Lucas saw an unfamiliar Maserati sports car parked in front of his villa from afar. And when he got closer, he saw the two bodyguards fighting Wade, as well as the couple beside them, whom he had not seen before.
Lucas narrowed his eyes and alighted from the car with an icy cold aura. After Wade saw him, he threw a few hard punches, causing the two bodyguards to stumble backward several steps, and then walked to Lucas and said respectfully, “Lucas, you’re back.”
“Yeah.” Lucas stared at the situation in front and then asked indifferently, “What’s going on?”
Wade hurriedly gave him a brief explanation of what happened. “A while after Miss Carter and her family arrived, this man, who claims to be the scion of the Taylors, barged in and said lots of nasty things. He said that he wants to snatch this villa away and nab Miss Cheyenne and Charlotte.”
When Lucas heard this, anger surged within him, and he exuded a murderous aura while glaring daggers at the fat man not far in front of him.
Scott’s body suddenly stiffened under Lucas’s murderous gaze. Feeling extremely embarrassed, he hollered in fury, “Punk, what are you looking at? Listen up. I’m a Taylor, so you’d better…”
Before he could finish, he suddenly felt his vision blur, and in an instant, Lucas’s figure appeared in front of him like a phantom.
Smack!
With a hard and loud smack, Scott’s chubby body flew away like a ball and slammed hard against the trunk of a parasol tree a few meters away!
Bang! The tree shook, and countless leaves fell from the impact.
“Ah!” The long-haired beauty standing beside Scott screamed.
The two bodyguards clad in black widened their eyes and seemed to be in disbelief!
They were top international bodyguards whose skills had already surpassed the majority of people, but Lucas had moved so quickly that they couldn’t see anything at all. It was as if there was only an afterimage that flashed past, and in an instant, Lucas suddenly appeared beside Scott. Immediately afterward, the chubby Scott flew away!
The speed was simply terrifying!
Scott spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly sat up from the ground. Only after feeling the stinging pain on his face and the sharp, penetrative pain in his back did he snap back to his senses and realize that he had been hit by the punk Lucas!
Not only did he hit him, but he even slapped him on his face!
Scott held the tree trunk and got up from the ground with great difficulty. He then touched the blood flowing from his mouth and became furious. Glaring at Lucas with a gloomy gaze, he said through clenched teeth, “Asshole, how dare you hit me?! Do you know who I am? I’m from the Taylor family, one of the four greatest families of Orange County!”
Lucas glanced at him in disdain and said coldly, “I don’t care who you are. This is my home, and you’re trespassing on private property. You even tried to harm my family. If you’re tired of living, I can grant you your wishes now!”
Although the Taylors were one of the four major families of Orange County, Lucas didn’t care about his status or feel wary of him at all.
The Hales, who were also one of the four major families of Orange County, were destroyed overnight last night.
The Taylors were nothing.
“Punk, don’t go overboard! I’m telling you, the Taylors developed this villa, and I’m going to take it back from you now! Move out right now!” Scott roared while pointing at Lucas.
Lucas sneered and stared at Scott like he was looking at a fool. “Even though the Taylors were the developer of this property, I bought it a long time ago, so it’s now my private property. The title deed is under my name, and the Taylors were just the developer. What right do you have to take the house back?”
Scott was used to being a tyrant and instantly flew into a rage after this. Lucas made it sound as though the Taylors were only responsible for building the villa!
In fact, Lucas didn’t say anything wrong. But Scott was just putting on airs and taking himself too seriously because of his family’s status.
“Lucas Gray, don’t go too far! The Taylors have taken a fancy to your villa, and they want you to hand it back. We’re already showing you enough respect! You should know that no one in Orange County will have it easy after offending us!” Scott threatened while clenching his teeth.
“Hah, it’s my first time hearing that robbing someone is giving them respect. If you say so, then if I show up at your place, claim that I’ve taken a fancy to your home, and make your family vacate, does it mean I’m giving you respect?” Lucas gibed in derision.
“You! You’re just a punk who has no status and background. How are you worthy of being compared to the Taylors? Lucas Gray, don’t think that you’re a big deal just because you’re friends with Flynn Davis! Let me tell you, even if Flynn Davis stands right in front of me now, he wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant! The Stardust Corporation has long been separated from the Huttons. Even though he’s the general manager there, the Taylors aren’t scared of him!”
Lucas sneered in his heart.
Back then, the Stardust Group was backed by the Huttons, so the various families of Orange County dared not offend it. But now that the news of the Stardust Group’s separation from the Huttons had spread, these families became more and more arrogant, seemingly not taking the Stardust Corporation seriously anymore.
Hmph, the Huttons are nothing. One day, I’ll make sure these people regret what they said today!
“In that case, do you think that you can be tyrannical and act audaciously without restraint as long as you have a powerful background and status?” Lucas questioned with raised brows.
Scott said arrogantly, “Of course! We people from powerful backgrounds are certainly more noble and prestigious than you! Haha, are you disgruntled? I like watching how you people can’t do anything about me even though you hate me!”
Lucas sneered. “The Hales said the same thing to me last night, but before long, they were destroyed overnight. Are you eager for your family to end up like theirs?”
Scott’s face instantly turned a little sullen.
Some people from the Taylors had attended the Hales’ banquet last night, but Scott didn’t.
He only found out about it this morning when someone secretly informed him that the Hale family had offended a mysterious figure who caused all the direct descendants to be taken away by the military, causing the entire Hale family to be wiped out overnight. But the details couldn’t be revealed due to the military’s gag order.
After Scott heard what Lucas said, the first thing that he thought was that Lucas was just cursing his family. He flew into a rage and barked, “Punk, how dare you curse the Taylors!?! The Hale family ended up in such a terrible state because they offended a powerful figure they couldn’t afford to offend. Do you think you’re that big shot and can wipe out the Taylors? Dream on!”
Lucas felt that Scott was as dense as a pig, which simply matched his appearance, and immediately lost interest in talking. He simply pointed at the entrance and said calmly, “I can’t be bothered to talk to you. Now, get lost from my home immediately with these dogs of yours!”
