Chapter 936: Shocking
Dwayne finally realized that he barely knew anything about Lucas even though he thought that he had already understood him very well. He knew nothing about his strength!
Now, he couldn’t even defeat Lucas’s subordinate. In that case, how could he possibly kill Lucas and take revenge for his buddy Julian?
The more Dwayne thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. No, this can’t go on. Otherwise, I’ll die here!
Dwayne stared at Jordan, who was standing not too far in front of him, followed by Lucas, who was sitting in the Land Rover. A flash of determination suddenly appeared in his eyes!
He grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and threw it at Jordan!
“d.a.m.n it!” Jordan didn’t expect an expert like Dwayne would suddenly make such a roguish move. He shouted and quickly raised his hand to cover his eyes.
Dwayne took the opportunity to get up from the ground and turn around to flee.
“Don’t think that I’m afraid of you. One day, the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation will make you two die!” Dwayne said ferociously while escaping.
“d.a.m.n it!” Jordan cursed angrily. He flicked his sleeve and shook off the dirt before chasing after Dwayne.
“Don’t chase him.” An incredibly familiar voice sounded from behind Jordan.
…
At some point, Lucas had quietly gotten out of the car and was standing beside the Land Rover.
In the distance, Dwayne, who had already run a hundred meters away, suddenly staggered forward and fell to the ground as if he had been shot by a gun.
The tall and burly Dwayne struggled on the ground for a while before suddenly stiffening. Then he stopped moving.
Dwayne, a top expert of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, died just like that!
Jordan was slightly stunned for a moment before immediately realizing that Dwayne had definitely died in Lucas’s hands.
Jordan walked to Dwayne and glanced at the tiny hole that had penetrated through the back of his head. He exclaimed in awe, “Lucas, you… you’re too strong!”
He had just tried his best to defeat Dwayne and had even sustained some internal injuries, yet Dwayne got killed by a pebble Lucas flicked out effortlessly.
It was indeed very infuriating.
Fortunately, he was Lucas’s follower, so he felt very much at ease by his side.
If he were Lucas’s enemy, facing such an unimaginably strong enemy would be too terrifying!
The mere thought of it made him feel hopeless!
…
In an exquisite villa belonging to the Howards in DC…
Sitting in his study, Ezra was holding a book in his hand. He read it for a long time, but he didn’t process a single word in it.
He put the book down in annoyance, raised his wrist to look at the time on his watch, and frowned.
It had been almost an hour since Lucas left the Howard residence. No matter what, the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation’s top powerhouse Dwayne should have already killed Lucas by now.
But why wasn’t there any news yet?
“Did Dwayne… not make a move? Or did he mess up?” Ezra frowned, but soon, he dismissed the thought.
He understood Dwayne well enough to know that he shared a close relations.h.i.+p with Julian. He was certain that Dwayne would definitely deal with Lucas after learning that the person who had killed Julian appeared in DC.
It was even more impossible for Dwayne to mess up.
Dwayne’s true strength was among the top five in the entire Peerless Martial a.s.sociation headquarters, and he was sure that Lucas was no match for him!
“Those pieces of trash haven’t obtained any news!”
Just as Erza was thinking about whether to call the subordinates he had sent out to keep an eye on the news, the door to his study was suddenly knocked on forcefully.
“Come in!” Ezra said in displeasure.
The next second, one of his subordinates rushed in with panic written all over his face. “Mr. Ezra, he’s dead!”
Ezra was about to lose his temper. But after hearing this remark, he realized that this subordinate was the one he had sent to keep an eye on Dwayne.
“Did you just say he’s dead?” Ezra was stunned. Then he immediately had a look of ecstasy on his face. “Haha, is that d.a.m.ned Lucas Gray dead?
“I knew it. I knew I could count on Master Dwayne! Even if Lucas Gray is more powerful than the Howards, so what? I refuse to believe that he can defeat Master Dwayne of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation!
“Haha, as long as he dies, it will be impossible for Grandpa to hand over the position of helmsman to Florence. Besides, Samuel has just been stripped of his status as successor, so he won’t be able to compete with me anymore!
“Soon, I will become the most legitimate successor of the Howards!”
Ezra was so excited that his face flushed red, and he looked in the sky to laugh a few times.
His subordinate was on the verge of tears. “No… Mr. Ezra, you’re mistaken!
“The person who died isn’t Lucas Gray but… Master Dwayne of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation!”
“What did you say?!” Ezra’s face froze. Then his expression changed drastically when he realized what exactly the subordinate had said. “What did you say? Who did you say is dead? Master Dwayne is dead?”
“Yes… the person who died is Master Dwayne!”
The subordinate stammered, “I followed your instructions and followed Lucas Gray’s car quietly. I saw with my own eyes that Master Dwayne’s SUV stopped Lucas Gray’s car, and then there was a conflict.
“I… I was afraid of being discovered by them, so I didn’t dare to get too close and could only hide and watch from a distance.
“Later, Lucas Gray’s car drove away, and Master Dwayne… died on the ground! I went to confirm it, and he’s really… really dead!”
The subordinates revealed everything that he had seen.
Ezra staggered and loosened his grip on his collar before asking in disbelief, “How is that possible? Master Dwayne is a top expert of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation. How could he have died in the hands of that punk Lucas Gray?
“Master Dwayne’s true strength can be ranked among the top five in the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation. How could he be killed by a young punk like Lucas Gray?
“I don’t believe it!”
Ezra snapped at the subordinate, “You said you personally saw it yourself. How did Master Dwayne die?”
The subordinate hurriedly said, “I was too far away, so I can’t describe their fight in detail. But I saw a small hole in the back of Master Dwayne’s head after he died. He looked like he had been shot!
“But… but I didn’t hear a gunshot. I don’t know…”
“A small hole in his head? That’s right. He must have been shot!” Ezra seemed to have come to a sudden realization. “I was wondering how they could have killed Master Dwayne, who has such a high rank in the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation. It turns out they used a gun!”
“You probably didn’t hear the gunshot because they used a silencer to prevent trouble. Hmph, how daring!
“If the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation finds out about this, those two punks aren’t going to survive the night!”
A look of menace appeared on Ezra’s face again.
