Chapter XXIV: A new challenge appears
Larcade's Pov
"You're crazy." I laughed.
"I'm serious man. My father wants me to marry a Heartfilia." He replied.
"Well I mean I'm not complaining. It's your old man after all." I sighed.
"Yeah, and I want you to go and have an investigation about her." I gave me a picture of a blonde woman practically on her 20's and she looks beautiful, to be honest.
"Her name is Lucy Heartfilia and Dad is already talking to her Aunt about the situation but I want a background check first." He chuckled. "You need to meet her in person tho too." He added.
"Where does she lives," I asked.
"Tokyo, Japan. I'll give you the exact location once you got there." He replied. "I mean I know it's a lot of trouble since you have a very-" he added but cut him off.
"It's fine. I'm almost thinking of going back to Japan myself thinking about giving my dear old Uncle a visit." I smirked.

Anna's Pov
"No that's not happening!" I exclaimed.
"I believe you don't have any much of a choice here." He laughed mocking me.
"Lucy is not marrying your son," I said.
"He will. I don't give up that easily Anna." He smirked.
"I'm fully aware of that information." I crossed my arms.
"See so don't even bother on stopping my plans you'll just end up regretting it." He replied.

Lucy's Pov
I was at my table and it seems like a normal day but it isn't one little bit. Natsu has been ignoring for weeks. And only me.
I'm doing my job as Natsu's secretary for now because of some emergency in France that Juvia needs to check on.

Natsu's Pov
📞📞📞
How long are you gonna be there?
I'm going to be pretty busy Natsu-San. I'm sorry it's the wedding season in France I need to take care of my boutique.
I understand. Go ahead. Just contact me whenever you're coming back.

Larcade's Pov
I know that Invel will spill the beans. But no need to worry We'll continue on with your plan. We'll make sure Uncle won't trust anyone. Not even his own best friend.
📞📞📞
Hey
What is it? I'm quite busy here.
Where's your dad?
He's in a meeting right now.
Is that so. Very well just tell him that I know a perfect person to get the job done.
Of course, if you're talking about the famous boutique owner he already knows what to do.
Perfect.
Why so interested?
Nothing. Just something we have to do for Invel.
Right. Right. I almost forgot. Are you in Tokyo?
Yeah, I am. Standing right in front of my Family's company.
Good luck.
I don't need luck.

Natsu's Pov
I was in my office minding my own business until Lucy said something that sends chills down my spine.
Natsu, Larcade Dragneel is looking for you.
"Se-Send him in" I spoke over the mic and with no further ado he's right there standing in front of me.
Blonde. Cross tattoo on his forehead. Another tattoo on his arm. Bottom lashes. He's a perfect mixture of both of his parents.
"Long time no see Uncle." He smiled ever so innocently.
"It's been a while how are you....... Larcade." I tried to calm myself down. "Why are you here?"
"Just came back to Japan and I wanted to visit you." He smiled.
"Is that so." I stood up from my chair fighting the urge to punch him in the face.

Lucy's Pov
I was in my table doing some paperwork until Auntie called.
📞📞📞
Lucy.
What is it, Auntie?
I have some bad news.
Not again.
It's a completely different case, sweetie. I'm forced to make you marry the son of an old colleague of mine. I literally have no say in the matter.
What the...
Sweetie, it's fine if you don't like it. I'll just talk to Natsu about the matter and maybe we can work things out.
Auntie. I don't think Natsu would even want to help.
What are you talking about?
If I need to do it to make him stop I'll marry his son.
Lucy are you sure.
Yeah. I don't even think Natsu cares about me anymore.
Come on. This is like your first fight with Natsu at least talk things out before making this decision.
I tried talking to him but he always turned things down. Auntie, it's been weeks.
At least be a little patient.
Auntie, Victor Conte will do everything on his power just to get what he wants. I'm doing this for your sake as well. You're the one who keeps on protecting me. Now it's my turn.
Lucy. I'm not forcing you.
I'm not forced.
It's on what you want. We can call Commander for this he can help.
I...... I want you safe.
I can take care of myself with everyone we know so far Victor would be a piece if cake.

Gray's Pov
📞📞📞
Monsieur is Madame still in Japan.
No, she left hours ago why.
She isn't in the boutique yet. I kept on calling her but there's no one picking the phone.
How many tries have you gotten?
I already tried 10 times now. Her phone kept on ringing but no one's picking up. Monsieur the boutique won't last a day without Madame.
I'll try to contact her.
Merci Monsieur

Victor Conte's Pov
"Let's make this fun shall we." I laughed.
"What the hell do you want from me!!" She hissed.
"Simple just something your boyfriend has to do," I smirked.

Natsu's Pov
I was in my office my head banging on my desk. Larcade already left and I was very eager to just punch something and I ended up breaking a vase. Then the door opened reviling Gray.
"Where's Loke I never saw him since yesterday?" He asked.
"He out busy with his own stuff," I replied.
"I'll leave later but I won't take that long." He put his hands in his pocket.
"Yeah sure, suit yourself." I sighed.

Victor Conte's Pov
I'm not that dumb. I know your first instinct is to go after me but I want to make Dragneel suffer in your own two hands.

Ankhresam's Pov
So I'm really the one who needs to take care of Dragneel after all.
My scheme on Redfox didn't happen I've been super busy and It's been so long my mind forgot about the damn thing.
(A/N: You're not the one who forgot about it, I did)
I looked at the pictures and I took the picture with an X on it.
Might as well change my plans eliminating Dragneel will be quite enough to satisfy me.
I threw the picture to the trash can near me.
Ashley. You'll be meeting your ex pretty soon.
