The eyes of the people contract as they turn to see Mr. Ethan rushing towards Lucien like a thief being pursued by cops. Mr. Ethan, the wealthiest man in Richmond who is feared by all is running towards a low life! Is this something that regularly happens?They are so taken aback that they don't know where to begin. First and foremost, the pauper was not blowing his trumpet. He indeed called Mr. Ethan Bryson! And the most surprising part, he did it with such a commanding tone that none of them as rich folks can ever dare address him with! That's if they can even get to talk with him!Second, Mr. Ethan arrived a split second before the clock struck two minutes.Everyone can tell from his hurried breathing, sweaty face, and clothes that he must have rushed to meet up! And guess what? He drove himself with no guards whatsoever!Is that how terrified he is of Lucien? Does that mean he can't afford to provoke Lucien? They are so perplexed!Come to think of it, he also apologized to Lucie
Tyler snorts coldly and incredulously asks. "What deal? When did we make such a deal?" He turns to the people and gazes coldly at them before asking. "Did any of you hear anything like that?"The people shudder at his gaze. To onlookers, it might seem like Tyler is only asking a neutral question but only those staring at him right now can tell that his gaze means "talk and see if I won't kill you!"The people can only lower their heads without speaking a word. If he is who he claims to be, they can't afford to provoke him.Lucien sneers. Although he doesn't know the expression on Tyler's face as Tyler is currently backing him, he can read from the expressions on the people's faces that he is threatening them. Hah, he laughs heartily. Crazy scheming old fool! At his age, he never gets tired of coming up with derisive means to oppress people."Bravo, old cargo, you're so clever, aren't you? But let me ask you, what do you think of me? Do you think I'm stupid?"He glances at Declan. "Pla
Declan chuckles. "You are already giving up? Weren't you arrogant just now? Well, you should know that not only the people here have the video clip! Everyone all over Virginia has it as well! As a matter of fact, if you still refuse to fulfill your part of the deal, I'll have the video forwarded to everyone in the world! If you think I'm bluffing, you can try me! By the way, you were meant to bow, not fall! Hahaha!""My brother. It's my brother," suddenly, Mr. Ethan lets out a heartfelt cry.Everyone looks up at him to see tears dripping down his cheeks. "My brother is still alive! My brother is still alive!" He exclaims and rushes over to Tyler, who is lying on the floor. He pulls him into him and starts crying on his chest. He is so aggrieved that he doesn't care about his status or the large number of people present.When he first heard Tyler's familiar voice, he thought it was all in his head. As he turned to look at him, he also thought it was all in his head. Only after watching
"You!" Mr. Ethan, utterly agitated, points at Tyler through gritted teeth, his veins throbbing.All his life, he has shown Tyler nothing but love. When he won Tyler years ago to become the helmsman of the Brysons, he made Tyler an offer to rule alongside him with so many benefits attached. But Tyler outrightly rejected him. He has lived with that guilt all this time thinking that his winning must have hurt Tyler so badly that Tyler didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore. Now, he knows why he did. That's because he planned to kill him! His eyes are bloodshot and he is suddenly exuding a murderous aura. He so much feels the intent to kill Tyler! At least, he would be dying for real this time!"In case you are thinking of rushing to kill me now that you know the truth, I'll be plain with you, you better forget it or you will be the one regretting it in the end. As we speak right now, My boys are scattered throughout the Brysons family Villa, hidden and ready. If you as much
Lucien glances subtly at Judy and shrugs off, seemingly not surprised that she could do such a thing. "I expected nothing less from her. Her character and appearance are enough to show anyone the kind of person she is. Moreover, for a man who owns this Galaxy, what could she have possibly offered him? Giving him money would have been waste of time. She gave him what a shameless lady like her can ever give."I won't be surprised if that is also what she offered the young dog to get him to do her bidding. Don't be surprised if she willingly offers you that. It's in her blood. As for the old dog, I've known him to be irresponsible since he walked up to me. I'm not in any way surprised that he could stoop so low.""Mind your tone!" Tyler hollers. "I'm your elder! I have kids your age!""An irresponsible and shameless elder like you can never be my elder! Your vile character stinks so badly! I'm wondering if you train up your so-called kids with this shameless character! Staring at you, I c
Lucien shrugs off. Why should he drag with this old dummy over a trivial matter? Just now, he had dashed into the Galaxy and killed every damn guard rushing over to kill him except the one he came out with. These were mere security guards, killing them was just a piece of cake. Even if they were elite fighters, what could they have possibly done to him? Weaklings like that even if they are a thousand are nothing to him!He is already used to the arrogance of these rich folks. They always think the world revolves around them. Delusional assholes.He casually flings the half-dead burly man, sending him several meters away, and begins prowling toward Tyler, his eyes darkening with each step he takes making him look so much like a ripper ready to rip Tyler's soul."Keep your distance! I said keep your distance!" Tyler yells hysterically and makes to stand but before he can, a powerful foot suddenly presses hard on his head, pushing him face-flat to the ground and making him lick sand. "H
Is this the soft-hearted girl? What just happened? Tyler is taken aback. It's as if she suddenly morphed into someone else.But what he doesn't know is that Juliet only evolved. Lucien has just given her back the courage to speak out what she has in her mind! For so many days now that confidence has been lost but with Lucien by her side, she is slowly regaining it!"Yes, that's my sis!" Brianna giggles.Tyler is agitated. He has already stooped so low to apologize to Juliet, how can he apologize to Brianna too? They're really stepping on his ego! How daring of them!"The more time you waste, old dummy, the faster you are to losing another hand. Mi amor has given you a directive; do it immediately or, as she has stated, forget about your left hand!"Lucien is so pleased. Yes, that is his Juliet. It seems she is finally coming back from her emotional break. He is so loving it!Tyler's expression turns cold and frightening as he glares from Juliet to Lucien. "I've apologized to your love
Mr. Ethan immediately panics, breaking out in a cold sweat. No matter what, Tyler is still his brother. His blood. No matter how strenuous their relationship is, that can never be changed. How then can he stand by and watch him be assassinated?"Please let him off, Mr. Wood," he begs, falling to his knees and clutching Lucien's foot. "He is still my brother after all. Please do not murder him. For my sake please."Lucien doesn't respond. He doesn't even look down at Mr. Ethan or pretend to be the person he just spoke to; instead, he pulls out his phone, casually pushes Mr. Ethan's hand away from his foot, sits on one of Elliot's henchmen, and starts playing chess.Mr. Ethan grits his teeth and sighs exasperatedly. He crawls over to Lucien and grabs his foot once more. "Mr. Wood, please. I'm pleading with you. Declan is getting close to him. Please let him off. Please."Lucien remains deafeningly silent, focusing on the game he is playing.This gets Mr. Ethan agitated. Lucien's silence
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
