Chapter 46: Metube

Not long after, the class was over. The song was long and so it took up most of the class. Lucas left the room along with the other students. Everyone was talking excitedly about the song and its origin. Behind the group of students, Marcus and his girlfriend were talking in low voices.

“You said you met him in the first class. What do you think of him?”

Amelia asked Marcus, who went silent for a few moments. He seemed to be thinking about what he was going to say.

“It’s still too early to tell, I’ve had few interactions with him. From what I’ve seen, he’s bold but friendly. Talented, seems to enjoy showing off his skills but is not arrogant. These are my impressions.”

Amelia was looking at Lucas’s back as she listened to Marcus’s words. In a way, Marcus’s impression seemed correct, she also had that kind of impression of him.

“I agree with you, but I’m not talking about it.”

Marcus looked at Amelia, and upon noticing her gaze, he finally understood what she meant, and a strange expression appeared on his face. He looked at Lucas and said.

“We barely know him, I don’t know if I’m comfortable with that.”

“Yeah, what if he cheats on us? We need to proceed with caution.”

Turning his gaze back to Amelia, Marcus asked in a low voice.

“Do you find him attractive?”

“Of course he is, he’s very handsome. He’s also talented and daring like you said.”

Hearing her words, he strangely nodded his head slightly as if in agreement with her. Not noticing that small gesture, Amelia turned to Marcus and said.

“Did you say you invited him to the climbing club?”

“Yes, but he didn’t accept. He said he wanted to see it first. I told him to come to see me at lunch so we could talk.”

“Perfect, so let’s talk to him together.”

“Fine, but I still think it’s too early to decide.”

“Let’s meet him first.”

The two then parted ways and went to different rooms. Before he completely lost sight of Lucas, Marcus saw him talking to Violette and his expression turned cold.

“Bitch.”

“The live I posted is gaining repercussion on the internet. It’s only been twenty minutes, but the number of views is rapidly increasing, look.”

On the way to the next class, Lucas found Violette waiting for him in the hallway. She looked strangely excited as she commented on how she’d live-streamed his performance on her cell phone earlier.

“Hm ... I don’t know if I like it. Can you delete this?”

Lucas doesn’t like much attention. Having worked as an assassin before, fame is something that is very far from his reality. Every famous assassin is incompetent, and most of the time disappears in a short time. Although Lucas is known in the underworld for being Katia’s son, he is not known as an assassin, so his fame is quite limited even in the underworld. Few people know of his existence, even fewer know of his deeds, and almost no one knows him personally.

About his work as an assassin, there are at most speculations.

So fame isn’t something he’s used to, and knowing that a video of him has appeared on the internet makes him uncomfortable.

“I can delete it if you want, but I think the video has already been downloaded and uploaded to other platforms.”

Lucas knows how complicated the internet can be. Anything that appears on the internet stays on the internet forever. It’s not like it’s impossible to censor the video, and Lucas even has the methods and resources to do so. He was thinking of doing just that but changed his mind when he heard the following words from Caritas.

“Fame is important to a God, remember that. If you want to grow as a Candidate for God of Love, you need to be famous. You need to demonstrate your virtues and capabilities. A famous person can also do things that a normal person cannot do: influencing people; this is very important for the God of Love.”

“Influence how?”

“What kind of God are you a candidate for? You need to influence people in the path of love. The biggest proof that I’m telling the truth is that the system has already created a mission for you to follow a path of fame.”

“What mission?”

“It seems that the repercussion of the live that Violette posted on the internet caught the attention of the system. According to the calculations made, the number of views will increase a lot and you will become relatively famous.”

An electronic voice sounded in Lucas’s head.
