Chapter 712: Complete Embarrassment

Gaia was astounded, and he immediately wanted to turn around and aim his pistol at Lucas again.
But as soon as he moved, his hand was suddenly empty, and the pistol he was holding was gone!
Lucas tilted his head slightly and fiddled with the pistol, his battle spoil, with a trace of playfulness in his eyes.
Gaia was astonished!
Lucas had snatched the pistol away from him, but he hadn’t been able to see Lucas’s movements once again!
At this moment, the people in the venue finally realized what had happened, and everyone’s faces showed shocked expressions!
Lucas had actually dodged the bullet with his reflexes!
Besides, he had not only dodged the bullet, but he had even appeared behind Gaia in a flash and snatched the pistol away from him!
I-Is this the speed that humans can have?
Vince, who had been sitting composedly in the master seat, finally had a drastic change in expression.
People who could dodge bullets at a close range of ten meters did exist, but none of them were as young as Lucas!
Even in the whole of DC, there wasn’t an expert like him!
For a moment, Vince couldn’t help having great scruples for Lucas.
If he couldn’t find a way to get rid of Lucas as soon as possible, it would definitely become an enormous problem for him in the future!
At the same time, Lance, sitting beside Vince, couldn’t help clenching his fists with panic within him.
The Kingstons had long formed a deep feud with Lucas, and he had even deliberately targetted Lucas today. They could be considered archenemies now.
The more powerful Lucas appeared, the more threatening he was, which wasn’t something that Lance hoped to see.
Meanwhile, Herman’s face was extremely gloomy.
He totally didn’t expect that Lucas could actually dodge the bullet fired by Sharpshooter Gaia and even disarm him.
After losing the Walkers’ strongest martial artist, Freddie, Gaia became Herman’s last and greatest trump card, who had given Herman the confidence to kill Lucas.
But Lucas’s actions were like a hard slap on Herman’s face, making his assertion of dominance and attempt to recruit Lucas seem ridiculous.
“Who… who are you?” Gaia’s hand, which had always been quite steady, was already trembling slightly.
Having lost his pistol, he no longer posed a threat to Lucas. Instead, he was now at Lucas’s mercy because Lucas could shoot him dead at any time.
Seeing Lucas aiming the black muzzle at him, he immediately got on his knees with a loud thud and begged frantically, “Please don’t kill me! I-I was just following orders. As long as you spare my life, I’ll never provoke you again!”
At this moment, Gaia could no longer care about his dignity as a man and sharpshooter, as well as his reputation. In the face of death, Gaia just wanted to survive. There was nothing else he cared about at this point!
Gaia’s kneeling was like another heavy slap on Herman’s face.
Gaia was a powerful subordinate of the Walkers, and he had spinelessly gotten on his knees in front of Lucas and begged for mercy. Herman was terribly embarrassed and disgraced, especially since this was happening right in front of so many other top-tier families!
Lucas fiddled with the pistol in his hand and glanced down at Gaia kneeling in front of him. He said without any fluctuations in his emotions, “If you want me to let you off, you have to give me a reason to do so.”
Gaia began racking his brains before saying flusteredly, “Mr. Gray, I’m a very sharp marksman. If you’re willing to spare my life, I’ll be your personal bodyguard, or your assassin, or whatever you want me to be!”
With a faint smile, Lucas said, “Bodyguard? Do you think I need a bodyguard like you? Also, you’re now a subordinate of the Walkers, yet you’re pledging allegiance to me. Do you think I can trust you?”
A sharpshooter paid a hefty salary by the Walkers actually turned his back on them and surrendered to another person. Who would trust him and believe that he was loyal?
At least, Lucas would never employ him.
Gaia panicked and hurriedly said, “I-I mean it! No matter what you want me to do, I will do exactly as you say, Mr. Gray! All I ask is that you spare my life!”
“Is that so?” Lucas said noncommittally and suddenly turned to look at Nate next to him.
Nate’s body trembled, and his heart was full of horror and panic. He wished he could vanish immediately!
“How about you kill him first?” Lucas pointed at Nate with his chin indifferently.
Gaia was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized that this was the task Lucas gave him. Once he killed Nate, Lucas would let him off!
At the thought of it, Gaia said loudly with joy written all over his face, “Yes, Mr. Gray!”
He stood up from the floor, already holding another compact pistol that he had just pulled out from his boot.
Lucas had long noticed Gaia’s move, but he merely smiled without saying anything.
Gaia raised his arm and aimed the gun at the petrified Nate. “Nate Walker, although you are a Walker, since you’ve offended Mr. Gray, you deserve to die!”
He pressed his finger against the trigger with a cold, murderous intent on his face.
“Gaia, how dare you?!” Seeing that Gaia had defected from the Walkers and followed Lucas’s instructions to hold Nate at gunpoint, Herman lost his temper.
Gaia gritted his teeth. “Mr. Walker, don’t blame me for turning on you. Since things have come to this, do you still want to protect this incompetent grandson of yours?”
Herman glared at Gaia angrily and rebuked, “Even if he’s incompetent, he’s still my grandson! Don’t you forget who supported you for so many years and gave you a generous salary to live a comfortable life!”
Gaia sneered. “You’re wrong to say that, Mr. Walker. I didn’t take your money for nothing, and I didn’t sell myself to you either! Now, I’m loyal to Mr. Gray, and you no longer have the right to order me around!”
With that, he stopped answering and simply aimed his gun at Nate’s head. He was just waiting for Lucas’s order.
Upon seeing the terrifying muzzle that looked like a black hole, Nate was so frightened that he wet his pants. His legs went limp, and he fell to the floor, unable to stand up at all.
“Lu—Mr. Gray! Please let me off! I know I was wrong before, and I shouldn’t have smashed your car at the Cole residence, much less provoked you all the time and even instigated Dallas to kill you!
“I can give you all my assets, and I definitely won’t dare to oppose you again. Please let me off this time!
“From now on, I’ll be loyal to you and do your bidding. I will never disobey you!”
Nate was crying so badly that snot and tears were all over his face. He looked extremely disheveled and wretched. For the sake of convincing Lucas to let him off, he had swallowed his pride to say so many subservient things. He was no longer a prideful scion.
At the side, Herman was exasperated.
He was still trying to think of a way to save his incompetent grandson, yet Nate had embarrassed himself and stooped low spinelessly. It was a huge disgrace to the Walkers!
Herman felt his face burning up, as if he had been slapped several times on the face.
This made him feel even worse than he did when Gaia kneeled and begged just now!
