Chapter 535 - I Must See The Corpse
Lucas frowned.
He was a top expert to begin with, and he had a very keen sense of the aura of others.
When he saw the young man with an evil smile on his face, he immediately felt uncomfortable.
The bloodthirsty intent in the young man"s eyes was extremely intense, and the uncomfortable aura he exuded was sufficient evidence that he had killed many people before.
Standing in front of Lucas"s car with folded arms and a sinister smile, he ordered self-righteously, "If you immediately get out of the car and come back with me to the Taylors to admit to your mistakes, I can spare your life!"
Lucas got out of the car without uttering a single word. After taking a glance at the menacing young man, he commanded coldly, "Get lost!"
A look of bloodthirsty anger immediately appeared on the young man"s face. "Hahahaha, punk, you are really arrogant! The last person who dared to speak to me like that is long dead!"
He glared at Lucas arrogantly, licked the corners of his lips, and chuckled sinisterly. "In that case, let me see just how hard your bones are!"
Lucas sneered. "Anyone can blow their trumpet. I just hope that your bones aren"t too brittle!"
With a look of menace on his face, the young man roared, "Punk, how dare you mock me? I"ll make sure you can never say a single word again!"
Then his figure flashed and immediately dashed toward Lucas.
Lucas had to admit that this menacing and bloodthirsty young man nicknamed b.l.o.o.d.y Fiend was indeed deserving of being arrogant.
He was extremely fast, and the angle he had attacked from was particularly tricky. If someone wasn"t careful, it would indeed be tough to dodge his attack.
Lucas clearly detected from the punch that b.l.o.o.d.y Fiend threw that there were some almost imperceptible sharp objects resembling metal spikes between his fingers. An ordinary person would probably have a hard time defending against his move and end up being struck.
It could be said that this man was indeed worthy of being a powerhouse who had taken countless lives. His combat skills and killing techniques were far superior to those of the people Lucas had met before.
But the fact that he met Lucas predetermined that his killing techniques would never work!
Just as the young man was about to strike Lucas between his waist and abdomen from an extremely tricky angle, Lucas lifted his long leg at lightning speed and threw a flying kick at b.l.o.o.d.y Fiend. He immediately crumbled like a broken sandbag and flew backward before colliding into his BMW.
Bang!
The hood of the BMW was dented while the st.u.r.dy front winds.h.i.+eld shattered and fell to the ground.
b.l.o.o.d.y Fiend kept vomiting blood under the immense force and instantly lost consciousness.
"It seems that your bones are really not that hard," Lucas said coldly and turned to return to his car.
But at this moment, his phone suddenly rang, and an unfamiliar number appeared on the screen.
Lucas glanced at b.l.o.o.d.y Fiend, who was lying unconscious on the hood of the BMW. He swiped the screen on his phone and answered the call.
"Lucas Gray? I"m Marc Kingston. You must have heard of my name before." A young man"s voice came from the other end. Hearing his voice for the first time, people would think that he was a refined and easy-going person.
Lucas frowned. He was now intending to go to San Francisco to ask Marc about Karen and settle scores with him at the same time. But he hadn"t expected Marc to take the initiative to call him instead.
It was indeed beyond Lucas"s expectations.
"Since you"ve called me, you must know why I"m looking for you, right?" Lucas asked coldly.
"Ah, of course I do." Marc chuckled. "I was initially waiting for you to come to me on your own. After all, killing you when you"re on my turf seems more interesting.
"But now, I"ve changed my mind. No matter what, you"re still a descendant of the Huttons, and I"m sure they"ll be displeased if I kill you directly. They might even bring me some trouble.
"I know that you"re coming to ask me something. In that case, I don"t mind telling you directly. That woman named Karen Turner is now dead!"
Lucas"s pupils constricted. Karen is dead?
Before Lucas could even say anything, Marc continued speaking in a seemingly nonchalant tone, "What? Do you hate me so much now that you can"t wait to come here and kill me?
"Unfortunately, you can only think about it because I, Marc Kingston, am the next successor of my family!
"If you"re not stupid, you should be able to find out how powerful the Kingstons are. I might as well tell you that if you want to come to San Francisco to kill me now, you"ll just be courting death!
"So I kindly suggest you get lost back to Orange County immediately, and I can guarantee that I won"t harm you. Sparing you is considered being benevolent to you, right?"
After Marc spoke, Lucas"s face was incredibly gloomy.
He didn"t take Marc"s threats seriously at all.
But he kept thinking about what Marc said.
Karen is dead?
Karen is actually already dead?!"
How do I explain this to Cheyenne?
How do I explain this to Charlotte?
Murderous intent surged in Lucas"s heart.
"Did you say that Karen Turner is dead?" Lucas asked in an icy cold voice.
Marc chuckled. "Of course she is! I"m sure you know that only when that woman is dead can she be of the greatest value to me!
"I"m going to use her death in exchange for the destruction of your reputation and the Stardust Corporation"s Orange County branch. It"s a really good deal, isn"t it?"
There was some complacency and smugness in his tone.
Initially, he had called Scott and scolded him because the matter had spiraled out of control and escalated to the point that the entire Stardust Corporation"s reputation had been ruined, displeasing the Huttons.
But Marc didn"t expect Jace Hutton to praise him for doing a good job instead of scolding him when he reported this matter to him and asked for forgiveness.
After this matter, Marc understood that as long as he could destroy Lucas, the Huttons wouldn"t mind the consequences.
So Karen"s remaining value was her death, which he could use to smear Lucas as a despicable villain according to Scott"s plan and deal with him using the shame of being a heartless person!
Lucas closed his eyes and asked calmly, "So, where is her corpse?"
Marc burst into laughter. "Are you going to tell me that you want to see her, be it dead or alive? Well then, I"ll tell you. That woman"s body is of no use to me, so I sent my men to feed it to the dogs. Even if you want it, you can"t get her corpse. Haha!"
Bang!
The concrete pavement beneath Lucas"s feet shattered with a loud bang as an invisible and raging aura emerged from his body!
He was truly enraged!
