Master of Lust

37  Lisa, Zack and Marnus

<nullb>Chapter - 37

"You... This sound so awesome," Rick looked at the Rabbit and muttered. He didn't quite understand most of the things of what the system showed him about the rabbit. But he could feel it in his gut that the rabbit was no ordinary thing

'What is this cultivation level, what are these skills?' Rick had literally no idea. The only thing that could make some sense and give a hint about the rabbit was its race, 'Healing Hare'.

"So what is this cultivation level?" Rick tried to click on the rabbits cultivation level. But just like his own, it showed nothing.

"A dead end, huh?" Rick thought and then turned towards the rabbit's skills. First he checked to look at Calm Embrace.

<nullb>[ Calm Embrace: When the Healing Hare comes in close radius of a person, a soothing feeling spreading all over the person's body. This skill also helps the person recover and heal small wounds. The closer the Healing Hare, the more is the effect.]

<nullb>[ Herb Sensitivity: When in close radius with a herb, the hare can easily sense it. The effective radius is around 2 kilometers.]

<nullb>[ Dan-Bead creation: Given the required herbs, the hare can put them together and make dan beads with powerful effects. The dan beads can be used to cure diseases, recover health, power up, and much more.]

"Holy Moly... Fuck my mot... Well... Lets not do that..." Rick almost lost his mind when he read the information. He was just getting used to the money he was getting from the system, and now he somehow summoned a freaking over-powered beast.

"If I could just make a lot of these dan beads and sell them in the market," Just as Rick thought about it, his mind could not help but wander to all the money grubbing possibilities that were in front of him. Not to mention there were also locked skills. How amazing they would be?

"I will be swimming in money," Rick's lips curled up in a greedy smirk.

"But where will I get the herbs from?" With the dreams of earning money, also dawned upon him. He could not actually find such herbs in the city.

"Oh, well... I will think about it later," Rick picked up the rabbit and pulled him up in his arms, gently stroking his fur.

"Why don't I get you something else?" Rick said as he walked towards the mini fridge, "I don't even know your preference. Lets try out everything."

Rick then offered the rabbit a few more treats chocolates, biscuits, apples and tiny bit of everything that he could find. The rabbit nibbled on them delicately, not discriminating against any of the food Rick gave him.

"I have to think for a name for you as well," Rick thought, "I can't just give you any name. I will have to think it through. What name should it be?"

"It has only been two days and so much so has actually happened. I don't need to rush things."

And just like that, Rick decided not think about the rabbit's name for a while. And so, Rick's thought actually shifted back to Lisa, Nurse Lisa from the hospital.

It was time for him to act upon what he had planned for Lisa. He couldn't do it yesterday, so it was time for him to act upon it. After all, the pretty Lisa held the answers to his questions he had about 15:30

the system. Rick was sure Lisa would be very cooperative.

time for him to act upon it. After all, the pretty Lisa held the answers to his questions he had about the system. Rick was sure Lisa would be very cooperative.

As he thought about it, Rick picked up his phone and dialed her number, feeling a mix of anticipation and curiosity.

The phone rang a few times before Nurse Lisa's voice echoed through the receiver, "Hello?"

"Hey, it's Rick," he greeted casually.

"Rick?" Lisa sounded a bit confused.

"Didn't we meet at the hospital? I am that handsome, good looking guy from yesterday, you helped take the body examination," Rick reminded Lisa.

"Oh, hey there! I didn't actually think you would call me," Nurse Lisa replied with a hint of playfulness in her tone. Wearing a red bathrobe, she lay on her bed.

<nullb>[

<nullb>1. Agree to her (Temptation -10)

<nullb>2. Ask why would she say that? (Temptation +5)

<nullb>]

"Hmmm... Why would you say that? You actually make my heart ache," Rick acted hurt.

"Why else?" Lisa raised her eyebrow as she sat up on the bed, "Wouldn't Amanda get angry if she that you are calling me?"

"Amanda? Who is she?" Rick sounded lost.

"Oh... You don't even know her?" Lisa teasingly asked, "Hehehe... Amanda will be sad if she heard that." Rick chuckled softly.

"Believe me... She was just my attending nurse," Rick admitted to knowing Amanda, "There is nothing between us. On the other hand, you..."

"Me? What about me?" Lisa asked.

"I think I favour the chances between us," Rick spoke mischievously.

"I was wondering if we could meet up and chat about something. Maybe over some drinks?" Rick suggested.

"Drinks? Sure thing! Nothing better than some alcohol to know each other. I know a good place. Say, how about we about in the evening or so?" Nurse Lisa suggested.

