BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1124 - 1124 Settling Scores
Just as Paul’s slap was about to land on her face, Lucas suddenly took a step forward, grabbed Paul’s hand, and persuaded, “Professor Carson, you shouldn’t slap her. She’s right. If Professor Crawford wasn’t helping me, she wouldn’t have suffered this unwarranted mishap. I’m really sorry!”
Lucas felt very guilty.
The Hills obviously wanted to snatch the land from Lucas, so they had sent a group of thugs from Club Illuma to harm those involved in the development of Stardust City to deter them from continuing with the construction.
If Gemma hadn’t been helping him, she wouldn’t have been injured.
Besides, Gemma was already in her seventies, and now that she was seriously injured, it was unknown if she could be rescued.
In short, Lucas felt extremely guilty after seeing Gemma’s family.
Since Lucas had stopped him, Paul naturally wouldn’t continue lecturing Leila. He could only glare at her and rebuke, “You’re already in your twenties! Why are you still so insensible? Look at Mr. Gray. If he hadn’t helped you, I would have really taught you a hard lesson!”
“Hmph, I don’t need him to pretend to be nice here!” Leila had great animosity toward Lucas. She glowered at him and lashed out furiously, “I don’t want to see you here. The sight of you pisses me off! Hurry up and get lost!”
“You…” Paul immediately frowned and was about to lose his temper again.
Seeing this, Lucas hurriedly persuaded, “Professor Carson, please calm down. I have something to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now.”
Then he instructed Flynn, “Inform me immediately once Professor Crawford is out!”
After Flynn acknowledged, Lucas left.
He didn’t actually have something to do, and it wasn’t that he didn’t want to wait for Gemma to come out of the emergency room. But he knew that Lelia resented him so much that if he continued to stay here, it would only intensify the conflict between her and Paul. So it was better for him to leave sooner.
Sure enough, Leila stopped venting her anger after Lucas left and finally calmed down. She was still displeased with Flynn, but at least she wasn’t as upset as she was when facing Lucas.
Paul felt a headache.
Leila was great in every aspect, except she could be overly emotional at times. Once she became upset, there was no way to persuade her.
Flynn coughed and said, “Leila, in fact, Mr. Gray is really concerned about Professor Crawford’s situation. The attending doctor treating Professor Crawford in the emergency room is the internationally acclaimed Maddy Stone, whom Mr. Gray specially invited to treat your grandmother. With Miss Stone here, your grandmother will definitely be safe and sound!”
By saying this, he hoped to be able to show how much Lucas valued Gemma and what he had done for her, wanting to reduce Leila’s animosity toward Lucas as much as possible.
After all, one was his mentor’s granddaughter, and the other was his boss. Flynn really didn’t want to see any conflict between them.
“Hmph, who cares?!” Leila harrumphed and bit her lip, not wanting to talk with Flynn.
Paul sighed and said to Flynn helplessly, “Flynn, please don’t be offended. Leila has been spoiled rotten by us. I hope you don’t take it to heart.”
“How is that possible?!” Flynn shook his head.
The two of them spoke a bit more casually while standing outside the emergency room and looking at the sign above the door.
They hoped Gemma would pull through safely…
…
Meanwhile, Lucas left DC Hospital and headed straight for Club Illuma.
What happened to Gemma was because of the Hills, so they had to pay the price for it!
Soon, Lucas arrived at Club Illuma again.
Unlike the last time he came, he was exuding a murderous aura this time.
He had specially come here today to take revenge against Club Illuma and the Hills!
As soon as Lucas reached the entrance, two Clum Illuma staff members stopped him. “Sir, please show your membership card. You’re not allowed to enter without one.”
The last time he came, Alexander had said that Club Illuma was exclusive to holders of membership cards, which could cost up to a staggering sum of five million dollars a year. Anyone without a membership card was not allowed to enter.
Lucas sneered and shouted, “Get lost!”
He had come here today to take revenge. Why would he care about a membership card?
If the guards refused to let him in, he could only use the simplest and most brutal solution—fighting his way in!
After hearing what Lucas said, the two guards froze before realizing that this young man wasn’t here for entertainment but to find trouble!
It was an extremely new thing!
The proprietor of Club Illuma was the Hills, a royal family branch. Anyone who dared to cause trouble for them was simply courting death!
“Punk, how dare you cause trouble in Club Illuma? You must be tired of living!”
“You’d better find out who’s behind Club Illuma and check if you can afford to provoke them!”
The two guards at the door immediately mocked Lucas. At the same time, they pulled out the plastic batons on their waits and inched closer to Lucas.
Since they had been chosen as guards of Club Illuma, they naturally weren’t rookies with poor combat skills.
But before they could reach Lucas, Lucas sent them flying with a roundhouse kick!
Bang!
Thud!
The bodies of the guards crashed against the ground with a loud thud.
They lay motionlessly on the ground, unable to get up for a long time, looking at Lucas with horror in their eyes. Who is this man?
He had kicked them both so far away with just a light kick and almost crippled them!
Lucas glanced at the two of them coldly and then strode in without saying another word.
Their bodies were stiff, and they couldn’t even say a single word to stop him.
But there was surveillance everywhere in Club Illuma. Even though the two guards at the door failed to give a warning, a group of henchmen rushed out and surrounded Lucas.
The leader narrowed his eyes at Lucas menacingly. “Punk, how dare you cause trouble in Club Illuma? How impudent!”
