MTLNOVEL Chapter 191: Psychopath
Lucian stood in the doorway, frozen for a moment as the hellish scene unfolded before him. His gaze locked onto the shirtless man, Tony, who held Rose by the hair, forcing her to her knees. Rose's legs swung weakly as she struggled to free herself, tears streaming down her flushed, drugged face.
Lucian's eyes flicked to the woman with light brown hair Luna. She held a camera, its lens trained on Rose and Tony, capturing every degrading second. Luna's face was a mask of fear, her hands trembling as she realized who had just burst into the room.
For a fleeting moment, Lucian closed his eyes, as if to block out the horror, to calm the fury surging through his veins. When he opened them again, they were filled with an unrelenting rage, his entire body radiating with barely contained violence.
The sudden, violent crash of the door breaking had drawn everyone's attention to him. Luna's scared expression froze as she stood like a deer in headlights, her camera still focused on Rose but her wide, terrified eyes now on Lucian.
Tony's face drained of all color, the smug confidence he had moments ago evaporating into sheer panic. He released Rose's hair abruptly, letting her collapse onto the floor, her weak sobs filling the room.
"Lucian…," Rose's trembling voice broke through the tense silence, a mix of relief and despair in her tear-stricken eyes as she looked up at her brother. "You… finally… cough…" Her body convulsed as she tried to speak, her strength almost gone.
Lucian's heart shattered seeing his sister like this so broken, so vulnerable. Tears welled up in his own eyes, streaking down his face as he took in the horror before him. He had never imagined, not even in his worst nightmares, that he would find his sister in such a state. His heart pounded in his chest, the sound almost deafening as his fury surged.
Tony's mind raced, terror gripping him as he realized his carefully orchestrated plan had unraveled. He had no time to consider how Lucian had broken down the door with a single kick. There was only one thought pounding through his head now: damage control.
"GUARDS!" Tony screamed, his voice shrill with desperation. His last card to play.He needed to stall, to remove Lucian from the equation long enough to carry out his despicable plan. He had to act fast. His only option was to forcefully take Rose now, before the situation spiraled further. If the public found out, he was finished.
"Beat this guy up!" Tony barked, his voice cracking as he pointed at Lucian, his panic palpable"Take Rose to another room before anyone else interferes! If anyone gets in your way, use the guns if you have to!"
Tony's eyes darted to Luna, whose face was contorted in fear and confusion"Luna, stop this motherfucker!"he shouted, his voice a frantic plea wrapped in an order.
"Eh? M-me?"Luna stammered, looking between Tony and Lucian. Her hands trembled, still holding the camera. She hesitated, the weight of what Tony was asking crushing her.
"Yes! Now!" Tony's eyes burned into hers, his expression a terrifying blend of fury and desperation.
"I… y-yes, I'll do it," Luna whispered, her voice weak but resigned. Despite the horror of the situation, her blind love for Tony pushed her forward.She would do anything for him, even now.
Lucian didn't wait. His voice was low, filled with venom, as he muttered, "You all will pay for every single tear you've made my sister shed. Your death shall not be easy."
A broken, disfigured smile spread across his face, a chilling mix of fury and madness. His eyes gleamed with a dangerous light, promising pain.
Luna, seeing the escalating danger, moved quickly. She stuffed her phone into her pocket, then snatched a knife from the table nearby. Her hands trembled, but her face was set with grim determination. She didn't care about the consequences anymore she would do whatever Tony asked, no matter how twisted.

Meanwhile, outside the room, the commotion drew the attention of the nightclub's patrons. The music had stopped, and curious onlookers rushed toward the source of the disturbance, filling the hallway outside the room.
"Hey, what's going on in there?"someone whispered, craning their neck to get a better view.
"Looks like they're having too much fun,"another muttered sarcastically, trying to lighten the heavy atmosphere.
"Wait, isn't that Tony? Yeah, and that's Luna, his eternal sidekick."
"What the hell are they doing? Who's that girl on the floor?"
The shattered furniture and broken glass scattered around the room painted a grim picture The crowd murmured, piecing together the scene.
"Did Tony try to… rape that woman?" one voice said, shock rippling through the gathered crowd.
