Chapter 438: Midnight Horror
Elijah rarely saw his brother behaving in such a terrifying manner with such a murderous expression. He was extrely frightened and hurriedly explained, “No, it wasn’t . It was Tristan who hired the hitman! I just watched from the side! I didn’t do anything at all!”
“Idiot!” Callum cursed furiously. “I told you after we left the auction in Orange County that Lucas Gray has a rare Black Diamond Card, and regardless of how he got it, it’s indeed a status symbol. I told you not to offend him!
“Moreover, there was never a feud between us two and Lucas Gray in the first place. We ended up getting into a conflict with him only because of that dimwit Tristan Parker. Why are you so silly as to get involved in their feud? Why are you still being so foolish and hanging out with Tristan Parker?!”
Callum was panting heavily and feeling a strong urge to beat his senseless younger brother up.
Elijah was also starting to feel terrified at this mont. All the signs indicated that Lucas probably really wasn’t soone to be trifled with. Why did I let Tristan instigate into taking revenge on Lucas Gray?
He had the guts to beat up even the scion of the Benson family. It’d be a piece of cake for him to beat up!
“Callum, what should I do now? Had I known this earlier, I would have never gone to provoke him! But now that I have offended him, what should I do? Will he also get soone to co break my legs?” Elijah was terrified and flustered.
Callum glared at his younger brother furiously. “Now you know to be scared, huh? What did you do previously? But you don’t need to worry. If he really wanted to deal with you, he wouldn’t have let you off so easily just now.”
Only then did Elijah heave a sigh of relief.
“Let ask you again. Do you really have nothing to do with that hitman Tristan Parker hired?” Callum was still ill at ease about his silly brother and thus asked further.
Elijah’s expression was a little unnatural, and after panting for a long ti, he admitted, “That hitman asked for a million dollars. I... forked out three hundred thousand!”
“You idiot!!” Callum flew into a rage and slapped Elijah brutally on his face.
“How dare you lie to when I asked you about it just now!?! Do you know how serious the consequences of hiding this matter from are?” Callum was livid.
Elijah put a hand on his face and said tearfully, “Callum, what’s done can’t be undone even if you beat to death now. Quick, help think about what I should do now!”
He was just as terrified because if Lucas found out that he was also involved in hiring the hitman to kill him, Lucas definitely wouldn’t spare him!
Callum glowered at Elijah in exasperation. After thinking about it, he could only say, “I can’t make a decision on this matter. Let’s wait until we go ho and ask Dad about it before deciding what to do!”
——
anwhile, at the foot of Caldo Mountain, Tristan vaguely felt that sothing was amiss after the Owen brothers left.
The fact that Callum had suddenly tried to get close to Lucas while keeping a distance from him made Tristan sense that sothing major must have happened.
So he wasn’t in the mood to stay at Caldo Mountain any longer and drove back ho.
He reckoned that he would definitely find out after asking his brother, father, or grandfather about it once he got ho.
Caldo Mountain was located in the outskirts of LA, far away from the city center. When he was passing through a section of deserted woods, the street lights on both sides of the road suddenly went out all at once.
“Damn it!” Tristan was shocked, and he was in complete darkness. His car was the only one on the road.
For so reason, he had an extrely ominous hunch, and he felt that sothing dangerous was about to happen.
Tristan got the creeps and subconsciously turned up the volu of the rock music playing on the car stereo in a bid to relieve the panic within him with the noise.
At the sa ti, he also floored the gas pedal and drove out of the blacked-out area at top speed.
At this mont, a grayish-black object suddenly darted toward the windshield of the car!
Bang!
Due to the great speed of Tristan’s car, the mass of items pierced through the windshield and smashed into Tristan’s face!
“Ah!” Tristan’s nose bridge broke, and his eyes were injured. He shrieked in horror and turned the steering wheel in panic.
Boom!
The luxurious Lamborghini he was driving imdiately skidded off the road without control and crashed into the woods nearby.
Due to the high speed, the impact was extrely violent. The front of the car was stuck in a large tree and badly damaged.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Tristan was now covered in blood and squeezed against his seat. His bones were all distorted and broken.
Blood spewed out from the corners of his mouth, and his body twitched violently. Soon, he stopped moving.
A figure in black appeared a short distance behind the car like a ghost. Looking at the smoking hood of the car and the no longer breathing Tristan, the figure sneered and turned around to leave.
Soon, Lucas received a text. [Tristan Parker is dead!]
Before long, the sa piece of news spread like wildfire throughout LA.
Tristan Parker suddenly died in a car accident in the wilderness of the outskirts of LA, and it was obviously preditated!
In other words, soone deliberately killed a scion of the Parkers, a top family in LA!
LA was the Parkers’ turf, but now, Tristan was killed. It was not only a grievous matter for the Parkers but also a great humiliation!
At this mont, in the Parkers’ villa...
Tristan’s corpse had already been collected and placed properly on the ground in the middle of the living room.
He had died a miserable death. Not only were many of his bones broken and distorted due to the car accident, but there was also a large dent in his face from behind hit by a huge object.
There was a large gray stone the size of two fists with sharp edges beside his corpse.
There were no fingerprints on the stone, but the Parkers were very certain that the stone definitely didn’t fly into Tristan’s car and smash his head for no reason. It must have been a deliberate act!
