Lucian frowned when the door did not open easily. He pushed it further from his shoulders but the wood did not even shake.
With a frown, he stared at his hands that started to engulf in a silver glow and then he pressed at the door again.,
It still showed a bit of resistance but opened with a bit more force. The door fell on the ground with a thud and he found more than two dozen kids who flinched and took a step back in the dark trying to hide their presence.
All of them have a lot of marks of injuries on their body. Their cheeks were swollen and their eyes were red and swollen with all those crying and pleading.
They were badly treated and injured to keep their mouth shut and looked nothing more than slaves.
But if they were slaves then they did not needed to be kept hidden since slavery is legal in the empire. He was the live example of that.
