MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 4 - Season 6 Episode 33

Scott had long been terrified of Lucas and didn’t dare to play any more tricks. He answered Lucas’s question truthfully.

“I… I actually don’t know what other plans Marc Kingston has. He merely instructed me to destroy the Stardust Corporation’s Orange County branch within ten days and capture Karen Turner to use her against you. But… after the livestream incident today, he reprimanded me and instructed me to control the scope of public opinion. He wants me to destroy the branch while not affecting the entire Stardust Corporation itself.

“Also, shortly after the stream ended, about half an hour or so ago, Marc Kingston’s subordinates took Karen Turner away, but I don’t know where they took her!

“I… I swear what I’m saying is true! I was just acting upon Marc’s orders. He didn’t tell me anything else. So I really don’t know much about the rest! Lucas, I’ve told you everything I know. Please just spare me this once!”

“She was taken away half an hour ago…” Lucas pondered quietly. He didn’t know where Marc would take Karen, but he reckoned that he would likely just kill Karen and then frame Lucas for her death so that he would be labeled a devil and become a public enemy. His reputation would then be ruined.

Lucas didn’t care about Karen’s life and death. In fact, if not for Cheyenne being her daughter, he would have long killed her himself.

Although she deserved to die, now wasn’t the time.

He had lost Karen when she was under his escort. So if she died, there would definitely be some discord between him and Cheyenne and Charlotte.

The only solution now was to go to the Kingstons as soon as possible to look for Marc and force him to speak up. Regardless of whether Karen was now dead or alive, he needed a clear answer!

The thought of it made Lucas not want to waste any more time here.

Lucas glanced at Scott coldly. “Even if you aren’t the mastermind, you can’t be spared from the punishment!”

Then he stepped on Scott’s arm and broke it.

Ignoring Scott’s miserable shriek, Lucas turned around and walked away.

At this moment, his heart was brimming with anger.

The Huttons owed him and his mother plenty to begin with, and he had yet to settle the score with them, but they had been offending him at every turn!

He had yet to develop his current foundation well and would still have to pay a tremendous price to destroy the Huttons. But the Kingstons from San Francisco were willing to be the Huttons’ lackeys and had repeatedly offended him. In that case, they shouldn’t blame him for being ruthless and destroying the Kingstons!

Clutching his broken arm, Scott got up from the floor with great difficulty, full of resentment toward Lucas.

At any other time, he would have thought about how to exact revenge on Lucas for his broken arm and leg.

But he somehow didn’t feel any urge to take revenge now because the thought of the murderous gaze in Lucas’s eyes made him subconsciously terrified!

It was as though Lucas was a giant that was impossible to defeat!

While thinking about this with his face deathly pale, Scott suddenly felt that he should tell the rest of the Taylors about this or at least inform his father, Frederick Taylor, the helmsman of the family, of how terrifying Lucas was. That way, they would be able to properly weigh whether it was worth it for the Taylors to go toe-to-toe against such a terrifying enemy because of the Kingstons!

With this thought, he tried to bear with the pain and picked up his phone to make a call.

“Dad, it’s me. I have something to tell you.” Scott’s tone became cautious in front of his father.

“What’s the matter? Speak up!” Frederick answered tersely as usual.

“Dad, just now, Lucas Gray, whom the Kingstons sent us to deal with, came over, and he…”

Before Scott could finish speaking, a whistling bullet instantly penetrated his heart!

Bang!

The bullet was still echoing, but Scott had already frozen in place. He lowered his head a little and looked at the black hole in his chest. He opened his mouth slightly, but he couldn’t say anything.

Scott’s phone slipped and fell to the floor as he collapsed quietly.

The bodyguards, whom Lucas had defeated earlier, were extremely shocked.

“W-what are you doing?”

“You…”

Two bodyguards immediately became alarmed and hollered furiously, but it was already too late!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

…

With a burst of intense gunshots, the ten or so bodyguards crumpled down, all shot dead by the bullets that penetrated their heads and other vital parts!

Hearing the sudden bursts of gunshots coming from the other end, Frederick, who had always been composed and collected, was immediately frightened. His heart tensed up, and he suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted, “Scott! What happened?! Scott, hurry up and answer me!”

But there was no longer any sound on the other end of the phone.

Frederick’s expression changed drastically, and he immediately realized that something must have happened to Scott!

Frederick flew into a rage and roared at the top of his lungs, “Send people to look for Scott immediately! Find out clearly what exactly happened!”

It instantly made all the Taylors panic as they started searching for Scott frantically, not daring to be negligent at all.

Standing alone in the room, Frederick felt his heart sink continuously.

Although he was still holding onto the hope that nothing had happened to Scott and that Scott could still be rescued, he was clear after hearing the gunshots that it was unlikely that he would survive.

But no matter what, he had to find out what had happened to avenge his son’s death!

Soon, the butler hurriedly ran over and reported, “Mr. Taylor, one of the bodyguards with Mr. Scott has returned. He claims to have something important to tell you!”

Frederick immediately got up and barked, “What are you waiting for? Bring him to me immediately!”

Soon, a bodyguard with a broken wrist and a body battered with wounds stumbled in. As soon as he saw Frederick, he immediately got down on his knees and apologized. “Please forgive me, Sir! I failed to protect Mr. Scott. He… he was shot dead tragically by a vile man!”

Although he had long been prepared, Frederick still got a dizzy spell after receiving the news of his son’s death.

After finally standing still, he immediately roared with reddened eyes, “I want to know what happened! Who did it? Tell me immediately!”

Only then did the bodyguard raise his head and say with great resentment, “It’s Lucas Gray! He suddenly barged into Mr. Scott’s villa and shot him dead!”
