MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 3 Episode 26

Lucas’s words were like a boulder thrown into a lake.

Stunned by his words, they looked at each other and were at a loss for how to react.

As the person Lucas was pointing his finger at, Tony nearly exploded with rage!

“Bastard! I think you’re tired of living! Damn it. I wanted to give you a chance and groom you because you’re quite capable, but since you don’t know any better, go to hell!”

Then his finger moved on the trigger, ready to shoot Lucas!

Suddenly, a cold and sharp blade was pressed against Tony’s neck.

“Stop, don’t move.” A deep but familiar voice rang beside Tony’s ear.

As expected, Tony didn’t dare to move. As someone who had been involved with gangs for years, he could tell just from the feeling of the cold and sharp blade being pressed against the artery of his neck that it must be an extremely sharp dagger!

He could even sense the chilliness coming from the blade. It was as if the dagger would slit his throat as long as he breathed a little harder!

Now, Tony didn’t even dare to breathe hard, let alone shoot.

“Joe! What are you doing?!”

“Hurry up and let go of Mr. Zander! Or else don’t blame us for being ruthless!”

“Are you out of your mind? You scoundrel!”

…

After the surrounding underlings got a clear look at what was happening and got over their shock, they whipped out their weapons and aimed at the refined-looking young man who was pressing his dagger against Tony’s neck. They were all hollering at him and demanding that he let go of Tony.

The young man was Joe Daniels, the manager of the Opulence, whom Lucas had met twice.

Previously, Joe had lent William 76,000 dollars in the Opulence, but it soon snowballed to 450,000 dollars, including interest. William was threatened to pay up or have his limbs removed. Later on, Lucas delivered a truck full of coins worth almost a million dollars and buried the entire hall of the first floor in them.

Since then, Joe had been scrupulous toward Lucas, and he even visited Lucas and William to offer his apology with a check of 450,000 dollars. Only then did the matter blow over.

Lucas had noticed Joe standing behind Tony from the moment he entered this private room. There was some hatred in Joe’s gaze when he looked at Tony, unlike that of the other underlings, who were scared and wary of Tony.

Thus, Lucas had actually deliberately mentioned the change of owner of Little Atlantis City because he wanted Joe to hear it.

Lucas could tell that Joe was an extremely intelligent and ambitious person. Having witnessed Lucas’s prowess and abilities, Joe had become fearful and respectful toward him. As long as Lucas gave an order, Joe would definitely grasp the opportunity to take down Tony and become the new owner of Little Atlantis City.

Indeed, Joe’s actions did not disappoint Lucas.

“Tony Zander, get all your men to put down their weapons and retreat to the corner! Otherwise, I’ll slit your neck!” Joe said with a firm gaze of determination in his eyes.

He pressed his sharp dagger harder against Tony’s neck threateningly, and a red line of blood immediately appeared below the blade.

Feeling a sharp pain in his neck, Tony panicked. He was incredibly scared that Joe might let his hand slip and cause the dagger to slit his neck. No longer bothered to care about the pain, he frantically exclaimed, “Didn’t you hear that? Hurry up and put your weapons down and then go stand in the corner! I won’t spare anyone who dares to act rashly!”

The underlings hesitated for a moment and then did as they were told. They dropped their daggers, steel rods, and other weapons on the ground and then retreated step by step to the corner of the room.

Only then did Joe lift the dagger slightly off Tony’s neck.

“Joe!” Tony was gritting his teeth resentfully. He was furious and flabbergasted, but he dared not speak loudly and could only question through clenched teeth, “Why? I feel that I treat you well, and I even gave you the chance to work at the Opulence to gain some experience. Why are you betraying me?”

Joe sneered disdainfully. “You treat me well? Bullshit! The Opulence is a business that my friend and I worked hard to establish. You encroached on my property and even killed my friend. In the end, you forced me to work for you like a dog! You had merely offered to me what was rightfully mine like it was a benefit bestowed out of kindness on your part!

“This is not betrayal but revenge! You deserve all of this!”

When Joe thought about his friend’s tragic death, his eyes were full of hatred, and he became extremely agitated too, so much so that the dagger in his hand even began to tremble.

“You… Calm down, and let’s talk things over… Joe, I admit that I did you wrong back then, but I really didn’t kill your friend. It was Kevin Creed!”

“Kevin Creed?” Upon hearing this name, Joe couldn’t help but subconsciously recall who Kevin Creed was and what feud there was between his friend and Kevin Creed. He subconsciously loosened his grip on the dagger a little.

At this very moment, Tony threw his head back abruptly and slammed Joe’s nose with the back of his head. Before Joe could react, he quickly grabbed Joe’s hand on his neck and immediately turned around to aim the pistol, which he originally aimed at Lucas, at Joe’s head!

He was extremely quick. And spurred by a strong desire to live, Tony acted the fastest he ever had in his life!

There was a sudden twist in the situation, and the person that had been threatened now had the upper hand.

“You want to betray me, huh? Go to hell!” Tony curled his finger around the trigger with a ruthless expression!

Joe’s heart was full of despair and regret!

He regretted getting distracted by a few words from Tony and ending up being threatened by Tony instead. He regretted failing to act decisively enough and not slitting Tony’s neck right away to avenge his friend!

He was indignant!

Whoosh!

At the very moment that Tony was about to pull the trigger of the pistol, a tiny object darted through the air like a bolt of lightning with a lingering explosive sound.

With a dull sound, this tiny object punctured and pierced through the middle of Tony’s wrist. Blood immediately gushed out!

Feeling a sharp pain in his wrist, he lost all power in his fingers, and the pistol he was holding fell to the ground.

“Ah! My wrist!” Tony immediately held his wrist and shrieked in misery.

Horrified, everyone in the room looked over, only to see a dice stained with fresh, bright red blood stuck in the wall near them.

The tiny object that just pierced through Tony’s wrist was obviously this dice!

And this dice had darted out from Lucas’s hand!
