Chapter 826: Who Is More Despicable?
“Wh-what do you want to do?” Oscar immediately became anxious, and his hair stood on end as he watched Lucas approach him one step at a time.
Lucas wouldn’t pay attention to him. He was getting closer and closer to Oscar.
“Stop! Stop right there. Don’t come any closer!” Oscar yelled frantically.
He screamed, “Invincible Phantom Hands, quickly stop him!”
Invincible Phantom Hands was utterly unwilling to confront Lucas, but protecting Oscar was his duty. Now that Charlie, the Smiths’ butler, was present too, he could only bite the bullet and move forward to try and stop Lucas.
“If you dare to make a move, I won’t spare your life again.” Lucas glanced at Invincible Phantom Hands coldly.
Invincible Phantom Hands immediately stopped.
After yesterday’s encounter with Lucas, he already knew how powerful Lucas was. He would have no problem killing him.
Between completing his mission and staying alive, his life was naturally more important.
Invincible Phantom Hands stood still without moving and helplessly watched as Lucas walked toward Oscar.
“Good-for-nothing!” Oscar scolded angrily. But no matter how he cursed at Invincible Phantom Hands, it was pointless because the most important thing now was to save himself from Lucas!

“Charlie! Charlie, quickly think of a solution! Save me!” Oscar yelled at Charlie anxiously.
Charlie was a very important and special existence in the Smith family. Thanks to Charlie’s intelligence and wit, Tyson had become the helmsman of the Smiths. Thus, Tyson regarded Charlie highly, and Oscar and the younger generation also relied on him.
Now, Invincible Phantom Hands was frightened by Lucas’s words and was of no use to Oscar at all. The only life-saving straw Oscar could clutch at was Charlie.
With a gloomy expression on his face, Charlie stood up and threatened, “Lucas Gray, stop! If you dare to touch him, the Smiths will definitely...”
But before he finished speaking, the threatening look on his face was replaced by fear.
Lucas had already walked straight up to Oscar and squeezed his neck with one hand.
Lucas’s long, slender, and powerful fingers were wrapped tightly around Oscar’s neck. Given how he could easily break the wrist of that Smith executive, he could easily twist Oscar’s neck and break it!
Everyone in the meeting hall was dumbfounded as they watched the scene in front of them in utter horror!
Is... is he going to kill Oscar Smith in public?
Does he really not care about the Smiths’ threat at all?
“Lucas Gray, quickly let go of him! Otherwise, I won’t be polite!” Charlie screamed hysterically with cold sweat all over his face.
As he yelled, the door of the meeting room opened, and several armed bodyguards immediately dashed in and aimed their pistols at Lucas.

According to Charlie’s arrangements, they had already been hiding in the small room next to the meeting hall early in the morning, waiting for Lucas to come over.
Once they fell out and broke into a conflict, the bodyguards would appear and force Lucas to obey them with their guns. Otherwise, they would kill him on the spot.
But there would always be unexpected changes in life. Everyone, including Charlie, didn’t expect Lucas to behave so unreasonably as to walk straight to Oscar and grab his neck.
This put them in a passive position. The gunmen squad lurking next door could only immediately appear to deter Lucas.
“Lucas Gray, I advise you to let go of Mr. Oscar immediately! Otherwise, these bodyguards will definitely fill you with holes!” Charlie shouted with immense murderous intent in his eyes.
Originally, he had wanted to rope Lucas in for his own use so that he could not only take control of California and Oregon from Lucas’s hands but also give the Smiths another powerhouse.
But Charlie now knew that Lucas was an untamable falcon. Since he couldn’t get Lucas to help the Smiths, he could only destroy him, lest he became the Smiths’ enemy!

Facing the seven pistol muzzles in front of him, Lucas kept a straight face.
He was still holding Oscar’s neck tightly in his hand as he drawled, “If you don’t want him to live, go ahead and shoot.”
Charlie’s expression changed instantly.
He didn’t expect that Lucas could remain calm under the threat of so many pistols.
But his life was still in Lucas’s hands, so he didn’t dare to disobey him at all.
Oscar was Tyson’s only biological son. If he died here, Charlie wouldn’t be able to absolve himself of the blame!
“You... You’re actually holding him hostage. How despicable!” Charlie didn’t dare to order the gunmen to shoot, so he could only shout and curse at Lucas.
“Hah, the Smiths hid so many gunmen just to deal with me. Isn’t that despicable?” Lucas sneered and tightened his grip on Oscar’s neck, causing his eyes to roll backward.
“You... What do you want? As long as you let go of Mr. Oscar, you can name any condition. I will agree as long as it’s within my means!” Charlie gave in to Lucas with nervousness written all over his face.
He was really afraid that Lucas would strangle Oscar to death.
Oscar was scared to death. He was ashen, and cold sweat was pouring out from all over his body. It was as if he had been fished out of water.
The sweat slid down Oscar’s swollen face and touched Lucas’s hand.
“Tsk!” With a look of disgust, Lucas suddenly let go and pushed Oscar away.
A look of immense joy appeared on Charlie’s face. He thought that what he said had tempted Lucas, so he had let go of Oscar’s neck.
Charlie had a wicked and smug joy in his eyes. Lucas Gray is an idiot. If he still held Oscar hostage, I would be scrupulous and not dare to shoot. But now that he’s let go of Oscar, it means that it’s time for him to die!
“Do it now! Shoot him!” Charlie suddenly hollered.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
...
With his command, the surrounding gunmen immediately shot Lucas without hesitation. Sparks emerged from the muzzle of the gun.
It was almost impossible to escape from such intense gunfire!
But to everyone’s surprise, the moment the gunshots sounded, Lucas instantly vanished from where he was standing!
