Lucian felt embarrassed by the way the president kept appreciating him even hours after the interview back at the office."I owe you a large debt of gratitude for your help, Lucian. Thank you for coming to our rescue and preventing a nationwide catastrophe. What can I pay you back with?"Lucian sighed."There's no need to pay me back for anything. I was only rendering my service. It's pointless to have a gift and now use it when the need arises."They were now walking towards the parking lot again.The president had called for him after the interview at the office, sounding like he had something urgent to say, but it turned out he just wanted to continue appreciating him."There's no way you won't accept a reward for your act. I won't -""Mr. President, I promise you I don't want anything. If you must do something for me, it'll simply be this; take care of Monica for me."The man's expression warmed over as he gave Lucian a fatherly hug."Thank you, Lucian.""No. Thank you, Mr. Presid

William's screams shook the hallways as the cops led him out."Something is very off about you! You will be exposed!" He screamed, directing his words to Lucian."You're a wizard! You're a murderer! You are a fraud!"But within him, he was just releasing his frustrations, glad to know that the police would keep Lucian from attacking him if he wanted to.But Lucian remained unfettered. He stood with the rest of the guests who now stared around in shock, blending in."How sad that that remarkable specialist has gone off his head. He is now mad!""Is he talking to himself?""He truly seems to have lost it! Who is he talking to?"Lucian, the object of William's frustration, slipped away unnoticed.The extra attention was unnecessary.Just as he stepped back into his room, his phone buzzed.The airport.Lucian couldn't imagine his flight getting cancelled again. Hopefully it wasn't that.But the message on the screen loosened up his tensed expression.'Mr. Lucian, were glad to inform you t

Silence. The shock on the faces of everyone in the room was evident, including the faces of the family members. They all stared at him in confusion, whispering among themselves about who he was and if he was there to save them. Victor's face slowly contorted from shock to one of complete amusement. Then he burst into a loud cackling laughter. His men followed suit. After laughing uncontrollably for almost two minutes, he turned back to Lucian, his expression now cold. "Your guts would have been admirable in other case scenarios." Pointing the gun directly at Lucian, his eyes darkened. "Bye bye, stranger!" All hearts in the room pounded as the trigger was pulled. The sound of the gun reverberated across the room. Victor's grin was wide again, his men's smile even wider. Until they saw it. The strange man who has burst in seemed to have disappeared into thin air. "Where is he?" "Did his body fall outside or something?!" They muttered among themselves. Vict

Olivia chuckled awkwardly, her hands trembling slightly.Surely he couldn't embarrass her like that, could he?"Come on, Lucian. We both know you don't mean that." She moved closer to him, making sure her eyes converted the message she was trying to pass across clearly."We both know you're too kindhearted and loving to give up on us. That's why I fell for you in the first place," she whispered with a sultry edge in her voice.Lucian stared at her, his lips curling into a smirk.She grinned, leaning even closer to him.Of course she was not called a beauty goddess for nothing. She had the key to men's hearts and she could easily turn them to her the way she wanted."We can put this behind us, can't we?""I know this probably has something to do with your brother, Olivia, but -""Oh, you sir have to worry about my brother, Lucian. Thankfully, the officers I hired were able to find him

Lucian wasn't one to lose his composure carelessly but the past week had pulled on every last emotion strength. He moved from.pavibg the floors of his office to storm out. "Sir, you said we were going to look at your investments today and -" "Forget that. I need to do something urgently. Trace Tracy's phone for me." Aurora looked confused for a split second but she immediately nodded. "Yes, boss." Lucian got into his car, taking a deep breath before jetting out into the highway. He might not have been able to save Charles, but he would do all within his power to save the people who were close to him now, even if it meant him abandoning his own business for a moment. Where was he even headed? He had no clue. But he just knew he couldn't sit around doing nothing. As he drove, his phone vibrated with a call. He picked it wi
