Scott’s body was drenched in cold sweat.
On the other end of the phone, Marc said, “I don’t care what you do. You must reduce the impact of this matter to the minimum in the shortest possible time! Make sure all the videos and news are deleted, and don’t get the entire Stardust Corporation involved again. Do you hear me? Otherwise, don’t come begging me to save you when the Huttons come!”
With that, Marc hung up.
Scott sat on the ground in a daze, panic written all over his face.
He initially thought that his method was extremely lethal to Lucas and would meet Marc’s requirements as soon as possible. So he had used all his resources to spread this matter like wildfire.
But he didn’t expect his plan to bootlick Marc by getting the matter done fast to backfire and result in the opposite effect.
Moreover, public opinion was spiraling out of control, and even if he wanted to withdraw his plan now, it would be extremely difficult.
“Damn it!” Scott clenched his fist tightly and punched the table with all his might.
Bang!
Suddenly, the sound of an explosion filled the air outside the gates of his villa.
“F*ck! What happened outside?” Scott hollered in exasperation.
Two of his subordinates hurried in from outside and reported, “Bad news, Mr. Taylor. A man suddenly barged in and even rammed his car through the gates of the villa!”
These words angered Scott further. “Damn it! I’m in a foul mood now. Who has the audacity to barge into my house? Come on! Let’s go outside to take a look!”
They rushed out of the villa, only to see a black Jaguar parked in the yard in front of them.
The door of the car opened, and a tall figure slowly stepped out of it.
With his appearance, the temperature in the entire yard seemed to plunge by several degrees.
“Lucas Gray, it’s you?!” Scott bellowed through gritted teeth.
It wasn’t the first time he met Lucas.
In fact, he initially didn’t have anything to do with Lucas. Previously, Marc had called him to say that he had taken a liking to Lucas’s Pearl Lake villa, which the Taylors had developed, and instructed Scott to acquire it for him.
At the time, Lucas had already paid for the villa at the center of Pearl Lake. Although Scott was aware of it, he nevertheless tried to forcefully take it from Lucas to give to Marc.
This was why Scott got into a conflict with Lucas and even bore hatred for him.
Scott was more than happy to accept the task given by Marc to deal with Lucas and his company. In fact, he even felt a great sense of satisfaction when he insulted Karen yesterday.
Oh, Lucas Gray, weren’t you really cocky in front of me? Your mother-in-law is just a dog that wails underneath me!
Now, Scott watched as Lucas walked straight in with a hostile expression. He immediately realized that Lucas had probably investigated and found out about Karen’s current situation and was here to question him.
But he naturally wouldn’t dare to admit to it.
Scott looked at the ten-odd bodyguards beside him. Feeling a sense of security, he glowered and shouted at Lucas, “Lucas Gray, you punk, you’re really bold. How dare you barge into my villa? Since you’ve rammed through my gates, I won’t let you leave easily!”
“Where’s Karen Turner?” Lucas cut straight to the chase without wasting his breath.
Scott mocked, “Who? What Karen? I don’t know who you’re talking about! You’re still so arrogant, huh? Don’t forget that you’re now on my territory. You’d better mind your manners when you’re speaking to me!”
Lucas ignored the bodyguards who stepped forward and simply said coldly, “I’ll ask you one last time. Where is Karen Turner? Tell me, and I’ll spare your life. Otherwise, you will die!”
Lucas narrowed his eyes, and his aura became even more imposing.
Scott was frightened and subconsciously cowered a little.
But he soon thought, This is my turf. With so many bodyguards around me, I won’t be beaten up like I was at the Pearl Lake villa.
“Punk, you’re really arrogant. I’ll let you know the consequences of being arrogant!”
Then he beckoned the bodyguards around him. “Go!”
But as soon as he issued his command, Lucas suddenly vanished from sight!
The next instant, Lucas suddenly appeared half a meter in front of Scott.
Scott was greatly taken aback and completely caught off guard, so much so that he couldn’t even react in time before he took a strong blow in his stomach and was sent flying backward!
Bang!
Bang!
The first sound was from Scott’s chubby body hitting the villa door behind him, slamming the sturdy stainless steel carved door wide open.
The second sound was the sound of Scott’s body hurtling through the living room before slamming hard against the wall.
The distance between the two positions was almost ten meters, and Scott’s body came to a halt only when he rammed into the wall.
The violent impact made him scream in pain. While falling to the ground, he opened his mouth, and blood gushed out.
The bodyguards didn’t process what was going on until Scott began vomiting blood on the floor. Their expressions changed drastically as they glared at Lucas.
Scott’s internal organs were almost displaced by Lucas’s kick. After struggling greatly to get up from the floor, he shouted, “Kill… kill this bastard! I want him dead right now!”
The ten or so bodyguards immediately charged toward Lucas.
Lucas didn’t even bother glancing at them and simply walked toward Scott at the back of the living room as if no one else was around.
“Go to hell!” A bodyguard swung his fist fiercely at Lucas.
Lucas merely raised his hand to block the fist before folding it effortlessly, instantly breaking the bodyguard’s wrist.
“Ahhh!” The bodyguard cried out in pain.
After holding the bodyguard’s fist, Lucas pushed him back five meters. He was in so much pain that he had already broken out in cold sweat and lost his power to fight.
Seeing this, the other bodyguards started being more cautious when attacking Lucas.
But no matter how hard they tried, all their moves were futile in front of Lucas. They were all like preschool children being beaten up by an adult, their strengths worlds apart.
Lucas knocked down the more than ten bodyguards one after another. During this process, not only did he not have the slightest change of expression, but there was no change in the rhythm of his gait as he walked forward!
At this moment, Lucas was just a terrifying killer to Scott!
There was finally some horror in Scott’s eyes.
In particular, when he watched Lucas approaching him one step at a time, he began shuddering. “Lu-Lucas Gray, I’m a direct descendant of the Taylor family. If you dare to lay a finger on me, the Taylors definitely won’t let you off… Ahhhh!”
Before Scott even finished issuing his threats, Lucas took a step forward and stomped on his chest.
“I don’t have much patience. I’m asking you one last time. Where is Karen Turner?”
Lucas’s eyes were brimming with icy cold murderous intent.
