Lightning's men all stood in shock and despair.
The two coffins which they had brought were now filled with Scarface and Lightning's bodies.
If the doors were not locked, all of these underlings would have run out frantically.
Thomas, Jack, and the rest all started to look at Nathan Cross fanatically once more.
Nobody knew who was Lightning anymore.An important figure in the underworld? A man who would turn everyone pale in the Southern underworld?
In front of Nathan, he was mere prey and could be killed anytime.
After his quick and clean kill, Nathan raised both his arms and scanned the crowd around him as he challenged, "Come on! Who else wanted to send me to my death earlier?"
All of the men cringed at this.
A challenge?
What for?
Scarface was killed within a split moment even if he was the number-one fighter under Lightning.
Lightning himself was a warlord in the underworld and he was known for his fighting abilities. He was also killed within the second!
How could we as underlings challenge you?
Lightning's men immediately dropped their weapons and knelt down one by one. They begged in unison, "Mr. Cross, we were wrong earlier. Please forgive us! We will remember you as a generous man!"
Thomas scoffed, "Now you guys are afraid. What happened to the men that had locked us in, surrounding us in such a fierce manner earlier?"
All of them frowned and begged for mercy again, "We were wrong! We know that now! Please, just let us go!"
