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
Jack can tell that something dreadful must have happened to get his expert assassin this emotional. For a man in his forties who has worked for him for as long as ten years or more, this is the first time he is seeing tears in the expert's eyes. The first time he is watching the expert cry. The sight pricks his eyes.When the spouse of the expert died years ago, Jack is so certain he didn't see a single tear in his eyes– like, the man never cried even when he was called out to give her his farewell speech on her send off but right now this same strong burly man who has never shed a tear for over ten years is crying aggrievedly before him.The expert's lack of tears during his wife's death and send-off can't be accounted for as a lack of love because everyone knows he loved his wife. Still do. It was there for all to see.Perhaps he never cried because his wall wasn't precisely pushed and his ego wasn't trampled upon the way Lucien just did.Jack can't help but wonder what this his exp
"Why shouldn't I?" Jack narrows his eyes at him. "Have you forgotten that the first day you met me, you almost peed in your pants too?""It's nothing like the day I met you, Jack. It's nothing like the day you claimed ownership of me. This is different. Way different.""Different in what way, Richard?" Jack laughs, the tension on his face easing slightly.Each time he remembers the day he claimed ownership of Richard Anderson, it makes him laugh so much that tears start dribbling down his cheeks. It is a memory he can't seem to forget, doesn't think he will.Richard bows his head knowing why Jack is laughing at him. It is a memory that always gets him embarrassed and sad each time he remembers it, a memory that sometimes makes him feel like a fool and not man enough just like Lucien's action is already and will forever make him feel. "The aura I felt around Lucien is an aura of a high martial arts expert Jack. He is nothing like the fighters you've ever experienced before. If I didn't
On the ride to Royal Glistening Hospital, the pot-bellied cab driver couldn't keep his thoughts and gazes at bay. He kept stealing glances at Lucien through the rearview mirror and his thoughts wandered back to the scene he had seen before they took off. Throughout the ride, it felt like a dream to him. But then he knew it wasn't a dream because he kept pinching himself so many times just to confirm if he will suddenly wake up but nothing happened.That was enough to prove to him that all he saw were indeed real and it made him realize he underestimated the young man back then.When he ran away that time, he did because he thought it would be a matter of minutes before Lucien dropped dead, and then the assassins might want to add poor him to their killing list simply because he chose to drive the young man to his destination. He couldn't risk that.But never did he expect that the young man he fled from, believing he would soon be a corpse would be the same person to flag him down ag
The cab driver staggers and is almost about to fall when a strong arm grips him firmly on the waist and steadies him. Just a little shove of a tiny bit of Lucien's finger had such an impact on him! His eyes are almost falling out of their sockets because he knows he is more than 150kilos yet such a little tip of the finger push had him on the verge of falling if not for his savior who saved him at the dying minute. "Lucien!" A young female suddenly clamors so excitedly, her young figure rushing into his arms as if they are where her body should always be. Lucien smiles not a bit surprised that he is receiving such a hug from her and hugs her back, wrapping his arms around her slender body. A hug from her is something he has never received in the past so he tends to accept it willingly and with an open heart each time it happens now because even though she has started hugging him it doesn't happen every time. Only on rare occasions. The first time was when her parents were taken b
Lucien's statement is like a stinging slap to the pot-bellied cab driver's face.He can remember so well that those words were his and now hearing Lucien use them against him is making him chew on his lower lip in regret."How dare you insult Lucien? You better apologize to him right now before I make you lose the right to ever again!" While the cab driver is still reminiscing in self regret a cold voice barks furiously and two deep pairs of blue eyes glare at him with killing intent!Declan has always been known as one who would never sit back and watch anyone insult Lucien! But that isn't just where it ends; he also doesn't even want to hear that it happened!Hearing Lucien reveal what the uncultured cab driver said to him causes him to clench and unclench his fist! Lucien is his God and also the Invincible and unfathomable God of War!He respects and admires him so much. And will gladly give his life for him if the need ever arises and yet be grateful that he did because it will be
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
