Legacy Firing

"Household chores plus..... Cooking too."

Charlus looked at the girl.

"What? Can\'t you cook?"

"I can cook," She did not expect what he had said. She was thinking that he would ask for some despicable action.

"By the way, what\'s your name?" Charlus asked her. He knew her name through checking her status but she hadn\'t yold him yet so it would seem odd that he already knew her name.

"Lucie."

[Lucie Grahams Lvl 32]

[HP - 900/900]

[Status - Anxious]

[Lucie is an orphan and was adopted by a Latino woman who wanted to use her in fighting rings. After the ring was closed, she was sent to study. Her mother claimed that she owned the apartment and Lucie believed her. She is adept at karate and is a club captain at Whitney High School. However, she was never allowed to go to tournaments by her \'mother\'.]

Charlus pitied her. It wasn\'t like he needed the money. And she was able to maintain the unit in very good condition.

But more importantly, she was in Whitney High School so he could act as if he was her cousin so that he would have a more social life.

"Which school do you go to?" Charlus wanted to make sure that he would not raise any suspicion so he decided to ask as many questions as he could to justify his information.

"Whitney High School. What\'s your name?" She did not know Charlus\' name yet

"Charlus."

"You\'re British?" Charlus\' accent was the British accent, which made Lucie ask that question.

"I... I\'m going to Whitney as well. I\'m in this exchange program." Charlus didn\'t want to answer that question.

"Really?"

"Yeah. So how\'s your social life there?" Charlus wanted to know if there was anything interesting at the school who was going to be attending.

"It\'s okay. W h y?"

"Good. So tell your friends that I am your cousin."

"What?" Lucie was confused.

"I\'m your cousin. We are obviously going to the same school. Wouldn\'t it be odd if we were living together? I don\'t want it to affect my scene."

"Your scene? What scene are you expecting?"

"Did you look at me? I\'m gorgeous!" Charlus opened his arms, showcasing his body. "Anyways, I can\'t be held down by you, so I\'m your cousin. It wasn\'t exactly a request."

Lucie turned away.

"Don\'t forget to get your stuff out of my room. And set my stuff in the closets." Charlus called after Lucie.

Lucie went to the room. Charlus just relaxed on the sofa. He was looking forward to school.

The next day, Charlus followed Lucie on her way to school. He stopped her every time he found something interesting.

"Could you be quick?!" Lucie screamed at Charlus. She was angry because he was making her late.

"Sorry, but who\'s the employee who\'s not doing her job properly?" Charlus handed Lucie his phone.

"This isn\'t my job." 

"It is now. Take a picture of me." Charlus posed for a picture.

He was standing in front of the school gate which was painted like a dragon. He was posing like an idiot.

Suddenly someone bumped into him. Charlus was knocked back a little.

"Fucking nerd." The person who had bumped into Charlus was pissed.

Charlus chuckled.

"Midget."

Charlus retorted so that the person was able to hear it.

"What\'s wrong with you Lucie? Bringing idiots here? Didn\'t you brief him? I don\'t like random weak ass poofs mumbling something about me. This guy doesn\'t even have the courage to say it to my face."

Lucie stopped taking photos and went forward. She grabbed Charlus arm and started dragging him forward.

"Afraid? I thought so." The boy who bumped into Charlus sneered at him.

Charlus laughed.

"You\'re an idiot, Mr Loser! She\'s saving you from me."

Lucie cursed.

"What are you doing? Why are you making trouble?" She muttered under her breath.

Charlus shook his head.

"I know I\'m fun to hang around with. You can thank me later."

He shook Lucie\'s hand off his arm. He stood in front of the guy.

"What? Afraid to hit me? What\'s wrong with this guy? He was so arrogant just a couple of seconds earlier." Charlus looked down at the boy.

The guy got angry. He went to Charlus and punched as hard as he could.

Charlus caught the punch quickly and crushed the fist lightly. But he still let his own hand connect with his face.

"AAH!"

Charlus clutched his face with his hand.

"What is happening here?"

A teacher came to see what the problem was.

"Are you the exchange student?

"Yes sir." Charlus said, his hand still on his face. He looked very much in pain.

Charlus still had his hand on his face. The teacher looked at the person who attacked.

"I am so ashamed, Bruce! Is this the impression we give to our guests?! You will serve detention for the next week!" The teacher shouted at Bruce.

Bruce was clutching his fist and was on the verge of having tears on his face.

"He was the one who hurt me, Mr Robert. My fist is crushed. I think it\'s broken."

"I don\'t want to hear anything else. Mr Black, if I\'m right, please find a student to guide you to the principal\'s office when you are better. I am sure everybody here is more than happy to help you." The teacher looked around and everybody looked away.

The teacher left. Charlus took the hand off his face.

"So where are we off to now?" Charlus looked at Lucie.

"You\'re okay?" Lucie was surprised.

"Yeah. Why?" Charlus acted as if nothing happened.

"But all this was-" Lucie still couldn\'t comprehend what happened.

"Oh, you\'re so boring. Imma figure out stuff by myself." Charlus chuckled and went forward without Lucie. He wanted to meet new people anyways.

Charlus wandered off into the school. Lucie tried to catch off but even though he did not seem to be running, Charlus was too fast for her.
