Chapter 853: Cunning
Vince was intimidated by Lucas’s aura for a while and felt so flustered that he couldn’t say a single word.
After a while, Lucas’s aura dissipated a little. He wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and chuckled loudly.
“Hah, Lucas Gray, I have to admit that you’re indeed very powerful! Even your subordinate could kill Steel-Claws, a top expert of my family.
“But you’re too arrogant! The Smiths are one of the eight most powerful families in DC for a reason. If you dare to break into our residence now, I’m afraid you’ll be killed before you even get to see Tyson, let alone ask him to hand the woman over!”
Vince didn’t believe that Lucas could leave the Smith residence alive.
In fact, after hearing that Lucas was going to break into the Smith residence, Vince was shocked and felt that it was a great opportunity.
If Lucas died in the Smith residence, it would be a good thing for Vince. As long as Lucas died, all the shame that Lucas made him suffer would be completely washed away.
But what Vince wanted more than Lucas’s death was the position of helmsman.
He wanted Lucas to live long enough to help him get rid of Tyson instead of barging into the Smith residence to die.
Thus, not only could he not watch Lucas go and die, but he had to stop him to keep him alive.
Lucas glanced at Vince before suddenly saying, “Although you’ve offended me several times, I don’t want to kill you now. I’ll leave you alive for now and let you see whether I can come back from the Smith residence alive or not!”
With that, Lucas stopped bothering with Vince and walked out of the hotel directly with Jordan.
Behind him, Vince realized that Lucas was really going to the Smith residence now, and he couldn’t help panicking.
“Hey! Do you know what you’re doing?
“Do you think you can deal with the Smiths with your strength alone? As long as you step foot into the Smiths’, you’ll definitely die miserably!
“Hey! Are you that eager to rush to death?”
Vince was really conflicted and anxious right now. He wanted to see Lucas die, but not now and not in this manner!
In his heart, it was absolutely impossible for Lucas to come back alive from the Smith residence. By barging into there, he would inevitably anger the camp represented by Tyson.
When the time came, he, the person who failed to stop Lucas and even allowed him to barge into the Smith residence, was bound to take a lot of blame. Moreover, the position of successor would move further and further away from him.
Lucas suddenly stopped and turned to look at Vince coldly. “You’re too noisy! I never let anyone question my decisions!
“I may have spared your life, but it doesn’t mean that I’ll keep tolerating you! If you continue to spout nonsense, you will die here!”
Vince shivered the moment he saw Lucas’s icy cold gaze.
He was well aware that Lucas was a man of his word. If he stopped him, Lucas might really kill him!
Thinking of this, Vince didn’t dare to utter another word and kept quiet.
Lucas and Jordan stopped looking at him and walked straight out of the hotel.
After the two of them left, Vince immediately took out his phone and made a call. “Dad, bad news. Lucas Gray refused to listen to me, and he’s now rushing over to our manor. He says he wants to kill the person plotting to kill him and save that woman!
“What should I do now?”
Hearing this, Thomas, who was in the Smith residence, was surprised. He didn’t expect Lucas to be so bold.
“Hmph, why are you so anxious? If that punk really comes, wouldn’t it be good too? He can help us kill a large number of Tyson’s men. If he can kill Tyson, it will indirectly help us achieve our goal.
“Even if he fails to kill Tyson and ends up dying in our manor, he’ll have also helped us weaken Tyson’s power. Regardless of what happens, it will be beneficial to us!”
Thomas was indeed worthy of being a sly old fox. He quickly analyzed the situation and deduced the scenarios most favorable to them.
After hearing what Thomas said, Vince was suddenly enlightened. “Right! Why didn’t I think of this? Regardless of whether he dies at the manor or not, it will be beneficial to us!”
“But, Dad, aren’t you in the Smiths’ manor now? What if Lucas Gray barges in and that old fogy Tyson orders you to lead the people to resist? What will you do? You can’t defy him openly, can you?” Vince hurriedly asked when he suddenly thought of something.
Thomas sneered. “Do you need to remind me of this? I’ve already thought of a countermeasure! Don’t worry about me. But you have to remember that you don’t have to interfere with the matter of Lucas Gray coming over to the manor. Don’t tell anyone about it either. Got it?”
“Yes, Dad! I know!” Vince immediately agreed.
After he hung up the phone, a sly smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
It seemed that the Smiths were going to have a good show today.
But as long as it had nothing to do with him and his father’s camp, he was glad to watch the fun.
In a villa in the southwest corner of the Smiths’ manor in DC…
After hanging up the phone, a smile slowly appeared on Thomas’s mouth. “I can’t believe that the illegitimate child expelled from the Huttons back then would become so powerful and dare to come to our home to cause trouble.
“But I’m really curious. He’s just an abandoned child of the Huttons. How did he grow to such a terrifying level within such a short period of time? What exactly did he encounter?
“If the Huttons knew how capable he is now, I bet they’d feel extremely complicated!
“Haha, I’m getting more and more excited to see just how much damage this kid Lucas can inflict on Tyson. I hope he doesn’t die too soon!”
...
Meanwhile, Lucas and Jordan walked toward the parking lot after leaving the Maestro International Hotel.
“Bastard, I’ve finally found you!”
But just as they were about to get in the car, an angry roar suddenly came.
The two of them turned around and saw a young man dressed in a punk style with lots of piercings on his ears and nose charging toward them furiously.
Lucas raised his eyebrows. They had met this young man before. He was Shane Dempsey, the arrogant person who had gotten into a conflict with Lucas at the airport.
With two bodyguards, he stared at Lucas and Jordan resentfully, clearly harboring hostile intentions.
