Chapter 88 Father’s Friend

Lucian and Austin came back with the medicine. They didn’t tell anyone about the episode at the Hall of Healing. It was inconsequential anyway. Austin went to work. He started making the medicine and treating Lilian at the same time. He then told Lilian how to make the medicine, and if she kept taking it, she would be fully healed after three sessions.

Lilian held Austin’s hands in gratitude. “Thank you, Austin.”

“It’s alright, Mrs. Gray, Lucian’s my friend.” Austin chuckled.

Lilian was silent for a while, then he said, “You went missing for six years, and then you came out of nowhere. May I know why?”

“Vengeance. I’ll replace my parents’ killers and destroy them.” Hatred filled Austin’s eyes.

Lilian looked at him. There was hesitation in her eyes, as if she had something to say, but she couldn’t. In the end, she shook her head and changed the subject, “I’ll whip something up for you.”

“I’ll help. I can cook.” Freya went into the kitchen to help Lilian out, and Minnie went to help as well.

“Something’s off with your mother.” Austin looked at Lucian. “She looked like she wanted to say something.”

Lucian noticed that as well, and he smiled. “It’s no big deal. Mom always leaves people hanging.”

While everyone was eating, Lucian asked his mother to come with him into the kitchen. “You had something you wanted to say, didn’t you?”

“Sorry?” Lilian gave him a look of confusion. “It’s nothing. Just don’t think about it. I mean, the Fergusons healed you up way back then, and I didn’t realize they were murdered.”

“Really?” Lucian didn’t think that was the full story.

Refusing to answer the question, Lilian changed the subject, “It’s been a while since you came back. I think you should see Simon soon. Don’t forget about him.”

Simon Bowman. He was one of the earliest founders of the company alongside Lucian’s father, and they were sworn brothers. However, Simon went missing after Alexander’s death, and Lucian thought Simon had betrayed Alexander. The mention of that name alone evoked hatred within him.

Lilian noticed the look on his face, and she realized what he was thinking. “No, that’s not it. He never betrayed your father. They were expanding their business when your father died. He was then hunted for two years and only re-emerged after you went to the military. It’s a miracle he’s still surviving after being hunted for two years. His daughter came to visit a lot, so you should

visit them too.”

Lucian’s mind was blank, and he looked shocked. So he never betrayed my father? “I see. So I’ve been blaming the wrong person. I’ll see him later.” There was guilt in Lucian’s eyes.

Lilian nodded. “I’ll give you the location.”

Lucian and Liam took Freya and Minnie tò Maple Garden in the afternoon. The project was progressing rapidly, and Freya hadn’t been to the site in days. She rested for a bit and went to work. The Harrisons were desperate to get this project, and in case they tried anything funny, he told Liam to send a few warriors to protect Freya.

He then bought a lot of gifts and asked Austin to tag along on his visit to Simon. According to Lilian, Simon was living a peaceful life, running a barnyard with his wife, while their daughter worked in retail at a fashion company. Their son, however, was unemployed.

Back in his heyday, Dennis Bowman was a rich kid. He spent all his time and money on nothing but fun and debauchery, yet now he was nothing more than a civilian, and the sudden change in lifestyle was unacceptable to him.

Lucian stopped in front of the barnyard and saw a ton of people in the courtyard, but all of them were armed thugs. They were smashing the restaurant apart, and the floor was covered in splintered wood. Simon was lying on the ground, injured, while his wife and daughter were pleading for mercy. His son, however, was hiding in a corner, shivering.

“Please, please stop hurting my father,” Rosine pleaded.

“Don’t blame us. This is all Lucian’s fault. He kept challenging the Grays since he came back, and now he’s the enemy of the Grays and the five great clans. This is just a lesson for his transgression.” The thug in the lead sneered. “Tell him if he keeps this up, the Grays and the five great clans will make his loved ones suffer hell.”

Lucian heard that, and murder surrounded him. “You will die for that,” he growled.

The thugs turned around, and the man in the lead-Todd Fisher-said, “Well, if it isn’t the little trash.” This man was King Austral’s lieutenant and a menace to the local underbelly. He didn’t think Lucian was a threat, even though he knew Lucian had Prince Ezekiel and the Grim Reapers backing him up.

King Austral was more powerful than Prince Ezekiel and the Grim Reapers, and he was friends with Prince Harry. With these people backing him up, Todd had nothing to be afraid of. “I heard you’re going to fight the Grays and the five great clans at Sioux Peak in ten days.”

“Why? You wanna join in and die as well?” Lucian retorted.

Todd sneered and scoffed. “King Austral promised the Grays he’ll kill you in fifteen days. I know you think you’re something because Prince Ezekiel and the Grim Reapers are backing you up, but you’re nothing to King Austral.” Todd held up his pinky in disdain. Obviously, he thought he was a hotshot just because his boss was King Austral.

“Man, you are all bark and no bite. Are you leaving, or should I help you?” Lucian asked coldly?

“Da mn you!” Todd flew into a rage, and he shouted an order, and his lackeys quickly gathered.

Shocked, Simon roared, “Run, Lucian! You’re no match for them! There’s too many of them! I promised your father I’d take care of you. Don’t push yourself!”

Rosine and Camille were worried as well. Todd outnumbered Lucian too much. If they got into a fight, they’d kill him.

“Attack!” Todd roared, and his lackeys charged ahead.

The ladies screamed and paled, while Simon lay on the ground, his eyes closed. There was despair on his face. I’m sorry, Alexander. I can’t keep my promise anymore. If anything happens to the boy, I’ll take my own life as an apology.

And then something unbelievable happened.
