Chapter 59: Creating a Ruckus
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lucas knew very well that this was definitely not an accident, but rather, someone had deliberately tried to crash into them to kill them!
Given the size and speed of the Hummer just now, they would have either been pushed to the edge of the bridge or knocked over and dropped into the river below if Lucas hadn’t reacted quickly and dodged early!
If he were alone, he could still escape from the danger. But there were two vulnerable females in the car!
They were also the two people he loved the most!
They were his weakness, and no one was allowed to touch them!
A figure dived silently into the river below the bridge and swam to the Hummer that was gradually sinking into the water. He then punched the window to break it and pulled the driver out.
After swimming to the shallow waters hundreds of meters away, the figure finally dragged the driver, who was about to drown and suffocate, ashore.
The figure was Jordan, Lucas’s right-hand man!
Jordan turned the driver’s body face up and stepped on his stomach. Immediately afterward, a large amount of river water mixed with mud and sand surged out of the driver’s mouth and nostrils.
The driver came to and coughed violently, coughing up the water in his stomach.
After the driver was almost done, Jordan stepped hard on his stomach and questioned, “Speak. Who put you to it?”
The driver just had a near-death experience. As he stared at Jordan towering above him, his face turned even paler. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You still don’t want to come clean, huh?” Without hesitation, Jordan picked up the driver by his collar and pressed his head toward the water. “If you don’t say anything, you can stay inside!”

Watching the icy-cold river water getting closer and closer to him, the driver, who just experienced drowning, immediately shrieked in terror and began struggling.
However, Jordan was pressing his hand hard against the driver’s neck, rendering him unable to struggle. Seeing that his head was about to be pressed into the water again, the driver no longer cared about anything else. He simply broke down and started yelling loudly. “Ah! I’ll speak up! Please spare my life…” Teary-eyed, the driver begged for mercy.
Jordan pulled his head up slightly with one hand and ordered, “Speak!”
“I-it was Mr. D-Douglas. Brad Douglas was the one who instructed me to hit that car!”
——
Lucas sent Cheyenne and Amelia back home and watched the two of them enter the house, but he didn’t stay behind.
“Lucas.” Just as Lucas was about to drive away, Cheyenne suddenly called out to stop him.
“Do you have something to do now?” Cheyenne asked hesitantly.
Lucas nodded. “Yes, I have some trivial matters to handle.”
“You were the one who did those things to the Carters recently, right?” Cheyenne asked, her jaws clenched.
Since Cheyenne asked, Lucas did not intend to hide it from her. He nodded. “Yes, but they deserve it.”
Cheyenne hesitated for a while but nevertheless said, “Can you let them off? They must have learned their lesson from what happened lately.”
It was not that Cheyenne was being a saint, but rather, she had grown up with the Carters after all, and those people used to be her relatives. She still cared about their kinship and didn’t want to take things too far.
Lucas looked at Cheyenne affectionately and nodded. “Okay.”
When Lucas was driving and halfway into his journey, Jordan called. “Lucas, the culprit is really that bastard Brad Douglas!”
“Hmph, as expected!” Lucas snorted coldly. He stepped on the gas pedal and sped to the Luxe maniacally. Seems like Brad Douglas hasn’t learned his lesson yet!

Lucas wasn’t fazed by the fact that Douglas was a member of a first-tier family that commanded great power among the gangs in Orange County.
Anyone who dared to harm the two people he cherished the most and put them in danger deserved to die!
At this moment, Douglas was sitting in the Luxe with a menacing expression.
The incident last night made him utterly embarrassed and even left him in great pain, especially in his private area. He couldn’t even sit properly without feeling agony.
“Mr. Douglas, that bastard must be dead now. Even if he didn’t die from the collision, he must have died from drowning. Our people also deliberately created some obstacles on the road so that the rescue vehicles wouldn’t be able to get there in time,” said an underling.
“Hah! It was too easy for him! I heard that his beautiful wife, Cheyenne Carter, was also in the car. It’s quite a pity she died with him. Otherwise, it’d be nice to toy with the former greatest beauty of Orange County!” Douglas gibed as he puffed out a mouthful of a cigar.
“Haha, Mr. Douglas, you can get any kind of woman you want. The one yesterday is Cheyenne’s sister. She’s quite pretty too. If you’d like, I’ll get her immediately!” A few of his underlings were hurriedly trying to curry favor with him.
“Haha, good! Yesterday, that bastard messed things up for me and even incurred my wrath! I must get that woman over here again to vent! Let’s see who’ll try getting in my way again!”
Douglas began laughing without restraint while the people around him egged him on.
At this moment, the black Jaguar stopped at the entrance of the Luxe.
Lucas stepped out of the car, and Jordan, who had been waiting at the side, immediately greeted him. “Lucas, tell me what to do!”
Luxe looked up at the luxurious Luxe clubhouse with an icy cold gaze. “Smash it!”
Upon receiving the order, Jordan immediately charged forward without hesitation and kicked the exquisite door and the stone monument with the word ‘Luxe’ carved on it, smashing them into pieces!
The flying stone debris smashed against the huge tempered glass door with a loud bang, and glass shards scattered all over the floor.
The numerous people in the club were frightened by the sudden noise and started screaming loudly.
Several security officers and henchmen immediately came over. “Who are you people? How dare you make trouble at the club?!”
“Get lost!”
All they received in response was a series of sounds of things breaking.
Jordan broke a stool leg in his hand and smashed everything in sight.
He smashed the opulent bar counter!
He smashed the wine cabinet full of famous and expensive alcohol!
He smashed the dazzling chandelier!
He smashed the tables, windows, chairs, and other furniture!
Everyone in the club frantically scurried out shrieking.
“Damn it! These two are here to cause trouble! Just beat them to death!” a henchman as burly as a tower immediately hollered. More than ten of his subordinates rushed over from all directions.
Lucas snorted coldly. Brad Douglas’s twenty-odd henchmen got their wrists broken yesterday and definitely can’t make it to work today. He probably hired these backup goons from somewhere. They really don’t know any better.
Jordan charged forward and shuttled through the people as quick as a phantom. In less than a moment, ten-odd people had their wrists snapped just like those yesterday!
One of the henchmen scrambled into the private room where Douglas was and exclaimed in a fluster, “Bad news, Mr. Douglas! The two people from yesterday are here again!”

First Iteration
What is a soul ? Is it your true self ? Would you be the same if your soul kept traveling from life to life but your memories faded for each new life you had ? Your education would be different each time, your growing environment would be different, your personality might change. So what is the purpose of the soul ? Mortals never got an answer for this question. Finding an exact definition didn’t matter for them, what they knew was that a soul allowed reincarnation. Even if they lost some memories, getting glimpses of their past lives was more than enough. Getting the possibility of a new life, a better life was what they thrived for. This became an even greater truth as progenitors, the first of their cycle, became scarce. As hundreds of new progenitors were born each century, nowadays, no more than a handful of them appeared every 200 hundreds years. As they represent a new cycle, they embody new opportunities: some progenitors have made kingdoms, others have been their doom. So when four of them appeared at the same place, at the same time, how can it not be perceived as a sign ? A sign that things were about to change…
