Damon and Ray were both enraged.
They wished they could skin Lucas alive, but they had to apologize to Lucas and ask for his forgiveness under Edmund’s orders.
But they had now already returned to the Parker residence, and Lucas was being too much of a bully if he trespassed and barged into their home!
“Let’s go. I want to see what else he wants to do!” Damon was boiling with fury, and with a roar of exasperation, he led Ray to the gates of their residence.
Damon saw from some twenty meters away that Lucas was standing at the gates with Flynn. It seemed that they didn’t bring anyone else with them.
Given the current situation, they reckoned that Lucas probably wasn’t here to confront them and pick a fight. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so foolish as not to bring a bodyguard with him.
However, Damon was still as infuriated.
Many of the Parkers’ bodyguards were crowding around Lucas and glaring at him intently.
Although Lucas wasn’t from LA, and many of the Parkers didn’t know him, there were some who knew him, such as Kenneth. So Lucas was surrounded by the bodyguards as soon as he arrived at the Parker residence.
If not for the fact that Damon, the helmsman of the Parkers, had ordered them against doing so, they would have instructed their bodyguards to beat Lucas to death at the entrance as a warning to those who tried to harm them.
“Lucas Gray, how brazen of you to show up here!” Damon glared at Lucas gloomily and walked through the crowd that parted for him toward Lucas.
Lucas smiled faintly. “What? Mr. Parker, are you trying to threaten me? So much for bringing a gift for you.”
“Gift?” Damon narrowed his eyes with suspicion. He wasn’t that naive to think that Lucas would really bring him any gift. Given the current relationship between the two parties, he would have had someone break Lucas’s limbs this morning if Lucas didn’t have the protection of Edmund. He reckoned that Lucas was well aware of this too.
Lucas didn’t say much either. He raised his hand and tossed the killer behind him.
The heavy corpse fell to the ground, revealing the look of panic and horror that had already stiffened on his face. There was a hole in the middle of his eyebrows, from which blood was gushing out endlessly.
Clearly, the corpse belonged to a person who had just died.
Greatly startled, Damon and the rest of the Parkers subconsciously took two steps back. Many of them even exclaimed in astonishment.
But Damon had been through all sorts of situations and had broad horizons after all. Moreover, he was the head of the Parker family. So he quickly calmed down and questioned Lucas coldly, “Lucas Gray, do you mean by this? Are you trying to threaten us with a corpse?”
Ray was even more enraged, as he felt that Lucas was insulting them by tossing a corpse at them.
“Dad, now that he has brought himself here, let’s just kill him and take revenge for Tristan!” Ray glared at Lucas with bloodshot eyes.
Flynn sneered and said coldly, “Mr. Parker, if this stupid son of yours continues to speak with such an arrogant attitude, there’s no point for us to keep wasting our breaths and time here.”
“You!” Ray flew into a rage after hearing Flynn’s hostile words.
“Shut up!” Damon glared at his son, from whom he had expected better.
If Lucas was someone who could be killed directly, Damon would long have ordered the Parkers’ bodyguards to take him down. There wouldn’t be a need for them to continue wasting their time talking nonsense here.
He initially thought that Lucas was just an ordinary live-in son-in-law of the Carters. Even though he used to be one of the Huttons from DC, he had been kicked out more than twenty years ago and didn’t have any power or useful connections to back him up.
But Flynn and Ethan had both been defending Lucas today and behaving completely out of the ordinary, as if they had been bewitched. They were willing to put everything they had on the line and stubbornly refused to change their minds. This made Damon baffled, but at the same time, he also had more scruples.
Were Ethan and Flynn dimwits?
Obviously not.
In that case, their full-swing efforts to protect Lucas at the risk of losing everything were very questionable.
Besides, the fact that Edmund valued Lucas highly seemed to be very unusual too.
Even if Lucas had saved his life, it would be perfectly fine for Edmund to repay Lucas with some money and gifts. For a prestigious and notable family like the Coles, giving monetary gifts to repay favors was much simpler than returning the favor in the same manner.
But Edmund was overly defensive and protective over Lucas. Not only did he stand on Lucas’s side and forbade others from harming him, but he even threatened the helmsmen with the future of their families to force them to apologize to Lucas.
If Lucas didn’t have any outstanding qualities, he wouldn’t have deserved such great treatment from Edmund.
So Lucas certainly should also not be so naive as to show up at their door with a corpse with the sole purpose of deterring them.
After thinking about it for a long time, Damon finally made up his mind and said, “What do you have to say? Come inside and talk.”
“Dad, you can’t!” Ray immediately tried to stop it.
“Shut up!” Damon rebuked coldly and then chased his son, who was overwhelmed with anger, out. He then brought Lucas and Flynn to the hall of the villa.
“What exactly are you here for?” After Damon sat down on the couch, he didn’t intend to beat around the bush and simply cut straight to the chase.
Lucas sat down on the couch opposite Damon and only nodded at Flynn, who was beside him. “You tell him.”
“Yes!” Flynn answered and then said to Damon, “Mr. Parker, do you want to become the most powerful and wealthy family of LA?”
Damon had been sizing up the two of them, and from the moment he saw Lucas sitting down by himself and casually giving an order, which Flynn obeyed deferentially and stood at the side like a subordinate, Damon’s heart pounded rapidly.
The scene in front of him could only mean that Lucas had a superior status to Flynn, who was clearly subservient toward him.
W-what’s going on?
Before he could even think about it, he suddenly heard Flynn’s words, which made him nearly lose his composure.
“What do you mean by that? Do you have the ability to ruin the Parkers to such a state? No. If you really have this ability, I’m afraid you would be the one to benefit, Mr. Davis. Otherwise, why would you give us such a great benefit?” Damon said with a derisive gaze in his eyes. He could almost guess what Lucas and Flynn’s purpose of coming to the Parkers was.
He was just trying to give him false hope and then use the Parkers’ resources to rake in profits for himself!
Having lived for decades, he had seen countless such tricks before.
At the thought of this, Damon couldn’t help but be less scrupulous about Lucas. That’s it?
Flynn sneered. “This is a rare and precious opportunity for the Parkers given by Mr. Gray. If you’re willing to accept it, we will help you eliminate the Owens. If you don’t, there won’t be a need for your family to continue to exist in LA.”
“You…! No, wait!” Damon subconsciously wanted to lose his temper, but after hearing what Flynn said, he clearly felt that something was amiss. “What do you mean by that? What’s the matter with the Owens?”
Flynn smirked. “Seems like you’re not that stupid. See that corpse at the door? That is the real murderer of your grandson Tristan. The mastermind behind this is the Owens!”
