Chapter 836: How Do You Want To Die?
The wedding banquet today was actually targeted at Lucas.
But Lucas and Jordan didn’t take these small fries seriously.
Not long after, several guests came to Lucas’s table, but they didn’t know each other and found it unnecessary to greet each other.
At this moment, a young man in his twenties clad in a silvery gray suit walked over. His waxed black hair was combed neatly on his head, the middle of his nose was slightly bulging, and his lips were thin, making him look mean-spirited.
He had a gla.s.s of champagne in his hand and behaved extremely gentlemanly.
The guest sitting next to Lucas immediately looked surprised when he saw the young man approaching. He hurriedly stood up and greeted him respectfully, “Mr. Jessey! H-h.e.l.lo!”
This young man was Jessey, the eldest grandson of the Dempseys’ helmsman, Phil Dempsey. Because he was the first grandson, Phil doted on him greatly and had even handed over many of the family’s businesses to him.
The guest beside Lucas was just a distant relative of the Dempseys. At this moment, he was so excited to see Jessey in person that he was at a loss for what to do.
“Move aside.” Jessey pointed at the chair he was sitting on with his toes.
The man froze for a moment before hurriedly reacting and saying, “Yes! Please take a seat, Mr. Jessey!”
He sensibly gave up his seat.
After sitting down, Jessey placed the champagne gla.s.s in his hand on the table and looked at Lucas with a smile. “This gentleman over here, you look familiar. Which family are you from?”
Lucas smirked a little and ignored him.
From the moment this man walked over, Lucas had already noticed him because he had been keeping his eyes fixed on Lucas. He had obviously noticed Lucas a long time ago.
But he still pretended not to know Lucas and exchanged pleasantries with Lucas, who found it ridiculous and amusing.
Lucas picked up an empty gla.s.s on the table, and Jordan picked up a bottle of wine and filled Lucas’s gla.s.s.
Lucas picked up the gla.s.s, swirled it twice, and took a sip without any intention of paying attention to Jessey.
The smile on Jessey’s face stiffened.
As the eldest grandson of the Dempseys, he had always been showered with compliments and flattered. But now that he took the initiative to speak to Lucas, he actually got ignored.
In particular, he felt even more embarra.s.sed due to the guests sitting at several tables nearby looking at him.
Lucas was deliberately trying to embarra.s.s him!
Anger surged in Jessey’s heart, but he nevertheless tried to restrain himself as he said coldly, “Aren’t you too arrogant? It’s my younger brother’s wedding today, and as the host, I came over to speak to you personally, yet you ignored me. Aren’t you going overboard?”
He knew that this man in front of him was the person the family wanted to deal with.
The wedding between the Dempseys and the Stones was indeed very rushed.
They had just confirmed the marriage yesterday afternoon, but they were already holding the wedding today. There were many conjectures among the guests.
But as a core member of the Dempseys, Jessey naturally knew the reason.
Although the Dempseys were powerful, they were supported by the Smiths, one of the eight giants of DC, and they had to obey the Smiths in many aspects.
Moreover, the Smiths explained that Maddy’s wedding was all for the sake of dealing with a young man from California.
On his family’s orders, Jessey had come over to speak to Lucas to find out more about him.
But this man in front of him was even more arrogant than him, the eldest grandson of the Dempsey family. He didn’t even look him in the eye once!
It was outrageous!
Lucas continued to ignore him, but Jordan suddenly said, “My buddy doesn’t like hearing strangers rambling on about nonsense. If you have something to say, do so quickly and then get lost!”
Jordan didn’t keep his volume down, so all the guests around them heard him clearly. They immediately exclaimed in surprise.
It was the wedding day of a Dempseys’ heir, yet Jessey, a part of the host family, was yelled at by a young man and told to stop spouting nonsense and get lost!
Who are those young men? Everyone looked at Lucas and Jordan.
The Dempseys were not a small family but a top-tier one, second only to the eight top families of DC. Moreover, they had the support of the Smiths, so people generally didn’t dare to offend them.
Offending the Dempseys meant offending the Smiths to a certain extent. Generally, no one would court death like this.
After a moment of surprise, the ballroom was immediately bustling with activity.
“My G.o.d, who is that young man? How dare he rebuke the eldest grandson of Dempseys? How daring!”
“Those two young men seem to be fresh faces. Don’t they know how powerful the Dempseys are? But then again, if they don’t know the Dempseys, why did they come to the wedding? Could they be related to the Stones?”
“Even if they’re relatives of the Stones, it doesn’t make sense. All of us here know that the Stones and the Dempseys are about to join in marriage. Even the most ignorant relatives wouldn’t choose to offend the Dempseys at this time.”
“The two of them seem to be looking for trouble. I’m afraid they’ve come with hostile intentions!”
“There’s going to be something interesting to watch… Hehe!”
…
Everyone in the ballroom was discussing incessantly.
But most people thought that Lucas and Jordan’s behavior was simply courting death.
It was a joyous day for the Dempseys, so they definitely won’t allow these two young men to embarra.s.s their family and ruin the wedding today.
Jessey’s face was incredibly sullen.
He spoke to Lucas, but Lucas simply ignored him, and Jordan, Lucas’s follower, even spoke to him rudely!
“This dog by your side seems to be a bit unruly. I was talking to you, but he suddenly interjected. If you don’t know how to train your dog, I don’t mind helping you teach him some rules!”
With a gloomy face, Jessy raised his hand and made a gesture. Two burly bodyguards immediately came over from not far away and walked directly toward Jordan. They were clearly planning to drag Jordan out of the wedding venue.
Only then did Lucas finally put down the gla.s.s in his hand and glance at Jessey.
But his eyes contained a blade-like murderous intent that almost scared Jessey soulless!
Jessey shuddered violently. His heart was pounding rapidly, and his hands were covered in cold sweat.
A mere glance made Jessey feel horror from the depths of his soul!
“Since you’ve insulted my buddy, how do you want to die?” Lucas said coldly and indifferently.
