Chapter 176: Who Is Malicious?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Sarah Hadley looked at Lucas furiously and hollered, “You good-for-nothing, you’ve been kicked out of the family long ago, so you don’t have the right to set foot on the Carters’ turf again. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get out of here.”
The Carters behind her also stood out one after another and cursed, “Exactly! Hurry up and get out of here!”
“Loser, get lost before you dirty our turf!”
When Jordan heard their insults, his gaze turned gloomy, and he roared, “Try insulting him again! Let me see how tough your bones are!”
Realizing that the terrifying young man was really Lucas’s subordinates, the Carters hurriedly fell silent and dared not insult Lucas anymore.
Lucas couldn’t be bothered to talk to these cowards either. He simply shouted at the villa in the middle, “Dominic Carter, get your ass out here, old fogy!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished.
The loser live-in son-in-law whom the Carters had disowned actually dared to call him, the head of the Carter family, by his full name. In their opinion, it was seriously brazen!
After hearing Lucas’s disrespectful words, Dominic, who was standing in front of the window on the second floor of the villa and secretly watching the events unfold, flew into a rage, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
“Lucas Gray, you’re really brazen. After the Carters kicked you out, you still have the audacity to show up at our doorstep.” Dominic walked out of the villa with a gloomy and uncertain gaze as he glared at Lucas.
“You behaved in such an unruly manner at the Hale residence yesterday and caused such huge trouble. Not only did you hurt Bryce’s head, but you even pressed Connor Hale’s head into the bowl of soup in front of everyone. Hmph, just because the Hales let you off yesterday, it doesn’t mean they’ll let you off the hook again today! Just you wait. The Hales will exact revenge on you! Once they’re here, I’ll see what you can do then!”

Dominic had just contacted one of the Hales’s stewards, Anthony Holmes, and was now hoping that he would send a few more powerful experts over to cripple the arrogant Lucas!
“Hah, the Hales? I’ll see who else will come over at this time,” Lucas said nonchalantly.
All of the Hales’ direct descendants had all been taken away last night, and there were no senior members at all. But since the news had been sealed, the Carters hadn’t learned about it yet.
“Lucas Gray, don’t think that you’re that powerful just because you’ve got some martial arts skills! The Hales just let you off for the time being because they didn’t want you to ruin their joyous banquet! Don’t think you’re that powerful. Once the people sent by the Hales are here, I will definitely tell them truthfully how contemptuous you are toward them!” Dominic felt that Lucas absolutely wouldn’t be able to fight against the Hales.
Beside them, Jordan snorted with laughter and said in contempt, “Dominic Carter, you’ve lived for decades, but why are you becoming more and more backward? You’re just like a kid. After losing a fight, you went to complain to someone. Do you want the Hales to be your father? Well, I doubt they’ll want you.”
“You!” Dominic was so angry that his face flushed red as he pointed at Jordan and Lucas. He could only say resentfully, “Hmph, when the Hales come later, I’ll see how arrogant you two can still be!”
Lucas sneered. “Since you want to wait for the Hales to come, go right ahead. But before that, I still have something to settle with you.”
He raised his chin at Jordan, who immediately understood. He then strode toward Lucas’s Jaguar and took out a large cardboard box.

