Surviving As The Villainess
Chapter 128 - Irina's

Liyuna and Yvette were taken to the highest peak of the Obelian's Circle building, to the residence of their leader, Irina.

Since this was what Liyuna was after from the beginning, she happily followed the receptionist who guided them.

'In this way, Allen and the others could sneak in a little easier.'

As Victor had previously said, the guard at the Obelian's Circle building was extremely tight. As long as the eyes looked, Liyuna could see people in black clothes standing guard at every corner.

Of course, Liyuna did not make a clear appearance that she was watching the situation around.

Yvette was also so, she performed her role as Liyuna's servant well.

DING!

The elevator door opened, the receptionist allowed Liyuna and Yvette to enter first.

Arriving at the top floor, the receptionist immediately brought them before Irina.

Yvette who saw the surrounding conditions amazed when he saw there is a barrier wall of this place made of a large aquarium. There are many types of fish that swim here and there.

Looks like Lucas' mother is someone with high taste.

"I brought Miss Castris here, leader." Said the receptionist after knocking on the door where Irina was staying.

Irina who had been waiting at her penthouse had immediately invited the receptionist to bring Liyuna inside.

When the door made of ebony was opened, Liyuna was presented with a very unusual view.

Lots of decorations made of gold and also rare paintings that have high prices.

Liyuna who also lived in a luxurious neighborhood could see how high the funiture value in this place was.

"Welcome home." Irina welcomes Liyuna and Yvette.

Upon seeing Irina, the receptionist immediately withdrew and left them to speak.

It's the first time Liyuna has met Lucas' mother. Both of his eyes widened when he saw how similar Mother Lucas was to Lucas.

Brands both look like carbon copies that make no difference.

"Let's talk in my study."

Irina led Liyuna and Yvette to her study. There, the two saw the back of a kneeling man facing a desk.

The man had white hair with a black tinge. At first glance it looks like Irina's hair but not as bright and clean as hers.

'Ah, that hair...'

Liyuna realized something when she saw the hair. In his memory he seemed to have seen hair with such a unique color.

'Where have I seen him?'

"One more time I say welcome, Miss Liyuna Aria Castris."

Irina was now sitting on her desk chair, looking at Liyuna with a smile. Somehow Liyuna felt that her smile was similar to Lucas', a smile that could let anyone off guard.

Liyuna herself did not immediately reply, while Yvette was clearly glancing at the young man kneeling on the floor.

Knowing the direction Yvette looked at, Irina smiled again.

"You don't have to care about him. So I heard Miss wants to hire a guard from us?"

"No, that's not our goal." Liyuna said honestly.

From the beginning, this was their plan. Liyuna and Yvette would make a fuss and pretend to want to hire guards but actually their destination was this place, Irina's penthouse.

Actually Liyuna wished she could find Lucas and immediately escape from this place but unfortunately Liyuna could not find any signs of his whereabouts.

Then if they managed to break through to the penthouse, Liyuna would instantly tell the truth about her goal. After all, it was useless to lie because surely Irina would know. In Elisien, under Karl's name, Liyuna had received protection from Obelian's Circle.

If he insisted on getting protection again, it would definitely be very strange.

"Hmmm..." Irina's eyebrows slightly rose when she heard Liyuna telling the truth.

From the beginning Irina knew that Liyuna had her own goals because everything felt awkward.

The daughter of the Castris family was famous as a polite and dignified person but what Liyuna did below was not like that.

She looks like a spoiled and lovable Princess.

If so, surely he had a plan and deliberately did it to attract Irina's attention.

"Try saying what you want here."

"We'd like to meet senior Lucas."

Irina's eyes were perfectly rounded when she heard Lucas' name coming out of Liyuna's mouth.

Irina does not know that the Castris family's rightful heir is close to her son. He's never heard of this before.

"Meet Lucas?"

"Right, we'd like to meet senior Lucas."

"You guys came all the way here from Zen just to meet that kid?"

"Of course, we have no other reason than that."

"So you guys made a fuss just to meet him, yeah."

"There's no other choice, right? To meet you, we had to make a fuss. We're sure you don't want the company to get a bad appraisal because of the commotion we're making."

"That's right, I can't let the commotion you guys just made. But, making a fuss just to see Lucas wasn't it a little overwhelming?"

"I don't think it's overkill."

"Oh?"

"Yuna was right, we were Lucas' senior friends so everything we did wasn't overkill."

"So you're Lucas's friends? I just heard it for the first time."

Irina glanced at Hajun who was still kneeling on the floor. This was a punishment for him, he would not be allowed to leave until sunset.

Hajun who noticed Irina's gaze immediately replied, "I also just heard it for the first time."

"Lied."

Irina knew that Hajun was lying. It's impossible if he doesn't know what Lucas's been doing all this time. After all, it was only Hajun who was always beside the child.

"There's no way you don't know. Aren't you the 'sister' of the kid?"

Liyuna and Yvette's gaze was instantly sidetracked to the black-white-haired youth who was kneeling.

It was the first time they met Lucas' brother and he was the reason Lucas returned to Russia despite being reluctant.

"Oh yeah, I don't really care whether you know it or not." Irina decided not to worry about it.

Want Hajun to know or not about the whereabouts of Lucas' friend, he actually doesn't really care.

"If you're friends with Lucas, then you know who he is?"

"This is the first time we've heard of Lucas' true senior identity. We didn't know at all."

"That kid never told you?"

Liyuna shook her head. From the start, he knew nothing about Lucas.

"Surprisingly, if you're friends then you're the reason Lucas came back a few years ago, right? He came back because he didn't want you to be in danger."

Liyuna and Yvette stared at each other. They remember Lucas who suddenly returned to Russia.

After going to Havelian Park and playing together, Lucas suddenly disappeared without a poll. He did not even send a message to the two of them.

Is there a reason he might have disappeared is them?

The two recalled back when Lucas was often chased by people dressed all in black. Liyuna herself had once felt firsthand how Lucas was being chased.

If all that is true then there is no reason to back off. They will take Lucas back to Elishien and make him unnecessary to return to Russia.

That's what Lucas wanted. He didn't want to be in Russia for a reason they still don't know.

But while in the office of Obelian's Circle in Elishien, someone named Titus said something different.

"I've heard from someone named Titus before that the senior went back to Russia over a claim."

"Titus says? Well, you guys met him, yeah."

"Before coming here, we had time to visit the office of Obelian's Circle in Elishien."

"So yes, you know from Titus. Looks like Lucas hid everything from you, huh? You have been so hard to come here."

"It's best they're sent home." Hajun said suddenly.

He looked at Irina with both of his sharp eyes.

"Why? Are you worried about their safety? Take it easy, I won't treat them harshly."

"She was the daughter of the Castris family. If he's here then he's gone from Elisien. His own father asked for protection from Obelian's Circle. There's no way she's gonna let her daughter come here."

Liyuna could not deny the words from Lucas' older brother but she could not leave empty-handed.

"I'm not leaving before I meet senior Lucas."

"It's a shame, but Lucas's not here."

"What?!"
