Chapter 721: Apologize To Me

Wendy couldn’t endure it any longer. Her legs went limp, and she fell straight to the floor.
“Vince, I… I was just bewitched. That’s why I made that mistake. I’m sorry, Vince. Please forgive me. I’ll never dare to do this kind of thing again!” she pleaded while shuddering.
Lance also trembled in fear. He knelt in front of Vince and begged for forgiveness. “Mr. Smith, t-this is none of my business! I was also very shocked and surprised, but Mrs. Smith forced me to help her cover up the truth. If I didn’t listen to her, none of the Kingstons would have been able to survive. I had no choice but to help her lie to you. Please have mercy and spare my life!”
The others at the scene looked extremely complicated.
The scene shown in the video, as well as the two people kneeling before Vince and crying and begging for mercy, was simply the best plot twist. It was much more exciting than the plot of some corny soap operas.
It turned out that while Wendy and Lance both identified Lucas as Roy’s murderer, the truth was that Wendy was actually the murderer. In order to frame Lucas for it, she had even plotted with Lance. Indeed, women were the most vicious!
It was no wonder that people often said that art came from life, but life was far more melodramatic than art.
Furthermore, many people were interested in Wendy’s ex-husband and son, whom she mentioned in the video. The dramatic secrets between big families had always been a hot topic of gossip that everyone liked hearing.
Everyone craned their necks forward to watch, not wanting to miss any detail. But at the same time, they were trying their best to control their expressions, lest they seemed overly enthusiastic.
After all, such a thing was definitely a disgrace to the Smiths.
With nothing but cold indifference in his eyes, Vince looked at the two people kneeling in front of him.
The Smiths were not a close-knit family in the first place, and there wasn’t much of a father-son relationship between Vince and his son Roy. Even when he received the news of Roy’s sudden death, he didn’t feel grief-stricken and was merely angry.
If Roy’s death could bring him and the Smiths some benefits, he would have died a worthy death. Even if Vince had to kill Roy personally, he would definitely not be reluctant about it.
But Roy had actually died at the hands of Wendy, and the reason was just to avenge her damn son and ex-husband. It made Vince furious.
Moreover, if word about this matter spread back to DC, the Smiths would become the talk of the town and everyone’s laughing stock!
Vince would never tolerate that!
“Kill!” Vince roared. The expert behind him immediately stepped forward and smacked Lance’s head with his palm without the slightest hesitation.
Crack!
The palm of martial arts experts was powerful enough to split a boulder. Lance’s skull instantly shattered as his eyes bulged out. He died without even being able to make a single sound!
This scene made Wendy tremble in horror.
“V… Vince, I-I really know I was wrong. Please just spare me! I-I won’t dare to do anything like this again in the future. I can give you all my assets too. I…” Wendy was frightened out of her wits. Seeing Vince’s subordinate approaching her, she desperately begged him for mercy.
Without waiting for her to finish, Vince ordered coldly, “Kill her!”
Crack!
With another slap, Wendy ended up with the same fate as Lance. Her skull shattered, and she died violently on the spot!
Vince had resolutely taken two lives just like that, and one of them was even his cousin. Everyone had a deep understanding of how cold and cruel Vince was, and they unanimously lowered their heads, not daring to look at him again.
Vince didn’t even look at the two corpses at his feet. He merely stared at Lucas viciously before turning around to leave.
“Hold it. Did I say you could leave?” Lucas suddenly spoke up in a domineering tone to stop Vince from leaving.
The crowd was astonished.
A maniacal murderous intent appeared in Vince’s eyes. He stopped, turned around, and hollered furiously, “Punk, what else do you want?”
With a cold look on his face, Lucas said, “You seem to have forgotten something. I was framed by the Smiths for no rhyme or reason, and you repeatedly tried to kill me. Now that the truth has come to light, and it’s proven that I didn’t kill your son, aren’t you going to give me an explanation?”
Only then did the crowd understand that Lucas had called out to Vince to stop him to give him an explanation.
Lucas was way too daring.
Vince was from one of the top eight families of DC. Even if the helmsmen present had been wrongly accused, they would be overjoyed if the Smiths didn’t continue to pursue the matter against them. They obviously wouldn’t dare to ask for an explanation.
Lucas was really outrageously daring!
At this moment, the head of the Peerless Martial Association’s California branch had a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The reason he dared to confront Vince was that the incomparably powerful Peerless Martial Association backed him, giving him great confidence.
But the young man in front of him was just an abandoned son of the Huttons, who had been kicked out of the family for years. How could he have the courage to call Vince out and demand an explanation from him?
While the others thought so, Vince, the person in question, was boiling with fury. “Punk, who do you think you are? How dare you ask me for an explanation? Do you think the Smiths are afraid of you and that we can let just anyone trample all over us?”
Vince’s eyes were full of infuriation.
“When you’ve wronged, you should naturally apologize. Haven’t your elders taught you this?” Lucas said in exasperation.
“You want me to apologize to you? No way! Do you have the qualifications?” Vince roared angrily.
Lucas raised his eyebrows and said calmly, “Qualifications… In that case, I’ll have to resort to other methods to tell you whether I have the qualifications or not!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there were countless buzzing discussions from the crowd.
“This kid is really arrogant. No matter what, Vince is a Smith. He’s just shooting himself in the foot by doing this. How stupid!”
“Even if you want to kick him when he’s down, you ought to consider who he is! Vince isn’t someone whom an abandoned child like him can afford to mess with!”
“I bet this punk is just getting carried away. Everything would have been fine after Vince left, but he just had to do this. I’m afraid he might not be able to escape later!”
…
There are many different opinions, but almost everyone thought that Lucas was dead meat for sure.
Lucas turned a deaf ear to the discussions.
Lucas really didn’t take the Smiths seriously. Besides, he wasn’t even facing the helmsman of the Smiths but merely a direct descendant.
Furthermore, if Lucas wanted to, he could go back to DC at any time and become the helmsman of the Huttons, making his status far above Vince’s.
Not to mention Lucas’s other identity—the esteemed captain of the Falcon Regiment of Calico, titled the God of War of Calico.
Vince chuckled mirthlessly and stared at Lucas coldly.. “Come on. I want to see how exactly you can make me apologize to you!”
