The time for Lucas's training was fast approaching. He had calculated the remaining days left for him to start, so he had sought permission ahead in his office. He didn't want to disappear without any prior notification, because he didn't want to get his loved ones worried. He informed Justin and Bobby and they wished him well. It was only Lilly who did not take the news well. She didn't react initially, because he thought it was one of Lucas's jokes, but she flared up when she realized he was serious." You must be kidding me, you want to leave me for nearly two weeks!?", Lilly exclaimed.Lucas swallowed his laugh. He could not believe the dramatic adult standing before him. If a stranger heard her, they would have thought he was leaving his wife behind." stop being dramatic, Lilly. Before you know it, two weeks would have elapsed", he said to the drama queen." I'm being dramatic? You are the only close pal I have in this city, and I will be lonely without you, so don't tell me I'm
The twins were at the corner watching Lucas's inner battle. They were proud of him for his ability to control his inner self. Every human should have power over his inner battle. A forest would not be readily available whenever he had his episode, so they had to use that method on him. The method would make him conquer his inner battle whenever he was angry. This would also reduce the number of casualties within his vicinity. There was no way they could allow him to keep destroying things as a result of his anger, so they deduced the method, and they were happy it worked.They carried Lucas inside the house to treat him. He was burning with high temperature, so they used soaked cloth to massage his body. Asher instructed his brother to prepare food for Lucas so that he could eat it when he woke up. He trained on an empty stomach, and he needed food to replenish his energy. He needed energy to complete his failed task.Lucas woke up with his head banging with a headache. After stretchi
Lucas hurriedly got up from his sleep at the sound of his alarm. He had set the alarm to wake up before the twins. He wanted to break the record. But he was weakened emotionally when he saw Asher smiling at him when he was up. He looked around to search for Archer, and to God be the grace, he was also present in the room." No, I won't take this. This is called cheating. How could you guys wake up before me and come to my room at these wee hours? It's not yet Dawn for crying out loud. You are my master, yet you are cheating me", Lucas feigned being hurt by his master's actions.The smile on the brothers wiped off instantly and it was replaced with serious postures." Are you guys being serious right now? Why do you have soldiers looking at your face, it's not even yet Dawn"? Lucas voiced out." What was your plan for waking up earlier than the stated time? Are you planning to start filling the pots before we come out? If that is not considered cheating, then what is that?", Archer sai
Lucas had a strange feeling that some creators had arrived at their doorstep. He got up from his deep sleep and went outside to check." Your intuition is now sharp, that's a great improvement", A beautiful old woman complimented him as he stepped out of the temple." You are right, James, our Lucas has improved", another man said smiling." I told you how great my great grand-son is, but you thought I was bluffing. Now you can see for yourself.", James said proudly." See those strong muscles, they are enticing. Had it been he was born during our time, I would have married him", the second woman said jokingly." Then he would have had me to contend with", the second man after James said.Lucas watched as they joked within themselves. He could only recognize James, but he didn't know the rest."Through your look, I can tell that you are confused. Welcome young warlock, I'm happy to finally meet you. You have read about us, but you don't recognize us, that's a shame", the beautiful old
Albert, who was a spy planted at Rowland's pharmaceutical company, had been bitter since his two plans failed. He failed to present Lilly to his father and Lucas was also vindicated even after all his attempts to frame him. His plan to turn Bobby against also took another turn, because the relationship between Lucas and Bobby waxed stronger before Lucas went for his trip. All other colleagues were even jealous of their relationship. Those who had created unnecessary hatred for Lucas then had begun to love him more than before. This made Albert more restless.After he had seen that Lucas went on a trip, he made it his plan to make friends with Lilly. He was still hell-bent on presenting Lilly to Lucifer to earn his trust. The event when he was suspended from work after his attempt to implicate Lucas was not made public, so Lilly was not aware. Although the second crime he used to frame Lucas was made public, nobody knows that he was the real culprit.Lilly had no real friends except Lu
As soon as Lucas left the house, Lilly rushed to close the door. Her mind was not settled, but she was praying nothing happened to Lucas. Lucas went to meet the chaos in Rowland's Mansion. He stood at the entrance to study what was happening, but he had already called the police with a hidden number to inform them about the attack.Albert, Tiger, and some other high-ranked gang members had fled the scene before Lucas reached the mansion. Lucas used magic to trap some other men he met inside the compound, but he did not enter the house until the police arrived.He was surprised when he recognized some men that were captured by the police, they were the men that beat him up the night he rescued Lilly. Jasper was one of the men captured, and he recognized Lucas immediately when he sighted him. He opened his mouth in surprise because they all thought the man who disrupted their plan was dead. If they knew he was alive, they would have gotten him killed.The injured men among the bodyguar
