"Anyone would have come to this hospital, gotten what they came for, and left without paying me a visit, but you did. That is to show how much you value me, your employee. Thank you so much. I'm grateful."

"It's nothing," Lucian waves her off and stands. "I'm glad you're all right. However, I must depart now. Forget about the bills and recuperate; the company will take care of everything. Also, do not consider returning to work once you have been discharged.

"I'll have Yvonne prepare a leave for you. She will come pick you up once you are discharged and take you home. Your leave will be lasting for two weeks. Rest well and come back to work after that."

The lady's tears freely cascade down her cheeks. He is so kind-hearted. She's never had a boss like him. She makes to stand and kneel to thank him but Lucian quickly holds her back.

"Please," he shakes his head.

"Thank you so much, sir! Thank you!" Since she can't show her appreciation through actions, she says with utmost sincerity.

    A bolt of lightning flashes and thunder roars. It's about to rain. The temperature plummets by so many degrees, causing everywhere to become chilly, and a great drastic wind begins blowing in all directions.Lucian trembles. He has just walked out of the hospital into the cold empty boulevard.It should not be forgotten that he wore Helen his shirt to cover her nakedness, leaving him with only his singlet.His gait is becoming heavy and his teeth are gnashing against each other.He curses inwardly. Where the hell is Chad and the tall burly figure? Did they abandon him here to perish?The rain begins drizzling and yet there is no sign of Chad's car. Lucian is torn between continuing to walk and returning to the hospital. Who knows if the boulevard ahead is safe? No one would want to walk into danger.But he also doesn't want to go back to the hospital now. He hates the scent there. He's never liked hospitals. Never.Now that he is thinking about the hospital, his mind drops to somethin

  • The Formidable Heir   HE IS DAMN HUNGRRYYY!

    Lucian has every right to be angry. He has every right to despise them. Maureen and the paramedics are not surprised that he is being this cold toward them. They know the grave of their crimes. It's not wrong to say that they are quite lucky that they are still alive. It goes on to show how kind-hearted Lucian is.They drop to their knees still clutching the door handle. They are soaked from the rain, but they don't seem to care. They must have a motive."Please, Mr. Wood, we acted out of ignorance. The mistake has already been done and we've been punished. But we seek your forgiveness and hope that if our paths ever cross in the future, you wouldn't judge us for our past. Please all we want is your forgiveness. Please, Mr. Wood!" Maureen bows face flat on the wet boulevard and cries out."Miss Maureen is right, Sir. All we want is your forgiveness.""Yes, please forgive us. We know you've done enough by letting us live even after all we did and said to you. But please forgive us. Plea

    "We are supposed to fly to Washington, DC., Young Master Hutton as per your request but I'm not sure that's possible anymore with the child in your care and the heavy downpour. As of now, we are only trying to leave this remote area back to Breckenridge, Ave.""No need to return to Breckenridge, Ave. Not at all. Do you want to kill me, Chad?" He grits his teeth and curses incoherently, clutching his belly tightly. "Ah!" He groans out. His stomach feels like it's about to be ripped apart. The worms are not taking it easy with him."Are you alright, Young Master Hutton?" Chad hastily turns and asks, staring softly at him."I'm not alright, Chad! Can't you see? I'm hungry! Like, I'm fucking starving! My stomach feels like it's about to be ripped apart. The worms in my belly are feeding on my intestines. It hurts so badly."Chad hastily picks up his phone in a panic. How can he sit here and watch his Young Master die of starvation? What will he tell Mr. Michael? Will he tell him that hun

  • The Formidable Heir   IS IT REALLY A DREAM?

    In a Regal palace made of pure gold and luxurious accessories, a little boy is sitting on an elevated throne amongst nine Lords. It's the Ocean Lords! He is sitting on a throne higher than that of the Ocean Lords! Just like them, he has a golden crown on his head and is dressed in royal apparel. But the only difference is that while their apparels and crowns are plain there are Python symbols at the back of his apparel and in the front of his crown. This seems to signify his status as the formidable Python Lord!He sits leisurely with his leg crossed, his appearance exuding elegance and sovereignty.The Ocean Lords are staring at him with admiration and respect. He is but a seven years old lad yet he has done things and accomplished feats most people can only dream of doing or accomplishing. He has achieved feats even they can't dream of achieving. He is the Python Lord. The Lord of Lords!Even for formidable figures like them, being in his presence is an honor.There is a friendly

  • The Formidable Heir   HE IS GOING CRAZY!

