Chapter 791 Wife and Daughter Are Hostages
Julian initially thought that Lucas would immediately look shocked, furious, and helpless after hearing what he said. But to his surprise, he found that Lucas looked much calmer than he had imagined.
He merely stood there and looked at him calmly with a contemptuous smirk.
“What are you waiting for? Let go of me immediately.” Julian shouted, but he inexplicably felt an ominous premonition.
According to the information he had received from Axel, the head of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation’s California branch, Lucas’s greatest weaknesses were his wife and five-year-old daughter.
Regardless of whether Lucas could win this match or not, Julian thought that kidnapping his wife and daughter and holding them hostage was an excellent plan, as he could use them to provoke Lucas at the most critical moment. He could use them to anger Lucas and make him feel indignant yet helpless because he could only watch them die!
This was Julian’s plan for revenge against Lucas.
Not only did he want Lucas dead, but he also wanted him to die in misery!
But the expression on Lucas’s face now was not what he expected, instantly making Julian feel uncertain, a stark contrast to his earlier smug look.
In short, it seemed as if something was out of his control, making him feel vexed and troubled.
Lucas was still tightly gripping Julian’s wrist and ankle without loosening his grip in the slightest.
“I originally only planned to cripple a hand and a leg so that you could survive,” Lucas said softly with a smile. His voice was extremely soft, but it gave Julian the creeps.
“But I’ve changed my mind now.
“You’ve touched people you shouldn’t have and crossed my bottom line. So you must die now!”
An extremely powerful aura instantly emerged from Lucas’s body like a monstrous wave striking Julian!
Julian felt as if his brain had exploded. Sensing the menacing killing intent, he s.h.i.+vered uncontrollably and immediately got the gooseb.u.mps! Lucas seemed to have suddenly turned into a terrifying beast about to devour him!
“Do… do you really not care if your wife and daughter die?” Under the ma.s.sive pressure, Julian felt an aura of death that he hadn’t felt for a long time cras.h.i.+ng down from the top of his head!
Large beads of sweat flowed down Julian’s pale and horror-filled face.
At this time, he already understood how terrifyingly powerful Lucas was.
Fortunately, he still had his trump card!
Ring…
Suddenly, the phone in Lucas’s pocket rang.
“Haha, you’d better hurry up and answer it! Otherwise, you might not have the chance to hear your wife and daughter’s last words!” Julian smiled maliciously.
Lucas glanced at him coldly. Since he was holding Julian’s wrist and ankle with both hands, he naturally didn’t have a spare hand to answer the phone.
But the expression on his face didn’t change much as he casually pushed Julian away.
Stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp!
An immense force immediately pushed Julian’s body ten meters away. Julian couldn’t keep his balance and ended up getting pushed to the floor by Lucas.
He was naturally shocked and furious. At the same time, countless exclamations came from the audience.
“Wow! Mr. Gray is so powerful!”
“Based on that punch, it’s Mr. Gray who has the upper hand!”
“To be able to push a top expert of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation that far away in one go, Mr. Gray is really something!”
“Mr. Gray is naturally extraordinary! The victory of today’s compet.i.tion will definitely be Mr. Gray, the Master of California!”
The representatives of the top families of California all cheered for Lucas.
On the other hand, the families of Oregon all had extremely gloomy expressions.
Paul, their top expert, had died at the hands of Julian. But Lucas actually obtained the upper hand against Julian.
However, the people below the stage could only see some images, but they were clueless about what the two people on the ring said. After all, when Julian threatened Lucas with the lives of his wife and daughter, he had deliberately lowered his volume because this dishonest method shouldn’t be announced to the public. He and Lucas were the only ones who knew.
After Julian was pushed away by Lucas, he was extremely enraged. But when he saw Lucas taking out his phone and answering the call in public, he could no longer restrain his maniacal malice.
Hah, just wait for the bad news. You say you love your wife and daughter like they’re your life. In that case, between your own life or the lives of your wife and your daughter, what will you choose? Julian thought viciously.
He didn’t take the opportunity to attack Lucas while he was on the phone. Instead, he stood still and stared at the expression on Lucas’s face, not wanting to miss any of his frenzied and painful expressions.
Julian would be overjoyed as long as he could make Lucas feel pain!
The person on the other end of the call reported, “Lucas, the people from the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation really came to cause trouble, but they’ve all been killed. Cheyenne and Amelia are safe and sound. Rest a.s.sured!”
It was Jordan.
Lucas simply replied calmly, “Okay, thanks.” Then he hung up without much of an expression.
A sharp glint appeared in his eyes.
In fact, since the Taylors were exterminated, Lucas knew that a powerful and brutal person had come from Peerless Martial a.s.sociation and was likely here for him.
Lucas was naturally not afraid of Julian, but what Julian had done was too b.l.o.o.d.y and brutal. Lucas was worried that he would act crazy and attack his wife and daughter.
Thus, Lucas had texted Jordan and Stanley, who were far away in DC, and asked them to rush back to California before the compet.i.tion started today so as to protect Cheyenne and Amelia.
Although Stanley’s martial arts skills were not top-notch, Jordan had been through thick and thin with Lucas in the Falcon Regiment for several years, so the people of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation naturally weren’t a match for Jordan.
“Punk, are you done with your phone call? You’re helpless now, huh? It’s time you surrender!”
A menacing glint appeared in Julian’s eyes, and the malicious smile on his face was like a venomous snake flaunting its sharp teeth.
