Chapter 532: Why Should I Spare You?
Scott was almost frightened to the point of peeing in his pants when he saw the murderous gaze in Lucas’s eyes.
As a scion of the Taylor family, he had done countless horrible things such as torturous interrogations and murder. For instance, he had scared Karen to the point of peeing her pants by holding her at gunpoint. She had been so terrified that she obediently succumbed to becoming a shameless and cheap dog in front of him.
But now that it was his turn under Lucas’s coercion, he finally realized how terrifying this feeling was!
He initially thought that it would be possible for him to take down Lucas with his ten or so bodyguards because they were all elites the Taylors had spent a huge sum to hire. It was completely possible for a single bodyguard to beat up around ten ordinary people without any problem.
But he never expected that Lucas had merely walked over casually and effortlessly defeated all his bodyguards.
It was simply inhumane strength!
In particular, since Lucas had spent several years in the army, experiencing many near-death situations and killing countless enemies, people like Scott, who only knew to use their power to coerce others, naturally couldn’t resist Lucas’s terrifying pressure.
Scott’s body was now drenched in cold sweat, and he immediately wanted to tell Lucas everything the latter wanted to know in hopes of being spared.
But when he thought about how Marc definitely wouldn’t spare him if he really talked, he was overwhelmed with fear again.
“I… I really don’t know…” Scott was on the verge of bursting into tears.
Lucas was a formidable killer he couldn’t afford to offend, but Marc was also a terrifying psychopath. If Marc found out that he had spilled the beans, he would definitely skin Scott alive!
“Since you don’t want to speak up, die!” Lucas looked down coldly at him from above and stepped even harder on his chest.
“Ahh!” Scott immediately howled in pain.
He felt his ribs and internal organs creaking under an irresistible force and pain surging from the depths of his body. The air in his alveolar and trachea was squeezed out, making him open his mouth, but he couldn’t utter a single word at all.
The fear of death made him completely break down.
His tears and mucus flowed out, and he was looking at Lucas with a pleading gaze full of regret.
He truly regretted his actions now!
If he offended Marc, he would just have to face the fear of Marc settling scores with him. But now that he had offended Lucas, he might just die right here on the spot!
Only when Scott’s eyes rolled backward did Lucas move his foot away and shout in a deep voice, “Speak up! Tell me everything you know!”
Scott felt the immense pressure on his chest suddenly disappear and cool air re-enter his trachea. Only now did he feel rescued from death.
He gasped for air and breathed heavily, looking extremely distressed and repulsive with tears and mucus all over his face.
But he couldn’t care less now. As soon as he heard what Lucas said, he immediately said frantically, “I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you everything!
“It was Marc Kingston from San Francisco. He also took Karen Turner away!”
He was terribly frightened and immediately revealed that Marc was the mastermind.
Although he would probably face Marc’s wrath afterward, he felt that was better than being killed right now!
“Marc Kingston,” Lucas murmured, seemingly already expecting it.
Several years ago, the Kingstons had become subordinate to the Huttons from DC. The Huttons were also the instigators behind the various incidents in the past, such as the spread of the news of the Huttons abandoning Lucas, Charlotte and Flynn being slandered for having an affair with each other because of digitally-doctored photos, and Oliver Harvey’s suicide in an attempt to make the Stardust Corporation the target of public criticism.
It could be said that the Kingstons were just lackeys to the Huttons.
Although the Huttons had sent someone to bring Lucas back to DC to take over the Hutton family when he had just returned to Orange County from the Falcon Regiment, it was only the decision of the helmsman.
The other members of the family were definitely not willing to see him, a disowned member they had painstakingly driven out of the family for many years, return to the Hutton family to snatch their authority away.
Although Lucas didn’t intend to go back, the rest of the Huttons didn’t think so, so they just kept thinking about suppressing him outside so that he couldn’t do anything.
“Hah, the Huttons! You people are targeting me, but you actually also want to use the people around me to bring down the Stardust Corporation my mother left to me. Unforgivable!” A frightening killing aura glowed in Lucas’s eyes.
Scott had been staring at Lucas’s face, and when he saw his killing intent, he started shivering uncontrollably.
Lucas looked down at him. “Were you the one who snatched Karen away from my people last night?”
Scott didn’t dare to lie and could only bite the bullet to say, “Yes… but Marc Kingston made me do it! As you know, the Kingstons are one of the wealthiest families in the state, and the Taylors are currently dependent on the Kingstons for many matters. So I… I didn’t dare to disobey him! Please spare me!”
“Did he also instigate you to beat up Karen Turner badly and force her to lie and smear me on the stream?”
Scott’s face was covered in cold sweat, but he didn’t dare to say that it was all his own idea, fearing that Lucas would kill him right away. He gritted his teeth and said, “Yes! All of it is Marc’s idea. He sent me to capture Karen Turner to deal with you!”
Now, he could only try to put all the blame on Marc.
After all, it was Marc’s idea for Scott to abduct Karen to deal with Lucas and his company.
Lucas sneered. “Even if the idea was his, the person who carried everything out was you. What makes you think I will spare you?”
He kicked Scott’s fat body.
Scott shrieked miserably in horror, fearing that Lucas would kill him. He hurriedly said, “No! Y-you can’t kill me! I am a direct descendant of the Taylor family, and my father is the head of the family. If you dare to lay a finger on me, the Taylors will definitely not let you off. The Kingstons won’t take it lying down either!”
At this time, he could only bring up the Taylors and Kingstons in an attempt to deter Lucas.
Since Lucas returned to Orange County, he had heard such words no less than ten times, so he had already gotten sick of them.
What else could these good-for-nothings do except throw their weight around because of their family’s power and authority?
“What can the Taylors and Kingstons do to me?” Lucas sneered imposingly.
Then he shouted at Scott, who was on the ground, “Why did Marc Kingston want to take Karen Turner away? What other instructions did he give you? What other plans do you have? Give me a clear and honest explanation! Otherwise, I will immediately send you to hell!”