"Sure thing. Send me the address,"

"Huff..." Loosening his tie, a middle aged man walked through the front door.

When Marnus Warner finally walked through the front door of his house in the morning, he was met with an unexpected sight. All the curtains were pulled up, and no sunlight could pass through the window. There, in the dark living room, sat Zack, his son.

Zack's face had a mix of frustration and anger. Marnus could tell something had gone terribly wrong, but he had no idea what had transpired. Marnus sighed, feeling depressed. He knew it was going to be another headache for him.

Zack was his third son. Despite being twenty-eight this year, he was the dumbest of them all. Not a single day would pass where he won't create some problem for him. In the beginning, it was fun to watch his son bully others. After all, he was young and there was no harm in letting him run wild. But as he grew older, he brought more trouble than amusement.

There were times when if he wasn't his son, Marnus would have actually sent him to his maker. But since he couldn't, he had to actually settle it with money many a times or sometimes send his other two sons to take care of it.

But did Zack cared about any of this? Nope. He grew bolder every time.

And this time, Rick had actually managed to push all his wrong buttons, and Zack was burning with anger that might burn everything. So, as soon as he saw his father enter, he pounced like a lion spotting a wounded gazelle.

Marnus couldn't even pour himself a glass of water before he began my tirade. "Dad," Zack started, his voice seething with anger and frustration, "Where were you all night?"

He looked at his father, his eyebrows arching in frown. Clearly he wasn't happy.

"What's got you so worked up?" Marnus looked at him unbothered. He was thinking which other son of his was free to deal with the it.

When he saw the disgusted look on his father's face, Zack gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, "This time I don't want you to brush it under the rug," Zack said, his body trembling in anger, "I want that kid to die. But before that, I want to humiliate him in front of Amanda."

Marnus narrowed his eyes, his lips curled in a frowned. This was not like usual times. There are not many instances where Zack would talk about someone with so much hatred.

"Kid? Amanda? Is this one of those girl issues?" Marnus asked.

"Not just another girl. She is my woman. And I haven't even slept with her," Zack angrily yelled, "But that bastard... He actually dared to cuck me?"

"Cuck you? A son of the Warner family? Did you not warn him?" Marnus asked. It was not a joke anymore.

"That..." Zack was speechless in front of his father's question, "I did not remember about that."

"You good for nothing bastard? Can't even remember you family name?" Marnus almost threw the glass in his hand at his own son.

"Tell me what happened?" Marnus tried to hold himself back and asked.

So, he launched into his tale of woe. Zack recounted how Rick had belittled him, humiliated him in front of Amanda, and made a spectacle out of him in front of everyone in the store.

Marnus listened to him intently, his expression growing darker by the second. When Zack finished his rant, his father let out a deep sigh and asked, "Who is this kid, anyway? What do you know about him?"

But Zack shook his head, feeling a bit defeated. "Not much, Dad. I met him for the first time today. I was searching for Amanda when I found the both of them together."

Marnus leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. "So you don't know anything about his family, his background?"

Zack shook his head. "No, Dad, I don't. I just know that he acts like he's the king of the world, and he didn't even care to provoke me."

"You don't know who he is. But he also did not know who you were," Marnus turned quiet for a moment, his brow furrowed as he contemplated the situation. I could see the wheels turning in his head as he weighed the pros and cons of taking any action.

After a long pause, he finally spoke, his voice measured and thoughtful. "You are good for nothing son of mine. I don't actually care what happens to you. But unfortunately, you carry the name Warner behind you."

"I don't care if someone beats the shit out of you. But no one can see that," Marnus shook his head solemnly, "You are nothing, but the name Warner cannot be desecrated no matter what."

"Then..." Zack hesitatingly looked at his father and asked.

Marnus leaned forward, his gaze focused. "I will let you borrow old Ma. Track that kid and finish him. But remember, you cannot let anyone know. It has to be discrete and remember. No witness..."

"Yes dad," Zack was excited to hear his father. Old Ma was one of his father's own man. He had not met him many times, but whenever his gaze met his, Zack would break out in cold sweat.

Not even his brothers get to order him around. But this time, his father was lending him to finish off that bastard. It was going to be a walk in the cake.

"Dad, about Amanda?"

"Deal with her the way you want," Marnus waved his hand, gesturing him not to bother him any longer.

"Yes... Yes..." Zack hastily nodded, and quickly made his way out of there, out of the house.

"Hahaha... Now you will see bastard. I will fuck that bitch in front of your eyes and then skin you alive... Just you wait bastard." Outside his house, Zack laughed like a maniac.