Lucas approached Albert and he pretended to fall while Knocking him off on his injured leg. Albert did not expect the hit, so he was off the ground in due time. " Oh sorry, I was trying to use you to support myself when I was falling," Lucas said, then he offered him his hand to help him up. While helping him, his hand brushed the long-sleeve shirt Albert put on, just to reveal the tattoo on his hand." What a nice tattoo you have there, Albert! Can I snap it?, I would like to have the same design", Lucas said while he brought out his phone to snap the tattoo. Before he could snap the picture, Albert had covered it with his clothes." I'm sorry, you can't. This tattoo is meant for a purpose. If you want a tattoo, they have different designs in their place, so you can get it.", Albert said trying to hurriedly leave the scene to avoid further questioning. Before he could leave, Lucas threw him another question." What purpose does it serve, if I may ask", Lucas studied him thoroughly,
" Welcome Lucas, I can see a king in the making." Joy greeted him." What a great way of welcoming someone. I will take that as a compliment, my sister" Lucas replied." Hmmm, sister? I like the sound of that" Joy said happily." We are related one way or the other. Do you have anything for me?"Lucas asked. He believed Joy might have a serious message to pass to him." Nothing, Your Highness. I believe you will know better than me by now, after the rigorous training you went through.", Joy said, because she knew Lucas was trained by spirits, the four legends, the moment she walked closer to him. She said "Your Highness" in a whisper, so no one could hear." I am aware of that, but that doesn't mean you can't have any message for me. I am not Mr ' know all'. Moreover, a warlock cannot rule without his witch, so your service and help will always be needed. Mind you, I thought I had warned you not to use formality for me in public", Lucas asked, getting annoyed." I'm sorry, but I can't
Everybody rose at once, including the president. The president moved forward to shake hands with him, but Lucas remained puzzled. He was perplexed with the warm welcome, but he honorably walked round the conference room to shake each delegate's present. The president with his cabinet had smiles on their faces and they didn't hide how happy they were to meet him.A middle-aged man had his jaw dropped since the time Lucas entered and the shock didn't wipe off until Lucas got to his side.“ Good evening sir, you looked surprised to see me. I hope there is no problem” Lucas asked as he shook hands with the man.“ Yeah, I'm completely overwhelmed and I have a thousand reasons to be. This resemblance is just too much that I can't even fathom how we didn't realize it till this moment. You are highly welcome, son of grace” He said, then he faced the other cabinet who had gone back to their seats.“ If you observe very closely, this is James Armstrong in flesh and blood. Why haven't we noticed
As they drove through the busy road in the dark, many thoughts ran through Lucas's mind, “ What will my fate be when I get to the NSM office? Will I be punished? Will my identity be revealed? What excuse should I give for unsheathing the sword?”He wasn't worried about the condition at home on how to handle Albert's issue and the announcement of Justin's death to the public, because he trusted Alex to deal with that.He remembered when he visited the museum with Alex two days ago. Their father knew little about magic and he hadn't explained some of their family history to Alex, so he took it upon himself to enlighten him. They bought tickets and Lucas started explaining the existence and benefits of some artifacts to him. Although Alex was older, apart from the western knowledge, all he knew was business and Mafia dealings.They were about to round up their tour in the Museum when Lucas got to the door where James’ picture was engraved with the ancestral sword. He smiled when he went
Lucas rushed to Justin's side, he raised his head and sat behind his back. He rubbed his chest with his hand I'm order to relieve him of his cough. Although Justin's shirt was filled with blood, Lucas didn't mind. He rubbed the soaked shirt until Justin stopped coughing.Justin's cough stopped but his breathing was uneven. He found it difficult to form a whole sentence, so he just whispered in Lucas's ear, “ Please take me home urgently and make sure Albert and Joy followed us back to the mansion. Call your wife attention back to us please, she is disoriented about the new revelation”He managed to order Lucas after some minutes of break-in each word. Lucas wanted to question him about the new revelation, but he thought against it. His main focus was to take Justin home safely.“ Hey baby, come and help me carry dad on my back.” Lucas said to Lilly who was still lost in thought about the news of her unknown pregnancy.Her mind was somewhere else, so she was confused if she should hug
