Chapter 283: I’m Here To Look For Her
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
But Lucas ignored Chris and instead looked at Sharon, who was wrapped tightly in the sheet. He said coldly, “Call James Wilson now and get him to come here immediately!”
A trace of obvious panic immediately appeared on Sharon’s chubby face. The last thing she would do was to let her husband find out about her illicit affair with Chris. Why would she call him to come here?
With a vicious expression, she shrieked in a sharp voice, “Chris, quick, kill him!”
Chris was also wary and full of murderous intent toward Lucas. He suddenly pulled out the hand under the pillow. In his hand was a bright black pistol he aimed at Lucas.
Lucas was not surprised by his action at all because when he saw Chris reaching his hand under the pillow quietly, he already knew that Chris must have hidden something under it. He could tell what it was without even guessing.
The two people who followed Lucas, Zach and the redhead, turned pale as soon as they saw the pistol in Chris’s hand.
It’s a gun!
For low-level gangsters like them, the deterrence of a real gun in front of them was undoubtedly massive.
When Zach saw Chris pointing the terrifying pistol at Lucas, his heart pounded rapidly. He was overwhelmed with horror and fear even though he wasn’t the one being held at gunpoint. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
He looked around and suddenly fixed his gaze on a decorative shield hanging on the wall of the corridor outside the door. The shield was gold-plated and a standard size of 50 centimeters in height with a narrow bottom.
Not having the luxury of time to think about it, Zach dashed into the room as soon as he took the shields off the wall and stood in front of Lucas.
“Mr. Gray, leave quickly!” Zach used the shield to protect himself and Lucas, revealing only half of his eyes as he watched Chris’s movements nervously.
Lucas was slightly surprised.
He glanced at Zach in front of him, only to find that his hands were trembling while holding onto the shield, as well as his calves. He was obviously terrified and scared, yet he dashed in front of Lucas to shield him.
Zach’s actions honestly made Lucas change his opinion about him.
Chris looked at the few people in front of him and sneered. “Hah, rest assured. None of you can escape!”
Then Chris aimed the muzzle at Zach’s lower abdomen, which was not covered by the shield.
Although the shield covered the vital points of his upper body, there would also be extremely serious consequences if his lower abdomen was shot by a gun.
Once the ignorant person in front of him felt pain, he would naturally fall to the ground and curl up into a ball. By then, he would be able to deal with Lucas easily!
Zach watched as Gordon’s index finger pushed against the trigger, slowly sliding it back. His entire body stiffened, and his back was drenched in cold sweat.
At this moment, he had no idea why he had dashed out impulsively, nor did he know whether what he was doing at the moment was right or wrong. All he knew was that he might be on the brink of death now!
The trigger was just about to touch the bottom.
Bang!
There was a loud gunshot.
Zach shuddered and shut his eyes tightly. But after waiting for a while, he still didn’t feel any pain coming from anywhere on his body.
Did… he miss?
He mustered the courage to open his eyes a little.
He saw Chris in front of him had a wide-open mouth and a shocked expression.
“Ah.”
Lucas chuckled and casually tossed the copper bullet shell he was holding between his index and middle fingers onto the ground.
He then pushed Zach, who was holding the shield, aside and walked straight toward Gordon, one step at a time.

At this point, Gordon was more than astounded. His eyes couldn’t be any wider as he stared in horror and shock at the small bullet shell Lucas had casually tossed onto the ground.
Someone actually managed to catch the bullet he had shot from his pistol!
Was this something that ordinary people could do?
Is Lucas Gray even human?!
Gordon’s heart was full of horror as he watched Lucas approach him. He raised his pistol and pulled the trigger again to shoot Lucas.
He didn’t believe that Lucas would be able to block another bullet!
But before he could shoot, Lucas’s figure abruptly flickered, and he immediately appeared in front of Gordon even though he was more than two meters away a moment ago!
Gordon’s pupils suddenly constricted, and before he could even react, he felt an extremely excruciating pain in his wrist!
Snap!
The crisp sound of bones being broken filled the air!
“Ah! My hand!” Chris, who had been holding the pistol in his right hand, wailed in misery from Lucas completely ripping off his right hand, exposing his white bone and arteries!

Blood instantly gushed out from the torn arteries of his wrist. And in just a few seconds, it stained half of Chris’s clothes and half of the bed, soaking it in bright red blood.
“Ah! There’s so much blood! Murder! Someone’s committing murder!” Cowering on the other side of the bed, Sharon paled as she gaped and screamed in horror after seeing the gruesome and bloody scene in front of her.
“Shut up!” Lucas hollered. Sharon’s sharp, ear-piercing shriek immediately ceased.

She looked at Lucas with terror written all over her face, and she didn’t dare to make a single sound at all. She simply curled up even more, fearing that Lucas would tear off her hand too.
Drenched in sweat and seething and wailing in pain, Chris clenched his jaw and gritted his teeth to stop himself from making another sound after hearing Lucas’s holler.
He had lived for decades, but he had never suffered so much misery before!
But Lucas was now in a dominant position, so Chris didn’t dare to vent his anger anymore and could only bear with the displeasure.
“Chris Douglas, you wanted to shoot me, and I merely tore off your hand. I’m doing you a favor, aren’t I?” Lucas sat down on the couch near the bed and pulled out a few pieces of tissue from the tissue box on the desk next to him. He then slowly wiped away the bloodstain on his hand.
Chris turned as pale as a sheet, and he was shivering incessantly from the immense pain and cold sweat. He was struggling to say, “Lucas… Lucas Gray, what exactly do you want? How… how have I offended you?”
Sitting on the couch, Lucas said indifferently, “I didn’t come here for you today. My original intention was to look for this woman. Just over twenty minutes ago, she brought a few of your bodyguards and beat up my father-in-law, causing him to end up in the hospital. I’m just here to demand an explanation from her.”
When Chris heard this, he turned to glower at Sharon in fury, wishing he could kill her right now!
