The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 524 – Kill to Silence

Chapter 524: Kill to Silence

The kick Bald Lee had just thrown at Skylar caused her to suffer a severe injury.

She raised her hand and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth while still struggling to stand up and chase after Karen.

But they were driving and vanished without a trace in no time. Even if she restarted her car to catch up now, it would definitely be too late.

Damn it! Skylar slammed her fist hard against the hood of the car with bloodshot eyes.

It was the first mission Lucas had given her, yet she actually failed… She was really indignant!

Screech!

At this moment, a black Jaguar car sped from the depths of the darkness of the night and pulled over beside Skylar. The next moment, Lucas appeared in front of Skylar.

Immediately upon seeing Lucas, Skylar quickly lowered her head and half-knelt down in front of him to seek forgiveness. “I’m sorry, Lucas. It’s all my fault for being too incompetent to stop them!”

When Lucas saw her covered in blood and dirt, he immediately frowned and helped her up. “Are you alright? Did you get hurt?”

A look of surprise quickly appeared in Skylar’s eyes.

When she was in the Peerless Martial Association, everyone would only care about whether she had completed the mission or not. No one had ever cared if she had been injured or not. The first reaction Lucas had was not to berate her for failing her mission but to show her concern and ask if she was hurt. It was a fresh yet touching experience for her.

“I’m fine. I just got kicked… cough! There are no other problems,” Skylar answered, barely able to conceal her agitation.

Lucas scanned the surroundings and found the obvious traces of a fight on the ground. There were bloodstains and even some severed limbs. In addition, the Nissan had been smashed up. The two martial arts experts of the Hales were also lying on the ground, covered in blood.

Lucas checked their condition and found that both of them were still alive, but their bodies were battered with wounds. Clearly, they were severely injured.

It was enough to show how intense the fight had been.

It wasn’t that surprising since there were only three of them, while the other side had more than ten people. The disparity in manpower and strength was too much.

At this moment, a few more cars dashed over. They were the reinforcements Bruce Hale personally brought over with him.

But when he saw how gloomy Lucas, as well as the traces of a violent fight around him, he immediately understood that they were too late.

“Mr. Gray…” Bruce Hale called out cautiously, not daring to say anything more.

Lucas ignored him and didn’t blame him for being late. Instead, he asked Skylar, “Do you know who did it?”

Skylar replied, “The leader called himself Bald Lee. As his nickname suggests, he’s bald, and he’s very burly too. He brought more than ten people with him and took Karen Turner away.”

“Bald Lee?!” Bruce seemed a little astonished as soon as he heard this name.

Seeing Lucas and Skylar both looking at him, Bruce didn’t beat around the bush. “He’s a notorious gangster in Orange County who’s famed for using swords. He’s been using swords for more than two decades and is superb at using them. But he doesn’t belong to any family and simply accepts money to work for others like a mercenary.”

Lucas said coldly, “In that case, find him immediately! I want to see who had the audacity to snatch someone away from me!”

An intimidating aura emerged from his body as his eyes flashed with cold light.

“Yes!” Bruce didn’t dare to look at Lucas more than once and immediately agreed as a thin layer of cold sweat seeped out on his forehead.

Now that Lucas was enraged, Bald Lee and the person who had instigated him would surely have a hard time!

The Hales acted quickly. Before Bruce returned to Orange County, the order to search the county for Bald Lee’s whereabouts had already spread throughout the family.

But at this moment, the target of the search, Bald Lee, was limping painstakingly with an injured foot while escorting Karen to the Taylors.

In the middle of the hall, Bald Lee threw the frightened Karen directly on the floor and said to Scott, who was sitting on the couch, “Mr. Taylor, I’ve brought this woman to you as you’ve instructed. I even got injured!”

He grinned and even deliberately revealed some bloodstains on his body and the swollen sole of his foot.

Scott exclaimed exaggeratedly, pretending to be shocked. “They actually injured you. That must have been tough!”

Bald Lee nodded. “Indeed. I met my match today. She was so difficult to deal with. Not only was I injured, but my underlings were too. Some of them have severed limbs, and it’s over for them now. Since I’m their boss, I must compensate them in some way. So, Mr. Taylor, what do you think?”

Scott sneered in his heart, but he was still smiling. “Of course. How can I let you suffer a disadvantage? How about this? We originally agreed on a remuneration of four hundred thousand. How about I give you a million? What do you think?”

Bald Lee was immediately overjoyed, and he grinned widely. “Thank you so much, Mr. Taylor!”

In fact, he had lost a bit today. He had initially thought that it would be easy for him to deal with a random defenseless woman, so when Scott offered him $400,000, he had felt like it was a godsend and accepted it immediately.

But now, Skylar had injured his subordinates and severed their limbs, so the compensation definitely wasn’t a small sum.

This was why Bald Lee wanted to increase the amount.

But he didn’t expect Scott to more than double the remuneration without saying much at all.

Scott handed a check to Bald Lee. “This is a check for a million dollars. Thank you and your brothers!”

Bald Lee grabbed the check and laughed out loud. “No problem, no problem! Mr. Taylor, if you ever need help with something like this again, feel free to come to me! I’ll definitely help you!”

“Haha, great. I’ll call you again next time!” Scott also responded with a big grin.

After the two finished handing over Karen and the money, Bald Lee turned around and walked toward the villa entrance.

But just as he turned around, a hole appeared in his heart with a loud bang, and blood immediately gushed out of it along with a bullet!

Bald Lee widened his mouth in disbelief and turned around with difficulty. “Why… W-why did you…?”

Scott raised his eyebrows and said with a smug smile, “Of course, it’s to… silence you! Don’t you do such things all the time? Why? Have you forgotten how things are now that it’s your turn?”

Bald Lee had a trace of remorse in his eyes, but it was all too late!

The light in his eye dimmed as he fell to the ground with a muffled thud.

Scott looked at his corpse without blinking and instructed the person next to him, “Drag the corpse out and dispose of it!”

“Yes!” Two men immediately came over and carried Bald Lee’s corpse out of the house, leaving a bright red trail of blood on the floor.

Karen had long been so frightened that she almost passed out!

Although she had tried to kill William, she had never witnessed such bloody scenes before!

More importantly, what was she about to face?

She huddled up in a ball, wishing she could vanish from Scott’s sight.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go her way, and Scott was already holding the pistol in his hand while looking at Karen. “Next, it’s time to deal with you!”
