Chapter 1005: Trade
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Since he had an extremely important thing to ask Jace, he had to take Jace away and make him talk.
For as long as Lucas could remember, he had never heard his mother mention anything about her family, and Lucas didn’t know much about her. Now, Jace actually said that he knew something about his mother. So regardless of what the secret was and whether or not Jace just made it up to save his life, Lucas had to get to the bottom of things.
If this white-bearded old man continued to stop him, he didn’t mind fighting him to the death!
The old man’s chest heaved up and down vigorously. Clearly, he was enraged by what Lucas said.
But he had been entrusted by someone to protect Jace, so he couldn’t let Jace fall into Lucas’s hands and die.
!!
“Lucas, are you sure you want to become my enemy?
“I admit that you are indeed a very strong opponent. In fact, you’re the strongest of the younger generation I’ve met. Even I may not be a match for you.
“But don’t forget that I’m now aware of your ident.i.ty and the family you care about, but you don’t even know my ident.i.ty. If I really want to become your enemy, you’d better consider how many of your loved ones will survive!” The white-bearded old man threatened with a gloomy expression.
A strong killing intent surged in Lucas’s heart. His loved ones were his weakness that no one was allowed to touch. Yet this old man actually threatened him with their lives!
“Are you threatening me?” An undisguised killing intent and rage appeared in Lucas’s eyes.
At this moment, Lucas looked extremely terrifying, so much so that even the white-bearded old man was a little frightened.
The old man also knew that it was an extremely unwise thing to become enemies with someone as dangerous as Lucas. But he also had his responsibilities and had to bring Jace back. So despite being frightened, he nevertheless gritted his teeth and said, “If you take this as a threat, then so be it!
“I repeat. I just want to take Jace away today. I don’t care about the rest!”
Lucas didn’t say anything else and clenched his fists tightly.
The white-bearded old man was undoubtedly extremely strong. If they got into a fight, the odds of Lucas winning would probably be 50-50. Perhaps he might be able to defeat the old man by a small margin.
But the old man’s speed was extremely terrifying. If he didn’t fight with Lucas but instead turned around to leave, even Lucas would have a hard time catching up.
Once the white-bearded old man fled, just as he had said, he would easily be able to harm Lucas’s loved ones to take revenge because he knew Lucas’s ident.i.ty and the whereabouts of his closest friends and family members. That would be an unbearable disaster for Lucas!
That was unless Lucas could gather all the people he valued and protect them around the clock to ensure their safety.
But that was simply impossible!
Any slight negligence or carelessness on Lucas’s part could allow the old man to appear out of nowhere and hurt the people around him.
It would simply be impossible to guard against him all the time.
Lucas had no idea who this white-bearded old man was and who he was taking instructions from.
“I’ve already said everything I should. I must take Jace away today. You can try keeping him if you want, but you have to think carefully and decide if you can bear the consequences of doing so!” the white-bearded old man said coldly.
Facing this old man’s threat, Lucas actually felt stuck in a dilemma for the first time.
He really wanted to keep Jace behind and find out about his mother. But likewise, Lucas couldn’t risk the lives of his loved ones.
In the end, Lucas had no choice but to compromise and take a step back.
“You can take him away, but if you dare to harm the people around me, I’ll chase you to the ends of the earth!” Lucas said coldly with a chilling and menacing gaze.
Seeing that Lucas had compromised, the old man didn’t dare to compel him any further and promised, “I just need to take him away. I won’t initiate anything else.”
He stepped forward to grab the unconscious Jace by his collar, picked him up, and threw him onto his shoulder.
Then he took a deep look at Lucas before turning around silently and soon vanis.h.i.+ng into the wilderness with Jace.
Lucas stared at the disappearing figures until they were finally out of sight and muttered under his breath, “I’ll let you live for a few more days for now. But I’ll make sure you tell me the secret about my mother yourself!”
Jace was now seriously injured and unconscious. Even though the white-bearded old man had taken him away, Jace could only lie in the hospital to recuperate during this period of time. It would be impossible for him to retaliate against Lucas and his loved ones.
The old man had promised before he left that he wouldn’t take the initiative to attack Lucas as long as he took Jace away.
In that case, Lucas would allow them to live for the time being. Once he resolved the issues here, he would definitely demand a clear explanation from Jace!
Soon, Lucas followed the path back and entered the abandoned hospital again.
Stanley was still watching Karen in the room and monitoring William’s condition. Seeing Lucas return unscathed, he heaved a huge sigh of relief and asked, “Lucas, where are those two people?”
“He took Jace away,” Lucas said indifferently.
But these words set off a storm in Stanley’s heart.
As the former leader of the Falcon Regiment’s a.s.sault team, he was well aware of how terrifying the power of the captain of the Falcon Regiment was, even though he hadn’t served during the same period as Lucas.
Lucas had chased after Jace to kill him, but the white-beared old man had managed to leave with Jace alive. In that case…
Is that old man much stronger than Lucas?!
Seeing Lucas’s dark face, Stanley was naturally conscientious enough not to go on any further.
At this moment, Lucas finally looked at Karen, who was on the ground.
When Karen saw Lucas appear, she immediately trembled greatly with immense fear.
She couldn’t be bothered about anything else as she hurriedly crawled to Lucas’s feet and begged while on her knees, “Lucas, I… I know I did something wrong. I’m not worthy of being human! But I know my mistakes now, and I’ll definitely repent. Please give me another chance. Don’t kill me!”
Karen was so frightened that she was about to wet her pants.
She had now witnessed with her own eyes just how formidable and daunting Lucas was. Even the high and mighty scion of the Huttons, who were one of the eight top families of DC, had knelt in front of Lucas and begged him for forgiveness. Yet Lucas forced him to fall off the building. She… she was just a weak and spineless woman. Now that even her only backer was gone, she didn’t dare to create any more trouble in front of Lucas.
Her only hope now was for Lucas to spare her life. She was willing to do anything in exchange for living!
