CHAPTER 91
CHAPTER 91The thugs rough handling Blake paused, turning around to see the intruder.Lucian stood his ground, watched them with a warning glint in his eyes."Nothing to see here. Move along," one of the men snapped, ignoring Lucian like he was no body."I'm not going to repeat this question again. What is going on here?"The authority in his voice made them turn around this time to give him their full attention.Blake, seizing the opportunity, wriggled himself out of their arms, trying to escape but they were swifter.Just as he was about to slip away, they caught him by his collar.One of them, the leader of the group, strode towards him quickly.Blake's eye widened as the man lifted his fist to plummet his face.But the blow never came.He only felt a slight release, even though he was still being held hostage.He slowly opened his eyes to see Lucian holding the fist of the leader.Lucian was quick and precise to catch the punch mid-air before the leader could hit Blake.With force
CHAPTER 92
The man who owned the voice stepped out of the darkness into the light that shone through the bulbs in the lot.His face was unfamiliar to Blake, Tracy or Lucian.But the band of armed men instantly lowered their heads in respect.Lucian raised a brow at him but waited for him to speak up. Clearly, he was someone important in their gang."What is going on here?" The man snapped, his gaze roaming from Blake to Tracy and then to Lucian."Is this a party? Why aren't you doing what the boss asked you to do?!" "Mr. Vance, sir. We're so sorry. -""Sorry? Is this some joke? I need results. Has he paid up?" He gestured to Blake with his head The leader shook his head, his lips pressed into a thin line."Not yet, sir. But we've already gotten him to agree to hand over the company. We are just about to finalise it but this fool keeps delaying us."The man turned his icy glare to Lucian and spoke, his words directed to the gang leader."And why couldn't you clear him out of the way? Is your gu
CHAPTER 93
Lucian refused to believe the thoughts that came to his mind at her actions, so he asked to clarify."Olivia, what is going on?" He asked, tensed at the glint in her eyes.It was something dark and filled with desire.Her lips twisted into a seductive smile."We'll get to that in a moment. For now, come and sit here." She parted the space beside her on the obviously small sofa."I don't understand. You told me you wanted me to see something, didn't you?"She shrugged, chuckling like a schoolgirl. "That's what I want to show you. It won't take so long, trust me.""Okay?"She repeated her action of patting the seat beside her."Come."Lucian wasn't a fool. There was no denying what Olivia's true motives were."Olivia, look, why don't you show me this thing after the event is done? The guests will be waiting for us downstairs."Olivia ignored the thoughts off with a lazy wave."They don't matter, Lucian. Look, I just want to appreciate you for all you've done for me. You saved my life."
CHAPTER 94
Amelia forced a smile as detective Ken stepped into the office."Good day, detective Ken."He hummed, his brow raised as he responded to her greeting."Good day. How may I help you?"She sank into the seat, her mind racing with thoughts.Who would have thought that the notorious and shady detective Ken Johnson would be the one in charge of Lucian's case.He was known to work with shady people and the rumours of his evil ways was on the lips of many of the people in the city.This confirmed her suspicions. Something just wasn't right.However, she held her thoughts, getting down to business."Lucian is innocent, detective. I can assure you of this. Your men didn't even check the footage or even make any investigations -""Would you like to sit here?" Detective Ken gestures to his chair.Amelia's brows scrunched, confusion clearly written on her face."No. I'm comfortable here. Why?"He laughed sarcastically. "You sure sound like you would do a better job than me."She blushes in embar
CHAPTER 95
"You're free to go," Detective Ken muttered almost inaudibly to Lucian."What did you say?" Lucian asked like he hasn't heard him the first time.Ken gritted his teeth together bitterly."I said you're free to go," he repeated a bit louder this time.Lucian reclined further into the chair, feigning confusion."But, didn't you say that I was going to be here for a long time?"Ken resisted the urge to slam the desk.Now that such a powerful figure was backing this man in front of him, he had to show him some level of respect."Well, my commander thinks you should be released."The smug expression on Lucian's face made him want to deal with him, but he wouldn't dare.He watched Lucian take slow, intentional strides out of the cell, boiling with rage and bewilderment.Who exactly was this man and how did he have so much authority on his side?He led him out of the station honourably, bowing his head in humiliation as he walked past his subordinates.They all murmured amongst themselves as
