1347 Urgent Situation
Lucas’s actions once again shocked everyone who was about to attack.
At this mont, Edmund and Bruce also realized that the two of them had just almost been held hostage. They panicked and hurried to Lucas’s side.
If they had been caught by the Piers, they would definitely have beco bargaining chips for the Piers to use to threaten Lucas. They would have beco burdens to Lucas!
What a close shave!
They only thought that the Piers had co to target Lucas this ti, and they had never expected that the Piers would make a move against elderly n like them, causing them to almost fall into their trap.
Fortunately, Lucas’s reflexes were very fast, and he had rescued them at the critical mont!
Bruce and Edmund stood next to Lucas, looking warily at the Piers’ experts around them.
The rest of the Piers were naturally displeased. But one, Lucas’s skills were far beyond their imagination, and they still hadn’t figured out how he managed to form bullet hole-like wounds with his bare hand from so far away. The effects were even more terrifying than actual gunshot wounds. If anyone else went up, they would probably end up in the sa state as their leader!
And two, Lucas was now stepping on Adam. As long as he exerted so force, he might stomp Adam to death right on the spot.
Thus, with Lucas’s warning, everyone stood rooted to the ground, not daring to act recklessly.
Lucas lowered his head, looked coldly at Adam beneath his foot, and mocked, “Adam Piers, I’m stepping on you with my foot now. What can your people do to ?”
At this mont, Adam was no longer as arrogant as earlier. He had painstakingly co to his senses after almost suffocating to death. Now, the only thought he had was to beg Lucas to spare him.
“Mr. Gray, ahem… it’s my fault. I won’t dare to go against you anymore. I’ll definitely avoid you when I see you in the future. Please… please forgive this ti! I won’t dare to do it again!” Adam frantically begged Lucas for forgiveness.
He no longer cared about his dignity at this point.
If not for the fact that Lucas was still stepping on him, rendering him immobile, Adam would have already gotten down on his knees and begged Lucas for forgiveness.
Hearing Adam begging for forgiveness shalessly, the rest of the Piers looked extrely sullen.
At the sa ti, many of them felt relieved, knowing that they likely wouldn’t be blad for not taking action since even their boss was spinelessly begging for forgiveness!
Lucas pressed his foot down a little harder and questioned, “Adam Piers, you’re just a good-for-nothing. Who gave you the courage to bring so many people to besiege ? It definitely wasn’t your idea. Tell honestly right now. What other plans do the Piers have?! If you dare to hide anything, I’ll crush you to death right now!”
Adam felt his organs aching due to the massive pressure on his chest. For a mont, he really thought that they would be crushed by Lucas and was frightened out of his wits.
Adam shrieked in horror and frantically yelled, “Ahhh! Mr… Mr. Gray, please spare ! I’ll tell you everything. No matter what you want to ask, I will definitely tell you the truth and not hide a single thing from you!
“You’re right. I’m indeed too timid to deal with you. My father sent here to do this! He said that he doesn’t need to capture you. He said that I just had to take the Piers’ experts here and trap you here for around an hour to stall for ti!”
Lucas’s frown deepened, and he asked again, “The Piers sent you here to delay ? Who are you going to attack? Tell quickly!”
“Yes, I’ll say it! My father said that Florence Howard is now lying in the hospital, and the rest of the Howards are in discord. If we take action imdiately, we’ll be able to conquer the Howards in less than two hours!”
Adam frantically added, “And… we won’t be taking down only the Howards. The other families will be dealing with the Huttons and the Smiths. After tonight, the helmsn of the Howards, the Huttons, and the Smiths will all be replaced!
“And… once these three families are gone, Lucas, no, I an, Mr. Gray, your support in DC will be gone, and those families will co to deal with you at that ti! So… I advise you to leave DC as soon as possible!
“I’ve already told you everything I know, so please spare my life!”
In order to survive, Adam really revealed everything he knew. He even advised Lucas to flee DC.
Lucas’s expression was extrely gloomy.
He didn’t expect the situation in DC to beco so complicated within such a short ti.
Without a doubt, the Hamiltons were the ones who colluded with the other families to launch an attack on the Huttons, the Howards, and the Smiths while their helmsn were seriously injured and hospitalized.
Moreover, after the Hamiltons sent people to assassinate the helmsn of the families close to Lucas, there was nothing else they needed to do. With just so efforts to sow discord, the families harboring malicious intentions would imdiately take action.
The situation now was indeed terrible.
The incident happened all too suddenly, and the families close to Lucas were all in trouble at the sa ti. No matter how capable Lucas was, there was nothing he could do to save them since he didn’t have enough manpower.
“All those families should die!” Lucas sneered and kicked Adam’s head, knocking him unconscious.
Lucas looked around at the Piers’ goons and shouted coldly, “Inform Derek and Conrad Piers to leave the Howard residence imdiately. Otherwise, their son and grandson will die here!
“What are you waiting for? Get lost!”
The goons were terrified and didn’t dare to stay any longer. They hurriedly left and proceeded to report the situation to the two most authoritative people in the Piers family.
Only then did Edmund and Bruce heave a sigh of relief, but their tension didn’t ease at all.
They had heard everything Adam just said.
“Lucas, the situation is very unfavorable. What should we do now?” Edmund asked with a grim expression.
Looking at the two of them, Lucas instructed, “Listen up. Imdiately contact your family’s representatives. If any major family barges into your residence and tries to encroach on your properties, don’t resist! Just let them be! Prioritize the safety of your family first!
“Inform the Parkers to do the sa!”
Edmund and Bruce were astonished.
Lucas had never compromised in the past, but this ti, he actually told them to retreat and give in?!
