Seemingly thinking that the argument is getting so heated and that Lucien his dear soon-to-be son-in-law will get hurt by Charles who is already raging, Mr. Santiago scrambles to him and clamps his hands together in front of him with a pleading gaze on his face."Please spare the poor kid," he purrs and lowers his head. "He is only but a lad, what does he know? Please have mercy and spare him, don't deliberate on his arrogant behavior just now, please."Normally, Lucien knows he should be angry that Mr. Santiago went ahead to beg someone that can't hurt even a hair on his head! But to his surprise, his body is reacting differently and he is far from angry.In fact, he had always had just a little pinch of likeness for Santiago because just like the overbearing Avery, the man has been nothing but a pain in his ass. And he had been lenient with him because he is Juliet's dad. Apart from that, he would have long put the man in his place. However, he can't find it in himself to blame him a
The young man is bewildered by Brianna's response that he can't help but stare back at Charles Thompson for any divulgence as to why the small chick will mock him that way.Reason being that he isn't just any ordinary man and it's either Brianna is being nonchalant by acting like she doesn't know who he is or she is clearly trying to pass an information that Lucien isn't one he can afford to provoke.Seeing the look on his subordinate's face, Charles laughs and pats him on the shoulder. "How can there be any reason for you to doubt your strength? It's only unfortunate to them that they can't recognize you, that's why she can raise her voice and say such nonsense. Don't worry, I'll make them know who you are!" He turns to Lucien and the Pearsons and sneers evilly. "Since the Pearsons have gone blind after losing their properties and everything they owned, why not you do me the favor and allow me to open your eyes to the identity of the man before you? I know you all must have heard of
"By the way, don't think I want Juliet because she's anything. As far as Virginia is concerned, at the moment, she is nothing. Someone who has mingled with a punk like you definitely can't be anything anyway so no one gives a fuck about her beauty anymore. "To the people, she is just a cheap girl with no good taste in men so no one values her. Her pride as the most beautiful lady in Virginia died the moment she opened her shameless legs for a dirty punk like you. We expected more from her. We expected her to choose us."But due to her low taste, she chose an idiot like you. So pathetic. We despise her for that."She has only been valid all this time because she managed to make money but now she has nothing," he laughs and snorts coldly at Lucien with a mischievous grin on his face. "However, all that can be sorted out if only she can open her legs for me just as she did for you."After all, I'll be doing her a huge favor by entangling with someone as cheap and low as her. Also, I'll
Mr. Santiago wants to exclaim at Lucien for what he just said and make him realize that Duke is not one he can defeat but after hearing Charles Thompson's ferocious interest in his daughter, he is as mad as Lucien so how then will he stop him from doing whatever he wants to do? As a matter of fact, he can't wait to see the end of it all! And if Lucien can truly defeat Duke as he just said he would!He doesn't know how he began developing this trust in Lucien, all he knows is that he would have believed whoever saved him with his body and soul and now, Lucien happens to be that person so it is natural for him to find himself developing trust for him. And surprisingly, he feels so proud to have Lucien right now. It is like his family suddenly has an extraordinary pillar they can all lean on and even though he has so many questions, he can only shut them down and lean on the pillar before him for the time being."Punk, you're very gutsy!" Charles is dazed for a moment but soon starts la
"How is it possible? No, it can't be!" He murmurs while shaking his head and rubbing his eyes! "Perhaps I'm dreaming! Perhaps all this is just a hallucination! Yes, it must be!"How can Lucien, a mere punk, kill Duke?! Haha, I must be going crazy, I must be seeing unrealistic things, that's impossible," he is breathless as he keeps babbling, trying so hard to tell himself a lie! But why won't he?Duke was a combat expert he had been able to get to help him kill Lucien because somehow he managed to save Duke's life and since then Duke felt he was now indebted to him!If not for that, there is no how he would have been able to use him because not just had Duke achieved fame with his undefeatable strength, he also comes from a top-tier family just as Charles said. His family is not just a top-tier family but one of the three major families in East Highland Park!Duke is known by everyone for his strength and power! With his fists alone, he had already crushed the heads of countless people
How can he, Charles Thompson stand such an insult?!Now that he has his pistol in hand, he no longer fears anything.Even if Lucien and Declan are extraordinary fighters, there's no how they will be faster than a bullet.Lucien is really annoyed at this moment. His eyes are darkened and his jaw is clenched.Since Juliet and the rest of her family members are safe and sound, he initially intended to let Charles Thompson off with a light punishment. However, he didn't expect him to be so ignorant. Since he has a death wish, I won't be merciful to him!Lucien looks at the Bergmann-Bayard automatic pistol that Charles is holding, but isn't fazed by it at all. "Do you think you can shoot me with that tiny pistol?"Lucien's disdainful attitude infuriates Charles even more.He holds up the pistol and says in annoyance, "What are you pretending for?! I don't believe you can dodge a bullet! If you bring Juliet to me and do every other thing that I asked you to do, I will consider giving you a
After finally catching his breath, Charles slowly raises his head only to see that the pistol originally in his then hand has somehow ended up in the hand of Declan who is opposite him.At this moment, Declan is pointing the muzzle at him and threatening to pull the trigger.Charles is terrified to the point of turning pale and sweating profusely. His body stiffens, and he dares not move at all, fearing that he might upset Declan and cause him to pull the trigger and shoot him."Hah, weren't you very arrogant just now? Is that all the guts you have? And are you dumb now that you can't answer Lucien's question?" Declan sneers while looking at Charles disdainfully and touching the trigger more intensely as if he can't wait to shoot.Charles's face turns red, but he no longer wants to retort for the fear of his life. What can he even say? The men before him are too terrifying! Even the Douglas family, one of the major families in East Highland Park doesn't scare them, is it him a mere
As soon as the message sends, Lucien drops back his phone and takes out the little one. He scrolls through some numbers and as soon as he locates the one he is looking for, dials it.As if the owner of the number has been waiting for his call or maybe he is so afraid to allow Lucien's call to ring for even a second, it gets picked up immediately after he dialed it."Hello, master," the voice from the other end immediately sounds."Thought I told you to refrain from calling me that, Connor? The next time will be your last. By the way, a low family from East Highland Park offended me today. Do you know the major families from there?""Yes, Mr. Wood! I know almost all of the families over there because they are our partners. Since our company rose to the top many of such families have been partnering with us with their numerous companies and we've all been making benefits," Corbin Connor leisurely explains with a smile on his face, seemingly feeling proud of what he has achieved so far.
