Chapter 567 James's Terrifying Presence
"Mason, Yosef, you really came." James remarked with his own skills.
Hearing this voice, Mason and Yosef both shuddered, their faces showing expressions of astonishment. Immediately, they turned around and saw James standing behind them with a meaningful smile. The bodyguards surrounding them seemed unaware of his presence and had no idea how he had silently bypassed their watchful eyes to get inside.
"James!" Mason's face turned grim as he clenched his fists and stared intently at James.
Yosef's eyes also flashed with hostility. He hadn't slept well for days, every time he closed his eyes, he saw the image of his son Brent dying with his eyes open, grabbing his feet and questioning why he hadn't avenged him!
In this way, his hatred for James ran deep in his bones. He wished he could devour James's flesh and grind his bones to dust. To seek revenge, he had put aside his family's business and teamed up with Mason, coming to Suncrest City to find any means possible to avenge Brent!
But now, James had the audacity to swagger right up to him. This was truly brazen.
Seeing James's bright smile, Yosef was so enraged that his body trembled, and he wished he could pounce on James and bite him to death.
"James! You dare come before us, thinking that relying on the National Security Agency means we can't do anything to you?" Long-term insomnia and deteriorating physical condition had made Yosef irritable, losing his usual calm and composure.
Nolan, standing nearby, was surprised by their words. He hadn't expected James to dare approach them at this moment, completely catching him off guard.
At that moment, the bodyguards, alerted by the commotion, turned around and noticed James's presence. They were all taken aback, wondering how he had managed to bypass their security and make his way inside without being seen. Nonetheless, their professional instincts kicked in swiftly as they surrounded James, eyes glaring with intense vigilance. "Who let you in here? Get out!" one of them demanded.
Two burly bodyguards, with stern faces, moved to grab James's shoulders, intending to subdue him and throw him out. However, as soon as their hands touched James's shoulders, it was as if they were electrocuted, and they flew backward, crashing into a table behind them with a loud noise.
James's smile remained unchanged. He even picked up a dessert, put it in his mouth, and then leisurely walked towards Mason and Yosef.
With this, Nolan's face immediately turned cold. This was the Lawson family's party, and James daring to make a move here was a sign of disrespect to the Lawson family.
Not far away, Clio had just returned from the restroom and noticed James was no longer where he had been. Hearing the commotion, she quickly saw what was happening and thought, 'This is bad, James has indeed made a move.'
She thought for a moment and decided to step forward to see if she could stabilize the situation.
The commotion also drew the attention of many guests around, who all turned their eyes towards them. Originally, Mason, Yosef, and Nolan were three big shots, and their every move attracted the attention of countless guests present.
They saw James walking into their circle, and it seemed like he had a grudge against these three bigwigs. They found it very interesting.
On the other side, a few rich men who were plotting how to get back at James also saw this scene.
"Mr. Dance, take a look over there. The guy who snatched your woman doesn't seem to be an ordinary person." One of the rich men lightly poked Leandro's back and said in a peculiar tone.
Leandro was in the middle of an animated conversation with a few individuals, already imagining how he would torment James after the party to vent his anger. With this, he immediately turned around and saw James sitting down in front of Mason, the atmosphere tense.
He was a bit confused, wondering what happened.
Leandro sensed that James knew Mason; this made things a bit tricky!
Mason was from a huge family in the City of Mysteries and was the head of the family. His status was far beyond what a small rich heir like him could provoke. It was no exaggeration to say that Mason could wipe him out with a single breath.
However, that wasn't the worst part. What he saw next made his scalp tingle and his whole body tremble!
James sat nonchalantly in front of Mason, his gaze sweeping over Mason and Yosef's faces, and then he said directly, "I told you, you can seek revenge on me. No matter what tricks you use, I'll take them. But you only get one chance. Whatever you throw at me, I'll return it a hundredfold. But if you dare to target the individuals around me, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
His earlier words were spoken calmly, even with a faint smile on his face. But when he mentioned, "wish you were dead," his demeanor suddenly changed, his pupils dilated, and his tone became icy cold.
The most terrifying part was that, when he spoke of a fate worse than death, an immense energy emanated from beneath his feet, as if he were a colossal piling machine, forcefully striking the ground!
Four consecutive impacts shook the ground violently, creating an extremely shocking noise. The entire golden hall trembled, and the chandeliers on the ceiling swayed.
This commotion frightened everyone present, causing their faces to turn pale as they looked around. Some who had experienced earthquakes even thought it was an earthquake, screamed, and then, disregarding their composure, frantically searched for places to hide.
In an instant, the hall's two thousand-plus guests, including many important figures, were thrown into chaos.
As the instigator, James remained the most relaxed, even picking up a glass of red wine and savoring it.
But Mason and Yosef in front of him were not so fortunate. At this moment, they clearly felt James's overwhelming pressure, far beyond their limits.
Mason, being a second-stage martial artist, could barely withstand James's terrifying pressure. But Yosef, an ordinary person, couldn't handle it at all, especially with his recent insomnia and mental exhaustion. Facing James's pressure now, his body trembled violently, like he was having a seizure, and he collapsed to the ground.
