Yuri bites down on his lower lip till it turns scarlet almost to the verge of bleeding and shakes his head, retorting, "No, you are not! You are absolutely right! Our actions were truly wrong and as such, you have every right to slay us if you so wish! But," he nibbles on his lower lip and casts his gaze down."Please don't do it. As enemies, you should know that it is natural we bore that thought. It's not like most of us even wanted the thought to emerge, but because of the lives we've lived so far, our minds elicited them on their own! "I'm not trying to justify our actions, no, not at all, all I'm trying to say is that we know our mistakes now. In fact, we are such pathetic souls! The people we serve clearly abandoned us and fled without a single word or any care in the world about our safety, yet we turned back to bite you when you had the intention of letting us go. For this, I'm saying I'm sorry," he drops down on a knee and bows reverently. "Since this is the very first mista
"Huh?!" Yuri and the rest of his comrades are utterly flabbergasted. Is this some sort of prank, or what? Sparrow is kidding right now, right? He definitely has to be! Gosh, he definitely has to be! They don't want to believe he isn't because he just has to be!"What is huh?!" Sparrow scoffs. "That is my condition! And since I said it, it is valid!" As if seeing through their thoughts, he deadpans!"Ah! He is actually serious! He really is!" Their expressions drop to an all-time low, and a sour taste of acid and vinegar creep into their tongues, their head aching!They are the prestigious expert bodyguards of the Youngs. The best amongst the best! How can they just denounce their loyalty to the Youngs when they have done nothing wrong to them? Don't people quit jobs only when they've been offended by the authorities and don't want to work there again or when they've found a new job? But they have experienced none, they were neither wronged, nor have they found a new job, so how can th
"Frustrate you?!" Sparrow rolls his eyes and burst out laughing. "Ah, Yuri, do you really think you are worthy of me wasting my time to try to frustrate you? You must think so highly of yourself!" He grimaces and scoffs. "Let me tell you, to me, you are still nothing but a security guard! Whether expert or not! You just got lucky by stumbling upon a wealthy family who took you in. If that didn't happen, you should have probably been a security guard at a gate or a minor company! "In fact, even as you are, the least of my comrade in Gloves & Glory is still more significant than you will ever be! "Now, tell me with your church mind, why I'll waste my time trying to frustrate such an insignificant person like you? You said yourself that you guys are willing to do anything for your freedom, and I've given you a condition!"It's left for you and your comrades to decide if you want to do it or not, but do well to keep these things in your godforsaken minds: Dani and Mr. Young have no reg
"It's not just him! We will make our decision based on that as well!""Yes, only when we know what we are getting into will we arrive at a suitable decision!""Kindly answer the question! We are waiting!"Seeing that one of them has taken the initiative to ask the question that most of them had been so afraid to ask, the nine or so of them immediately find their courage and voice!"So you guys are indirectly trying to pin on me the blame for whatever your choices of decision would be?" Sparrow narrows his eyes.These guys are far too cunning. Clearly, they understand that if they do not pledge allegiance to him, he will not hesitate to order their executions, therefore they are attempting to grasp something that they can use as a sliver of an excuse to say it was all his fault. By then, they might begin complaining that it was because he was maltreating them by refusing to treat them as they were originally treated that they chose not to pledge allegiance to him! They will try to mak
"Please, is there anyone?" Death Pool hovers his gaze over them whilst rubbing his knuckles. He just wishes any one of them can still be bold to say yes so he could have more thrilling fun. It's not even up to a minute since he finished killing the last set and he is already getting bored and his fists are itching.He needs to whack them against someone's jaws and temples. And moisturize them with some more blood. It's been a long they had such a great feast. Since he became the chief security officer of this hospital, he hasn't fought for even a day.Even on the days, there happened to be conflicts, before he could rush out, he would hear the fight has already been resolved. It always left him so infuriated and angry. One can imagine how happy he is at this moment! He feels it is a golden opportunity! One he needs to utilize with everything in him!'Ten or twenty of them should just say yes!' He practically screams in his head. He can't wait to start slaying them! He really can't
"Ah!" Death Pool sighs bitterly. "You guys are really lucky!" He shakes his head and takes a step back. "Really lucky! Thank your stars!"Death Pool might be unhappy that they chose to compromise at this moment he was starting to enjoy himself. But thinking about it, it's all for the better good. At least, Sparrow just earned himself a total of 188 elite bodyguards. That's an incredible feat to be achieved in just a few minutes. He is happy for him nonetheless. Yea, he is!Meanwhile, only when the guards see that Death Pool has stepped away from them and that the aura of death that seemed to be hovering around them has depreciated as well, do they release the breaths they had no idea they have been holding all this while.Heck, they were so terrified that for a moment back there, they even forgot to breathe! Hah!"Sparrow, sorry, I mean, Mr. Shaw, are we free now?" Yuri asks skeptically. Unlike others, Yuri is still tensed despite the fact that Death Pool has stepped away and he wan
Everyone turns to Mr. Howard. Indeed, for a while now he has been silent that they've almost forgotten that he is here with them. If he had not spoken just now, it is no doubt that they would have totally forgotten about him! So pathetic!"Alright, Mr. Howard," Sparrow says reverently and slightly bows. "As long as you have an idea, we will naturally listen to you. So tell us, what is this idea of yours?"Mr. Howard bobs to him in acknowledgment but feels reluctant to speak his mind. Not with these half-casts in their midst!Despite that they have just pledged their allegiance to Sparrow, he still finds it hard to trust them. He won't want them secretly leaking everything they discuss here to Mr. Young later on and in the end, jeopardize everything. After all, if Death Pool had not caught Declan when he sent that SMS, no one would have known such a thing happened and they would have continued their discussion.He doesn't want to make any mistakes as this is not the moment for such."
Foolish old man! Hah!As Mr. Howard sees the angry expression on Death Pool's face, he smiles relaxedly and calmly asks, "Why are you getting so bothered over nothing? Don't you know that only a madman would see a clear-headed man and call him a madman when, in fact, he is the one mad?!""Hahaha, Mr. Howard, that's hilarious!" Everyone laughs out loud. Everyone except Yuri and his comrades anyway. It's true they had denounced Mr. Young, but somehow, they still feel a kind of obligation towards him and that is what is keeping them from laughing at a joke made of him. Mr. Young is still someone they spent so many years of their lives with, so they clearly can't get over him in just a day. It's not possible!Sparrow and Death Pool are not bothered about this. They understand how Yuri and his comrades feel so they don't intend to hold it against them at all.It's already enough that they kept their promise by not secretly ranting out to Mr. Young the new plan they just mapped out. Not t
Dear readers, I know I've wronged so many of you by not updating for so long. 😭😭I'm sorry. so so sorry. I've been caught up with my second book A Billionaire After Divorce and school. I graduated last year.I promise, I'll try my best to resume writing in March. Unfailingly. Since I left the book for so long, I'll need to read it again and refresh my memory then dive in. Please give me just one more month and I'll resume updating. I hope you guys can still stick with me. Thank you. From your lovely author, GHOSTWRITER.
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
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
'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
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 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
"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. "This
"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
