Lucian's eyes are as seamless as a bottomless pit and his voice is firm and resolute, like the voice of an ancient emperor used to issuing orders and leaving no room for debate of any sort. And as he stands tall like the King of some sovereign hidden kingdom with his head held high and his hands in his pockets, his jaw is arched in a straight line, and he is exuding a majestic and formidable aura, forcing everyone's heart to plunge far back into their stomachs and their mouths to shut tightly, silence soon dawning on them. And so it stretches for so many minutes before Tessy suddenly gasps as everything Lucian just said dawns on her and the horrible hands of reality kick in. "No, you can't do this," the next second, she blurts breathlessly whilst panting laboriously and on the verge of tears. When that plan to do what she has just done suddenly flashed through her mind, she had been so excited and thought it would undoubtedly earn her her freedom back. This is because she has alw
"Hah!" Chad clenches his teeth, his face stretching into a deep frown, "Are you threatening me? Eh?""Yes, I am! Isn't it already clear enough? Heh, look at you asking me if I'm threatening you as if I can't threaten you! Old cargo, who do you really think you are? Do you perhaps think you are a high figure in this family just because you are the family chief butler?"Obviously! That is definitely what is going on in your head and why your ego keeps surging higher and higher, almost reaching the heavens, with each passing second, but let me tell you right now, no matter what you think you are, or perhaps, who you think you are, you are only but a slave here! A godforsaken slave! Get that into your skull!"I'll stop there for now. Anyways, if you want to live and die at your appointed time, then you should better keep off, otherwise, I'll gladly send you to the afterlife! If I said it, then be sure I'll definitely do it! I don't bluff! "But if you want to gamble with your life, you ca
Lucian had stated not long ago that his eyes will never behold Tessy again till he dies, which is why he didn't spare her a glance despite the fact that he feels so compelled to do so just so he could use the sight of her horrible face as the antidote for everything she said to him. This is just to show how much bigger his word is to his urge, and how he would rather not satisfy it than go back on his word! His word would always be his virtue! And he intends to always keep to it for as far as he lives.Meanwhile, everyone, including Michael, is taken aback by what just happened to Tessy and Lucian's cold declaration, which implies that he had somehow done that to her and can even do far worse than that.They don't understand what is going on at all because they had all clearly seen Tessy's palm slightly brush against Lucian's calf, so how come she got fire burns? Where did the fire come from? It's not like Lucian's leg is burning. Their hearts are ricocheting violently and they c
"Wait! Don't take that last step out!" Lucian suddenly hollers just as Black reaches the door and is about to walk out. Even without turning, he had accurately guessed right that Black was just about to leave and it would take just a step!Seeing this, everyone is utterly flabbergasted, their brows rising in awe. Such sharp sense! He had accurately guessed such a thing without even turning and at where he is standing, which is more than twenty feet away from where Black is.Ah! Once they feel they have seen the height of Lucian's power, he keeps proving them wrong as his power keeps getting more and more terrifying with each action he takes that they are now completely perplexed.This is because from what they can see right now, they are not sure there is someone in DC that could challenge Lucian, so how is it that a lad who grew up in the orphanage is this powerful?What truly is his backstory and why has he chosen to keep it buried just as he kept how he rose back to life buried? T
"So much for someone I had good intentions for," Lucian hisses resentfully and shakes his head. "You see, I had stopped you because I wanted to tell you of a way you could regain your freedom and come back to be one of us, but now you've insulted and talked to me rudely yet again, demonstrating that you still haven't learned from your mistakes and aren't at the very least respectful, so I don't think there's any need for me to waste my breath. "And what's more? Can you guess what? Well, I had also wanted to ask my dad to send you some cool cash. "After all, you are leaving the country and would need some funds to get your new life started, but you can forget about that too. After all, as you said, I'm a wicked boy. Hah!"He pauses and takes a deep breath. "Black, take her away. This time I won't stop you."'He had wanted to tell me of a way I could regain my freedom? He was willing to ask for money for me, but now he won't because I was rude to him and insulted him?!'Lucian's words
"We... We," Black stutters and subconsciously takes two steps backward, so overwhelmed by Lucian's brimming rage, which appears to be solely directed at him. "Ah!" His back prickles with horror and he breaks out in cold sweat. But recalling Lucian is waiting for his response, he gulps and takes deep breaths to calm his nerves before anxiously continuing, "We were almost reaching the gate when she suddenly dug her nails into my back and bit me on the shoulder, intending to dig her nails and teeth so deep into my body. "I couldn't stand the belly-twisting pain and instinctively pushed her away from me. I realized what I'd done a second later, and instantly tried to grab her back only for her to ruthlessly kick me in my balls as if she has been waiting for the moment. "She was too fast that I couldn't stop her and took the drastic hit and this caused me to bend and try to pacify the pain down my balls while groaning out; little did I know that she saw it as yet another opportunity and
Black is looking so pathetic as he bows and begs to be punished but surprisingly, if he had just done that or said anything, Lucian doesn't even seem to grab unto them at all as what he said before he knelt keeps resounding in his head over and over again.And after a while, he furrows his brows at Black as he asks, "Did you say she was coming for me or did you just make that up to divert my attention from your incompetence? Eh?""Hah, Young Master!" Black sucks his teeth exasperatedly. "If I made it up, why then would I still be kneeling and begging to be punished?""Are you questioning me?" Lucian snaps."No, no, Young Master, I wouldn't dare! I'm only giving an instance. You see, while Tessy was about to rush back here, she mumbled to herself that she would surely kill you once she gets here and see how you would be able to pass judgment on anyone ever again. I'm guessing that she might have recalled how powerful you are and how she would be dead meat if she dared attacked you the m
GRANOLA HEAVEN, WASHINGTON, D.C...In a luxurious glossy suite in Granola Heaven, a five-star restaurant and one of the very best in the country, Lucian and Michael are sitting relaxedly on opposite sides on large sofas, exuding elegant and majestic auras. At a sight into the extravagant suite, one would think they are having a huge feast because the four-foot-long golden table before them is covered from beginning to end with different kinds of dishes, both continental and intercontinental dishes, and wines of various ages, ranging from as far as five hundred years ago till the present.Apart from the bottle of wine which has been uncorked and served in the two glasses sitting in front of Lucian and Michael none of the other wines nor the dishes have been touched yet. And from the looks of things, they might not all be touched because they are just so much that even the sight is frightening and hair-raising.The suite is so flamboyantly glamorous and just like the name implies, it i