Jordan hurriedly tore the box. Immediately afterward, five red marbled urns were placed in front of Dominic.
At first, Dominic and the Carters couldn’t tell what it was. They merely thought that Lucas had asked Jordan to throw the box in front of them for some inexplicable reason. But after Dominic saw the patterns and words carved on the urns, his expression changed instantly. He said through gritted teeth, “Lucas Gray, how dare you send so many urns to us? What are your intentions? Are you cursing us to die?”
The other Carters were also extremely indignant as they accused, “Who would send urns to someone? You’re too vicious!”
“Exactly! He’s clearly trying to curse us! This is too malicious and vicious!”
“Lucas Gray, are you even human? How dare you send such things to us?!”
…
The Carters all seemed to have righteous indignation, except Sarah, whose heart contracted violently with a nervous look on her face.
Lucas sneered. “Wow, you also know it’s malicious to send urns. These urns were sent to us by one of you, so I’m just returning them to their original owners!”
Many Carters seemed rather puzzled, including Dominic, who frowned. But Sarah seemed even more nervous.
Lucas saw all their expressions and then winked at Jordan.
Jordan opened the trunk of the Jaguar and threw out two limp people, flinging them onto the spot in front of Dominic. They landed right on top of the urns.
When the two people crashed onto the ground, there were no other sounds except two loud thuds.
All the Carters turned to look curiously at these two people curiously, whose life or death was unknown.
One of them was tall and sturdy and seemed to be of mixed ethnicity. None of the Carters knew who he was, but they were very familiar with the other one. It was Bryce Carter, the next successor of the family!
“Bryce! Bryce, are you alright!?!” After Sarah saw Bryce’s face, she was so shocked that she turned pale and suddenly leaped forward to hug his body while yelling loudly.
The Carters were also extremely surprised. How did Bryce… end up in Lucas Gray’s trunk? He even got thrown out in a bloodied state…
Standing right in front, Dominic was infuriated when he saw his beloved grandson being thrown in front of him like a dead dog. He roared, “Lucas Gray! What have you done to my grandson?!”

Nowhere Stars
For as long as anyone can remember, humans have been preyed upon by Harbingers, living nightmares which devour dreams and passions and souls, and defended by Keepers. These children alone hold the gift of magic, the wild and wondrous ability to impose emotions over reality and empower their frail bodies with the splendor of their souls. Under their protection, humanity was able to survive and thrive. While modern Keepers have come to enjoy a social position somewhere between celebrities and religious idols, very few accept the mantle simply to be a hero. The Messengers of the Goddess Claiasya, spirits charged with awakening the magic in suitable souls, promise that Keepers who consume and purify enough Harbingers will obtain the power to change themselves or the world in nearly any way they wish. It’s for this purpose that Liadain Shiel, a young girl born terminally ill, throws herself into life as a Keeper when her opportunity comes, hoping against hope to rewrite her fate and save her life while she still can. But magic wants its wielders to grow and change, not simply continue living, and the secrets swimming beneath the sea and behind the sky have lives and designs of their own. Nowhere Stars is an ongoing fantasy-horror web novel about traumacore magical girls, nightmares clothed in ribbons and lace, alienation from reality, and broken children twisting the world into whatever shape they must to make their dreams come true. This is a mirror of Nowhere Stars' home site, located here. Updates will be posted at the same time, currently once a week on Wednesdays. Support Nowhere Stars on Top Web Fiction here!

Cutting to Life: an NPC LitRPG (Battle Royale)
Nikola is an NPC in The World of Wills, a video game where players can feel sensations as if they were truly there. She leads a life of bloodshed and murder - that is, until one day she wakes up sapient. Just as she begins thinking real, non-scripted thoughts and making connections, she and the players in the game are told that if they die in the game, they die in real life - and it's time to get killing. But what of Nikola, the emerging AI consciousness? How does she win in a game that can only end in her being wiped from existence at the end of it all? - Updates Mondays and Fridays. Cutting to Life is a slow-burn LitRPG with a villainous (later anti-hero, or maybe still villainous, haha) female lead.It's told from the perspective of Nikola, an NPC within the World of Wills who's become sapient and is now mysteriously able to play the game as a PC. It's quite light for a LitRPG, but the system and stats become more of a focus later when Nikola herself can access them.The story gradually builds into a Battle Royale where the players' lives are on the line (if you die in the game, you die in real life), and only one party of savvy adventurers can win. They'll have to spend their time and stats wisely as dungeons promising rare gear float down from the sky - but is a legendary sword worth killing someone for, knowing they'll stay dead forever? - This story is told in third person, past tense.- This is a slow-burn LitRPG that spends a lot of time establishing its setting and characters, because I believe this will make for a better payoff in the end. As such, the Battle Royale doesn't start until chapter 30 or so.- Chapters are anywhere between 800 words and 3000 words long.- Book cover by Vixeona.Cutting to Life is also being posted on SPB and Scribble Hub.Thank you sincerely for reading.
