A Fallen Heir’s Redemption By ( Lucian and Freya )
Chapter 80

Chapter 80 The News

As soon as Mathias met Lucian’s gaze, he felt as though he was looking into the eyes of a feral beast. Mathias was so nervous that he could feel his stomach turn. He thought he might vomit on the spot at that moment.

Is… Is this what it feels like to come face to face with the Infernal War G od?

Mathia s’s body was shaking like a dry leaf rustling in the wind.

Lucian Gray is the Infernal War G od!He’s the one and only Infernal War G od that all of us Vandergrift citizens look up to! He’s the man with the highest level of power and status besides King Vandergrift.He probably wouldn’t even take notice of a family of our social status in the first place. Yet, we’ve brazenly decided to take his wife away from him!What have we done this time?!

On the other hand, Jared kept his head lowered as he stood quietly beside his father.

I still have no idea what kind of backing Lucian has now. However, Dad has warned me on our way here not to say anything brash before Lucian. He kept stressing about how I’d be in peril if I did not follow his advice.I have never seen Dad look so frightened and agitated before. It made me realize Lucian was not someone our family could risk getting on the wrong side with.

“Mr. Mathias, did you hear what he just said?”

Dax laughed scornfully. “He said that he’d make you crawl out of our place! How insolent of him to say something like that! You should really teach him a good lesson.”

The other members of the Harrison family were all looking at Lucian with scorn and derision, especially Mary.

I was worried that he might fiercely deny having said those things since Dax completely made that up just now. Who knew Lucian would claim to have made those threats himself? This foolish, headstrong young man probably has a death wish, huh? It takes about nothing for a prestigious family like the Lisbon family to remove a nobody like Lucian.

“Lucian, what are you talking about?!”

Freya was briefly stunned as she did not expect Lucian to admit to having made the threat.

This is bad.

Annie could feel a headache coming as she shut her eyes momentarily.

Lucian is being his stubborn self again. I can’t even imagine what Mr. Mathias might do to Lucian if the former loses his temper now.

“Mr. Mathias, please ignore what Lucian just said. The young man doesn’t even know what he was

saying. I hope you won’t mind his ignorance, Annie said in an anxious, pleading voice.

It seems like the Harrison family members are not aware of Lucian’s real identity.

Mathias remained silent the whole time. Inwardly, he was feeling extremely uneasy. He even stole a furtive glance in Lucian’s direction while he tried to figure out what to do next.

“Mr. Mathias, don’t listen to her. I’m telling you the truth.”

Dax gave a scoff. “Lucian had the audacity to insult you, the head of the Lisbon family, right in your face! You should definitely do something about this!”

“What do you think I should do then?”

Mathias cast an icy gaze at Dax.

You should give him a painful end, of course! Perhaps you should have him die in a way that’s similar to that of his pathetic father. With him gone, I’ll have Freya marry into the Lisbon family. Then, we’ll become in-laws! Hahaha! I’m very much looking forward to becoming in-laws with you, Mr. Mathias.”

“Also, I already had Freya sign the divorce papers just as you suggested during our last phone call. Hahaha! I’ve done very well, don’t you think?”

Dax had a glowing expression as he said all that.

I knew it. It was those from the Lisbon family who had come up with the idea of forcing Freya to sign the divorce papers.

As Lucian fixed Mathias with an intense glare, the latter felt a dark, murderous intent from Lucian almost instantaneously.

Mathias got down on his knees and slammed his forehead against the cold, hard floor the next instant. He cried in a shaky voice, “Mr. Lucian, I admit that I’ve instructed these people to force Ms. Freya to sign the divorce papers. I’ve committed a horrible mistake! I had no idea that I would offend you in such a way! I’m begging you! Please forgive me for my foolish actions! I’m so sorry for what I’ve done!”

As soon as Mathias knelt down, Jared and all of their men followed suit and knelt on the floor as well.

