What do you want to say, Uncle Sam?
"You are Michael, right?"
"Yes, I am Michael."
(He steps in front of Olivia.)
"You are the one who defeated Lucien Draven."
"You are right. That's me."
"I am here to tell you something about the PAST OF LUCIEN DRAVEN."
LUCIEN'S PAST
"I know everything about Lucien because I was his mentor, and I know how Olivia can use Regicide."
Uncle Sam looked at Lucien's tomb for a long moment before speaking.
"People only remember the monster he became..."
"...but I remember the boy he used to be."
"His name was Lucien Draven."
"And before he ever dreamed of becoming a conqueror..."
"...he was just a son trying to protect his family."
Lucien Draven was born in Nagasphere (one of the 11 Major Areas).
He was a worker for the Valric Clan, and he later moved to Elyndor Realm to earn money. There, he worked as a cleaner for the Valric Clan.
The heir of the Valric Clan at that time was...
Jaques Valric.
Thorne's father.
"He was a very dirty and evil man."
One day, when Lucien came to collect his payment from the Valrics, he brought his mother with him.
"She was a prostitute."
Jaques Valric had paid her money for his own pleasure, but he had also planted a seed in her womb.
OLIVIA was the bastard daughter of Jaques Valric, and she was Lucien's step-sister.
In Lucien's village, an enemy force attacked and tried to take over the land. The leaders of the village had the power to fight back, but they were too weak to act.
"They chose to do nothing."
That decision led to a massacre.
This was the moment Lucien began to hate weak people. In his eyes, weak people did not contribute to society; they only brought suffering.
His entire family died.
Except Olivia.
Lucien left the village and eventually met me.
I became his teacher.
I taught him many things, but he was different from every student I had ever trained. Other students never cared about the great figures of history.
Lucien did.
He always asked questions, and he applied what he learned from books to real life.
Sometimes his ideas were difficult to answer because, deep down, you knew he was right in certain ways.
One day, Lucien said this to me:
"My grandfather fought in the Dark War against the Son of Marca. He saved many people during the war, but nobody remembers him. On the other hand, everyone knows who the Son of Marca was. The world is like that. HISTORY ONLY REMEMBERS CONQUERORS."
When Lucien unlocked his Super NIT, he gained the power of the Purple Emperor.
After that day, he left me and never truly spoke to me again.
Later, I heard that he had gone to Bloodveil Harbor and become an agent of Organization X.
"Organization X didn't create Lucien."
"They simply found a broken young man..."
"...and convinced him that his hatred was justice."
There, he learned things that completely changed his perspective on life.
Afterward, he created Crimson Oath under the name of the Black Fang Order, which was secretly being controlled by Organization X.
He tried to create a world where he could become the conqueror.
But in the end, his own words became the truth he failed to understand.
"History remembers conquerors."
And he never became one.
I trained him to become the strongest man in the world, but he was always the greatest student I have ever had and ever will have.
And now...
He is dead.
But I will remember him as the man who could have changed the world if he had chosen a different path.
"He wasn't born believing the weak deserved to die."
"He became that man."
Michael...
I will remember you as the man who defeated Lucien not in a physical battle, but in a mental and ideological war.
How did you do it?
Michael stood there in complete disbelief.
"OH FUCK... OH FUCK..."
"What happened, Michael?" Olivia asked.
Michael thought,
Michael's blood ran cold.
Olivia...
Jaques Valric's daughter.
A possibility formed in his mind that he desperately wanted to reject.
"No..."
"No..."
"Please tell me I'm wrong."
Uncle Sam slowly looked at Michael.
...
"Michael..."
...
"Who told you Jaques Valric was your father?"
