Chapter 165Kayle and the other people working in the mansion could not ask Titan what had happened to be the only one that could give them a clue as to why Sheila was crying. They could not ask because of his formidable posture. He wished he could go out and help but he didn't want to disobey Lucas's instructions, he told him to protect Sheila with everything he had until he came back. Unknown to him he would not come back completely. Sheila found his way back inside with the help of Kayle, she laid her on the bed and asked if she should prepare something for her but Sheila didn't answer, she had turned pale, she wanted to be left alone and said, "Please leave," her voice was shaking as she talked. Her phone beeped and hurriedly retrieved it from her purse to see if Lucas had escaped and needed help. But to her disappointment, Lydia texted her. Her eyes widened in horror as she read her text "Good for You!". She did not understand what she meant by the statement was she referring
Chapter 166 She took Lucas's phone to call Mr. Mayor, she had never met Mr. Mayor in person but knew he was one of the important figures in the society and the man would give her audience if he found out she was calling because of Lucas. He had called for Lucas on one or two occasions that she knew about, and his wife also sent her a gift. She took the mysterious phone that Lucas was using, she powered it but the phone was not booting. She tried harder but the phone remained so. She tossed it angrily on the bed and the phone spoke, "You can damage it like that" She scoffed and took it again, it seemed that the phone was responsive to fingerprint. She gave up on the phone and gently put it on the bed. She didn't know what she should do and fell on the bed and started crying, there was no one to turn to. She wailed uncontrollably in her room, all the workers were on their feet, though Lucas was the one who hired them, but they saw Sheila as their boss immediately after she ste
Chapter 167"Shut up or I'll kill you now!" He yelled."I bet you wouldn't dare to kill me," Lucas sneered."Whether now or later, I'm certain you won't leave here alive," he retorted."Which dictionary did you read that from? You're all dead to me. It's just a matter of hours, none of you will escape my punishment, I promise." Lucas threatened and they all quiet for a while. He thought he had won and said, "I can do you a favour now: renounce King Marcus, and I'll let you live," Lucas threatened again All the thugs looked at one another and laughed uncontrollably."This man is such a clown. I feel like chopping his leg off immediately," one of them exclaimed."I'll aim for his eyes," another chimed in."Do you know who we are? How dare you, an insignificant creature, instruct us? It won't take me a second to end your life. All I'm waiting for is the go-ahead from the king. Thousands of lives have been taken by me," he boasted."It has come to an end, no more lives to waste, I will m
Chapter 169No one had ever looked King Marcus in the face, even if they had not captured him, his boys dared to do that too. "Who is he that dared to talk back when he was talking?"He expected him to be terrified but Lucas didn't fidget, his demeanour remained the same. He ordered his boy to pounce on him until he was disfigured but they should not kill him. They pounced on him as they instructed, different hands were meeting on his body. Lucas only grunted and moaned, he didn't beg for his life King Marcus expected Lucas to beg for his life, but he refused. He didn't cry as they beat him, frustrating King Marcus. King Marcus ordered them to stop, and they all moved backwards. He raised Lucas's jaw and asked, 'Where is the money?'"Which money?"Lucas responded."The movie money you stole."Lucas lighted out sarcastically and said," The last time I checked, you don't owe me and I don't own you, I produced the movie and you helped me to turn it to auction, people were bidding f
Chapter 169King Marcus stood frozen, his mind was reeling from the shock of his secret being laid bare for the world to see. Fear gripped him as he realized the extent of the betrayal from the authorities he had trusted. He didn't know that they were not the ones who treated his case, the authority came from New York City. Robert was killed 10 years ago when he came to California for business purposes, he invested a trillion dollars with King Marcus and disappeared without notice forever. Lucas and Faboan had worked for King Marcus and they knew how dangerous he was. Fabian always stayed but Lucas never stopped to poke his nose when he saw new faces, he always saw them investing and they disappeared after investing.Most of them are always pronounced dead after investing with King Marcus and no one dared ask him because he was a friend to local and state policy, he always gave them their dues.Lucas was curious to know the kind of death that always killed them. He decided to ca
Chapter 170People listening to the stream were worried that King Marcus would not kill the person whose house name was not mentioned. They discussed what they were hearing "This king or slave, whatever he called himself should be arrested and killed,""Do you think that will happen in our lawless state? ""This one can't be swept under the carpet, if the authority fails to do something, we masses will protest or cause a riot, by the time we sabotage government properties, they will listen to us, ""You are right, but how will this man not be killed by him? That is my major concern, causing a riot or protecting his medicine after death. The so-called man that lived him should be protected, ""For someone to expose him to this length, that person must have found ways to escape, if he later dies, then he will be a hero," ""Hero in the grave!""Yes, he is, this is the second stream we ever heard today, the world should give the man an award, dead or alive, I have never seen intelligen
Chapter 171Within minutes, Fabian and Silencer arrived at the location and spotted police helicopters outside. King Marcus, his entourage, and Lucas were nowhere to be seen, this sent a shiver down Fabian's spine, inducing panic in him"Where's Lucas? He mustn't die; we have a long journey ahead. Please, save him," Fabian pleaded.The female officer, uneasy with Fabian's reaction, approached him and said, "He's alive and unharmed. Please, allow us to do our job and remain calm."The lead officer took the microphone and issued the command, "Surrender the hostage and yourself! Turn yourself in now!"He repeated the lines three times. King Marcus sighed heavily and said, "Who among you will take responsibility for this boy? You must all surrender yourselves. I will find a way out."One of the boys stepped forward and declared, "I will never surrender without a fight. If I must go to jail, I demand to know my crime. I have no family among those he has held hostage, so I fear him not lik
Chapter 171The officers allowed Fabian and Silencer to go with Lucas, the policemen feared he might not survive and they didn't want to implicate themselves, the image of the local police had been destroyed together with King Marcus's image, if anything happens to Lucas, and the citizens would believe that he was murdered. They connected their radio and made Fabian talk that he was the family of Lucas, and Lucas also said that he was the one that wanted to go with his family, he was no longer in the care of the police. After the announcement for clarification, they drove away. The two policemen sprinted inside and brought out King Marcus. He was immediately handcuffed and they took him out. He looked pathetic! Fabian was directing Solencer to Dr. Ken's hospital but Lucas said they should not take him to the hospital, he mentioned Sheila silently. "Sheila, that is your house, have you shown your identity to her," He nodded in response, he wanted to save the remaining energy he