The dragon landed on the ground, then it covered the two brothers with its wings.“ Why would the Young warlock lay in a pool of blood like this? Why did he wait to be this injured before I could be summoned?” It questioned AlexThe dragon took a good look at Lucas, then it noticed he was unconscious. “ How did I get summoned if he was unconscious, I came because I saw his signature”Alex became paranoid, but he spoke up. “I rubbed the ancestral sword with his blood, that's how I was able to summon you” he answered.“ Oh! That's so thoughtful of you. You are just as smart as your mother. Let's check his wound then”The dragon started licking the wound. It licked all the blood on his heart. When it was satisfied that everything was clean, it spit on the wound.“ Let's give him some time to heal, he will be back to life. You should be grateful you summoned me on time, because the effect of the coated dagger hadn't reached his soul yet. Where is the monster?” The dragon asked “ I don't
Alex paced back and forth in his living room, while other family members sat down quietly expecting order from him. He became restless when he hadn't received any call from Lucas. He expected him to have gotten home and heard the situation of Joy's kidnap from his father-in-law, then put a call across to him, but he got nothing.He was running out of patience, because he was the one controlling Albert from jumping out of the house to meet his father.“ Are we still waiting for him? I'm losing my patience already. Don't try to stop me if I step out of this place” Albert shouted.“ Sorry, let me call his wife” Alex dialed Lilly's number, then it was picked instantly. “ Hi Alex, hope nothing is wrong with my husband” Lilly asked, as if she had been expecting his call.Alex was confused and everybody in the room became alert. He increased the volume of his phone for them to hear his conversation with Lilly.“ I don't understand what you are talking about. It's almost three hours since Lu
Lucas sighed heavily as he got to Rowland's mansion, he didn't know the kind of panel he would face when he entered. After a few seconds, he summoned courage to enter.As he opened the door, he was ambushed by his wife, Justin and Marie. Scared of their thorough questioning, he decided to start explaining himself, “ I'm sorry I didn't come home last night. I was with Alex discussing some important things before I lost the track of time, so I decided to sleep over. Please forgive me for making you worried, guys” he apologized.Lilly rolled her eyes and hissed. Her face was sad and she reluctantly went back to sit as if she wasn't expecting him.Scared that his wife wasn't ready to forgive him, he apologized again. “ Baby, I'm sorry please, this mistake will never repeat itself again”Justin and Marie also went back to their seat silently as his wife. Before he could say another word, Justin's voice stopped him.“ Joy has been kidnapped by Jeffrey and he demanded I come to a specific lo
“ My Joy, in trouble? Wha..what did the caption say?” Albert stammered.“ Okay, let me check…It says; come to this specific location if you want your daughter alive. Failure to do so in the next forty-eight hours, her corpse will be sent to you” “ How did she get captured? She is a great witch for goodness sake, how?” Albert yelled, then he threw his phone across the room.Alex hurried to his side, then he found forced him to sit down.“ You have to calm down. We will think of…” His statement was cut short by Albert's ringing tone.He dashed to pick up the almost shattered phone, but he was met with silence from the other end.“ Hello! Who is this please?” Still with no response, he lost his patience.“ If you can't speak, then get the hell away from me and don't try to call this number ever again” He screamedHis scream sounded like a joke to the caller, as the person bursted into a maniac laugh.“ Hello boy. You sounded so tough earlier on the phone, why is your voice shaking? Is t
“ Goodbye Lucifer!” As Lucifer heard these words from his son, he became furious. He knew he had lost his son forever but he wasn't ready to give up.“ No matter what it takes, I must get this boy to be on my side.” He thought, then he switched his attention back to Xavier, who was still on the phone with him.“ I don't know how you want to do it, but you must get my company back. Use any method possible to regain back my money from those scumbags. If you fail to give me any positive report, I will have your head on a platter” He threatened, then he disconnected the call “ Haa!, This can't be! How could someone successfully dupe me without any stress? Have I lost my power and sense of reasoning because of my lost arm? Why didn't I see this coming? Damn!” He hit his left hand on the wall before he remembered it's an artificial arm.“ Ouch! Shit! Shit! I will never accept defeat. I can't go down like this, I must do something. Justin has to let go of this dark magic by force. Snake! Sn
“ Good morning Mr Albert, Adrian and his team are waiting for us downstairs. Shall we go now?” Albert closed his laptop and he smiled, “Sure, let's go”Although he didn't know what Alex and Lucas's plan was, he still put his trust in them. Xavier and Albert drove in Albert's car. They followed Adrian’s car , then he led them to the Oil grill location.“ This will be your first project as the CEO of Robinson's Company, your father will be very proud of you” Albert looked at Xavier and he shook his head, “ I wouldn't want to take all the compliments and the glory, because most of the work was done by you. Robinson's Company is very lucky to have a dedicated manager like you, keep it up.”Adrian’s car moved at a high speed because the location of the oil grill was far. They drove for about an hour before they got to a high fence with a gigantic gate at the entrance. This fence encompasses a olarge expanse of land located at the outskirt of the city.Adrian parked his car in front of
