While York Brimstone and others were busy framing paintings in the studio, Lucas wasn't idle either. After receiving a slap from his father, he was filled with anger, unable to comprehend why his father had hit him, especially in front of so many people.
As he stepped out of the studio and saw William casually sitting on the couch, sipping tea and reading a book, his frustration intensified.
Holding his right cheek, he stormed toward William. As he reached the table, he looked around for a weapon but found nothing. Eventually, he opted to kick William in the face.
However, it wasn't possible for William to be kicked so easily. He merely lifted his eyelids to glance at Lucas, who suddenly felt as if he had plunged into a hellish abyss. His pupils contracted abruptly, his raised leg unable to move forward. He lost his balance and fell stiffly to the ground.
William ignored him and continued reading.
