Chapter 484 - Finding Out The Truth
After seeing Lucas also arrive at the Owen residence, Damon immediately went forward to greet him respectfully.
The Owens were stunned by Damon"s respectful att.i.tude toward him.
Joseph looked at Lucas walking over, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind immediately. Seems like this young man is most likely the mysterious person Damon mentioned.
Standing among the Owens, Callum and Elijah were extremely stunned to see Lucas.
In particular, Callum had long guessed that Lucas"s ident.i.ty might be extraordinary, so he had taken the initiative to express his intentions to befriend Lucas but had been unceremoniously rejected by the latter. He also knew that it was only a matter of time before Lucas would find out that Tristan and Elijah had hired someone to a.s.sa.s.sinate him.
Thus, he had simply decided to go all out and kill Tristan and then frame Lucas for it to make the Owens go toe-to-toe against him. This would have made both parties lose a lot of their power, and the Owens would have then been able to take advantage and rise to greater power. Lucas would have also no longer had time to settle scores with the Owens.
Although Callum had made excellent plans, things didn"t go according to plan, and he even ended up exposing himself while offending powerful people like the Parkers and Lucas. It could be said that his plan was a complete failure.
Now that Lucas showed up here, they were certain that he must be here to hold them accountable!
Callum clenched his fists, his palms covered in cold sweat.
Watching Lucas walk toward him, Joseph suddenly said, "Are you the person behind Damon? Are you the one who wants to annihilate my family and take away my grandsons?"
Lucas glanced at him coldly. "They hired someone to kill Tristan Parker and even framed me for it. They only have themselves to blame!"
Joseph gritted his teeth and insisted, "You said my grandsons hired a murderer, but do you have any evidence to prove that? Aren"t you going overboard by making false accusations against my grandsons and forcing us to hand them over?"
Lucas sneered. "Evidence? It seems that it"s not over "til it"s over for you, huh? Fine, I"ll be merciful and satisfy you. In order to prevent you from saying that I"m falsifying evidence, I"ll make your grandsons admit the truth themselves!"
Then he walked toward Callum and Elijah.
"What are you… you trying to do? Quickly stop him!" Callum"s face was all tensed up as he shouted sternly at the Owens" bodyguards standing in front of him.
The few tall and burly bodyguards immediately stood in front of Lucas, stopping him from continuing to walk forward.
"Get lost!" Lucas roared furiously, raised his leg, and kicked the bodyguard in front of him, causing him to fly away immediately!
The man, who weighed about 90 kilograms, was flung more than ten meters away in midair before cras.h.i.+ng on the ground like a heavy sandbag. He had fallen so hard that he couldn"t get back up at all!
This scene immediately made the remaining bodyguards" bodies tremble as they subconsciously took two steps back, not daring to continue blocking Lucas.
They weren"t fools. They had seen how Lucas had rendered the bodyguard immobile with a hard kick that had sent him flying. Clearly, they wouldn"t be able to stop Lucas.
The Owen brothers were obviously terrified.
A sudden chill surged in Callum"s heart while his hands and feet began to tremble. But he was still barely standing and maintaining a trace of decency.
Elijah had a guilty conscience to begin with. When he saw Lucas kick the bodyguard away with a single kick and walk toward him aggressively, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground and began s.h.i.+vering in fear.
Lucas walked straight up to Callum, looked at his calm face, and said indifferently, "Callum Owens, you sent someone to kill Tristan Parker and framed me for it. You"ve even been secretly spreading rumors and urging Damon Parker to deal with me, haven"t you?"
Callum naturally refused to admit it, so he stubbornly denied, "I didn"t do those things at all. These are all just one-sided allegations from you! You and Tristan have long had several altercations because of Lena Sawyer!
"And last night at Caldo Mountain, Tristan deliberately challenged you to race against a professional car racer he had brought to the mountain, and he had even hired a killer to ambush you at the top. But you escaped and came down safely, but you must have borne a grudge against him. That"s why you wanted to take revenge and pay him back in his own coin! Isn"t that so?
"Elijah and I have always been on good terms with Tristan, so how could we possibly kill him? You"re just spouting nonsense!"
After Callum said this, Lucas"s expression still remained unchanged. But Damon, standing near them, instantly had a change of expression.
He knew that his incompetent grandson had indeed had a few minor conflicts with Lucas over Lena, but he didn"t know that Tristan had hired someone to kill Lucas before his death last night!
If Tristan was still alive now, Damon would have definitely brought him here and given him two tight slaps on the face!
With Lucas"s ability to destroy the Parkers with a lift of his finger, the stupid thing Tristan had done yesterday would alone be enough to provoke Lucas into annihilating them!
Although Damon first thought that Callum"s allegation that Lucas had killed Tristan for revenge seemed to make sense, he quickly dismissed the thought.
The reason was simple. It was because the incredible power that Lucas had shown had greatly deterred him. If Lucas had really killed Tristan because he had offended him, Lucas wouldn"t have had to deny it in front of him at all because the Parkers wouldn"t have any power to fight back against him anyway!
Lucas raised his eyebrows and continued to ask, "Oh? But no one else should have known that Tristan Parker hired a killer to a.s.sa.s.sinate me at the top of the mountain yesterday, right? How do you know about it? Did Tristan Parker specifically make it a point to inform you about it before he did so? Or did you guys hire that killer to a.s.sa.s.sinate me together?"
After hearing Lucas"s words, Elijah began to s.h.i.+ver while looking at Callum pleadingly in a moment of panic.
Lucas had guessed the truth! What should they do now?
Callum"s heart sank as well. He had been too preoccupied with drawing attention to Lucas"s motive of murder that he had forgotten that he shouldn"t have been aware that Tristan had hired someone to a.s.sa.s.sinate Lucas.
Callum quickly thought of an excuse and retorted, "Ahem, of course this matter has nothing to do with us! I merely heard Tristan mention it after you left. That"s how I found out."
Anyway, Tristan was already dead, and there was no evidence to refute his claims. Naturally, they had to take his word for it.
Lucas looked at him and suddenly raised his hand to give Callum a hard slap on the face.
Smack!
This slap was so forceful that it immediately knocked Callum"s head to the side and caused his front teeth to dart out of his mouth with blood. Callum also fell hard onto the ground.
Seeing Lucas suddenly hit his grandson, Joseph shouted angrily, "Callum!"
"Hmph, you"re still so stubborn even on the brink of death. I hope your younger brother can be as stubborn as you are."
Lucas sneered and walked up to Elijah, who had long gone limp and was now lying on the ground. Staring at him from above, he said in an emotionless tone of voice, "It"s your turn to speak now."
