Chapter 280: The Dogs Who Get in the Way
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing this, Zach voluntarily rushed up to stop the bodyguards before Lucas said anything.
But to be honest, he was only someone in charge of a cyber cafe who had a martial arts background. Compared to these official bodyguards trained by the Douglases, he was far from comparable. So in just a short while, Zach’s arm was hit twice by the bodyguards’ rods, causing him to grimace in pain.
The redhead who had watched Douglases’ villa was still somewhat loyal, as he didn’t flee as soon as he saw that they were offending the Douglases. Instead, when he saw that Zach was no match for the two bodyguards, he clenched his jaw and dashed forward to help Zach block some of the attacks.
Lucas looked at the both of them in surprise, finding them quite loyal.
Of course, he wouldn’t stand at the side and watch them get beaten up. He strode forward and appeared in front of the two bodyguards almost immediately. He raised his hands and grabbed one of them while twisting the other, causing them to shriek in pain. Their wrists were in so much pain that they dropped the rods in their hands.
Immediately afterward, before Zach and the redhead could even get a clear glimpse of Lucas’s movements, the two bodyguards were already shrieking in pain and then collapsed in front of Lucas one after another. They couldn’t get up at all, and the entire process didn’t take more than two seconds.
Lucas stepped on the wrist of one of the bodyguards. “Just ten minutes ago, a woman came here with four bodyguards. Who did she come look for? Where is she now? Tell me, or I’ll break your arms!”
Feeling the immense pain in his wrist that felt like it was about to break, the bodyguard turned pale in shock and hurriedly exclaimed, “I’ll tell you! I don’t know that fat woman, but she came here to look for Chris Douglas, the helmsman of the family. This villa belongs to him too, and they… they’re now in the master bedroom on the second floor of the villa. I don’t know about the rest!”

He was just a bodyguard who was only responsible for guarding the entrance of the villa, so he had no idea about the situation inside!
Lucas narrowed his eyes. Turns out the owner of this villa is Chris Douglas. In that case, I should be able to meet this ruthless and vicious man soon.
Suddenly, the other bodyguard on the ground whipped out the walkie-talkie from his waist with difficulty while Lucas was questioning the first bodyguard. He was just about to call someone to come over, but Zach, who was beside him, saw it and immediately went over to kick the walkie-talkie out of his hand.
“You still want to call someone to come to your rescue, huh?” Zach kicked the bodyguard twice and then asked Lucas for instructions, “Mr. Gray, in order to avoid any more trouble, I think we’d better knock them both out!”
Lucas nodded indifferently and moved his foot away while Zach and his subordinate immediately came forward to pick up the rods that the bodyguards had dropped. They then smashed them hard against the back of the bodyguards’ heads to knock them out.
Of course, the bodyguard who answered Lucas’s questions cooperatively had merely been hit once by the rod, while the other who tried to call for help was in a miserable state. After being knocked out, he was hit by the rods a few more times.
Lucas pushed open the door of the villa and walked in, followed by Zach and the young redhead.
Chris Douglas’ private villa had extravagant and opulent decor. Although it couldn’t hold a candle to Lucas’s lake villa, it was still an incredibly beautiful luxury property.
Besides, the sound insulation of this villa was clearly impressive, as the people inside didn’t know anything about the commotion that just happened outside. Even when the three of them reached the staircase at the end of the living room, the bodyguards standing in the corridor on the second floor by the stairway and chatting with each other still didn’t notice them.

“Tsk, tsk, we’re always told to guard the door, but what’s there to guard? No outsider dares to come into this villa anyway.”
“Hahahaha, you must be envious, huh? Our boss is enjoying himself in there, but all you can do is stay here and guard the place. Are you having a dry spell? When it’s time to change shifts, I bet you’ll dash out and find someone to satisfy your needs!”
“Hmph, I don’t believe you’re not envious! But seriously, Mr. Douglas has such unique taste in women. If I were him, I wouldn’t want such a fat woman! I’d definitely get a woman who has a nice figure.”
“Hehehe, there are plenty of women out there who have great figures. Mr. Douglas must have gotten sick of them. What do you know? This is called an occasional change of taste!”
…
While the bodyguards were chuckling lewdly over this topic with an unspoken mutual understanding, they were completely relaxed and failed to notice the commotion going on downstairs.
The redhead had sharp eyes, and as soon as he saw them, he said to Lucas softly, “Mr. Gray, those four bodyguards up there are the ones who followed that woman to Golden Garden Estate to beat that man up just now!”
Lucas looked up at the stairway of the second floor with an icy cold gaze.
They were the ones who had beat up his father-in-law, William, knocked him unconscious, and caused him to be hospitalized. They had even tried to harm Cheyenne!
Lucas sneered and quickly stomped his foot on the ground before pressing his hand against the handrail of the staircase. He then propelled upward like a bird with light wings, leaping up from the first floor to the second floor.
“So fast!”
Zach and the redhead were both stunned by the move Lucas just pulled! They looked at each other and hurriedly followed Lucas up the stairs.
Of course, they didn’t have such amazing skills and could only run up the stairs.
At this moment, the pupils of four bodyguards, who were slacking off and chatting in the corridor on the second floor, constricted when they saw Lucas suddenly appear in front of them. They quickly got into a ready state and hollered, “Who are you?!”
Lucas said coldly with a hostile gaze, “You must be the ones who severely injured my father-in-law!”
Hearing the word ‘father-in-law’, they were stunned for a moment, but they soon understood.
One of the bodyguards spat a mouthful of saliva and said in disdain, “It turns out you’re the son-in-law of that old fogy. Are you thinking of taking revenge on us?”
“Punk, you’re really bold to have barged into the villa! We have to teach you a good lesson, or Mr. Douglas will blame us for failing our duties!”
Another bodyguard raised his fist in front of him and clenched it tightly, causing his knuckles to pop loudly. It was clearly a threat. “Hah, I can beat ten of you weaklings alone!”
The other bodyguard looked at Lucas’s lean body and snorted with contemptuous laughter. He didn’t take Lucas’s words seriously at all. As soon as he finished speaking, he charged toward Lucas and swung his fist against Lucas’s face!
