Herman’s heart suddenly sank.

Lucas was undoubtedly implying that he should die to atone for his mistakes.

All the Walkers showed misery and sadness to part with him, but no one dared to come forward to oppose Lucas.

Now, Lucas had already shown his immeasurable strength that families like theirs could no longer defy.

Moreover, the families that had chosen to follow the Smiths earlier also seemed anxious and agonized.

Lucas didn’t pursue the matter against the rest of the Walkers and instead only told Herman to kill himself, which meant that he was letting the other Walkers off.

After all, Herman was the one who had ordered to kill Lucas.

Herman opened his mouth and wanted to plead with Lucas. But as soon as he saw the cold and indifferent gaze in Lucas’s eyes, he understood that there was no way that Lucas would let him off.

He smiled bitterly, and his old face seemed to have instantly aged by several years.

He had already lived until such an old age, and even if he died now, he didn’t have much to regret. In fact, he was willing to give up his life in exchange for the safety of the other Walkers, so he wouldn’t die for nothing.

However, Herman was indignant! Why should I die?

Herman suddenly raised his head with maniacal hatred in his eyes as he stared at Lucas. He pulled out the pistol hidden in his pocket and pointed it at Lucas.

“If you want me to die, then go to hell and explore the way for me first!”

Herman had a hysterical look on his face, and his hand holding the pistol was trembling slightly due to the intense agitation in his heart. This made his move even more dangerous because he might pull the trigger at any moment.

As long as Lucas died, there would no longer be a threat to the Walkers. From now on, the Walkers would still be the top family in San Francisco!

This scene immediately caused many people present to scream.

No one had expected that Herman had hidden a pistol on his body and that he would aim it at Lucas at this moment.

“Herman Walker! Stop!” Edmund shouted as he stood up with anxiety and anger. “Herman Walker, if you dare to shoot Mr. Gray, the Coles will definitely become your enemy. Even if I have to use up all the Coles’ resources, I will make sure to drench the Walkers in blood! Try it if you don’t believe me!”

He was truly enraged. Lucas was the captain of the Falcon Regiment, so how could he possibly be shot by someone like Herman?

Axel of the Peerless Martial Association narrowed his eyes, stood out, and said slowly, “Herman Walker, I advise you not to make a move against Lucas Gray. Otherwise, I won’t spare your family either!”

He saw a lot of potential in Lucas, and he was even ready to introduce him to the Peerless Martial Association. How could he allow Herman to hurt Lucas?

“Herman Walker, if you dare to lay a hand on Mr. Gray, I definitely won’t let you off!” Bruce, Damon, and Ethan also stood out and rebuked Herman furiously.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Herman felt extremely miserable.

Seeing that he wanted to kill Lucas, several people from these powerful families of California immediately came forward to protect him.

But when Lucas wanted to kill him, none of his former allies came forward to speak up for him or ask for mercy on his behalf. In fact, none of the Walkers dared to plead for him either.

Why?

Am I that inferior to this young man Lucas Gray?

What have I done wrong as the head of the Walkers?

There wasn’t any enmity between him and Lucas prior to this, and he had previously wanted to kill Lucas only because he wanted to curry favor with the Smiths, so as to give the Walkers a better chance to become stronger. Was there anything wrong with this?

Who is Lucas Gray to force me to kill myself as an apology? Herman was indignant!

The more Herman thought about it, the more agitated he became, and his hand holding the pistol trembled more and more, as if he would pull the trigger at any moment.

The numerous people standing immediately looked extremely nervous, fearing that he would really shoot Lucas dead.

But compared to the people next to him, Lucas, who was held at gunpoint, was much calmer.

He stood still with a slight smirk on his face. “Herman Walker, as I said earlier, things like guns are useless against me. Do you really think you can hit me? ”

Then he laughed and walked straight toward Herman as if he was just taking a leisurely stroll.

“You… Hold it right there! If you dare to take another step forward, I’ll shoot you immediately!” Herman yelled frantically, his face covered in sweat, his hand trembling violently.

Seemingly not hearing the threat at all, Lucas didn’t stop, and he said with a smile, “Try shooting then. No one’s going to stop you.”

“Don’t you think I won’t dare!” Herman roared and then pulled the trigger.

Bang! There was a loud gunshot.

However, to everyone’s astonishment, Lucas was unharmed. But instead, Herman, the one with the gun, had a bullet hole in the middle of his forehead.

There was obvious shock and confusion on his face, as if he couldn’t understand why he had been shot. Then his body fell backward.

With’s Herman’s death, everyone looked at the only other person here holding a gun.

This person was none other than the Walkers’ former Sharpshooter Gaia.

Gaia had his arm raised, and there was still faint smoke wafting out of the muzzle of the pistol in his hand.

“Mr-Mr. Gray…!” Gaia gulped hard and stammered, “I-I just wanted to help you… He actually tried to shoot you. He deserved to die!”

If someone who didn’t know the inside story saw it, they would definitely think that Gaia was worried about Lucas’s safety, so he had resolutely killed his former boss and saved Lucas.

But Lucas smiled coldly while looking at him.

He had always had sharp senses, and he was already aware of it when Gaia stood not far behind him and took out his pistol.

Moreover, he also knew that Gaia’s pistol was not aimed at Herman at all but at the back of his head.

If Lucas hadn’t quickly shifted his head to the side the moment Gaia fired, the bullet would have probably pierced through his head!

The fact that this person actually dared to pretend to be a loyal servant in front of him seemed extremely ridiculous to Lucas.

“Do you think I’m a fool? For people who try to kill me, they will only die!” Lucas said coldly.

Then he flipped his finger, and a pistol suddenly appeared in his hand. It was the one he had taken from Gaia earlier.

Bang!

Without giving Gaia a chance to argue, Lucas simply fired a shot and used the bullet that Gaia was most familiar with as the last gift of his life.

Gaia’s eyes were wide open as blood kept gushing out of the bullet hole between his eyebrows. The luster in his eyes faded away, and he slowly fell to the floor.

There was dead silence in the venue!
