Chapter 285: Repeat Yourself
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After Sharon heard his roar, she shuddered and wished she could stuff herself into the cracks of the bed.
But when she saw Lucas’s intimidating gaze, she could only speak up regardless of how unwilling she was. “I… I’m upstairs!”
Soon, James and several bodyguards rushed aggressively to the door of the room upstairs.
He had bloodshot eyes and anger written all over his face. As soon as he entered the room, he saw his wife wrapped in a thin bedsheet and cowering in the corner of the large bed in the middle of the bedroom. Only her arms were exposed, but anyone could tell that she was naked below the sheet.
The weak and feeble Chris, who was similarly naked, was beside her, but he only had a bath towel covering his lower body. Their clothes were strewn messily all over the ground, and it was obvious what they had been doing just now.
But they weren’t the only ones in the room. Lucas and two other people were present as well.
Among them, the most eye-catching one was Lucas, who was sitting leisurely on the couch across the bed, with the two roguish young men beside him.
When James glanced at Lucas, he naturally recognized him.
Previously at the hotel restaurant, he had brought his men with him with the intention to stand up for Sharon. But in the end, Lucas had single-handedly defeated all ten-odd bodyguards as soon as they fought.
Since then, James had been wary and scared of Lucas, whom he had added to his list of people not to be trifled with.
Although he didn’t know why Lucas had appeared where his wife and Chris were having an affair, James believed that Lucas was absolutely not one of Sharon’s adulterous lovers!
So he merely glanced at Lucas before venting all his anger on the shameless pair of adulterers on the bed.

“Chris Douglas, I’ve always respected you for being a prestigious figure. And when you succeeded as the head of the Douglas family just a while ago, I even personally went to give you an expensive congratulatory gift. Now, we’re also business partners. Is this how you f*cking treat me? You actually slept with my wife?! Damn it. Can’t you get another woman? Or are you deliberately trying to humiliate me? How have I ever offended you?” James cursed furiously with bloodshot eyes while wishing he could strangle Chris dead right on the spot!
Chris naturally didn’t know what to say, and he could only muster the energy to say with great difficulty, “James, well… I have nothing to say about this. I’ve indeed let you down. I’m sorry. I… I will… definitely make it up to you! Even if… even if I have to give you half of my businesses and assets, I will! Now, I just hope you can send me to the hospital as soon as possible… I’m really about to die…”
Only then did James realize that Chris’s face was terribly pale and that cold sweat covered his forehead.
He moved his gaze downward, only to finally notice the blood that had gushed out of Chris’s badly mangled wrist to stain half of the bedsheets and the hand on it.
The bloody scene made James’s pupils constrict. Someone had actually torn Chris’s hand off… But he soon felt the thrill of seeing Chris get his just desserts.
“Haha, you deserve this! Chris Douglas, having your hand torn off is what you get for sleeping with my wife! You actually want me to send you to the hospital? No way! Dream on!”
James was not a saint who would send the man who cuckolded him to the hospital to get treated.
He would never do such a lowly thing!
“What are you still standing there for? Beat him up!”
With James’s order, his bodyguards immediately charged toward Chris and hit him as hard as they could.

Having lost too much blood from his torn-off hand, Chris was simply powerless to fight back. To make matters worse, his face was bruised and swollen after getting beaten up by the bodyguards, making him unable to scream or shout.
At this moment, James stormed menacingly toward Sharon, who was trembling at the side. He grabbed her hair, dragged her off the bed, and kicked her hard. “Bitch! Have I ever mistreated you? I provide all your living expenses and put a roof over your head. Yet you dared to fool around with another man! I must beat you to death today!”
Sharon was being kicked so brutally that she kept shrieking, and she suffered several hard slaps that made her face burn with stinging pain. She wept incessantly and begged for mercy, “Honey, I know I was wrong! I won’t dare to do it again! Ah! Please forgive me, Honey!”
After giving Sharon a brutal beating, James finally vented some of his anger.
“Hurry up and put on your clothes, and then come home with me! I’ll deal with you again when we get home!”
No matter what, Sharon was still his woman after all, and it would be too embarrassing to continue hitting her in front of outsiders, as that would reflect badly on James too. He glared at Sharon viciously and thought to himself, Once we get home, I’ll teach this promiscuous and shameless bitch who had the guts to cuckold me a hard lesson!
Sharon shuddered and hurriedly put on her clothes. At this point, Chris had already passed out from the severe beating of the bodyguards.
With shaky limbs, Sharon cowered behind James. Suddenly remembering something, she pointed at Lucas. “Honey, he… Lucas Gray got his subordinate to take photos and videos of me… and Chris. What should I do…”
James was once again enraged.
But even though he was so furious that he wished he could strangle Sharon to death on the spot, he had to get those photos and videos from Lucas.
No matter what, Sharon was still his wife. If those indecent and explicit photographic content of her were leaked, Sharon would not be the only one getting humiliated. It would be a huge disgrace to James and his entire Wilson family.
James turned to face Lucas and demanded in displeasure, “Lucas Gray, hand me those photos and videos!”
Because he was burning with rage, he was displeased with everyone now and thus spoke to Lucas in a commanding tone.
Lucas naturally wouldn’t give in to James and allow him to talk to him scornfully. He remained seated and said, “James Wilson, why don’t you ask me the reason I took those unsightly photos of your wife?”
“I don’t care what the reason is. Those photos are of my wife, so you don’t have the right to keep them! Hurry up and give them to me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being nasty!” James threatened with great animosity.
Zach immediately stood out and interjected loudly, “James Wilson, watch your tone with Mr. Gray. You didn’t even ask about what happened, but you’re just demanding that we hand the photos over?”
James glanced disdainfully at the row of ear studs on Zach’s ears, as well as the dragon tattoo on his arm, and sneered. “You’re just a lowly gangster. Who are you to speak to me? Your owner hasn’t even spoken yet, so what are you barking for? Get lost!”
“You!” Zach was so infuriated that he turned beet red.
Before he could say anything, Lucas’s figure suddenly flashed like a phantom and arrived in front of James in the blink of an eye.
Smack!
He gave James a loud, hard slap on his face.
Lucas narrowed his eyes while James stared at him with shock and disbelief in his eyes.
“Try repeating what you just said.”

Forged in Fear and Fury - An Apocalyptic LitRPG
In an attempt to prevent Earths ensuing demise, it is ripped from the void by an entity known as The Totality. It is then fused with a Lost Dungeon World to increase its inhabitants chances of survival in a new, system-enhanced universe. Cade Vale barely avoids death in the first second. Will he be able to overcome the rigors of this new world and survive? Will he be able to carve a new life out of the aether for himself and those whom he loves most? ...Will he be able to avoid becoming everything he hates in order to do so? Artwork by Kayla Basciano - Instagram: vulpix1323 Inspired primarily by the systems in The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound, The Genesis System, and The New World as well as by Savage Divinity, Azarinth Healer, and Shovels in Spades in general. I haven't been able to get these worlds out of my head and I've been waiting for something to fill the void left by the hiatus of Genesis, but so far nothing has scratched that itch as much as ProfoundMagician was able to with the world he created. I figure if I'm going to be thinking about this stuff as much as I do I might as well get better at writing while playing with a number of those ideas that I love. I have a number of specifics and events I want to show in the story, but a lot of the fun is coming up with ways to branch those together cohesively. This is an attempt to alleviate my depression by channeling my creativity into a hobby. Hopefully it's as enjoyable to read as it is to write.

In the woods of the American Midwest, foul creatures lurk. Tabitha Varna, a young college drop-out scarred by her past, is determined to uproot them or die trying. Sometimes she hopes for both.[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
