Chapter 1301 Brotherhood
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The following afternoon, when Lucas arrived at the Stardust Corporation’s headquarters, the seven families led by Norman had already transferred half of their assets to the Stardust Corporation.
Flynn was busy all morning and afternoon, so much so that he didn’t even have time for lunch, but he looked extremely excited.
Seeing Lucas arrive at the office, he walked over happily and reported, “Lucas, all seven families have completed the handover procedure. The Stardust Corporation has obtained a lot of properties and businesses! It didn’t take long for the news to spread, and the Stardust Corporation’s market value has risen by thirty percent. It’s expected to continue increasing, and it might even double!”
It was no wonder that Flynn was so elated. As the general manager, there was nothing more fulfilling than seeing the market value of the company rise significantly!
Lucas was calm because everything was already within his expectations.
“Give me a detailed summary of the businesses acquired today and then divide them into seven portions according to the comprehensive strength. I need them for something, and I won’t put them under the Stardust Corporation. I’ll arrange for other people to take them over.”
Flynn was slightly disappointed, but he knew that the Stardust Corporation wasn’t the only large enterprise that Lucas owned and that Lucas definitely had his own plans in mind for these companies. He didn’t dare to interfere, so he agreed immediately and then instructed his subordinates to summarize all the businesses as Lucas had ordered.
Sitting in the chairman’s office, Lucas made a call.
Soon, Jordan arrived at Lucas’s office. “Lucas, what’s the matter?”
Lucas cut straight to the chase and told Jordan about his plans to form the Dark Dragon Regiment together with the four families under him.
Jordan was surprised to hear this. Toward the end, his mouth widened in shock. “Lucas, did you call me here to appoint me as the leader of the Dark Dragon Regiment?”
“What’s wrong? Do you have any objections?” Lucas asked with raised brows.
Jordan frowned and said, conflicted, “Even though the people selected are the elites of the four families, aren’t they just a bunch of weaklings? The thought of having to train and lead such people makes me uncomfortable all over!”
He had been in DC for a while, so he was well aware of how competent the elites of the second-tier families really were. He could easily beat a hundred of them at once, so he really looked down on them.
Lucas said calmly, “If you really don’t want to, I’ll arrange for someone else to fill the position.”
Seeing Lucas looking a little sullen, Jordan hurriedly chuckled and said to make amends, “Lucas, I was just saying it for fun. Since you’ve decided to form the Dark Dragon Regiment, I naturally won’t reject you!
“Don’t worry, Lucas. I’ll definitely train them well. Even though they’re merely good-for-nothings now, I’ll turn them into true experts under my training!”
Lucas nodded.
In fact, Lucas had his reasons for getting Jordan to be the leader of the Dark Dragon Regiment, apart from the fact that Jordan’s skill sets were very suitable for the role.
Jordan had been Lucas’s loyal follower for years. They had fought on the battlefield of Calico and braved through thick and thin together. Later, he had even abandoned all his status and glory in the Falcon Regiment for Lucas’s sake.
Thus, Jordan was very special to Lucas.
He was not only Lucas’s subordinate and comrade but his brother.
But because Lucas’s and Jordan’s history in the military was confidential, no one else knew about it and thought that Jordan was merely an ordinary subordinate of Lucas’s.
Even the Stones, the family of Jordan’s fiancée, Maddy, thought that he was just a peon. Although they had allowed Maddy and Jordan to get married due to the pressure Lucas exerted and the fact that Maddy was in love with Jordan, the Stones actually didn’t take him seriously at all.
Lucas had also once thought of giving Jordan some companies before, but Jordan had turned him down, saying that he just wanted to work by his side.
Thus, when Jonah brought up the idea of forming the Dark Dragon Regiment, the first person who came to Lucas’s mind was Jordan, whom he thought was the most suitable candidate for being the leader.
Lucas knew that this force would definitely become stronger and stronger in the future. Although the Dark Dragon Regiment was now composed of only some ordinary experts, he was sure that the regiment would definitely become an extremely terrifying organization that would be known to all in DC.
When the time came, Jordan, the leader of the Dark Dragon Regiment, would become an existence that everyone looked up to, and no one would dare to belittle him again.
After seeing Jordan agree and thinking about Stones, Lucas asked, “By the way, your wedding is soon, right?”
The mention of the wedding put a blissful smile on Jordan’s face. He was grinning so widely that his teeth were showing. “Yeah, Maddy and I are holding our wedding in ten days!”
To be able to marry the woman he had been in love with for years, Jordan felt as if he was dreaming. Sometimes, he even woke up smiling.
Seeing his friend’s happy but silly grin, Lucas burst into laughter. “It looks like you’ve really become silly. I’m very happy that you can marry the love of your life, my brother!
“How are the wedding preparations going? Do you need any help? If you need anything, feel free to look for me or Cheyenne,” Lucas said sincerely.
Jordan was an orphan who had relatives. Since it was going to be his big day soon, Lucas was worried that he might encounter some difficulties during the preparations.
After thanking Lucas, Jordan touched his head and chuckled. “Thanks a lot, Lucas. Maddy and I have agreed that the wedding doesn’t have to be too big or lavish. We’ve decided to keep things simple, and she has basically already planned everything. There’s nothing else for me to prepare.”
Seeing how foolish his friend was behaving, Lucas was at a loss for words.
Jordan had left the wedding preparations entirely to Maddy to handle. Didn’t he think he should help out more?
Lucas was just about to say something, but he kept quiet after giving it some thought.
Fortunately, Maddy wasn’t an ordinary woman, and she understood Jordan’s character very well, so she chose to plan the wedding herself.
This was the tacit understanding between them. As an outsider, Lucas decided not to get involved.
“Okay, since you’ve already prepared everything for the wedding, I’ll give you a great gift on your big day!” Lucas said with a smile.
Jordan waved his hands nonchalantly and smiled. “As long as you show up on my big day and bear witness to my marriage, it’ll be the greatest gift to me!”
Lucas patted him on his shoulders and said, “Okay, I’ll be your witness then. It’s settled!”
The two looked at each other and laughed happily.
“Lucas, I’m flying to Las Vegas to see Brett Hamilton later. I’ll get going now!” Jordan said after looking at his watch.
This was a matter that had been decided previously. Lucas nodded and said, “Okay, go ahead, but the Hamiltons aren’t simple after all. Just teach him a small lesson so that he behaves himself. Don’t go too far. Also, pay attention to your safety. This is the most important thing.”
“Don’t worry, Lucas. It’s just the Hamiltons. It won’t be too dangerous.” Jordan waved his hands suavely before leaving.
Lucas remained in his office to read some documents, but for some reason, he kept feeling uneasy.
But he didn’t know where this uneasiness stemmed from.
