Chapter 862: Saving Maddy
After hearing what Tyson said, Lucas immediately narrowed his eyes. “Mr. Smith, I hope you get things straight. I’m not bargaining with you! If you’re too greedy and take things too far, you’ll see what the consequences are!”
Tyson retorted, “I only have one request. I want Maddy Stone to cure my son, Oscar! As long as my son recovers, the feud between us will be over!”
A look of determination appeared on his face. He refused to give in at all.
Jordan instantly flew into a rage. “It’s up to Maddy to decide whether or not to treat your son. She shouldn’t be threatened into it!
“If you dare to use her to coerce us again, I will never let you off!
“Big deal. We’ll kill you and the dogs of the Smiths right now and then go find Maddy on our own!
“Hmph, don’t think I’m scaring you. I’m not afraid of telling you the truth. I’ve killed far more people than the Smiths have combined!”
Maddy was the person Jordan liked and the person he cared about the most. She was his Achilles’ heel.
Tyson wanted to use Maddy as an exchange and force her to treat his son, which greatly angered Jordan.
Besides, Jordan had never been the type to listen to others obediently. The only person he obeyed was Lucas, the brother he recognized. As for others, Jordan wouldn’t frown even if he killed all the Smiths!
“Lucas Gray, is this how you discipline your subordinates?” Tyson was obviously shocked because of Jordan’s appearance and he didn’t dare to question him, for fear of incurring his wrath. So he looked at Lucas, wanting him to discipline Jordan.
But Lucas said indifferently, “You’re wrong about that. Jordan isn’t my subordinate but my best buddy! Moreover, what he said is exactly what I wanted to say!
“If you insist on refusing to release her, and you don’t care about the lives of the other Smiths, we’ll have no choice but to find her ourselves!
“I don’t have much patience. I’ll give you two minutes to consider your choice carefully!”
Lucas shook the watch on his hand calmly.
Jordan brought over a beach chair from the swimming pool at the side, placed it behind Lucas, and invited him to sit down.
The Smiths were unqualified to have Lucas stand and wait for them.
Lucas sat down and leaned against the beach chair with one leg crossed over the other, looking extremely relaxed.
The situation immediately became rather strange.
The Smiths were beside them, and the twenty or so gunmen were each still holding a black pistol and pointing them at Lucas.
But Lucas, who had so many guns pointing at him at the same time, didn’t seem to see this at all but instead sat on the beach chair with his legs crossed comfortably, as if he was a tourist paying the Smiths a visit.
This scene was really way too bizarre!
There was anger and dissatisfaction written all over Tyson’s face.
This was clearly the Smiths’ turf, and there were also so many of the Smiths’ gunmen around. There were more than 20 pistols aimed firmly at Lucas’s head.
But Lucas didn’t look like he was at a disadvantage at all. Instead, Tyson was the one being threatened.
Yet Tyson didn’t dare to order his men to shoot!
The young man sitting on the beach chair in front of him was exuding an aura of composure and the vague aura of a king, which was rather daunting.
Tyson, the head of one of the eight top families of DC, was thoroughly defeated by Lucas!
Time quickly pa.s.sed minute by minute, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on Tyson’s forehead.
But he never ordered the gunmen to take action.
“Okay, the two minutes are up. Mr. Smith, have you made your decision?”
The time was up. Lucas slowly stood up from the beach chair while exuding a chilling aura!
Tyson suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was like a ferocious tiger preparing to hunt!
A palpitating sense of fear immediately spread throughout Tyson’s body!
Tyson could no longer endure the fear and finally shouted through gritted teeth, “Bring her out!”
Lucas’s aura receded like the tide.
He looked at Tyson with a smile. “You’ve made a wise choice, Mr. Smith.”
Sensing that the terrifying pressure had vanished, Tyson reached out and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. His calves were trembling a little, and he still had some lingering fears within him.
He knew that Lucas would definitely dare to kill him if he didn’t choose to release Maddy!
“You… I just don’t want to cause trouble for the Smiths, and I don’t want to let Thomas obtain an advantage! Don’t… don’t think it’s because I’m afraid of you!” Tyson said.
Lucas smiled faintly and didn’t bother with him.
Since the prideful old man was finding an excuse for himself, there was no need for him to expose him.
Soon, two servants of the Smiths walked out of a villa with a lady who had a svelte figure.
“Maddy!” Jordan’s eyes immediately lit up as he hurried over.
He pulled Maddy into his arms and didn’t let go for a long time.
A hint of surprise appeared in Maddy’s eyes. Jordan was holding her in his arms, but a flash of sorrow appeared in the depths of her eyes.
A long time later, Jordan still had no intention of letting go of her. Maddy slapped Jordan’s back with her fist and protested, “Okay, enough, why aren’t you letting go? There are so many people watching!”
Only then did Jordan come back to his senses. He said with embarra.s.sment, “I’m sorry, Maddy. I was so excited to see you that I forgot for a moment!
“But don’t worry. Lucas has already helped me propose to your father. I believe that the Stones will agree to let us be together soon!”
Maddy was stunned. She didn’t expect that Jordan and Lucas had actually gone to look for her father!
But given her father’s character and the current situation of the Stones, he probably wouldn’t agree to the proposal.
Besides, she was marrying a Dempsey.
If not for the fact that the Smiths had brought her here all of a sudden, it would actually be the day she got married to him.
There was an obvious gloominess in Maddy’s eyes, but she nevertheless forced herself to smile. “What nonsense are you spouting? When… when did I ever say anything about marrying you?”
Jordan suddenly froze on the spot.
But Lucas could tell that Maddy did care about Jordan, but she thought that her marriage with the Dempseys was already settled. Furthermore, she had just been released and didn’t know what had happened at the wedding.
“Maddy, you don’t have to worry about the Dempseys. And I believe that the Dempseys won’t oppose you two being together this time,” Lucas said to Maddy with a smile.
He turned around and said to Jordan, “Jordan, take Maddy back to the Stones’ later and tell her about everything that happened today!”
Jordan quickly nodded. “Okay!”
But immediately afterward, he noticed that Lucas asked him to send Maddy back home. What about Lucas then?
“What about you, Lucas? Aren’t you going to come with us?” Jordan asked.
Lucas shook his head and looked at Tyson next to him.
“I still have some things to talk about with Mr. Smith. You guys go ahead!”
