Chapter 1171 The Possessiveness Of Lucas

Everyone knew that Lucas had no interest in women and had always been a loner. In the past, when people intentionally sent women to his room, he would always throw them out.

This is unbelievable!

Leroy's eyes widened in shock as he stared unblinkingly at Ashlyn.

Ashlyn gave Leroy an indifferent glance, her lips a delicate shade of crimson.

In that instant, Leroy, who was the mayor of Zaewora, felt a chill run through his entire body.

Such a strong and icy gaze!

“Mr. Lancer?”

Leroy was still staring blankly at Ashlyn when a stern voice rang out, causing him to come back to his senses.

With a hint of panic, he lifted his gaze, only to find Lucas staring at him coldly.

Possessiveness and displeasure filled Lucas' eyes. Leroy caught his breath, feeling awkward.

“Ah, Mr. Nolan, I—”

“There won't be a next time!”

Leroy was about to stammer out an apology even though he didn't know why he felt the need to apologize when Lucas cut him off. The latter's eyes were filled with an unmistakable air of displeasure, and annoyance was written all over his face.

A chill of apprehension instantly crept up Leroy's back.

Why did I stare at Lucas Nolan's woman? Am I courting death?

Lucas gently set Ashlyn down on the ground, taking her soft little hand into his large one. Only then did he speak in a cold voice. “Let's go.”

“Yes, yes, Mr. Nolan. Please come this way.”

Quickly, Leroy extended his hand in a gesture of invitation and dared not glance at Ashlyn again.

Lucas, who hailed from H Nation, founded new energy and was the overseer of Section Six which was no ordinary organization and place.

They were still relying on Lucas' new energy technology here in Zaewora.

I've heard that he's always been domineering and strong, exceptionally cold, and his methods are decisively ruthless.

Even though I am a mayor and have seen many grand scenes and met many important figures, I still can't help but feel intimidated when facing him.

The reason for inviting Lucas this time was due to an issue with the development of new energy. Those high-tech advanced systems seemed to have contracted a virus or perhaps been hit by the Trojan horse virus, causing them all to be paralyzed.

No matter how their technicians analyzed and cracked it, they just couldn't gain control.

Their costly initiative to introduce new energy from Section Six could only end up being shelved.

Ashlyn looked at Leroy, who was carefully and respectfully leading the way ahead, then took a glance at the domineering and possessive man beside her. She couldn't help but curve her lips into a smile.

Mr. Nolan is indeed as formidable as rumored, exuding dominance wherever he goes.

Ashlyn couldn't help but feel a wave of joy in her heart at Lucas' strong defense and display of possessiveness just now.

It feels... like he's insanely concerned about me.

She followed Lucas closely as they entered the mansion, and then arrived in the grand hall.

Upon seeing the scene before her, Ashlyn furrowed her brows.

She had long known that in Zaewora, men had always been held in higher regard than women.

The status of women had always been low, and she knew that too.

But what she hadn't expected was that things would be to that extent.

A group of men were seated on the couch, with a young maiden kneeling before each one of them. Each maiden was scantily clad, holding a tray high above their heads. The trays were laden with fruits and fine wine.

Every young girl bowed her head, a look of respect on her face.

There was even a man who, with a lecherous grin, reached out and held the waist of a young girl kneeling in front of him. He pulled her directly into his arms, intending to act indecently as his hands explored her body freely.

A flash of panic crossed the girl's face, yet she dared not resist.

In this country, they were almost entirely treated as playthings by men.

This country also had the highest crime rate, and a terrifying news story emerged just a few days ago.

A woman was walking down the street when she was assaulted by five men. In a quest for justice, she went to the police station to report the incident, only to be assaulted again by the police.

This news sent shockwaves throughout the nation. Under the pressure of public opinion and the media, the president issued a statement promising a thorough investigation.
