Mr. Bruce is unaware that the young man Brooks Miller is taking advantage of him.Even Ryder believes his buddy is attempting to assist him, but what he doesn't realize is that Brooks pushed them to attack Lucien only because he wants Lucien dead! Not because of anything else. As a matter of fact, he doesn't literally give a damn about Jordan's death!He is doing all that for his own selfish reasons.Lucien will be coming to attack him tomorrow. For the first time in his life, he is so worried and terrified so what better way to gain the Bodens' cooperation to help him stop the coming of Lucien than to use Jordan's unexpected death to convince them that he is the murderer?He felt once he was able to convince Mr. Bruce to take action against Lucien in the pretense of helping him seek revenge then all his worry will end and that he did. He practically pushed Mr. Bruce to send his strongest experts to guarantee success.And Mr. Bruce who was blinded by revenge couldn't read meaning int
The other experts turn ashen, and their faces and fingers begin to tremble incessantly. Asher was one of the most powerful experts of the Bodens and the strongest among them. He had made countless achievements for the Bodens and sent so many souls to death yet he was killed by Lucien with one punch and died right on the spot! They couldn't believe it at all! It is something they never expected to happen! Never! If it isn't because Asher's corpse is lying on the ground before them and his blood is slowly flowing out, they would have thought what they saw just now was an illusion. The entire street is dead silent. Like, the once busy street is now more like a morgue! The people saw what happened, and it is still to them like a movie. They keep looking at the scene in front of them, utterly dumbfounded. Although they can't tell how terrifying Asher's strength is, they know from his looks and power-packed punch that he must have been an extremely powerful expert of a top-tier family
"Yo..." The expert is wide-eyed as he attempts to speak but can only get out those two words before his right to speak is revoked.With a loud thud, he drops to the ground and slips into forever darkness!His eyes are still wide open, but he is no longer breathing. The sly expert died by merely getting hit by a tiny object flipped leisurely by Lucien!If he had known beforehand that Lucien would kill him even after he revealed who he worked for, he would never have believed it, and as a result, even in death, he couldn't believe it! His wide eyes are filled with confusion and so many unanswered questions, but he would never get the chance to satisfy his confusion and would forever be in the dark. For an expert, he died such a disgraceful death!The people are once again taken aback by Lucien's actions. But they can't figure out how the expert died this time and if what they saw happen was really the cause of his death.They only know that Lucien flipped his fingers and a tiny object
Lucien wasn't loud as he said those words and his tone was calm too. But his voice resounded in everyone's ears clearly. In fact, it was more shocking and unnerving than Asher's roar before he attacked Lucien and got himself killed then. The air around Lucien is so condensed and he holds his head so high. His posture and voice are that of a God! It makes the people shiver and stare away from him as none can keep up their gaze on him. The way he could still be calm while the words that come out of his mouth are like daggers piercing through their hearts sweeps them off their feet. It makes their hearts fly into their bellies and often makes it hard for them to breathe each time it happens. So terrifying! "What did you just say? Are you trying to say you are superior to all our helmsmen joined together? Hmph! You are so arrogant punk! How dare you insult us? Do you know who we are?" "Yes! You are just a damn pauper with nothing to your name! A mere live-in lover of the Pearsons like
Indeed, Lucien's recent statement is entirely accurate. If he was just a frail young man, he would have died by now and none of them would have thought of having mercy on him, let alone sending him off. They would have slaughtered him in cold blood without giving a damn about anything else.The assassin is well aware of this. It is nothing but facts.He may not know much about the young man towering over him like a mountain lion, but one thing he has discovered about Lucien after only a few minutes with him is that he does not lie and has a keen sense of reasoning, action, and so much more. It is nothing to deny. The young man didn't lie.He knows they would have killed him if he wasn't this tough nut he suddenly turned out to be. Once given a mission, they never hesitate.Asher's punch alone if it had landed on Lucien would have killed him if it isn't that Lucien is far superior to him. This is the first mission they've ever failed. And one they will never forget. That's if the two d
He hiddenly takes a look at Lucien and nods as if he just confirmed all his thoughts with that one stare. He is the one master sent us to kill. He is the killer of Jordan. I'm not wrong. He must be lying by saying he doesn't remember having a fuss with anyone.The assassin wants to ask Lucien a thousand and one questions after several minutes of thinking and coming up with the same thing over and over again but remembering he is nothing but a weak prey in front of Lucien, he can only clear his throat and begin talking.He tells Lucien about how two young men Brooks Miller and Ryder brought home Jordan's corpse earlier today and how that got the Bodens enranged."Brooks? Ryder? Bodens?" Lucien narrows his eyes at him as he asks."Ryder is best friends with Brooks and Jordan's cousin brother. Jordan and Ryder are from the Boden family, one of the top-tier families in Forest Hills. The Boden family can be said to be the second major family right now in Forest Hills. You can imagine how a
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
