Chapter 837: I’ll Handle It
“How dare you talk to me like that? This is the Dempseys’ turf!”
Jessey was terribly frightened, but at the thought that this was the Dempseys’ turf and that they had made many preparations with the support of the Smiths’ powerhouses, he felt a sense of security and hollered at Lucas.
Lucas glanced at him and said coldly, “Kill him!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jordan suddenly moved!
The two bodyguards who had just walked toward Jordan were instantly sent flying by Jordan’s kicks.
The next moment, Jordan had already appeared in front of Jessey and squeezed his throat with one hand.
Jessey’s face was full of fear, but before he could even say anything, he felt an immense force on his neck.
Snap!
Jordan crushed his throat!
Only when Jessey’s head drooped down and his body stopped moving did Jordan let go. His body crumpled to the floor. The people around them were shocked that Jessey died just like that!
All of them stared at the scene in front of them, dumbstruck. This surreal feeling made them feel like they were in an absurd dream.
Who could believe that Jessey, a direct descendant of the Dempseys, would actually be killed at the wedding held by the Dempseys?!
How could these… two young people have the guts to do this?!
They obviously knew that they would end up forming a feud with the Dempseys and that both the Dempseys and the Smiths definitely wouldn’t let them off.
Do these two have a death wish?
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief, feeling shocked and puzzled.
Jordan, who had just crushed Jessey’s throat, calmly grabbed a wet tissue from the table, carefully wiped his hands, and then returned to Lucas’s side. He picked up the bottle of wine and refilled his glass.
Seeing Jordan’s movements, everyone looked at Lucas in horror.
Indeed, Jordan’s act of snapping Jessey’s neck in an instant was shocking. But Lucas, who was drinking wine, was even more terrifying!
Based on their movements and behavior, Jordan was obviously deferential to Lucas. Like just now, if he hadn’t ordered Jordan to kill Jessey, Jordan wouldn’t have done so at the Dempseys’ wedding.
What is this young man’s identity?
Not everyone had seen the scions from the eight giants of DC, “Search our n?wn0?el.?rg”but they had basically seen photos of them and knew what they looked like, lest they offended a big shot.
But the young man in front of them was a fresh face whom they completely couldn’t recognize. They didn’t know which family he was from at all.
Many people were making speculations in their heads that Lucas was probably the heir of a secretly powerful family or an unknown illegitimate son of one of the eight great families in DC.
“Son! What happened to my son?!”
Suddenly, a furious roar filled the air in the banquet hall as a middle-aged man of about fifty in a black suit hurried over from the other end of the hall.
There was a bright red corsage pinned to his chest, and his hair, which was initially neatly combed back, fell in front of his forehead messily because of his running.
The middle-aged man was Sylvester, Jessey’s father!
“Ah!!! Son!”
When he arrived, Jessey, who was slumped on the ground and had already stopped breathing, shouted in anger and grief before leaping toward Jessey’s cold body.
The guests next to him had extremely complicated expressions.
The groom of the wedding was Sylvester’s other son.
It was originally a joyous occasion, yet his son died at the wedding venue of his other son. It was really a saddening example of how unpredictable life could be.
Holding Jessey’s corpse, Sylvester suddenly raised his head and stared at Lucas and Jordan. “You two… actually killed my son! I won’t let you off!
“I won’t let you leave this place today. The two of you must die together with my son!” he roared with resentment and murderous intent in his eyes.
But Lucas acted as if Sylvester didn’t exist at all and simply disregarded his words. He remained seated calmly and continued drinking wine.
He came here today for Jordan and Maddy’s sake. As long as Jordan could handle the situation, he wasn’t going to make a move.
Besides, the person he was waiting for should be coming soon.
“Young man, which family are you guys from? What kind of grudges do you have against the Stones and the Dempseys?
“It was supposed to be a great day for the Stones and the Dempseys to become in-laws, yet you killed one of us. How arrogant of you!
“If you can’t give us a reasonable explanation, I’m afraid you two will have to stay here forever!”
A middle-aged man with large eyes and thick eyebrows walked over.
There was also a red corsage on his chest.
Since he claimed to be from the Stone family and also had a corsage pinned to his chest like the groom’s father, Sylvester, it meant that he was the father of the bride, Carlos Stone!
A trace of interest flashed in Lucas’s eyes the moment he appeared.
The person he was waiting for finally arrived.
It was Lucas’s first time meeting Maddy’s father. Jordan had already found out his appearance when he was spending time with Maddy in the past.
After hearing Carlos’s accusations, Jordan not only did not lose his temper, but he even lowered his head a little, seemingly finding it hard to face Carlos.
Carlos was stunned for a moment.
After just seeing Jordan strangle Jessey with his bare hands, Carlos was scrupulous toward him.
But he had no choice but to step forward and say what he did because the Stones and the Dempseys were about to become in-laws. If he still didn’t step forward to say something at this moment, it would definitely result in severe consequences.
However, Carlos never thought that Jordan, who had just killed someone like they were a chicken, would have such an expression.
He… seems to be somewhat afraid of me?
Wh-what exactly is going on?
However, before Carlos could wonder for long, Lucas, who had been sitting in his seat without moving, slowly stood up and looked at Carlos.
“Hello, Mr. Stone. I’m here today to ask for your daughter’s hand in marriage on behalf of my buddy Jordan!
“I hope that you will let your daughter, Maddy, marry Jordan!”
