Chapter 31 - A Near-Death Experience

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lucy looked absolutely livid.

On this night, not only had her company, but the seven companies with close working relationships with the Xander Group had also all been forcibly delisted!

Heller had also turned Jacob, her younger brother, into a eunuch! Billy West, the underground boxing champion whom she’d had high hopes for, had also suffered an instant KO by Heller’s hands!

Heller had trampled on all her pride and utterly shattered it in front of everyone!

Even her celebration party had been destroyed by Heller and turned into a complete joke!

Once news of tonight’s events spread around, she, Lucy, would probably become the laughingstock of Los Angeles in an instant!

Lucy shook all over with anger. She turned to Neal Wilson, the head of the Wilsons, and asked sharply, “What are you still waiting for, Mr. Wilson?”

Everyone turned to look at Neal.

Everyone knew that Heller had killed Hugh Wilson, the Wilsons’ eldest son, the previous night.

There was absolutely no way he would be able to reach a reconciliation with his son’s murderer! It was impossible that Neal would be indifferent!

.

At this moment, Neal slowly stood up and said coldly, “Heller, you killed my son, Hugh, last night!”

“I’ve been looking for you all day today, but I didn’t manage to find you. Neither was I able to find Ruby Lincoln!”

“But none of this matters! You can run but you can’t hide!”

“The Nicholsons are no longer, but the Lincolns are still around!”

“The Lincolns are your woman’s family. While you were behaving so brazenly here, guess what the Lincolns were going through?”

Upon hearing his words, Heller whipped around!

Neal said indifferently, “The Lincolns will go bankrupt! I’ll say this now! From now on, anyone who dares to work with the Lincolns will be the Wilsons’ enemy!”

Upon hearing what he said, everyone present couldn’t help but be alarmed!

Lucy’s lip corners curled upward slightly. She concurred, “The same holds true for the Xanders! Anyone who dares to associate with the Lincolns will be the Xanders’ enemy!”

Heller stared at Neal and said coldly, “Neal, do you have a death wish?”

Neal let out a sinister laugh and said, “There isn’t anyone in L.A. who dares to kill me, Neal, yet!”

“Heller, you are certainly very skilled at fighting, but so what?”

“The Wilsons have thousands of direct descendants. You can kill one of them, but you can’t kill all of them!”

“If we can’t defeat you with just one man, I’ll have ten, a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand men go after you! “

“They can even drown you if each person spits just once on you!”

“Do you know why I’m not killing you here tonight?”

Neal’s gaze swept around the hall and he said, “Hugh will be buried tomorrow. We, the Wilsons, would like to invite everyone here to his funeral!”

“I’d also like everyone to bear witness to something!”

“Heller, I will settle the score with you tomorrow!”

“I want you to get down on your knees at my son’s grave and repent! I will avenge him with my own hands in front of his grave and in front of everyone!”

“I will rip you into a million pieces with my own hands!”

“Heller, if you don’t show up tomorrow, I guarantee that Ruby’s entire family will also die very miserable deaths!”

“I will wipe out Ruby’s entire family!”

“This includes that wretched little girl that you had with Ruby. Her name is Nelly and she’s your daughter, right?”

“I will have everyone in the Lincolns, including your daughter, accompany him in the afterworld!

“Do you believe me?!”

Heller looked at Neal and said dispassionately, “Very well. Since the Wilsons cannot wait to die, then I shall personally send you to hell in front of everyone in L.A. tomorrow, so that you may accompany your son in hell!

“We’ll wait and see!”

…

The party came to an end.

After Heller left, everyone else also very wisely left. The Xanders and the Wilsons were the only ones still in the hall.

“Mr. Wilson!”

Jacob asked anxiously, “Why didn’t you get your men to kill Heller right away?”

Neal glanced at Lucy and said calmly, “Are you telling me to give the order to take Heller’s life in front of so many influential people? Do you want the entire Wilson clan destroyed?”

“The Nicholsons are already gone. Killing someone in public for the sake of a mere downtrodden survivor of the Nicholsons is not a wise move!”

An infuriated Lucy said solemnly, “I’ve never been as embarrassed as I was today in my entire life! I must regain the honor that the Xanders lost today with my own hands!”

After she spoke, Lucy turned to Neal and asked seriously, “Mr. Wilson, do we still continue with the deal that we made with each other?”

Neal said calmly, “The original plan was to aid the Xanders in becoming one of L.A.’s most prominent families after your marriage with Hugh, while you give me half of the Nicholsons’ assets.

“But now, Hugh is dead and the Zoffs have also been destroyed!”

“After we kill Heller, I want half of the Zoffs’ assets, too!”

Everything in the world moved for the sake of profits!

Hugh was dead; Neal was determined to avenge his son. However, at the same time, he wasn’t going to give up any of the benefits that he should be getting!

“Hehehe!”

Lucy giggled wildly and brazenly. She said coquettishly, “Deal! As long as you kill Heller, we’ll split the Nicholsons’ and the Zoffs’ assets evenly between the two of us!”

