Dax and Eleanor stormed towards Lucian with a group of younger family members in tow, shouting at the top of their lungs.
Lucian raised an eyebrow as he looked at them and retorted, “What’s the matter, Sioux Hotel is owned by your Harrison family?”
“You…” Dax stuttered, unable to come up with a response to Lucian’s sharp remark.
“It’s not owned by your family, so mind your own da mn business,” Lucian coldly stated, before turning around with Austin and heading towards the private room they had reserved earlier.
“Grandpa, that guy is just too da mn arrogant”
Leroy cursed loudly, his anger evident in his tone.
“Don’t worry, that kid won’t be acting high and mighty for much longer.”
Dax snorted in response. “He’s only acting this way because he’s riding on Freya’s coattails and has gained favor with the Infernal Group’s chairman. We need to find a way to make Freya divorce him and see how tough he is then.”
“Yeah, we need to get Freya to divorce him!” Aaron exclaimed angrily. “This guy has been messing up our plans all along. Even though he’s not that skilled, he’s always scheming and plotting. With him around, it’s always a ha ssle to get our projects approved. We need to make sure he can’t meddle in our affairs by making him divorce Freya.”
“We’ll deal with that later. Let’s go have dinner with our clients first,” Eleanor interjected, pulling Dax along with her.
Dax led a group of Harrison family members and clients to lunch, while Lucian and Austin sat in the spa cious private room, indulging themselves in food and drinks. After Austin had his fill, he patted his swollen belly with a contented smile, thanking Lucian for his hospitality.
“From now on, you don’t have to call me Mr. War Go d. Just call me Lucian,” said Lucian, taking a drag of his cigarette and blowing a smoke ring.

“Okay, Lucian. Let’s go cure Ms. Freya’s illness,” suggested Austin after a moment of contemplation.
“Alright, let’s go!” Lucian agreed, putting out his cigarette and standing up.
Lucian nodded and led Austin out of the private room. As Lucian was paying the bill, Austin looked at a couple and then his gaze fixed on a particularly cute little girl. His expression became increasingly serious, and he said, “Miss, your daughter is sick and needs immediate treatment. If not, she will lose consciousness in an hour, and if not treated in time, she may die!”
There were quite a few people at the front desk of the restaurant, and when they heard Austin’s words, they suddenly fell silent, all eyes fixed on him.
Especially the waiters, were almost scared to death by Austin’s words.
These two were the infamous Grim Reapers of Sioux, a devilish couple. And this guy dared to say that their daughter was sick! It was well known that the couple cherished their daughter like life itself. What’s the difference between saying that and courting death?
When Thanatos heard this, he immediately erupted in anger and grabbed Austin by the neck, shouting, “You little punk, what did you say?”
Pesta’s face was also full of anger as she stared at Austin.
Austin was being choked by Thanatos, but he remained calm and said, “Your daughter is sick and dying!”
“I’ll f uc king kill you,” Thanatos roared, raising his fist to strike Austin.
It was over!
Everyone around knew what the outcome would be: Austin was going to get beaten to death.
“Boom!”
But Thanatos’ punch didn’t land on Austin. Instead, it was blocked by Lucian.
“Sir, my brother is a doctor, and he says your daughter is not well. Maybe it’s true,

why not let him examine her?” Lucian said with a relatively calm attitude.
“Bull sh it! My daughter is perfectly healthy,” Pesta snapped as she held her precious. daughter, “She gets a check-up every month, and it hasn’t been that long since the last one. How could she be sick? You keep spouting nonsense, and I’ll kill you.”
“But she really is sick,” Austin said pitifully.
“Honey, let’s kill them,” Pesta ordered, fiercely protective of her daughter. The constant accusations about her daughter’s health had touched a nerve.
“Go die!!”
Thanatos was also furious, and he slapped Lucian with great force, obviously with murderous intent.
Lucian instinctively dodged the attack by leaning slightly to the side and then kicked out without thinking. They heard an ‘ah’ sound, and Thanatos was sent flying out, hitting a pillar hard, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Silence…
Deadly silence.
Everyone was stunned, looking at Lucian in disbelief. They never expected him to have such audacity, to actually strike Thanatos.
And he even made Thanatos cough up blood.
Even Pesta was at a loss for words.
“Yeah! Yeah! That’s what you get for biting the hand that feeds you, not recognizing true kindness. Good job, Lucian!” Austin cheered, oblivious to the fact that things had escalated.
“Lucian, what are you doing?” Dax and his clients had finished their meal and were now entering the hall to settle their bill. They were surprised to witness the scene unfolding before them.
Lucian had actually fought Thanatos from the underground world!

Uh-oh, Lucian was in trouble now.
“Grandpa, Lucian just fought Thanatos. He’s done for. He’s our Harrison family’s son- in-law. Could this affect our family’s reputation?” Calvin immediately turned to Dax
and asked.
“It will definitely have an impact.”
Dax was anxious and said, “Who doesn’t know that the Grim Reapers are ruthless? If you offend him, your relatives around you will be retaliated against. Let’s go quickly. This guy has caused big trouble, big trouble!”
The Harrison family quietly left the hotel without disturbing anyone.
“I kindly reminded you, but you treated me like this. Let me tell you, even if you kneel down and beg me to treat your daughter’s illness, I won’t even give you a glance,” Austin said, looking displeased.
“You dog, you’re looking for death,” Pesta’s emotions collapsed, and she raged, pointing at Lucian and shouting, “You said my daughter was sick and hit my husband. I swear to Go d, I will kill you two dogs. Just wait and see.”
Saying that Pesta was about to call someone to kill Lucian.
The hotel owner, who had official connections, arrived at the scene and spoke up, “Pesta, if there’s a problem, please handle it outside of my hotel. Don’t cause a scene
here.”
Pesta nodded gently, holding her child and supporting Thanatos as they left the hotel.
She vowed to remember this grudge.
Back at their villa, The Grim Reapers immediately ordered an investigation into Lucian and Austin’s identities. While they didn’t uncover anything about Austin, they did discover that Lucian was a former Gray family member and now the son-in-law of the Harrison family.
Lucian had been cast out by his own family and was now living with the Harrison family’s heiress, Freya.

“Get everyone together and head to the Harrison family. We’re going to chop this kid to pieces!”
Thanatos lay on the sofa, clutching his chest in pain and roaring in anger,
Soon, all of the Grim Reapers’ men were assembled – over two hundred of them, bristling with murderous intent and armed with knives.
“Let’s go,” the Grim Reapers couple led the charge, determined to kill Lucian.
“Ah…”
Just then, the Grim Reapers’ daughter let out a harrowing scream, spewing blood from her mouth before collapsing unconscious on the ground.
