Chapter 666: Completely Spineless

With Dallas’s command, the three bodyguards behind him immediately rushed toward Lucas.
Dallas smirked smugly.
Seeing how thin and weak Lucas looked, he assumed that his competent bodyguards would be able to beat Lucas into a pulp in less than a minute.
Suddenly, Dallas’s phone in his pocket rang.
He took it out and saw that it was Nate calling.
Dallas hurriedly picked it up and said respectfully, “Hey, Nate.”
“How’s your business going? How’s that kid now? Did you manage to catch him?”
Dallas laughed out loud twice. “Nate, you called at the right time. That punk is getting beaten up by my bodyguards right now, and he’s going to die soon. Hear that? He’s already screaming…”
“Ah!”
“Waahhh!”
“Argh!”
There were three successive screams of misery.
While smugly reporting the situation to Nate, Dallas suddenly realized that something was wrong.
These screams… didn’t seem to be from Lucas but his bodyguards…
Dallas raised his head and looked over. His eyes immediately widened in utter shock.
The scene in front of him was a one-sided beating.
However, the person being beaten up was not Lucas but his three bodyguards!
Lucas was singlehandedly beating up these three strong and burly bodyguards, and they were utterly powerless to resist!
In just a few moments, Dallas’s bodyguards were thrown toward him like sandbags. They were vomiting blood, and the bones of their limbs were all distorted to the point that they couldn’t even stand up.
Dallas stared blankly at everything in front of him while Nate’s voice was still coming from his phone. “Seems like that punk is dead meat, huh? Dallas, get your people to hit him harder. You must beat the living daylights out of him and then drag him back so that I can finish him off personally! How dare he snatch my woman? He must be tired of living!”
Nate’s voice was full of excitement and a twisted mania.
He, the scion of the Walkers, had been completely humiliated at Alexis’s birthday party just now. Not only had he been rejected by Alexis on the spot, but he had also been defeated by Lucas, whom he saw as a penniless swindler. He would never tolerate this humiliation!
In fact, two years ago, Nate had received instructions from his family to woo Alexis soon after she turned eighteen.
Alexis was Clement’s only daughter, and she would inherit all of the Coles’ empire in the future. Regardless of who she married, her husband would also get to take over the businesses of the Coles. As the most favored scion of the Walkers, Nate thus became the first candidate his family considered.
Nate naturally accepted this task, which could be considered an enjoyable one, with great pleasure.
The Coles were rich and powerful. As long as Nate married Alexis, he would become the future successor and next head of his family. Besides, Alexis was gorgeous and young, so he didn’t think he would lose out at all by marrying her.
Unfortunately, despite his wonderful plan, Nate failed to consider the fact that Alexis wasn’t a tacky and gullible girl. Even though he had exhausted all his means, he couldn’t get Alexis to notice him, let alone fall in love with him.
After having been rejected by Alexis repeatedly, he decided to go all out and force himself on her. Once the deed was done, the Coles would have no choice but to marry her to him for the sake of covering up the scandal.
Unfortunately, after Nate secretly drugged Alexis’s drink and was about to succeed in his plan, an expert secretly protecting her foiled his plan.
Since then, Alexis absolutely abhorred Nate. Edmund flew into a rage because of this matter, and the Coles and the Walkers almost fell out and went to war.
Afterward, the Walkers paid a tremendous price and even severely punished Nate by stripping him of his position and power as a core descendant. Since then, he had become an alienated figure in the family.
At that time, if Nate’s father, the successor of the family, hadn’t begged for mercy from the helmsman, Nate would have probably been kicked out of the family.
Now, Nate had finally gotten his grandfather’s permission to woo Alexis again. As long as he was successful, the Walkers would value him again and make him a core member. He would also regain his status and power.
But the confession he had meticulously prepared today was once again ruthlessly rejected by Alexis, while the damn Lucas became the person she admitted to liking. It made Nate hysterical with jealousy!
Thus, he was bent on killing Lucas!
After waiting for several seconds and not getting a response, Nate urged impatiently, “Hey, what are you doing? Say something!”
“I… I…” Dallas stammered, unable to speak a complete word.
Lucas was walking toward him one step at a time while exuding a terrifying aura.
“What’s wrong? Are you mute? Why are you stuttering? I’m asking you how that punk Lucas Gray is now? Have your people beaten him half to death yet? Remember, don’t kill him right away. Keep him at his very last breath, and let me finish him off. Do you hear me?” Nate’s voice continued to come out of the phone.
Lucas suddenly took the phone from Dallas’s hand and said with a smile, “Oh, I’m sorry. It seems that you can’t achieve this goal anymore!”
“You… Lucas Gray? Why are you the one speaking? Where’s Dallas?” Nate immediately bellowed angrily. But he couldn’t get any response because Lucas hung up right away.
“F*ck!” Nate cursed angrily. He tried calling Dallas again, but he could no longer reach him.
…
Meanwhile, Dallas watched as Lucas hung up on Nate and then threw his phone into a nearby puddle. He couldn’t even say anything to stop him.
As the scion of the Watson family of San Jose, who managed to get close to Nate, Dallas was used to throwing his weight around.
But this was the first time he felt fear, which he hadn’t experienced for a long time.
Lucas had effortlessly defeated his three strong bodyguards and even crippled them. If Lucas acted against him, there was no way he’d be able to escape!
At this moment, Dallas was full of remorse.
In order to kill Lucas, he had deliberately chosen this remote and deserted location in hopes that few people would pass by. But now, Dallas was the one in this terrifyingly dire situation where his efforts to call out for help were futile!
“Lu-Lucas, I’m sorry! I was wrong! I… I shouldn’t have targeted you and tried to harm you. This… Nate Walker forced me! As long as you let me off, I’ll give you two… no, five million dollars. How about that?” Dallas was no longer as arrogant as earlier. He knelt in front of Lucas and begged spinelessly..
