Chapter 260 Let’s Go and Teach Him a Lesson
Joseph had entirely cast aside his facade of pretense.
When he shamelessly spoke such words, Lucy, blushing with indignation, gritted her teeth and scolded, “You damn pervert! To think I once saw you as an idol!”
“Pervert?!” Joseph said disdainfully, “Lucy, I’ve looked into your background. Your family isn’t anything special. The fact that I’m interested in you is your good luck. Why are you acting so reserved? Do you know how many women want to get in my car?”
“Go to hell! If you dare to leak my photos, I’ll call the police immediately!” Although Lucy was both shocked and angry, she wasn’t so frightened that she’d let him push her around. She put on a strong front and counter-threatened, “If you mess around, I promise you’ll be ruined. For a celebrity like you to do such a thing, you’ll never be able to recover in this lifetime.”
However, Joseph sneered, “Give it a try. Do you have any evidence? Do you think my fans will believe you or me? Who would believe your words?”
“And as for you, are you sure you can still show your face once these photos from your phone get out? And who can prove that I was the one who leaked them? Who’d say it wasn’t due to your carelessness, spreading them everywhere?”
With his vast fanbase supporting him, Joseph was fearless. Without evidence, Lucy’s words would be dismissed.
“You’re despicable!!” Lucy was still quite young and naive, and Joseph’s words genuinely frightened her.
Yes, she had no evidence!
Even if she did, with Joseph’s popularity, he could easily twist facts and distort the truth.
Joseph, rather than getting angry at Lucy’s accusations, chuckled. Calmly, he stated, “Have you thought about it? If you don’t agree, you can leave the car now, and I promise your pictures will appear on major platforms tomorrow.”
Lucy was utterly dumbfounded, unsure of what to do.
She had mustered courage earlier to fight back. What she perceived as a powerful threat seemed to mean nothing in front of Joseph.
Against someone like Joseph, all her struggles seemed in vain.
But if she succumbed to him, wouldn’t she become his plaything in the future?
The situation became incredibly tense.
Lucy neither wanted to compromise nor dared to open the car door and walk away.
From 30 feet away, William said to Wyatt and the others, “Come with me.”
“What for?” Wyatt asked with widened eyes, “Even if Lucy is dating someone, we shouldn’t be watching them from such close quarters, should we?”
“Let’s teach him a lesson!” William declared, already striding towards Joseph’s car. 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶
“Huh?”
Wyatt and the two others exchanged glances. Paul remarked, “Someone must’ve bullied Lucy. Let’s sort him out!”
The dorm trio quickly made up their minds, fearlessly deciding to back William up.
William, leading the charge, reached the Mercedes in just a few seconds.
Clara recognized William and inquired, “William? What brings you here?”
Joseph’s bodyguard coldly eyed William and snapped, “Kid, get lost!”
A smirk formed on William’s lips. Thankfully, his recent training at Ravenwood had honed his abilities to the basic level of a contemporary Soulmancer.
He reached out to grab the bodyguard.
Joseph’s bodyguard, who had martial training, was clearly outmatched by William. Seeing William as just a student, his first instinct was to try and pin William down by the neck.
However, as he reached out, William caught his wrist. With a gentle squeeze…
Crack!
“Ahhh!”
The bodyguard let out a heart-wrenching scream, his face ashen. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on his forehead as he collapsed to his knees before William.
William had crushed the bones in his wrist with just a pinch!
The excruciating pain made the bodyguard’s legs wobble; he couldn’t even stand properly.
Releasing his grip, William mumbled to himself, slightly displeased, “I might’ve used a tad too much strength.”
Joseph’s bodyguard, kneeling beside, was on the verge of tears.
Just a tad too much strength? His entire hand was practically crippled!
Clearly, the man before him was not someone he could handle. Recognizing his situation, the bodyguard wisely chose to lay flat, rolling his eyes and pretending to faint.
Facing someone who could effortlessly crush his bones, how was he supposed to fight back?
It appeared that they were here for Joseph. Given that Joseph had despicably tried to take advantage of a woman through threats, he had it coming. As a mere employee, he saw no reason to risk his life for scum like Joseph.
William didn’t further trouble the bodyguard,instead, he knocked on the car door.
Lucy had already caught a glimpse of William’s face. Joseph had witnessed the confrontation between William and the guard.
Quickly, Joseph locked the car doors, intending to drive off with Lucy.
Before he could start the engine, William simply pulled open the locked car door.
The quality of a Mercedes goes without saying, but for William, breaking a car lock was nothing unusual. The fact that he hadn’t yanked the door off completely indicated he had controlled his strength to just the necessary amount.
“Lucy, get out! I’ll talk to him,” William said, glancing coldly at Joseph, who, out of fear, hurriedly tried to start the car.
With swift reflexes, William pulled Lucy from the passenger seat. By the time Joseph managed to start the car, William was already seated beside him, calmly closing the car door.
Joseph was nearly petrified with fear. His bodyguard, provided by his company, was a reputed martial artist in Taekwondo, rumored to take down ten men by himself. Yet, he hadn’t lasted even a second against William. Now, trapped inside a car with a powerhouse like William, the danger was more than evident.
“Where are you planning to take me?” William asked Joseph with a playful smirk, “Looking for a decent burial spot for yourself?”
This smile sent chills down Joseph’s spine.
A burial spot?
Was this guy thinking of killing him?
Terrified by William’s threat, Joseph quickly hit the brakes, swallowing hard, and looked at William with pure horror. “What do you want?” he stammered.
“Lucy’s phone. Hand it over.”
As William reached out his hand, Joseph instinctively shrank back, but tried to feign ignorance, “What phone?”
“You’ll remember,” William replied. As he spoke, his palm already rested on Joseph’s arm, his fingers gradually applying pressure.
“Ah!!” Joseph, having been pampered and protected all his life, was very delicate. Even during his filming days, a mere scratch would have him in tears. Now, with William gripping his arm, the pain was almost unspeakable.
William was still trying to gauge how much force a regular person could endure, and Joseph was turning out to be a great test subject.
“I don’t know where the phone you’re looking for is! Even if you kill me right here, you won’t be able to escape.” Joseph, despite his fear of pain, defiantly shouted, “If I leave here alive today, I guarantee you’ll spend the rest of your life in prison.”
