The burly figure nods and whilst Chad is transferring the video to one of the cops, begins pushing Lucian away."Are you going to send him off once you get to Washington, D.C., Mr. Hutton?" Helen rushes after Michael, who has started walking away alongside Supreme Doctor Hong, and asks.Michael simply nods, his expression blank."No, never!" Helen shakes her head. "How can you send him off without seeking revenge for him first? How? I don't accept this!" She stretches her hand to grab Michael. "Helen," Mr. Howard dashes over to her and is quick to hold back her hand. He also goes on to say, "Do you think Mr. Hutton doesn't want that more than anything else? His choice of action has something to do with the Hutton family law. Mr. Hutton has to bury Mr. Wood first before he can do any other thing. Don't add to the sorrow the family law is already causing him by asking him so many questions or trying to stop him from leaving. Please.""Hmm," Helen hums. "I'm sorry, I was ignorant," she s
"Hmph! You are too smug!" Mr. Howard hisses, walks up to Dani, and marries his gaze as he says icily with dark eyes, "If the Songs are not enough to scare you, I'm wondering if the Howards will not as well!""You two don't need to do anything! Leave everything to us! We will handle it all!" At this moment, Sparrow walks in with Spider, Smoke, and over a hundred of their comrades."What are you guys doing here?" Dani suddenly has a scowl on his face and looks slightly bothered. "This is a battle between the three first-rate families. A petty organization like Gloves & Glory shouldn't be interfering and standing up for any of the families!""Hmph! Bullshit! Who said we are here to stand up for any of the first-rate families?" Spider scoffs contemptuously. "Punk, you stabbed Mr. Wood and we are here to make you pay!""You are here to make me pay because I stabbed Mr. Wood? What kind of nonsense is that?! That brat had no ties with Gloves & Glory, so what does my stabbing him have to do w
"You are just a member of Gloves & Glory whereas I am the Scion of the Songs, so what if I'm threatening you?! Don't I dare do so?!" Dani scoffs derisively, not threatened by the malicious glint in Sparrow's eyes in any way.Sparrow might be stronger than him in martial arts, but what does it matter? In this 21st century, who cares about mortal strength? So what if he is stronger than him?He is the Scion of the Songs and has the backing of his dad! What then can a member of Gloves & Glory possibly do to him?!He is not afraid of Sparrow in the least! He is not afraid of anyone! Not the Howards, and definitely not the Youngs!He puffs his chest arrogantly and blinks at Sparrow as if telling him; "You can't do anything to me! I am the King and way above your reach!""Hah! Dani Song, I see you've grown wings!" Sparrow grits his teeth and his face darkens. "You think you are invincible! You think yourself high and mighty! Your ego has risen to its zenith! It has risen far above the clouds
Spider is a member of the prestigious Gloves & Glory. Everyone in Aurora, including kids, knows the hothead Spider. Just like Shadow and Sparrow, his fame had spread throughout Aurora like wildfire the moment he achieved an unimaginable feat in front of so many people.As a result, Dani's man is threatened by the mere sight of him as he knows who he is. No matter how he looks at it, Spider is someone he can't dare to recklessly talk back at or challenge. It makes no difference that Dani is right there in front of him.If Spider attacked him, he would be the only one to bear the consequences if he wasn't able to protect himself and Dani probably wouldn't care about him and will instantly cast him away because he no longer has anything to offer, so why shouldn't he waver in the face of impending danger? He takes a deep breath and makes to retreat but on second thought, halts in his tracks. This is not just about him, it is about his high ego. He has it to protect. If he shows fear and r
Spider is so furious at Sparrow's retort that he hisses hysterically and glares at him. "I don't like this!" He sucks his teeth and stamps his foot. "That bastard son of an asshole insulted you and me, and you're so willing to let it go?! So what if he's not on the same level as me? "Does that mean he doesn't deserve to pay for all the rubbish he spat out from that damned mouth of his?! I don't know what you think you are doing, but since you are so willing to let him off, that's fine, you can go ahead and do so! But you see me right here? "I'm not doing that shit! Yes! I'm not letting him off! I'm not that generous! And I'll never be! Now move out of my way!" He clenches his fists and raises his cold gaze to meet Sparrow's as he roars, "Get the hell out!""Such a hothead," Sparrow hisses. He should be angry that Spider chose to speak to him in that manner as he is far above him, but for some reason, he isn't in any way. This is clearly because everyone knows Spider. This is often h
"We are sorry, Mr. Howard, but we can't let that happen!" At this moment, before Lucas and the rest can even respond to Mr. Howard's order, the brunette cop raises her head and declares."Yes, Mr. Howard, we can't let that happen! Jungle justice can never be accepted in Aurora! It has never been accepted and never will it! Nevertheless, even if it is done, it should not be done in our very presence. "That is a blatant insult to us and everything we stand for! We are the keepers of the law and protectors of the people, so there is no way in hell we can stand here and watch you murder the very people we protect just because you want to avenge Mr. Wood!" The other female cop doesn't waste a second to stand with her colleague as she also declares."Hmph!" Mr. Howard grits his teeth and glares at them, his breath becoming raspy. "You consider yourselves protectors, huh?" He pats his head unbelievably. "Really? Aren't you two ashamed of saying that trash? Mr. Wood was stabbed to death right
The brunette cop feels like she is on top of the world! For the first time in her life, she feels like she has done something out of the box! She feels like she has done something that would put her in the hearts of everyone present here for the rest of their lives!The guns being empty is clearly not a mere coincidence as it has a backstory! And the backstory sure has something to do with her!Earlier, she had told Mr. Howard in her comeback that the guns were only being used to keep everyone at bay and that no one was shooting anyone.Everyone had assumed that the statement meant she wouldn't let her colleagues open fire at them as long as they respected themselves, but it has turned out just now that it actually meant something completely different! They weren't going to open fire because there were no bullets in the guns!This is just as she'd planned it! The act of the cops aiming the muzzles at Mr. Howard and his henchmen and threatening to shoot them if they don't stand down was
Dani is shaking. His lips are quivering and his heart is panting. All of a sudden, the fear of death is choking him. Wait! There is just one possible explanation for that! He instantly drifts his gaze a few steps away from him and right there is Sparrow! Ah! His heart skips a beat. The man is almost upon him and his comrades are not far away from him! If that was all, he would have been less bothered but it isn't in the least! Not just are Sparrow and his coming after him, but Mr. Howard's henchmen are as well! A chill of fear sweeps over him, goosebumps erupt all over his bare skin, and all the hairs on his body stand on end. 'No, I can't die here! I can't!' He thinks and clenches his fists in fierce determination. He looks at his men and growls in a deadly voice, "Keep those punks off! Keep them away from me! I need to get away! Keep them off!"He'd come to destroy the video and assassinate Mickey. But he's never been a dullard! In fact, one can say he is one of the brightest i
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
