Chapter 481 The Whole City is Shocked
"Call the Percy family and inform them about this. Let them handle it." Eli gave the order and then left the crowd.
"Mr. Ward, are we really going to seek revenge for Lester? Judging by James' performance today, he seems to be at the third stage of a martial artist. His strength is not to be underestimated," a middle-aged man beside him said worriedly.
Eli drank up the wine in his glass in one gulp, not sipping like a gentleman but shoving the entire goblet into his mouth and chewing. The goblet shattered in his mouth, and he swallowed the glass shards along with the wine.
If it were an ordinary person, chewing a goblet like that would have resulted in a mouthful of blood.
But Eli was fine, as if he had eaten a potato chip, making crunching sounds with his mouth.
"I needn't take action. The Percy family will naturally seek revenge on him," Eli's eyes flashed with coldness and resentment.
The middle-aged man beside him remained silent, sensing Eli's emotions, and muttered to himself, "This James is too domineering, even more so than five years ago. I wonder how he plans to end this."
After a while, members of the Percy family arrived. Seeing Lester's body, they were filled with grief and rage. When they learned it was James who did it, their bodies trembled. Along with their anger, they were also deeply shocked. This James was crazy, daring to kill Lester in public. Did he have a death wish?
This news was a hundred times more shocking than when James returned to the Smith family, and it spread even faster.
In less than half an hour, the entire industry knew about it, and they were equally shocked.
A massive storm was brewing.
When the news reached the Smith family's manor, many members of the Smith family were stunned, thinking they had misheard.
James was known for being flamboyant and domineering, but he had never killed anyone before, especially not someone like Lester from the Percy family. How could James do such a thing? Wasn't he afraid of the Percy family's retaliation?
When Alistair heard the news, he was also stunned and speechless for a long time. Then he felt a headache coming on.
Alistair thought sending James to Serenity Province to be a son-in-law for five years would be enough to smooth out James' flamboyant and domineering personality.
James' behavior in the past few days had met his expectations. James had indeed become more stable and reserved, showing the demeanor of a great leader.
But it had only been a few days, and James had already pulled such a stunt.
This was even more flamboyant and domineering than five years ago. It couldn't even be described as flamboyant and domineering anymore; it was pure lawlessness.
For the first time, he doubted whether passing the family head position to James was a mistake.
Objectively speaking, James was the most capable in the Smith family. Wylie and Usher combined couldn't compare to James.
But James had a huge flaw that his temper was volatile, like an untamable wild horse.
And now, barely two weeks since his return, James had already caused such a significant uproar!
In reality, killing Lester wasn't a big deal for Alistair. As long as he intervene in, the Percy family couldn't do much to James. The Smith family was stronger than the Percy family, and if the Percy family wanted to seek revenge on James, they would have to think twice.
However, what Alistair cared about was James' personality, which was so difficult to control, like a ticking time bomb.
"Get James back here immediately!" Alistair gave the order, wanting to see why James had done this.
Meanwhile, Lisa also learned about the event. She was about to go to bed when she heard the news and was stunned for a full five seconds.
"What? Had James killed Lester half an hour ago?" Lisa abruptly stood up and stared intently at Heather.
Heather's expression was equally agitated as she vigorously nodded, exclaiming, "Yes! This James is utterly lawless and incredibly arrogant! I even suspect there might be something wrong with his mind. Lester is a direct relative of The Percy family, not some distant kin, and yet James had the audacity to strangle him to death right in front of everyone at the Silver Eagle Conference."
Heather didn't know what words to use to describe James' behavior.
Lisa's gaze returned to normal, a glimmer of interest flashing in her eyes as she smiled meaningfully, saying, " Interesting. James is even more flamboyant and domineering than five years ago."
Heather, who had served Lisa for many years and knew her better than anyone, immediately widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Ms. Savoy! You can't seriously be interested in James. He is nothing short of a demon. Besides, with his volatile temperament, what would you do if he mistreated you once you were together?"
Lisa splayed her arms, letting Heather drape a robe over her, then spun around, exuding such charm that even Heather was entranced.
"I should have gone to the Silver Eagle Conference tonight. I missed such a spectacular scene," Lisa said with some regret.
Then Lisa took out her phone, opened a group chat, and saw several short videos. She randomly clicked on one, showing James lifting Lester with one hand and strangling Lester to death.
In the video, apart from Lester's pleas for mercy, there was no other nosie. Everyone was silent.
And in the video, James appeared extremely frigid.
Watching the video, Lisa's smile grew even wider.
Next, she opened several more videos, all featuring James.
After watching them all, Lisa closed her eyes, then opened them after a while, smiling sweetly and saying, "I'm more and more eager to meet James."
Heather patted her forehead and said, "Oh, god!"
On James' side, he and Jeffery left the Silver Eagle Conference. No one dared to stop them. It wasn't until they got into the car that Jeffery realized and said to James, "James, will there be any trouble for killing Lester like that?"
James replied, "There won't be any major issues."
Jeffery was silent for a while, then said, "James, thank you."
James laughed, "Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for still remembering us." Jeffery's eyes were a bit red with tears.
"Silly, we're siblings. This is what I should do." James sighed and said, "To be honest, it is my failure as the elder brother; I haven't protected you all well."
