Franco’s muscles naturally looked extremely terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people, who would be intimidated by them once he bared his body. But they were meaningless in the eyes of top combat experts like Lucas.
“Since you refuse to cripple your own limbs, I’ll have to give you a hand!”
Lucas sneered and charged toward Franco like a bolt of lightning. Soon, he grabbed Franco’s right wrist.
Franco’s pupils constricted violently, and he subconsciously wanted to grab Lucas’s neck with his left hand.
But when he raised his left hand a little, he felt an abrupt and excruciating pain in his right wrist!
Snap!
With a crisp sound of bones cracking, Lucas instantly broke his wrist!
“Ah! My wrist!” Franco shrieked miserably. Now that he was facing Lucas, he finally experienced extreme horror.
Beads of cold sweat emerged on his face as he hurriedly said, “I... I work for the Taylors! If you dare to touch me again...”
Snap!
Crack!
Snap!
Before Franco could even finish speaking, a series of the sounds of bones cracking rang out. Lucas had completely broken his other wrist and both ankles!
“Ah!” Franco let out an extremely sharp and painful shriek that didn’t sound like it came from a human. It almost resounded throughout the entire large warehouse.
Everyone couldn’t help shivering when they heard it, and they looked at Lucas with their eyes full of horror.
Most of Franco’s underlings had only one arm or leg broken by Lucas, but they were already rolling on the ground and wailing in pain. When they saw Franco rip his tank top off, they thought that he would teach Lucas a lesson.
But to their astonishment, Franco actually ended up in a state worse than theirs, as he had all four of his limbs broken and was rendered immobile!
Because Franco had slapped William and kicked him, Lucas decided to break all of Franco’s limbs. It was absolutely terrifying!
He was even more brutal than them!
All of a sudden, all the gangsters wailing on the ground immediately shut up, not daring to groan in pain anymore, fearing that they might provoke Lucas and end up being dealt with harshly.
If they had known there was such a terrifying man here, they would have never dared to hit those security guards!
At this time, Lucas could no longer be bothered to pay attention to them. He turned around and said to Louis, “Immediately get some people to send all the injured security guards to the hospital. In addition, quickly arrange for the workers to continue loading the goods and dispatching the cargo!”
Only then did Louis come back to his senses and realize that the matter had been resolved. He hurriedly nodded and ran off to make the arrangements.
Lucas glanced at Franco, who was lying on the ground motionlessly, and then made a call to someone.
The call was soon answered, and the person who answered it spoke in a tone of surprise. “Hello, Mr. Gray, are you suddenly calling me because you’re planning to return the Ocean Bathhouse to me?”
The person who answered the call was naturally Preston Taylor.
The Ocean Bathhouse was the foundation that the Taylors had built their wealth on and the place where they ran an illegal social escort business. Thus, it was extremely important to the Taylors. But due to a freak combination of factors, Lucas had managed to acquire it.
Lucas originally intended to use the Ocean Bathhouse to strike a deal with Preston in exchange for the secret of the illegal business. Unfortunately, Preston didn’t know much about it and couldn’t satisfy Lucas’s requests. So he had no choice but to wait until Preston managed to get into contact with the mysterious organization that supplied the beautiful women to the Taylors.
Preston had been stressed and incredibly worried during this period of time. While fearing that his family would find out about the Ocean Bathhouse being sold to someone else, he was also anxiously waiting for news from the mysterious organization. But there still hadn’t been an outcome yet, so he was truly overwhelmed with anxiety.
Upon receiving a call from Lucas, the first thing that came to Preston’s mind was that Lucas changed his mind and decided to return the Ocean Bathhouse to him!
But he was destined to be disappointed because the first thing Lucas said over the phone was, “Is Franco your lackey?”
Louis had told him just now that Franco was in charge of Snowflake Entertainment, which belonged to the Taylors. Previously, Preston had brought Lucas to Snowflake Entertainment to negotiate a deal and even tried to exchange Snowflake Entertainment for the Ocean Bathhouse.
Preston was stunned for a moment. But when he heard the hostility in Lucas’s tone, he hurriedly said, “Yes, he... he does work for me. What’s the matter? Did that idiot offend you?”
“Come to the Solar Corporation’s warehouse on the outskirts of the county immediately!” Then Lucas hung up.
Holding onto his phone, Preston pondered about it and soon turned red with fury. He kicked the potted plant beside him and roared, “Charlie Franco, you bastard! You must have created trouble for me again!”
Preston was hopping mad. He was worried sick that Lucas wouldn’t return the Ocean Bathhouse to him, so he had been trying his best to improve his relationship with Lucas. But he didn’t expect Franco, his subordinate, to offend Lucas!
Furthermore, the fact that Lucas asked directly if Franco was his lackey just went to show that Franco had offended Lucas badly!
While cursing furiously in his head, Preston didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly drove to the address of the warehouse that Lucas had given him.
Meanwhile, William was also driving very quickly, and he managed to reach the residential estate where Adrian claimed he was in just a little over ten minutes, though the journey would usually take more than twenty minutes.
William didn’t know exactly which building Adrian lived in, so he could only call Adrian when he was at the entrance.
The phone rang for a long time before Adrian picked up. Trying his best to stay calm, William asked, “Adrian Hill, I’ve already reached the entrance of the residential estate you live in. Can you come out now?”
Adrian chuckled. “William Carter, you’re too slow. I lost my patience while waiting for you and got really hungry, so I’m now eating at a restaurant outside the Ocean International Building! Drive here and pick me up immediately. Don’t take too long, or you might miss me again!”
With that, he hung up again.
William’s face was extremely sullen.
He had already rushed over as quickly as he could, and he managed to arrive in less than twenty minutes. But the Ocean International Building where Adrian said he was at was more than ten kilometers away from where William was now, and it would definitely take him more than ten minutes to get there.
There were only two possibilities. One was that Adrian lied about being at home and had deliberately made William drive to his residence to pick him up. The other was that Adrian was likewise fooling him by claiming that he was having a meal at the Ocean International Building!
William felt extremely frustrated as he clenched his jaw. To confirm with Adrian his exact location, William called him again several times, but Adrian refused to pick up.
“Damn it!” Incredibly exasperated, William slammed his fist against the seat of his car!
