Chapter 1001 Hades Lucas forced himself to calm down. No. I canât fall into that whirlpool of negative emotions again. When I was exiled back then, not many of my brothers were left. Almost none of those who had the right to become an heir appeared remarkably similar to me.
Then, he took in a deep breath to adjust his state of mind. âLetâs go, Honey.â
There was a darkened look in his eyes.
Nodding, Ashlyn held his hand tightly, intertwining their fingers together and silently providing him warmth. âSince youâre not the Nolan familyâs biological child, have you thought about searching for your biological parents?â That was what she cared about the most at the moment.
Lucas was silent for a few seconds before he answered, âI was abandoned and exiled by my family back then. Since⦠they donât want me, why should I go back?â
Abandoned and exiled? Ashlynâs pupils constricted. I didnât expect that to happen to him. I never imagined he was an orphan or a child tossed aside by his family. Itâs shocking for me to learn this truth about his background. I assumed his biological family is a prestigious one, though I imagine they have to be blind to exile a good kid like Lucas. Oftentimes, those so-called prominent families ore rotten inside while still putting on a glamorous facade. Sneering silently, she suddenly stood on her toes and planted a kiss on the manâs alluring lips. Then, she pressed her forehead against his, uttering, âLucas, hereâ¦â
She grabbed his hand and placed it on her chest. âThis here is your home.â
Ashlynâs eyes were extraordinarily brilliant in the night.
Lucasâ gaze remained fixed on her as he caressed her smooth, tender cheeks.
The exquisite sensation gave him pause.
He pursed his lips as the look in his eyes took on a darker hue. If not for the inappropriate time and place, I really wont to embrace her and swallow her whole right now!
In the end, Lucas resisted his beastly desires and bit Ashlynâs lip affectionately. âThere are a lot of people here. Letâs leave!â
His cold and towering figure mokes me feel inexplicably worried. My heartaches for him. Ashlyn nodded, feeling somewhat sympathetic for the man before her. âOkay!â
The night wind grew increasingly chillier, and the sky darkened further.
A cold gust of wind brushing past oneâs ear was akin to a ghostly caress, sending shivers down oneâs spine.
In a secret spot within the forest, a group of men dressed in black stood neatly together.
Before them was their leader, a tall, intimidating man.
His cold, overpowering vibe compelled irresistible submission to him.
âSebastian hasnât returned yet, Mr. Hades.â A man stepped forward and whispered to the leader.
âFind him,â replied Hades. His tone was low and deep, with a hint of iciness.
Clearly, he was displeased by the news.
âRoger.â
Another man then approached Hades, staring at him with a complicated look. âSilvermoon is near, Mr.
Hades. Weâre⦠part of the same organization, after all.â
Hades chuckled. âSilvermoon is but a piece of trash. So what if weâre in the same organization? Canât I complete the mission he fails to?â
His handsome, yet icy expression was exceptionally terrifying, and a crazed look swirled in his eyes.
Silvermoon is constantly stealing my spotlight and credit within the organization. This time⦠Iâll be the one to kill Ashlyn and Lucas!
Everyone was silent, as though they could feel Hadesâ powerful emotions.
Silvermoon and Hades were both right-hand men of the leader of ZZ Organization.
Aside from the leader, the two men possessed the largest amount of authority and power within the organization.
Meanwhile, Lucas and Ashlyn were weaving through the forest, their speed as quick as lighting.
