"What?!" Harper exclaims and purses her lips. "You want me to kneel and apologize to him?" She points at herself as she speaks and puffs up her chest, unnecessarily drawing the 'me' in the sentence.

Mr. Howard's face turns sullen and he grits his teeth. He raises his hand as if he wants nothing more than to land it on Harper's cheek, but as he looks at Lucian and Helen, he drops it back. He doesn't want them to have the wrong impression and term him a woman beater since they are merely kids and might not understand how pushed he is right now.

Nevertheless, that doesn't stop him from shooting Harper a cold glare as he barks, "I believe you are not deaf! Don't waste my time any longer and do as I asked! You are really stepping on my nerves right now!"

"Why would I kneel and apologize to him when I did nothing wrong? If you think I'm stepping on your nerves then so be it! But I don't see what I did wrong that warrants an apology!" Harper retorts stubbornly and hisses loudly, wrapping her

    "What?" Lucian's jaw drops. She didn't just do that right? Helen didn't just kiss him, right? He is frozen in place. Everything happened so quickly. He can't tell if it was real or not.It had to be my imagination, right? Yea, it had to be. It didn't really happen. He shakes his head about to shrug it off but on second thought, just to be sure it was his imagination, he touches the spot Helen kissed him and his pupils instantly dilate when he feels the wetness of her lips right there on his cheek.He runs his hand through his hair as a flush spreads across his face! She did, in fact, kiss him! Helen Howard kissed him! Never in his wildest dreams did he think such a thing will happen to him, but it just did! She kissed him! Him, Lucian Wood! The same guy Laura cheated on and chose Seth over!Adrenaline rushes through his veins down his loins, his dick jerking in his pants. He can't recall the last time he was kissed. His body is reacting strangely. His blood is suddenly boiling. It's a

    "And what exactly does that mean?" Dani snarls coldbloodedly, trembling in rage."Well," Lucian shrugs nonchalantly, a sinister grin on the corners of his lips. "I believe you are not deaf and heard me loud and clear! But in case you don't have common knowledge to comprehend then I meant that we are not done here until I say we are! "You can never barge into my apartment, scatter things, and then leave without making up for them! I call the shots now buddies!" He detaches from the wall and gently begins making his way to them whilst saying cheekily with his hands still in his pockets, "You know, all I wanted to ask from you two was compensation for everything you've scattered, but then I realized I'd be going against my principles if I just got that and let you guys go. R-""What the heck are you talking about, punk?! See, we don't have time for this chit-chat! Go straight to the point or get the hell out of our way!" Mickey impatiently snaps at Lucian.Yet, if he said anything, Luc

    "First and foremost, there is nothing like heroes! The world is nothing like the movies and novels you watch and read. It's far more intense," he pauses and tilts his head as if in thoughts and after a while shrugs his shoulders as he says, "Well, even if there are indeed heroes in this world, someone as useless as you will never be one, so wake up from that ridiculous nightmare. Lastly, I can't answer that question in the way you probably wish because I can never be in your shoes. Never! "See, punk, you may be more powerful in martial arts than we are, but we are more powerful in wealth! This is the 21st century! And you should know money speaks volumes more than everything else! So, if you dare lay a finger on us, you should have it at the back of your mind that our families will not let you get away with it! You're just a riffraff; how will you survive it if that happens?"A menacing glint flashes in Lucian's eyes as he asks, "So it's normal for you two to harm others because you

    Tension. It is building. Mickey is so tense that his lips are quivering. He thinks he is in a delicate position right now. One he has never found himself in before. His heart is pounding incessantly. He is the Scion of his family. The next in line to take over as the head of the family in the nearest future. And as such he has always been a prideful person who considers himself to be high and mighty.His ego is as high as the sky and as big as the ocean. It is extremely difficult for him to lower himself to kneel and beg. He has never done that before. Don't think he can.Also, he has dreamt of having kids of his own. That is; when he decides he's had enough of being a Playboy and decides to settle down. But how can he achieve that if he renders himself sterile? The requests are preposterous. He can't see himself doing them. "No," he mouths and shakes his head."Are you saying no that you don't want Dani's fate because you will do as I want, or are you saying no that you won't do

  • The Formidable Heir   HORROR!

