Chapter 525 James, So You're in Serenity State.
Brent was dead, so swiftly
It was like killing a chicken. Just a moment ago, Brent was the second son of the powerful Lewis family, and now, in the blink of an eye, he was gone.
Brent's death left many onlookers numb. It took a full half-minute for everyone to gradually realize what had happened.
James, this man, really dared to kill Brent.
And kneeling in front of him were Rhys and Aimee. Brent died right before their eyes, blood streaming from his seven orifices, his eyes wide open in death. Their hearts clenched with fear, and they trembled uncontrollably.
"Please don't kill us, please don't kill us." Their mental states completely collapsed, and they kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
James had no intention of killing them. James warned, "If you dare to mess with my father-in-law's family again, your fate will be worse than Brent's. Now, get out of here as far as you can."
The two of them fled as if they had been granted amnesty.
James turned around, scanned the room, and said calmly, "Anyone who wants to avenge Brent, come at me, James."
Everyone he looked at lowered their heads, trembling, not daring to say a word.
Especially Tobias, who was so scared that he couldn't move his feet.
Today's events completely shattered his imagination.
When James glanced at Tobias, Tobias felt like he was falling apart.
Tobias wanted to turn and run, but found he couldn't move.
Soon, Tobias realized something terrifying. James had noticed him and was giving him a chilling smile.
"Almost forgot about you." As James finished speaking, he appeared in front of Tobias in an instant, staring at him mockingly, like a cat playing with a mouse.
Tobias immediately knelt before James, kowtowing and begging for mercy without any dignity. "Mr. Smith! Please spare my life."
For such trash, James didn't want to waste any time. James kicked Tobias, not to death, but enough to cripple him.
"Do you have anything else to auction?" James asked Walter and Michael with a warm smile.
In front of enemies, James was as cold as winter.
In front of friends, James was as warm as the morning sun.
"No, I don't."
"Yeah, neither do I."
Walter and Michael said in unison.
"Alright, let's go back then." James nodded. He wasn't a pretentious person. After what had just happened, it was unrealistic to expect Walter and Michael to treat him the same as before.
Everyone watched them leave in silence, not daring to speak until they had been gone for almost a minute.
"An earthquake, an earthquake!"
"Holy scrap! Brent was beaten to death!"
"The Lewis family will go crazy when they find out."
"Who is this young man named James? He's terrifying! Even Delbert wasn't his match; he killed Brent with one strike."
"No idea. It seems like there's no such person in Starlight Province."
"Anyway, this is going to be a big deal!"
They looked at Brent's body, all feeling deeply shocked.
On the way back, it was clear that Walter and Michael's attitudes towards James had changed, especially Walter, who was now more respectful and openly admiring of James.
As for Michael, he wasn't quite at that level, but he was also more reserved.
James had told them he was still the same person and that they didn't need to treat him differently. But what had just happened was too overwhelming for them; it wasn't something that could change overnight.
James showed a smiling face and didn't say much more.
Walter then said, "James, Brent was the second son of the Lewis family and Yosef's favorite. Now that you've killed him, the Lewis family will definitely seek crazy revenge. You need to be careful."
Michael also said, "Yes, James, don't let your guard down. Especially be careful of the Lewis family causing trouble for your family. They are capable of anything."
James smiled, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
With James's calm assurance, they didn't say anything more.
After that, James didn't stay with them for long. After departure, James flew home that night.
James had promised Jennifer to watch a late-night movie together.
They had been married for five years and had rarely gone to the movies.
When he got home, it was only half-past twelve. James took a shower and went out with Jennifer.
James had returned to his gentle and elegant self, and anyone who met him wouldn't have guessed that he had just done something so earth-shattering half an hour ago.
Even Jennifer, his wife, didn't notice anything amiss.
Jennifer was particularly happy, holding James's arm intimately, enjoying the moment.
Meanwhile, in Starlight State, a huge storm had erupted.
The Lewis family had learned the news and was furious.
The family head, Yosef, didn't know how many things he had broken.
When they first heard the news, they couldn't believe that someone in Starlight State would dare to offend the Lewis family.
When they understood the whole story, they were even more shocked.
They wanted revenge, but when they found out that even someone as strong as Delbert wasn't a match for James and was defeated with one punch and killed with one kick, they hesitated.
Such a person was not someone the Lewis family could afford to provoke.
Although the Lewis family was a prominent family, it was only within Starlight State. Outside of it, they were just another family.
Especially since they didn't have anyone who could match Delbert's strength. Their strongest person was only at the second stage of martial arts.
At that moment, Yosef received a phone call from the City of Mysteries.
When Yosef received the call, he was taken aback, unable to believe that Clayton Percy would be calling him.
This was one of the top five families in the City of Mysteries.
His first reaction was that Clayton Percy had dialed the wrong number, but he still answered. Before he could speak, he heard a hoarse voice, "Yosef, I heard your son Brent was killed. We can work together."
Yosef frowned as he said, "Mr. Percy, I don't understand what you mean."
Clayton continued, "My son Lester was also killed by James. He was the eldest son of the Smith family in the City of Mysteries, but he was kicked out of the Smith family by Alistair recently. We can work together to avenge our sons."
"Oh my godness!" Yosef was stunned for several seconds before he reacted.
Meanwhile, in another mansion in the City of Mysteries, Lisa also learned the news. Her eyes sparkled, "James, so you're in Serenity State."
