Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 844: What I've Always Wanted Is to Kill You Luke was utterly stunned.

Just a moment ago, he thought Jared was merely testing him. But now... it was clear that all the evidence had already been gathered.

Luke weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Dorothy Russell? She wasn't worth a second thought.

An old hag of her age, still dreaming she could seduce him? He had only ever tolerated her because she was researching an immortality elixir, and because Dorothy Russell was someone his aunt needed. Naturally, he had done everything he could to protect her.

That said, Dorothy Russell's methods of seduction were never the same. Despite her age, she still managed to ignite his desires. Every the was with her, he felt a twisted thrill-like overpowering an elder beneath him. Even if Dorothy Russell failed to develop the immortality elixir, she could still serve as a warm bed companion. But now, he had no choice but to make a decision.

Seeing Luke remain silent, Grandpa Langdon's face darkened. He slapped Luke fiercely across the face, his voice thunderous with rage.

"You bastard! What have you done?" The slap carried immense force, enhanced by Grandpa Langdon's internal energy. Blood trickled from the corner of Luke's mouth. Turning his head, he wiped the blood away and stared at Grandpa Langdon with a wicked smirk. "What have I done? Naturally, I've taken charge-crushing all of you beneath my feet!" Carl erupted in fury upon hearing this. Pointing at Luke, he shouted, trembling with rage, "I knew it! You ungrateful snake! You've been scheming all along!" Then, Carl turned to Grandpa Langdon. "Dad, take a good look! This is the heir you wanted to promote! He's going to destroy the Langdon family!" Grandpa Langdon was trembling with anger. He glared at Luke and demanded, "When did you start plotting this?" Tina and Jared stood silently to the side, clearly representing the government. Their presence signified that the situation had escalated to the point of making the government wary-wary enough to uproot the hidden families entirely. Luke couldn't have cup with this plan in just a few days. Otherwise, it wouldn't have alarmed the government to this extent.

Luke chuckled. "When?" Lowering his eyes, he seemed to think seriously about the question. Then, he smiled coldly.

"So long ago that I've forgotten. Probably when I was ten years old!" "What?!" Grandpa Langdon frowned deeply, narrowing his eyes. "Back then, did you want to replaceor kill me?" Nearby, Tina and Jared stood motionless, gesturing for Hayden and Nathan to stop what they were doing. The group remained silent, watching the unfold.

Luke's smile deepened, tinged with malice.

"Of course, it was to kill you." Grandpa Langdon froze for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha! I've met countless people in my lifetime, but I never thought I'd raise a wolf cub with my own hands. You hid it well-even I was fooled!" "If I didn't hide it well, how could you have trustedenough to teachyour abilities?" Luke raised his head, his eyes burning with intense hatred as they met Grandpa Langdon's.

"I flattered you, faked smiles, and played the obedient grandson, all to learn everything you knew, earn your approval, and take over the Langdon family." He swept his gaze across the room, his eyes finally landing on Carl. With a scornful sneer, he said, "Once I take over the Langdon family, your days are numbered." "You think you can kill me?" Grandpa Langdon scoffed coldly. "Don't underestimate me. I've mastered my abilities, yet both of my sons turned out to be useless!" "Is that so?" Luke retorted. Without warning, he unleashed a fierce palm strike at Grandpa Langdon.

Grandpa Langdon's expression shifted as he dodged to the side. "You're a fifth-tier too?!" "I've been fifth-tier for a long time," Luke said, his voice brimming with confidence. "Though I'm not strong enough to kill you yet, I can still seriously injure you." Turning his gaze to Tina and Jared, he sneered.

"All I needed was a little more tto surpass him. But you two ruined my plans. Why did you have to show up now? Why couldn't you wait until I killed him myself?" He clenched his fists, his voice trembling with rage.

"He forced my mother to have me, then abandoned us both. He's nothing but trash. He should've died long ago! I was so close-why?! Why did you interfere?!" "Because you're stupid. Because you're reckless," Tina said calmly. Luke's face darkened. "No! It's because you got in my way!" Tina sneered. "You wanted to avenge your mother. There were countless ways to do it, yet you chose the dumbest one." Her gaze lifted slightly, her tone cold and sharp.

"You knew all along that the person behind you, the one researching the immortality elixir, was using you. She doesn't care about the Langdon family or your revenge. What she wants is to overthrow this era and return to the old world, where she can rule as a tyrant!" "Luke, the government's strength today was built on the sacrifices of countless heroes. The people's prosperity was earned through the blood and tears of those who cbefore us. You want to overthrow this era? Did you ask the government? Did you ask the people? Did you ask me?" Tina wasn't the type to preach morality. By nature, she was someone who always repaid grievances with vengeance.

But thanks to her mother's influence, she had grown to love this government.

She hadn't wanted to work for them originally, but now that she had taken on this task, she felt obligated to protect it.

If someone wanted to overthrow this era, they would have to step over her dead body first.

And she believed that even if she fell, countless others like her-people who loved this government-would rise to stop such a conspiracy.

Sinoria's authority was not to be challenged.

Luke's expression stiffened, his voice bitter with self-mockery.

"I didn't want to work for her either. But she promised to helptake control of the Langdon family! All I wanted was revenge!" He never intended to overthrow this era.

He wasn't an idiot. Sinoria's thousand-year history had culminated in today's powerful government.

If the era were truly overthrown and the world ruled by one tyrant, what good would controlling the Langdon family even do him? What he wanted had always been simple-Grandpa Langdon's and Carl's lives.

Given his abilities, killing Carl was easy. Killing Grandpa Langdon, however, was a far greater challenge.

He needed external help, and that help cfrom his so-called aunt.

In truth, that so-called aunt wasn't even really his aunt.

Grandpa Langdon had no siblings. That woman-everyone called her Claudia.

As for Claudia's true identity, Luke didn't know, nor could he find out. All he knew was that her power was n.

immense. How powerful? Powerful enough to be invulnerable to weapons.

To Luke, Claudia was a monster. He had no choice but to obey her.

No one dared betray Claudia. The consequences of betrayal were too horrific to imagine.

"You think she can help you get revenge?" Tina sneered.

"With her abilities, she could easily destroy the Langdon family. But destroying the Langdon family isn't what she really wants." Tina's gaze turned icy, her voice sharp as a blade.

"What she wants is the Langdon family's greatest treasure-the Jade Armour!" Grandpa Langdon's face paled at her words. He seemed to have realized who Claudia truly was.

He shot Luke a furious glare, then walked over to Tina. Bowing slightly, he said, "The Langdon family will cease resisting. We are willing to accept government investigation and hereby withdraw from the ranks of the hidden families. I only ask that you spare my niece's life." "You mean Kylie Lambert?" Tina asked.
