At this moment, Lucas naturally wasn't aware that the Wallaces had already decided to hire top experts to assassinate him and had also decided to join hands with the Kingstons.

Others would definitely be scared soulless if they learned that they were about to be assassinated. After all, the Wallaces were one of the four most powerful families in Orange County, and the Kingstons were one of the most powerful families in the state. Neither was to be belittled, let alone them joining forces. Anyone targeted by them would definitely be unable to escape death.

​​

But Lucas was a formidable person. Even if the Wallaces and Kingstons joined forces to hire top experts in California, they wouldn't be able to deal with Lucas. In fact, it was almost impossible to find someone in the country who was on par with Lucas.

He was known as the invincible God of War, and he was also the captain of the Falcon Regiment. Almost no one in the world could harm him.

In the afternoon, Lucas handled some matters at the Stardust Corporation. When he saw that it was about time, he proceeded to pick Amelia up at the kindergarten and then drove to the entrance of the Brilliance Corporation to pick Cheyenne up. The family of three happily headed home to the lake villa.

The black Jaguar drove through the gates of the villa. As soon as the gates opened, Lucas could acutely sense an extraordinary murderous aura lurking in their villa.

Lucas had experienced many life-and-death crises on the battlefield, and his personal strength and combat skills had also reached a terrifying level. So he was very sensitive to such murderous auras, and he could sense it through the air.

His heart tensed up, and he stopped Cheyenne, who was about to get out of the car while carrying Amelia in her arms. Afraid of scaring his wife and daughter, Lucas said gently, "Wait for me inside the car. I'm just going to grab something inside. Let's have dinner at a restaurant tonight!"

Cheyenne asked with great suspicion, "We're already home. Why do you suddenly want to have dinner at a restaurant?"

"It's nothing. I just suddenly want to take Amelia to a nice restaurant. The food they serve is delicious." Lucas found a random excuse.

Being a child, Amelia was excited when she heard that Lucas was going to take her out for dinner. She immediately exclaimed happily, "Wow! Yay, we get to go out for a feast tonight! I want to have some pizza!"

Seeing how excited and happy Amelia was, Cheyenne naturally agreed to it.

Thus, both Cheyenne and Amelia stayed in the car while Lucas walked toward the villa alone.

After pushing open the villa door, Lucas walked directly toward the stairs. The murderous aura he detected just now was coming from the master bedroom on the second floor.

His footsteps were extremely light, especially when he stepped on the soft carpet. He remained silent all the way until he reached the door of the master bedroom before kicking it open!

Bang!

With the strong impact of his kick, the exquisite scented rosewood door flew open and slammed against the wall behind the door.

"Argh!" Caught off guard, the figure behind the bedroom door let out a muffled grunt as the wooden door slammed against his nose before he could even react and wedged him between the door and the wall. His nose started bleeding, and he was in extreme pain, completely in a tragic plight.

The man never thought that Lucas would discover him when he was hiding behind the bedroom door! How did Lucas Gray make his way up quietly? I didn't notice his presence at all!

Bearing with the pain and soreness coming from his nose, the man wiped the blood off of his face and darted out from behind the door with a shiny dagger in his hand. He then charged toward Lucas's throat!

The man moved extremely quickly, and he was much faster than many of the so-called experts Lucas had seen before. Others probably wouldn't even be able to react in time and suffer a fatal slash to the neck.

But the moment the lightning-fast dagger was about to touch his neck, Lucas merely sneered and reached out at a speed twice as fast as the assailant to grab his wrist and then snatch the dagger.

Immediately afterward, Lucas thrust his knee forward and kneed the man in his lower abdomen.

"Argh!" The man immediately shrieked miserably as his body arched upward. While this was happening, Lucas took the opportunity to press him against the wall in front. He then raised his hand and stabbed the dagger straight into the center of the man's palm, pinning him against the wall!

The next instant, Lucas grabbed his neck like he was grabbing that of a little chicken.

The entire process took less than two seconds!

Lucas rendered the man, who had been ambushing behind the bedroom door, powerless and unable to fight back at all!

At this moment, Lucas had punctured his hand with the dagger, keeping him against the wall. Moreover, Lucas was choking him, not giving him the chance to struggle.

Lucas finally had the time to scrutinize the assassin.

It was a man in his thirties. He was bald but had unusually thick brows and a chubby face. He was obviously a ruthless and ferocious person. Moreover, he was very muscular and had calluses all over his hands. Clearly, he had undergone hard training.

Besides, Lucas could tell from his swift and ruthless actions, as well as the dense murderous aura he was exuding, that he must have killed many people in the past. In fact, he killed for a living.

If Lucas didn't have extraordinarily keen senses, allowing him to detect the murderous aura from outside the villa in advance, he would probably have been killed when he opened the bedroom door.

"Speak up. Who sent you here?" Lucas questioned coldly while exuding a shocking aura.

Lucas would never be merciful to those who wanted to kill him or hurt his family.

At this point, the assailant was in a terrible state, his right hand nailed to the wall by the dagger, his face ashen, blood trickling down his face from his nostrils, and agony written all over his face. He was clearly in extreme pain.

He never thought that he would end up in such a miserable state. The young man in front of him, whom he was supposed to assassinate, had strength far beyond his imagination!

Suddenly, Lucas tightened his grip on the man's neck, making him feel a suffocating, painful sensation and the horrifying fear of being strangled to death.

Seeing the icy cold gaze on Lucas's face, he didn't doubt for a single moment that Lucas would kill him!

"I'll tell you… I'll tell you! It's… the Kingstons who sent me!" the man said with great difficulty.

Lucas narrowed his eyes.

Previously, he had already warned the Kingstons not to try anything funny, but he didn't expect them to still send a hitman to kill him.

It seemed that he had been too kind to Kyle by letting him off before, which was why the Kingstons hadn't learned their lesson yet and repeatedly tried to create trouble for him.

Sensing Lucas's murderous intent, the man immediately had an ominous hunch and frantically tried to threaten Lucas. "I work for the Kingstons. You can't kill me, or else they won't let you off! Neither will my master!"

Snap!

His words came to an abrupt end with the crisp sound of his bones being shattered!

The man's eyes were wide open and full of disbelief. A few seconds later, his head drooped, and he was no longer breathing.

Lucas had snapped the vertebrae at his neck into two!
