Many people were surprised by this revelation, especially the Harrison family. Upon learning the news, they frantically sought more information. They never expected that not only was the Staleridge War God’s military rank revoked, but the Gray Group, Oscar, and Larry had also faced revenge. They had fallen from grace and lost everything.
“Damn, this guy’s luck is too good,” Dax exclaimed, slamming the table.
The Harrison family were not the only ones who thought Lucian was lucky. Anyone who knew about the situation couldn’t help but think that his luck was too good.
However, they speculated that the Staleridge War God’s actions were too audacious and had offended the royal family, leading to the revocation of his military rank.
Many people asked those who had been to Sioux Peak about what happened, but no one dared to reveal the truth.
After all, Lucian had given the order that anyone who dared to disclose the information would be killed! In order to survive, they did not dare to expose the matter.
That night, Lucian went to the village area to visit his mother, Lilian.
Under his care, Lilian had finally regained consciousness, although her body was still weak. Upon seeing Lucian return, she immediately got up and asked, “Son, are you alright?”
Lucian nodded and said, “Mom, don’t worry. I’m fine!”
Lilian had also seen the news in the afternoon. She knew that her son had been saved thanks to the intervention of the royal family and the Infernal War God. She sighed in relief and said, “Son, we were fortunate this time, but please don’t be so impulsive in the future.”
“Yes, I understand,” Lucian replied.
Lucian wanted to tell his mother that he was the Infernal War God. However, Austin had informed him that Lilian had mental health issues. He didn’t know if Lilian could handle the shock of learning that her son was the Infernal War God. It would be too overwhelming for an ordinary woman like her! Lucian chose to keep it a secret for now and only reveal the truth to his mother when the time was right.
That night, Lucian and Austin stayed at Lilian’s place.
“Lucian, now that you’ve taken revenge, you must be happy, right?” Austin asked.
Lucian sat in the courtyard, gazing at the starry sky. He sighed and said, “I may have avenged myself, but I still haven’t avenged my parents. I feel guilty for not being able to protect them. I’m such a useless person.”
Taking a drag from his cigarette, Lucian continued, “Austin, don’t worry. I will do everything I can to find the murderer as soon as possible.”
“Thank you, Lucian.” Austin expressed his gratitude.
“Sigh…” Lucian shook his head and said, “Actually, I didn’t successfully avenge my parents. The one who killed my father isn’t someone from the Gray family, but someone else. I still haven’t discovered their identity.”
“Huh?” Lucian was confused.
Lucian clenched his fists and said firmly, “Regardless, I must find the murderer. Furthermore, I want to restore the Skypride Group that my father founded. I will make whoever took away my father’s legacy return it.”
The next morning, Lucian received a call from Freya shortly after waking up.
Their relationship had deepened significantly after this incident. Lucian happily exclaimed, “Darling, do you miss me?”
“Lucian, something has happened!” Freya said anxiously. “I went to the Infernal Group for a project earlier, and I heard from Mr. Asher that Aunt Dixie was fired by the Robertson family. They took away all her possessions! She has nothing left!”
“What?” Freya’s words jolted Lucian out of bed.
With all the recent dealings with the Staleridge War God and the Gray Group, Lucian had forgotten about Dixie. He never expected such a thing to happen to her in just a few days.
However, Dixie was the queen of jewels and had been in the business for a long time. How could she have been deceived by the Robertson family?
After hanging up the phone, Lucian said goodbye to Lilian and went to Maple Garden with Austin.
“Darling, what happened?” Lucian asked when he returned home and saw Freya anxiously sitting on the couch.
“You should call Aunt Dixie and ask her about it. I don’t know the details either!”
Freya had only heard a brief account from Asher, so she was unaware of the full story.
Lucian dialed Dixie’s number, but there was no answer! Even after several attempts, no one picked up.
He pondered for a moment before immediately taking Freya and Austin to Dixie’s villa to investigate the matter.
As the queen of jewels, Dixie was extremely wealthy. She owned a large villa spanning around 2,000 square feet. When they arrived at the door, they heard the sound of furniture being smashed and cries of despair from inside.
Lucian kicked open the door and rushed in with the two of them.
Upon entering the scene, anger instantly consumed him.
A group of men armed with sticks were ruthlessly vandalizing everything in the villa, as if they were searching for something. Meanwhile, Dixie sat on the floor, her face covered in blood. Her face was swollen, and there were evident bloodstains at the corner of her lips.
The man leading the group couldn’t find what he was looking for, so he shouted and kicked Dixie to the ground. He grabbed her by the neck and yelled, “Damn woman, give me the key to the jewelry warehouse immediately!
Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”
Dixie curled up on the floor, her face turning red from being strangled. She managed to speak with difficulty, “I don’t have the key,”
The man punched her in the face three times, almost causing her to lose consciousness.
“Stop it!” Lucian was furious upon witnessing the situation and rushed forward to punch the man ur charge.
The man was sent tlving and tell to the ground, shocking the rest of the group.
Glaring at Lucian, the man asked. Who are you?
Feeling enraged after being randomly attacked, the man emitted a murderous aura, clearly wanting to kill Lucian. He felt that Lucian looked familiar, but couldn’t recall where he had seen him before.
“Lucian!” Dixie’s dull eyes brightened with a hint of joy upon seeing Lucian. Ignoring the pain in her body, she rushed towards him and exclaimed, “Lucian, you’re alive!”
Tears of joy streamed down Dixie’s face as she spoke. She embraced him like a mother, as she had been extremely worried about him.
Bankrupted by the Robertson family, Dixie could no longer offer assistance to Lucian. However, seeing that he was safe relieved the worry in her heart. As long as he was okay, her own struggles meant nothing.
Life always held more value than wealth.
So, you’re Alexander’s illegitimate son? How dare you strike me?”
Upon learning about Lucian’s identity, Xavier Matthews took a machete from one of his subordinates and approached Lucian. He angrily declared, “The Staleridge War God had his military rank revoked by the Infernal War God due to his actions, allowing you to survive. In that case, I’ll send you to reunite with Alexander!”
