Chapter 209: Arrived at the Door
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Stanley’s voice was extrely calm, and he didn’t seem to have any fear of death or desire to live. It was as if he was saying sothing as simple as ‘it’s ti to eat’.
Andrew’s eyes widened in shock, and he was speechless for a while.
He could tell that Stanley had really decided to leave the Brookes, even if it ant that he had to die!
In fact, Stanley was already bent on dying now.
Andrew frowned. It was completely different from the outco that he wanted to see. His goal wasn’t to kill Stanley.
He lowered his voice and softly advised, “Stanley, you’re only in your early forties now, and you still have decades of good tis waiting for you in a bright future. So, why do you have to be so stubborn? Actually, if you stay with the Brookes, it’d be good for both you and everyone. Don’t you agree?
“If you’d like, I can give you a luxurious villa and let you enjoy an endless amount of money and fortune. If you want a partner, I can find you all kinds of beautiful won to choose from. Even if you’ve gotten sick of killing, I can also arrange a more relaxed job for you, as long as you agree to stay with the Brookes and help us out when we’re in need.
“Stanley, look, I’ve already said so much and made a compromise. Are you still going to put us in a life and death struggle?”
Andrew persuaded Stanley by offering him tempting benefits, especially the last concession about letting Stanley retire from doing those dirty deeds again.
If it was in the past, Stanley might have really agreed to it.
Unfortunately, Andrew had already offended Lucas, the captain of the Falcon Regint. This predetermined that Stanley wouldn’t stay with the Brookes and help them to deal with Lucas.
Stanley shook his head. “Andrew, I won’t change my mind. If you don’t let leave, I’d rather die.”
Andrew imdiately seed disappointed, and at the sa ti, he was puzzled too. Stanley was fine before this. Why is he acting like another person after returning from Orange County? Why does he insist on leaving the Brookes?
Despite finding it a pity, Andrew had no choice but to choose to kill soone who insisted on leaving the Brookes and was no longer of any use to them.
Only by killing Stanley could the Brookes guarantee that he wouldn’t reveal their dark secrets and that he wouldn’t be taken in by an enemy and turn against them.
Although Stanley’s death would also bring a lot of trouble to them, their enemies would still be deterred from confronting them as long as they remained tight-lipped and didn’t let outsiders know that he was dead.
Just as Andrew was clenching his jaw and planning to order these elite henchn to shoot, there was suddenly a loud voice coming from outside the hall. “Hey, it’s so lively here now! Are they starting a fight?”
Everyone looked over in the direction of the voice.
Two tall and slender figures in their twenties entered through the gate one after another.
Stanley turned over and saw Jordan at the back with a single glance. It was Jordan who said those words.
The person in front of Jordan...
Stanley’s breathing suddenly beca quicker, and he had a burning gaze in his eyes as he stared at Lucas’s face without blinking.
It was a very young and handso face belonging to soone who seed to be about 27 or 28 years old and was tall and toned. He was emitting a domineering aura that wasn’t to be defied, and he was obviously a powerful and mighty figure.
This must be the person Jordan ntioned!
Lucas Gray, the leader of the Falcon Regint!
Stanley couldn’t help getting excited.
He had left the Falcon Regint ten years ago, and Lucas had only joined the Falcon Regint six years ago, so it was the first ti he t Lucas.
“Who are you?” Andrew frowned as he looked at the two uninvited strangers in front of him.
Although the Brookes had dealt with Lucas for so ti, Aston had always been the one communicating with him because the latter was in Orange County. Andrew had never seen Lucas before.
After taking a clear glimpse at Lucas’s face, the butler standing beside Andrew instantly seed horrified!
Although he hadn’t seen Lucas with his own eyes, the butler had just handed over a copy of Lucas’s information that he had collated to Stanley a few hours ago. So he had seen Lucas’s picture.
It’s Lucas Gray!
He’s actually here at the Brookes’!
The butler’s face paled, and he hurriedly ca over to Andrew to remind him who Lucas was.
But Lucas beat him to it and said with a smile, “Mr. Brooke, we finally et.”
Hearing Lucas’s slightly familiar voice, Andrew first froze for a mont before quickly realizing what was going on. He pointed at Lucas and hollered, “Lucas Gray! You must be Lucas Gray!”
Just a few hours ago, he had had a brief conversation with Lucas through Aston’s phone. So he had a vivid mory of Lucas’s voice!
“Not bad. You have quite a good mory, Mr. Brooke. You managed to recognize my voice.” Lucas openly admitted to his identity.
Andrew’s eyes were imdiately full of murderous intent as he laughed maniacally and nacingly. “Hahahaha! I was just worried that Stanley might not be able to kidnap you, but I didn’t expect you to co here of your own accord! You’ve crippled my most promising and my favorite grandson, so be prepared to stay in the Brookes forever to atone for your sins!”
Andrew issued an order, and half of the 30 people who had their guns aid at Stanley in the hall imdiately turned and aid their guns at Lucas and Jordan, who were standing outside the door of the hall.
Seeing this, Stanley panicked and looked at Jordan and Lucas anxiously and worriedly.
He wasn’t afraid of death, nor was he afraid of how many guns were aid at him.
But if he ended up causing Lucas and Jordan to die here, he would die with guilt and without peace of mind even if he also lost his life!
After making brief eye contact with Stanley, Lucas imdiately looked away, but he could see the worry in his eyes and couldn’t help but feel a little comforted.
Lucas ca here today with the intention to take a look at the forr captain of the Falcon Regint’s assault team. Indeed, Stanley didn’t disappoint him.
Facing the dozen or so pistols being pointed at him, Lucas maintained the sa expression and said calmly, “What? Do you want to kill ?”
Lucas’s calmness made Andrew despise him, and he couldn’t help but get even more furious.
“Lucas Gray, I have to admit that you do have a lot of guts! But since you’ve crippled my grandson, I definitely won’t let you off! Don’t worry. I won’t kill you easily. I’ll definitely lock you up and let you enjoy all the misery and agony there is in this world before sending you on your way!” Andrew roared with resentnt and malice all over his face.
But Lucas suddenly smiled. “Just a few days ago, there was also a family that thought they were very powerful. And like you, they pointed more than ten pistols at while threatening . Do you know what happened to them next?”
