I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 99: Destruction(1)

• How did the meeting go?

Luke sat up straight in his chair and smiled at Lance, who had an uneasy expression on his face. Following the meeting, Luke had Nash send Lance a message informing him of the meeting's progress.

"Your highness, it came to a satisfactory conclusion."

While watching Luke, Lance rested his hand on his chin. He doesn't believe a word this jerk says. He had the impression that this jerk had done something significant either before or after the discussion. He already knows how this moron behaves and refuses to believe anything he says that contains the word "peace" or anything linked to it.

And he was correct; he will do something big... But not yet.

Luke grinned broadly as he considered the scheme that was building in his mind. He gets thrilled just thinking about it.

Lance squinted his eyes as he stared at the odd smile of the jerk in front of his screen. He suddenly swallowed, fearful that something terrible would occur.

"What makes you so jittery, your highness?"

• You scoundrel, you're going to do something again aren't you?

"Hmm? I'm not sure what you're getting at, your highness."

• You jerk, don't pretend like you have no idea what I'm talking about.

Luke remained silent and only smiled at Lance, making Lance uneasy.

• Anyway, since you don't have anything meaningful to say, I'll end the call. I still have a significant amount of paperwork to complete.

"Okay, your highness, take care."

Lance frowned and hung up.

After the call ended, Luke's countenance became solemn and he stood up. He then exited his room and headed down the corridor to Spencer's lab, where Spencer and the kids were supposed to be.

When Luke opened the door, he observed Spencer lecturing his siblings about magic circles, but they came to a halt when they noticed Luke.

Spencer was going to inquire as to what he was doing here when he remembered something.

'This scumbag hasn't slept or eaten anything for two days.'

Luke slowly opened his lips to speak to him but Spencer's hand stopped him before he could. Luke gave him a puzzled look, but Spencer only stared at him.

"Eat first, then chat later. I know you haven't slept yet and don't appear to have any plans to do so, so at the very least eat something before you do something stupid."

Nash jumped on Luke's shoulder in agreement after that.

"He is correct! You should eat dad! You've lost a lot of weight!"

Luke came to a halt and blinked at Spencer. Spencer frowned.

"Now, don't look at me like that; go to the kitchen, and I'll make you some food."

Luke just nodded and sighed. He then allowed the kids to lead him to the kitchen. Nash set a chair for him when they arrived, while the kids readied the cutlery. Luke just stared blankly at the kids who were performing his work for him.

"Ah!"

Luke turned to face the source of the sound and saw Selena, Lina, Yulia, and Liam, each carrying a cookie tray in their hands. They were all taken aback and looked at Luke. Selena then inquired further.

"Why are you here?"

Yulia then inquired, perplexed.

"Wasn't it just a minute ago that you were in your room?"
