"Ah!" As the powerhouse unceremoniously slams against the wall and lands on the floor with a loud thud, an unnerving cry erupts from his throat and he blacks out in an instant.With just a casual block of his punch, the powerhouse died! His eyes and mouth are wide open but his heart is no longer beating! It is a clear indignant death!Never did he believe he would be the one losing his life!Everything happened in a fraction of a second! "That's what you get when you attack Lucien!" Declan snarls and looks around at the other powerhouses like a predator gazing at its prey. "Who is next? I love it when people like you bite off more than they can chew!" He sneers icily.The Smiths' mouths are agape! Their hearts are pounding dejectedly against their chests as if they want to burst and their bodies are full of goosebumps!They feel like they are dreaming. They can't believe their eyes!Declan was more than twenty steps away from Lucien and the powerhouse but in the blink of an eye, he
"Since you all are so eager to do this, then let's do it!" Declan snorts coldly! He clenches his fists and stomps down hard on the granite-tiled floor, instantly forming a huge dent full of cracks!Bang!As the terrifying sound echoes, dust rises in the air from the cracks!At the same time, not in the mood to deliberate on the dust as his eyes are still as sharp as a dagger, Declan darts straight toward the powerhouses like an arrow leaving a bow!Declan is naturally fast but he had gone even much faster making it hard for the Smiths to keep up with his moves! They keep blinking and blinking! Under the fragment of his speed, only the color of his clothes can be seen!It doesn't take long for him to meet up with the powerhouses and the war breaks out!"Now, you will die!" One of the powerhouses snarls and hoists his fist at Declan!This punch is unexpected, powerful, and quick! And with the force it possesses, evidence being the great wind it carries, it will undoubtedly shatter Decl
The room is unceremoniously silent! The Smiths are shuddering! What just happened?They feel like they are going crazy. They can't believe Declan really did all that and is still the one who just spoke to their helmsman that way; with such disrespect! Perhaps they have developed Agnosia because if that's not the case, how else can they explain this sight before them? It definitely can't be real!He is only one man, whereas, the powerhouses are more than a dozen! More than a dozen powerful powerhouses! How can only a man make all of them immobile?Gosh, their hearts are pounding so drastically.Phil is mouth agape! He is merely a subordinate; how can he be so powerful?He subconsciously shivers! Now, he understands why Chad had repeatedly told him that the young man is not one to be provoked!He had tried to ignore the fact that Chad had told him last night that it might be Dusk's head that he would be receiving and it turned out the same way but he can't anymore! It is blatantly striki
"I didn't tell you about the murderer of my son because I thought Dusk would be able to handle him. I didn't want to bother you about an irrelevant issue. "But now that he is proven way stronger than I imagined, I'm certain that only you and your men can kill him! I want his head! Kill anyone that tries to stop you from getting that!"Declan sneers. "I guess you meant me because you know I'll never let that happen, right? Not like it can happen even if I'm not here anyway! But wait old cargo, do you really think these weaklings can kill me? Hmph!" He drifts his gaze from Phil to the captain. "If you still want to leave here alive, I recommend you walk out of that door now that I'm giving you the chance! And make sure to take your dogs along with you!"The captain's eyes narrow. "And who are you to say what I should do?""Oh," Declan says, tilting his head as if thinking. "Let's say I'm the one who turned the more than twelve powerhouses on the floor in front of you into mere garbage.
