Chapter 211: Terrifying
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Stanley’s horrified expression remained on his face just as he was about to leap over and protect Lucas. He discovered to his astonishment that Lucas, who was just standing near him, had suddenly vanished!
Immediately afterward, Stanley felt a force tugging at his collar. His body couldn’t help but propel into the air as the scene in front of him began to spin and become blurry.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
…
The nearly 30 pistols fired at the same time with gunshots that resembled the sounds of beans exploding. All of a sudden, the space at the entrance of the Brooke residence was awash with the sounds of gunshots, making people’s hearts palpitate.
But when the sound of the gunshots stopped, everyone looked over at the entrance, only to see Lucas and his men, who should have been unable to escape, standing right there unscathed!
Lucas still looked as composed as ever. But Stanley, whom he was lifting by the collar, had an indescribable look of astonishment on his face.
The Brookes looked at each other and blinked, dumbfounded and shell-shocked.
The elite henchmen who fired shots from their pistols just now looked as though they had seen a ghost.
If not for the deep bullet holes left in the ground, the surrounding walls, and the tree trunks, they would have suspected that they were dreaming or wondered if there was something wrong with the guns in their hands.
But how exactly did Lucas Gray and his men manage to remain unharmed despite the blizzard of bullets?
“How exactly did you dodge the bullets?” Andrew was stunned and furious as he asked this question.
Lucas naturally wouldn’t answer his question. He simply smiled faintly and said, “Since you guys are done, it’s my turn now.”
He raised his hand and waved it. Countless rays of green light darted out of his hand. Numerous pine needles that were as thin as needles stabbed into the eyes of the henchmen holding guns!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
“Ahhh! My eyes!!”
“Waaa!”
“Argh! It hurts!”
…
Miserable shrieks filled the air.
The gunmen dropped their pistols one by one and covered their eyes with their hands while shrieking in misery.
“They’re… pine needles!”
Finally, someone saw what was stuck into the eyes of the gunmen, and they immediately shrieked in disbelief.
Their jaws dropped in shock as they stood rooted to the ground, dumbfounded and suspecting if they were still dreaming.
The flying needles and hidden weapons used to hurt people only appeared in action movies!
In particular, the pine needles Lucas threw were plucked from the pine tree at the entrance just now!
With a wave of his hand, he threw out dozens of pine needles and accurately shot them into the eyes of the thirty people. This wasn’t something that normal people could do.
All the Brookes, except for those covering their eyes and rolling around, were dead silent!
Andrew’s face was twitching, and he felt as if his body had plunged into a freezing pond. Even his teeth were chattering as he quivered.
Lucas’s move was simply too intimidating, extraordinary, and terrifying!
The densely packed bullets hadn’t been able to hurt him at all, and no one could see clearly how he had managed to dodge the bullets so swiftly!
In fact, he had not only dodged the bullets, but he had also carried Stanley in his hand, allowing him to be unscathed.
The even more terrifying thing was that he had merely used pine needles to accurately poke them blind in the eye!
Besides, he had launched not only one but dozens of pine needles at the same time. None of them missed!
It… it was completely beyond their imagination!
Lucas was simply… beyond human!
Even Stanley was looking at Lucas in astonishment.
Just now, Lucas grabbed him by the collar and dodged the bullets. But due to the fact that Lucas was too quick, he could only see a blurry scene before his eyes while the loud and dense sounds of gunshots rang in his ears. But he didn’t get shot by any of them.

