Chapter 167: Let Him Plead With Me

“Really?” Hearing Bryce say that he would let them off, Karen immediately wanted to verify it with excitement.

“Of course, I’ll keep to my word! I’m just afraid you don’t have the ability to make that wastrel son-in-law of yours agree!” Bryce answered, deliberately trying to provoke Karen.

He had long figured out that Lucas was extremely ruthless to others, especially him. He had merely insulted Cheyenne and Amelia a few times, but he received a harsh beating from Lucas, who had shown no mercy at all.

However, Lucas was very forgiving toward Cheyenne’s family. Regardless of how Karen and William scolded and hit him, he would just bear with it.

Thus, he wanted to get Karen deal with Lucas and see what the latter would do!

Indeed, the foolish woman immediately fell for the trick and turned around to holler at Lucas, “Lucas Gray! Why are you still standing there, you good-for-nothing? Didn’t you hear what Bryce just said? Get down on your knees, apologize to Bryce, and beg him to spare us! You’re the one who caused this trouble, yet you’re making us take the blame. You’re a sinner!”

Karen ordered self-righteously, as if forcing Lucas to get on his knees and beg Bryce to show them mercy was just a trivial matter.

Lucas’s face darkened. But before he could say anything, Charlotte rushed over and blocked him. She shouted at Karen, “Mom, come to your senses! Think about it. Bryce and Dominic Carter have long wanted to kick us out. Before, he also came to kick up a fuss here too. At that time, Lucas hadn’t done anything to him yet, but did he let us off?

“If Lucas hadn’t arrived in time, we would have been kicked out of the house that day! Why are you still fantasizing about them letting us off? He just wants to humiliate Lucas. Lucas has done so much for us! He’s saved us on so many occasions!

“But what about you? All you do is push him out to make him take the blame for everything. You even want to make him kneel down to a bastard who’s worse than a beast! Mom, can’t you think about it carefully and see who truly treats us well?”

“Shut up! You shut up!” Karen yelled furiously. She even raised her arm and was about to slap Charlotte on her face. Charlotte is getting more and more unruly, and she’s always going against me. I must teach her a lesson and let her know the tone she should use when talking to her mother!

But Lucas grabbed Karen’s wrist tightly again.

“Enough!” Lucas bellowed while glaring daggers at Karen’s eyes. He said with a stern gaze, “I give in to you all the time, not because I respect and fear you but because I don’t want to put Cheyenne in a difficult spot and cause her to be caught between us. But if you think I’ll be at your mercy and let you trample all over my dignity as you wish, you’re wrong! If you continue kicking up a fuss like this, don’t blame me for not showing you any mercy.”

Karen’s body suddenly stiffened. It was her first time seeing Lucas glaring at her with such a stern gaze and saying such harsh words. She knew that he definitely wasn’t scaring her but instead really dared to do such things.

Karen, who often liked bullying the weak and feared the strong, was speechless. In fact, she even felt cold.

She seemed to be shocked by her son-in-law, as though it was her first time meeting him. His aura, which was totally different from before, was just too unfamiliar to her.

“Charlotte, take her to a safe place, lest she accidentally gets hurt later,” Lucas said to Charlotte.

“Okay!” Charlotte nodded and pulled Karen to a corner of the courtyard.

She knew what Lucas was going to do.

Lucas finally turned to look at Bryce, and he warned gravely, “Now take your people and get out of here immediately! Or else don’t blame me for being merciless.”

Bryce subconsciously shuddered as the pain from the wounds on his arm and forehead intensified. But he recovered a second later and remembered that he still had a powerful bodyguard, whom he had paid a large sum of money to hire. There was no need for him to be scared of the loser Lucas.

“Hmph, just keep bragging! Don’t forget. You’ve also offended the Hales last night. They definitely won’t spare you!”

Bryce still didn’t know that the Hales had long been destroyed.

Yesterday, he and Dominic had left the banquet early. Otherwise, if he knew what had happened, he probably wouldn’t have had the courage to take half a step toward Lucas again.

Lucas was completely unfazed and simply walked toward Bryce step by step. “I’ll give you ten seconds to get out immediately!”

As Lucas approached, the fear Bryce had been suppressing in his heart suddenly surged again, and he roared furiously, “Go! Beat him hard! I want to break his limbs so that he can only crawl on the ground like a dog!”

After hearing the order, the tall and burly bodyguard immediately raised his fists and stomped his feet. He charged toward Lucas like an arrow launched from a bow.

A joyous smile appeared on Bryce’s face. The bodyguard was so fast that Lucas wouldn’t be able to dodge at all!

But to his surprise, Lucas didn’t dodge. Instead, he stood still without moving as the distance between him and the bodyguard became closer and closer. If Lucas still didn’t dodge, he would definitely be hit!

Was he scared silly? Or hasn’t he recovered from the shock yet? Bryce secretly guessed in his heart.

Meanwhile, Karen grinned and muttered, “Hmph, he deserves it! Good-for-nothing, how dare you defy me and be so fierce toward me? It’d be great if you get killed!”

Charlotte’s face was tense as she stared at Lucas while subconsciously crossing her arms in front of herself. She yelled anxiously, “Lucas, be careful!”

Although she had seen Lucas’s combat skills before and knew that he was good at martial arts, the person opposite them was a martial arts expert whom Bryce had spent a lot of money to hire. Charlotte was really nervous.

“Hahahahaha! Lucas, just wait to die! This is a top expert that I paid a massive price of thirty thousand dollars to hire! You’re not his match at all!” Seeing the tall and burly bodyguard getting closer and closer to Lucas, Bryce finally guffawed loudly in joy, as if he could already see the miserable sight of Lucas being beaten up and collapsing onto the ground.

Lucas thought, He only spent thirty thousand. What kind of an expert can he be?

Even the king of underground boxing, Wade, whom Gordon Douglas had hired to deal with him, had a price of 150,000 dollars; while John Hans, whom he had crippled with a kick at the Hale residence yesterday, had a price of several million dollars.

In Lucas’s opinion, this bodyguard hired using 30,000 dollars was extremely slow.

At this moment, the tall and burly bodyguard was already less than half a meter away from Lucas, and he would touch Lucas as soon as he raised his hand. With his eyes wide open, Bryce was waiting to see Lucas get sent flying with a kick.

“Aaahhh!”

The bodyguard shrieked miserably and flew up into the air. He was immediately flung more than ten meters away, as though a speeding car had slammed into him!
