MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 3 Episode 28

Joe was instantly on cloud nine. Lucas’s words not only meant that he would officially become the person in charge of Little Atlantis City from today, but it also meant that Lucas had accepted him as his subordinate!

Since the last time they met at the Opulence, Joe had already determined that Lucas was an extraordinary person. And the series of events that happened in Little Atlantis City today had once again proven Lucas’s absolute strength and power!

Joe had always been a clear-headed person who was good at analyzing the pros and cons of every matter. He was certain that as long as he was subordinate to Lucas, his future achievements would definitely be far beyond Little Atlantis City!

On the other hand, among the people standing at the corner, there were some who didn’t agree with Lucas and simply sneered at him contemptuously.

A bearded middle-aged man walked out from the crowd and shouted, “Punk, I don’t know who you are, but Tony is still the owner of Little Atlantis City! He isn’t dead yet. Who are you to appoint a new owner?”

His name was Alex Stone, a powerful figure in Little Atlantis City who was second only to Tony and Joe.

Alex was not actually that loyal toward Tony. But rather, he was incredibly displeased with the fact that Joe was about to take charge of Little Atlantis City. So he stepped out to express his disgruntlement and objection.

In his opinion, even after Tony’s death, the management personnel of Little Atlantis City should be the ones to decide who the next helmsman of the entertainment joint should be. And he naturally wanted to be the next ruler of Little Atlantis City who enjoyed supreme authority.

However, Lucas was just an outsider. Yet he intervened and made the decision to appoint Joe as the next helmsman. Alex felt that Lucas had no right to do so.

He was indignant!

“It’s not up to you to oppose my decision.” Lucas glanced at Alex coldly before looking away. He wouldn’t take the opinion of a nobody seriously at all.

Alex immediately felt infuriated, perhaps because he had been agitated by Lucas ignoring him. He suddenly developed the courage to pull out a dagger that he had hidden at his waist and pounced at Lucas.

“Brothers, there’s no need to be afraid of him! Hack this bastard to death!”

Alex charged forward while roaring.

Lucas’s gaze turned gloomy, and the other dice he was fiddling with suddenly popped out from the gap between his fingers and darted out like a bullet!

This dice accurately hit the center of Alex’s eyebrows, boring a huge hole through his forehead!

Alex froze right on the spot as his body stiffened in the midst of charging forward. But the light in his eyes gradually disappeared, and a stream of crimson blood began to pour out of the hole in his forehead together with some white substance.

Bang!

Only after several seconds did Alex’s heavy body suddenly hit the ground and turn motionless!

But his eyes were still wide open in confusion, as if he hadn’t figured out what happened to him before his death.

Dumbfounded, everyone watched everything that happened before their eyes with their hearts hammering.

The dice Lucas threw actually penetrated through the hard and sturdy skull of a human, resulting in a fatal injury. The power of his dice was simply comparable to a bullet!

Initially, they thought that Lucas managed to make the dice pierce through Tony’s wrist only because he was skillful and got lucky.

But none of them dared to think so now!

This young man was actually keeping a straight face even after killing Alex!

He wasn’t afraid to kill someone at all! As long as he was willing, he could casually kill all of them with the cup of dice on the table!

With this thought in mind, they could no longer maintain a steady gait as their legs turned into jelly. They dropped onto their knees, kneeling in front of Lucas and begging him for mercy.

“Sir, I have no objections! From today onward, you are our boss. We are willing to listen to whatever you say!”

“Yes! Me too! I pledge allegiance to you, and I’ll do whatever you tell me to do without question!”

…

Lucas didn’t pay attention to them and instead said to Joe, “I’ll leave it to you to handle everything here.”

With these words, he once again affirmed Joe’s position as the new helmsman of Little Atlantis City. It would also be up to Joe to decide whether those who got on their knees to beg for mercy would stay or go.

“Yes! Thank you, Mr. Gray!” Joe hurriedly agreed while bowing, his heart full of joy.

Seeing Lucas stand up and walk out of the door, he hurriedly went forward to ask for instructions again. “Mr. Gray… what do you plan to do with Tony Zander?”

At this point, Tony hadn’t died yet. He had merely momentarily fainted from the pain of having his wrist pierced through by the dice Lucas threw and then his entire hand chopped off by Joe. His body was now soaked in the blood that was gushing out of his aorta. If he wasn’t treated in time, he would definitely die of excessive blood loss.

Joe naturally wished he could kill Tony now to avenge his deceased friend. But Tony had a significant status that gave him great authority and influence in the industries of entertainment joints and underground gambling dens in Orange County. Joe didn’t know if Lucas planned to have Tony die or not.

Without stopping in his tracks, Lucas said uninterestedly, “I’ll leave him to you. Do whatever you want with him.”

When Lucas reached the door of the private room and placed his hand on the door handle, he turned around and said to Joe, “I’m handing over Little Atlantis City to you because I want you to run it like a proper business and control the entire underground industry of Orange County. Ban all businesses that involve vices like prostitution, gambling, and drugs! Otherwise, I’ll strip you of your position. Do you hear me?”

Joe’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly assured solemnly, “Yes, Mr. Gray! I will definitely do as you say. From today onward, Little Atlantis City will no longer be involved in prostitution, gambling, and drugs! I will also supervise and enforce restrictions in other areas of Orange County so that such things will never appear again!”

Such vices had harmed countless people, and although they had been repeatedly banned, it was still difficult to cut off the source completely.

Lucas couldn’t guarantee that he could completely eradicate these vices, but he would do his best to make sure that the sources were cut off, at least within the area of Orange County that was within his abilities!

This was also why he let Joe become his subordinate and appointed him as the new helmsman of Little Atlantis City.

After casually taking off another new mask from the wall and putting it on, Lucas opened the door and walked out.

The poker players who had gathered outside the door and stared at it for a long time immediately fixed all their attention on the door when they saw it suddenly open and Lucas stride out of it.

They were extremely curious about the outcome of the gamble and the miserable shriek they had just heard.

But they were extremely surprised to discover that the person walking out of the private room was the masked young man whose identity they didn’t know!

He was completely unscathed. Obviously, nothing had happened to him.

In that case, who was the one who let out that shriek of misery?
