"You're going to pay for this," the cowardly man yelled towards Lucien as he staggered back in fear. Since it was pretty wild spread that Lucien Sky was a madman, he was afraid that the Alpha was actually going to beat him up right then and there after catching him off guard. He brought so many men to intimidate him into giving up the Leader position but he did not expect that it would not even make him bat one eye. Lucien was too high on his horse and had become too arrogant even though his position was much lower than his.

"I'm not always free, you see. Why don't you make me pay now? You're already here," Lucien responded and although he sounded arrogant, there were no emotions visible on his face whatsoever making the cowardly man shake in anger. This was what he didn't like about Lucien, he didn't know his position and only believed in his strength. It's like he believed that he can solve everything just by being violent. This is why he can't be the leader, or so he thought.

In reality, Lucien was more than capable. This is why the previous leader—the Secretary of Defense—favored him to an extent. Not only that, but Lucien also captured many high-position members in the organization and they truly believed that if it was Lucien who would soon lead them, he would bring their goal to fruition. Just that, he only had one flow. Lucien wasn't interested in leading and he did have violent tendencies that he was nicknamed as a madman. Despite that, a lot of the members believed that Lucien was the perfect leader they were looking for.

And thus, a plan was made to make Lucien want the seat. And that was to provoke him. To poke his pride until he'd want to take the seat that was rightfully his.

"Lucien Sky, you truly are a madman!" The cowardly man growled, glaring at the fellow Alpha but instead, Lucien just laughed it off. He already knew people called him a madman. And truthfully, he didn't care. In fact, it really suits him... since he really is a madman. A crazy psychopath that takes enjoyment out of beating someone to death. He finds satisfaction in someone's despair and misery, to the point that he'd cause that same despair and misery for his own pleasure and entertainment. What else would one call him except for a madman?! It does not make him mad at all.

"Hahahaha, you said that and you still came here. Do you want me to skin you alive? I haven't tried it before but I had been thinking about it a lot for a long time now. Would you do me the honors and make my dream come true? Maybe if you did I'll give up the seat that you so wanted," Lucien provoked. He really wasn't planning to take any role in leading the organization since he was already happy where he was but this man was really making him want to tease him. Seeing his face twitch both in fear and anger, really makes him want to skin him alive. He wondered if the man could still make the same expression once he peeled the skin off of his face. Just thinking about it makes him goosebumps in excitement.

Lucien neared the man provoking him to tease him a little more and he chuckled seeing him take a step back and ever so slightly caught his knees shaking in fear. He wanted to tease him a little more when he noticed one of his young subordinates enter the room in a hurry. Lucien halted his approach and looked at the newly arrived man but he didn't ask what was the matter and instead waited for the young man to deliver his message.

"Boss, t-the guest e-escaped..." as soon as the message was relayed, Lucien's eyes turned dark but again, he didn't say anything. "A-And... it seemed that w-we have been infiltrated," the young subordinate added and finished his report, making Lucien even more furious as he glared at an empty space. He thought for a brief moment before he looked at Apollo who was all this time in the room with him all.

"Can you handle the intruders?" Lucien asked. Well, he knew better than anyone that it would be better for him to handle the intruders than Apollo but Fyre is his priority now. He already had him right under his nose, he can't let him escape again.
