Mr. Norman and Aston, who are standing right in front of him, gasp in horror and turn as pale as a sheet when their eyes are drawn to the obvious palm print on the table.They stagger backward, swallowing spittle lumps. As they look up to stare at Lucien, who is still as calm as ever, their hearts skip a beat and they immediately look away."Call the guards! Let them report here now!" Mr. Norman screams at the top of his lungs, looking as if he had just seen a ghost.Lucien sneers. "If there is still a competent guard outside, I must have missed him because the ones I saw on my way here each had lost one of their hands and legs. So, who are you requesting for?"Mr. Norman chuckles and rolls his eyes despite the fact that he is scared out of his wits. "You're such a haughty punk who loves throwing his weight around! So you want to tell me that you alone defeated more than a hundred of my men in just a few minutes?""In less than a second," Lucien corrects him with a smile. "They're jus
"You have no right to lay your filthy hands on my grandson! You're going way overboard punk! I am Norman Baskerville the helmsman of the Villes and with the snap of my finger, I can crush you! You will not dare to provoke me!" Mr. Norman who just recovered from the shock of seeing Lucien vanish from his seat screams through gritted teeth, attempting to be bold.But what he doesn't realize is that Lucien can sense his fear. For a man with sharp senses like his, he can sense the emotions of everyone in the room. Some are excited, some are curious, some are sad, some are terrified, and the last are those who have no feelings and have no desire to be where they are. Perhaps they are present because others are, and no one can defy the orders of the helmsman.He shrugs their feelings away as that is not his problem now, turns back to stare at Aston who is almost losing his sanity and lets out a dry chuckle. "Even though you hit my soon-to-be inlaws until they became unconscious, I wanted
Mr. Norman shivers and takes unintentionally backward steps. But when he realizes he's just been intimidated by a mere Lucien, he grits his teeth and flushes in embarrassment.It takes him a while to get over his fear, and just to prove to Lucien that he is in control, he slowly slips his hand into his pocket to pull out his phone, but before he can, Lucien suddenly vanishes, and the next second the terrifying screams of Aston fill the air.Mr. Norman turns pale at the terrifying scream of his grandson and looks up to see Lucien's foot on Aston's head."So Norman, I just broke one of your grandson's wrists joints. As a result, he is currently a one-handed man. I hope you love the feeling of having a one-handed man become the next helmsman of your people once you retire because you caused it all with your stubbornness. Meanwhile, what are you waiting for? Go on and call for your men."By the time you are done Aston's head would have been crushed by my foot. Why do I feel you will love
"Jack Ville the grandson of Norma Baskerville the twin brother of Norman Baskerville.""Norma's grandson?""How could that be?""How come we didn't know him?""And why is he only revealing his identity today?" The Villes once more begin murmuring among themselves as they stare intently at the burly man who they believe is claiming to be someone he isn't."What nonsense are you spouting? My twin brother never had a son! That is why I am comfortably the helmsman today! Better tell Lucien who you are before you add to our problems!" Mr. Norman screams glaring daggers at Jack. He had thought the man wanted to go beg Lucien for their sake only for him to begin lying. What nonsense! He wants to pounce on him but he restrains himself and decides to wait till Lucien leaves.For a moment, Jack glares at Mr. Norman with eyes full of fury before returning his gaze to Lucien with soft eyes. "Norma, my grandfather, never trusted his twin, no matter how much he pretended to. He had always known t
Back in the Villes Villa...As Lucien's figure disappears permanently from the Villes Villa Jack's gaze on Mr. Norman darkens and he sneers exuding a terrifying and murderous aura that makes his people shiver and take two steps backward. "Should I call you uncle or murderer?" He directs at Mr. Norman and shakes his head.Mr. Norman opens his mouth to talk but nothing comes out. What will he say?Indeed he had killed his twin because he felt threatened by how much everyone in the family and beyond loved and praised him.Norma was the one who was always mentioned by his father and mother at home, and outside. In every gathering, it was Norma, Norma, Norma. Even when they were gisting about normal things Norma was always mentioned. A day never passed without Norma being mentioned more than ten times.It was just as if no one knew if he existed at that time and it pained him immensely.But on the other hand, without his notice, he brought it all on himself! While his brother worked, went
If the ground can open right now Mr. Norman will gladly enter. He can't believe that the young man who he thought was a nobody will once again become the decider of his fate. Of course, he knows that the young man Lucien Wood will never spare him. He clearly stated it before he left. He suddenly regrets his actions and wishes he can turn the hands of time and do the opposite of all he did right from the moment that the young man Lucien Wood walked in. For the first time in his life, he is regretful of the life he has lived all these years. He wishes he can close his eyes and open them when he was still a young boy so that he can correct his ways and live a better life. But then again, wishes ain't horses and it has been clearly stated in the sands of time that those who kill by the sword shall also die by the sword. The thing is even if Lucien forgave him, he was still gonna have a death sentence because Jack would've still attacked. He lets out a long sigh at the thought and s
"Norman!" "Mr. Norman!" "Helmsman!" "Grandpa!" The Villes although so angry and full of hatred for Mr. Norman several minutes ago become devastated and grief-stricken that without having control over their emotions they get down on their knees and begin crying their hearts out. Blood they say is thicker than wine. Jack also is full of dread. He is well aware that he is the one who forced Mr. Norman to his tragic death and that everything that has transpired to this point is entirely his fault. Although he has always wanted to exact revenge, he doesn't feel pleased at all to see Mr. Norman die in such a horrifying manner. However, after giving it some thought, he realizes that if he had to start all over again, he would have still done the same thing. The reason for this is that even if he had decided to forgive Mr. Norman, he would still have died because Lucien Wood would not have let him off the hook just like that. But anyway, it's not like he would have forgiven him thoug
It doesn't take thirty minutes for what happened to the Villes to go viral.Every news outlet and joint has it on their front page and their lips.Not just are the people talking about the mysterious death of Norman, they are also talking about who the mysterious man that took over all the possessions of the Villes despite the fact that they have a helmsman is. The most trending questions are questions like; "can the man be related to the mysterious tycoon who appeared in the bidding war days ago?""Or is it possible that he is the one?""Also, what did the Villes do to deserve such treatment from him?"Unfortunately, all these are questions they don't have answers to because although others somehow happened to be leaked Jack made sure that no one will ever get to find out who their mysterious head is and what caused what they faced.However, people will always find a way to find out information. Somehow they manage to find out that the Villes had attacked the Pearsons and the next
