As soon as Tyron issued the order, the two bodyguards behind him immediately charged toward Lucas menacingly, and they even began clawing at Lucas's chest and arms to grab him and hold him down.

But just as their hands reached Lucas, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them at lightning speed!

Bang!

Bang!

The figure instantly kicked both bodyguards, blasting them far away. They soon crashed on the ground beside Tyron's feet.

Tyron was almost hit by the bodyguards flying backward. After yelling in horror, he suddenly got up, took two steps back, and hollered, "Who are you?!"

The figure standing in front of Lucas and Cheyenne was a lanky middle-aged man in his forties fiddling with a sharp dagger in his hand.

No one knew where exactly he had come from.

But he had moved as quickly as lightning and managed to send Tyron's strong bodyguards flying with his kicks. His strength and combat abilities were far greater than the bodyguards'.

He seems to be protecting Lucas Gray and Cheyenne Carter. Is this mysterious man who popped up out of nowhere their bodyguard?

At this moment, Kenneth's eyes were full of incredulity as he finally got a clear look at the face of this lanky middle-aged man. He blurted in astonishment, "It's you?!"

His voice was obviously trembling, and clearly, he was terrified of the man opposite him.

"Do you know this person?" Tyron immediately asked.

"He… he's Stanley! Stanley Ray!" Kenneth revealed Stanley's name with great difficulty as his body trembled.

As soon as everyone heard Stanley's name, they were greatly taken aback. There wasn't a need for Kenneth to introduce him at all.

The reason was that they were no stranger to Stanley's name!

Stanley was the top hitman in LA. He used to work for the Brookes and had secretly done a lot of things for them. He would kill all the rivals of the Brookes and those who had offended the family head.

Stanley had impeccable combat skills. And being exceptionally good at stealth and assassination, he was a deadly killer from whose clutches none of his targets had ever been able to escape!

Stanley's help was the reason that the Brookes managed to progress by leaps and bounds to become a top family in LA within just a few short years. Even the Parkers and the Owens, who were previously on par with the Brookes, didn't dare to offend them. Of course, it was mainly because they didn't dare to offend the daunting and formidable killer Stanley!

Even from San Francisco, Tyron had heard about Stanley before and was thoroughly shocked by his abilities. Stanley was just as famous in San Francisco, where many families like the Kingstons had offered staggering amounts of money to poach him, only to end up being rejected by him.

Strictly speaking, turning down the solicitation of a top family like the Kingstons was quite an offensive thing to do. If Stanley were anyone else, the Kingstons would have never let him off. But they didn't end up doing anything to him because they were wary and scrupulous of his terrifying abilities.

Even Tyron's father, Matthew, was once tempted to hire Stanley and even confidently said to Tyron that they would no longer have to rely on the Coles to become a top family that could stand on equal footing with the Coles as long as they had an impressive expert like Stanley!

Unfortunately, Stanley had even turned down the Kingstons' offer, so Matthew could only dispel the thought with disappointment.

Now that they had seen the legendary killer Stanley in the flesh right in front of them, they were undoubtedly nervous and daunted.

At this moment, Tyron felt the exact same fear that Kenneth had within him. Didn't they say this terrifying killer disappeared with the destruction of the Brookes? Why did he suddenly appear here? He's even standing in front of Lucas Gray and his wife. Could they be related in some way?

Tyron, Kenneth, Nikki, and the others were all thinking about it in shock and bewilderment.

"Lucas, how do you want to deal with them? Do you want to keep them alive or dead?" the legendary killer Stanley suddenly said.

But his question almost made Tyron and the others pee in their pants in fear!

For one, they confirmed through Stanley's words that he was indeed on Lucas's side and taking orders from him, which was simply unbelievable!

Second, Stanley asked if Lucas wanted to keep them alive or dead, which meant… that he wanted to kill them all?

But it wasn't impossible for Stanley to kill all of them, given the history of what he had done. Countless helmsmen of top families had died at his hands, let alone scions like them.

All of a sudden, Tyron and Kenneth both looked at each other and saw the fear and panic in each other's eyes.

Meanwhile, Nikki's legs went limp, and she fell to the ground, unable to get up anymore.

At this moment, they were overwhelmed with regret. Had they known earlier that Lucas, whom they thought was a good-for-nothing, had the protection of such a powerful person, they would never have dared to stop him just now and try to fight him!

They didn't end up stopping Lucas and Cheyenne but even ended up getting into trouble with a terrifying killer!

"I just heard you say that you were going to break my limbs and turn me into a cripple," Lucas suddenly said to Tyron slowly.

Tyron shuddered, wishing he could give himself two slaps!

But this was indeed the command he had given to his bodyguards just now, which Stanley had probably heard too. Even if he wanted to deny it, he couldn't!

Tyron stared at his elite bodyguards, whom he had spent a ton of money to hire. They were now lying motionlessly on the ground, unable to get up at all.

Stanley seemed to have merely kicked them just now, but the power of his legs and kicks wasn't something that ordinary people could match up to. The bodyguards were severely injured, and Stanley had completely crippled them!

Tyron began to panic. He gritted his teeth and then dropped to his knees in front of Lucas with a loud thud, all while Kenneth and Nikki watched in astonishment!

"I'm… I'm sorry! I was just joking just now. I definitely don't dare to show you any disrespect!" Tyron was so horrified that he was on the verge of tears.

His bodyguards had been crippled. And now that he was on his own, he was definitely no match for Stanley! If he really ended up provoking Lucas, even his father wouldn't be able to save him despite being in the room next door. By the time Matthew came over, he would probably only get to see Tyron's corpse.

His father had once taught him to choose his battles wisely and to succumb when necessary. In an adverse situation where all the odds were not in his favor, it wasn't an embarrassing thing for a scion like him to kneel down and beg for mercy!

As long as he had the chance to in the future, he would definitely take revenge and pay Lucas back in his own coin a hundredfold…

Kenneth was flabbergasted and dumbstruck to see Tyron kneeling down in front of Lucas without hesitation. His mouth was wide open, and he was stunned for a long time.

But when he recovered from the shock, he immediately followed suit without hesitation and got on his knees too. He said with regret, "Lucas… Lucas, I was too blind and ignorant to have offended you. I totally deserve to die! But please don't kill me. I'll definitely make it up to you. Please give me a chance to make amends and atone for my mistakes! I will never dare to disrespect you again!"
