This burly figure is as tall as a tower, towering over Lucien by a considerable distance.He is not only extremely tall but also muscular. The floored ground trembles slightly as he lands in front of Lucien. In movies, he appears to be a giant. So tall and intimidating. In his eyes, Lucien is a piece of shit. An ant he can't wait to crush! If the word 'terrifying' has a physical appearance, the burly man qualifies to be used.Thick scars run from his open chest down to the closed part of his body. He wears a top making it hard to note how far the scar runs. His fists and teeth are clenched.He doesn't appear to be in the mood for a debate. He must be in to kill!He raises his foot and stamps it on the floored ground. With great force, the granite shatters and the ground sinks! A single stamp of his leg bores a hole large enough to take in a full head!Of course, he'd done it all to demonstrate his strength and intimidate Lucien and Declan in front of him. But Lucien, on the other ha
"Master, Master, Master! I'll forever serve you! Please forgive me for being a doubting Thomas a few moments ago! I'll never doubt your martial prowess ever again!" He cries out, apparently thinking Lucien is upset with him because he underestimated his abilities just now.But Lucien has already forgotten whatever it was that he did. He is already used to such statements and thoughts.Since he came back to Richmond, VA, people never seem to stop thinking he is a mere pushover. And he doesn't intend to let them stop thinking that! He only plans to conquer those who dare provoke him and exert his dominance!He had indeed been irritated that Jack could say such things to him. But then he also remembered that Jack couldn't be blamed for his behavior. After all, a fighter respects only those he believes to be stronger than him.Furthermore, Jack has not seen him fight before. It was ok for him to think as he did.As a result, he didn't take his words seriously at all. He doesn't spare him
Declan sneers and laughs. "Lucien doesn't seem to mind. They can keep whoever they think Lucien is as long as he maintains his dominance! After all, if everyone knows who he is, what will be used for entertainment? And who will want to go up against him? At the very least, his known identity attracts people like Dusk, who eventually die!""Wow," Jack exclaims. He'd like to question Lucien. He's curious about his true identity. But something in him holds him back, and all he can do is smile and nod."You overlooked my question, Jack. Do you know who Phil Smith is? You sounded as if you did.""I sincerely apologize, Mr. Wood!" He clears his throat and smiles nervously. "Phil Smith is the current helmsman of the Smiths family, a middle-class family living on the outskirts of Richmond. They are not widely known. But are, however, still growing. And I've heard they are aiming at partnering with Shadow Worldwide Company! If they do, I'm sure they'll reach new heights!"Shadow Worldwide Comp
Jack is agitated and his heart is thumping wildly in his chest. In a fit of rage, he clenches his teeth and kicks the car, causing a minor dent to appear on it! "Shut up! Do you want to get me killed?!" He runs his hand through his hair and exhales heavily. "Mr. Wood is not someone you should provoke! If you dare to provoke him, I'll have your head severed and fed to the fowls of the air!""What are you saying, Jack?" The young man scoffs unbelievably. "Lucien Wood is a pauper! A mere fucking pauper! He has nothing to his name and has to rely on Juliet for a living! He's a disgrace to manhood, so how come he's suddenly someone I can't afford to provoke? I'm certain he's bewitched you!""Do you want to perish? If you do, I swear I'll kill you right now! I won't warn you again! You better be respectful to him because if you dare put me in danger, you will die before I do!"The young man shudders as he realizes Jack is dead serious! If that isn't enough, he can detect his fear. But how ex
Lucien can swear he predicted they'd have problems. He refers to the Pearsons when he says "they." That's why he made sure Declan followed them. As long as Declan is there, he believes they are in safe hands. And they are.But this isn't what he was expecting. When he thought of them having problems, he imagined something more. Perhaps, more alarming.He can't help but laugh as he looks down at the message, even though it's not meant to be funny. Really? He shakes his head.It's unbelievable. The Pearsons have been locked out of their mansion by Santiago's family, who claim ownership of everything. And as it stands now, Declan is at a loss as to what to do, whether to break through the gate or take them elsewhere because the family left a letter on the wall warning them that if they try to enter, they will die because they will push down the mansion regardless of whether they are inside or not.That's why he texted him first before acting."Hmph! The Pearsons are really domineering!"
The ride back to the Pearsons' mansion is quick and smooth.Lucien had urged the young man to floor his pedal and drive as fast as he could. And he certainly did, as they are currently pulling over in front of the mansion.Juliet and Brianna's eyes light up as soon as Lucien steps out of the car and they hurry to him.Their expressions are strained and glum. He is certain they would have started crying if he had not arrived when he did.When he arrived, they were sitting on the floor, reluctantly drawing imaginary lines on the floor. Perhaps to pass time while waiting for him. Their faces ain't that glum anymore as they are now staring at him as if he is their savior. Brianna, in particular, who knows what Lucien is capable of."Please help us," Brianna tugs him on the hem of his shirt and lowers her head.Juliet looks up at him at the same time and pouts her lips before saying. "Can you help us, Lucien? Do you have the capability?"Lucien smiles at her cute pouted lips and puts his ha
Lucien's words were raw and explicit! It sounded so like he was directly speaking to Ellison when he spoke."Who are you speaking to? Is there anyone behind the flower?" Mr. Santiago, who is perplexed as to why Lucien spoke while looking at that spot asks and tilts his head disconcertingly."I just spoke, Santiago. You have no reason to be concerned or inquisitive. You can go in now."Mr. Santiago wants to ask more questions. He is certain Lucien must have been looking at something or perhaps someone when he spoke. He doesn't believe he just spoke. The young man's extraordinary skills can't be underestimated! But he, however, obliges to his statement.But who or what did Lucien see? As he walks through the gate, that is the only thought on his mind."What about the letter? Will we be safe?" As Brianna comes before Lucien, she can't help but ask. She is damn scared of dying! Having been close to death a few hours ago, she seems to be more conscious of herself and every other thing now.
"It's been a long time since I kicked some asses. I can hardly wait, Lucien!" Declan grins and strokes his knuckles."Just a few more hours and you'll have a plethora of butts to kick. Juliet, if I'm not mistaken, will be waiting for me so I have to meet her now. You can stay in my room downstairs, and I'll meet her in hers."Declan's cheeks flush and he averts his gaze. "Lucien!" He sulks.Lucien bursts out laughing. He certainly understands why Declan is the way he is. Dude has no woman to go in to. It must be difficult. "You'll find your match soon. By the way, get someone to repair that gate by dawn." He pats him on the shoulder and walks in.★In an incredibly vast estate near the south of DC...In the middle of the tallest and most luxurious villa, a middle-aged man in his fifties is standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows on the fifth floor, gazing at the distant sky.The middle-aged man is tall, with a height of about 1.9 meters and he has handsome facial featu
