Chapter 157: Fragile
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lucas shook his head in disappointment and said coldly, “Your grandson, Logan Hale, kidnapped my five-year-old daughter. I initially thought of coming here to ask you for an explanation, but given your attitude now, it’s obvious that you people are incorrigible! There’s no need for the Hales to exist anymore, and I won’t show you any mercy either.”
After Lucas said the last sentence, an extremely strong killing aura suddenly erupted from his body. He was like a sharp sword unsheathed, emitting a cold aura that was so menacing that everyone couldn’t help but be fearful.
After being shocked, Bruce burst into laughter as if he had heard the greatest joke. “Show us mercy? I bet you just haven’t gotten a clear idea of the situation! In a moment, I will make you kneel down and beg me to show mercy!”
Bruce had a ferocious expression on his face as he ordered the elite guards surrounding Lucas and Jordan. “Hit him! I want him to kneel down in front of my grandchildren and make amends for his arrogance and haughtiness! I want to crush his limbs bit by bit and make him atone for my grandchildren, Logan and Connor!”
With Bruce’s order, the 20-odd elite guards immediately pulled out their batons, daggers, and other such weapons attached at their waists and closed in on Lucas and Jordan.
The various sharp and cold weapons reflected cold light. There was definitely going to be bloodshed, and people might even die!
“Wow! Hurry up and leave!”
“This is too frightening. Quick, get out of the way! Don’t block me!”
“Oh my god, what should we do?!”
…
The surrounding guests shrieked and retreated to the corners of the banquet hall in panic, fearing that they might become implicated. But no one dared to suggest leaving at this time.

In the center of the large banquet hall, there was a massive vacated area. Lucas, Jordan, and the 20-odd elite guards were standing there.
However, Bruce narrowed his eyes and felt extremely unhappy. Lucas and the young man beside him were clearly surrounded by 20-odd people with lethal weapons. Outnumbered, they looked as though they would be defeated in a single blow. But there was not a single trace of nervousness or fear on the faces of these two people.
Lucas’s face was expressionless, and it was unclear if he was happy or angry. But the aura around him was intimidating.
As for the young man beside him, Jordan, he even grinned sinisterly and stared at the surrounding elite guards. He even rubbed his hands together and seemed to be waiting to taste something delicious.
They’re both psychopaths! Bruce cursed, and his face turned sullen as he shouted, “Beat them up severely!”
The 20-odd people in the hall immediately started moving.
He clearly had the upper hand, but for some reason, Bruce felt uneasy.
Perhaps because of Lucas’s and Jordan’s bizarre expressions, Bruce felt an ominous premonition.
In the past few decades, Bruce often had a sixth sense during strange junctures, and his hunches often allowed him to escape various crises.
At the thought of this, Bruce no longer hesitated and immediately beckoned a Hale next to him. He then whispered into his ear.
After hearing Bruce’s words, that Hale immediately looked astonished and nodded solemnly. He then turned around and dashed out of the banquet hall.
In the middle of the hall, Lucas and Jordan were fearless despite facing the elite guards. They were as fast as lightning, constantly moving and dodging. And within ten seconds, the 20-odd elite guards shrieked and were sent flying!
Some people had their wrists or legs broken, while others had their weapons stabbed into them before they could even touch Lucas and Jordan.

In just over ten seconds, these elite guards were on the ground after smashing through the dozens of tables in the middle of the banquet hall, leaving the floor in a mess.
The baby shower could be said to have been utterly ruined!
The guests hiding in the corners of the hall were dumbfounded as they watched the incredible scene in front of them, feeling as though they were watching an exciting action movie!
Lucas and Jordan were so fast that it was impossible to distinguish between them. All that the people could see were them shuttling among the crowd of black clothes guards as the cracking sounds of bones breaking and tables shattering rang out, followed by bursts of heart-rending shrieks.
Afterward, the black figures were knocked into the air and fell to the ground. They rolled around and were unable to get up again, losing all their combat strength.
The people couldn’t see how terrifying Lucas’s and Jordan’s combat skills were, but the final outcome was obvious to everyone.
A thought surged in everyone’s mind—Jordan’s and Lucas’s power was just too horrifying! Ordinary people couldn’t handle them at all!
They were definitely experts far beyond Hans!
Everyone in the hall was quiet.
Only the sounds of some guards in black with broken limbs, who were rolling around and wailing in pain on the ground, could be heard.
Bruce’s face twitched violently, and he looked truly terrified. Immediately afterward, he suppressed the fear.
The Hale family member immediately returned to Bruce’s side and gestured to him to say that he had already followed his instructions.
Bruce’s eyes were bloodshot, and he was glaring daggers with a maniacal expression.
He waved his hand behind him. In an instant, more than ten people surrounded Lucas and Jordan.
“Are you done? Seriously, this trick again? They’re just a bunch of weaklings! Get someone more impressive to come!” When Jordan saw these people in front of him, he curled his lips in contempt.
Being a martial artist, he could tell at a glance that the physical quality and combat skills of these people that the Hales arranged were inferior to those 20-odd guards in black just now.
“Hmph, ignorant punks. I’ll let you know how impressive they are right now!”
Bruce sneered and made a hand gesture. In an instant, the ten-odd people surrounding Lucas and Jordan all raised their pure black fully automatic pistols!
More than a dozen muzzles aimed at Lucas and Jordan in the middle of the hall!

He is confronted by a crazy, enigmatic and powerful being who sees Dante as his chance to escape his prison.

Join the main protagonist as he is pitted against powerful monsters, Angelic beings, Demons and much more. He makes friends and loyal companions along the way, unfortunately, he also attracts the attention of powerful galaxy-spanning organisations that want to use his power for their own nefarious purposes. Forewarning regarding the start of the story. This story contains graphic descriptions of violence. The first few chapters of the book focus mostly on characters experiences and state of mind. The protagonist doesn't start off as a hero, he's distressed, confused, scared and struggling for survival. LitRPG elements are sprinkled throughout these chapters but aren't initially at the forefront of the story. If you're willing to persevere, the LitRPG elements and significant progression become more heavily intertwined with the story as they become more relevant. Thank you. *** What to expect *** This is a Fantasy Adventure LitRPG. There’s gore, swearing, bad jokes and lots of struggling. (I like to make the character earn his power.)Book 1: Covers the characters' experiences in becoming accustomed to this new reality. There are chapters that focus on survival and hardship. He starts with literally nothing, gradually he accumulates incredible power. He achieves his power through completing various trials and encounters in his journey to find out who he is, and what he wants in this world. There’s a focus on the mental state of the protagonist and an alternating pace of writing to allow character development to occur. The planned second book will kick off at a much faster pace with more action, focus on the system, and delving into the purposes of the Grand trial assigned to the main protagonist.I aim to deliver a world with Interesting characters, Monsters, Magic, Epic battles, Levelling, System interaction, Skill creation, Trials (Quests), Dungeons, Training and more. *** Release ****Chapters will be around 2000-3000+ words long, averaging 2.5k. I’ve almost finished the first book and am trying to edit and polish the chapters that are being released.I aim to release 3-5 chapters a week.Please enjoy.
