Chapter 479 Who Do You Think You Are
Lester's mind was in chaos. James's appearance was completely unexpected and caught him off guard.
Eli also widened his eyes in disbelief.
James was well-known. Anyone in the City of Mysteries industry knew him, and he was more famous than any celebrity.
Even outside the City of Mysteries, anyone with a certain level of status had heard of James.
But the key point was, wasn't James supposed to be dead?
How did he suddenly come back?
Judging by the power James just displayed, it was unfathomable.
James's gaze swept across the crowd as everyone he looked at couldn't help but tremble, lowering their heads, not daring to meet his eyes, their hearts pounding.
He was back, it was really James.
The invincible James from five years ago had returned. Just a glance from him made everyone involuntarily fearful.
This was explosive news.
James's return meant that the dynamics of the City of Mysteries were about to change again.
Particularly among the three major families, the most fragile of them all, the Smith family, now standed a good chance of catching up with the Ward family and the Stewart family due to James' presence.
The moment they saw James, they all imagined the upcoming turmoil in the City of Mysteries.
The City of Mysteries was about to get lively.
Many were excited, eager to watch the drama unfold.
Now, the question before them was how James would deal with Lester. From their earlier conversation, it seemed Lester had targeted people close to James after his disappearance, causing two deaths. With James's notorious temper, Lester was doomed!
James walked towards Lester step by step, very slowly, at a normal walking pace, but the commotion he caused was enormous.
With each step James took, the ground shook noticeably, as if an elephant were walking, causing the ground to tremble and make noise.
And the commotion grew more intense with each step James took.
James was about ten steps away from Lester. When he took the tenth step, the ground shook, and even the chandelier above trembled, as if an earthquake had hit, causing the lights to sway, making the scene extremely shocking.
With such immense pressure from James, Lester's face had turned pale, terrified to the extreme. His body trembled like he had Parkinson's, and his legs shook violently, losing all his previous arrogance and swagger.
When James took the thirteenth step, the entire hall shook violently. By the time he reached Lester, Lester had already wet his pants, his spirit completely broken, collapsing to the ground, begging for mercy without dignity, "James! My bad. I didn't mean to bully Jeffery, please spare me."
Everyone was shocked by this scene. James hadn't even made a move, and Lester was already begging for mercy. Was James really that terrifying?
James looked down at Lester with a domineering gaze. "You just told someone you're not afraid of me. Even if I were here, you'd easily take care of me, right?"
Lester's body shook violently, his voice trembling as he begged for mercy, "It's a misunderstanding.James, I didn't mean any disrespect."
Lester once thought he wasn't afraid of James anymore, but at this moment, facing James, he realized how ridiculous that thought was. He even doubted he was facing a human, but rather a prehistoric monster. The pressure emanating from James was extremely intense, like a mountain holding down on him, making it hard to breathe.
"Kneel down." James glared at him and said.
Lester's heart trembled, forgetting what dignity was, and instinctively knelt before James.
The entire room fell silent.
"Tell me, which way of death do you want ?" James stared at him.
Lester became even more terrified, desperately begging for mercy.
But James wouldn't give him the chance. He stepped on Lester's right leg, and with a crunch, broke it, causing Lester to scream in pain.
It was brutal, completely overturning everyone's understanding. This was the Silver Eagle Conference, with so many audiences watching. James dared to attack Lester.
Lester was a member of the Percy family, a prominent family in the City of Mysteries. James breaking Lester's leg in front of so many audiences was a complete disrespect to the Percy family.
The next second, everyone's eyes turned to Eli.
Eli was the current Silver Eagle Leader, and tonight's conference was hosted by him. James punishing Lester like this was a direct affront to Eli.
Eli understood this, so his face turned extremely grim.
Lester, with his leg broken, crawled towards Eli, clutching his leg, crying and begging, "Mr. Ward, save me, Mr. Ward, save me!"
Eli's face was dark.
James didn't continue his attack; he looked at Eli indifferently.
"Mr. Ward, you are the Silver Eagle Leader. James attacking me is a complete disrespect to you, not honoring you at all," Lester desperately pleaded.
Eli was Lester's only hope now.
Finally, Eli said in a deep voice., "James, tonight is the annual Silver Eagle Conference, meant to resolve hatred. According to the rules, no matter how big the grudge, you can't act during the conference. Breaking Lester's leg means you don't respect the Silver Eagle Conference or any of us here."
Seeing Eli willing to stand up for him, Lester felt a sense of relief.
However, James sneered, "So what?"
Eli's pupils contracted sharply, glaring at James, "James, are you declaring war on all of us?"
Realizing his words were too harsh, Eli, unsure of James's strength, still held some fear and respect for him. He softened his tone, "James, I can't interfere in your grudge with Lester. But now, as the Silver Eagle Leader, I'm asking you to spare Lester. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
James laughed again, "Who do you think you are? Why should I agree to you?"
"You!" Eli's eyes widened, his breathing becoming rapid.
James's words not only disrespected him but also slapped him in the face.
After all, he was the second son of the Ward family, a well-known figure in the City of Mysteries, and the Silver Eagle Leader. James humiliating him like this left him no choice but to be furious.
