SWNOVELS Chapter 127
Chapter 127 Rogue Casino
The gun-shot was practically deafening in the silent casino, leaving everyone in a daze.
The next second, all eyes landed on Sylvain. Upon seeing the thumb-sized hole at his temple, everyone stopped short in shock. Lucian was the only one who shook his head, pity flashing in his
eyes.
Everyone was scared out of their wits!
The son of the Guevara family had died just like that…
“Thud.” Just as everyone was still in shock, Sylvain’s body fell onto the ground heavily with a dull thud.
Rumble…
The second he hit the floor, the room grew abuzz with panic.
“Mr… Mr. Guevara.”
William howled out loud, his face paling upon realizing that the man lying on the ground was not responding at all. It was his fault, technically- he had been the one provoking Sylvain to fire that shot.
It could be said that a third of the responsibility for Sylvain’s death was on William.
“How dare you, Lucian! Mr. Guevara is dead because of you!”
William’s brain turned at top speed, shoving all of the blame onto Lucian.
After all, Lucian had been the one playing the dangerous game with Sylvain. Thus, Sylvain’s death was largely tied to Lucian.
Technically speaking, Lucian was the cause of Sylvain’s death.
“You ba stard, I’ll f*cking kill you.”
One of the bodyguards flew into a rage, staring daggers at Lucian. He took out a gun from his pocket, firing three shots consecutively at Lucian.
“Watch out!” Rosine cried out at the sight.
Lucian acted fast, falling to the ground the second the gun was drawn. All three bullets went into the wall.
“What, are you being a sore loser?”

“I said that he could pass, but he didn’t take the chance.”
Lucian got up from the ground, his expression cold.
“Shut your mouth, you killed Mr. Guevara.”
William pointed at Lucian, roaring at the bodyguards. “What are you standing there for? Lucian’s the reason Mr. Guevara is dead, kill him and avenge Mr. Guevara! Get him!”
The bodyguards exchanged a glance, before pouncing on Lucian murderously.
“How dare you.”
A murderous air radiated off Lucian that made the temperature in the room drop several degrees. He rushed up to the bodyguards like a dragon emerging from the sea, knocking every single one of them out in a matter of seconds.
“Let’s go.”
Lucian had not expected for things to go this far. That maniac Sylvain had actually shot himself to death.
They still had time to leave.

Once the news got to the people in the casino, they would swarm over for sure and block them off. Lucian was not afraid of his own safety, but could not just leave Simon and his family behind
like that.
“Come on, stop them. Don’t let them get away.”
William appeared to be furious, crying out loudly as he ran out of the room. “Stop those people! They’re the reason Mr. Guevara’s now dead, stop them… Help…”
The cry exploded in the crowd like a bomb, causing everyone to grow abuzz.
“Get him, get him!”
Just then, one of Sylvain’s assistants rushed out of the room and pointed at Lucian and the rest. “Mr. Guevara’s dead because of them, we can’t let them go.”
Everyone knew Sylvain’s assistant, and there was no way she would lie.
The next second, the security guards in the casino drew their weapons and began a fierce chase on Lucian and the rest. At the same time, the head of security at the front was barking into his walkie-talkie, “Lock all the doors in the casino! Look out for a group of three men and two women trying to escape, and don’t let them out! They killed Mr. Guevara.”

They killed Mr. Guevara…
The news rang through the casino like a virus, making everyone who heard it reel in shock. All the guards drew their weapons, and a witch hunt for Lucian and the rest broke out.
“Lucian, what are we going to do?”
Rosine followed closely behind Lucian, her voice trembling with fear.
“Come with me. Get out first.”
Lucian’s goal was certain, and that was to charge out of the casino with these four first. That way he would be able to hold up many people in one place, and create an opportunity for the other four to leave. There were too many people in the casino, and one wrong move would result in their demise.
Just then, there were almost a hundred people at the casino entrance. The way out was blocked completely.
“He’s here!”
The security guard by the door brandished a cleaver at Lucian, his expression murderous as he roared, “Kill him, and avenge Mr. Guevara.”
“Kill him…”
“Kill him!”
The cries of fury rang through the casino, staying in the air for a long time.
“Take care of yourselves.”
Lucian looked at the crowd charging over, his eyes glinting murderously as he ran headfirst into them.
In the blink of an eye, the crowd had completely covered Lucian.
“Quick, hide. Don’t make things harder for Lucian.” Simon still had his mind intact. They were all regular people, and there was no way they could help Lucian. The best thing they could do now was to protect themselves.
The family of four hid in a small room during the ruckus, boarding the door shut so no one would see them.
“Dad, let’s call the police.”
“Lucian will die out there, fighting all those people on his own.”

Rosine was close to tears, trembling all over at the mere thought of what had happened just now. There were over a hundred people at the door, and a few more hundred at the back. How was Lucian going to be any match?
“Give the Azure Dragon War King a call.”
Just then, Denise remembered Lucian’s relationship with the Azure Dragon War King and said immediately, “Lucian fought with him before. Calling him now is the only way we can save
Lucian.”
“Well, I don’t have his number.” Simon’s forehead was beading with sweat, as well as his palms.
“There was a news session on the TV that talked about the Infernal War King leading the Azure Dragon War King into taking down some foreign forces, and there was a hotline on the screen you could call to reach the Azure Dragon War King.” Rosine was a girl who loved watching the news, and she remembered this at once.
She moved quickly, searching up the video of the news on her phone and finding the hotline.
“Hello? I’m looking for the Azure Dragon War King. His friend in battle Lucian Gray’s been surrounded at the Guevara Casino, please come help him.”
Simon did not hesitate as soon as the call connected, describing everything at once.
The person who picked up was a soldier. He was a little confused by the voice in the call, but called the Azure Dragon War King at once after hanging up anyways and told him everything.
Upon finding out about the news, the Azure Dragon War King called upon a troop of a thousand armed soldiers and rushed to the casino.
The fight was at its peak then.
Lucian was the best fighter in Vandergrift. There was hardly anyone that could beat him, and his skills were impeccable. These weaklings were hardly any match for him, and within ten minutes hundreds of bodies were writhing on the ground in pain and agony.
