Chapter 723 - Kneeling To Beg For Mercy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The sharp pain coming from his knees made Vince grimace.

But what was even more unbearable was the humiliation of being forced to get on his knees in front of the crowd!

Never in the five decades of his life had he ever suffered such humiliation!

“Y-you, let go of me!” Vince’s eyes were bloodshot as he hollered furiously while struggling to break free from Lucas’s grip.

Unfortunately, the strength Lucas possessed was simply not something that Vince could resist. Try as he might, he couldn’t break free from Lucas’s hand at all.

“I told you that you have to give me an explanation! I will use my own methods to make you do it!” Lucas said coldly while looking down at Vince. “It seems you haven’t experienced it enough yet.”

Then Lucas suddenly tightened his grip on Vince’s shoulder, digging his hand like a claw into the flesh of Vince’s shoulder.

Crack!

The hair-raising sound of bones cracking clearly reached the ears of everyone around.

“Ahhhhhh! My… my shoulder!” Vince suddenly tilted his head up and let out a miserable shriek.

His shriek immediately made countless people subconsciously shiver.

The designer white shirt Vince was wearing became stained with fresh blood gushing out of the holes that Lucas made in his flesh. It was terrifyingly red and bloody.

“Do I have the qualifications to receive an apology from you now?” The expression on Lucas’s face didn’t change in the slightest, as if he was just pinching a puppet while asking this question coldly.

Vince began inhaling cold air in large mouthfuls, his face covered in cold sweat. The excruciating pain coming from his shoulder caused his vision to turn black as he wailed in pain, unable to answer Lucas’s question at all.

“My patience is limited. I’ll give you ten last seconds. If you don’t apologize, you’ll die now!” Lucas gave an ultimatum coldly.

Others didn’t dare to lay a hand on Vince because they were afraid of facing the Smiths’ retaliation.

But Lucas wasn’t afraid at all.

Vince had repeatedly tried to kill him even after knowing that he wasn’t his son’s murderer. Lucas was being nice enough by only asking for an apology.

If Vince still didn’t know what to do, Lucas definitely didn’t mind killing him.

At this moment, Vince was kneeling on the ground, his knees, shoulder, and heart in immense pain!

He was the future successor of the Smiths, but he was now being forced to get on his knees to apologize by a young man in his twenties.

If this matter spread back to DC, the Smiths would definitely strip him of his position as a successor!

For a top wealthy family like the Smiths, the family’s honor and pride were more important than anything else. Moreover, the fact that he had disgraced the Smiths had already become a stain on their reputation, and he would definitely lose the chance to take over the family in the future. He would even become the laughing stock of other wealthy families in DC.

Therefore, Vince didn’t want to give in at all.

Be it for the sake of his dignity as a man or his future, he wasn’t willing to give in to Lucas, the Huttons’ outcast.

But if he held on without apologizing, Vince didn’t have the slightest doubt that Lucas would really kill him!

He was definitely not scaring him but really dared to do it!

“Five…

“Four…

“Three…

“Two…

...

Lucas began counting down expressionlessly.

Just as he was about to count to the last second, Vince finally couldn’t withstand the tremendous psychological pressure and completely bowed down.

“I’m sorry!

“I… I shouldn’t have listened to others without finding out the truth and mistakenly thought you killed my son!

“And I shouldn’t have tried to kill you twice because of it… I’m sorry! I was wrong! I hope… you can forgive me!”

Vince lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and spoke these words with great reluctance.

The meeting hall that accommodated several hundred people was extremely quiet, and even the sound of breathing could barely be heard.

Everyone opened their mouths wide in shock while looking at Vince in disbelief.

Vince, who was previously extremely domineering and aloof, whom no one dared to offend, was actually forced by Lucas to apologize to him and beg for forgiveness in such a humiliating manner!

If they hadn’t seen this scene with their own eyes, they would probably never have believed it!

Axel looked at Lucas’s domineering figure, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

Such a powerful and formidable young man had terrifying future potential!

If he could get him to join the Peerless Martial Association, Lucas would probably be able to enter the headquarters and hold true power within a few years!

At that time, the benefits he could gain as the introducer would be unlimited!

The more he thought about it, the more intense the gaze in his eyes. He even subconsciously licked the corners of his mouth.

“You can get lost now.” Lucas looked down at Vince coldly.

Vince gritted his teeth with all his might, feeling extremely humiliated. He struggled to get up from the floor while enduring the pain in his body. He then walked toward the door of the venue without saying a word.

Seeing this, the middle-aged expert hurriedly chased after him.

“Wait a moment!” Lucas suddenly said.

The middle-aged expert shivered, wishing he could flee immediately. But he knew that there was no way he could escape from Lucas’s terrifying speed.

He timidly turned his head and carefully asked, “Wh-what else do you want?”

Lucas raised his finger and pointed to the floor next to him. “Take the corpse of your family member away.”

Wendy’s corpse was lying on the floor.

The middle-aged expert heaved a sigh of relief, hurriedly walked over, picked up Wendy’s corpse, and dashed out of the hall.

The Smiths had finally left.

However, the atmosphere in the venue wasn’t much more relaxed, and everyone looked at Lucas nervously.

The reason was none other than that the power Lucas just showed was simply too shocking. He could even force the future heir of one of the eight giants of DC to kneel and apologize, and he could kill anyone he wanted. These families were nothing compared to him.

At this moment, the other two of the three top whales of San Francisco looked at Lucas with great fear and nervousness.

The corpse of Lance, whom Vince’s expert had just killed, was still on the floor, and no one dared to go forward to collect it.

The rest of the Kingstons were also worried that Lucas would continue to retaliate against them, but they couldn’t help huddling up, not daring to even look at Lucas.

The Walkers were even more panicked and horrified.

Herman clenched his fists and tried his best to maintain a calm look on his face. But his trembling lips and ashen face were already revealing the panic within him.

Just a short while ago, he had sent two of the Walkers’ experts to kill Lucas.

The martial arts expert Freddie had not only failed to subdue Lucas, but he had even gotten killed by Lucas’s counterattack on the spot.

On the other hand, Sharpshooter Gaia had surrendered on his knees in front of Lucas’s terrifying strength and even pledged allegiance to Lucas by killing Nate.

The two failed attempts to threaten and harm Lucas had not only caused the Walkers to suffer a great loss, but they had undoubtedly formed a deadly feud with Lucas.

Lucas forced Vince to kneel down and apologize on the spot because he had misunderstood him and wanted to kill him. This meant that he definitely wasn’t someone who could be fooled easily.

How would Lucas retaliate against the Walkers then?

All of the Walkers were extremely nervous.

They watched in horror as Lucas turned around, glared at Herman, and suddenly said calmly, “It’s your turn next. I’ll give you the chance to do it yourself!”
