CHAPTER 131
CHAPTER 131"I'm sorry, ma'am, but it's a dead end. There's no single trace of him anywhere on the -"She violently tapped her screen to end the call."It's futile, ma'am. I don't think anyone can ever find out his whereabouts. His tracks have been neatly covered. I think it's best you -"She cut the call again."Ma'am, we've used our top resources to search for him but it's like he's just disappeared from the face of the earth."Elsa gritted her teeth in annoyance. "Can you even hear yourself?! And you call yourself the best of the best!" She snapped.This was the tenth call of futility she had received for the day.Any more of those calls would have her spiralling off the edge of her sanity."But ma'am, it's true. We are the best of the best. And we have truly done our best but Lucian's whereabouts can't be found.""You have to find him. He can't just get missing or disappear, in your own words, from the face of the earth. Do something!"Without waiting for any more response from t
CHAPTER 132
CHAPTER 132Once the plane touched the ground of the airport in Z+ city, Lucian's eyes snapped open.Destiny was calling and he wasn't going to waste a single second in responding.Grabbing his things, he stepped out of the plane, pulling on his disguise again.No doubt the news of the Ashura General had reached Z+ city.Rumours flew quicker than the wind.He watched through his tinted glasses as almost all the televisions in the airport talked about the Ashura General.People gathered in front of the screens, stopping in their tracks to hear more.The footage from the supermarket was replayed, and everyone watched with wide eyes.Lucian pulled his cloak tighter to himself.Being spotted would be a disaster with the way things were.Immediately his feet touched the ground, he caught sight of Aurora.She stood in a single space opposite the area where eager people stood to receive their guests who were on the plane.She was almost unnoticeable in her position.Spotting him instantly, A
CHAPTER 133
Lucian couldn't be more aware of the controversy that was sparked at his arrival. He just chose not to care.With his hands tucked into the pockets of his simple pants, he walked further into the hall, ignoring the chaos.There were many people in the hall, many of whom he recognised vividly.Some people he had shared meals with.Some he had laughed with.But they all had the same expressions on their faces. Total disgust and irritation.If they recognised him, they clearly didn't show it.He could still hear their murmurs."He shouldn't be anywhere close to this place. He doesn't belong here.""I wonder what the guards are doing and who let him into.""He needs to leave."But Lucian's face betrayed no emotions as he ventured further towards the main hall.Since his fall, many of the friends he had once had had prices themselves to be nothing but charlatans who just surrounded him for his money.Now, their hatred was clear as day.Thank goodness he had come looking simple.If he had c
CHAPTER 134
CHAPTER 134 Just as the sounds of heartbeats could almost be heard through the chests of everyone there, Lucian's response came as a brutal shock to everyone. Elena took instinctive steps backwards to, squeezing her eyes shut. No doubt, her action was enough to spark a reaction from him. But to their shock, he simply chuckled. It was a low rumble that only sparked more fright than humour. His face held no shock, anger or defense. His laughter was soft and almost amused. Elena's confusion knew no bounds. Cocking her head to the side, her confidence slowly returning but her ego badly bruised she snapped. "What's so funny?" Her voice had lost part of its initial fire. Without any response, he shook his head and walked past her, a cold gust of air hitting her as he moved. Moving past all the guests who had gathered outside to watch and humiliate him, he entered the hall. They all watched his back as he left, their words of mockery dying on their lips. His silence and eventu
CHAPTER 135
CHAPTER 135The blatant disobedience threw Matthew off badly.His composure dissipated into the thin air and he rushed over to them.His voice was deathly low as he spoke to them. "Did you not hear me? I said I don't want to repeat myself."The head security guard stared at him with determination in his eyes."I'm sorry, but we won't be able to do that. If you have any other requests, we may carry them out."Matthew's face turned impossibly redder.It was such a simple order.Throw out this man who wasn't worthy of this party.The guards' hesitation came as a slap on his face, a pin bursting his inflated ego."You're going to regret this. Just hold on!" He turned to Lucian, who was now sipping a wine like he wasn't the reason why the whole room was in a state of perpetual tension."You, get out of here this instant!" Matthew shouted.But Lucian remained nonchalant.This angered Matthew to no limits."Why don't you throw him out like I'm asking you to? Do you know who I am?" Matthew s
