Chapter 74
Lightning’s men all stood in shock and despair.
The two coffins which they had brought were now filled with Scarface and Lightning’s bodies.
If the doors were not locked, all of these underlings would have run out frantically.
Thomas, Jack, and the rest all started to look at Nathan Cross fanatically once more.
Nobody knew who was Lightning anymore. An important figure in the underworld? A man who would turn everyone pale in the Southern underworld?
In front of Nathan, he was mere prey and could be killed anytime.
After his quick and clean kill, Nathan raised both his arms and scanned the crowd around him as he challenged, “Come on! Who else wanted to send me to my death earlier?”
All of the men cringed at this.
A challenge?
What for?
Scarface was killed within a split moment even if he was the number-one fighter under Lightning.
Lightning himself was a warlord in the underworld and he was known for his fighting abilities. He was also killed within the second!
How could we as underlings challenge you?
Lightning’s men immediately dropped their weapons and knelt down one by one. They begged in unison, “Mr. Cross, we were wrong earlier. Please forgive us! We will remember you as a generous man!”
Thomas scoffed, “Now you guys are afraid. What happened to the men that had locked us in, surrounding us in such a fierce manner earlier?”
All of them frowned and begged for mercy again, “We were wrong! We know that now! Please, just let us go!”
Thomas and Jack, as well as the rest of the men, looked towards Nathan and asked courteously, “Sir, how are we going to deal with them?”
If this was a war and an enemy had attacked the North, Nathan would never let them off.
However, this was not the North and it was not wartime. As such, Nathan merely replied casually, “Let them leave with the coffins and the bodies.”
Upon hearing these words, the men acted as though they had just been forgiven for their sins by God. They quickly cleaned up, carried the two coffins, and left dejectedly.
In a soft voice, Thomas urged, “Sir, why did you let them off? If they’d won tonight, surely they would not just let us go!”
Nathan told him calmly, “We’ve already killed their bosses. All of these underlings do not matter.”
“Furthermore, they can bring back the news that Lightning was killed. Once it spreads, everyone will be afraid and no one will dare to disrupt our peaceful days.”
Thomas nodded and bowed his head, “Understood, Sir.”
In Joseph Myers’ mansion, the Smith brothers and Joseph were about to celebrate the deaths of Thomas and Nathan with some champagne.
However, they soon received news that the group of them had walked out of the resort unscathed.
As for Lightning, they heard that he was beaten to death by Nathan after a one-to-one challenge.
His men had already brought his body and returned to Alberesque.
All of them looked astonished and in disbelief as they heard the news.
After what had seemed like a long while, Joseph finally spoke. In a frustrated voice, he cursed, “F*** this. I thought that Lightning was capable enough. Seems like he’s just an empty vase.”
“He has so many men! If he used all of them, surely Nathan would have died. However, he chose to challenge him one-to-one and got beaten to death instead. What a retard.”
Samuel Smith let out a wry smile and said, “I heard that Lightning is very good at fighting. I suppose it was an unexpected failure. Well, Nathan was lucky that he could defeat a master with those lousy punches of his.”
