Chapter 53: Questioning to Find Her Whereabouts
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lucas was so fast that he appeared at the top of the stairs in the blink of an eye and strangled Dominic Carter.
Dominic was greatly shocked, and he tried hard to move Lucas’s hand away, but to no avail.
“Y-you…” As soon as he started speaking, Lucas tightened his grip on his neck and interrupted him.
Lucas coldly looked at Dominic’s face that was gradually turning red. “I’m going to make things clear first. If anything really happens to Charlotte, the Carters will die along with her!”
For the first time in his life, Dominic felt the threat of death. Facing the stern and grave-faced young man, he felt that his life was in danger!
There was a trace of fear in Dominic’s cloudy eyes!
Lucas flicked his hand, and Dominic immediately slammed into the wall like a rag.
Covering his throat with his hand, Dominic coughed hard several times before he could catch his breath.
He looked at Lucas with his eyes full of resentment and fear.
Lucas glanced at him, and Dominic immediately looked away in fright. “I-I don’t know where Bryce is.”
“Call him and tell him to bring Charlotte back in one piece. If she’s wounded, I’ll kill him!”
“How dare you!” At the door, a woman glared at Lucas furiously. “If a cheap person like you dares to touch Bryce, I’ll kill you…”
Before she could finish her words, Jordan kicked her downstairs and sent her flying far away. She passed out on the spot without even uttering another word.
“How dare you be rude to Lucas. You’ve got a death wish!” Jordan roared furiously.
Lucas was the god in Jordan’s heart, and he would never allow anyone to insult him.

If Lucas hadn’t instructed him not to kill anyone earlier, this woman would have died just now.
Jordan’s fierceness instantly subdued all those still wanting to resist, and they all looked at Lucas with fear in their eyes.
Dominic looked at Lucas’s expressionless face, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then took out his phone to call Bryce with shaky fingers.
——
At this moment, Bryce was sitting in a club called ‘Luxe’ and smiling lewdly at a burly man with the unconscious Charlotte lying beside them on the couch.
“Mr. Douglas, my cousin is quite pretty, isn’t she?” Bryce asked with a subservient smile.
The person addressed as Mr. Douglas stretched his fingers out and pinched Charlotte’s face. Feeling the tenderness of her flesh, he nodded in satisfaction. “She’s indeed very beautiful. But kid, you’re really ruthless, huh? You’re willing to give your cousin away.”
“It’s all for you, Mr. Douglas. Besides, this girl is really recalcitrant, and I’m just teaching her a lesson,” Bryce hurriedly said.
If not for the fact that he and Charlotte were cousins in name, and it would be inappropriate if word were to get out, he would have bedded Charlotte right away instead of getting Mr. Douglas to do it.
Anyway, his intention was just to take some explicit photos and videos of Charlotte before using them to threaten her into pleading with the Sawyers for him.
“Hmph, not bad. Don’t worry. As long as this girl serves me well tonight, I’ll definitely offer you some benefits in the future,” said Douglas, acting as if he was showing him some kindness.
“Alright, thank you so much, Mr. Douglas! I won’t get in your way then. Just send me the photos and videos later,” Bryce said gleefully.
“Hurry up and get lost.” After saying that, he eagerly rushed to rip off Charlotte’s clothes.

Charlotte suddenly retched and vomited.
She had drunk a lot of alcohol in the bar alone just now, and so she threw up while lying on the couch. Not only did she soil her own clothes, but her vomit also caused the entire private room to be full of the pungent stench of vomit.
“Shit!” Douglas hurriedly dodged in annoyance.
“Mr. Douglas, don’t worry. I’ll get someone to come and clean her up immediately. Please go to another room. I’ll send her to the new room as soon as possible!” Bryce hurriedly got two service attendants to come and take Charlotte away to clean her up.
At this moment, he received a call from Dominic.
“Bryce, where are you? What exactly did you do to Charlotte? Hurry up and bring her back!” Dominic hurriedly yelled as soon as the call connected.
On the other hand, Bryce exclaimed with excitement, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I will complete the task you’ve given me as soon as possible. I’ll get Charlotte to plead with the Sawyers!”
Bryce’s words made Dominic feel like he had plunged into ice while Lucas’s gaze turned icy cold.
“Bastard! Hurry up and bring her back. Do you hear me? Otherwise, both of us will die a miserable death!” Dominic hollered at the top of his lungs.
From the moment Lucas came to his door to ask about Bryce and Charlotte’s whereabouts, Dominic had already had an ominous premonition.
If Bryce really did something horrid to Charlotte, Dominic was certain that Lucas would really kill them!
At this moment, Dominic was truly terrified and could only pray that his grandson hadn’t done anything outrageous yet.
However, Bryce was extremely indignant. He had already reached the crucial point of his plan, and Mr. Douglas was already waiting. He couldn’t just bring Charlotte home.
“Grandpa, Charlotte is with Mr. Douglas at the Luxe. She won’t be back tonight. Just stay out of it. Anyway, I will definitely complete the task and get her to go to the Sawyers!”
After saying that, Bryce hung up directly without waiting for Dominic to continue speaking.
“Hello? Bryce! Bryce!” Dominic shouted into the phone several times and even tried to call him again. Unfortunately, Bryce hung up right away, and he could no longer reach him.
Dominic’s body shivered. He could clearly sense the terrifying aura coming from Lucas.
“Since your grandson is seeking his own death, then you can’t blame me.” Lucas turned around and left.
“Wait!” Dominic was shocked and hurriedly shouted. “Please let him go. He’s still insensible…”
“Insensible?” Lucas turned around and continued in an icy cold voice. “He’s much older than Charlotte and Cheyenne!”
“If anything really happens to Charlotte, wait to collect his corpse!”
Lucas stopped bothering to listen to Dominic’s nonsense and led Jordan straight out of the Carters’ home.
“Head to the Luxe as fast as you can!” Lucas ordered Jordan after getting in the car.
“Yes, Lucas!”
The black Jaguar instantly disappeared into the darkness of the night like a swift cheetah.

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6
