"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
Black smoke rises from the charred building. Police have secured the surrounding area, placing police lines to prevent people from entering. Some officers try to calm curious citizens, while others get ready with firefighting equipment.The sound of sirens wailed through the city streets. Many journalists from television stations gathered at a large building that had burned down."There has been a battle between mafia groups that has burned down a large, luxurious building in the southern city." The anchor reporter on the ground pointed at the charred remains of the building. "The cause of the fire is still unknown, but there is a strong suspicion that this building was deliberately set on fire by a rival group."Cameras showed many police securing the area and other journalists vying momentarily. The atmosphere was chaotic, and this was clearly depicted on the camera.Meanwhile, the same news coverage still shows a castle with a destroyed underground passage train in another place. T
Soft crystal lamps hang from the ceiling, emitting a warm light that creates an intimate atmosphere. The table is neatly set with a white tablecloth and lit candles in the center, adding to the romantic mood of the night. Roses are arranged in small vases, spreading a natural fragrance.Soft classical music plays from the corner of the room, filling the air with calming melodies. Every note seems to enhance the beauty of the moment. Lora is dressed in an elegant evening gown, while Lucas looks handsome in his suit, glowing in the candlelight.The food served is gourmet, from delicious appetizers to tempting desserts. They exchange stories and laughter, celebrating the love they’ve just committed to through their engagement. Lucas rented the luxurious restaurant for a private dinner, just the two of them.Lora is in awe of the scene before her. She looks at Lucas with admiration. “You must have spent a lot of money on this.”Lucas furrows his brows with a faint smile. “Are you worried
