chapter 76

Eric oozed out a dark aura that made the atmosphere gloomy.He dialed his number.That certain someone didn't pick up. Eric tried another time.Instead he got a response.'Fuck off!'Eric's gaze turned cold. Normally, it wouldn't have affected him, but this time it concerned Lucy. He thought for a moment and dropped a message, not to him though.Exactly two minutes later, his acquaintance called him himself."You bastard Eric! What the fuck did you tell Mom that she is hammering me to go on a blind date!? You know I hate this farce. If you dare interfere in my personal life, then trust me, you will make the Tyson's your enemy! That will be ugly. I don't give a dime if you are the Mafia King!"Eric was absolutely calm and unfazed the whole time."Tell your gang first not to interfere in my work.""What the hell are you spouting?"Eric concisely explained the chain of events."They knew that Shadow Eagle was under the Willson family."Eric's eyes glinted in threat and danger. As he tapped his finger on the armrest, he said, "If anything had happened to Lucy, you would have made the Willson's your enemy. That will be ugly a hundred folds. I don't give a dime if our families have known each other for generations."Silence on the other end."I will deal with this.""I already killed them."He gritted his teeth. "So why are you bothering me?""To make sure this doesn't happen again. This is my order as the King. Nobody, not from any gang in the Underworld would ever touch or harm Lucy."There was a long pause."You have changed. You never threatened anybody 'for' anybody."Eric didn't respond."But do you think your happy days are gonna last long with how you killed Luca Hale?"His eyelashes slightly trembled."I didn't know she was her sister.""And is that your excuse?""Is it not convincing enough?"He suddenly burst into laughter. "Well good luck with that."He hung up.Eric's lips stretched into a thin line.Even talking disrespectfully about Luca Hale had made Lucy so angry.What would she do if she knew the truth?I…He softly touched his chest, feeling restless. A strange uneasiness gripped his heart.I will never let her find the truth.---
