Alice never expected Lucien to actually mistake William as her father, even going so far as to address him as 'Mr. Turner.'
William raised an eyebrow, "My surname is Johnson. You can call me Mr. Johnson."
"Mr. Johnson, earlier..." Lucien began, but upon realizing his mistake, his face turned a blend of red and white. Outraged, he pointed at William and spat out, "You're not Alice's father!"
William chuckled, "I never said I was her biological father."
"You!" In a fit of anger, Lucien conjured a ball of intense fire and hurled it at William.
William didn't even bat an eye. The flame vanished into thin air a meter away from him.
Lucien assumed that it was Alice who deflected the fireball with some invisible sword technique, casting a slightly frustrated glance at her.
He just couldn't understand why Alice would be attracted to the seemingly useless man before him.
