Chapter 1097
After stopping the white-bearded old man, Lucas didn’t immediately attack him but stood in front of him and persuaded him earnestly, “Sir, you’re a rare senior expert. If you really fight to the death with me, there’s a high chance you’ll die in my hands. It would be a great pity for an expert like you to die here.
“Moreover, it’s not worth it for someone as skilled as you to fight to the death to protect a good-for-nothing like Jace. So, if you’re willing to join my side now, I can assure you that I can give you everything that the Whitleys give you. In fact, I can give you double.”
Lucas’s expression was very serious.
Although he had only fought with the white-bearded old man once, the strength the old man displayed was incredible, and he was even stronger than Jordan. In particular, he was almost as fast as Lucas.
If such a powerhouse could submit to Lucas, it would be of great help to him.
!!
Lucas was not short of money now, but he was short of some experts who could be of great use to him.
Now, he had plans to move to DC with his entire family and develop some businesses here.
DC was a place where major forces met, and the enemies Lucas would have to face in the future would become more and more powerful and difficult to deal with.
If he could get a top powerhouse like the white-bearded old man to join him and protect his family, he would definitely feel more at ease.
So he was very sincere in trying to convince the white-bearded old man to join his camp.
Unfortunately, although Lucas was very sincere, the white-bearded old man turned him down without negotiation.
The old man shook his head and said, “The Whiteleys saved my life before, so I can’t be ungrateful to them. In order to repay them, I don’t mind dying here!”
Hearing this, Lucas could only sigh in pity. But he didn’t continue to persuade him.
People like the white-bearded old man would rather die than go against their morals, so it was absolutely impossible to win him over.
“Then, there’s no other choice. It seems that we can only be enemies.” Lucas’s face gradually became cold.
For those destined to become his enemy, he would never show any mercy!
“Alright!”
The white-bearded old man gritted his teeth and suddenly charged toward Lucas with a roar.
Since things had come to this and their previous conflict was no longer resolvable, he could only go all out and get an advantage, which might help him stand a chance at winning.
Lucas sneered. Facing the old man’s attack, he punched the center of the old man’s chest without showing mercy!
Bang!
The old man’s body was sent flying backward, as if he had suddenly been struck by a cannonball!
After flying more than ten meters away, the white-bearded old man’s body finally crashed on the ground, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, the white-bearded old man’s eyes were wide open in shock and horror as he stared at Lucas in disbelief.
He originally thought that his and Lucas’s strength should be around the same level.
When he was in Orange County, they had almost never fought head-on, but the white-bearded old man knew that Lucas’s speed seemed to be inferior to his. Later, Lucas had even chosen not to fight with the old man for the safety of his family, which had made the old man rather smug.
At Club Illuma tonight, the white-bearded old man had witnessed Lucas kill several powerhouses in a row and how skilled he was with his own eyes. The old man had already regarded Lucas as a top-level powerhouse on par with him.
But he finally understood now that everything he had seen was just the tip of the iceberg of Lucas’s strength.
He hadn’t witnessed Lucas’s true strength at all!
Reason being, even until now, no one had been able to force Lucas to exert his full strength!
The punch just now made the white-bearded old man truly realize that he was worlds apart from Lucas!
Meanwhile...
When Jace saw the white-bearded old man rushing out to block Lucas and Jordan dashing toward his car, he was frightened out of his wits and frantically yelled at the driver, “Quick, hurry up and drive!”
Whoosh!
But before the driver could start driving, the glass window beside his ear was suddenly shattered by a large fist!
Afterward, a large hand grabbed the driver’s neck and dragged him out of the car.
“Please... please spare me! I’m just a driver! I don’t know anything! Please spare me!” the driver pleaded profusely, paralyzed with fear and as pale as a sheet.
Jordan wasn’t going to kill a driver who was just taking orders. He threw him onto the ground casually and hollered, “Get lost!”
The driver immediately fled as if he had been spared from death.
At this point, the driver obviously didn’t care who the person in the car was. The most important thing was to save his own life!
Seeing that the driver had been pulled out and driven away, Jace, in the backseat, curled up into a ball and wished he could shrink into the seat.
He was now incredibly terrified, especially when he saw Jordan’s demonic face approaching from the rear window. His entire body was trembling.
What should I do?
What should I do now?
Now that the white-bearded old man was stuck in a fight with Lucas, he couldn’t come to save him, and the driver had also been chased away. He was all alone with no one to rescue him!
At this moment, Jace’s heart was full of regret. If he hadn’t gone against Lucas, if he had heeded Michael’s advice not to fight with Lucas, he probably wouldn’t have ended up in this situation!
But it was all too late now!
Jordan opened the rear door, only to be overwhelmed with a stench that made him frown and grimace.
Jace was actually so scared that he lost control of his bowels. How could he have dared to fight against Lucas?
It was simply a humiliation to Lucas for someone like this to be his half-brother.
Jordan looked at Jace with contempt and said coldly, “Are you going to get out of the car obediently, or should I drag you out?”
Jace wanted to say he didn’t want to choose either.
But after seeing Jordan’s cold gaze that seemed ready to kill him at any moment, Jace shivered and said, “I... I’ll get out myself!”
There was no other choice. If Jordan dragged him out of the car, Jace would definitely suffer immense pain.
But while Jace was dawdling to get out of the car and Jordan looked impatient, a figure suddenly rolled out from under the Mercedes-Benz, and a shiny dagger slashed straight at Jordan’s calf!
