Chapter 299: Troublemaking Clowns
“Yes, Lucas!” Jordan had long been waiting impatiently at the side for a chance to strike. As soon as he heard Lucas’s instructions, his eyes instantly lit up, and he charged toward the three of them like an aggressive cheetah.
Kyle was a haughty scion himself, so his bodyguards were naturally similar to him. After hearing what Lucas said, they began to get into a defensive stance. But before they could react, they were hit hard in their stomachs by a powerful strike.
“Ah!”
“Argh!”
“Waaa!”
Along with three miserable cries, three figures instantly flew away from Lucas and landed heavily on the ground around five meters away.
The entire process took less than two seconds!
Some of the surrounding onlookers immediately shrieked, while many were still dumbfounded because everything had happened in the blink of an eye. Before they could get a clear glimpse of what happened, Kyle and his strong bodyguards had already been flung far away like rag dolls.
“What… what happened?”
“Oh my god! Kyle Kingston actually got beaten up!”
“Who exactly is that young man… How bold of him! That young man beside him has such terrifying combat skills! I just blinked for a second and missed everything! Can someone tell me how exactly he managed to kick those three men so far away at the same time?”
“I… I just saw him raise his leg, and afterward, Kyle Kingston and his bodyguards were flung far away! He’s unbelievably fast!”
…
Gisele, who had looked rather smug just now, gasped in disbelief. After seeing this scene, she almost couldn’t believe her eyes.
Kyle may be lousy, but what about his personal bodyguards? Are they wastrels who can’t take a beating too?
No, impossible!
This just means the young following that ignorant and ungrateful bastard is much better at fighting than Kyle’s bodyguards!
It also means that the real identity of that man I thought was just decent-looking but poor might really be astonishing!
While Gisele was overwhelmed by the shock, Lucas glanced at her coldly, sending a chill down her spine and making her shudder.
When she thought of what she had just said to Lucas and how she had instigated Kyle to deal with him, she was overwhelmed with fear and regret. Her legs turned into jelly, and she fell to the ground. Oh dear! I’ve offended someone I shouldn’t have!
But Lucas merely glanced at Gisele before turning away and ignoring her.
In Lucas’s opinion, Gisele, Kyle, and others like them were just annoying clowns out to cause trouble. He ignored them because all he wanted to do now was go inside Club Splendor and rescue Gisele.
Lucas and Jordan walked directly to the entrance of Club Splendor, but several security guards stopped them. “Excuse me. Please show your invitation cards.”
“Invitation cards?” Jordan frowned. “Isn’t this club an entertainment joint? Why do we need an invitation?”
The security guards looked at Lucas and Jordan, and the respect in their eyes turned into contempt. They said impatiently, “The entire Club Splendor has been booked for a grand auction tonight. No one is allowed to enter without an invitation! Please get out of the way and make way for the distinguished guests!”
Jordan was furious and was about to say something to the snobbish security guards when they suddenly heard a derisive voice coming from behind.
“Hey, I was wondering who it is. Isn’t this the famous live-in son-in-law of the Carters? Do you think Club Splendor is like a roadside restaurant you can enter as and when you please?”
“The Carters? Is there such a family in Orange County? Why haven’t I heard of them before?”
“Hah, it’s just a lowly third-rate family that almost went bankrupt recently. It’s not strange that you haven’t heard of them. The puzzling thing is that this shameless live-in son-in-law actually still has the guts to show up here. Doesn’t he know that this isn’t a place for him?”
“Hahaha. Maybe he’s just ignorant and fearless!”
…
These people were taunting and mocking Lucas. But among all of them, the person who spoke the most was someone with whom Lucas was the most familiar.
Lucas sneered and thought, Why are there so many self-righteous fools who like going around making a nuisance?
He turned his head and saw three young men walking over from the parking lot not far away.
The young man standing on the far left was about 23 or 24 years old, and he was now staring at Lucas with a resentful expression and a sinister gaze. If the look in his eyes could kill, he would have probably pierced Lucas countless times by now.
This young man was none other than Tristan Parker, from one of the most powerful families in LA, whom Lucas had met before.
When Lena Sawyer had invited Lucas to lunch at a restaurant called The Loft previously, Tristan had appeared out of nowhere and claimed to be Lena’s husband. He had even tried to teach Lucas a lesson.
Of course, his plan of pretending to be impressive ended up backfiring, as Lucas had knocked both his bodyguards away and even made him kneel down to apologize to him.
Lucas didn’t know the other two young men beside Tristan, but he reckoned they should also be rich second-generation heirs of prestigious families since they could hang out with Tristan.
Lucas glanced at him and said indifferently, “Seems like your knees are not hurting anymore, so you’ve gotten more brazen, huh, Mr. Parker?”
Tristan was the first person who started mocking him just now and also the one who mocked him the most, for fear that his friends wouldn’t know how ‘lowly’ Lucas was.
“You!” When he heard Lucas suddenly mention the matter of him kneeling in the restaurant and being forced to apologize to Lucas in public, he immediately felt insulted and humiliated again.
He even vaguely felt a faint, painful sensation in his knees, as if the feeling he felt that day had returned.
The moment he met Lucas’s eyes full of indifference, Tristan instantly recalled how Lucas had kicked away both his bodyguards effortlessly and even pinned him firmly to the ground. Regardless of how he had struggled, he hadn’t been able to break free.
Yes, he was now full of fear toward Lucas!
In fact, Tristan’s knees even began to tremble uncontrollably.
A rich scion beside him seemed to notice the horror within Tristan. He glowered at Lucas hostilely and suddenly said, “Tristan, did this person bully you in the past? Don’t worry. I’ll get back at him for you!”