CHAPTER 136
CHAPTER 136Matthew lost it immediately.All hell in him broke loose and every form of restraint he had exercised snapped.Moved by utter rage and humiliation, he threw all his caution to the wind, storming over to Lucian.There was no way he would let his name be rubbished like that."You fool, I'm going to deal with you personally, so much that you'll regret ever crossing paths with me. Whenever you hear the name Matthew Dawson, your cower in fear and respect!"In a sheer act of desperation, he charged at Lucian.Somehow, he had hopes that his asserting brute force on Lucian was sure to restore his shattered dignity.But just as he reached out to actually lay hands on Lucian, the guards stepped in.They stood before Matthew like an impenetrable wall To the shock of the whole guests, Matthew was immediately restrained, bundled away from Lucian.The soft gaps that filled the room hung in the air like a thick cloud."What the hell are you doing?!" Matthew snapped, too confused to unde
CHAPTER 137
CHAPTER 137The voices in the hall had now dropped to murmurs that filled the air.No one was confident enough to speak to Lucian outrightly anymore.He was obviously something they couldn't wrap their head around.Slowly, they circulated their way into the auction hall to take their seats in anticipation of the auction.The tension in the room lingered like a storm cloud.As everyone settled in for the action to begin, Lucian signalled to the organisers who were finally entering the hall."Is it all ready?" He asked.The head organizer nodded sharply, too dazed to speak. Lucian's presence overwhelmed him so much the words just couldn't come out."Alright. Let the auction begin."Lucian's voice was loud enought for almost everyone to hear. The confidence in his voice stirred something in them.They exchanged curious glances.Had they really been ignoring something that her been in their faces for so long or was this a joke?"Excuse me?!"It was Elena again.She was on her feet now, he
CHAPTER 138
CHAPTER 138Gerald's face burned with humiliation as he held the feather.His hand trembled with shame as he slowly brought it down.What in the world?A hundred million dollars for this?He gritted his teeth, his anger now uncontrollable and raging like a storm.With his hands clenched into fists, he turned to the host."You liar and deceiver! You stole my money by selling me something fake and obviously dead!"The host started at him in confusion. "We didn't sell you the wrong thing. We're equally -"Before he could even complete his sentence, Gerald had rushed towards him.Grabbing his shirt by the collar, Gerald growled angrily, "I need a refund NOW! You can't just take my hundred million dollars and give me this rubbish!"The host struggled to free himself from the angry Gerald's grip.Chaos ensued again with the drama as everyone wondered what had happened.The feather had looked perfectly okay until Gerald had touched it.Could it really have been fake?The murmured under their
CHAPTER 139
CHAPTER 139Tension lingered in the car between Elsa and Lucian as they sped down Z+ city.She stole a glance at Lucian whose eyes were fixed on his phone sharply.There was no smile on his face.After Elena was thrown out, the event had continued peacefully.Lucian had even smiled at her and thanked her for coming.But now that they were in the car, he had barely spoken a word to her.Clearing her throat, she prepared to ask him the very question that had plagued her for a long time since he suddenly disappeared.Raising her head and folding her hands, she started."It's not fair, Lucian."He turned to her, his brows raised like he had no clue what she was talking about."What's not fair Elsa?"With a pout, she responded, "You just suddenly disappeared from A+ city, leaving me all alone. Do you know how long it took me to find you?"He sighed. But she wasn't done."Why didn't you tell me what was going on? You could even have taken me with you." Her eyes had gotten teary as she spo
CHAPTER 140
CHAPTER 140Kelvin Bullock sat high and mighty in his seat in the conference room, his expression dark and cold."Why are you slobbering like a child? Is this how you want to move my company forward?!" He snapped at the manager who was giving a presentation.The manager's face turned white at the deadly expression on Kelvin's face."I-I'm sorry, sir. I think I'm just not feeling too well today."He was sick.. sick of Kelvin's harshness.Kelvin narrowed his eyes. "And why is that supposed to be my business? You know how much I hate the sluggishness!"Nodding sharply, the manager swallowed, turning to resume his presentation.Just the eyes of Kelvin watching him like a hawk was enough to make him want to crawl into a hole and hide."S-So I was saying -"Just as he moved back to the previous slide to explain it all over again, the door to the conference room flew open.The force with which it was opened ruined the hinges from which it swung.Kelvin jumped to his feet sharply, his gaze in