"Who's that guy?" another pointed toward Lucian. "Did he break down that door?"
"Is he the boyfriend of the woman Tony was trying to?"
"Wait a minute…" A voice rose above the whispers. "That's Rose Kane. She's the daughter of the Kane family. One of the big four."
Gasps followed. "Is Tony out of his mind? He actually tried to hurt someone from the Kane family?"
More murmurs filled the air as fear spread. "And that guy… That's Lucian Kane, her brother."
"Fuck," someone whispered harshly, realizing the gravity of the situation"Tony just signed his death warrant...kane family won't let him or his family go."

In the crowd, a man wearing a black suit, dark glasses, and a bald head stood out. He observed the scene with a cold, calculating gaze before pulling out his phone. His attention remained on Tony as he spoke quietly into the receiver.
"Hello, boss. Young Master Tony tried to rape Miss Rose as we planned, but there's a problem. The plan has been fully exposed. Lucian Kane is here, and he's about to start a fight."
From the other end of the call, a rough, middle-aged man's voice barked, filled with anger and frustration"You useless piece of shit! You had one job. How did you let this happen? Do you realize what it means to face the wrath of one of the top four families?"
"I understand, sir," the man replied, his voice steady, though beads of sweat formed on his brow. "What are your orders?"
"Take care of that kid," the boss growled. "Kidnap the girl and get my boy Tony out of there, no matter what. I'm sending reinforcements 300-40 men. They'll be there soon, even if the police show up before then. Handle it."
"Yes, sir."The man ended the call respectfully, sliding his phone back into his pocket. His eyes flicked to a group of men in similar black suits hidden among the onlookers. He nodded subtly, signaling them to move into action.
Lucian whispered to himself, his voice barely audible, but laced with disbelief and mounting fury. "Wow…I am shocked,"he muttered, his gaze locked on Tony and Luna, and the hellish scene unfolding before him.
His anger surged, rising like a tidal wave, threatening to consume him whole He clenched his fists, his entire body trembling with the effort to contain it.
"When was the last time I got this angry?" he asked himself, his tone cold and detached. Then, as if a memory had flickered to life, his eyes narrowed"Ah, yes... Rose's kidnapping. Back then, I fired three nukes, didn't I?" A hollow, almost maniacal laugh escaped his lips. "I should control myself now."
Lucian placed a trembling hand on his face, trying to mask the twisted, unhinged smile that had begun to spread. His fingers dug into his skin as though he could physically restrain the madness threatening to spill over The dark thoughts circling his mind terrified even him.
"Don't lose control, Lucian,"he whispered, the plea sounding more like a command. "It won't be good for this world... mI might do something something I'll regret."
His breathing quickened, his chest heaving as he fought to steady himself"I need to control myself, or...I'LL FKING DO SOMETHING BAD!"
The last words erupted from him like a volcanic explosion, his voice reverberating through the room.
Just then, Luna rushed at him, her knife raised, aiming directly for his heart. But Lucian didn't flinch, didn't move to dodge. Instead, his hands shot up, blindingly fast, seizing her by the head.
Pakkkkk!
A deafening crack echoed as Lucian slammed Luna's head into the floor with brutal force.The sound of bone meeting tile was sickening, making the entire room wince. Blood splattered across Lucian's face, warm droplets streaking his cheeks. The knife Luna had held flew from her grasp, clattering to the ground with a series of metallic taps.
The room fell into an eerie silence.
Lucian knelt over Luna's unconscious form, blood pooling beneath her head. His breathing was ragged, uneven. Slowly, his gaze lifted, his eyes burning with an unholy light.
"Hehehe…"His laughter was low, almost a growl. "It was you, wasn't it?"He tilted his head, his voice dropping to a chilling whisper. "You brought my sister into this, didn't you?"
His laughter grew louder, more deranged"How sad… You chose the wrong side, WOMEN."
The room was frozen. Onlookers, Tony, even Rose all stood in stunned silence, the violence of Lucian's actions sending chills down their spines. No one dared to move, no one dared to breathe too loudly.
One of the onlookers whispered, voice trembling, "Did... did he just do that to a woman?"
Another gulped audibly, the sound harsh in the quiet room. "That... that was brutal. Is he... a psychopath?"
