Unrivalled God of War

Chapter 71

As he heard this, the man went on his knees again. He kowtowed to Lightning profusely as he begged, “Lightning, please let me go. I was late for an hour because I was trying to gather enough money to return to you...”

Without a tinge of sympathy, Lightning said in a coarse voice, “You have to be credible if you want to survive in this world. Do what you’ve promised to. Come, bring him to the balcony and toss him down from here.”

Instantly, the man turned pale. He started to scream in an agonizing manner but was quickly dragged away by a few monstrous-looking men.

Meanwhile, Lightning looked towards Joseph Myers and the Smith brothers. He asked nonchalantly, “What are you three doing here?”

Joseph replied cautiously, “Lightning, something’s happened to your brother in Channing. We are here to tell you what had happened.”

Upon hearing this, Lightning’s expression turned drastically. At the same time, a blood-curdling scream could be heard from outside the window.

The bespectacled man fell from the balcony and the next thing they heard was a loud sound before the scream stopped.

The trio turned as pale as a sheet.

Lightning continued with sharp eyes and a cold tone, “What’s happened to my brother?”

“He was killed by Nathan Cross and Thomas Dunn,” Joseph Myers cringed and muttered in a soft voice.

The Mastiff let out a howl at this.

Lightning, who had his hand on its head earlier, clenched his fingers upon hearing Joseph’s words, crushing the Mastiff’s head.

The Mastiff let out a howl and died on the spot.

Gradually, a murderous expression appeared on Lightning’s face. Even the surrounding air had turned cold.

He stared at the trio and asked, “Are you telling me the truth?”

Joseph Myers had no choice but to explain, “Yes. Nathan and your brother had a grudge because of a construction project. He found Thomas Dunn, the underworld lord in the Eastern District, and joined forces with him to kill your brother. Now, Dunn has taken over all of your brother’s business.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Lightning’s face clouded over in a gloomy manner. Nobody knew whether he was speaking to the trio, or merely thinking to himself when he said, “Who the f*** is Thomas Dunn to kill my brother? I will never let him off.”

As he finished his words, he turned and told one of his men, “Scarface, get someone to make two coffins quickly. I will bring these two coffins to Channing and place Nathan and Thomas’ bodies in them!”

“Yes, sir!” Scarface responded in a deep voice.

...

It was said that good deeds would not go beyond the door, while evil deeds would spread a thousand miles.

After Lightning knew that his brother was killed, news spread quickly that he had come to Channing personally to take revenge for his brother.

Thomas Dunn got wind of this too and even one of his most capable men, Jack, turned frantic, “Thomas, we’re doomed. Harry Leigh’s brother, Lightning, is here for revenge.”

Lightning held the reins over the underworld these few years. His cold-blooded and ruthless reputation was renowned in the South. Many turned pale at the mere mention of his name.

Needless to say, Thomas Dunn who was in Channing’s underworld could not compare to Lightning at all.

As such, Jack and his men panicked when they heard the news.

Thomas frowned as well, upon knowing that Lightning was here for revenge.

However, he remained unfazed and told them calmly, “What are you afraid of? Who is Lightning? He still has to kowtow to Sir. As long as Sir wants him to kneel, he will not stand.”

Jack and the rest instantly recalled how Nathan Cross had killed Harry Leigh. However, they still felt anxious.

They were worried that Nathan was no match for Lightning as the latter’s reputation was too astounding.

Thomas brought Jack to the villa at Riverside Garden as he prepared to inform Nathan Cross about this.

After hearing what Thomas had to say, Nathan leaned back in his seat in the study and smiled slightly, “How dare this retard come here? He’s seeking his own death with those coffins.”

Thomas thought that Nathan’s words made sense. However, Jack and his men all remained stoic.

They all thought, This man whom Thomas calls “Sir” is too ridiculous! How can he not care about Lightning?

Meanwhile, Thomas responded respectfully, “Sir, Lightning has already arrived in Channing as of this morning. He is staying at Sunny Canopy Resort. He has released word that we will both die tonight, or else...”

“Or else?” Nathan asked coldly.
