1166 Lack of Experience
Ever since Kenneth saw so many people charge into the restaurant, his mouth had been wide open in shock, and it was only now that he finally came back to his senses.
Kenneth’s heart was surging with zeal at this moment.
The impact brought by the sudden appearance of 2,000 people was enormous, and they were all helpers that Lucas found to stand on their side!
At the same time, the intense shock within Kenneth’s heart was simply indescribable. To be able to gather so many people here within such a short time definitely wasn’t a feat that ordinary people could accomplis.h.!.+
Kenneth initially thought that what Lucas said about getting the Parkers to replace the Waltons was just to provoke Clinton and his sons. He was now sure that Lucas really had the ability to let the Parkers replace the Waltons, who had been standing strong in DC for years!
!!
Thinking of this, Kenneth became even more zealous.
With a gloomy expression, Clinton pondered for a while before gritting his teeth and saying, “What do you want then? How much do you want in compensation? Just name your price!”
Lucas raised his brows, wondering if Clinton was planning to use money to settle the matter today.
“Mr. Walton, didn’t you say that might makes right in this world and that you had to teach us a lesson? Are you admitting defeat now?” Lucas asked with a smile.
Clinton blushed and said through gritted teeth, “That’s right. I’m inferior to you now, so I admit defeat!”
He had really underestimated Lucas!
In fact, although the Waltons couldn’t gather 2,000 people within just 15 minutes as Lucas did, they might still be able to gather a few hundred people if he hadn’t belittled Lucas and behaved so self-righteously. If he hadn’t a.s.sumed that Lucas was bragging, he would have at least stood a chance to fight it out with Lucas.
But it was all too late now!
The 2,000 people that Lucas called over had already surrounded the restaurant, and he had brought only a hundred or so people, which was basically useless against so many.
Even if he called people over now, they wouldn’t be able to make it in time. Lucas obviously wouldn’t give him the time to make a call and wait for his people to gather.
It was all because he had belittled Lucas!
Clinton was now full of regret. They were in a disadvantageous position now, so they could only clench their teeth and admit defeat. They would find another opportunity to exact revenge another day!
A man should be able to give and take when necessary.
Lucas knew clearly what Clinton was thinking.
A figure who could admit defeat when necessary was indeed not ordinary.
But since Clinton wouldn’t give up just like that, Lucas didn’t have to be merciful toward him at all.
After hesitating for a moment, Kenneth finally stepped forward and mocked, “Clinton Walton, weren’t you very stubborn just now? Didn’t you just want to use your family’s power to deal with Mr. Gray and me? Why are you admitting defeat now?
“But you don’t look very convinced. You said it’s a misunderstanding and that you’ll apologize to Mr. Gray another day, but I’m afraid you’re thinking about how you’ll bring more and stronger people to deal with Mr. Gray.
“Don’t bother with that delay tactic!”
Having his thoughts exposed, Clinton narrowed his eyes threateningly and rebuked furiously, “Who do you think you are? You’re just the owner of a small restaurant. Do you think you’re qualified to talk to me?”
Because his son Nick was acquainted with Kenneth, Clinton knew some things about Kenneth. Kenneth’s family was just a somewhat wealthy one that came from LA to develop in DC, so Clinton felt that he wasn’t qualified to talk to him like that.
Kenneth sneered. “Then, who do you think you are? You were just lucky enough to be born into a wealthy family. Without the Waltons, what are you?”
He wasn’t polite with his words at all.
In fact, Kenneth would usually never dare to speak to Clinton like this. In fact, he wouldn’t dare to speak to Nick and Jacky so rudely either.
But things were different today. Lucas was standing right beside him, giving him great confidence.
Clinton kept his cold eyes fixed on Kenneth for a long time before finally saying, “Okay, I remember you, punk. Just you wait. I will make sure you regret saying those things!”
Kenneth shuddered uncontrollably.
Actually, Kenneth didn’t have much confidence because his family was much weaker than the eight top families of DC. Now that he was facing the Waltons’ threat, even though he knew that Lucas was beside him and that he had his support, he couldn’t eliminate his long-standing fear within a short time.
Moreover, if the Parkers couldn’t replace the Waltons, they would definitely face insane revenge!
At the thought of this, Kenneth felt even more terrified.
Lucas watched on coldly without saying a word.
Kenneth wasn’t lacking in ability or character, but he still lacked experience.
He had just come to DC, where many of the richest and most powerful were, so there was still plenty for him to work on.
And now, it was obviously a good chance for him to train.
Since Lucas had decided to support the Parkers, it was definitely necessary for Kenneth, the Parkers’ next helmsman, to gain more experience now.
Nick propped himself up on his stretcher, glowered at Kenneth, and cursed furiously, “Kenneth Parker, who the h.e.l.l do you think you are? How dare you speak to my father like that? Don’t you forget that you’re just a n.o.body from a small family. Don’t think you can disrespect us just because you’ve found a backer!
“Even if your father or your grandfather were here, neither of them would dare to speak to my father like that!”
He knew Kenneth and had crossed paths with him multiple times. In the past, Kenneth would be respectful and polite to him whenever he saw him. But he never expected Kenneth to change so quickly and disregard him after seeing Lucas today.
Moreover, the person who had ordered his limbs to be broken was Kenneth, and he had even slapped his face. When Nick thought of this, his hatred toward Kenneth became even more intense.
Once today’s crisis was over, he definitely wouldn’t let Kenneth and Lucas off!
