"I thought we could do anything we wanted, kill anyone we wanted and take anything we desired. It wasn't all about helping Brooks, it was all about me trying to exact my dominance. It's all my fault. It is." Ryder can't stop sobbing, tears are rolling down his body in waves, and he can't stop shivering. He feels so heartbroken and regrets his actions. If only he had tried not to be like Brooks, if only he had a mind of his own; Jordan would have still been alive.The feeling of guilt is overwhelming him.Patricia sighs. "This is the worst thing you can do to yourself, Ryder. You made a mistake, so please forgive yourself. Keeping all of this in will eventually kill you. If Mr. Wood can forgive us, I believe you should forgive yourself as well. I forgive you. "Let's move on now. As Mr. Wood stated, this will serve as a lesson to all of us. Let's keep the past behind us. Right now, we have to right our wrongs and prove to him that good can come out of the Boden family.""My darling wi
IN THE SMITHS VILLA...It's been several hours since Dusk was sent out on a hunt for Lucien's head. The night has passed away and it's a new day.On a sofa, a few steps away from the dragon tree is Phil Smith, and standing beside him is Chad, his butler.Behind and several feet away from him are the rest of the Smiths and his powerhouses, all wearing frowns on their respective faces.Phil Smith doesn't look fine at all as he keeps rubbing his knuckles and sighing.His eyes are red and puffy and his face is crinkled.Throughout the night he didn't blink an eye as he had been waiting for Dusk. It's mid-afternoon now and yet there's still no sign of Dusk.Has he been killed? Did anything happen to him? He can't help but be bothered.The Dusk he knows never takes up to an hour to get a task done, what's going on?He suddenly stands and stamps his foot. "What the hell is going on, Chad? Where is Dusk? Where the fuck is he?!"Chad sighs and sucks his teeth. "I have no idea, master. I've tri
"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
