Chapter 166: No One Is Stopping You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“What happened?” Bryce subconsciously asked after hearing Lucas’s words. He then pursed his lips, secretly feeling angry at himself for asking this question.
“He made me kneel on the ground and kowtow while admitting to my mistake. He also wanted me to slap myself and beg for forgiveness,” Lucas said slowly.
“Hmph, good job! That’s how it should be!” Bryce’s heart was full of joy. Although he didn’t know who it was, anyone who could harm Lucas would be his friend!
“Later on, he had to do all of that himself before I would let him off.”
The joyous expression on Bryce’s face immediately stiffened, and it took him a long time to realize what Lucas meant. He instantly flew into a rage and hollered, “Lucas Gray! Do you think I’m scared? Since I said I would make you kneel down and beg for mercy, I’ll make sure you do!”
Lucas looked at Bryce like he was a fool and then ignored him. He said to Cheyenne, “It’s okay. You can take Amelia away first. With me around, no one can stop you.”
Cheyenne nodded. “Be careful.” Then she took Amelia away.
Obeying Bryce’s order, the tall, muscular man behind Bryce moved his feet and was about to stop Cheyenne when he suddenly felt an immense murderous aura fixed on him coming from behind, giving him goosebumps!
Horror!
Incredible horror!
It was as if he would immediately die if he continued to move even a little bit!
Countless drops of sweat gushed out from every pore of his body, drenching him in cold sweat in no time!
It wasn’t until Cheyenne took Amelia away from the courtyard of the Carter residence did the terrifying murderous aura vanish.
The muscular man raised his arm and wiped the sweat that dripped into his eyes. Although it had only been a few seconds, he felt like many years had passed, causing him to feel weak and exhausted.
Seeing that his bodyguard hadn’t moved at all and let Cheyenne go, Bryce flew into a rage and hollered, “Good-for-nothing! Did I pay you so much money for you to just stand there like a pole?! Don’t you know how to stop her?”
Hanging his head low, the muscular man clenched his fist and let Bryce continue scolding him.
He couldn’t possibly tell Bryce that if he had just moved, he wouldn’t have been able to stand here alive. Even if he said so, Bryce definitely wouldn’t believe him.
Lucas said indifferently, “Bryce Carter, I have given you countless chances. All along, I’ve been letting you off time and time again for Cheyenne’s sake. Why do you keep challenging me and pushing your limits?”
Bryce was instantly furious, and he cursed loudly, “What nonsense are you talking about?! What chance? Let me off? Weren’t you the one who broke my arm and my head? Do you dare to say that you didn’t play a role in harming the Carters? Hmph, you’re making yourself sound so great! You’re just pushing it because you’re stronger than me and better at martial arts! Indeed, I can’t beat you, but I can bring in the best experts to hit you. I’ll see if you can keep up with this bullshit in front of me later!
“You’ve offended me, and you still want to continue staying alive and well?” Bryce hollered furiously.
Karen huddled up at the side. She had yet to figure out what was going on, and she didn’t have a clear idea of the situation either. She didn’t know that Bryce had just asked someone to send an urn to each of them.
Right now, she only knew that Lucas had angered Bryce, who was boiling with fury, and what he meant was that they couldn’t continue to live here because Lucas had offended him.
At the thought of this, Karen flew into a rage and dashed forward to slap Lucas hard on his face. “It’s all your fault, jinx!”
“Mom, stop it!” Charlotte wanted to stop her but couldn’t do so in time, so she could only yell at her.
Smack!
Karen’s slap didn’t land on Lucas’s face like it used to in the past, and instead, he grabbed her wrist mercilessly to stop her.
Karen’s wrist was being squeezed tightly by him, rendering her immobile, and she immediately shrieked in anger, “Y-you good-for-nothing, how dare you rebel against me? You’re really insolent!”
Lucas looked at her expressionlessly, his eyes cold and indifferent, making her shudder.
“I’ll handle today’s matter. You don’t have to care about anything.” Then he let go of her hand.
Karen’s face instantly turned pale and red. She looked really upset and disoriented.
“Mom, why did you suddenly hit Lucas?” Charlotte scurried over and blamed Karen while glaring at her.
Karen felt embarrassed because she wanted to hit Lucas but failed to do so. Now that her daughter had come to blame her, she became even more infuriated. She retorted menacingly, “Why did I hit him? Did you not hear what Bryce said just now? This good-for-nothing is really brazen. How dare he beat Bryce up into such a state? He even offended your grandfather and refused to admit his mistake! Since they’re furious, of course they’d want to kick us out! We’ve all been implicated by this jinx!”
Then Karen ran to Bryce and begged with a deferential smile on her face, “Bryce, look, we haven’t offended you in all these years, right? It’s all because of this good-for-nothing! Just take your anger out on him. It really has nothing to do with us!
“Also, I’ll have Cheyenne divorce him right away. Whatever he has done is his responsibility. Don’t blame it on us! Please, go tell your grandfather not to chase us away, will you?”
Karen spoke to Bryce with a subservient smile, trying to appease him.
After glancing at Karen, Bryce smiled sinisterly and then said obnoxiously, “You’re begging me to let you guys go? Fine. I can go back and plead with Grandpa on your behalf and ask him to spare you. But I want this good-for-nothing to kneel in front of me and beg for forgiveness while admitting to his mistakes! I want him to do it now, at once, immediately!”
