Chapter 261: The Person Who Sneakily Took Photos

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The young man, who seemed to be a famous paparazzi in the county, scurried away quickly. But after covering only a short distance, he discovered that a tall and phantom-like figure had appeared in front of him to block him from leaving.
“Still trying to run, huh?”
The young man was flabbergasted because the person in front of him was the same person he had been secretly snapping photos of!
A few seconds ago, this person was clearly more than ten meters behind him, yet he was standing in front of him in the blink of an eye. How did he do it?!
Having been discovered and even stopped by the person he was secretly snapping photos of, the young man got a little nervous and gritted his teeth. He then barked in a menacing voice, “Why are you stopping me? Get lost!”
Lucas sneered and pointed at the camera the young man was holding. He asked indifferently, “You’ve been tailing me all afternoon, so you must have taken a lot of pictures, right? Did you think no one could discover you when you’re so clumsy?”
Knowing that he had done something wrong, the young man gripped onto his camera tightly and argued, “What nonsense are you saying? Who tailed you and sneakily took pictures of you? I was just taking pictures of the scenery in the amusement park! There’s no rule against taking pictures here. You’re poking your nose too far into someone else’s business!”
“Is that so? Let me see your camera then.” Lucas reached out to grab the camera in the young man’s hand.
While trying to hide the camera behind him, the young man yelled loudly, “Damn it! Are you trying to rob me in broad daylight?”
Many tourists nearby, who were unaware of the truth, immediately looked over.
The young man was hoping to attract the attention of the passersby by yelling loudly and get them to come over so that Lucas wouldn’t be able to snatch the camera from him.
But he didn’t expect Lucas to ignore his yelling. Besides, as an ordinary person, he obviously couldn’t stop Lucas, who had excellent reflexes.
The next second, Lucas had already gotten hold of the camera.
“Hurry up and give it back to me! Or else I’ll call the police!” With a look of horror and panic, the young man whipped out his phone and threatened Lucas.
“Go ahead and call the police, as long as you’re not afraid of being arrested yourself,” Lucas was not scared at all, and his indifferent words immediately made the young man freeze on the spot.
The young man clearly knew what he had done. If the police got involved, he would be the one in trouble!
Soon, Lucas opened the man’s camera and saw the pictures he had secretly snapped.
In almost every picture, Lucas and Charlotte were photographed on the various rides of the amusement park, with Charlotte looking up at Lucas gleefully most of the time. There were also many photos of them walking side by side.
There were at least 200 photos in the camera, all of which were taken soon after they entered the amusement park until they were about to leave just now.
Apart from some blurry and out-of-focus shots, the angles they were photographed from were just right. If an outsider didn’t know how they were related and saw these photos, they would definitely think that he and Charlotte were a couple in love.
“That’s mine. Quickly return it to me!” the young man hollered but lacked confidence.
The gaze in Lucas’s eyes was icy cold, and a mere glance from him caused the young man to shudder in fear and not dare to continue speaking.
He had spent the entire afternoon secretly taking photos of Lucas, who had been kind and gentlemanly toward Charlotte. But after the brief eye contact made with Lucas, the young man was overwhelmed with immense fear as he felt as if he was facing a terrifying and menacing beast!
The young man realized that he had very likely provoked a big shot he couldn’t afford to offend!
But since he had already done so, it was too late to regret it!
“Tell me who sent you to come take photos of us secretly?” Lucas asked indifferently while tossing the camera up and down in his hand twice.
“No one! I-I’m a photographer, and I was just taking some random photos of the amusement park! Quick, return the camera to me!” The young man refused to admit he had been taking photos of Lucas without permission.
Lucas sneered, pulled out the camera’s memory card, and crushed it into pieces in front of the young man.
“Ah! My memory card!” The young man immediately shrieked and wailed. The memory card being destroyed meant that the hundreds of photos stored inside were all gone! The photos he had taken after painstakingly spending most of the day finding the best angles to shoot from while hiding in trees and bushes were all gone!
“Compensate me for it! Compensate me!” The young man flew into a rage and charged toward Lucas while waving his fists to try and punch him.
But an ordinary person like him, who had never trained in martial arts before, was just like a weak chicken in front of Lucas. Lucas turned around to dodge and kicked him at the bend of his legs. He barely applied any force, but he managed to send the young man flying far and falling hard onto the ground.
“You… you snatched my camera and even attacked me! I must call the police to arrest you!” Since the memory card had been ruined, and all the photographic evidence was destroyed, the young man had nothing to worry about anymore. While lying on the ground, he started cursing loudly.
Lucas sneered and walked over. Standing in front of the young man and looking down at him from above, he demanded, “Drop the pretense. Speak up. Who instigated you to take photos of us without permission? If you don’t tell me, I’ll make sure you can never be a photographer again!”
He raised a foot and stepped on the young man’s right wrist. As long as he applied a little more force, his wrist would be crushed, and he would never be able to hold a camera again.
At first, the young man thought that Lucas was just boasting and trying to scare him, so he continued to curse while lying on the ground. Only when Lucas stepped harder on his wrist did he feel the sharp pain that made him feel overwhelmed with fear.
This person in front of him might really cripple his right hand!
At the thought of this, the young man broke out in cold sweat while his face turned pale. Without consideration for anything else, he frantically yelled, “I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you! Shortly after I had lunch, someone found the contact number of my photography studio and asked me to help take pictures of his wife and his wife’s adulterous lover. He claimed that he wanted to collect evidence to sue you two for adultery! He gave me three thousand dollars and even promised to give me another fifteen thousand once he got the photos! That’s all I know!”
Fearing that Lucas would really crush his wrist in a fit of anger, the young man spilled the beans and came clean about everything in a single breath.
When Lucas heard the words ‘wife’ and ‘adultery’, his face became even more gloomy. He continued to probe, “Who’s the person who looked for you?”
On the brink of tears, the young man said, “I have no idea. He sent me a text message and was very quick to transfer the deposit of three thousand, so I trusted that he would fulfill his promise and came here to take photos of you two. As for the rest, I really have no idea!”
Afraid that Lucas wouldn’t believe him, the young man hurriedly pulled out his phone and showed Lucas the chat history and transfer record.
“Look, I’m telling the truth. I’m not lying to you!” the young man exclaimed pitifully.
Lucas noted down the number of the person who had sent the young man the message and finally moved his foot away from the latter’s wrist while dumping his camera onto the ground. “I’ll let you off this time. But if you dare to do something like this again, the consequences will be heavier than this.”
“I won’t dare to! I won’t dare to do it again! Thank you, sir!” The young man hurriedly picked up the camera and scrambled away in a panic as if he had received a pardon.
Meanwhile, Lucas took out his phone and called someone. After informing the person of the phone number, he said, “Find out who owns this number!”
