Chapter 342 - Joint Attack
The footage continued playing. Lucas said several sentences, and Pierre immediately frowned when he heard Lucas say, "I, Lucas Gray, am no pushover. The reason that I choose not to create trouble is not because I"m afraid. Anyone who plans to provoke me first should consider if they can bear the consequences before doing so!" The other Wallaces also seemed to be extremely displeased.
"Who does he think he is? How arrogant!"
"Exactly! He"s the most haughty person I"ve ever seen!"
The Wallaces were all expressing their displeasure when Pierre suddenly raised his hand to stop them from speaking.
Seeing Pierre frowning and staring at the screen, everyone hurriedly kept quiet and watched the next scene carefully.
After Lucas issued the warning, he lifted his foot off Kyle"s chest and walked toward the exit of the auction hall. Just when everyone thought he was about to walk out the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and flicked something that darted out of his hand at an incredible speed.
Immediately afterward, everyone saw Liam, who was nearly 20 meters away from Lucas, suddenly freeze in place. Then he extended his hand and placed it on his neck. Soon, blood gushed out from the front and back of his neck as he fell backward!
"This is it! That"s how Liam got killed!" Liam"s mother exclaimed hysterically when she saw this scene. She was almost on the verge of throwing herself against the screen, wis.h.i.+ng she could pull Lucas out of it and strangle him to death.
Pierre waved his hand, and soon, two people pulled away Liam"s mother, who was extremely agitated and worked up. He also instructed them to pause the footage.
"Did you all see clearly what happened? Did you see how that young man killed Liam?" Pierre said to everyone in a deep voice.
"Uh… It happened all too quickly, and I didn"t get a clear glimpse of it!"
"What exactly was Lucas Gray holding in his hand? Was it a pocket-sized pistol?"
"No, it doesn" seem like it. He seemed to be pinching something in his fingers, and it didn"t look like a pistol!"
...
The Wallaces began discussing and speculating.
Bryant said sullenly, "Continue watching the footage, and you"ll find out what he was holding."
Pierre waved his hand again, and the footage resumed playing on the large screen.
When the crowd saw the bloodstained b.u.t.ton that the security guard handed over, everyone"s eyes were full of disbelief!
The weapon used to kill Liam turns out to be this tiny b.u.t.ton?!
They couldn"t believe it at all. After rewinding the footage and watching it over and over again in slow motion, they finally confirmed that the b.u.t.ton had darted out of Lucas"s hand and pierced through Liam"s throat 20 meters away to deal a fatal blow to him!
Everyone couldn"t help but inhale sharply, flabbergasted by Lucas"s terrifying strength!
At this moment, all the Wallaces finally understood what Bryant meant when he said that it wouldn"t be easy to kill Lucas.
It wasn"t that Lucas"s status was so n.o.ble that he was untouchable, but rather, Lucas"s reflexes and combat skills were terrifyingly powerful!
His immense strength was simply mind-boggling!
After everyone gradually recovered from the shock and calmed down, Bryant said, "I sent someone to investigate this young man and discovered that he doesn"t have a simple background.
"Prior to this, I only knew that he was a live-in son-in-law of the Carters, and I even thought that he was just a freeloader sponging off his wife. But after some investigation, I found out that Lucas Gray is actually a descendant of the Huttons!
"However, he"s probably an illegitimate son because the Huttons kicked him out of the family more than a decade ago, and his mother brought him to Orange County after several twists and turns. More than six years ago, his mother died of illness, and he ended up marrying Cheyenne Carter as a live-in husband because of a scandal between them.
"But soon after he got married, he suddenly left the Carters one day and vanished for more than six years. He finally returned to Orange County just a little over three months ago. It"s said that he spent those six years serving as a soldier in the military, but I wasn"t able to find out what specific unit he was in and what exactly he did during his service.
"That"s all I managed to discover. There"s no information to explain his incredible strength and the other secrets he"s still harboring. All I can say is that he"s an extremely mysterious and formidable enemy!"
Bryant spoke with a conscientious expression.
Of course, by saying all of this, he meant that he was too scared of Lucas, so much so that he didn"t dare to take revenge against Lucas for his son. He told the Wallaces about Lucas because he wanted them to realize that they couldn"t belittle him and that they would have to find powerful helpers in order to kill him.
Pierre naturally understood Bryant"s intentions. He looked at the crowd and said with a menacing gaze, "I can"t let Liam die in vain, and the Wallaces" pride and authority are not to be challenged! In any case, I want Lucas Gray dead by the end of today, regardless of what it takes!"
"Yes!" Bryant immediately nodded.
Since Pierre already said so, he would hire some elite experts at all costs and send them to nab Lucas. Once they brought Lucas back, the Wallaces would take revenge for Liam!
At this moment, someone suddenly stood up and said to Pierre, "Lucas Gray seems to be really terrifying. I doubt we can find any experts strong enough to deal with him."
The person who spoke resembled Bryant greatly but was slightly younger. He was Bryant"s younger brother, Darren Wallace.
Pierre frowned, "What are you trying to say?"
Darren said unhurriedly, "Liam died at the auction venue belonging to the Kingstons, and both Kyle Kingston and Russell Duncan witnessed his murder. But they failed to enforce tighter security measures and watched Liam get killed at their auction site. So, I think that the Kingstons have an irrefutable responsibility for this matter!
"Besides, the Kingstons are a prestigious family that"s far more powerful than ours. They definitely have connections to more experts than we do, so I think we should contact them and have them find a top expert to come over to help us deal with Lucas Gray! In short, the Kingstons can"t stay out of this matter!"
Many of the Wallaces immediately agreed with Darren.
Although the Wallaces could certainly hire some elite experts, Lucas was too powerful after all, and ordinary experts probably wouldn"t be a match for him. But it would definitely be too expensive to hire top a.s.sa.s.sins.
Besides, since the Kingstons were partly to blame for the death of Liam, shouldn"t the Kingstons find some elite experts to help kill Lucas?
"Yes, the Kingstons should take responsibility for this too. We must make them help us!"
"The experts the Kingstons can find should be better than ours, so we should get them to do it!"
"Yes, we can"t let them sit back and do nothing!"
"Yeah, I heard that Kyle Kingston has a feud with Lucas Gray too. We can"t let them reap the benefits without contributing any effort while we do all the work!"
...
The Wallaces were extremely agitated, and they had all reached the consensus of making the Kingstons in charge of hiring some experts to kill Lucas.
After pondering for a long time, Pierre finally made up his mind too. "Okay, Bryant, I"ll leave this matter to you. Contact the Kingstons and inform them about this matter. We"ll join hands with them to kill Lucas Gray!"
