what!! Aren't you going to mock me now?"
He slowly raised his left hand, flaunting the pulsing purple ring right in front of Lucian's blank eyes.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Adrian's smile widened. "Father personally gifted this high-tier artifact to me on my 14th birthday. It is a symbol of his expectations."
Leaning closer, he tilted his head. "Look closely, brother, and tell me... what did our Father give you on your 14th birthday? Oh, wait... let me guess. Nothing!"
Not a single muscle twitched on Lucian's face. He showed no anger, no irritation, and absolutely no disappointment. It was as if Adrian's words didn't matter to him in the slightest.
Adrian's mocking smile slowly began to fade as he realized his taunts were having zero effect on his brother.
Crack... Shatter!
