“Hmph, what are you being arrogant about? You’re just a live-in son-in-law. So what if you have an impressive brother? Do you dare to touch me? Moreover, if the Douglases want to kill you, it’ll be a piece of cake!” Gordon hollered.

Jordan rushed forward and slapped Gordon on his lips. “How dare you be so arrogant in front of Lucas? I’m going to hit you!” How dare he threaten Lucas. He must have a death wish!

Gordon was dumbfounded by Jordan’s sudden slap. In the decades of his life, he had never been hit on the face before, especially not by a good-for-nothing’s sidekick!

Gordon was so furious that he wished he could kill the two of them immediately! Unfortunately, the expert he hired had his hand crippled.

“How dare you beat up the future successor of the Douglas family! There’s no need for your family to exist anymore!”

He thought that Lucas would be scrupulous and fearful, but Lucas simply laughed nonchalantly after hearing his words. “Do as you please. But you’re just throwing your weight around because of your family’s prestige. Do you think the Douglas family is a big deal? If your family is destroyed, do you think you’d still have the right to be so arrogant to me?”

“Haha, you want to destroy the Douglas family? You can dream on! Even the richest man in the county wouldn’t dare to say that he could destroy my family, let alone a loser like you!” Gordon looked at Lucas like he was a fool.

Lucas smiled, not wanting to speak anymore.

The Douglas family was insignificant to him.

It was a piece of cake for him to destroy the Douglas family.

Carrying Cheyenne in his arms, Lucas was about to leave when Gordon suddenly pulled out a Bergmann–Bayard automatic pistol and pointed the muzzle at him.

“Like I said, if you dare to leave this place, I will kill you immediately! Put her down! Or else don’t blame me for pulling the trigger!” Gordon shouted, appearing rather hysterical.

His plan for today was to avenge his son by making Lucas watch Cheyenne get violated. Before reaching his goal, he would not let them leave!

Besides, Jordan had just slapped him!

How could he, Gordon Douglas, stand such an insult?!

Now that he had his pistol in hand, he no longer feared anything.

Even if Lucas and Jordan were impressive fighters, they wouldn’t be faster than a bullet.

Lucas was really annoyed at this moment.

Since Cheyenne was safe and sound, he originally planned to let Gordon Douglas off with a light punishment. However, he didn’t expect him to be so ignorant. Since he has a death wish, I won’t be merciful to him!

Lucas glanced at the Bergmann–Bayard automatic pistol that Gordon was holding, but he wasn’t fazed by it at all. “Do you think you can shoot me with that tiny pistol?”

Lucas’s disdainful attitude irritated Gordon even more.

Gordon held up the pistol and said in annoyance, “What are you pretending for? I don’t believe you can dodge a bullet! If you put that woman down and kneel in front of me, I will consider giving you a way out. Otherwise, this pistol will shoot all three of you dead! I’ve been involved with gangs for a long time, so it’s not like I haven’t killed anyone before!”

It was clear that Gordon was threatening him.

Lucas remained unfazed. “If you have what it takes, you can try shooting me. If you can’t kill me, all the members of the Douglas family will die with you!”

Lucas’s tone was brimming with cold killing intent, and the temperature around him abruptly plummeted.

Lucas could not tolerate the fact that Gordon repeatedly tried to violate Cheyenne in front of him.

“Great! I gave you a chance! You’re the one who wants to die!” Gordon gritted his teeth with a menacing expression. He raised the pistol and was about to pull the trigger to shoot Lucas.

“Wait! Don’t shoot!” Wade, the muscular man at the side, suddenly interrupted. He glanced at Lucas with scruples and tried to stop Gordon.

“What? Do you want to betray me? Don’t forget. I paid you to be here, even though you were totally useless!” Gordon barked while glaring at Wade with reddened eyes.

Now, he just wanted to kill Lucas, and whoever stopped him would be his enemy!

“No, you can’t kill him at all! Do you think a gun is invincible? You won’t even hit him. And once you shoot, he won’t let you off. He won’t let me off either. I don’t want to die here!” Wade exclaimed with a frown.

“Hmph, I don’t believe it! You’re a useless good-for-nothing, and he’s just pretending to be powerful, yet you’re so scared. You’re such a coward! Get lost. I must kill him!” Gordon roared furiously.

Wade shook his head regretfully. “Since you insist on ignoring my advice, don’t blame me then.”

Before Wade finished speaking, he suddenly dashed at Gordon and strangled him from behind with his uninjured left hand.

“W-what are you doing!?!” Gordon panicked. He never expected Wade to bite the hand that fed him!

At the same time, both Lucas and Jordan were also a little surprised.

“Like I said, I just want to live. If you had shot, they definitely wouldn’t have let me go. If you refuse to take my advice, I’ll have to kill you first!” Wade tightened his grip on Gordon’s neck, causing the latter to choke and his eyes to roll backward.

The fear of death instantly surged in Gordon’s heart. At this moment, he no longer cared about taking revenge or restoring his pride. He just wanted to survive!

“Stop… I… I will listen… to you…” Gordon struggled to say a few words in a muffled voice.

Wade felt a tingling sensation on his wrist and subconsciously let go of Gordon.

He looked over in horror, only to see Lucas staring at them with a straight face and Jordan fiddling with the Bergmann pistol.

Jordan had grabbed the pistol in Gordon’s hand just now in an instant. Even Wade didn’t see how he actually moved!

Wade had no idea what struck his wrist either… In short, he didn’t get a clear glimpse despite having sharp vision.

This could only mean that Jordan’s combat skills were far superior to his!

If they really wanted to kill him, he’d never be able to escape!

After Gordon escaped from a close shave with death, his legs and feet went limp, and he collapsed onto the ground while covering his neck and panting heavily.

The threat of death had overwhelmed him with fear!
