Bang!
Lucas pulled the trigger resolutely, but this time, there was no bullet in the slot. Lucas was still standing safe and sound.
“Oh, looks like you got lucky this time! But there are six slots and only one bullet in this revolver. In other words, the chance of being shot is one in six. You’re lucky this time!
“But like I said, this game won’t end until either you or your father-in-law dies. Now it’s your turn to shoot your father-in-law. Let’s hope he can be as lucky as you!
“To be honest, I wish this game could last a little longer so that I can enjoy myself!
!!
“I want to see how you’ll feel if you really shoot your father-in-law dead. I want to see how your wife and sister-in-law will perceive you after you kill their father.
“Hahaha, just thinking about it makes me excited! Lucas Gray, don’t disappoint me!”
Jace spoke maliciously with a twisted grimace.
Lucas looked at him expressionlessly before turning the cylinder of the revolver. When it stopped, Lucas raised it and shot William.
Bang!
This time, it was an empty slot again.
William, who was hanging on the windowsill, was greatly relieved to hear the sound of an empty shot. He opened his tightly shut eyes.
He had seen everything that had happened just now.
He knew very well that Lucas shot him because he had no choice. Moreover, he actually wished that Lucas would just ignore him and leave to save Charlotte.
But Jace had deliberately set this up to watch Lucas suffer and looked forward to how he would feel after he shot his father-in-law dead with his own hands. He would never let Lucas leave.
After the empty shot, Jace smiled. “Seems like you two didn’t die fast! That’s exactly what I want! But now that you’ve made two empty shots, the chance of there being a bullet has increased. One of you is about to be shot in the head soon! You have to watch out!” Jace said excitedly.
Lucas looked at him and suddenly said, “Jace, I’ve just realized how cowardly you are.”
His words immediately caused cracks to appear in Jace’s relaxed and comfortable expression. “What did you say? Try saying it again!”
Lucas said with a faint smile, “Am I not right? You’ve always wanted to deal with me, but you don’t even have the guts to fight me head-on. All you dare to do is harm my loved ones and use them against me.
“Moreover, you were raised by the Huttons, one of the top eight families in DC, and you have stronger connections and manpower than a loner like me, who depended entirely on myself. But even then, you don’t dare to stand in front of me and fight me open and aboveboard. All you dare to do is resort to lowly tricks!
“Aren’t you a coward?
“Haha, Jace Hutton, I really look down on you. No wonder you were easily removed from your position as successor!”
Lucas deliberately struck his sore spot.
Jace’s expression gradually turned gloomy, especially when Lucas mentioned that he had lost his position as successor. He was completely enraged.
“Shut up! You bastard, you should know best how I lost my position as successor! It’s all your fault! If it wasn’t because of you, how could I have lost my position?!” Jace hollered with reddened eyes.
Lucas sneered. “I just used some little tricks, and you lost your position as successor. Doesn’t that mean that you’re inferior to me?”
Infuriated, Jace roared, “Lucas Gray! Don’t try to play mind games in front of me. No matter what you say, you have to remember that I’m the butcher and you’re at my mercy! Yours and your family’s lives are now in my hands! You’re the loser! What do you have to say now?”
Lucas said coldly, “Did you get this with your own abilities? If you didn’t use such despicable means and threaten me with hostages, do you think you’d be a match for me? You don’t dare to fight me head on because you know that be it in terms of martial arts or anything else, you’re no match for me at all!”
Jace was so angered by what Lucas said that he was on the verge of losing his mind. But the moment he was about to let anger get the better of him, he saw William hanging from the windowsill, and the anger within him was immediately replaced by smugness and contempt.
“Hmph, you can say whatever you want. Anyway, the fact now is that I’ve already captured your people, and you have no choice but to stand in front of me obediently and do whatever I tell you to do!
“You can only blame it on yourself for being too stupid!
“You did so much in DC and made me lose my position as successor. You even helped an illegitimate son take my place. Do you think I’d still let you off? From that day on, you should have already thought of this outcome!
“Yes, I admit my methods are despicable, but it doesn’t matter as long as they work! The result now is that I’m the victor and you’re just a dog!”
Hmph, so what if Lucas Gray won that match? I’m the final winner!
As long as this eyesore is dead, I’ll go back to DC and deal with Roman. One day, I’ll regain the position of the Huttons’ successor!
But Lucas Gray must die!
In fact, Jace’s thoughts did make sense.
As long as he was the final winner, it didn’t matter to him whether his methods were despicable tricks or not.
At the same time, Lucas had indeed been a little too careless.
He had previously arranged for people to protect Cheyenne, Charlotte, and the rest. But later, Lucas had sent Stanley and Jordan to DC because Flynn had been facing many difficulties in the Stardust Corporation headquarters. Thus, there were fewer people in Orange County he could trust and dispatch.
Besides, he hadn’t expected Jace would be so despicable as to deal with his family. Due to his negligence, Jace had succeeded in capturing Charlotte and William.
Jace mocked, “Lucas Gray, if your father-in-law and sister-in-law die today, it’ll all be your fault! You’d better remember this!”
Lucas nodded calmly. “Indeed, this was caused by my negligence. But remember this. You should know clearly that I won’t let you off for doing this!
“Just a few minutes ago, your father begged me to spare your life, but now, it seems it isn’t necessary at all!”
