Chapter 325: Your revenge is complete
"It was Matteo’s fault that he lied to us and fooles us till the very end," Tsar pronounced. "If only he had told me the truth, he would have been alive. I gave him one chance, Lucius. But he refused to open his mouth and even lied to me that he didn’t know you!"
Lucius didn’t say anything as he just blankly stare at him.
"Lucius, forgive us. We are your family. We won’t ever ask for you to join us and let you live the way you want," Tsar asked for one and only chance.
However, Lucius’s next move truly surprised not only him, but the others present in the hall too. He turned to face Vladimir, who was still writhing on the floor in pain.
Lucius pulled him up and punched Vladimir hard before kicking him away. Tsar shouted at him to stop, but it seemed like Lucius had fallen deaf. He kept punching Vladimir and finally asked tilting his head while holding Vladimir with his collar, "Did you hit Matteo the same way, Tsar?"
"Lucius, stop it! I was the one, who killed Matteo, so hit me as much as you want," Tsar screamed at him, trying to get free from the restraints in his hands, but it was of no use.
"Why? Why should I listen to you? Matteo might have asked to stop, but you hit him until he was dead, didn’t you, before shooting him?" Lucius asked. "I am ruthless, Tsar. I lost the empathy toward my real parents a long time ago. That’s why you, your father and my mother never mattered to me. You all turned me into like this," he stated and shoved away Vladimir, who fell to the ground while coughing blood.
Why did you kill Antoine?" he demanded the answer to another question. "Who ordered the hit on my brother? Why were we your targets?"
A bitter chuckle escaped Tsar’s lips before he spat, "Because of your mother." His expression twisted with anger. "She lied to us. She claimed she lost her child in a miscarriage. My father searched for her for years desperately. And all this time, that woman was living a comfortable life under a false identity."
