Chapter 439 - Making Up His Mind To Kill
Damon Parker, the helmsman of the Parker family, was sitting on the master seat in the living room with a grim expression.
The direct descendants of the Parker family were standing around him.
All of them looked rather sullen. Meanwhile, Tristan"s father, Ray Parker, had bloodshot eyes and was full of resentment.
He had raised his son to the age of twenty-something, and yet he died all of a sudden in such a tragic matter. No one in his place would be able to remain calm.
Damon was full of anger.
Tonight, the Parkers had experienced several incidents in a row.
First, Kenneth had suddenly offended Matthew Benson in the Lion Restaurant, causing Damon to have to rush over and painstakingly try to convince Matthew, which he eventually managed to by signing a cooperation agreement that stipulated that he had to give a large portion of the profit to the greedy Matthew. He had somewhat resolved the disaster with money and even got acquainted with the Bensons, which could count as a blessing in disguise.
But immediately afterward, they were put to shame by the young man Lucas Gray, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Not only did he make Kenneth kneel down in front of him, but he even broke the arm of Matthew"s son. Yet Lucas"s ident.i.ty was really mysterious, so much so that even Matthew didn"t dare to touch him easily. But the sly old fox Matthew actually left him to investigate Lucas, and he had no clue where to start now.
Next, his most incompetent grandson suddenly died in the city outskirts.
All of them thought that this was definitely not a mere accident but a deliberate murder with the intention of going against the Parkers.
But they couldn"t find any evidence even until now.
When the accident happened, there happened to be a circuit failure on the expressway, causing a major power outage that resulted in the malfunction of the surveillance cameras.
Furthermore, it was already late at night at the time, and traffic was scarce, so no one could have witnessed the accident.
Apart from the stone, on which there were no fingerprints, there were no other clues.
The Parkers were even more enraged and indignant because of this.
A scion of the Parker family had been killed, yet they couldn"t find the culprit. It was just like a blatant slap on their faces.
"Dad, Tristan can"t die without a clear reason! We must find the murderer and not let off anyone who dared to harm Tristan!" Ray"s eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his jaw.
Damon nodded and said in a low voice, "That"s right! A descendant of the Parkers will definitely not die in vain! No matter who the murderer is, we must make him pay for this with his life!"
Kenneth"s eyes were full of horror and fury as he looked at Tristan"s corpse.
Although he had never liked his incompetent and foolish cousin, Tristan was a descendant of the family after all. Now that Tristan had died such a tragic death, he couldn"t help feeling a deep sense of sorrow.
It was Tristan"s turn to die today. Who knew which day the murderer behind this would target him?
In short, those who dared to lay hands on the Parkers had to die!
At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties hurriedly walked into the villa.
"Sir, the people I sent have basically found out that Tristan"s death is very likely to have something to do with a young man named Lucas Gray!" he hurriedly reported.
"What did you say? Lucas Gray?!" Damon"s eyes suddenly widened, and he instantly stood up with a look of disbelief.
Meanwhile, after Kenneth heard Lucas"s name, his heart palpitated.
The middle-aged man didn"t dare to delay and quickly said, "According to the statements of Tristan"s friends, Lucas Gray appeared on Caldo Mountain, and he was called there by Lena Sawyer. He had an intense conflict with Tristan. There are more than twenty people who can testify!
"Although there"s no direct evidence that he"s related to the car accident that happened to Tristan, he"s very suspicious! That"s because Tristan has a great feud with Lucas Gray, and he even hired a hitman to kill him. But he failed in the end, so Lucas Gray very likely bears a strong grudge against Tristan. That"s why he killed him on his way back to the city!"
The Parkers had actually heard a little about the grudge between Tristan and Lucas. After all, Tristan had even gotten a knee injury because of it.
At the time, some of the Parkers wanted to take revenge on Lucas, but immediately after that, the Brookes of LA faced destruction, and Damon thought that Lucas might have something to do with it. So he forced that thought down and even once warned Tristan not to provoke Lucas again.
But no one expected that the feud between the two would intensify to the point that Tristan would hire a hitman to kill Lucas.
If the truth was really so, it wouldn"t be impossible for Lucas to take revenge and deliberately pull some tricks when Tristan was on his way back to the city!
Bang! Damon smashed a cup beside his hand onto the ground.
"Lucas Gray, you punk! How dare you kill my grandson? I won"t let you off!" Damon"s eyes were full of fury.
He had once harbored some scruples toward Lucas, especially when he saw him breaking Tyron"s arm arrogantly tonight, as well as the fact that Stanley had been following Lucas. He was even more reluctant to provoke Lucas until they had clearly investigated his background!
But now that his grandson had died in Lucas"s hands, how could he possibly take it lying down?
He wanted Lucas to die immediately!
With a crazy murderous look in his eyes, Damon immediately called Matthew on the phone. "Mr. Benson, just a short while ago, one of my incompetent grandsons died in an accident. You"re already aware of this, right?"
It was a major matter, and the car accident had happened only about an hour or so ago, yet it had already spread like wildfire to the various families of all cla.s.ses in LA. Since Matthew was now in LA, he had naturally also heard of it.
There weren"t any fluctuations in Matthew"s emotions since the one who died wasn"t his son. But since Damon had already called him, he should express his stand.
Just when Matthew was about to give him his condolences and ask about whether the killer had been found yet, Damon suddenly asked, "Mr. Benson, have you found out about the background of that arrogant young man in the Lion Restaurant tonight?"
Matthew asked with raised brows, "Since I"ve already handed this matter to you, I didn"t send anyone else to check up on it. Why? Do the Parkers have information about him?"
In fact, he naturally did send someone to investigate because one, he didn"t fully trust the Parkers, and two, Lucas had broken the arm of his precious son, so he wanted to find out more about him as soon as possible. How could he be willing to just sit at home and wait for the news?
But the people he had sent were rather slow with the investigation.
Without mincing words, Damon said resentfully, "Yes, I have detailed information about him now! Actually, Lucas Gray isn"t the scion of a prestigious family but the live-in son-in-law of a mid-tier family. He"s best at putting up a front and pretending to be mighty, so he deceived all of us with the airs he put on in the Lion Restaurant!"
