Sparrow feels like he wants to vomit blood! Did that old cargo just refer to Shadow as a proud fool? Like, did he really just do that?! "How dare you?!" Not being able to hold back his rage, he glares at Mr. Young contemptuously and hollers menacingly! "Ah!" He roughly pulls on his hair, his breath raspy. "I-""Save it!" Mr. Young coldly cuts him off before he can continue. "I don't want to hear any of your nonsense, so shove it up your damn ass!"I said what I said! And I'm neither sorry for saying it, nor am I taking my words back! You can be angry for all I care, but that doesn't change the fact that Shadow was a fool! A very big one at that! "If he wasn't, he would have been alive right now! I said it and there's nothing you or anyone else can do about it! By the way, as a leader, you should better learn how to get a grip on your emotions and think with your head, not your heart! You're far too emotional and frail!""Shut up! Shut the hell up, you old jerk! My ear stings from the
"Hale Howard, you weren't this bold the last time we met, it's quite surprising to see that you've grown a lot of balls in just a few weeks," Mr. Young says sarcastically with a wide jeering grin on his face and chuckles dryly, seemingly not bothered in the slightest by what Mr. Howard just said! "That's quite great yunno," After chuckling for a while, he continues. "But from your action just now, I can see you've only gained courage while remaining as dumb as you've always been! Hah! It still leaves me bewildered each time I remember that a moron like you has been leading the Howards for so many years now and has managed to get them to be amongst the five first-rate families!"I'll be a liar if I don't say I'm not often forced to think that your wife or chief butler must be behind everything and you are nothing but a mere ceremonial head! Because if that's not the case, how then would a Patriarch like you have done what you just did?"Just a few seconds ago, you rushed down here wit
"Hahaha," Smoke laughs. "Mr. Young, is this all you've got?" He snorts coldly and shakes his head in obvious disappointment. "I'm sorry to say this but if it is, then you are nothing but a learner and much dumber than I imagined! Hah! So much for a wolf! You are actually nothing! A total dumbhead with nothing upstairs! Like, did you think saying that would scare us? "Hmph! If I'm precise, you and Parker got the chance to ambush our remaining comrades at Gloves & Glory because we are not there, right?"Now, think about this; Parker left his school with the best of his artists to go to ours, doesn't that mean he left his school vulnerable to any attack? Also, you left your family Mansion and are here with us, you must have also sent your best men to help Parker, right? Of course! That must be why you came with only this amount of men. Since that is the case, I want to ask you, doesn't the actions you took in a feat to defeat us mean your family is also left vulnerable to any attack?"Mr
Death Pool hisses at Mr. Young's question without bothering to respond. That old swine thinks he has everything planned out and that he is the King here! Today, he and his comrades will show him that he is nothing!They will teach him a lesson he would never forget! And also use this as a medium to send a clear warning to those who harbor evil intents against them that they are not to be trifled with! A flicker of determination flashes across his face. He instantly goes on to unlock his phone and moves to his contacts, scrolling through for Mr. Jennings's number.But how can Mr. Young stand by and watch such a thing happen? How can he let all his plan be thrown down the drain just like that? "Hah! If you dare make that call, Death Pool, I'll have my men send those messages!" With bloodshot eyes, he stamps his foot on the floor and threatens coldly."They haven't sent the texts yet?" Before Death Pool can respond, Smoke asks and raises a brow, pretending to be shocked. "Hah, I thought t
"Dream on!" Mr. Young hisses haughtily! "A group of twenty or more of you are not worthy to have me plead with you, let alone kneel to you! Hah! I can see you are bold enough to demand this because you can manage to get Parker scampering back to his school in a few minutes even if I tell him to attack your comrades, but don't forget I have my men there as well!"Even if you call Jake to attack and Parker is left with no other option but to scurry back to his base, my men over there can still handle the destruction of Gloves & Glory! In the end, whether you call Jake or not, you will still suffer severe losses!""Hahaha, you said we are not worthy for you to plead with us, but don't forget you pleaded with me just now, or have you forgotten so soon?" Spider mocks viciously and laughs out loud."Don't mind the old swine, brother, I guess we've frustrated him to the point where he forgets things easily now," Smoke jeers. "By the way," he casts a cold stare at Mr. Young and sneers. "You me
"Hahaha, that's so hilarious!" To the shock of Smoke and everyone else, instead of Mr. Young being terrified at what Smoke just said, he chuckles nonchalantly and gazes at Smoke as if he's gazing at the biggest fool that has ever graced the face of the earth. "My relatives have been held captive by Leon? Hahaha," he laughs even harder to the point that tears begin streaming down his cheeks.For several minutes, the sound of his laugh is the only thing reverberating all over the place. And so it continues for more than ten minutes before he finally stops laughing, wipes his eyes, and says smugly, "Forgive me for laughing so much, but what you said was so amusing! At least, if you want to lie, you should put in some effort to make it look convincing, or you don't try to lie at all!"I'm not saying everything you said is a lie though. Of course, there is a hundred percent possibility that you could speak to Leon. After all, everyone knows you saved his life years ago. But, as you can see
"Ah!" Sparrow can't help but gasp in shock as he turns to meet Mr. Young's gaze after sneering at him only to see that the man is suddenly drenched in a puddle of sweat and frozen dead on the spot as if he were a statue! And if that is not enough, he seems not to have heard anything he said and the most shocking part is that the phone that was in his hand a few minutes ago is no longer in his hand, but on the floor, shattered beyond recognition!"Hah! Mr. Young, what's going on? Why are you looking so horrified? And why is your phone shattered on the floor? Wait," he pauses all of a sudden, seemingly like he just remembered something, and the next second, a grin appears on the corners of his lips, his face breaks out in a wide smile and he asks jeeringly, "Could you be this way because you've already discovered that your relatives have been taken captive by Leon?!""How can that be the case?" Spider asks snidely and shrugs his shoulders nonchalantly. "Look at him well enough, Sparrow
The thought of Michael coming back for him and his family leaves him so terrified that he wishes he has the magical power to turn into a bird. If he did, he would have just turned himself into that and flown away till Michael was done with his massacre and tired of looking for him. But then, wishes ain't horses.He sighs dejectedly whilst rubbing his temples. The truth is, Dani knows he has fucked up big time! No matter how it is seen, he knows deep down within him that he is in the wrong! And even though he is trying to cloud his emotions, he can't help but regret his actions. If only he had chosen to pay heed to the little hints Lucian kept giving out regarding his identity, things wouldn't have gotten to this.At least, even though he had fallen out with Lucian, things wouldn't have gotten to this point! He truly messed up. He knows he did!"If Mr. Michael said he is coming, then we have to run! We have to leave Aurora immediately!" Mr. Young suddenly exclaims in tremor, snapping D
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
