Chapter 827: Boundless Fear
Lucas, who should have been struck by the bullets, vanished into thin air in front of everyone!
“Where… where is he?” Charlie asked in disbelief, his eyes almost falling out of their sockets.
It was not just him. Everyone in the meeting hall was shocked as they stared at the spot where Lucas vanished, full of astonishment!
How could a living person disappear in an instant?
It was like magic!
“Ah!”
“Waahhh!”
“Argh!”
While everyone was looking around for Lucas frantically, a few gunmen shrieked in unison.
The crowd looked at the sound in horror, just in time to see several b.l.o.o.d.y hands falling off of the wrists of the gunmen.
These severed hands were each still holding a black and heavy pistol!
Thud!
Bang!
Bang!
…
A series of thumps sounded. The seven severed hands and the pistols they were holding all fell to the floor as a ma.s.sive amount of blood gushed out.
Shrieks and wails burst out in the hall.
Everyone looked at this with deathly pale faces.
No one knew how Lucas had suddenly disappeared from the main seat of the conference table, perfectly avoiding all the bullets, and appeared several meters away beside the gunmen. They didn’t know how he managed to sever the hands of the gunmen so quickly and precisely either!
He was just like a phantom, and his actions were beyond the abilities of ordinary humans!

“How… how is this possible?” Charlie’s pale face was full of shock and horror.
Lucas was simply… beyond human!
For the first time in his life, Charlie felt incredibly out of his element. He had no idea how terrifying an enemy the Smiths had gotten embroiled with!
Invincible Phantom Hands stood still with maniacal excitement and shock on his face. “He… he’s so fast and skilled. He’s definitely at the level of a grandmaster!”
Grandmaster was the t.i.tle for the extremely rare supreme powerhouses of the world!
Invincible Phantom Hands’ master had been a top expert as well. A long time ago, he had once told Invincible Phantom Hands that there was a cla.s.s of powerhouses that ordinary people couldn’t reach. Like superheroes, their strength was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
His master had always had the goal of becoming a grandmaster, but unfortunately, he never reached this realm even until he died.
Invincible Phantom Hands used to think that his master was just telling him legends and that it was impossible for anyone to reach this realm. Yet he witnessed a miracle with his own eyes today.
Moreover, this legendary grandmaster-level powerhouse was actually a young man less than 30 years old!
Looking at the extremely calm Lucas, Invincible Phantom Hands’ eyes suddenly had a look of frantic wors.h.i.+p.
Only a person like him could be considered a top powerhouse!
Along with the wailing of the gunmen and the odor of blood filling the room, Lucas once again walked toward Oscar.
“No… No… Don’t come over! Please… I’m begging you…” Oscar looked at Lucas as if he was looking at a murderous G.o.d coming out of h.e.l.l. He frantically tried to hide.
Unfortunately, he was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he couldn’t move at all. All he could do was lean against the wall and watch Lucas approach him.
“Oscar Smith, now tell me. Did you agree to give me the land by the river for free?” Lucas walked up to Oscar and looked down at him.
An extremely menacing and mighty aura emanated from Lucas’s body, causing Oscar to be able to bear it any longer and collapse to the floor.
“Yes… yes! I promised you that I would… that I would give you that land!” Oscar was frightened out of his wits. He hurriedly agreed with Lucas, fearing that Lucas would kill him if he was unhappy.
“That’s what you said. What if you go back on your word again?” Lucas smirked like a cat teasing a rat.
“No! Absolutely not! I… can write a letter of transfer. I won’t go back on my word!” Oscar hurriedly said. He immediately instructed a secretary of Peak Constructions to prepare the transfer contract.
Lucas finally smiled. “In that case, thank you, Mr. Smith!”
Soon, the frightened secretary returned with the transfer contract and handed it to Oscar to have him sign and seal it. Then he handed it to Lucas with trembling hands.
Lucas casually glanced at it to ensure that there was no mistake, nodded, and put the transfer contract into his pocket.
“Uh… M-Mr. Gray, I’ve given you this land, and I will… never come to California again! I-I’ll get lost to the airport right now and never show up in front of you ever again in my life!” Oscar said with fear and trepidation, his body completely drenched.
Lucas nodded casually and didn’t stop him.
Oscar had almost died. He was so terrified that he wouldn’t dare to provoke Lucas again.
After Oscar stumbled out of the meeting hall, Charlie wiped the cold sweat from his face and hurriedly bid farewell to Lucas. “I’m sorry, Mr. Gray! I hope you won’t mind my mistakes! I’ll leave California immediately and never show up in front of you again!”
With that, he ran toward the door of the reception hall.
“Stop! Did I say you could leave?”
An extremely cold voice resembling the voice of a demon from h.e.l.l rang in Charlie’s ears.
Charlie stiffened immediately.
Even though he was desperate to leave this place, his legs were no longer under his control. After hearing what Lucas said, he was frozen in place, not daring to move an inch.
Fear surged in Charlie’s heart, and he shuddered violently.
He never thought that Lucas wouldn’t be willing to let him go!
He wondered how Lucas would deal with him.
