Chapter 317: A Button

At this point, Kyle had long become terrified of Lucas. He hurriedly shook his head. “No, no, no, I wouldn’t dare to make you pay! I’ll give you that woman for free. I won’t take a single cent!”

If he had known that Lucas was so formidable and terrifying, he would have never tried to provoke him from the start!

“Hurry up and release her now. What are you waiting for?”

“Release her? Oh, oh, yes. I’ll get to it immediately!”

Kyle was a little dazed at this point, and his mind was in a whirlwind, so it took him a while to realize what Lucas meant. He hurriedly hollered at Russell, “Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what Mr. Gray said? Quickly release that woman on the stage!”

“Yes!” Russell didn’t dare to delay. He sprinted toward the auction stage to personally open the door of the large glass display case that Grace was locked up in. He then brought her to Lucas.

All this while, Grace had been locked in the glass display case and could only watch the auction begin with a commotion, followed by the altercation between some people and Lucas, who was originally supposed to win the auction and take her away. When she saw this, her heart tensed up, and she was terribly scared that something might happen to him.

Later, all the guests were made to leave the auction hall, resulting in Lucas and a few other people being the only ones left. All of a sudden, a bunch of armed henchmen surrounded Lucas, making her even more anxious.

Unfortunately, she was locked in the soundproof glass display case, so she couldn’t hear the noise outside. The fact that she didn’t know what was happening made her even more flustered and anxious as she continuously hit the glass walls of the display case until abrasions formed on the skin of her elbows.

Now that she was brought to Lucas and saw Kyle, whom Lucas was stepping on, she finally learned that Lucas had the upper hand in the conflict this time. She was finally going to be rescued!

“You two, take her away first!” Lucas suddenly said to Lena and Bruce.

Lena immediately looked at Lucas worriedly, as she couldn’t be at ease with him staying here alone.

Bruce hurriedly grabbed Lena’s arm and shook his head. “Lena, I think we’d better listen to him and leave! There’s no point staying here anyway. We might even end up disturbing Mr. Gray.”

Lena also realized that this was indeed the case. So she could only say worriedly with some reluctance, “Be careful on your own then. We’ll wait for you outside.”

Soon, Lena and Bruce brought Grace away from the underground auction venue.

“Mr. Gray, we’ve already let your friends go. Can you please let Mr. Kingston off now?” Russell asked anxiously. He was worried he might further anger Lucas if he said something wrong.

Lucas said calmly, “I didn’t intend to become enemies with the Kingstons today, and I wasn’t the one who started this ruckus either. I can let Kyle Kingston off today, but I hope you will remember that I, Lucas Gray, am no pushover. The reason that I choose not to create trouble is not because I’m afraid. Anyone who plans to provoke me first should consider if they can bear the consequences before doing so!”

“Yes, you are right! We will definitely remember!” Russell hurriedly agreed on Kyle’s behalf.

Kyle was still being stepped on by Lucas, who was still in control of his life. Regardless of how indignant and reluctant he was, he had no choice but to bear with it for now, not daring to show the slightest displeasure on his face.

Lucas moved his foot away from Kyle’s chest and let him off. He then turned around and walked toward the exit of the auction hall.

Kyle stared straight at Lucas’s back, wishing he could kill him immediately. But after thinking about the way Lucas could suddenly appear in front of him like a phantom, he hesitated and dared not take the risk. Forget it. I’ll let this bastard off for now. When the time comes, I’ll definitely kill him!

The elite henchmen around him didn’t move either because they hadn’t received any orders from Kyle. They simply watched Lucas walk toward the exit of the auction hall.

Liam stood next to him with a sullen expression. He had planned to make Lucas spend a ton of money today, but the latter managed to slip away like a loach. Not only did he not fall into Liam’s trap, but he even humiliated him and Kyle. Liam was bent on taking revenge on Lucas!

Just as Liam was glaring viciously at Lucas’s back, Lucas suddenly turned around and flicked something from his fingertips that swiftly darted toward Liam like a ray of light.

“Pfft!” The round object instantly penetrated Liam’s throat, and two streams of blood gushed out from the front and back of his neck.

Liam raised his hand and touched his neck in bewilderment, but he was already falling backward. With a loud thud, he collapsed onto the ground.

“Mr. Wallace!” Russell and Kyle were astounded. By the time they rushed forward to squat down beside Liam and take a look at his situation, his pupils had already dilated and lost their luster.

Liam was dead!

“This is… a button!” One of the Kingstons’ subordinates hurriedly picked up a bloodstained golden button from a spot on the ground near Liam and handed it to Russell.

When Russell saw the familiar-looking button, his pupils suddenly constricted, and he turned to look at Kyle’s neck.

Kyle was wearing a designer striped dress shirt, but the topmost button on the collar had already gone missing. The remaining buttons on the shirt were identical to the bloodstained one!

The truth couldn’t be any clearer. Lucas had ripped the button off of Kyle’s collar when he was strangling him. At that time, Kyle was on the verge of death, so he naturally had no time to notice such trivial things.

The tiny object that Lucas had flicked with his fingers when he was standing at the exit of the auction hall was this very button that pierced through Liam’s throat, killing him on the spot!

Everyone’s eyes were full of disbelief.

The door of the auction hall was nearly twenty meters away from Liam’s body!

Given such a great distance, even a bullet might not be shot accurately at the target.

Yet Lucas managed to kill Liam accurately by flicking the tiny button at him. How terrifying was this?!

His actions… were far beyond the abilities of a human!

Bang!

Lucas walked out of the door of the auction hall, and the metal gate slammed shut with a loud bang.

Kyle shivered violently as he broke out in cold sweat that spread all over his body.

Beside him, Russell also raised his hand to wipe the sweat off of his forehead. He said with lingering fears, “Mr. Kyle, this man is too terrifying. He has incredible combat skills and reflexes. He also has an extremely rare Black Diamond Card. You’d better not go against him in the future!”

Looking at Liam’s corpse, Kyle recalled the humiliation he felt when Lucas choked him and stepped on his chest. He said indignantly, “Regardless of how powerful he might be, his body is still made of flesh and blood! Next time, I’ll definitely deploy my family’s gun squad to besiege him. Let’s see how he can hide then!”

Russell stared at the indignant and furious but frightened Kyle and decided not to persuade him further. This stubborn fool who was almost just killed is probably going to dig his own grave soon. Why should I bother talking sense into him if he refuses to listen?
