Chapter 1345 Crisis Of the Three Families
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
As soon as Adam saw Lucas's face, he immediately remembered everything he had gone through at the Howard residence.
It could be said that he would never forget the humiliation he suffered that day!
Previously, the Piers were scrupulous of Lucas's power, so they had no choice but to swallow their anger and endure not taking revenge on him.
But the situation was different now. The Piers no longer had to be afraid of Lucas. This time, he had to take revenge against him and return all the humiliation he had suffered!
“Lucas Gray, what are you being so arrogant for? Do you think you can do anything to me?” Adam shouted furiously.
Lucas looked coldly at him. “Immediately get lost with these people, and I can spare you and the Piers one more time.”
Hearing this, Adam immediately flew into a rage.
He hated that Lucas always behaved high and mighty in front of him, as if he was a god on a pedestal while he was just a nobody lying on the ground who could be manipulated by him!
The look in his eyes and the tone of his voice were extremely infuriating!
Adam gritted his teeth and roared angrily, “Damn it! Lucas Gray, you're already at death's door. Why are you still pretending to be a big shot?
“Do you think I don't know? You're just throwing your weight around in front of me because you have the backing of a few top families of DC!
“But now, Florence Howard, Michael Hutton, and Tyson Smith were assassinated, and their survival is still unknown. You're about to lose your backers. Who are you to behave arrogantly in front of me?
“You're the one eagerly courting death!”
Lucas immediately understood. No wonder this good-for-nothing Adam dared to show up in front of him and threaten him. It turned out that the Piers also knew about the assassination of the helmsmen.
Moreover, this probably wasn't all. The Hamiltons should have something to do with this.
They first sent some people to assassinate the helmsmen close to him and then disclosed the news to the families with grudges against him. With some words to sow discord and promises to give them some benefits, families like the Piers would definitely jump out eagerly to deal with him.
One, they already had a feud with Lucas to begin with, so this time, they were taking advantage of this opportunity to exact revenge. Two, they were also using this chance to express their goodwill to the Hamiltons to get closer to them.
Noble families like the royals were usually disdainful of wealthy families, thinking that they were obsessed with money and feeling that it would be degrading to befriend them.
Now that the Piers could befriend the Hamiltons through this incident, they were probably overjoyed.
Looking at Adam, who was behaving as proud as a peacock, Lucas mocked him mercilessly. “Hah, how stupid! You're being so smug and arrogant despite being led around by the nose by others. What a fool!”
“Damn it! Who are you calling a fool? You're the greatest fool of all, Lucas Gray!” Adam immediately sprung up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He retorted loudly, “Lucas Gray, you're the biggest fool yourself! Do you know that three families are about to be removed from the ranks of the eight top families of DC?!
“Aren't you friends with the Howards, the Huttons, and the Smiths? Hah, the helmsmen of these three families are severely wounded, and the other five families will soon jointly destroy them! When the time comes, I'll see what you have to rely on to speak so rudely in front of me!”
Lucas frowned.
The other five top families would be joining hands to destroy the Howards, the Huttons, and the Smiths?
Prior to this, the eight top families of DC, who were at the summit of DC, had cooperation and competition between them, but they all maintained a delicate balance. So after all these years, they had rarely fought on a large scale, let alone have several families joining hands to destroy other families.
But the balance between the eight top families had been broken now.
Today, Florence, the head of the Howards; Michael, the helmsman of the Huttons; and Tyson, helmsman of the Smiths, had all been assassinated. They were now hospitalized and in critical condition.
These three families were not peaceful in the first place, and there was plenty of hidden competition and tension within their respective families. Once the three helmsmen were gone, no one knew what would happen.
Many people in these three families were probably already starting to take action, thinking about how to take the position of helmsman for themselves.
Moreover, the Hamiltons were sowing discord. As long as the Hamiltons misled them and promised to give them some benefits, the remaining families would definitely eagerly want to eradicate the three families and split their assets among themselves!
At that time, the Howards, the Huttons, and the Smiths might really be annihilated!
The Hamiltons had indeed formulated a great plan!
The murderous intent in Lucas's eyes intensified. He had already decided that he wouldn't let the culprit off easily once he caught him!
Of course, they had to go through Lucas first if they wanted to destroy these three families!
Lucas shifted his cold gaze onto Adam. “You really don't plan on leaving with your people?”
Adam subconsciously shuddered in fear when he saw the cold and murderous look in Lucas's eyes.
But when he saw the more than a hundred experts around him, and when he thought of the fact that Lucas's backers would be annihilated soon and that he couldn't be arrogant in front of him anymore, Adam felt courage surge within him again.
“Lucas Gray, how dare you threaten me? Do you really think I'm scared of you?
“Open your eyes wide and take a good look at the situation. My people are surrounding you! Even if each of them only punches you once, they'll be able to break all your bones and make you wail loudly on the ground!
“Hahaha, I'll give you a chance. If you immediately kneel, kowtow to admit to your mistakes, and call yourself a piece of garbage, I will spare your life for now. How about it?”
Adam raised his head and laughed arrogantly.
The experts of the Piers surrounding them also burst into laughter.
“Kneel down and apologize to Mr. Adam immediately! Otherwise, you'll really be dead meat!”
“Everyone, get ready to teach this ignorant bastard a lesson. It's his punishment for speaking arrogantly and looking down on the Piers!”
“That's right. If you don't kneel down and apologize, we will beat you up!”
…
The experts of the Piers spoke extremely arrogantly.
