Chương 135: Thirst For Blood

"Sir, it's an older person. He said that he knows you. His name is Steven." Lucas smiled and chuckled when he heard that Steven was caught.

"I know him, bring him to the roof."

"Yes!" Lucas closed his phone and looked at Allison.

"I've got to go, a friend came here."

"Okay…" Allison nodded absentmindedly, she was still thinking about her parents. He kissed her on the head and began heading out. It didn't take long, and Lucas arrived on the rooftop. There he saw the old man, Steven, looking down on the town.

"It's a good view, isn't it?" Steven turned around when he heard his voice, his gaze towards Lucas was full of hesitation and disbelief.

"Is it true?"

"What?" Lucas narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was on about.

"Boy! Don't lie to me! Are you a shapeshifter?" Steven shouted as he approached him aggressively. Lucas' gaze turned sharp, he didn't care about his outburst, but where the news came from.

"So it's true!" Steven didn't need an answer as Lucas' silence was enough.

"Last time it happened, our families were almost destroyed by her existence!" Lucas concentrated on him, his tone became unfriendly.

"Don't forget that I'm the only Ashford in the world!"

"You!" Steven pointed his trembling finger at him, his face twisted in anger. Lucas swept his finger aside and responded sarcastically.

"And you shouldn't talk about your ancestor like this." Seeing him about to burst out again, Lucas put his hand in front.

"Alright, stop! You are already this old, you should be calmer. Tell me the real reason you're angry." Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there. Steven glared at him for a few seconds, then sighed.

"The whole world knows it! You have a bounty on your damn head!"

"Bounty?" Lucas stroked his chin in thought, obviously, the Deadpool list was less likely to be created now that he stole all of the money.

"How much?"

"30 million dollars! The worst is that it was only 20 yesterday!" Steven grabbed his head as a massive headache hit him. He could already imagine every hunter looking for a piece of Lucas.

"It seems I got a better start than Luffy!" Lucas exclaimed in amusement.

"Who the hell is Luffy?!" Steven shouted angrily as he couldn't believe that he was so relaxed about this. Lucas smiled and didn't answer. Of course he knew what was coming, but he had been preparing for this for a long time. A devilish grin formed on his face, in fact, his thirst for blood was still strong. He then glanced at Steven.

"The world will once again tremble at the Ashford name!" Steven's eyes widened, he could see in those eyes the thirst for slaughter.

"Y-you are crazy!"

"What could I say, it runs in the family." He shrugged his shoulders and smiled happily at being called that.

"How did our hunters react?"

"React? Most of the usual people don't even come to the bar anymore. They are already thinking of how to kill you." Lucas opened his mouth to respond, but just then the door opened and John walked in.

"You called?" John glanced at Steven but didn't ask who he was. Lucas glanced at him and nodded.

"How many men do we have?"

"We already recruited 30 men, most are ready for combat as they were in the military field. But why?"

"I have a bounty of 30 million dollars on my head, it's a good enough reason?" Lucas smiled mischievously as he watched his expression. John was shocked for a second, but then his expression dropped and his voice turned cold.

"Do we know how many hostiles we have?" Lucas shook his head, even he didn't know how many there were.

"I'm not sure, but possibly hundreds, that is… until some of them die." John thought for a moment, then he nodded.

"Our ammunition is full, we are ready, just give the order."

"Good! I want to see blood." Lucas' eyes dropped and they both looked like villains. Steven, on the side, was dumbfounded by the two. Lucas was crazy enough, he wondered where he found another lunatic like him. Lucas then watched John walk away and he turned towards Steven.

"Do they know what I am?" Steven was confused by the question and shook his head.

"I don't know, I just heard that you're an Alpha, so a werewolf?"

"Then I know when they will most likely strike." A grin formed on his lips as he thought of the Lunar Eclipse. On that night, the werewolves would become vulnerable.

"You do?" Steven was confused, but Lucas' grin made him tempted to punch him, he didn't like the riddles at all.
