Lucas looked at the twin powerhouses in front of him, and a trace of coldness appeared in his eyes.
In fact, Lucas could already sense the presence of these two experts hiding behind Felix a long time ago. After all, as the head of the Howard family, Felix would never have only one expert protecting him.
After Jordan killed the middle-aged expert earlier, these two had already seemed to be tempted to take action.
But Lucas didn’t expect that Felix would suddenly make things hard for him after he refused to become the future successor of the Howards and get these two experts to deal with him.
The aura of these twin experts was extremely powerful. Any one of them was likely on par with Jordan.
This was astonishing.
Who knew where Felix found these experts. Not only were they extremely strong, but they were actually twins too. As one of the eight top families of DC, the Howards were indeed very extraordinary.
Moreover, Lucas also noticed that since these twin experts appeared, Samuel, Ezra, and the others all had obvious traces of surprise on their faces. Clearly, they didn’t even know of the existence of these experts before this.
There was an intense murderous intent in Lucas’s eyes as he stared hard into Felix’s eyes and said coldly, “I’ve already said that he’s my brother! If you call him that derogatory term again, I won’t let you off even though you’re Cheyenne’s grandfather!”
His warning immediately made Felix feel an icy cold pressure overwhelming him, causing him to shiver.
Being warned like this by this junior, Felix was naturally very annoyed and wanted to reprimand him. But when he saw the dangerous gaze in Lucas’s eyes, he couldn’t say a word about his anger and instead swallowed it all.
At this moment, Lucas was indeed too terrifying. Felix had no doubt that if he continued to call Jordan a lackey, Lucas would really fall out with him!
“H-how dare you threaten me?” Felix pointed at Lucas, his face flushed with anger.
The twin experts behind him stepped forward, flanking Felix on both sides to protect him while releasing a strong pressure toward Lucas.
At the same time, their two faces looked grave. They could sense an incredibly majestic aura from the young man in front of them, making neither of them dare to have the slightest negligence.
“Since you’ve said so, I’ll show you what a real threat is!”
Lucas sneered as he suddenly raised his foot and stomped the floor.
Bang!
When Lucas’s foot landed on the floor, the sturdy and flat wood floor seemed to encounter an invisible shock wave that exploded in all directions with Lucas’s foot as the center!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
This devastating force destroyed the solid wood floor and caused the splinters to fly everywhere!
Amid the horrified gazes of everyone, the shock wave spread out quickly, shattering the entire floor of the banquet hall before stopping with a bang!
From the start until the end, Lucas remained calm as the debris flew everywhere. It was as if he hadn’t used much strength when he stomped on the floor!
…
Everyone in the hall looked astonished!
It was just one stomp, but it could release such terrifying power… If it landed on a human, they definitely wouldn’t be able to survive!
Even the eyes of the twin experts guarding Felix were full of shock.
They thought to themselves that even if they stomped on the floor, even though they would be able to shatter the floor of nearly 200 square meters, they definitely wouldn’t be able to do it as effortlessly as Lucas did.
The young man in front of them was terrifyingly strong!
They initially thought that Lucas was a scion comparable to one from the eight top families of DC while Jordan was the subordinate he recruited, just like they were experts working for the Howards.
But they didn’t expect him to be even more terrifying than Jordan!
He was the truly formidable leader, while Jordan was just his follower!
It would be a piece of cake for Lucas to destroy the eight top families of DC without much effort at all!
Felix’s shrewd and indifferent eyes were also full of shock and fear at this point.
At this moment, he suddenly seemed to understand the things Lucas had said when he rejected the position of helmsman.
Indeed, with his terrifying power, regardless of which family he wanted to deal with, they wouldn’t be unable to fight back.
As long as he wanted, he could easily get power, status, wealth, etc.
But he didn’t take a liking to these things at all because what he pursued was transcendent glory that people like Felix would never be able to attain in their lifetime!
“For Cheyenne’s sake, I can not hold it against you. But if you have a death wish, I can fulfill it!” Lucas said coldly and turned around to leave.
Now, the Howards no longer dared to stop him.
After Lucas and Jordan left, the banquet hall fell dead silent again.
The energy Lucas just displayed was far beyond their imagination, making them feel horrified and dread. There was nothing they could say.
“Did I just… do something wrong?” Felix murmured while staring in the direction that Lucas’s figure vanished.
He had to admit that he was full of regret now. If he had known that Lucas himself possessed such incredible power, he would have communicated with Lucas using another method, and things wouldn’t have turned into the way they were now.
Samuel stood at the side quietly, full of fear.
When he thought of how many times he had tried to kill Lucas, he broke out in cold sweat.
Lucas had such terrifying strength and power. If he had really angered Lucas, he would probably be dead by now!
At the side, Erza also had immense horror in his eyes.
But at the thought of his goal, he gritted his teeth again, revealing his determination to achieve it!
His grandfather was now 75 years old and might only live for a few more years. In that case, he had to think of a way to obtain the position of successor from his grandfather. Otherwise, he would lose his position forever!
Although his grandfather had temporarily removed Samuel’s status as successor, he might regain it anytime. After all, Samuel was Felix’s only son, and he had a great deal of power that wouldn’t be lost easily.
As for Florence, she was not to be belittled either. Although she was a woman, she was ambitious and hungry for power. Moreover, she now had a terrifying son-in-law. If Lucas decided to help her, she would have a great chance of winning in the end.
So no matter what, he had to get rid of Lucas first!
A flash of murderous intent appeared in Ezra’s eyes.
Felix slowly stood up from his seat, looked around at the Howards in the hall, and ordered, “From today onward, no one in the family is allowed to provoke Lucas. Anyone who disobeys will be disowned immediately!”
The Howards looked at each other in shock.
Then Felix looked at Florence and slowly said something that shocked everyone. “If you can salvage the relationship between Lucas and the Howards and get him to help us, I can hand over the position of helmsman to you!”