When his feet landed on the ground, he was amazed to find that he actually remained unscathed in the face of so many bullets!
The scene of Lucas’s flying needles piercing the gunmen blind had utterly frightened Stanley!
At this moment, Stanley finally understood that Lucas’s abilities had already far surpassed his. They were completely beyond his imagination!
Jordan was the only person among the people present who wasn’t surprised by Lucas’s terrifying skills and strength.
Looking at the shocked and horrified Andrew, Lucas suddenly smiled and walked toward him.
Andrew watched as Lucas approached him step by step. It was almost as if he was looking at a terrifying beast as he started trembling violently. If not for his pride keeping him hanging in, he would have probably turned limp and dropped to his knees in front of Lucas.
Lucas walked up to Andrew and said with a faint smile, “Mr. Brooke, as I said just now, you’re even more foolish than I imagined. What do you think?”
Andrew’s heart quivered, and he felt as if he had taken a strike to his head.
Yeah! I’m just a fool!
I clearly knew long ago that Lucas Gray isn’t a simple person, but I still self-righteously disregarded him and repeatedly offended him. I even tried to exploit and kill him!
I’m really foolish!
The sense of pride within Andrew’s heart vanished, and he could no longer hold on. He dropped to his knees with a loud thud and knelt in front of Lucas with a despondent look of despair on his face.
“Mr. Gray, Mr. Gray, I know that I was wrong! I was blind and foolish to have offended you! I-I’m willing to pledge allegiance to you on behalf of the Brookes, and I vow to never offend you again! Please give us a chance!”
Kneeling on the ground, Andrew pleaded desperately in pain and agony.
Lucas said indifferently. “Your grandson harbored designs on my wife previously, but I didn’t pursue the matter and instead gave you a chance to serve me. Yet you guys didn’t behave and even betrayed me time and time again. You guys ruined the chance you were given. Do you think I’d give you another chance to betray me?”
“No, no, no, we won’t dare to do it again! Mr. Gray, I really know my mistakes. As long as you’re magnanimous enough to forgive us once, we’ll definitely willingly become your subordinates and do everything you want us to in the future!”
Andrew repeatedly promised while looking at Lucas with his wrinkly eyes. He wished he could take out his heart and show it to Lucas to prove his sincerity.
At this moment, Andrew was indeed truly full of regret!
After witnessing Lucas’s terrifying strength, he immediately understood that even without his incredible background and the power of the military, Lucas would still be able to destroy the Brookes with his individual strength.
Only now did he finally understand why Stanley had told him that they had offended someone they shouldn’t have and that they would soon vanish.
He now understood that Stanley was referring to Lucas!
Unfortunately, he didn’t believe it at all at the time, and now it was too late for regrets!

Journey Towards Dao
What is infinite, possessing no beginning nor end? What is imperceptible, appearing both indistinct yet intelligible? What is indecipherable, unable to be interpreted or understood? What is quintessential, unfathomable, eternal? What is Dao? The main focus of this story is detailed cultivation, professions, and combat systems. It's a slice-of-life with a cultivation system that delves into psychological aspects (including minor psychopathic/sociopathic elements). Protagonist is the low-key sort. Be prepared for a slower start. This is my first ever experience writing fiction. I'm trying my best to put out quality content initially, but my main goal is to improve. Comments, ratings, and reviews are greatly appreciated!

The Primordial
With one goal fueling him, he broke through the final barrier, reaching the apex of power and regaining that which was once lost. Trying to find a new beginning, he reforged himself anew as he awoke to memories of a long forgotten past. Memories that intersected with his new reality. His invincible soul now unchained, surprises await him as he begins his new jouney in an unknown land. I'm just writing this for fun, but i'll never drop it. This won't be something short, as I have the very long term in mind, but I'm a total noob to writing, so I most likely won't release chapters very often, at least until I really get the hang of it. But, the chapters will always be several thousand words long. At the minimum 2k, maximum like 6k... Pretty big variations, sorry. If you like it, great. If you don't, that's understandable. Regardless, if you have a read, I'd appreciate feedback for areas you think I should improve on, whether it's the use of some words or how I should write something or WHATEVER. I'm open to anything, good or bad, because with your help, it'll help make this story better. **DISCLAIMER** So you don't waste your time, I want to let you know what you're getting into, because I like knowing ahead of time before I read something. This might appear like a Xianxia novel, but it's not. It only starts that way. This is a western fantasy world and setting that many of you are familiar with. The beginning chapters might be a bit of an info dump. Some of it might seems superfluous, but a lot of information is relevant to the story. The first few chapters might also seem rushed, but I'll try to keep it exclusive to those. This is a cliche, OP MC story with the typical harem, but other than the quick start, everything else will be gradual. There will be romance, and probably many moments at that, but don't expect anything TOO detailed. If you want something really steamy, look elsewhere. References and throwbacks to stuff most likely. The setting won't be really dark or really light. Middleground, I guess. The MC is far from a young kid, but he won't totally reflect his age. I don't plan on discarding info, abilities or characters that you KNOW should come back and be around. I see it a lot and it sort of bugs me haha... but I could have oversights, I dunno. As I said, I'm a noob. That's it, really. If you're interested, welcome to my world!
