I Was Hoping She Would Notice but again Now When She Did... Im Tired

Chapter 192 hammer out

Lucian's voice was low, almost a whisper, but it carried the weight of his barely contained rage. "Well, well... It's not even fun when I lose control like this. I don't like myself when I do... but if I don't let it out, I'm afraid I might...destroy everything in sight."

His hand, still twitching from the violence he had unleashed, rested on Luna's head. The brutal impact had left her motionless, her face pressed into the blood-smeared floor. Whether she was dead or unconscious, it was unclear, but the sight was enough to make the gathered crowd shudder.

Blood splatters dotted Lucian's face, tiny crimson reminders of his fury. He looked deranged, teetering on the edge of madness, his breathing heavy and erratic. His eyes, wild and dark, flicked to the crowd gathered outside the broken doorway, their horrified faces reflecting the sheer brutality of what they had just witnessed.

"Now, now... I can't wait to... torture you," Lucian whispered to himself, a chilling promise as he slowly rose to his feet. His body loomed over Luna's crumpled form, his foot stepping over her without a second glancem

He turned his attention to Tony, who stood frozen, his eyes wide with fear, darting between Luna's unconscious body and Lucian's menacing approach. Lucian's voice, twisted with a sadistic edge, cut through the tense air."Oh, don't tell me... you really thought I wouldn't do anything just because she's a woman and there are people watching?" His smile stretched wider, a grotesque grin that sent shivers down the spines of those watching. "How naive."

Tony's throat bobbed as he swallowed hard, his confidence crumbling under Lucian's predatory gaze. He stammered, trying to regain control. "You... you guys! Stop this lunatic! Can't you see he's crazy? Fkkk, where is humanity?"He screamed toward the onlookers gathered in the hallway, desperation thick in his voice.

The crowd exchanged uncertain glances. They knew both Lucian and Tony weren't ordinary men they were connected to powerful families, untouchable by normal standards. Intervening would be madness. Some shifted uncomfortably, edging toward the exit, unwilling to involve themselves in the escalating chaos. A few daring souls stayed, their curiosity outweighing their fear, but even they seemed hesitant.

Tony's panic escalated as he realized the crowd was unwilling to act. His voice cracked with urgency "Mfking guards! Where are you?Come fast! Is this what my father pays you for? This? How slow can you guys even be?"

On her knees, Rose watched Lucian approaching, tears streaming down her face as a fragile smile broke through. Despite everything she had done, he was still here, still protecting her.

He came… he still came for me.

Her heart twisted with guilt. Even after all I've put him through… I don't deserve this. I don't deserve his protection, his care.

Memories flooded back, dragging her to the last time she was in peril, the time Lucian had saved her from a similar situation. Here he was again, the constant shield she didn't feel worthy of.

I haven't even repaid the old debt, and now I'm adding more. How am I supposed to pay him back? God, is this some sort of punishment?

The weight of her gratitude and guilt pressed heavily on her.These favors… they're too heavy. How do I even begin to repay him?

Her thoughts spiraled, racing with insecurities. He's seeing me like this, weak and vulnerable. What must he think? Will he misunderstand why I'm here? I never come to nightclubs... this whole situation is a misunderstanding.

She wanted to rise, to explain, to throw her arms around him and apologize for always being the source of his troubles. But her body, weakened by the drugs coursing through her veins, betrayed her. Heat and dizziness clouded her strength.

Lucian's steps never faltered as he approached Tony, his gaze cold and unrelenting. His voice, calm yet laced with a chilling edge, cut through the tension"You, boy... you've chosen the wrong person to mess with. It's almost tragic how bad your choice was." He whispered the words as if genuinely pitying Tony's poor decision.

Tony forced a nervous laugh, adjusting his glasses with trembling fingers. "Hey, dude, why are you getting so worked up? I know she's your sister, but who doesn't know about your strained relationship? Don't you think if you had just let me have her, she would've been out of your way? You could've gained complete control over the family business." His voice tried to sound persuasive, but the fear underlying it betrayed him"You just threw away your golden chance… for a sister who hates you."

Tony thought he was clever, trying to manipulate Lucian with half-truths he had gleaned from his research. He had studied Rose, knew their history, and tried to exploit it.

Lucian tilted his head slightly, a dangerous smile playing on his lips"Nice try… but who the fuck do you think you are?"

