Chapter 168: Don’t Strangle Him

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Hahahaha, you’d actually end up in such a state too…” Bryce laughed loudly in excitement. But his laughter soon ceased as if he had been strangled, and his expression changed drastically.

In the middle of the courtyard, the unharmed Lucas was standing still with composure and a smile on his face.

Everyone was astonished!

No one could see clearly how Lucas managed to fling the tall, strong, and burly bodyguard more than ten meters away in that instant just now.

The bodyguard was now lying motionlessly on the street more than ten meters away, and he had long passed out.

A single kick had sent the muscular and burly man, who weighed more than 100 kilograms, flying! No one knew if he was dead or alive!

His power and speed were definitely not something that ordinary people could possess!

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in astonishment. They almost couldn’t believe their eyes!

Bryce repeatedly rubbed his eyes and looked at the two of them several times indignantly before finally hopelessly confirming that Lucas was the one standing in the middle of the courtyard, completely unscathed. On the other hand, the bodyguard, whom he spent 30,000 dollars to hire, had already collapsed onto the ground like a dead dog.

After losing his backer, an infinite sense of horror arose in Bryce’s heart again, and this time, it was more intense than any other time in the past.

Bryce was overwhelmed with hopelessness and despair!

Standing at the side, the engineer in charge of the demolition inhaled sharply. As he looked at the wrecked building that had been demolished under his command, his heart began ricocheting, and he wished that he had never come here today.

The workers beside him, who were holding sledgehammers, axes, and other demolition tools, turned as pale as a sheet as their tools dropped from their hands to the ground. But no one dared to pick them up.

Karen widened her eyes and mouth as though she had seen a ghost. She remained still and stared at Lucas in shock.

Karen’s heart was full of lingering fear. Lucas actually has such terrifying combat skills… I’ve insulted him, tried to hit him several times before, forced him to divorce Cheyenne, and even tried to compel him to kneel down and beg Bryce for mercy just now…

The more Karen thought about it, the more terrified she was. Her legs turned to jelly, and she almost couldn’t stand straight anymore.

Charlotte was initially also shocked by Lucas’s combat skills, but she soon smiled gleefully and gave Lucas a big thumbs up with admiration and respect in her eyes.

Although she had long known that he had impressive combat skills, she was nevertheless elated and proud that he was that powerful!

Lucas looked at Bryce again and walked toward him.

“You just said that you were going to break my limbs and make me crawl on the ground like a dog, didn’t you?” Lucas asked coldly.

“No… I-I was j-just s-spouting n-n-nonsense. I was just spouting nonsense!” Bryce denied in a shaky voice.

“You also said that you would prepare an urn for each of us, and one for my daughter as well, didn’t you?” Lucas questioned as he took another step forward.

“I-I-I was o-out of my m-m-mind! I just wanted to scare you… I didn’t mean to curse you!”

Bryce waved his hands in front of himself repeatedly, trying to explain himself while retreating continuously. Unfortunately, the large bright yellow excavator was not far behind him. It was occupying a large amount of space, leaving him with no room to retreat.

“You also said that you want me to kneel on the ground and beg you to let us off and that we deserve all these disgusting things that you did to us today, didn’t you?” Lucas inched closer, and his voice became colder.

Bryce collapsed onto the ground with a loud thud as his legs turned weak. While kneeling, he pleaded, “Lucas, it’s all my fault! I was wrong! Just spare me for Cheyenne’s sake!”

As Bryce spoke, Lucas had already walked up to him and was looking down at him condescendingly. Lucas’s body was like a bolt of lightning as he grabbed Bryce’s neck and lifted him off the ground.

“For Cheyenne’s sake? You’ve already said that to me several times before, and I’ve let you off countless times for Cheyenne’s sake! But what did you say just now? You said I’ve never shown you any mercy. Looks like I have to let you feel what will happen to you when I no longer show you any mercy!”

As Lucas spoke, he tightened his grip on Bryce’s neck, causing his throat to cackle. His face gradually turned pale, and his eyes rolled upward.

He looked as though he was about to be strangled to death by Lucas!

With his legs dangling in the air, Bryce struggled desperately. Overwhelmed with fear and terror, he regretted going against Lucas again and again. He failed to take advantage every time he went against Lucas, but he still hadn’t learned his lesson!

He wanted to beg Lucas for mercy and ask Lucas to let him off. But now, he couldn’t even breathe, and the feeling of suffocating made him blackout in misery.

Karen was overwhelmed with panic and anxiety as she watched Lucas strangle Bryce. She sat motionlessly on the ground, unable to even utter a single word or even have the strength to look away.

Next to her, the ten-odd demolition workers of the engineering company were so scared they almost peed their pants!

Is he going to kill him in front of so many people?

Logically speaking, they should have gone up to stop him or called the police, but Lucas was so terrifying that they didn’t dare to move at all!

Charlotte initially felt extremely relieved when she saw Lucas holding Bryce by the neck and lifting him up.

But when she saw Bryce turning purple and gradually losing his strength, she began to feel scared again, fearing that Lucas might accidentally kill Bryce in a fit of anger!

Charlotte anxiously rushed forward and grabbed Lucas’s arm. “Lucas, hurry and let go of him! Don’t strangle him to death! He’s dying. If you continue, you’ll end up getting arrested for murder or even get sentenced to death!

“Lucas, I beg you. Please think of Cheyenne and Amelia. If you die, what’s going to happen to them?! It’s not worth sacrificing yourself for a horrible person like Bryce Carter!”
