The other experts turn ashen, and their faces and fingers begin to tremble incessantly. Asher was one of the most powerful experts of the Bodens and the strongest among them. He had made countless achievements for the Bodens and sent so many souls to death yet he was killed by Lucien with one punch and died right on the spot! They couldn't believe it at all! It is something they never expected to happen! Never! If it isn't because Asher's corpse is lying on the ground before them and his blood is slowly flowing out, they would have thought what they saw just now was an illusion. The entire street is dead silent. Like, the once busy street is now more like a morgue! The people saw what happened, and it is still to them like a movie. They keep looking at the scene in front of them, utterly dumbfounded. Although they can't tell how terrifying Asher's strength is, they know from his looks and power-packed punch that he must have been an extremely powerful expert of a top-tier family
"Yo..." The expert is wide-eyed as he attempts to speak but can only get out those two words before his right to speak is revoked.With a loud thud, he drops to the ground and slips into forever darkness!His eyes are still wide open, but he is no longer breathing. The sly expert died by merely getting hit by a tiny object flipped leisurely by Lucien!If he had known beforehand that Lucien would kill him even after he revealed who he worked for, he would never have believed it, and as a result, even in death, he couldn't believe it! His wide eyes are filled with confusion and so many unanswered questions, but he would never get the chance to satisfy his confusion and would forever be in the dark. For an expert, he died such a disgraceful death!The people are once again taken aback by Lucien's actions. But they can't figure out how the expert died this time and if what they saw happen was really the cause of his death.They only know that Lucien flipped his fingers and a tiny object
Lucien wasn't loud as he said those words and his tone was calm too. But his voice resounded in everyone's ears clearly. In fact, it was more shocking and unnerving than Asher's roar before he attacked Lucien and got himself killed then. The air around Lucien is so condensed and he holds his head so high. His posture and voice are that of a God! It makes the people shiver and stare away from him as none can keep up their gaze on him. The way he could still be calm while the words that come out of his mouth are like daggers piercing through their hearts sweeps them off their feet. It makes their hearts fly into their bellies and often makes it hard for them to breathe each time it happens. So terrifying! "What did you just say? Are you trying to say you are superior to all our helmsmen joined together? Hmph! You are so arrogant punk! How dare you insult us? Do you know who we are?" "Yes! You are just a damn pauper with nothing to your name! A mere live-in lover of the Pearsons like
Indeed, Lucien's recent statement is entirely accurate. If he was just a frail young man, he would have died by now and none of them would have thought of having mercy on him, let alone sending him off. They would have slaughtered him in cold blood without giving a damn about anything else.The assassin is well aware of this. It is nothing but facts.He may not know much about the young man towering over him like a mountain lion, but one thing he has discovered about Lucien after only a few minutes with him is that he does not lie and has a keen sense of reasoning, action, and so much more. It is nothing to deny. The young man didn't lie.He knows they would have killed him if he wasn't this tough nut he suddenly turned out to be. Once given a mission, they never hesitate.Asher's punch alone if it had landed on Lucien would have killed him if it isn't that Lucien is far superior to him. This is the first mission they've ever failed. And one they will never forget. That's if the two d
He hiddenly takes a look at Lucien and nods as if he just confirmed all his thoughts with that one stare. He is the one master sent us to kill. He is the killer of Jordan. I'm not wrong. He must be lying by saying he doesn't remember having a fuss with anyone.The assassin wants to ask Lucien a thousand and one questions after several minutes of thinking and coming up with the same thing over and over again but remembering he is nothing but a weak prey in front of Lucien, he can only clear his throat and begin talking.He tells Lucien about how two young men Brooks Miller and Ryder brought home Jordan's corpse earlier today and how that got the Bodens enranged."Brooks? Ryder? Bodens?" Lucien narrows his eyes at him as he asks."Ryder is best friends with Brooks and Jordan's cousin brother. Jordan and Ryder are from the Boden family, one of the top-tier families in Forest Hills. The Boden family can be said to be the second major family right now in Forest Hills. You can imagine how a
The expert makes no effort at all to hide the anxiousness in his voice as he says those words aloud. At how loud he spoke, it would be hard for anyone amongst the people to claim that they didn't hear what he just said.However, despite the fact that they can see a tiny object, both the assassin holding the object and the people find it difficult to believe that such a tiny thing can achieve such a feat.If anything, they had assumed that whatever Lucien used to kill the second assassin was a strong object like iron, but now not only is the mysterious object a mere button, but it also did not break! How can something as delicate as a mere cloth button bore a hole through a man's forehead down to his skull and not break? Like how? How did it get to bore the hole in the first place? Even magic cannot accomplish such a feat!Their bodies are trembling as a result of the shock of this sudden realization. Every second, minute, hour, and day, they just find Lucien doing more and more extra
It takes Lucien's departure with the cab for the assassin to regain himself. After Lucien's statement, he immediately examined Asher's shirt without a single doubt that Lucien's statement might not be true and his heart skipped a beat when he noticed not only the other identical buttons on it but also the spot the button in his hand was pulled out from.Nevertheless, that alone wasn't what made him exceedingly surprised, he was that surprised because if not that as an assassin of his level he has a great sight, he wouldn't have known that a button was taken away from that spot. It took him to look closely enough before he could see it. It was at that point that he realized Lucien is truly extraordinary and someone who possesses powers he has never seen in anyone else.As he glances back at the spot after regaining his composure, he doubts that anyone inferior to him can be able to notice that anything is missing because the button was properly removed to the point where the open spa
Scarlet might think she is the only one worried and hoping for good news but she is only the most concerned, not the only one. Jack who is being pleasured by her isn't actually feeling anything. He is only pretending to so she won't notice how tense he is. His body is there with her but his soul is elsewhere, thinking about what is still keeping his men. They've never stayed this long to complete a mission before, and it's bothering him because there have always been two things that can keep assassins at the location of their target for so long; it's either they didn't find him or her at the planned location and are trying to track him or her back down or the target is stronger than them and has defeated them. He shakes his head not wanting to believe the latter because he doesn't think there is anyone in the whole of Virginia stronger than his men. His men are great experts to him because he paid a hundred thousand dollars for them! But would he still think highly of these men h
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
