Chapter 611: Don’t Kill Anyone

The hand of death Lucas was strangling his neck tightly with made Roy frightened out of his wits.

The suffocating pain and the fear of dying made him experience an unprecedented sense of terror.

“You… let go! Otherwise, the Smiths… Mmph!” Roy was struggling and still trying to threaten Lucas with the power of the Smiths.

But Lucas immediately forcefully strangled his neck, making it impossible for him to utter another word.

Seeing this, Maddy hurriedly persuaded, “Lucas, don’t be impulsive!”

She knew that Lucas wasn’t afraid of the Smiths, but they were one of the eight most powerful families in DC and possessed massive power that shouldn’t be underestimated. If Lucas killed Roy here, it would definitely bring him great trouble.

After all, Maddy was the indirect cause of this matter, so she’d definitely feel extremely sorry and be riddled with guilt.

Besides, her family would definitely be implicated and would end up being targeted or even destroyed once they fell out with the Smiths.

As a member of the Stone family, she couldn’t bring about a disaster to her family even if she didn’t feel a sense of belonging.

Cheyenne hurriedly pulled Lucas’s arm and also persuaded, “Hubby, calm down! Don’t do anything foolish because of someone like him! It’s not worth it!”

She was also afraid that Lucas would accidentally strangle Roy to death.

Naturally, Lucas wouldn’t really kill Roy.

Although he was angry, he didn’t lose his rationality because of it.

After seeing the look of concern in Cheyenne’s and Maddy’s eyes, he exhaled softly and warned Roy, “I’ll let you off today on Maddy’s account. But if you dare to appear in front of her and harass her again, I won’t let you off! Get lost!”

Then Lucas flung Roy away.

Roy landed on the ground. Although he had a wretched fall, his breathing became smooth again because his neck was free from Lucas’s iron-like grip. He was gasping for breath, and his heart was brimming with the ecstasy of surviving this ordeal.

His bodyguards immediately ran to his side and held him up. “Mr. Stone, are you alright?”

Roy touched the spot on his neck that was vaguely throbbing with pain. It was already bruised from being strangled by Lucas.

Although he hated Lucas so much that he wanted to kill him on the spot, the fear he had of him had already become deeply rooted in his heart after the near-death experience just now.

Thus, Roy didn’t dare to say a single word about taking revenge until after Lucas took Maddy and Jordan inside the Lion Restaurant.

“Mr. Smith… What should we…” a bodyguard cautiously asked.

Smack!

Before he could finish his sentence, Roy smacked his face hard.

“Good-for-nothings! My dad sent you guys to protect me, but neither of you managed to even touch a corner of that punk’s clothes. You even allowed him to almost strangle me to death! Why should I keep garbage like you around?!” Roy hollered furiously and vented all his pent up anger on the bodyguards.

“We were incompetent. Please punish us, Mr. Smith!” The bodyguards didn’t argue and instead got on their knees to ask for Roy’s punishment.

These bodyguards had been working for the Smiths for a long time. If Roy went home and complained about them to his family, they wouldn’t just get sacked. Their lives would be in danger!

They had no choice because they were facing a terrifying scion of the Smith family.

After venting his anger, Roy gradually calmed down. Although his bodyguards were so incompetent that they couldn’t even defeat a young man in his late twenties and even caused him to be on the brink of death, he had only brought two bodyguards with him to Orange County this time. If he got rid of them now, his safety wouldn’t be guaranteed.

The thought of it made Roy feel extremely irritated.

He waved his hand impatiently. “Get up. If you dare to be so useless again next time, I won’t spare you! Now, go find out the identity of that pretty boy with Maddy!”

He gritted his teeth furiously at the entrance of the Lion Restaurant, which was already empty.

Roy was a scion of one of the eight major families of DC. Even in DC, he was an existence praised by others all the time and enjoyed the pleasure of ordering others around.

As a scion of a powerful family, he should enjoy the treatment that royals received once he declared the name of his family!

Yet in Orange County, he actually got humiliated by a young man and almost died at his hands. He had been so frightened that he didn’t even dare to say anything harsh to him. It was absolutely a humiliation!

He swore that he would never let off the pretty boy who had the audacity to snatch his fiancée, as well as Maddy, whom he thought didn’t know any better!

…

Meanwhile, Lucas, Maddy, Jordan, and Cheyenne had already arrived at the private room of the Lion Restaurant that they had booked in advance.

It should have been a joyous gathering, but due to the episode just now, Maddy was in low spirits now and even seemed to be forcing herself to look happy.

Seeing this, Jordan felt anxious.

Lucas also roughly understood what Maddy was worried about.
