Chapter 72 Thomas lowered his head and replied in a low voice, âOr else, it will not be just the two of us who will die. He even wants our families to pay for the death of his brother.â
Immediately, a murderous aura could be discerned from Nathan.
Narrowing his eyes, he hissed, âLightning is really too daring.â
âThomas, prepare for our trip to Sunny Canopy Resort tonight.â
Thomas responded loudly, âYes, Sir!â
...
Night fell a few hours later.
The lights shone brightly in Sunny Canopy Resort, which was situated in the city of Channing.
Everybody knew that the underworld lord, Lightning, was in Channing, and stayed at the resort.
Many figures from the underworld, as well as wealthy individuals, flocked to Lightning and pandered up to him.
Of course, there were others who lamented his arrival.
This was because everybody knew that Lightning had come to Channing this time to take revenge for his brother, Harry Leigh.
Many thought that this would be the end of Nathan Cross and Thomas Dunn.
Two coffins decorated the main lobby of Sunny Canopy Resort. It was the coffins that Lightning had brought to Channing.
He once guaranteed that they would be filled with Nathan and Thomasâ bodies.
Meanwhile, he was seated in a wooden armchair with Scarface, accompanied by a bunch of men who stood around him.
Scarface looked at Joseph Myers and the Smith brothers, as well as the rest who came to visit them. He told all of them coldly, âLightning is here for his brotherâs revenge tonight. He will not be taking in any visitors. Please leave, or else, you will incur his wrath.â
The group could only leave the scene.
As they stepped out, many started to speculate whether Nathan and Thomas would visit and accept their deaths.
Joseph Myers scoffed, âHow dare they not come if Lightning has asked them to? If they donât, Lightning will surely destruct both of their families, based on his temper and the manner in which he does things.â
At nine, a Rolls Royce, followed by two Audis, arrived at the carpark of Sunny Canopy Resort.
Nathan, Thomas, Jack, and eight other men alighted the cars.
The moment they stepped out, a group of suited, ferocious-looking men, surrounded them discreetly.
At the same time, a few men dashed into the resortâs lobby and yelled at the top of their lungs, âBoss! Thomas and Nathan are here! They are really here!â
However, Nathan remained calm as he strolled into the resort with the rest.
He spotted the two coffins in the middle of the lobby immediately, as well as Lightning in the wooden armchair, surrounded by a dozen men.
As they stepped in, a dozen of men followed them and locked the doors.
Lightning looked at them with despise and teased, âThomas, itâs enough that you and Nathan are here. Youâve even brought a few men with you. Are they here to pick your bodies up?â
Lightning thought that they were here on their own accord because they were frightened!
Lightningâs gaze landed on Nathan as he asked in a sinister manner, âSo you are Nathan? The man whoâd used despicable means to attack my brother sneakily, killing him?â
Nathan shook his head, âYou are wrong. I killed your brother in broad daylight with many onlookers. It was not a sneak attack as youâve said.â
Everyone widened their eyes as they heard Nathanâs words. They could not believe that he would behave and speak so indignantly when he was this close to death.
A murderous aura emanated from Lightning in an overwhelming manner. Everyoneâs hairs stood on ends.
Shooting them a death stare, Lightning ordered, âScarface, send him to his death!â