CHAPTER 96
Thirty minutes passed after Olivia left the mansion before she returned.Behind her thronged five officers.Amelia with her red and puffy face stared at them in confusion."I don't understand."Olivia ignored her."These officers are professionals. They will question everyone here and find my brother."The officer took a seat opposite Amelia and Lucian, who was very detached from the whole scene."Sit," the head of the cops instructed the guard who obeyed instantly."Now, can you recount the events that led up to the kidnap of Mr. Castillo? As much as you can recall. All of you."The head guard repeated what had happened to the cop who listened with rapt attention."And you just let them take him without any attempt to defend your boss? What exactly are you paid for if not to protect him? How did they even get in with you guys stationed outside?"The questions were thrown at guard in rapid successions."Didn't you hear him say that they came in with guns and threatened to harm my fath
CHAPTER 97
Lucian heaved a huge sigh as he stepped into the comfort of his house.Still feeling troubled about the whole incident but determined to protect his own sanity, he stepped to the fridge to take some water.He has been so distracted from creating Elsa's treatment because of the numerous calls here and there.If only he had even been as appreciated as he was always so eager to show up for people.He shook his head, gulping down the water.It was then his phone rang.He hoped it was not Amelia.He felt bad enough already that he wasn't able to help her but he needed them to understand that he was not jobless.Every time he showerd up for them, he was sacrificing things that he was supposed to do.Being treated like that was certainly not what he expected in return.It was Monica calling."Hello, Monica -""Lucian!!" She squealed excitedly. " I'm so happy to hear from you again. I saw the news." "You did?" He muttered, wondering just how far the news had spread."Don't worry, Lucian. I k
CHAPTER 98
Almost immediately his call with Monica came to an end, his phone buzzed with a message.Lucian sighed heavily.The message was simple and short yet it held meanings that he understood clearly.'C+ city needs you. There's an outbreak.'He raised a brow, scrolling further downwards.The message told of the numerous casualties and how there was no solution.But who sent the message, he wondered?But there, at the end the message was a signature he knew too well.Mr. President.He stood up instantly, ready to respond to the message."Okay, sir." He typed in and sent it before calling Aurora."Hello, boss.""Good day, Aurora. Please, clear my schedule for the rest of this week. My presence is requested urgently by Mr. President now. Also, please stay alert as I might need you again.""Yes, boss," she responded sharply, doing what he asked.Once the call stopped, he gathered his things and headed to the president's office.*"He will be here soon."A wave of relief washed across the room a
CHAPTER 99
Once Lucian stepped into the city, he felt the putrid atmosphere of sickness, despair and hopelessness.The city was a mess.Ambulance sirens filled the air as they sped down the streets to the nearest hospital.Even in the street, people affected by the virus lay on the ground, waiting for the ambulance to come and pick them before they diedLucian was moved to compassion by the scene before him.The wailing alone in the city made it look like a scene from the apocalypse.The car that was prepared for him by the president and driven by a government escort pulled up in front of him."Doctor Lucian?""Yes," Lucian responded, his voice heavy with compassion for the ailing people.He got into the car and was straightaway driven to the president's office.It took all of his willpower not to stare back outside one more time ago the people who were affected by the virus.It was such a catastrophic sight.In the president's office, the atmosphere was tense as they all awaited his presence.T
CHAPTER 100
The next few hours were intentional for Lucian.He listened keenly as the representatives explained the scenario to him."This part is even the worst. It is speculated that the virus broke out somewhere around here."The place was a mess.Brown greenish dregs stained the walls. "That's the vomit of the many people who were infected. Its so disgusting."Lucian stopped there, using a small lab stick to collect some of the sample and put it into a vial.The man retched. "We've already tested it. If there's any lead here, it's definitely not in those gags. It's pointless -""He knows what he's doing," the president interjected, watching Lucian with hope dancing in his eyes.The man shrugged, folding his arms as Lucian inspected the areas and collected some more samples from there.Silence reigned as they moved to the next locations and back to the hospital.*He paced the lab, running tests on the numerous samples that had been collected from the infected patients.His eyes glinted as th
