When Lucian found out about his true identity, he'd for some reason told Chad Kennedy that he wanted it to remain a secret and that to the world, he still wanted to remain known as the poor Lucian.

Of course, Michael knows about this. That is why when he arrived with the Jets just now and noticed so many people outside the hospital, he couldn't immediately disembark. With how he was seething, he knew he needed to roar. He needed to wreak havoc.

But on second thoughts, he realized that would blow his son, Lucian's cover and reveal his identity to the whole world. He knew Lucian would not like that, so he had to take some measures. That was why he ordered Chad to send every other person away except the family members of the girl Lucian saved.

He understood the family will end up knowing Lucian's identity, but with how angry he was with them, he didn't care!

Besides, he didn't see anything wrong with that family knowing Lucian's true identity.

At the very least, it would make them kno

    "Missus Garfield! Doctor Bertram!" The nurses and paramedics in the lobby are taken aback to see their CEO and medical director personally pushing a body out of the hospital. They immediately dart to them to help but Catherine wouldn't let them. She angrily fends them away, but when they wouldn't still give up, yells hysterically, "Get your wretched selves out of this lobby and go about your daily activities! I don't want to see any of you here!""What makes her so hostile and cold? She was all happy and enthusiastic earlier today. Could it be because of the corpse?!" The nurses and paramedics murmur amongst themselves as they rush out of the lobby, terrified of being hurt by Catherine's new crazy demeanor.Catherine casts a cold glare behind them.

    Michael is utterly flabbergasted. What kinda doctor is that? He is so ill-mannered, uncultured, and lacks professionalism. Like, he can't believe that punk of a doctor just addressed him that way and even had the temerity to call him a cold man. Him, Michael Hutton! He had no fear at all! Hah! Doesn't he know that only a snap of his finger can cause him to lose his doctor title for good and prevent him from seeing any patients until he dies?

    "Helen!" Mr. Howard screams in terror and darts to her rescue with all his might. Fortunately, he is right on time! He catches her just as she is about to hit her head against the floor and lifts her. At the same speed, he drifts his gaze to Catherine and mumbles breathlessly, "Please save my daughter. Please!"At the mention of 'save,' Michael suddenly comes to a halt. His sobs seize and his eyes sparkle. Lucian can still be saved! Yes, he came with Supreme Doctor Hong!How could he have forgotten him all this while and why didn't Supreme Doctor Hong even say anything to remind him of his presence? Hah!He speedily wipes his tears, looks down at Lucian, and removes the pieces of cotton in his nostrils before turning back to the Ancient Doctor. "Supreme Doctor Hong, you've been here all this time, why didn't you say anything? You left me to mourn! How could you do such a thing?!" He asks somewhat coldly, his face stretching into a deep frown."I left you to mourn so it won't be too di

  • The Formidable Heir   DEADLY AND BLOODTHIRSTY!

For the first time in a while, he watched his daughter, Helen, fall mercilessly in love again.He'd hoped this would turn out well for her. He'd hoped her new-found love would last this time around. He'd hoped this because the last time Helen fell in love, it didn't go well for her as she was left heartbroken.Nah, the lad didn't break up with her. Who would abandon his gorgeous sweet girl? That's not the case at all.Death did the break up. Yes, death snatched the lad away from her.

  • The Formidable Heir   WHAT A JOKE OF A LIFETIME!

    "No, no, My Lord," Chad rushes up to Michael who is about to dart out of the hospital and falls to his feet, blocking his path."What is the meaning of this, Chad Kennedy?!" Michael scowls. "What the hell are you doing getting in my way? What?!" He grits his teeth.Chad is scared out of his wits. The mere sight of Michael right now is sending chills down his spine. Michael looks more like the God of death himself and he wants nothing more than to leave the way for him to leave. But Lucian is dead. He is too sacred to be left just like that. If there's anything that needs to be done now that will be Lucian's send-off. It's very important and he can't let Michael leave for something different when that hasn't been done. Furthermore, in the Hutton family law documentary, there is a segment that states that no matter how a member of the family was killed, he or she should be sent off first before any other activity can take place. That includes revenge and whatsoever.Another segment of

  • The Formidable Heir   WHERE IS MR. WOOD?

