Chapter 321: Not Releasing A Single One

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Looking sullen and grief-stricken, Kyle said, “I think everyone knows about the auction we Kingstons held in Club Splendor tonight. During the auction, a young man named Lucas Gray got into a conflict with Liam over a beauty put up for auction as the finale item. I tried to mediate the conflict, but I didn’t expect Lucas Gray to suddenly get physical and kill Liam a second before he left the auction hall!

“I wanted to nab the culprit and bring him here to take revenge for Liam, but Lucas Gray is extremely good at fighting. Even the guards working for my family couldn’t hold him back, and even I almost got killed by him. If he hadn’t been deterred by the power of my family at the last moment, I would have died like Liam.”

As Kyle spoke, he raised his head to reveal the purplish-green welts on his neck from being strangled by Lucas.

Pierre Wallace and the other Wallaces were initially somewhat doubtful about Kyle’s words, but the fingerprint-shaped bruises on his neck were indeed real. Only then did they believe that even Kyle was almost killed by the person who murdered Liam. Clearly, the murderer was indeed brutal and menacing!

“Lucas Gray? As far as I know, there isn’t a top family in Orange County that bears the family name Gray. Which city is his family from?” Pierre asked with a frown.

The Wallaces began pondering over it, but none of them could figure out if there was a powerful family with the name Gray.

Kyle shook his head. “Lucas Gray isn’t a member of a powerful family from another city. I heard that he’s from Orange County, and he’s actually quite well-known here too.”

“What?! He’s from Orange County?” The Wallaces were extremely surprised.

“Could it be that this Lucas Gray you mentioned is that infamous good-for-nothing son-in-law of the Carters, who married Cheyenne Carter, who was formerly known as the most beautiful girl in the county, due to a scandal?” A few of the younger Wallaces blurted because they suddenly found the name ‘Lucas Gray’ extremely familiar.

Kyle nodded and said with a look of agony, “Yes, it’s him! I didn’t expect a lowly live-in son-in-law like him to actually have the audacity to attack Liam and me.”

“Damn it! Lucas Gray is nothing but a piece of garbage that everyone despises. How dare he provoke and challenge the Wallaces?!” After hearing about Lucas’s past, several young men of the Wallace family began cursing and clamoring about immediately going to settle scores with Lucas.

“There’s also one more thing I think I should tell you guys. Lucas Gray seems to be very close to the Hales, which is also one of the four most powerful families of Orange County. At the auction venue earlier, Bruce Hale, the head of the Hale family, kept defending Lucas Gray. If Bruce Hale hadn’t tried to stop me, Lucas Gray would probably have been caught by my family guards!” Kyle deliberately told the Wallaces about an incident he had fabricated.

After all, at the time, all the other guests in the auction venue had been made to leave, and Lucas, Kyle, Russell, Liam, and the Kingstons’ ten-odd experts were the only ones around.

Apart from them, no one saw what had happened, so even if Kyle made things up, no one could verify the claims he made nor expose his lies.

“The Hales, Bruce Hale!” There was anger written all over Pierre’s old and wrinkled face. He gritted his teeth and bellowed, “I, Pierre Wallace, swear that the Wallaces will steer clear from the Hales from now on and never be on good terms with them again!”

With a subtle glint in his eyes, Kyle asked concernedly again, “Mr. Wallace, how do you guys plan to deal with that bastard Lucas Gray? My family can also give you some help.”

Pierre glanced at Kyle and said coldly, “This is a feud between the Wallaces and him, so we will naturally be the ones to take revenge! We won’t bother you for now. Please take your leave, Mr. Kingston!”

Seeing that Pierre was austere and upset, Kyle could only purse his lips and leave as he was told. “In that case, I’ll get going now. I offer you my deepest condolences. Goodbye!”

After Kyle left the Wallaces residence with both his personal bodyguards, Pierre’s face turned sullen, and he snorted furiously. “Hah, Kyle Kingston isn’t a decent person either! Trust him to think that I’d fall for his pretense and his tricks. He’s such a greenhorn!”

Pierre’s eldest son, Bryant Wallace, was standing right beside him. When he heard what Pierce said, he couldn’t help being stunned. “Dad, are you saying that that brat was lying to us on purpose just now?”

“Hmph, he might not necessarily be lying about everything, but there must be some falsehoods! Why would Liam get into a conflict with that Lucas Gray out of nowhere, and how did things escalate to such an extent?

“From what you’ve said, Lucas Gray should only be a lowly live-in son-in-law of the Carters. How could he have had the guts to do something like that? This matter must have something to do with that punk Kyle Kingston!

“Besides, the Kingstons used Club Splendor as the venue for their auction of some secretive items tonight, which they clearly stated are to be kept hidden from the public eye. So the Kingstons must have sent plenty of their guards and henchmen to guard the place both inside and outside!

“In the end, the altercation broke out on our property, but none of our subordinates were allowed to stay at the venue. As a result, we don’t even know what exactly happened at the auction! The Kingstons can’t shirk responsibility for this!”

The more Pierre thought about it, the angrier he got. He ordered Bryant coldly, “Send someone to investigate immediately. We must get to the bottom of the truth! I don’t care who Lucas Gray is. As long as he’s related to Liam’s death, we won’t spare him!”

After hearing what Pierre said, Bryant, Liam’s biological father, exclaimed ruthlessly with reddened eyes, “Yes! We’ll definitely avenge Liam and get ahold of every single person who caused his death!”

Soon, the news of Liam Wallace’s murder spread like wildfire throughout Orange County.

After all, the Wallaces were one of the four most powerful families in Orange County, and the victim this time was the grandson of the Wallaces’ helmsman. The news was especially shocking because it was said that Liam had been killed during a brawl.

Someone actually dared to lay their hand on a direct descendant of a top family in Orange County. How brazen!

Bruce received the news early the next morning, and his eyelids couldn’t help but twitch.

The first thing that came to his mind was the words that Lucas said to Grace outside Club Splendor yesterday—”Liam Wallace will never pester you again.”

Bruce was almost 100% certain that Liam’s death was related to Lucas.

After hesitating for a long time, Bruce nevertheless called Lucas. “Mr. Gray, the top families of Orange County have received a message this morning regarding Liam Wallace’s... demise.”

At this moment, Lucas was on the way to the hospital to visit William after sending Cheyenne to work and dropping Amelia off at the kindergarten.

Upon receiving Bruce’s call, he immediately understood what Bruce was worried about and thus said straightforwardly, “I killed Liam Wallace yesterday in front of Kyle Kingston.”
