" How can you even think of doing this? " Norton asked in a deep yet concerned tone. His emerald blue eyes reflected all the worries he was trying to conceal.
"It's not like we are doing this for the first time. " Lucian nonchalantly spoke as he wore his black tie with an emerald green paisley design.
Not every day, do you see a dangerous individual with a thing for designer ties.
" It is the first time you will do this in such a high level of danger! How can you not see it?! " Norton exclaimed with a mix of anger and frustration. It's like explaining to a toddler why he mustn't eat crayons.
" Do you understand what the consequences will be if things go wrong? " Norton asked, shooting daggers at Lucian, who did not seem concerned about what Norton said.
He was busy buttoning up his teal-green satin shirt cuff sleeves.
Looking at Lucian's calm demeanor, Norton felt like punching him in the face with punching gloves.
" Does it have to be inside the Serenity campus ? " Norton asked exasperatedly. Hoping he could convince him not to go inside the Serenity campus—a place of rampant organ harvesting.
Also, the country's best medical institutes.
" Oh come on, Norton. " Lucian snickered. " That institute is the epicenter of all this. They will definitely try to strike me down there. "
The confidence in his voice was Norton's worst fear.
" Yeah, but that does not mean that you must make yourself the scapegoat for that !! "
" Bait, Norton. It is called a bait. "
" Shut up, you nerd. "
" Why must my own brother be soo rude to me ? "
" I am trying to keep you alive, you idiot. "
" And you have always been successful in keeping me alive "
" That is because I never allowed you to do anything like this. "
" But unfortunately for you, I grew up. "
" Don't make me break your legs and tie you up, Lucian. "
" Well aren't you a violent man. "
" Lucian, why are you doing this ?! DO YOU WANT TO DIE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ?! "
Norton screamed loud enough to have his voice echo throughout the mansion.
His scream saddened and angered Lucian, after all, it was a rule the brothers had set up a long time ago. To never raise voices at one another.
" You are not doing this. I am not asking you. I am telling you, it's an order. If you refuse then I will not hesitate to tie you up and keep you locked up inside the house. " Norton spoke calmly, trying his best not to scream again.
" Just invite them to the headquarters and have a casual business talk with them, okay? " Norton said in a serious low tone. His dark gaze told Lucian not to play any tricks.