In a blur, Lucian moved, sensing a kick aimed at his back. He dodged effortlessly, turning to see at least twenty men in black suits Tony's bodyguards flooding into the room, their presence filling the space with tension. Their hulking forms and bulging muscles suggested they were ready to fight.

Tony exhaled heavily, relief flooding his features. He adjusted his glasses again, regaining a semblance of control. Thank God.

Lucian's gaze swept over the guards, his expression darkening. So this is the cavalry? He sighed inwardly, knowing the fight was about to escalate. His eyes narrowed, focusing on the challenge ahead, unflinching as he prepared for the onslaught.

The room buzzed with unspoken tension, the guards positioning themselves, ready to attack, while the onlookers outside the door watched, their breaths held, unsure of what would happen next. The crowd murmured in awe and fear, unsure whether to intervene or flee.

Lucian's voice broke the silence, his tone unwavering. "So, this is what you've got?Twenty meatheads against me? You should've brought more." The words hung in the air, a taunt that promised devastation.

Lucian's voice thundered through the room, drowning out the chaotic murmurs. "Whatever. I'm not here to beat them. My target is you. So why the fuck would I waste my time?" His eyes burned with unrestrained fury as he ignored the advancing guards, zeroing in on Tony.

Before anyone could react, Lucian disappeared from his spot, reappearing beside Tony in an instant. The room seemed to hold its breath, the guards barely able to register the movement when

PAAKKK!

A sickening crack followed by Tony's ear-piercing scream echoed through the room. The onlookers flinched, horrified gasps filling the air. "AHHHHHHHHH!"

Lucian loomed over Tony, a menacing silhouette against the flickering lights of the club. His voice was ice, each word cutting like a blade"Don't think your death will be painless, You'll beg me to kill you."

He casually rested a massive, blood-streaked hammer on his shoulder.The heavy metal head glistened ominously under the dim lights, a stark contrast to the agony written all over Tony's face. The once-confident man writhed on the floor, his leg twisted grotesquely at an impossible angle, the bones jutting in a way that made even the bravest spectators shudder.

"AHHHHHHHHH! My leg! MY LEG!"Tony's screams pierced the room as he clutched at his shattered limb, the pain overwhelming him.

"How...How did that hammer even appear?" one of the bald-headed guards whispered, fear creeping into his voice as he watched the horrifying scene unfold.His eyes darted back to Lucian, who had moved too fast for anyone to see, his presence now a terrifying enigma.

Lucian's face remained expressionless, save for the faint twitch of a smile, as he turned back toward Rose, his voice softening just slightly."Rose, close your eyes, will you?" His attempt at gentleness was betrayed by the blood spattered across his face, making him look more monstrous than merciful.

Rose, her body still weak and trembling from the drugs, stared blankly at Lucian.Yet, there was no disgust or fear in her eyes, only a hollow recognition. It's just like that time… she thought, Lucian's voice echoing in her mind. Without a word, she obeyed, her eyelids fluttering shut as a tear escaped, tracing down her cheek.She wasn't sure if it was from relief, sadness, or the overwhelming mix of emotions suffocating her.

Lucian straightened, turning his attention back to the guards. His eyes, dark and devoid of mercy, locked onto them. He raised the hammer, pointing it directly at the line of men frozen in fear."You all… you're going to die today. No joke."

The room chilled as Lucian's gaze bore into them, a promise of violence hanging thick in the air. His voice dropped to a menacing growl as he turned back to Tony, who was still writhing in agony"And you, big boy… I'm going to turn your bones to FKING POWDER with this hammer."

HAHAHAHAAA TOUCHING MY SISTER

MY ROSE

Lucian's maniacal laugh erupted, filling the room with a sound so unsettling that it sent a shiver down everyone's spine. The crowd at the door recoiled, their initial curiosity turning into sheer terror.

Tony's eyes widened in horror as Lucian loomed closer"Please... Please, no," he whimpered, his earlier bravado crumbling into pitiful pleading.

But Lucian wasn't listening. His world had narrowed to this moment, to the retribution he would exact. "Believe me," Lucian hissed, his voice cold and deliberate. "I know the human body inside and out. I won't let you die. I'll make sure every second is agony."

The crowd, once a murmuring mass of onlookers, now stood in stunned silence, the weight of Lucian's promise heavy in the air. Some began to back away, others swallowed hard, their faces pale as they realized the carnage was far from over.
