Elena was pacing back and forth, “ I didn't know that good Samaritan was his father, I would have informed him earlier than today” she lamented.“ It's not your fault, babe. We all thought his father was dead, so how could you have known?” Alex said.“ It's a pity you can't choose your parents, how could I have been related to a heartless man like Lucifer. All he does is to inflict pain on people, and he expects God to make him a king. That man deserves a painful death” Albert said bitterly“ Albert! That's too harsh for someone you called your father. Stop it, please” Elena retorted.“ Coming from someone who murdered her mother because of her excessive control. You don't need to behave like a saint here, Lucifer is worse than Catherina” Albert replied angrily. He knew his statement would hurt Elena but he hated the way she pretended to be holier than thou.“ I can't believe that's coming from a mature man like you, Albert. When will you stop being insensitive? Elena has changed and
Lucas rubbed his eyes and sat upright on the bed, “ What are you talking about?” He feigned ignorance.“ Don't even try to patronize me with that look. You had better start explaining now. Who is Dave?” Lilly glared at him.Lucas knew it's time for him to reveal his true identity to his fiancee, there is no need to hide anything anymore.“ Dave is my friend and my confidant. He has helped me to resolve the most difficult situation I have encountered in my life, so he is very important to me” he answered calmly.“ Okay, why were you murmuring his name in your sleep?” Lilly asked.Lucas looked confused, “ How would I have known what I did while sleeping? The question you just asked is rhetorical, babe.” Lucas said.Lilly shrugged her shoulders when she saw that she was overreacting. She turned her face from Lucas’s deep stare because she didn't want to look like a fool.“ You said earlier that you are a warlord and you can challenge any sorcerer, start explaining what you mean by that.”
“ Good morning Don, how are you?” Tiger welcomed Albert as he entered his father's compound. The Mafia members had been moved from the previous Mafia base into Lucifer's house.“ Don't call me that, I'm no longer the Don. Haven't I warned you before?” Albert responded irritatingly.“ Once a lion is always a lion, my boss” Tiger hailed him more.“ Not in this case, A lion is born a king and cannot be demoted or dethroned. You are the Don now, so maintain the position. Is my father around?” Albert asked“ Yeah, he is inside,” Tiger answered.“ Why did it take you so long to visit me, you always visited my house everyday before. Do you hate your father now” Lucifer asked as he set his eyes on Albert.“ Hate is an understatement, father,” Albert thought.“ You were not a fan of my visit then, meanwhile, I was here last week. Didn't Alfred inform you?” Albert responded.“ Hmm, I think a week is too long to visit your father's house. We can discuss while taking exotic drinks sometimes, like
“ I hope you realized you need to choose a date after your father's rescue, although the date should be after his treatment. He would have suffered a lot in the hands of that monster.” Dave said as he chewed the chicken drumstick he picked from his plate. The four men had gathered in Lucas's house to discuss the progress of their plans. Lucas brought out different delicacies and drinks to entertain them.Lucas shook his head as he saw the condition of his dining table, “ I know I have to choose a date urgently.” He responded to Dave's statement, then he pointed to the plate of creamy salad on the dining table. “ None of you have touched this salad, don't you know eating veggies is good for your health?” He said.“ You are the only health practitioner among us, you can as well finish it up. I'm not a fan of veggies, anyways.” Albert said.“ Has he explained Lucifer's game to you?” Lucas asked Dave. Alex had already informed him about Lucifer's proposition and he agreed to give Albert
“ Now that you have the company in your name, when do you promise to bring Alex over? We should dine and wine like one big family” Lucifer asked Albert as he went back inside the house.Albert had gone there with his lawyer as promised, and all the necessary arrangements were made to transfer the company to him. Although all other subsidiaries of the company were not included in the deal, he was the sole owner of the company's headquarters.He was about to put his signature on the documents,when Lucifer brought the idea of inviting Alex back to his house. Albert feigned anger at the initial stage, but he remembered Dave's warning, so he agreed to convince Alex.He made sure he followed his lawyer back to his car safely, then he secretly asked Tiger to watch over the man. Tiger was still loyal to him, even when he was no longer the Don of the Mafia group.He didn't trust Lucifer, so he only gave one of the duplicates of the documents to the lawyer, and he vowed to keep the original in
Elena had provided the map of Lucifer's underground basement to Zach’s rescue team and they were all ready for the mission.Lucas, Albert, Alex and some sorcerers had reached Lucifer's building at dusk. They planned to start the mission when darkness set in. Albert drove alongside with Alex into his father's compound immediately they reached Lucifer's neighborhood. The Mafia men hailed them as usual, before they matched inside the living room. Alfred was surprised to see Albert with Alex, but he was too scared of Alex's posture to question them.When Albert saw the confused look on his face, he smiled, then directed him to sit with them.“ As you can see, we are not to cause any trouble. I have tried to calm Alex and we are here for answers. Where is Lucifer?” Albert asked as he looked around the house as if he was searching for his father.“ Lucifer went on a business trip, so I don't think you can get the answer you seek today.” Alfred replied.“ We can still get some, only if you c
Lucas screamed in agony as he shook his father and others were consoling him. The person driving their car asked if he could stop, but Dave forbade him. He made it known to them that halting their movement at that time could put their lives at risk, because Lucifer was close to their location.Alex tried to remove Lucas's hand from squeezing his father's cloth, but Lucas refused to bulge,his hold on his father was too tight. As he was dragging the cloth with him, he felt the heartbeat of the man. For him to be sure of his prediction, he bit Lucas's hand off the man's chest and he placed his head on Zach's chest.“ Are you insane! Why did you bite me?” Lucas asked furiously. Instead of getting a reasonable response from Alex, the latter raised his index finger at him.“ Hold on a second, I think I just felt his heartbeat” Alex announced. Lucas's hope rose when he heard this, he pushed Alex's head away from Zach's chest, then he placed his head on his to check his heart beat. True to Al
“ No, No, Lilliana, No!” Lucas woke up from his slumber. He was sweating profusely and he was surprised to find himself naked on his bed. He hurriedly touched his lower parts to check if it was covered and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his shorts on his body.He stretched his body and his gaze met with Dave, who was quietly watching his drama.“ Welcome back, your Highness. Why did you look scared when you checked your private parts?” He mocked.“ What did you expect when I found myself naked. Why did you remove my clothes?” Lucas asked.“ You fainted as soon as you finished healing your father, so we had no choice but to remove your cloth for proper ventilation.” “ Where is my father?” Lucas dragged his body from the bed instantly. He rushed out of his room without minding his nakedness.He became afraid when he saw the stern and solemn look on the faces of his members.“ Why is everybody sad, has anything bad happened to my father?” Lucas asked, dreading to hear any bad