Bang!"Ah!"Boom!"My wrists!"Waah!"My ankles!""Pftt!""Get away, aughhh!""Noo!"...In two seconds, several miserable cries of agony resonate and the breaking of bones and bodies slamming against walls, tables, and everywhere fills the air.The Smiths, Phil, and the captain are tensed and their breathing is raspy as they watch Declan kicking away the thirty powerhouses rushing at him!The most shocking part is that he gets these people so high in the air before they land with an excruciatingly loud thud on the floor.The powerhouses couldn't even touch the hem of his shirt, let alone hit him. No matter the size, no matter how muscular they are, they are sent flying by Declan's kick!He also made sure to leave them immobile!In just two seconds, Declan subdues the thirty powerhouses without dropping a sweat!The Smiths' mouths are so wide open at the scene before them that eggs can fit inside! The sight is really astonishing!First, this young man killed beast by merely blocking h
Lucien laughs and shakes his head, seemingly not bothered at all. "This isn't the first time such toys have been aimed at me, old cargo. Let me tell you, I've faced much bigger toys than this on several occasions, and yet I'm still standing here in front of you."I came here today to demand an explanation from you and to hold you accountable for dispatching an assassin after me. I have no intention of killing you. "But my tolerance is limited; once your dogs pull the trigger, you've sealed your fate and the fate of your family! To put it bluntly, the Smiths will no longer exist in Richmond, VA!"Phil gets an ominous feeling in his guts. Not only because of Lucien's statement but because of their expressions. Despite the fact that they are standing in front of a swarm of guns, Lucien and Declan appear unconcerned.Declan even has a sinister grin on his face.He is having scruples. Won't I be making a mistake by doing this?But as soon as he remembers that Lucien and Declan are just ord
Is the world suddenly a supernatural entity? Do supernatural beings now live amongst men?The Smiths are beyond shocked. Nope, they are terrified! They are shivering. Their hearts are palpitating. Their breaths are sporadic.They are scared. Most of them are standing but their hearts have already flown away. They are just empty vessels. They don't know how to explain what just happened. It is beyond their knowledge and imagination.Not only did the young man in front of them dodge 720 bullets per round multiplied by the number of rounds fired which can be said to be more than 1000 bullets, but he also disarmed the gunmen, scattered their guns, and left them dead on the floor. All he did in seconds. How? How is that possible?They feel like they are standing before a ferocious demon! A horrifying bloodthirsty ferocious demon! One who they don't think has existed before!They now know he wasn't just throwing his weight around when he said those things are toys and have been aimed at hi
The Smiths become tense, big beads of sweat dribbling from their heads down their cheeks to the floor. When did they offend the military?If they can remember correctly, the only person they have offended is Lucien, why then is the military here?The military is a force that is rarely seen as they always battle international wars and are always within the borders. What did they do to attract the military's attention? Their eyes are wide with horror. Especially because of the guns all over the floor and the dead men and immobile ones.If the military happens to see those, they will be damned. Damned! As the word echoes in their minds, all their eyes settle on Lucien.Could it be that he called the military on them? He had said not long ago that they will no longer exist in Richmond! If the military is here to fulfill that, it is without a doubt that they would indeed be wiped from existence!Their jaw drops. No, it can't be so! Lucien's face is blank, making it hard for them to get an
As Lucien and Juliet walk through the door, into their room, Juliet bolts the door. The next second, she drops her nightgown.Lucien is backing her as he is trying to rid his body of his clothes. So, he is oblivious to this.Taking that as an opportunity, Juliet slowly frees herself of her panties and bra, standing in all her glory. It doesn't take long for her cheeks to flush red. For more than an hour now, she has been so aroused.Her mind couldn't stop flashing in her eyes what she and Lucien were doing before they noticed Brianna. The images got her so aroused. At a point, she began feeling helpless. In the space of two or three hours, she freshened up more than twelve times. Each time the urge was so much, she would rush into the bathroom and pour water on her body so she can calm down.But Lucien is here now. She doesn't know if she can wait any longer. No, she doesn't think she can. She slowly walks up to him at the same time Lucien is removing his pants and hugs him from behi
The ride to Dragon bay is a quick one as in the blink of an eye, the chauffeur pulls over in front of the gigantic gate, which appears to be glowing in the dark, making everywhere look so breathtaking."Wow," Brianna gasps whilst shivering in excitement. As soon as Lucien alights, she quickly follows him. But Lucien halts, causing her to groan. Her curiosity is at its zenith."You can leave now, Bryson, we will speak on the phone. Have a good night.""Alright, Mr. Wood. Have a good night's rest as well," Mr. Ethan replies reverently and taps his chauffeur who had been lost staring at the magnificent buildings behind the gate as if his life depended on them. "Let's go."The chauffeur snaps out of his reverie and nods, revising the car and zooming away.Lucien stares at the duty post of the old man from earlier and sees no one in it. Good, the man left. He then brings out his phone and dials Juliet's number."Honey," Juliet's sweet but tense voice sounds from the end of the line."Mi a
Brianna is perplexed. She furrows her brows as she asks, "How?"At this moment, before Declan can say anything, the car comes to a sudden halt and soft knocks are heard on the two glasses. Lucien unwinds one while Declan unwinds the other. It is the two Jacks and Tyler."You said you would be leaving for Washington, D.C. tomorrow, Mr. Wood, are we coming with you?" Tyler asks."Nope," Lucien doesn't waste a second shaking his head. "I'll be going with Declan alone. This is a family matter. Besides, as you guys know, it is Washington, D.C. that I'm going to this time, not some minor city around Richmond, your powers will be useless over there. Just enjoy your rest.""But this is also Washington, D.C., Mr. Wood, how would you survive over there alone if the Pearsons choose to attack? I heard they are one of the major families there.""It's a family in Washington, D.C., what can they possibly do to Lucien?" Declan retorts smugly. "You guys should just take a chill pill, we will meet you
Brianna is confused at Lucien's response to Declan. Of course, she knows who Ellison is but what she doesn't understand is what Ellison has done that Lucien plans to pay him a visit and seek an explanation. It should not be forgotten that Brianna was kidnapped before Ellison's men arrived to destroy the Mansion earlier so she has no idea that her family Mansion has been destroyed.She can only look at Lucien and asks, "What happened, Lucien? Why are you preparing to visit my dad's half-brother? What did he do this time?""It's like this," for several minutes, despite the fact that he wasn't the one asked, Declan takes his time to explain everything to her.By the time he is done, Brianna is not the only one boiling in rage, Nikki, Tyler, and the two Jacks can't also help the rage surging through them. Just like Brianna, they had no idea something of such happened before they left for East Highland Park. Hah! They are so shocked!"If the Mansion was destroyed, where then are we going
"This is the Douglas family Manor, what does what I'm doing here got to do with you?!" Brooks glares right back at Brianna and retorts coldly. It is safe to say that Brooks and Brianna share the same manner of animosity toward each other. Brooks is the reason the Pearsons ever fell. Brooks is the reason Juliet stabbed herself. Brooks also tried to kill Lucien.There's no how Brianna wouldn't hate someone who did all this. If she has her way, she would have ripped him to threads!On the other hand, Brianna was the only trump card Brooks had to get Lucien into his trap. He had also been salivating fucking her so many times till there was nothing more left to fuck.One could imagine how angry he is that all his plans have failed. And now, the same Brianna is questioning him? He wishes he can rip her useless tongue out of her mouth."Do you guys know each other?!" Seeing the grave animosity between the gent and lady, Ryan can't help but ask."Nah," after a while, Brianna shakes her head.
