Lucas‘ mouth twitched slightly as he said calmly, “Brian, stop glaring at her. She’s easily scared.”
Brian did not utter a reply and Aveline remained quiet.
A faint sense of awkwardness filled the car.
They soon arrived at their destination, an abandoned warehouse.
Aveline got out of the car and squinted at the building. “Why are we here?”
Lucas said, “The person is inside.”
Aveline looked at the tightly closed doors of the warehouse, her lips pressed together.
Brian walked over, and the two bodyguards standing at the door greeted him with a nod, “Mr. Cooper.”
Brian waved his hand, and the bodyguards opened the door.
Brian turned to Lucas. “Mr. Tudor, the person is inside.”
Lucas asked, “Did he confess?”
Brian replied, “He said he’ll talk when he sees you.”
A cold, faint smile appeared on Lucas‘ handsome and sharp face as he walked straight into the warehouse.
Aveline hesitated but followed. She had witnessed the incident, so she needed to know who was behind it to be mentally prepared.
The warehouse was filled with dust, and a person was hanging from the ceiling beams, hands tied.
At Brian’s signal, a bodyguard grabbed a bucket of water and threw it over the person.

The person jerked awake, squinting as he looked around. When he saw Lucas, his eyes widened slightly, then he said, “You’re… still alive.”
Lucas replied, “I’m alive. Your boss must be very disappointed.”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
The person grinned, “You’ll die sooner or later. Debts have to be paid!”
Lucas glanced at Brian. “Give him a beating. I don’t like what he’s saying.”
Brian nodded, picked up a steel pipe, weighed it in his hand, and then swung it hard, hitting the man’s thigh..
“Bang!”
The sound was loud, and the man immediately screamed in agony.
Aveline, who had never witnessed such a scene, widened her eyes in shock.
“Are you scared?”
Lucas‘ deep, magnetic voice sounded in her ear.
She looked at him in a daze. “Is this using extrajudicial measures?”
Lucas looked at her calmly, “He tampered with my car and tried to kill me. Using a little extrajudicial measures isn’t excessive, right?”
Aveline quickly agreed, “Not excessive at all.”
Suddenly, she felt that hitting him like this was too lenient.
Brian continued to strike the man more than a dozen times until blood seeped through the man’s pants before stopping.
“Tell me, who sent you?”
The man’s face was twisted in pain, and his voice trembled, “I… I
would rather die than tell…”
“Very brave,” Lucas praised him. “Then keep hitting. Break his bones, set them, and then break them again.”
After saying this, he turned and walked away..
Brian raised the steel pipe, ready to continue.
Perhaps Lucas‘ words had an effect, as the man’s face turned deathly pale, and he spoke up, “Wait… I’ll talk. If I tell you, will you let me go?”
Lucas sneered, “I just praised you, and now you’re caving in so easily?”
The man was speechless.
Brian, with a cold expression, commanded, “Speak!”
The man swallowed hard. “It was a woman. I don’t know who she is,
but she promised me one million dollars and a way out of the
country if I succeeded.”
Brian asked, “How did you communicate?”
The man replied, “We met in person, but each time a different person came. They wore hats and masks, so I couldn’t remember their faces.”
Brian looked at Lucas.
Lucas then turned to Aveline and said, “Go wait in the car.”
Aveline responded, “Oh, okay.”
As she walked away, Lucas‘ expression darkened. He told Brian, ”
Cut off one of his hands and send it to a specific place.”
