Justin's expression was so tense inside the moving car that it made everyone else uncomfortable. The pressure was palpable, making even breathing difficult."My brother also said to keep him alive and make him our servant," Justin said while on a call with someone, his face as hard as stone. Glancing out the window, he noticed they were passing through a tree-lined road. "I don't understand your logic."Today, he had to meet Margo alone since his brother was elsewhere. "It’s better to get rid of Margo, Austin."Sitting in an aeroplane with his back against the chair, Austin remained calm. "You don't understand that we can use him as bait. The Carter family will likely be occupied with Margo, and then we can infiltrate their home. Haven’t you noticed how different he is now compared to before?"Justin remained silent for a moment. Though their faces resembled each other, something about Lucas Carter seemed different. He had heard rumours that the head of the Carter family had been ill.
“Well, the Tracy family who had a conflict with this family a year ago can't seem to get over it.” he stared calmly while peeling the red apple in his hand. “They are annoying.”He cut the apple whose skin was all peeled off. “But don't worry, I'll deal with them quickly, Louis.” he stopped chewing, watching her twin brother with eyes that looked so weak.He exhaled. His brother didn't even respond to what he said, but he continued doing things like that. Perhaps in his heart, he hoped Louis would take him at his word. It would be an extraordinary miracle for that man to wake up and do many things right now.Brain dead.That was the reality that Lucas was facing. The man who was lying down was not going to wake up at all; he was just waiting quietly for the time of his death, and that was why Lucas could not make the time of this man's death so bad.His heart didn't feel too good about this, so he shut up and left the room. He had already told the man who did not respond what he knew.
"Is everything alright?" Lora, who was eating in front of him, finally asked while he watched her uneasily.The situation is bad, and the attack that happened to them is something he doesn't like. Lucas is the one who faces those dangerous people. She remembers very well that just facing them was a very scary thing. Surely, what Lucas faced was more than what he faced.Lucas seems to realize what is happening in Lora's mind, looking uncomfortable talking to her. Lora continued to stay home after the attack, and the Carter family continued to guard her.Their lunch at this time was also done at Felix's family home. Lucas didn't want Lora to be in danger at all."I'm fine. Now we know who is the mastermind of all those attacks." Lucas put a piece of meat in his mouth. He chewed very calmly while making others curious about what he said earlier.Lora couldn't continue her meal. She continued to watch Carter, hoping the man would better explain what she had said earlier. Lucas swallowed t
Austin looked at his sister with cold eyes. Justin had difficulty reacting to his brother. Now tried to calm himself down, rubbing the nape of his neck gently. "What's wrong? It's not my fault to trust Margo. I told you to just finish him off immediately.""Margo is the guy you introduced. But this failure makes us have to act immediately." Austin exhaled.Even though they have tried very hard, there are problems that they get. It wasn't a big deal for now. But Austin didn't want his enemies to stay in this world for too long."I've anticipated this. The other teams will move soon." He often heard talk of the Carter family being very ominous even abroad.Every time she heard people talk about the surname, but made her entire skin heat up and made her imagine immediately holding the damn man's head.Meanwhile, Justin, who heard his brother's words, immediately sat up straight and looked at his brother with wide eyes. "When? You didn't talk about it to me at all.""I was deliberate. I
The frown on Austin's face showed that he was currently deep in thought, looking for a way to escape from this place. He had thought of returning to the carriage that had previously brought them from the main castle to this place to escape.Austin even considered finding another path in the middle of the road, but no matter what, the important thing was to escape from Carter's army first.His hands tightened firmly at his sides. He couldn't escape. The only way they could escape was to go through that long passage to get out and use another vehicle. But they would first have to dive with scuba gear to get there. This was too dangerous for Justin, who was already injured."There's no other choice," Austin muttered under his breath, glancing at Justin, who grimaced in pain beside him. "Justin, get back in the cart."Justin nodded his head, obeying his brother's words. With limited steps, they walked backward, stepping to get back into the train. But before they could get in, the train s
Lucas drummed his fingers on the table as he sat relaxed in his room, awaiting Chris' arrival. He had heard that Chris and his troops had managed to locate Justin and Austin's hideout.Chris had also just informed him that the two brothers had been captured and were coming here.Not long after, Chris knocked on the front door. "Sir, they're already in the interrogation room."Hearing that, Lucas nodded. He got up from his chair and, together with Chris, went to the basement interrogation room.Lucas's footsteps echoed off the cold walls as he stepped into the gloomy basement. In the dark shadows, a group of men dressed in black emerged from dark corners, each with severe faces and unreadable expressions.They bowed respectfully, raising their hands to their chests in reverence, welcoming Lucas' arrival with a sense of loyalty. Lucas looked at them with a cold expression, feeling the power flowing through him. In that dark room, an aura of tension pervaded, and their loyalty to Lucas w
Lucas sits relaxed, holding a book while paying attention to something in front of him. His lips sometimes smiled and parted as he spoke."Yes, that's how it is." He closed the book on his lap. "You must be proud of me, right?" She was silent momentarily, looking straight at him with a faint smile. "Don't worry, fall is just around the corner."Lucas got up, holding his book. He looked back at Louis, who lay unmoving with many tubes and medical devices attached to the man's head and chest. A peaceful, prolonged sleep.The gaze of those eyes looked cold and slightly empty as if they had lost the living light that usually radiated warmth. They were hollow, portraying the confusion and deep sadness of seeing a twin brother lying helplessly in a coma. An enveloping sense of loneliness created the impression that the world around him was fading away.He stepped out of the room where his twin brother was, and at the same time, Chris approached, bowing respectfully.Lucas handed the book to
Chris untied Austin and Justin's hands, placing the two bottles closer to them. Their position was utterly depressed, and they couldn't move. Even if they fought back, they couldn't beat Chris, especially with so many bodyguards standing guard.Chris deliberately walked out of the room and locked the door. He was giving them a chance to talk as brothers one last time before death came to them.Justin's Adam's apple bobbed up and down at the sight of the bottle as if they were in a death grip, ready to cut their heads off at any moment.Justin's eyes moved to Austin. His eyes widened. "Brother, are you seriously going to take it?"Austin reached out. A subtle tremor ran through his hand as he grasped the bottle, signaling how heavy the emotional burden was. An atmosphere of doubt and despair surrounded Justin and Austin, creating a suffocating atmosphere. Their faces looked pale, expressions full of uncertainty and confusion. Justin repeatedly shook his head, looking away as if unable