    "Huh?" Mr. Howard gasps and quickly steps away. The sound of death scares him so much. Since Michael has decided to let his family off, he can't be the one to bring about their death sentence. He zips his mouth, locks it, and throws away the key!At this moment, the sound of sirens resonates all over the hospital and the next moment, Mickey rushes into the hospital with the cops from earlier slowly tagging along with him."Mr. Howard!" As soon as his eyes drop to Mr. Howard, he rushes to him and falls to his knees before him. "I'm so sorry for what I tried to do to your daughter. I'm so sorry!"Mickey had expected to see Mr. Howard in the hospital. He knew Lucas would undeniably tell him what happened. So when he rushed into the hospital just now, he quickly began darting his eyes around for him. That is why he could sight him so quickly and easily."Who are you?" Michael fades his energy and looks at Mickey skeptically as he asks coldly."You!" As soon as Chad turns to look at Mickey

    "Why do you ask me?" Mr. Howard retorts icily. "You were there when he was stabbed! What did you think would happen to him? Look," he points at Lucian. "That is Mr. Wood lying eyes closed on that damned stretcher! He is dead and cold! Yes, Mr. Wood is dead! I hope you and your friend Dani are happy now!" He glares maliciously at him, feeling like ripping him into dreads but holding back because Lucian had forgiven him before he was stabbed.Mickey's breath hitches. "No," he shakes his head. "Mr. Wood can't be dead. Mr. Wood is a strong man! He has extraordinary powers. That stab couldn't have killed him! No!""Stop deceiving yourself and go see for yourself!" Mr. Howard hisses angrily.Chad doesn't even let Mickey do that himself. He tightens his grip on his collar, drags him over to the stretcher, and bends his head to Lucian's face, almost making him kiss him. "Who is that, punk?! Isn't it Mr. Wood? Tell me, isn't it?!" He yells.Mickey shudders. "It... It's Mr. Wood," he sputters.

  • The Formidable Heir   BOOM!

    After his dad, Supreme Doctor Hong was the next man that groomed and taught him the basic things of life he knows up until now. He is not just a doctor to him but also a father figure. Like, Supreme Doctor Hong is someone he always tries to obey every word he speaks even though he is the Patriarch of his family. It's only in certain scenarios like the one minutes ago that he dismisses his word. Every man is stubborn at times. It's natural.This time, however, that is not the case. Surprisingly, as soon as Supreme Doctor Hong finishes speaking, it's as if Michael has a flash of insight, as his eyes sparkle and he exclaims, "That's right! That punk is an enemy of my son which means he is automatically my enemy. "He must have said that to make us believe my son could still rise again then I'll decide to let him off. He is a great liar and deceiver!"It's not only that Michael values Supreme Doctor Hong's word that he chose to listen to him, it also boils down to the fact that he has k

    SO EAGER TO GRANT YOUR WISH!

    Perhaps he believes as far as he pushed down his ego and begged, he would undoubtedly be forgiven. After all, Lucian is a man who appears to be easily moved by apologies, regardless if they were genuine or not.But he had got it all wrong this time as Lucian merely scoffs as soon as he finishes putting up the forgive me drama and retorts,"Fancy you kneeling there and yelling I shouldn't do this when you brought it upon yourself. Hah! I've been patient enough with you, but I see you might be taking my benevolence for weakness and dismissing me as a pushover you can snap at and curse whenever you want. "As a result, I might pardon others as they didn't concur or refute you when you said what you said, but I would never pardon you! "Since you've finally succeeded to cross my bottom line, you might as well bear the consequences! Only after you've suffered that would you realize how ruthless I am as a person and know that I'm no pushover!"He sways his gaze to Chester. "Keep away from

    I'M SORRY!

    With each word Lucian says, Cole and his brothers feel a pang in their chests that by the time he is done talking, their chests can't help but begin aching. Simultaneously, their brows crinkle and their face contort in discomfort. This is indeed what they planned to do. They'd suffered so much just because of the useless little girl and her boyfriend.Obviously, there was no way they would have let that lying down. It was just as Lucian said, they'd silently planned in their hearts to seek revenge against him later because they had to verify his identity first but would go ahead to kill the little girl and her boyfriend immediately since they already know their statuses. Like, they had not been planning to let that revenge-seeking cross today.They've always loved serving their revenge hot. But what they never expected is that Lucian will easily figure out their untold plans. A plan they had not even discussed amongst themselves but harbored only in their respective hearts. They

    ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

    'My sister,' as those simple yet powerful words leave Lucian's lips and infiltrate the little girl's eardrums, an overwhelming sensation course through her veins, and her eyes well up with tears. She doesn't know why, but hearing Lucian refer to her as his sister makes her so aroused and emotional.Maybe because she never had a big brother, let alone one who would stand up for her so selflessly. What aggravates her emotions even more is the fact that Lucian knows nothing about her. Like, he has never met her before yet he is so willing to go to the ends of the world for her. The knowledge that she now has a stranger as a big brother and a powerful one at that is quite weird yet so overwhelming and soothing."Thank you, thank you so much," she can't help but express her heartfelt gratitude. "I'm really grateful!" Her eyes sparkle and she pouts, looking much like a pouting kitten.Lucian is instantly overwhelmed with the strong urge to laugh as the little girl is so amusing right now w

  • The Formidable Heir   

    DO I NEED TO TEACH YOU?!

