chapter Four

The creatures in this forest of the divine were all living peacefully, but, there was one thing that could not be disputed among every creature that existed. That is power, every creature whether small or big has that one thing called competition. And, competition leads to power. These creatures had already been blessed with everything, food, clothing, the decision to choose a leader because they always have alpha, even the abundant luck to channel and use the power of the moon to perform different abilities and miracles, and even followers, but, they still had one thing which was fight for power amongst themselves. This led to a race that was once united and loving dividing and occupying different parts of the forest. Their alpha tried to stop it but still, he could not do much about it because he couldn't kill them, he was supposed to protect them.

 They divided into different factions with different beta leading them and they occupied different parts of the forest. They started to fight among themselves for power, The fight was very small at first but it turned into a full-blown war as time passed by and this made them lose their one and only guardian. Little by little, Mother Moon started to depart from them. They lost their connection with the moon and the moon even cursed them. They could no longer channel the power of the moon, rather, every time there is a a full moon, they always have to pass through immense pain. Without the protection of their guardian, they became weak. The only thing that distinguished them from the humans was their superhuman strength and their ability to transform.

Years continued to pass and their strength kept waning till it got to a stage where they could not harness any strength in their human form unless they transformed into their wolf form.

"How has New York been for you" Lucifer asked Lucas as they walked down the large hallway.

"It had been fine except for the bustling life there and I think I prefer this silent place compared to that place" Lucas answered.

"Well, you have to get used to it because we will not always be there for you and also you need to learn how humans work and also their tricks so that when we are not there for you, you will able to survive on your own," ever told him.

"I already knew that when I chose to take the duty of controlling our main software branch," He told Lucifer.

"But I'm worried about Grandpa, can't you convince him to drink...…." Lucas wanted to talk but as if Lucifer already knew what he wanted to say, the latter quickly interrupted him.

"Don't go there, We are lycan and we were made like that because of a reason, we must not try to defy the reason. And don't ever give anyone your blood, it must have a repercussion that even you don't know of" Lucifer told him.

"Ok," He sighed in resignation. He already tried to convince them but it always fell on deaf ears.

By the time they finished their little conversation, they already reached the end of the long hallway. There was a large door there, Lucifer opened it and they entered another hallway with a lot of doors on each side of the hallway

"Let's go," Lucifer told him and they entered. They walked to the door at the other end of the hallway and Lucifer opened the door again. They entered the room.

The moment he finished stepping into the room, he squinted his eyes and

"Whoosh" With a superhuman speed, he disappeared from where he was.

"Bang" A sound was heard and the unaware Lucifer was thrown out of the room due to the residual force. The poor man crashed into the wall and bounced back.

"Hng" He grunted in pain as he stood up from the floor.

"Peter, how many times have I told you not to start any kind of fight here, if you want to fight, the underground fighting arena is there," He said angrily.

"I'm sorry brother, I will pay for the damage" A voice was heard from the middle of the crater and a guy emerged from it. The guy looked as if he was in his thirties, he had a wild look and a grin that made him look scary even though he was handsome.

"This is a modern world and that's a barbaric way of greeting someone," Lucifer said angrily.

"We are born with a barbaric mentality, and that's the reason we've been ruling the underworld for centuries now and you can't understand that because you are working in a company and you are dealing with all these weaklings" Peter retorted.

"You….." Lucifer pointed at Peter and wanted to talk but

"Stop" A deep voice was heard from the inner part of the room. The two quickly stopped their banter when they heard the voice and composed themselves.

"Uncle we can fight later in the underground arena so don't worry, let's meet with Grandpa first," Lucas told Peter while the latter smiled at him.

They went into the inner room where they saw an old man sitting on the couch. The man looked as if he was in his late eighties because of the white hair on his head the wrinkles on his face and the visible part of his body. Despite that, Lucifer and Peter dared not try any nonsense because this was the most powerful member of the household. The reason they still control the underworld and the business they had. Tiger Johnson.

One hundred years ago, he started the first software business of the Johnson family, and today, Johnson has many companies around the world ranging from software, down to agriculture, down to technology and many other branches and they are thriving powerfully. Because of that, many companies fear this calculating and shrewd man. He built his reputation on the destruction of many worldwide companies but that was not what made him fearsome. His reputation in the underworld makes him fearsome. He has two reputations in the underworld, he is kind towards allies but towards enemies, he was known as a cold and ruthless person that does not give a damn about life. Singlehandedly he carried the Lycan faction to the top of the food chain decimating any faction that tried to oppose them. The only most powerful Lycan and superhuman in history.
