Chapter 569 - It's Actually Him
Moses narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly, "Dr. Stone, I've already told you just now that the Kingstons are one of the top families in California. And I will soon be the next helmsman of the family, and my son will become my successor. You understand what I mean, right?
"Although I don't want to use power to oppress you, my son has a noble status that no one in Orange County can compare to! So I don't care if you've made appointments with any important patients before. They're nothing compared to my son's injuries!
"I don't want to use force against you, but if you continue to insist on staying here, I can only take you back to San Francisco by force. I hope that you will consider it carefully, Dr. Stone!"
Moses's words were full of threats. At this moment, he had completely forgone pleasantries. Although he said that he did not want to use the power of his family to oppress Maddy, his words meant otherwise.
Moreover, his words undermined everyone in Orange County to be worthless, as if only his son was the most honored and noble.
"Hmph!" Maddy sneered.
What kind of person was Maddy?
She was internationally renowned, and the heads of many countries would receive her personally with gifts.
She really didn't take a mere Kingston family seriously.
Only a frog at the bottom of the well like the Kingstons would think they were impressive and throw their weight around.
Her gaze became extremely hostile, and she said coldly, "If you leave now, I might still save your son. Otherwise, you can let him get amputated!"
She had just promised to save Moses's son, but it was only out of kindness. It didn't mean that she was a pushover who would let anyone manipulate her!
If he angered her and coerced her, she could only say sorry and refuse.
Moses was angered by Maddy's hostility and refusal to cooperate.
In his opinion, anyone who dared to speak to him so rudely had to be taught a lesson!
"Dr. Stone, don't push your luck! If you still refuse to come with us, then I have no choice but to resort to force!"
He barked at the two bodyguards, "Take her away immediately!"
The two bodyguards immediately went forward to hold Maddy's arm.
"Get lost!" Maddy shouted angrily. With a lift of her long leg, she instantly kicked the bodyguard in front of her in his vital area.
"Arrrghhh!" The bodyguard instantly covered his vital part, cried out in pain, and bent down.
As for the bodyguard behind her, she abruptly stomped her foot before he could grab her and nailed one of the sharp and thin heels of her high heels like a spike on his foot.
"Aahhhh!" The bodyguard behind felt excruciating pain, as if he had been slashed by a knife on his feet, and almost lost his balance. Then he immediately inhaled sharply as Maddy kicked him away.
Moses was astounded.
He had originally thought that Maddy was just an ordinary woman whom his burly bodyguards would definitely have caught easily.
But he hadn't expected that the woman in front of him would dare to resist and had decent martial arts!
His bodyguards had not only failed to seize her but were even dealt heavy blows by her.
Maddy sneered. Although she appeared to be a delicate woman, she had spent a lot of time in the Falcon Regiment, where numerous experts gathered. Even though she was an expert in medicine and hadn't formally trained in martial arts before, she had at least witnessed many brawls and could defend herself adequately with simple self-defense skills or grappling. She wouldn't be completely unable to fight back like other ordinary women.
Moses flew into a rage and hollered at his bodyguards, "Good-for-nothings, you can't even capture a woman. What do I need you for?"
After being reprimanded, the two bodyguards forced themselves to endure the pain and grabbed at Maddy again.
This time, they put away their contempt and moved much faster than earlier.
After all, they were bodyguards that Moses had spent a large sum of money to hire, and they were much stronger than the average person. Just now, they had missed because they didn't take Maddy, a woman, seriously and were thus caught off guard.
Now that they were being serious, Maddy, who hadn't undergone any professional training, immediately couldn't fight back.
She managed to avoid the hand of one bodyguard, but the other bodyguard appeared behind her and reached out to grab her hair.
Maddy caught sight of this scene from the corner of her eye, but she couldn't physically react in time.
She saw that she wouldn't be able to escape. But at this very moment, the bodyguard behind her suddenly shrieked and was sent flying away.
Bang!
Bang!
The two bodyguards surrounding Maddy were instantly kicked away with two loud bangs before landing hard on the clean floor of the airport. They even skidded away a long distance.
"How dare you lay a hand on her, Moses Kingston? Do you want to have your legs broken too?"
The cold and merciless voice filled the air, making Moses's expression immediately change.
"Lu… Lucas Gray?!" His heart was beating wildly as he looked at the familiar young man who suddenly appeared in front of him, filled with disbelief.
"Lucas, you're here!" After hearing Lucas speak, Maddy immediately looked over with a look of surprise and hurried toward him.
When Moses saw that Maddy was acquainted with Lucas, his heart sank to rock bottom.
He suddenly remembered that Maddy seemed to have asked him if he was sent by Lucas when they first met. But at the time, he didn't quite care. He finally realized that Maddy was referring to his arch nemesis, Lucas Gray!
Lucas turned to face Maddy and asked in concern, "Are you alright?"
Maddy shook her head and smiled. "Luckily you came in time. Otherwise, I would have been in trouble!"
Lucas said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I agreed to pick you up, but I caused you to encounter this because I was late."
"You're not late. My plane just arrived ahead of schedule. I didn't expect the first flight to Orange County to arrive half an hour early. It's rather rare," Maddy said with a smile.
Seeing that the two of them were chatting amicably and seemed familiar with each other, Moses was flustered yet furious because they didn't seem to be taking him seriously.
The legs of his precious son had been crushed by Lucas's feet, and Marc was so badly injured that even the best hospitals in California couldn't treat him. The only resort at present was an amputation. Moses was full of resentment toward Lucas!
But at the end of the day, he didn't dare to take revenge on Lucas.
The image of Lucas showing his prowess yesterday at his home was still fresh in Moses's mind. What could he do to take revenge on Lucas, who could kill the Kingstons' strongest expert, Scarface, within seconds?
He had finally received news that Maddy could treat Marc's legs, but when he was about to bring her back, Lucas suddenly popped up out of nowhere and even turned out to be friends with her!
At this moment, Moses strongly felt that he had been played by destiny.
