Chapter 316: Who’s Threatening?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Both Lena and Bruce were shocked to see the armed henchmen. Neither of them expected Kyle to threaten Lucas using such a method.

Russell was also a bit surprised. He frowned and said in disapproval, “Mr. Kingston, these people are all experts who only appear when necessary. I’m afraid…”

Kyle rebuked hostilely, “Shut up! I have my own plans!”

Staring at Lucas contemptuously with raised brows, Kyle roared, “Punk, weren’t you very arrogant outside Club Splendor just now? How dare you kick me so hard that my guts still hurt even now?! You’re now on my turf, and these are all my men. Let’s see how you can continue to be arrogant in front of me!”

Only then did Russell understand the reason Kyle bore such a strong hatred for Lucas and was bent on going against him. It wasn’t so much as to help Liam but mostly to take revenge on Lucas.

After hearing what Kyle said, both Lena and Bruce frowned, feeling rather worried. It seems that Kyle Kingston won’t let Lucas off easily… What should we do now?

Lena looked at the menacing and murderous-looking henchmen around her. She couldn’t help biting her lower lip as her face turned pale, and she subconsciously hid behind Lucas.

She had always been well protected by Ethan and so had never been in such a dangerous situation before. It was inevitable for her to be nervous and terrified.

“You guys leave first!” Lucas suddenly said to both Lena and Bruce.

“What… what about you then?” Lena asked worriedly.

Lucas comforted her with a light smile. “I’ll be fine.”

“Hmph, things have already come to this, but you’re still boasting! Do you really think that you can escape from my elite subordinates unscathed and in one piece? Also, no one in this hall is allowed to leave until you pay that thirty million dollars!” Kyle said with a menacing expression.

Since that chick from the Sawyers and that old fogy are bent on accompanying Lucas Gray because they’re worried about him, I’ll show them that anyone who dares to side with Lucas Gray will die a horrible death!

“Hurry up. Two minutes are up. Hurry up and pay me the money! Otherwise, I’ll sever both your arms!”

With Kyle’s order, the ten-odd armed elite henchmen immediately stepped forward toward Lucas threateningly, ready to pounce on him.

Lena watched nervously, and her body even began to tremble slightly.

Lucas glanced at them and smirked. “Do you really think you can do anything to me?”

Then he stood up and walked toward Kyle, completely ignoring these so-called elite henchmen who worked for the Kingstons.

“Bastard, don’t be too arrogant! All it takes for me to rip you apart is a single order from me!” Kyle hollered furiously.

But his heart soon began to palpitate as Lucas approached him, making his hairs subconsciously stand on ends.

“Quick, stop him! Stop him!” Kyle bellowed at the top of his lungs.

But before the elite henchmen could make a single move, Lucas suddenly vanished out of sight!

“Where is he?” Taken aback, Kyle got flustered and hurriedly looked around. But a hand suddenly appeared in front of him and gripped his neck tightly!

“!” Kyle’s pupils suddenly constricted as fear overwhelmed him!

A moment ago, Lucas was clearly still several meters away from him, and the elite henchmen of the Kingstons were standing in between them. How did he break through them and dash toward me in an instant?

The henchmen were just as astonished. They didn’t even get a clear glimpse of Lucas’s actions just now. All they felt was a chilly breeze blowing past them, and before they knew it, Lucas had already broken through their siege and strangled Kyle’s neck!

What horrifying speed!

“Let… go…” Kyle was strangled to the point of becoming flushed as he desperately tried to reach out and push Lucas’s hand away.

But Lucas tightened his grip mercilessly, and Kyle immediately rolled his eyes, unable to say another word.

This move successfully managed to stop the Kingstons’ elite henchmen, who wanted to charge toward Lucas and attack him, making them no longer dare to act recklessly.

“Mr. Gray, let’s talk things over calmly. Please quickly let go of him!” Russell hurriedly exclaimed in panic.

His forehead was covered in cold sweat as he tried to stop Lucas, fearing that Lucas would strangle Kyle to death in a moment of anger.

Although he also hated Kyle, the scion of the Kingston family, Russell would be in trouble if Kyle really died in the auction he was in charge of, regardless of how much the Kingstons valued Russell.

They were suddenly in a stalemate.

Lena gently covered her mouth because when she saw Lucas moving past those henchmen as quickly as a bolt of lightning, she was reminded of when she had encountered an assassination by a biker charging toward her outside the Sawyers’ villa. She initially thought that she would die, but Lucas appeared in the nick of time to rescue her like a god descending from heaven.

At that time, Lucas was probably as quick as he was just now.

Lena’s eyes were full of sweet joy as her heart began beating rapidly.

Kyle was probably the most miserable and terrified person now.

He was now under Lucas’s control, and there was a sharp pain in his neck. He couldn’t even breathe properly, let alone speak.

He was no longer as arrogant as he was a few seconds ago, and there was nothing but fear on his face.

“You said that you’d get your men to sever my arms and not let me leave this place in one piece if I don’t pay that thirty million dollars, right?” Lucas asked contemptuously with a smirk.

But his smile seemed terrifying to Kyle, overwhelming him with so much fear that he began trembling violently.

He shook his head desperately, but Lucas was strangling his neck tightly, rendering him immobile. So shaking his head made the pain in his neck intensify and even harder for him to breathe. His eyes kept rolling backward, and he seemed to be on the verge of dying.

Liam spluttered threateningly, “Lucas Gray, you… Let go! If you dare to harm Mr. Kingston, the Kingstons won’t let you off!”

Liam was standing near Kyle, and he was so frightened that he turned as pale as a sheet when he saw with his very own eyes that Lucas was about to strangle Kyle to death.

Russell was enraged and roared at Liam, “Idiot, shut up!”

Judging from Lucas’s performance, Russell was certain that Lucas wasn’t the type that would relent under threats. Liam’s words would only further anger Lucas.

“Mr. Gray! I know Mr. Kingston was at fault just now. He shouldn’t have offended you, but please have mercy and let us talk things over calmly! If you end up killing him, it won’t do any of us here any good!” Russell hurriedly pleaded. If Lucas continued strangling Kyle, he would die in less than a minute!

Lucas naturally wouldn’t kill Kyle just like that. Seeing Kyle begin convulsing, Lucas finally relented and let go of him.

Kyle could no longer stand on his feet. As soon as Lucas let go, he directly collapsed onto the ground. He gasped desperately for fresh air while looking thankful to have survived a near-death encounter.

Lucas kicked Kyle, who was now like a dead dog. He then stepped on his chest with one foot and questioned indifferently, “Now, do you still want me to pay you that thirty million dollars?”
