Chapter 992

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The current situation was indeed very unfavorable for Lucas.

In this small room of the abandoned hospital, William was still hanging on the windowsill and surrounded by several gunmen working for Jace.

Although Lucas could easily deal with the gunmen and rescue William, Charlotte was still in Karen’s hands, which meant that she was still under Jace’s control. So Lucas couldn’t take the risk at all.

It would be best if he could lure Karen over here and ensure that Charlotte was safe.

After hearing Lucas’s provocative words, Karen did seem a little tempted.

Indeed, watching Lucas kneel in front of her through a screen was certainly less thrilling than slapping Lucas a few times in person.

“Lucas Gray, you’d better behave yourself. Don’t get any funny ideas! You care about your sister-in-law a lot, don’t you? In that case, there’s no way I’m going to let her back into your hands!”

Jace smiled while instructing Karen, “Don’t try anything funny. Your job is to keep a good eye on that woman! Do you hear me?”

Karen immediately nodded. “Yes, Mr. Hutton! I’ll definitely obey your orders and keep an eye on this bitch Charlotte! If Lucas Gray dares to defy you, I’ll slash this woman’s face and disfigure her!”

Karen was simply inhumane and vicious. She didn’t care at all that the girl she was holding under duress was her biological daughter, whom she had raised herself.

Lucas looked at Karen coldly with an intense murderous intent.

Once he rescued Charlotte and William, he would kill this vicious woman!

At this moment, Jace ended the video call and looked at Lucas with eyes full of malice.

“Lucas Gray, you know what situation you’re in now. Your father-in-law and sister-in-law are both in my hands! You must obey me!”

Lucas stood up from the floor and said coldly, “What do you want?”

Jace said with a smile, “I want you to play a game with me. You should have heard of Russian Roulette, right?”

Then he took out a revolver and a bullet from his pocket and placed them on the table in front of him.

Lucas was naturally familiar with Russian Roulette.

But instead of a game, it was more like a cruel gamble. Unlike other gambling games like poker and so on, Russian Roulette was potentially fatal!

The rules of Russian Roulette were very simple. The participants loaded a revolver with one bullet, spun the cylinder, and took turns firing at their own head. The one who got shot would of course die on the spot and automatically quit, while those too cowardly to shoot themselves would be the losers. The ones who persisted to the end were the winners.

But based on Jace’s current stance, he obviously wouldn’t play this deadly game with Lucas.

“My rules are simple. Don’t you want to save your father-in-law? Play this game then!”

“I have a revolver and a bullet here. You and your father-in-law will take turns shooting yourselves until one of you gets shot and dies!

“Of course, your father-in-law is now in my hands, so you’ll have to shoot him on his behalf!

“Like this, if you end up dying, I’ll let your father-in-law go and won’t trouble him anymore. If he dies, you would have killed your own father-in-law. That would feel great, wouldn’t it?”

After Lucas heard Jace’s rules, his eyes were full of a terrifying desire to kill.

Jace was simply worse than a beast for toying with his and William’s life like this!

“Ah, I’ll be scared if you look at me like that!” Jace mocked.

Looking at Lucas’s terrifying gaze, Jace deliberately laughed sarcastically. “Don’t forget that your father-in-law’s and sister-in-law’s lives are in my hands! If you dare to reject, I’ll make sure they die immediately! Think this through properly!”

Lucas gritted his teeth.

He knew that Jace was fully prepared this time and had come up with a detailed plan to deal with him.

In fact, what Lucas cared most about was his family, namely his wife, Cheyenne; his sister-in-law, Charlotte; his father-in-law, William; and his daughter, Amelia.

So Jace had planned to attack them at the same time once Lucas returned to Orange County.

If Cheyenne wasn’t being protected by an expert like Stanley, who had come from the Falcon Regiment in Calico, even Cheyenne would have fallen into Jace’s hands.

At that time, Lucas would have even more weaknesses and would be even less likely to act rashly.

Besides, it wasn’t the first day that Jace wanted to take revenge against Lucas. Before Lucas went to DC and did anything to the Huttons, Jace had long hated him because Michael had taken the Stardust Corporation away from him and handed it to Lucas. He had even wanted to make Lucas the helmsman of the Huttons. To Jace, this was enough reason to hate Lucas and even want to kill him.

So a long time ago, Jace had already secretly ordered the Kingstons in California to create trouble for Lucas and the Stardust Corporation. At the same time, he found out that Lucas attached great importance to his family and Karen’s immense hatred toward Lucas.

This was why Jace had rescued Karen from prison and gotten her to deal with Lucas. He had even taken advantage of Charlotte’s relationship with her to abduct her.

All of this was part of Jace’s plan. Now that he was in control of two of Lucas’s weaknesses, he wasn’t worried that Lucas would dare not listen to him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Sure enough, under Jace’s threat, Lucas could only grit his teeth and agree. “Russian Roulette, huh? I’ll play this game with you!”

Right now, there was too much holding him back, and he no longer had a choice.

Lucas stepped forward, picked up the revolver from the table, loaded the bullet into one of the slots, and spun the revolver.

“I hope you can keep your promise and release those uninvolved!” Lucas pointed the revolver at his temple and pulled the trigger!