    Having decided on that, Chad dishes the food and hurries back to the room, straight to Lucian who has been expectantly waiting, and extends the pasta bowl of food to him.Lucian beams as if he's just won a lottery, as soon as Chad passes to him the pasta bowl full of more beef and vegetable fried rice. He hastily takes it from him and digs in.Just like in the first, in less than five minutes, Lucian also finishes the food, and this time, he feels like he has eaten something. He, however, desires some more, but for some reasons, he refrains from asking for that and instead, requests a glass of water.One of the reasons is the simple fact that he doesn't want Chad to think he is a glutton. He had only eaten that much because he was too hungry. And still wants more because that hunger hasn't been entirely quenched. Anyone in his shoes would be as much hungry as he is, or even more!"Are you positive you want only water, Young Master Hutton?" Chad inquires sarcastically, a grin forming

  • The Formidable Heir   GET OUT OF MY APARTMENT

    "Water to wash your hands, Young Master Hutton," Chad's courteous voice infiltrates Lucian's thoughts."Why, old man, do you keep intruding on my thoughts every time I try to think?" Lucian is greatly mortified. He hisses loudly and casts a cold glare at Chad. The old man appears to have no satisfactory answers to his questions yet each time he tries to think and come up with one himself, he distracts him in one way or the other. What is wrong with him? Geez!He stands up and hurls the bowl of water in Chad's hands away, splashing water all over the room! "You are completely inept! Leave before I finish using the restroom!" He howls, his eyes bloodshot and his body exuding a faint feral aura.He briskly walks to his closet and furiously flings it open. After browsing through his clothes for five minutes or more, he picks out a brief, shorts, and a top. He tosses the shorts and top to the bed and strolls into the bathroom with the brief, his face so gloomy. BANG!He slams the bathroom

  • The Formidable Heir   PLEASE DON'T SEND ME AWAY!

    She slapped him twice! Twice! Gosh! Lucian can forgive her for the first but never for the second! She stepped over the line! He will never take it lying down! Never!For a teen who has suffered humiliation and baseless accusations all his life, he sure knows how it feels and he will never be one to take such any longer! Things are different now! He is no longer the poor wretched orphan who anyone could trample upon! No one is allowed to humiliate or berate him, let alone baselessly accuse him! No one! He is so furious! Who gave her the guts?! Ah! He feels like digging a hole through her chest all the way to her back!His blood is boiling."Didn't you hear me or do you want me to repeat myself? Don't tempt me, Helen! Don't! climb down from my damn bed right now and get the hell out! I have a bad temper and you won't like it if you provoke me any further!"Helen jerks in terror and her whole body, including her chest and voice begin to tremble. "Y... you took advantage of me and inste

  • The Formidable Heir   AWW, HE IS SO SWEET!

    Lucian has an incredulous expression as Helen's babbles come to an end. The excuse for the first slap might be quite understandable, but the second? That's gibberish to him!No matter what, she could have been calm and asked questions first! If he was a woman beater and she slapped him ruthlessly that second time for no reasonable reason, did she think she would have had the cheek to say all that? Hmph! He snorts coldly and casts a ferocious glare at her."If you hadn't been spoiled rotten by your parents, I'm sure you'd have had a better temperament and wouldn't have raised your hand to slap someone just because you were timid! You are full of pride and think you can trample on anyone!"I'm sure you've grown accustomed to slapping people over the years because of that pride! It wasn't all about how you felt! I, Lucian, Wood, would never forgive you no matter how you beg! And you must leave my apartment immediately!""Hmph!" Helen scoffs derisively. "You keep shouting I should leave yo

  • 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.

    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