    Mickey, who'd been about to take a step, freezes in shock. "What are you talking about? Didn't I pay you for my freedom just now?!" He asks loudly and somewhat rudely."What freedom?" Lucian looks at him with a tilt of his head. "I don't know what you are talking about because as far as I can remember, you only compensated me for everything you guys scattered in my apartment. How does that relate to freedom?"Mickey feels like he is about to crazy. What?! Is he being serious right now?! He runs his hands through his hair and glares at Lucian contemptuously. "Don't be sly!" He snarls. "I told you how we could settle the problem at hand by me offering you money and asked you if you are willing to accept it and you said sure. How then can you be saying this? Don't try to joke with me!""You asked if I was willing to accept the money and I told you "sure, why won't I?" But before you handed the card to me, did you ask if I was willing to let you off as well? No, you didn't!"You freely off

  • The Formidable Heir   WATCH OUT, MICKEY!

    Take them. There are sudden voices in his head. Lucian does not who or what they are. But their voices are deafeningly loud in his head. They keep whispering those words; "Take them. Take them." He doesn't know what is happening to him, but each time they whisper those words, he feels a torrent of rage surge through him. His fists and jaws are clenched. His eyes are cold. So cold that it is causing Dani a few steps away from him to shiver.And he exudes a deathly aura. It's more like he suddenly transformed into Thanatos, the God of death. Dani and Mickey have their hearts in their hands."Mickey," Dani whispers, patting him on both cheeks to wake him up. It's quite amusing that after all of Mickey's arrogance, he couldn't stand a kick from Lucian and fainted immediately after he landed on the floor. "Wake up! Wake up!" Dani increases the patting on his cheeks."Hurts," After like five minutes, Mickey slowly blinks open his eyes and moans out in pain.Dani grimaces. "You act so much

  • The Formidable Heir   IN YOUR DREAMS!

    Screams. That is all over the room. Mickey can't stop screaming. He has just had his second wrist broken. He is in so much pain.His face is scrunched up and he is drenched in sweat. He doesn't look like the usual arrogant Mickey anymore. He is in a pitiful state."I told you to willingly do it, but you chose to follow Dani! See, he ran for safety and left you behind. Is this who you call a friend? Is this who you listen to?" Lucian says icily as he begins prowling toward Mickey."No, don't come any closer. Don't come any closer!" Mickey cries out hysterically, crawling backward with each step Lucian takes.Seeing that Lucian is immersed in getting to Mickey and that that has made the entrance door clear for him to run, Dani smiles widely. Yes! He got all he wanted all along. Who said he doesn't bear grudges as he told Mickey? Of course, he does!Mickey could have begged for their freedom, but he chose to be selfish and beg for his alone. That was why he decided to come up with a plan

  • The Formidable Heir   DON'T GO ANY FURTHER!

    Betrayal. That intoxicating feeling. It is overwhelming Mickey. It is almost restricting his airflow. "To think I believed he held no grudges against me! To think I trusted him with my life! Ah! That rascal tried to leave without me! He toyed with my head! He toyed with our years of friendship! He fucking betrayed me! He fucking did!" As he curses bitterly, he sobs. He appears to be emotionally downcast. Why wouldn't he be?He grew up with Dani. Learned to eat with him. Learned bathing with him. Learned to dress with him. Learned to fight with him. Everything he has ever done, he did with Dani!Yes, he forgot to beg for his freedom when begging Lucian earlier, but that doesn't mean he had the intention of leaving him there forever. He had only wanted to leave so that he would go get his family henchmen and come back! He was never going to leave Dani to death! He sucks his teeth and wipes his tears.Now, he is realizing how much of a fool he is to have believed Dani. When Lucian told h

  • The Formidable Heir   

    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

  • The Formidable Heir   

    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

    I'M SORRY!

    "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. "This

    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
