Chapter 2: Where is Lucas Smith?
1608 Words
“I'm Adam West, I came to see a friend from the Smith family.”
After saying those words, Adam continued walking towards the villa.
“What, are you crazy? I don't know any Adam West, and if I still did, I don't think you have any friends in the Smith family.”
Despite his rank, Adam decided to wear casual and even somewhat humble clothing, so Richard concluded that Adam was nothing more than an outsider.
Richard tried to get back in Adam's way but was stopped by Jason's big back, which began to follow his master.
“Boy you are lucky, the lord doesn't want to rain blood today”. With a piercing look Jason spoke.
“Sir, do you want me to go and take out the leaders of the Smith family one by one?”
Adam shook his head then spoke, “Jason, do you know when people are most afraid?”
“When are they about to die?” replied Jason without quite knowing.
“No, it's when they just want to die, more they can't do it.”
With such dark words, the duo moved closer to the entrance of the villa but were stopped by Richard who came screaming.
“!!! You unusual one, how dare you come in here? Today you have signed your death ticket!!!” Richard shouted behind them.
After gaining some confidence, he decided to confront the duo again.
There is no one who can take on the Smith family and get out alive!
Richard thought as he continued to shout.
But calming the atmosphere, a soft, feminine voice spoke:
“Richard, is everything all right? I heard screaming, I already took out the dishes for the party, we just have to wait for grandma.”
A beautiful woman had come out of the villa, she was wearing a prestigious golden dress which reached her knees.
Perhaps Adam would have been surprised by the beauty, of course, if this was the first time he had seen her.
“Madam, these two have suddenly appeared and said they know someone here, they are intruders!”
Richard approached the woman with great respect.
The girl looked Adam and Jason up and down, then spoke:
“Please leave. Don't look for trouble” After saying that, the girl turned. It was ready to leave.
“You are Jessica Patrick, right?” Adam said with a cold look on his face.
Hearing the words, the woman turned around.
“Who are you?” she asked, looking a little nervous. Adam's eyes were piercing her.
Jessica remained silent while his sharp and threatening eyes kept looking at her.
Yes, there was no doubt about it, this was the woman Lucas had shown her in that picture, Jessica Patrick.
“You, who the f**ck are you? Feeling threatened, Jessica became defensive.
“Hey, control your tone b***h, the one who is asking the questions is the gentleman, then you answer!”
The one who answered was Jason. He was slowly losing his temper.
After hearing Jason's words, Jessica calmed down and decided to ask another question:
“Who are you looking for?”
“I'm looking for Lucas Smith.”
But to her surprise, the name that came out of the boy's mouth was one she didn't want to remember.
Both his face and the faces of Richard and the others were distorted.
“How did that man just say that name?”
Lucas Smith's name had not been mentioned since his death, but this was not because he had been forgotten.
It was not allowed!
The Smith matriarch had forbidden everyone to say that name. Anyone who did would receive punishment.
“No... There is no Lucas Smith here...! Richard, take care of them!” Looking nervous, Jessica gave the order.
“Understood, ma'am, guys get him!” Raising her hand in signal, several guards surrounded Adam.
But he didn't show a hint of fear in his eyes.
“I must count your tongue, I can't let you go around saying forbidden things, excuse my rudeness!”
Richard exclaimed confidently, it seemed that the numerical advantage made him feel superior.
If this rumor reached the eyes of the great matriarch, he would be in big trouble.
“Show no mercy guards to finish them off!” At Richard's command, one of them approached Adam.
“Bang!”
But what he found in his path was Jason's fist, which made him eat dirt.
“Come closer, today it's just corpses!”
With that shout Jason had scared everyone, he was already big and imposing. With the previous show of strength, he only saw the trained guards as mere kittens.
Richard had also been frightened, but he could not show weakness now. “Come on, there are many, and there are only two. Let's finish...”
Before he could finish reciting his order, a slap had been directed at Richard, it sent him flying.
“S**ht!” Was the only thing Richard could say to receive such a blow.
If the guardians were scared before, they were now grounded, they had just seen a human go flying from a slap.
Was that even possible?
“Leave it Jason, we have better things to do”, Adam said, with a cold tone, and kept walking.
“Hey, you can't come in here, Lucas Smith is dead, there's nothing to look for here!” Jessica was trying to restrain Adam with her delicate hands.
But this did not amuse Adam, who turned around in a threatening manner.
Slap!
The sound rang out cleanly, Adam had hit Jessica, who had fallen to her knees covering her mouth.
Adam only used a little force and even so, Jéssica blood did not stop flowing from her lips.
Out of mockery or pity, after Adam wiped his hand with a handkerchief Jason had given him, he threw it in the girl's face.
“Take that hit from Charles. If I find out you're involved in the past, from me, it won't just become a slap.”
After saying such stinging words, Adam proceeded to enter the villa.
“S**it, you son of a b**tch you just walked into the Smith family home, and you just hit the missus, today we will cut out your tongue and you will die!”
Having regained his composure, Richard cursed out loud, this one was planning to call for more help.
But at his words Jason turned and in a few seconds was back near Richard.
“Could you repeat, who is going to die today?” Jason looked at Richard's figure, he had talked a lot of s*hit about his master.
“... Am I making a mistake? If that fool goes and says Lucas' name in front of the matriarch, having his tongue ripped out will be the least of it.”
Even though he had taken a hard blow earlier, Richard tried to act tough.
“Then I'm warning you if...”
Before he could finish speaking, Jason's large hand had held his neck, lifting him up.
“The Smith family? They are but flies with some power, and said flies landed on my lord's food.”
Richard was trying to struggle but to no avail, Jason had him completely overpowered.
“Then listen well, if the Smith family's actions cause the lord to take action, prepare to see this village a graveyard.”
Richard's eyes began to water as he felt an intense pain in his mouth, then Jason released the man.
“Since you repeat a lot about cutting out tongues, I did you the favor.”
Richard couldn't even speak. He was in complete shock. Jason only used a little force, but his entire tongue had been destroyed.
“Feel you kindly, my lord decided to investigate the Smith's on his own, but if he had wanted to they would already be in the grave.”
Leaving those words, Jason entered the villa. Richard's cries of agony soon echoed.
Although the official wedding was ten days away, this did not stop the Smiths from celebrating.
Adam had entered, he noticed the large dining table, on it were several important people all invited by the Smiths.
Apparently, it was an important meeting.
The best decorated seat in the center was for the matriarch, Lucas' grandmother.
Although her clothes were different, no one noticed Adam's presence.
He approached the center; there were spiritual tablets for the deceased.
Adam couldn't help but squint. There was no spirit tablet for his friend.
“Come on brother-in-law, let's have a drink, now that we are family you must take care of me” Fredick Patrick, Jessica's brother, celebrated happily.
But just as he was about to toast the wedding, he saw a stranger.
“Hey, who the f*ck are you!”
With Fredick's shout, everyone turned to Adam. At last, he had been spotted.
“I guess the receptionist is bad. Didn't I inform them of my arrival?” Although Adam's words could be taken as a joke, his cold stare and serious tone gave a different impression.
Adam's eyes moved to a man in a silver suit. This was Marcus Smith, the brother of Lucas.
“You're Marcus Smith, aren't you? ”
Marcus couldn't help but frown. Obviously, many people knew him. He was the oldest young man in the Smith family.
But the tone was not one of respect, it was hostile.
“Do you have business with me?” asked Marcus confidently.
Adam gave him a sharp look before answering:
“No, you have business with me.”
