Chapter 501 - Killing Seven People In Seconds
Skylar widened her eyes in utter shock!
As a former member of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, she naturally knew that the four dead people were not ordinary people but martial arts experts.
But Lucas had killed such powerful opponents in seconds!
This was enough to show that Lucas"s strength was far beyond her imagination!
It was simply inhuman…
The two men in black responsible for guarding Skylar and the leader with the wounded wrist all had drastic changes of expressions. They couldn"t describe the shock in their heats in words!
At the same time, an intense sense of fear and horror toward Lucas surged in their hearts.
Their strengths were all almost on par. Since Lucas could easily kill their four peers effortlessly in merely a second, he could of course easily kill them too!
When they saw Lucas looking at them, their hearts trembled violently, and they subconsciously cowered with timid gazes.
"You"re really something, punk. Let"s withdraw for now!" The leader of the men in black quickly thought things through and then shouted at his companions beside him.
With such a powerful enemy, they could no longer worry about killing Skylar. They thought it was better to retreat first and then find an opportunity to kill the two of them!
The few of them moved quickly, wanting to retreat immediately.
"Did I say you could leave?" Lucas looked at them expressionlessly as a few s.h.i.+ny coins appeared between his fingers once again.
The pupils of the three men in black constricted, and one of them immediately yelled, "What else do you want? We won"t catch this woman today!"
Lucas smiled mirthlessly. "It"s already too late."
As soon as he finished speaking, the coins in his hand immediately darted out, and the s.h.i.+ny metal surface of the coins reflected the panic-stricken faces of the three men trying to dodge. But the next instant, the coins accurately penetrated through the throats of these three people.
Three jets of blood spurted into the air as the three men in black froze in place. A few seconds later, they collapsed onto the ground with loud thuds and could no longer move.
Blood gradually spread across the ground with an intense iron odor.
Skylar sat on the ground in a daze, staring at the corpses on the ground. All of them were killed in seconds!
It was incredible!
Skylar"s jaw dropped as she looked at Lucas in disbelief. She moved her lips, but she couldn"t say a single word.
The power of this man in front of her far exceeded her imagination!
Seven experts from the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation were actually killed in seconds without any way to resist!
Initially, Skylar should have felt terrified and horrified. But Lucas killed these men only for the sake of saving her, so she was feeling extremely complicated.
"Uh… I have to tell you that these people are from the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, and the other members are definitely going to find out. When the time comes, you"ll be in huge trouble."
Lucas remained unmoved. "So what? If they really come looking for me, then I don"t mind making the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation disappear from this world!"
"What did you say?!" Skylar looked at Lucas with a dumbfounded expression, wondering if he was joking or being serious.
The Peerless Martial a.s.sociation wasn"t a small organization but a behemoth that had gathered countless martial arts experts and was in control of various forces all over the world!
The young man in front of her, who seemed to be only in his twenties, actually said that he could destroy the entire Peerless Martial a.s.sociation!
If she hadn"t heard it herself, she would definitely not believe such arrogant words.
But she now believed that this young man wasn"t an ordinary person who liked blowing his trumpet. In other words, he was being serious!
Skylar was so astounded that she forgot she was still sitting on the ground.
Lucas glanced at her without saying anything and then returned to his Jaguar to retrieve the Bladeless Sword. He tossed it to Skylar, and it landed on the ground with a clang.
"I"ll return the sword to you for now. But if I find out that you use it to get up to nonsense and ruin your grandfather"s reputation, I won"t let you off!"
Skylar looked at the long Bladeless Sword inserted into the ground in front of her in a daze before looking at Lucas quietly with a complicated gaze.
"If you really want to break free from the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, come look for me at the Stardust Corporation tomorrow morning."
Then Lucas turned around and drove away.
Skylar stared at the light from the front of Lucas"s car s.h.i.+ning on the road ahead, forming a ray of extraordinarily bright light in the darkness. Gradually, the light drifted away. She couldn"t stand up for a long time.
When the bright light was no longer visible, Skylar stood up and touched the thick and heavy Bladeless Sword in front of her. She said softly, "I don"t know your name yet, but I"m really grateful to you!"
After driving the car far away, Lucas immediately made a call to arrange for people to take care of the corpses and bloodstains on the road, lest others became scared, resulting in unnecessary chaos.
As for why he suddenly wanted to help Skylar, one reason was that she was the granddaughter of Tom Creed, a martyr of the Falcon Regimen. Second, her persistence and determination had gained his appreciation.
Third… The reason Skylar agreed to a.s.sa.s.sinate Lucas on Caldo Mountain was probably related to the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation. Moreover, he had a better impression of her when he saw that she would rather die than go back to the organization to help it do evil. At the very least, he reckoned that her character shouldn"t be that bad since she was aware that her actions were wrong and wanted to turn over a new leaf.
So he might as well help her.
In addition, if possible, he would also have another helper.
Stanley had now gone to DC with Flynn, and Lucas now lacked manpower. If Skylar was willing to help him, he could nurture and train her.
Soon after Lucas arrived home, he received a call from Jordan informing him that the traces had been cleaned up.
Lucas responded and hung up. Then he picked up Amelia in his arms to tell her a bedtime story.
The night pa.s.sed silently.
When Lucas went to the Stardust Corporation early the next morning, he saw Skylar waiting at the building.
Although she was still dressed in black, her clothes were much looser than before and didn"t attract much attention.
As soon as she saw Lucas, her eyes lit up, and she immediately walked toward him.
Lucas brought her to the chairman"s office on the top floor. "Have you thought about whether you want to break free from the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation or not?"
Skylar nodded firmly. "Yes! However, it"s easy to enter the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation but extremely difficult to leave.. Otherwise, I wouldn"t have been chased by those people they sent yesterday. Can you really solve this matter?"
