Shane was still complaining about Lucas to Vince, but he didn’t realize how gloomy Vince was.

Smack!

Vince raised his hand and slapped Shane’s face without mercy!

“Damn it! If you want to die, don’t implicate me, idiot!” Vince cursed angrily before hurrying toward Lucas and explaining, “Mr. Gray, I have nothing to do with this fool, and he has nothing to do with the Smiths either. Ignore what he says!

“Given how he’s offended you, I won’t let him off! I’ll make him die however you want him to die!

“It’ll all be up to your orders, Mr. Gray!”

What Vince said and the slap just now made Shane dumbfounded! What the hell is going on?

Vince was an extremely powerful person from the dignified Smith family, yet why was he so polite and even respectful toward Lucas?

Shane began doubting life!

He had actually been abroad and having fun all the time under the excuse of going to school. After receiving the news that his cousin was going to get married, he had rushed back from abroad. But he ran into Lucas at the airport and had a conflict with him.

In fact, he had planned to go to the hotel from the airport to attend the wedding. But because Jordan’s kick had soiled his clothes, he had gone back to the Dempsey residence to change his clothes before arriving at the hotel.

But these delays had caused him to miss all the events in the hotel. He had no idea how powerful Lucas was.

When Lucas said that he had killed his grandfather in front of the Smiths, Shane thought Lucas was just bragging and didn’t believe him at all.

But now that he saw Vince shuddering in front of Lucas, he suddenly had an extremely terrifying thought. What if Lucas was telling the truth just now…

Could it be that Phil, his grandfather and the helmsman of the family, had really been killed by Lucas?

How could he believe it!?

“What… happened? How is my grandfather now? What about the rest of my family? And this punk… who exactly is he?”

Shane began huddling up as he asked these questions in a shaky voice.

Lucas naturally wouldn’t answer Shane’s questions. He merely said to Vince coldly, “It’s up to you to deal with it.”

With that, he walked over toward their car.

Jordan looked at the pale Shane and called him a fool before catching up with Lucas.

Shane was dumbfounded for a while before finally looking at Vince, wanting to get some answers from him. But he saw the murderous intent on Vince’s face.

He immediately trembled and stammered, “Mr… Mr. Vince, surely you’re not really going to kill me?”

Vince looked at Shane like he was a fool and said coldly, “Do you think I’m joking with you? Hmph, what a fool! Even I’m on tenterhooks in front of him, and I don’t dare to offend him at all. Yet you wanted him to kneel down and kowtow to you. Who do you think you are?

“Since you’ve already provoked him, I can only kill you to appease him.”

Shane widened his mouth in disbelief. He couldn’t believe that Vince, someone from one of the eight most powerful families in DC, would be so afraid of a young man in his twenties!

“Mr. Vince… The man just now… What exactly is his identity? You’re a Smith. Why are you so respectful…”

“Shut up!” Vince interrupted him in annoyance before ordering his bodyguard, “Take him to a secluded place and get rid of him neatly without leaving any traces.”

“Yes!” The two bodyguards standing behind Vince immediately came forward, held Shane by his arms, and pulled him into the hotel.

There was no one in the Maestro International Hotel now, and there were only a few corpses there. They could be taken care of together.

“No! Mr. Vince! The Dempseys are loyal to the Smiths. My grandfather and you have known each other for a long time. Please let me off on account of my grandfather and the Dempseys!” Shane yelled in panic.

He had no idea why things suddenly turned out this way.

After he was forcefully pulled into the hotel, he was even more confused.

This should have been the wedding venue. The photos and flowers at the entrance and the beautiful decor inside clearly appeared in front of him.

But there wasn’t a single person at all!

The entire hotel was empty, and many tables and chairs were in a mess. Clearly, people had fled in panic.

What happened here?

Where are the Dempseys? Why isn’t anyone here?

It was only when a bodyguard put a cold pistol against Shane’s forehead that he was jolted awake with fear and horror written all over his face.

“No, no, no! Mr. Vince, you… you can’t kill me! Even if you want me to die, you have to give me a reason. Let me die a reasonable death. Otherwise, even if I die, I will still be a confused ghost!” Shane shouted maniacally while struggling with all his might.

Looking at him, Vince couldn’t help showing a little sympathy.

But it was Shane’s fault for offending Lucas. No one could help him.

“Your grandfather was indeed killed by the young man just now. From now on, I’m afraid the Dempseys will no longer exist in DC.

“And the young man is indeed not to be offended. He’s now heading to the Smiths’. He wasn’t bragging about wanting to kill a few Smiths.

“Now, do you understand what kind of terrifying existence you’ve provoked?” Vince said to Shane with some pity.

Shane felt like he was struck by lightning and was completely dumbfounded.

“Is Grandpa… really dead?

“Will the Dempseys cease to exist from now on?

“He actually has the guts to rush to the Smith residence now. Are you just going to stand by and watch? Aren’t you a Smith?”

Shane couldn’t believe what he just heard.

“That’s enough. What I just said is enough. Anyway, it’s enough for you to know why you’re dying.”

Vince’s face was sullen as he ordered the bodyguard beside him, “Do it!”

Bang!

The bodyguard pulled the trigger without hesitation.

A small hole immediately appeared in between Shane’s eyebrows. His eyes were wide open, but he would never be able to speak again.

In the last second when his consciousness was about to drift away, his heart was surging with endless regret.

If he had known that this bumpkin was so powerful, he wouldn’t have provoked him at the airport!

With this regret, Shane slipped into eternal darkness.