    Callum's brows furrow and his face contort in displeasure. At this moment, he seemingly appears to be both perplexed and displeased. According to what the little girl said, she accepted his apologies. He is sure he heard that right, so why should he apologize to her again, or could it be that the girl was merely being sarcastic?But it doesn't seem that way. In that case, that can only mean she meant it and that Lucian is the one who is twisting her words for whatever reason. An acid taste creeps into his tongue and he clenches his fists.Since Lucian now calls the shots, he must be doing it on purpose to trample on his ego and shatter it if possible.His nose flares up in rage and he furiously turns, seemingly as if he wants to pick a fight with him, but as his gaze lands on Rome and Chester's murderous faces, a chill runs down his spine and he jerks twice as if he had been electrocuted."I-""You are twisting my words!" Before he can say anything, the little girl says helplessly an

  • The Formidable Heir   

    APPEARS YOU WANT TO DIE!

    The little girl is gaping at Callum as if she is seeing him for the first time and her heart is thumping so strongly, loudly, and quickly, a cloudburst of blood surging through her veins in tides upon tides. Who would have guessed that Callum, one of the burly figures who seemed so powerful and tyrannical to her would be reduced to this?She is so stunned at the sudden twist in events that her jaw is practically dropping to the floor, and she doesn't in the slightest know how to handle it. Regardless, she is just a pauper who has spent her entire life in the slums and is at the bottom of society. As a result, her self-esteem has taken a significant hit, plummeting to an all-time low. And this has had so many negative effects on her, one of which is the fact that she has, over the years, grown accustomed to being the one begging others, and with the exception of her boyfriend, who begs her occasionally when he offends her, no one else has ever begged her. One could imagine just how bi

    "That's very easy," Lucian grins darkly. "Don't they like to fuck anything in a skirt? We can as well have them try something new!" "Something like what, My Lord?" Rome doesn't even let a second pass as he quickly asks, his eyes gleaming with so much curiosity in them."Something like fucking the same gender!" Lucian sneers and passes his tongue over his lower lip, exuding a sinister aura."Wow!" Rome gasps and an ecstatic smile breaks out on his face. "You sure deserve to be My Lord!" He proclaims with so much reverence, admiration, and pride in his voice and bows 90°. Yes, this is the formidable Python Lord he has pledged to serve for the rest of his life! He sure lives up to his name!"I have no doubt that this is a nice blood-rising plan, My Lord, but there are no new guys here, so even if that was possible, who would they lay with?" Chester twists his brows disconcertingly as he implores, seemingly not that enthusiastic yet."How can you be so slow-witted?" Lucian frowns. "Do the

    BUT HOW DO WE ACHIEVE IT?

    "Such a bunch of cowards!" Rome hisses, glaring disdainfully at Cole and his brothers. "For experts with such murderous auras, I assumed you guys would be at least interesting and hard nuts to crack but turns out you three are so pathetic and a disgrace to your expertise! You don't deserve to be called experts at all as you are just a useless bunch of scared mice! "Gosh, you three might be the death of me if I don't take time because you infuriate me to no end!" Rome is so provoked that his babbling spirit suddenly takes over him and he loses rationality and begins babbling and babbling at the top of his lungs, his eyes bloodshot and his fists clenched so tightly that they now bright red and might start bleeding anytime soon if he doesn't control his rage and loosen up."Buddy," seeing this, Chester doesn't waste a second as he smacks him on the head, yelling, "Earth to me!"Rome shudders violently, almost dropping to the floor, but Chester is fast to catch him and steady him.

    WITHIN AN INCH OF THEIR LIVES

    "But I've already been struck before," before Carl and Callum can bring themselves to say anything, Cole, who had assumed he wouldn't be included in the beating since he has already been struck by Rome and suffered a vital blow, says in a barely audible whisper, his voice full of so much reverence and his face flustered.It's not that he respects Lucian, or fears him, nah, not at all. To him, Lucian is still a lad who doesn't deserve his respect. So what if he might be an heir to a top-tier family? Does he have what it takes to command respect from a man of his skills?Hmph! He's just a fragile heir who only has his family to rely on, and without them, he is nothing. He has never taken all these heirs seriously because the majority of them are utterly useless and incompetent. They can't even fight themselves out of danger and would always depend on their guards.Their very existence irritates him and as such his reverence towards Lucian just now is only because of Rome and Chester at h