Jared inched carefully toward Lucian and pleaded tearfully, “Mr. Lucian, I swear that I won’t bother Freya and I’ll stay away from her for the rest of my life. I beg of you. Please show us mercy!”

Everyone could hardly believe what they were witnessing before their eyes. Mathias and Jared had gotten down on their knees to ask for Lucian’s forgiveness.

Dax, in particular, dropped his jaw in astonishment.

Never in my wildest imagination have I ever thought that I’ll see Mathias Lisbon kneeling before Lucian! What is this? What is happening right now?!

“Do you honestly think it’s enough if you just get on your knees and beg for my forgiveness?”

A cold light gleamed in Lucian’s eyes as he seethed, “I know. This whole thing started because

you will Jared asked you to help him. Aren’t I right? Now, I hope you’ll show me how far earn my forgiveness. Otherwise… You’re well aware of the repercussions, Mathias Lisbon.”

Mathias felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing Lucian’s words. He turned his eyes to Jared

next.

“Dad… you… Why are you looking at me like that?”

Jared stuttered as he was gripped by a sudden feeling of panic.

“I’m sorry, Jared.”

Mathias got up and took a heavy wooden cane from one of his bodyguards. Then, he lifted the cane and flung it at Jared’s right leg forcefully. There was a loud cr ack as the cane came in contact with Jared’s leg.

“Ah!” Jared’s screams resounded through the house. The young man lay on his side on the floor and curled into a ball due to the immense pain.

Mat hi a s’s hand was trembling as he gripped the cane.

My heart aches to see him in so much pain. However, this is the only way left for us to appease Lucian’s anger.If I couldn’t bring myself to do it, our entire family would be facing the wrath of the Infernal War G od after this.

The sight of Mathias hurting his own son put the others in a greater state of shock, especially Dax.

What did I just see?Mathias broke his son’s legs with his own hands just to ask for Lucian’s forgiveness?!What on earth is going on?!

Almost everyone had a hard time processing what they had just seen.

“Mr. Lucian, would that be enough to show my sincerity?”

Mathias had placed the cane on the floor and gotten on his knees again.

“Mhm. Also, I want you to do the same thing to Calvin Harrison and Felix Harrison too,” Lucian said flatly.

To the Harrison family members’ horror, Mathias picked up the cane and rushed after Calvin and Felix this time.

“Mr. Mathias, please calm down! You don’t have to do this!”

“What is the meaning of all this?!”

Dax was extremely flustered and confused.

“You’ll replace out about the truth sooner or later, Dax.”

Not long after that, Mathias managed to break Calvin’s and Felix’s right legs. It was complete chaos as the room was instantly filled with the screams and moans of three adult men.

After making sure that the issue was settled, Lucian turned to Freya and asked in a gentle voice, “Should we leave now Darling?”

“Mhm.” Freya nodded absently.

Soon, Lucian, Freya, and her parents left the Harrison family’s residence with most of them still feeling very out of it.

On the contrary, the Harrison family members were shocked and frightened as things seemed to have gone completely out of hand in the end.

THE

HE

Even after they had returned home, Freya could still feel her heart racing when she thought about what happened earlier.

That’s Mathias Lisbon, the head of the Lisbon family. A man of his status knelt down before Lucian to beg for his forgiveness?!

Freya, Annie, and Frank had curious, anxious looks in their eyes as they silently looked Lucian’s way. On the other hand, Lucian was drawing on his cigarette as he contemplated how he should explain the incident earlier.

Just then, they heard the voice of a female news anchor coming from the television.

“Breaking news. Deputy Chief Gary Lynch from the Fremont Police Department was arrested for abusing his authority and receiving a bribe of 300 million dollars. According to the authorities, the man had conspired with a wealthy family…”

Soon afterward, they heard the second news.

“Three hours after Gary Lynch was arrested, the Lisbon Group announced it would cease operations. At the same time, the Lisbon family has also announced their bankruptcy, and they

have since vanished from the public’s sight. Many speculate that the Lisbon family was involved in Gary Lynch’s crimes…”
