Chapter 583: The Hitman Confesses

Chapter 583: The Hitman Confesses

The mask on the hitman’s face had fallen off, revealing a menacing face full of indignation. “You… I advise you to behave yourself and let me go. Otherwise, you will know what happens!”

Lucas’s eyes constricted. Without hesitation, he stepped on the hitman’s arm, instantly crushing it.

Snap! The crisp sound of bones cracking was exceptionally distinct in the silent ward.

“Aaahhh!” The killer immediately widened his mouth and screamed.

But Lucas moved extremely swiftly as he stepped on the hitman’s mouth with the sole of his shoe and warned, “Shut up! If you dare to make another sound, I’ll crush your head!”

The hitman’s eyes were immediately filled with panic and horror. He clenched his teeth and burst into cold sweat, but he didn’t dare to utter another word.

After the brief encounter just now, he had already profoundly understood that the young man in front of him was not someone he could deal with.

He knew that Lucas was extremely resolute and ruthless. If he dared to disobey him, he would end up miserable!

“Now, tell me honestly. Who sent you?” Lucas stood with his back against the light and his face shrouded in shadows, looking just like a devil.

The hitman’s heart trembled, and he didn’t dare to hide at all. He hurriedly revealed everything he knew. “It was Mr. Kairo who sent me. I’m one of his subordinates, and he asked me to come to this hospital ward in Orange County to kill a bedridden man in a vegetative state!”

“Who is Mr. Kairo? Also, you’re not from Orange County?” Lucas asked.

The hitman hurriedly explained, “Yes, we… we are from LA. Mr. Kairo is in charge of the underground joints in LA, and all the underground dealings are under his control! I-I’m just his subordinate, and I was just following his orders. Please spare me!”

LA? Lucas raised his eyebrows, not expecting the hitman to actually be from LA. This probably meant that the mastermind who hired him should also be from LA.

Now that the Parkers, the most powerful family in LA at the moment, had already completely submitted to Lucas, the various other forces and families shouldn’t have the guts to openly go against him.

But because this was yet another assassination targeted at William, a woman’s face immediately surfaced in Lucas’s mind.

Although there was no concrete evidence yet, Lucas was almost certain that this matter had to be related to her!

The murderer at his feet was still begging for mercy, annoying Lucas to the point of kicking him in the head and knocking him unconscious.

Afterward, Lucas said softly to the door, “Someone, come here.”

Two tall men immediately appeared at the door of the ward, walked up to Lucas with their eyes fixed in front, and bowed. “Mr. Gray.”

These two men were the experts of the Hale family who Lucas had arranged to guard William’s ward.

He had long known that Karen had ill intentions, so he definitely had to be prepared. How could he let Karen be alone with Cheyenne?

So even though Lucas had left for a short while, the situation in William’s ward was under Lucas’s control at all times.

First, he wanted to monitor Karen, and second, he wanted to secretly protect William and Cheyenne.

“Take this man away and make him vanish forever,” Lucas said coldly.

“Yes!” The two men immediately acknowledged and swiftly carried the hitman away.

It had only been less than three minutes since the sudden appearance of the hitman.

Karen watched all of this with her eyes full of confusion, and she couldn’t stop shivering at all.

Karen’s nerves were greatly impacted and stimulated by Lucas’s combat abilities, as well as the expression on his face when he stomped on the hitman’s arm without hesitation.

What does it mean to make that person vanish forever?

Does that mean killing him?

Karen’s teeth began chattering.

At the same time, an unprecedented fear and tension rose in her heart.

Lucas actually appeared here all of a sudden, and he even had someone guarding outside the door…

If the hitman pretending to be a doctor hadn’t suddenly appeared just now, the person who would have been exposed for attempted murder now would be her!

The thought of what she would have faced if she had really gotten caught by Lucas made Karen so scared that she could barely even stand on her feet, and she slumped down onto the floor.

“You… you…” she stammered, seemingly wanting to ask Lucas why he had suddenly returned and wanted to explain to him that she hadn’t done anything to William.

Lucas glanced at her coldly and ignored her. He walked to Cheyenne, and after hearing her breathing peacefully, he finally felt relieved.

When he saw Karen lacing her drink with something just now, he had felt a strong desire to kill her.

But he knew that Karen had merely added some strong sleeping pills to her drink, which wouldn’t be harmful to her health. So he forced himself to hold back instead of exposing Karen immediately.

Since they were just sleeping pills that wouldn’t harm Cheyenne’s health and would even let her have a good rest for the night, Lucas decided to allow Karen to continue.

Otherwise, if Karen had fed Cheyenne some harmful drug, Lucas wouldn’t have let her off!

He took out his phone and made a call.

“Go investigate a person named Kairo in LA. He just sent his subordinate to the hospital to assassinate my father-in-law. Pry open his mouth and find out who instigated him,” Lucas instructed coldly.

The person on the other end was astonished, and he hurriedly exclaimed, “Yes! I’ll send someone to investigate immediately!”

After hanging up, Lucas sat down at the end of Cheyenne’s bed and waited quietly for the news.

Karen waited for half a day, but she didn’t see Lucas doing anything else. Only then did she get up from the floor in fear and return to the bed quietly.

But at this moment, she was overwhelmed with anxiety and uneasiness.

Had Lucas questioned her, she could still make up some excuses and muddle through. Since she didn’t succeed in killing William earlier, Lucas wouldn’t be able to blame her for anything.

If he had to blame something, he could only blame the fact that she hadn’t realized the phony doctor’s trick. After all, she was nearly fifty years old, and it was only understandable that she failed to see through his facade.

Karen kept giving herself psychological prompts to calm herself down. Only then did she feel slightly less flustered.

But Lucas didn’t say anything or ask her any questions. Instead, he remained sitting calmly, quietly putting Karen under massive psychological pressure.

It felt as if there was a knife hanging above her head, but she didn’t know when it would fall.

Time passed, and Lucas’s phone suddenly rang.

Karen was startled to see Lucas answer the phone and directly press the loudspeaker.

Soon, a man’s voice came from the other end. “Mr. Gray, I’ve just found out clearly. Kairo’s subordinate confessed that the person who sent him to kill your father-in-law is Justin Heron from LA!”

After hearing Justin’s name, Karen was so shocked that she suddenly stood up from the bed with a pale face, her heart pounding rapidly.

She now finally knew that Justin had hired the hitman to help Nikki!
