"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
Meanwhile, outside the lobby, Dani, the pioneer of everything going down today, has managed to keep himself from falling into the clutches of Sparrow, who is hell-bent on capturing and killing him at all costs! He has put in his all to escape and is now only a few steps away from the gate!One might be wondering how that is possible. Like, how is it possible that a whole Sparrow can't even catch up with small Dani?! Well, it shouldn't be forgotten that no matter how it is seen, Dani is still no ordinary guy. This is because, despite the fact that he is yet to achieve any extraordinary feat, it doesn't dispute the fact that he is a trained martial artist! One trained by Shadow himself! And so has exceptional skills, one of which happens to be his speed. He is extraordinarily fast! His speed might be nothing to be compared with Lucian's, but for someone like Sparrow, it's not so far off from his! Naturally, if Dani and Sparrow had taken off at the same time, Sparrow would have easily
Sparrow's voice is so loud that it reverberates all over the place. This is because Sparrow had put a touch of his energy into his voice to make it loud enough as he doesn't want any excuses! He doesn't want a scenario whereby the security officials will tell him that they didn't hear him, which is why they didn't do as he ordered. Nah, he doesn't want that in any way as all his hope is on them!He necessarily doesn't need them to stop Dani, like, grab him or anything, no, all he wants is just for them to stand in Dani's way and delay him for as long as possible. In that way, he will catch up to them, grab Dani and kill him!Putting one's energy into his or her voice is something common among martial artists. It's not something too extraordinary or stunning as they only channel the same energy they use in fighting into their vocal cords, which deepen and broaden them, causing their voices to come out deeper and louder than they initially would when they speak.It's just like in movies,
"What do you two think you are doing blocking my path?!" Dani is taken aback by their sudden appearance. His jaw drops and his eyes dilate as he instantly halts dead in his tracks and tilts his head, growling dangerously, "What's the meaning of this?! Have you two gone nuts?!" "You ask so many questions at a time, Mr. Young, which should we answer first?" One of the security guards, a young tall burly man with ripping muscles and abs in his late twenties or early thirties, asks in a jeering tone and raises a brow cockily at him. Dani is once again taken aback! His jaw plunges to so many degrees! Ah! Is this security guard being impolite and cocky to him? How dare he? Like, what gave him the impetus? Doesn't he know who he is?! Hah! Thick veins pop out from every part of his body and he clenches his teeth and fists, his eyes darkening. He so much wants to bark at the security guard and beat him within an inch of his life for replying to him so impolitely and acting cockily to him but
BOOM!Dani feels like a bell has gone off in his ears. It goes off so loud that he can barely hear or discern his surrounding any longer! "What?!" He shudders explicitly, shocked to his bones! He shouldn't have been astonished, shouldn't have been horrified, and shouldn't have been taken aback.But for the first time in his life, he can't help himself. It seems like at this moment, his feelings and emotions have a mind of their own. One he has no control over. Although he'd suspected this to be the case after Death Pool introduced himself, it was all still mere speculation and had yet to be proven true, so he held onto a sliver of hope that the fact Death Pool and the other guard stopped him was all a coincidence, it had nothing to do with Sparrow, and he wasn't in any deep shit.But hearing the security guard confirm the same thoughts he was trying so hard not to believe to be true, knocked the sliver of hope away and rendered him speechless.Ah! He's frozen in shock, covered with g
"No," At Sparrow's words and the sight of him getting closer and closer to him, Dani stiffens, his face filled with fear, and his lips quivering in terror. "That can't be the case! I can't be the one losing! I can't! And he can't get to me! "He can't! I'll be done for if he does! He can't reach me!" He babbles exuberantly to himself whilst trembling explicitly. But in the blink of an eye, he stops trembling, his terrified visage darkens and he swiftly turns to look at Death Pool with a dark glint in his eyes, swallowing a lump of spittle and saying contemptuously, "Death Pool, for the record, this is the first time we are meeting! And as far as I can remember, I've never offended you before and didn't offend you right now either! Why then are you stopping me from leaving for no probable reason? Why?!" He grits his teeth."Hmph! Rubbish! Total rubbish!" Death Pool snorts coldly and glares hostilely at him before retorting icily, "Unless you chose to be dumb, you should know why I'm
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
