Chapter 843: Gone Now
Lucas stood proudly in the middle of the hall and looked at Phil, who was already so shocked that he had broken out in cold sweat. He said coldly, “Do you know what crime it is for trying to kill me?”
Phil was already utterly frightened by Lucas’s methods, which were beyond the limits of ordinary humans. Now that he heard Lucas’s question, all that remained in him was fear, and he didn’t know what to say.
Lucas sneered. “Jordan, tell him what crime he’ll be charged with for attempting to kill an meritorious officer of the country!”
Jordan was astonished. Is Lucas about to reveal his true ident.i.ty?
The Smiths and the Dempseys were all dumbfounded.
Meritorious officer?
What is that?
Crime… what does that mean?
Jordan cleared his throat and said solemnly, “According to the law, anyone who tries to kill a high-ranking officer will be deemed a threat to the country, and the crime is treason! The instigators and accomplices will all be punished by the law!”
“What?!”
The Dempseys and the Stones were all so shocked that they widened their mouths!
The most serious consequence of the crime of treason was the death penalty!
Was he implying that Lucas was a meritorious officer of the country?
“What… exactly do you mean?” Phil’s heart began pounding rapidly. The words ‘meritorious officer’ made him suddenly think of a possibility, and he instantly turned pale.
Geoffrey, who was about the same age as Phil, also thought of that possibility, and the shock in his heart was indescribable!
The phrase ‘meritorious officer’ immediately made him think of the four armies guarding the borders of the US.
Only the supreme commanders of each of the four armies were qualified to hold this t.i.tle…
Moreover, as far as Geoffrey knew, the current captain of the Falcon Regiment was said to be an extremely young man in his twenties!
Although he was young, he had extreme strength. Even bullets and guns couldn’t hurt him. Furthermore, he had spent only two short years to fortify Calico well, making no enemy dare to invade!
He was a formidable person whose strength had far exceeded that of ordinary people. He could deal with a thousand soldiers alone!
Is it possible… that this young man is the one from the legends?!
At the thought of this, Geoffrey inhaled sharply!
Sylvester snapped back to his senses and immediately shouted, “Dad! Don’t listen to his nonsense. You can’t believe a word he says!
“The only chance we have to live is to kill him immediately. Otherwise, the Dempseys will all die here today!
“Dad, don’t hesitate anymore. Hurry up and reveal the trump card you prepared earlier!”
He was afraid that his family would really regard Lucas as a big shot and thus not dare to harm him.
In that case, his son Jessey would never be avenged!
After Phil heard what Sylvester said, a trace of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes.
After what they did just now, the Dempseys had already completely offended Lucas, who absolutely wouldn’t spare them!
Regardless of whether he was that terrifying big shot or not, Dempseys had no way out now.
Just as Sylvester said, their only shot at surviving was to use all means to kill Lucas and Jordan here. Only when they were dead would the matter be completely over!
Phil no longer hesitated as a maniacal look appeared on his face.
“Hah, you forced me! Do you think that the Dempseys’ trump cards are just these things? Let me tell you. You’re absolutely wrong!
“In addition to the gunmen just now, the Dempseys also prepared four top international snipers, and they’re hiding nearby!”
“Their sniper rifles have long aimed at your heads! As long as I give the order, your heads will explode!
“I don’t care what your ident.i.ties are. You must die here today! That’s what you get for going against the Dempseys and the Smiths!”
When Phil thought of the power of his trump card, his heart was filled with infinite confidence.
With a smug look, Sylvester looked at Lucas with contempt. “You were lucky to have dodged just now. But this time, I don’t believe you can still dodge four top snipers!
“Hahahaha, this is what you get for killing my son!
“That’s not all. Once you two are dead, I’m going to whip your corpses! I’m gonna chop you up into bits and feed you to the dogs!”
“I will also find out your addresses and the people related to you and kill all of them! I’ll let you know my pain and make you regret killing my son!”
Sylvester’s face was flushed with agitation as he screamed hysterically, seemingly having gone mad.
The other Dempseys were also invigorated. Since there was this backup plan, Lucas wouldn’t be able to escape again!
Because Geoffrey, the helmsman of the Stones, had been staying silent, the other family members didn’t dare to be unrestrained. They merely looked at each other without speaking.
In fact, Geoffrey felt extremely complicated now.
Although he guessed that Lucas was very likely to be that legendary one, he didn’t have any other ties with Lucas.
Besides, now that Lucas had been targeted by four snipers, it was almost impossible for him to escape. As an in-law of the Dempseys, he naturally couldn’t suddenly turn his back on them and help Lucas.
Even though Lucas was an incredible powerhouse, he could only die here.
“Kid, I advise you to kneel down and surrender immediately. If you do, I might let you die an easy death. Otherwise, even your heads will explode!” Phil shouted in a deep voice.
“Snipers…” Lucas sighed, seemingly hearing something regrettable. He put down the gla.s.s of wine in his hand and casually picked out four peanuts from a plate of dried fruits on the banquet table.
“… Unfortunately, they’ll be gone soon.”
Everyone watched in bewilderment as Lucas waved his hand and flung out the peanuts.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Four m.u.f.fled sounds came from the windows.
The Dempseys and the Stones were confused as to what Lucas was doing.
Why did he throw out a few peanuts?
They had no idea that the snipers ambus.h.i.+ng at several hidden locations around the Maestro International Hotel suddenly saw a small dot appear in their rifle scopes that continuously expanded before striking them!
With four successive sounds, the peanuts resembled bullets piercing the foreheads of the four snipers.
A deep hole appeared between their brows, and blood started gus.h.i.+ng out of the holes.
The eyes of these snipers slowly lost their l.u.s.ter. They all seemed dumbfounded, still unable to understand what happened.
“What’s gone? Do you think pulling these tricks is going to help?” Sylvester pointed at Lucas with a face full of contempt.
Lucas said with a faint smile, “I mean, the snipers you’re relying on are gone now.”
