Ah! Yvonne flies in panic and scurries away, barely finishing cleaning his hands. She can't afford to be joined in the beating. She is still a young girl who hasn't done much of anything. She can't afford to die now!However, at this juncture, while Yvonne is still in a panic, Chad Kennedy's Rolls-Royce Phantom pulls over in front of the company's gate, and Chad Kennedy gets out of the car and begins making his way into the company."There appears to be a brawl going on, Mr. Kennedy," a tall burly figure, who had dropped down alongside Chad and has been slowly walking behind him, brings to his attention as he walks calmly with his head raised high, exuding a revered aura."A brawl? What exactly is the situation?" Chad inquires, apprehensively. Lucian had left him to come to this company. He can't help but feel a thud in his heart. He hopes it is not what he is thinking. As a mere ordinary man, he had noticed a brawl was going on! Would he be walking all high if he knew of such a thing?
Is this punk insane or what? Chad Kennedy is about to explode. Is my young master a joke to you, punk?He furiously turns to Yvonne and barks, "Woman, is this how your subordinates describe their boss to others?! Seeing his composure and courage, he must hold a high position in the company, right? Tell me, are all your high level staff this outrageous?!"Chad Kennedy is about to lose his temper, and Yvonne can tell. She dashes over to him to explain. She can't afford to have him lash out his anger at her!"I swear it's not like that, Mr. Chad. And this man is no longer employed by this company! I'm not sure what he's still doing here!""Is that the case?" He raises his brow. "You fired him?""I did per se, but Mr. Wood gave the instruction.""Oh," Chad mouths his reply. Young master Hutton hasn't gotten into his office yet but he is already issuing orders! A true Hutton indeed!"Yvonne, why don't you give Chad a rundown of everything that has happened?" Lucian says and sneers as he
"No, you can't do that, Mr. Wood! You are being far too vicious!""I'm being far too vicious? Really?" Lucian frowns deeply, exuding a menacing aura. "So you weren't being far too vicious when you told Zander to kill me and that nothing will happen if he does? You weren't being far too vicious when you pushed me and I nearly fell?"You weren't being far too vicious when you asked those dogs over there to drag me away?" He points to the two guards who had tried to drag him away earlier but were forced to stop when Yvonne arrived."You weren't also being far too vicious when you made Zander order his second in command to slap Yvonne, but I managed to deter him?"His eyes turn bloodshot and his body begins shaking in rage. "Punk, I should be paying you in your coins! But here I am being generous to you! Yet you ain't grateful at all!"If you want to know what being vicious is, I can show you! I'll not only have you killed but your family too! Perhaps, you will prefer it if I have the bu
Zander has a scowl on his face. Is this how Benjamin will die? His fists are clenched. But what can he possibly do? He can only seethe!Benjamin's face is now as pale as a sheet, seemingly like he has no blood in his body. He has stopped struggling as he feels so weakened and is gagging for air.His eyes are slowing shutting and he is on the verge of passing out! Never in his life did he think this was the way he was going to die.Tears are streaming down his cheeks. His last moments are full of regret.However, Lucian might be a bit ruthless but not to the extent of killing Benjamin in cold blood. Besides, he prefers his enemies to live and suffer! He loves to dominate!How will he accomplish this if he kills every enemy he encounters? He wishes to inscribe his name into their souls, causing them to shiver whenever they hear his name and to live a life full of regret."Let him go, big guy," Lucian says at the very last moment, just as Benjamin begins spewing whitish foamy substances
Since his Young Master thinks so, Chad naturally has no desire to argue. He is the boss! And his thought can't be argued by a mere subordinate like him.He presses on his phone for a few moments before returning his gaze to Lucian. "Mr. Wood, he did so many heinous things! "But he, however, had hidden accomplices. Many of these middle and high-level staff were in the act with him."If he is going down, those involved should follow as well. What do you think? Should I go ahead and forward the list to the cops?"Lucian briefly gazes at the people and back at him. "Yes, forward all their names to the cops. Every man should carry his cross!""No, Mr. Wood!""Please, don't do this!""You've already sacked us!""Please suffer us no more! We have families to take care of! Please!" ...Those guilty out of self-consciousness drop to their knees and begin begging, tears streaming down their cheeks."Hmph!" Lucian snorts coldly. "After ridiculing me, you have the guts to plead for my mercy?" W
As the cops drag them away, all of the employees are visibly sobbing. Their emotion is at their peak and they can't help but pour it all out. Amidst them is Benjamin, who is not only sobbing but shaking."Miss Xavier, please help me! Please help me!" He can't stop yelling.It gets so much that the cop dragging him has to hit him on the head with the baton in his hand to snap him out lest he causes a nuisance and starts garnering the attention of passersby. As this is a discreet operation, the cop certainly can't afford to let such a thing happen so using an extra measure, albeit harsh, was necessary.In no time, the more than 150 employees are successfully dragged into the trucks and the trucks are immediately closed and bolted from the outside to avoid unintended incidents such as unwarranted escape."I'll take my leave now, Mr. Kennedy," the sheriff, albeit reluctantly as he knew he had incurred Chad's wrath earlier, nods at him before turning and walking away.As one-quarter of the
Lucian looks down at every one of them and shrugs nonchalantly. "Except for you two who dragged me earlier, you who tried to slap Yvonne, and you, Zander, the rest can leave! "Remember, everything that happened here today should be kept confidential! You don't know who I am, and I don't know who you are! You can get out now! You've been fired!""Thank you very much, Mr. Wood.""Thank you!""Thank you!"They exclaim, stand, and scurry away without looking back. They feel like they've just escaped hell!Hah! They're so happy that they don't care that they just lost their jobs. Fortunately, Zander's second in command is among those let go by Lucian. He happens to be the most overjoyed!Lucian looks down at the two security guards who had dragged him earlier and a deep scowl appears on his face. "How brazen of you two to kneel and plead for mercy! Because you didn't know my identity and thought me a pauper, you two kept on dragging me!"While you were doing that, you tossed my suit and wr
SLASH!"Ah!"The slashing of the lackey's hand right from his elbow and his cry of anguish bellow!THUD!The full hand drops to the ground and begins scampering. It appears to still be alive.SPUTUM!SPUTUM!Blood gushes out of the lackey's barely hanging shoulder, piling up on the floor.The acidic scent of blood fills the air! At this point, no one cares about the fact that he is naked from his waist down.Yvonne and the remaining ten employees are staring at this scene in horror."Urgh.""Urgh.""Urgh."Yvonne and five of the remaining employees begin vomiting. They seem to have a phobia for blood. It turns their stomach to the point where they can't stop vomiting up everything they've eaten. Yvonne had almost vomited on Lucian, but fortunately, he had seen through her on time and moved far away!The burly figure shakes his head at the sight and tears the lackey's pants into two.He uses one of the pieces to tie up his bleeding barely hanging shoulder. Lucian wants him to live. Ev
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