Muah!Muah!A soft sound echoes as Helen kisses Lucien's feet. The next moment, the Douglases also begin approaching Lucien one by one and kissing his feet. This goes on for more than twenty minutes before it finally comes to an end.Lucien is quite emotional. These people at the very last moment suddenly exalted him to the status of a God in their hearts. It's not something that happens often. A drop of tear slips from his eyes, silently dropping down to the floor."Lucien shed a tear," Declan gasps. The last time he saw Lucien shed a tear was when the young man Ares, told him about his parent's demise. Lucien hardly cries!He looks at the Douglases and says deeply, "You guys are damn lucky! You made Lucien shed a tear. Consider yourselves family from now on! Lucien would protect you all as a lion would his cub, as a father would his child, as a human being would his pupils, and as a God would his creatures!""Thank you, Mr. Wood! Thank you, Master!" The Douglases exclaim, so delig
All her life, Ava has always dreamed to live with and in power. It's not wrong to say she orchestrated everything. Yes, Hugo and Joseph used to be close brothers who were always there for each other. In the past, people who had no idea of their identity often mistook them for twins. This is because they wore identical clothes, went everywhere together, pursued the same type of girls, ate together, often bathed together, and were never seen apart.Even when Joseph became the helmsman, he never abandoned Hugo for one day, he always took him along and often asked for his advice before he made certain decisions for the family. It is safe to say that both of them ruled the family together without anyone knowing.But things began changing the moment Ava came into Hugo's life. She started planting evil seeds in him. Especially, when she found out that he and Joseph actually ruled the family together. At nights, when they were about sleep after lovemaking, she would begin telling him how goo
Brianna's face darkens. "Don't even think about it!" She snaps at Nikki, covers the remaining space between her and Declan, and takes his hand into hers. "He is mine! Go get yours!""I am yours?" Declan raises a brow at her. "Since when did I become yours?!""Ah, Mr. Declan, shouldn't you be happy?!" Helen eyes him up and down. "A few minutes ago, when you attacked Mr. Douglas, you had said he dared touch your woman. Just now, you were also apologizing to Ms. Brianna. From the look of things, you like her! Shouldn't you be happy she is accepting you?!""Uhm," Declan scratches his hair. That really happened. He definitely can't deny it."You really said I'm yours?" Brianna looks into his eyes and asks."I-" Declan nibbles on his lower lip. He actually said that to high his vigor so he would be able to attack Hugo. It's not like Brianna is actually his woman. They only had sex so how can she be his woman? He clearly lied!"I get it. You don't know what we are. But tell me, do you like m
"He has us in mind! See, he planned to pledge allegiance to Mr. Wood once he became the helmsman so he will lead the family to greater heights. He is just like his father. Selfless and always searching for every opportunity to move the family higher."A pity we listened to Hugo and Ava and killed him off with that accident. We even killed his baby mama. He was going to marry her that day and make her a real Douglas, therefore making Ryan a legitimate child! But we-" one of the elders, out of excitement, unconsciously blurts things he shouldn't have.By the time he regains himself and tries to shut his mouth, it's already too late! He had already dropped the bomb!"What?!" From the other end, Ryan who is still on the line, roars and jerks up, scaring the brunettes before him.He had always thought there was something off about the story of his parent's death Hugo told him when he was little. So he didn't think wrong all this time! His instincts never lied! Indeed, there is something of
