One of the women wrapped around Lucius‘ arms angrily yelled before the man himself even said anything, “You arrogant fool! Don’t you know who Lopo is? Now, get down on your knees and-”

Splat!!!

A hole suddenly opened up in the woman’s chest while she was speaking and she fell to the floor, dead as a doorknob. Time seemed to freeze that very moment as one of Lucius women died without any warning.

Opposite them, Adrian was flexing his wrist as though nothing had happened.

The entire place fell silent, and Lucius even took a few steps back.

The other woman next to Lucius screamed in fear and ran. She was shocked at the other women’s death and swift death. And, she was not the only one. Everyone else, including William, was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events as well.

At that moment, Adrian said, “There are two types of people I hate in this world. The first are hypocrites. The second is immoral women. Anytime I come across one of these types, I’ll only do one thing–kill them!”

Everyone became even more shocked, while Lucius was left tongue–tied. He clearly was not expecting this man opposite him to actually make a move without giving him any warning.

In his mind, he thought Adrian was going to let him finish his speech before he had his men beat Adrian up until he became a cripple, but the truth was far from what he expected.

However, Lucius was a seasoned veteran in the way of life he led and, barely, got a grip on his nerves by taking a deep breath. He knew that the man he was facing today was completely unlike the ones he had come across in the past.

“My name is Lucius Ortega, and everyone from the South knows my name. My brother–in–law is the chief of Internal Affairs of the south, so you should be aware of who you’re dealing with before you make any moves.”

Lucius emphasized his last sentence in the hopes that Adrian would realize he was way out of his reach and cause him to flinch. Yet, Lucius was very, very wrong.

Completely unaffected by Lucius‘ threat, Adrian answered, “Are you done?”

“What?”

Lucius was stunned!

“That’s it? Shouldn’t he be reconsidering his actions?”

At that thought, Lucius frowned and asked, “Are you really not afraid of me? Who are you? There’s no way anyone from the South who is much more powerful than me.

“The only other explanation would be that you’re faking it and you’re actually trying to come up with an escape plan. Deep down, you’re afraid of me, aren’t you?”

“There’s no way anyone would be able to face me without quaking in their boots! Lucius thought this because he had never come across a worthy opponent. Even if there was, his brother–in–law would take care of them for him.

Lucius began to observe Adrian, trying to catch the slightest change in the latter’s expression. Yet, Adrian showed no changes whatsoever. Instead, he even smiled and said, “Do you think there’s a need for me to be afraid of someone who’s going to be dead soon?

“What?! Why You. ”

Lucius was stunned and took a deep breath before he said, “Impossible. You must be filled with fear tight now. Just take a look. at the men I’ve brought with me today. It’d be a piece of calue to kill you right now.”

However, Adrian merely said, “Did anyone say I don’t have backup?”
