Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

Chapter 395 Ewww... Why are you always laughing? Thatʼs creepy and disgusting!

[Life is quite amusing, donʼt you agree... Gentleman Aether?]

Aether stared blankly at the words, his eyes dull and devoid of any real emotion, yet within them flickered glimpses of the past, unravelling like a film reel before him.

He let out a deep sigh, his voice laced with a mixture of amusement and frustration, ”So, this is your so-called heart game? Or whatever the hell you want to call it?”

The words shifted rapidly,

[Hahaha... Thereʼs no need to act so superior, Gentleman Aether... The game hasnʼt even truly begun yet.]

Aetherʼs expression hardened, his gaze intensifying as he glared at the mocking words. But then, without warning—

”Hehe...Mommy....!!”

The innocent sound of a childʼs laughter echoed through the room, pulling Aetherʼs attention away from the taunting text. He turned his head towards the reels and saw a small child, barely two years old, speaking with remarkable fluency. The scene before him showed the child being lovingly embraced by both parents, their affection filling the room with warmth that Aether could almost feel.

His jaw clenched involuntarily, the muscles tightening as a strange sensation began to creep into his body, an emotion he couldnʼt quite place. He shook his head, dismissing the feeling as he refocused on the words. ”I donʼt have time for this pointless game... Let me out.”

[Fu~Fu~ Whatʼs this? Are you feeling scared now?]

”Scared?” Aetherʼs brow furrowed, his voice laced with irritation.

[Yes~ Gentleman... I can see it. Your emotions are starting to unravel, arenʼt they? Hahaha.]

Aetherʼs lips twitched in annoyance as he glanced at the corner of his vision. Sure enough, his Level Bar was fluctuating wildly, the inconsistency only fueling his growing agitation.

[You see... Life is full of unexpected surprises, the kind that leaves you breathless, wondering how on earth such things could happen... especially when a defective product is somehow made into something high-end.]

Aetherʼs eyes burned with a deep, simmering rage. His vision tinged with red as veins bulged across his forehead, He gritted his teeth, his voice low and dangerous. ”Donʼt you dare call me defective... or else...”

[Or else what?]

”...” Aether fell silent. He could only stare at the words.

[Hahaha... Youʼre speechless, I see. Letʼs move on, shall we? Letʼs take a look at the beginning of your miserable existence.]

Suddenly, the scene before him changed.

The atmosphere transformed into that of a lively, extravagant party, and Aetherʼs expression twisted in discomfort, a bitter taste filling his mouth as he bit his lip to hold back the surge of emotions.

It was the childʼs fifth birthday. Aetherʼs parents had spared no expense, hosting a grand celebration in his honour.... Today was the day they would show him to the outside world.

The guest list was filled with their influential colleagues, top actors, and key figures from the entertainment industry, all mingling in a display of opulence.

”Oh! Is this your son? My, heʼs absolutely adorable~” a stunningly beautiful woman remarked, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at the five-year-old boy who stood before her, dressed impeccably in an elegant outfit that made him look like a miniature gentleman.

”Thank you,” the boy replied with a small, polite smile, bowing slightly in a manner far beyond his years.

”Wow! Look at him, heʼs so well-mannered,” the woman exclaimed, clearly impressed. She turned to the boyʼs parents, who were beaming with pride, their smiles wide as they basked in the praise being lavished upon their son.

”Haha... Thank you,” the boyʼs mother said, her smile radiating with warmth as she leaned down to plant a tender kiss on her sonʼs cheek. ”Heʼs such a curious child, always eager to learn new things, always striving to improve himself.”

The boyʼs father nodded in agreement, ”To be honest, even I was taken aback when he started flawlessly imitating my rehearsals. He picked it up just by watching me.”

The woman nodded, her expression a blend of surprise and genuine interest as she continued to observe the boy. Then, as if remembering something, she turned and called for her own child.

A little girl, also five years old, appeared by her side, shyly clinging to her motherʼs leg. Her large, nervous eyes flickered between Aether and his parents.
