Chapter 245 No One Dared to Respond
Lucas believed that within his hallucination, he existed like a god.
He could control everything effortlessly.
Because within the hallucination, he could conjure the most terrifying things that resided in people’s hearts.
For example, if one feared ghosts, then in this hallucination, everything around him would transform into the horrifying shapes of spirits that he feared the most.
If one feared snakes, then in this hallucination, everything around him would become poisonous snakes, coiling around him and ready to devour him.
Even someone he feared or childhood traumas would appear in multiple ways. And so on. The hallucination perfectly manifested the deepest fears and darkness in the human heart.
At this moment, Darius and Chad saw his childhood trauma teacher, and the other saw Vulture
before him.
Both of them were terrified, left without the means to fight back or flee, so they opted to cower and face their impending doom.
However, this illusion did not affect Leones.
In Leones‘ eyes, all illusions were false, and he could see Lucas‘ true self.
As for those apparitions, they were as inconsequential as air.
Of course, Lucas was unaware of what Leones saw.
Like the other two, he still thought Leones was about to fall into tremendous panic.
Little did he know that Leones had already seen through everything.
As the menacing figures around him opened their greedy mouths as if ready to consume Leones, he casually waved his hand. All the surrounding illusions vanished like bubbles.
“How can this be?” Lucas was astonished.
It was completely different from what he had expected!
He never dreamt that his hallucination would be broken so easily by Leones.
“Impossible!” Lucas tried again, creating more illusions gathering around Leones, trying to destroy Leones‘ confidence by pointing to the deep fear in his heart.
But Leones continued to advance and raised his hand again.
One after another, the surrounding illusions popped like balloons pricked by pins, all fading
away.
The distance between Leones and Lucas was getting closer.
Seeing Leones approaching step by step, Lucas was genuinely panicking.
He wanted to replicate his escape from the last time and run away when things looked bad.
But this time, Leones wouldn’t give him that chance.
“Last time, I let you get away. Consider yourself lucky. I never expected you’d dare to come back and meet your doom. Well then, I must ensure you don’t leave this time!”
As he spoke, Leones drew his three Firefly Swords, and with a swift motion, they shot out like a shooting star.

Lucas tried to flee, but Leones‘ sword was even faster.
The blade’s projectiles pierced Lucas‘ chest one after the other.
Lucas fell to the ground, convulsed for a few seconds, and died instantly.
With Lucas‘ sudden death, the surrounding hallucinations, like smoke and dust, disappeared.
The crowd of people entering the airport immediately appeared in Leones‘ sight.
At this moment, a group gathered around the fallen Lucas, discussing and whispering, secretly shocked.
“What happened to this person? Is he dead?”
“Look at this person. Half of his face is covered in thick hair. Is he even human?”
“This person is so strange, so frightening! His face and hands are covered in thick hair. Is he a throwback to an earlier stage of evolution?”
Because of Lucas‘ strange appearance, even his death caused a commotion.
People didn’t know whether he was a human or a monster.
Leones ignored the commotion over there.
Instead, he walked over to Darius and Chad, who were cowering with their heads.
Leones gave them a big shake to wake them.
- up.
“Ghosts! Mr. Bloom! There were ghosts!” Although Darius had recovered from the hallucination, the fear in his heart hadn’t completely dissipated.
When he saw Leones before him, he immediately rushed forward, grabbed Leones‘ arm, and clung to him like a frightened kid seeking safety.
Leones couldn’t help but smile wryly and pushed him away, saying, “Open your eyes wide and look carefully. This is an airport, and it’s broad daylight. There are no ghosts here. I think you’re extremely terrified.”
It took Darius quite some time to completely recover from his childhood trauma, but he still clung to Leones for a sense of security.
“What just happened?” Chad also looked as if he had been through a terrifying experience.
In the hallucination, he had faced Vulture and almost lost his nerve.
Leones said calmly, “We encountered an old friend, but it’s all over now. I’ve dealt with it.”
As they passed by the gathering crowd, both of them glanced over and saw the bizarre state of Lucas, and they immediately understood that this person’s secret actions had caused everything. Chad, still with lingering fear, said, “Your Majesty, you’re still impressive.”
After leaving the airport, the three went outside, ready to take a taxi directly to the Johnson
Manor.
“Take us to the local billionaire’s house,” Leones said after getting into the car.
“The billionaire’s house?” The taxi driver’s face turned pale when he heard that and asked, “Are you talking about the Johnson Manor?”
Leones laughed. “Yes. How many billionaires do you have in Fatuma?”
“No way!” With a definite refusal answer, the driver didn’t hesitate and immediately kicked them
out of the car.
“What’s going on?” Leones was puzzled.
“I’m not quite sure.” Although Chad had been wandering around Fatuma for years, he hadn’t taken many taxis or been to the Johnson Manor, so it was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
“Maybe it’s because they owe the Johnson family money?” Darius suggested, continuing to take another taxi.
As a result, when the driver heard they wanted to go to the Johnson Manor, he didn’t say a word and just drove away, speeding away from them.
Now, all three felt that something had happened.
Going to the Johnson Manor was not like going to a funeral. Was it necessary to react like this? “Just drive around wherever you like,” Leones said, handing another driver a hundred–dollar bill. “We’re new here. Take us for a little tour. And by the way, we have a few questions for you.”
The driver, seeing generous out–of–town customers, immediately became cheerful.
The driver said, “You’ve found the right person and gotten into the right taxi. I’m at
third–generation local. I’ve been everywhere in Fatuma since I was a kid. There’s no place I haven’t been and nothing I don’t know!”
“What do you want to ask?” The driver eagerly offered to help.
Leones asked with interest, “Is that so? Then there’s a place I’m not sure you’ve been to.”
“Where?” The driver asked.
Leones continued, “Have you been to the Johnson Manor?”
The driver, upon hearing this, was immediately taken aback, slammed on the brakes, and came to
a stop.
He asked, “What are you trying to find out?”