Neal said indifferently, “Heller will die for sure! Tomorrow, I will take Heller’s head and offer it as a blood sacrifice to my son at his funeral!”

At this point, Neal paused for a moment before he sneered and said, “Besides, Heller may not be able to live past tonight anyway!”

Lucy’s eyes lit up and she said charmingly, “He won’t live past tonight? It seems like Mr. Wilson has prepared another surprise for me? I can’t wait!”

“Hehehe!”

…

Elsewhere, Heller sat behind the wheel and weaved through the roads at high speed on the rainy night.

He was driving very quickly because he was worried that something untoward would happen to Ruby and Nelly.

Neal definitely wasn’t just trying to scare him!

The Seven Great Clans were the true blue local tyrants in Los Angeles. Their power and connections in Los Angeles were deeply rooted, complex, and intricate.

The power that the Wilsons wielded far exceeded that of the Zoffs!

As they say, better an open enemy than a false friend!

Heller was fearless, but Ruby and Nelly were different. The two of them needed Heller’s protection!

The car sped along on the road.

Heller suddenly raised an eyebrow at this point.

His keen senses detected that several Audi A6s had been tailing him!

They were men from the Wilsons!

A hint of killing intent flashed across Heller’s eyes.

However, just as they were about to arrive at an intersection, the A6s suddenly collectively disappeared as though they had given up on tailing him!

Heller frowned.

It was at this moment that something unexpected suddenly happened!

At the intersection ahead, Heller was going straight at the green light.

On his left and right were red lights.

However, just as Heller was about to drive through the intersection, two green concrete mixer trucks that had originally stopped on the left and right suddenly rushed toward him!

The green concrete mixer trucks moved at maximum speed, running the red light and slamming into Heller’s black Mercedes!

Obviously, this was an ambush that had been carefully planned for very long!

The A6s that were brazenly tailing Heller weren’t worried about him discovering them at all. Their purpose was to grasp his concrete whereabouts and based on the route he was taking, deduce where he would pass by for sure!

The two green concrete mixer trucks, one on the left and the other on the right, had been lying in ambush in advance at the intersection that Heller was sure to pass by!

On top of that, the Wilsons were very smart. When Heller was about to reach the intersection, the A6s had suddenly retreated!

The objective was to distract Heller and make him subconsciously relax his guard!

Then, once Heller drove through the intersection, their real killer move came!

The green concrete mixer trucks sped menacingly toward Heller!

With one on the left and one on the right, their aim was to do a pincer attack, ram into Heller’s Mercedes, and create a fatal car crash!

Once successful, the Wilsons would have achieved their goal of killing Heller. Additionally, they could also disguise it as a traffic accident that had nothing to do with them!

Neal had said that he would take Heller’s life at Hugh’s funeral the next day, but in the end, he had immediately attacked him that night instead!

One had to admit this—

Neal really was extremely two-faced, sinister, and cunning!

However, he had ultimately still underestimated Heller!

The turn of events was too sudden and there were trucks on both Heller’s left and right, so it was impossible for him to avoid them. However, instead of panicking, Heller was unusually calm.

He didn’t stop, nor did he pull the brakes. Instead, he rammed down on the gas pedal and raised his speed to its limit!

Vrooom!

The Mercedes-Benz was a very powerful car. Together with the roar of the engine, the car’s speed started to soar!

Nevertheless, the turn of events was too sudden and the distance between them too short. Heller’s Mercedes still inevitably had a violent collision with the trucks!

However, at the last moment, Heller forcefully turned the steering wheel to the right, causing the black Mercedes to suddenly change direction!

The next moment, the truck on the left slammed into Heller’s car rear with a great bang!

Immediately after, the front of the black Mercedes crashed into the other truck on the right! Then, it bounced off fiercely!

At last, with a bang, the two trucks jointly crushed the rear of Heller’s Mercedes before crashing fiercely into each other!

Dead silence filled the place!

Had it been any other ordinary person, no matter how bold they were, they would surely have broken into a cold sweat from shock if they were to encounter a car accident like this!

However, Heller, who was in the driver’s seat, was still completely calm!

He wasn’t pretending to be calm; rather, he had already become used to it!

On the real battlefield, even hails of bullets and bombs exploding right next to one were par for the course, let alone car accidents and ambushes?

Heller pushed the door open and got out.

At the same time, the A6s behind Heller quickly approached.

They stopped opposite the trucks. Then, a middle-aged man in a suit surrounded by a large group of black-clad bodyguards slowly showed up in front of Heller.

The man looked at Heller and raised his eyebrows slightly. “You’re still alive? How fortunate!”

Heller sized up the man. With a look of indifference, he said, “I don’t kill people I don’t know! I’ll give you a chance—tell me, who are you?”

The man pushed the rimless glasses on his nose bridge, revealed a bright smile, and said cheerfully, “I’m Shane Wilson, the Wilsons’ chief butler. By Mr. Wilson’s order, I have come to send Mr. Nicholson to hell!”
