Novel Full Chapter 1358 - 1358 Harsh Lesson
1358 Harsh Lesson
“What did you say?” Jensen was startled, and there was even a hint of fear in his voice.
He wasn’t a fool. He immediately understood that Lucas wanted to use his name to gather all those helmsmen together and capture them all in one fell swoop!
This plan was too bold!
After hearing Lucas’s plan, the people in the conference room looked even more excited and expectant.
!!
The eight top families of DC had maintained a certain balance for many years. Although there had been some open and covert battles between them, generally speaking, there hadn’t been any intense conflicts.
The great upheaval today was really the first time in so many years in DC.
Now that Lucas was asking Jensen to invite all the helmsmen to the Capital International Hotel, it was obvious that he wanted to deal with them all once and for all.
If what Lucas wanted to do was really realized, wouldn’t he have an opportunity to unify all the wealthy and powerful families in DC?
Once he united the eight top families of DC, the strength he possessed would be extremely terrifying!
When the time came, even the royal family branches wouldn’t dare to provoke Lucas easily!
Jensen naturally thought of this as well, which was why his expression was extremely sullen. He and Lucas were already enemies, so he naturally hoped that Lucas’s authority and power would be as weak as possible. It would be best if he suffered heavy losses and was crushed to death by the other families among the eight top families of DC. He didn’t want to see Lucas’s strength grow to the point of being comparable to the Hamiltons’.
Jensen gritted his teeth firmly, not wanting to do what Lucas wanted at all.
Lucas kicked him mercilessly. “Do you have a problem with it? You don’t want to do it?”
The muscles on Jensen’s face trembled again. He gritted his teeth and said, “I won’t agree! I know that you want to use my name to lure them to the Capital International Hotel. How can I agree to that?
“Those helmsmen are all people who have connections and collaborated with me. How could I cooperate with you to deal with them? If I really did such a thing, my reputation would be completely ruined!”
Lucas scoffed. “Your reputation? Do you have such a thing?
“If you’re unwilling to help, then you have no other value to me. Only death awaits you. After you die, I can still take your head and go to those families one by one to settle scores with them!”
Lucas wasn’t threatening Jensen but telling the truth.
It wasn’t that he didn’t dare to kill Jensen, nor was he afraid of the Hamiltons.
At worst, before the Hamiltons came to take revenge on him, he would eradicate the entire Hamilton family and leave no future troubles!
The surrounding people couldn’t help feeling nervous. Looking at the scene in front of them, they were really afraid that Lucas would kill Jensen in a fit of anger.
Although they were all on Lucas’ side, Jensen was a scion of a royal family branch after all. If the Hamiltons really took revenge, they wouldn’t be able to be as confident as Lucas and dare to confront them!
Jensen was shocked and furious, but there was nothing he could do. All he could do was shout sternly, “Lucas Gray, don’t go too far!”
Lucas’s face darkened. He grabbed Jensen’s collar and gave him a tight slap across the face.
Smack!
“I didn’t have any grudges with the Hamiltons. Who came to me first and wanted me to submit to the Hamiltons?”
This was referring to when the Hamiltons went to California and wanted to control all the families in California.
Smack!
“Who did all kinds of bad things and sparked lustful thoughts? Who wanted to use their power to insult my wife and sister-in-law?”
Another slap landed on Jensen’s face. This was referring to how Jensen’s youngest son, Angus, had forcefully dragged Cheyenne and Charlotte into a private room in Orange County and wanted to violate them.
Smack!
“Who sent suicide warriors to assassinate me?”
Smack!
“Who instigated the Holmes to kidnap my wife and try to force me to death?”
Smack!
“Also, who sent experts to assassinate the helmsmen of the families close to me and incited other families to take the opportunity to snatch their territories and assets, causing al of DC to be in chaos?”
Smack!
“Now you’re telling me that I’m going too far. Who went too far?”
Every time Lucas said a sentence, a hard slap would land on Jensen’s face, making it red and swollen. Even a few of his teeth were loose from the slaps, and there was a strong smell of blood in his mouth.
Lucas was truly infuriated. All this trouble was caused by the Hamiltons. Now, Jensen even had the cheek to say that Lucas was going too far. Heh, then he wouldn’t stand on ceremony. He would show Jensen what bullying was!
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in shock.
In fact, they rarely saw Lucas flare up. He was usually indifferent, cold, and sometimes easy to talk to, but it was rare for him to show his emotions and get angry like today.
More importantly, the person Lucas kept slapping was a scion of a royal family branch!
Previously, Oscar didn’t know Jensen’s identity and had slapped him a few times. When he found out later, he had regretted it so much that his face was about to turn green, and he wished he could chop off the hand that had slapped him.
And now, even though Lucas already knew Jensen’s identity, he still dared to slap him mercilessly. His courage was truly impressive and awesome!
They truly admired Lucas. Indeed, only Mr. Gray dares to do this!
Jensen was beaten until his face was utterly red and swollen and covered in palm prints and finger marks. He was in an extremely miserable state. When he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood flowed out, along with a broken tooth.
This was the first time in many decades that Jensen had been beaten into such a miserable state.
Slapping someone was an extremely humiliating act to begin with, but Lucas had slapped him so many times in front of so many people. It was the greatest insult to Jensen!
Jensen’s eyes were red. If he could still move and stand up, he would throw himself at Lucas and perish together with him!
“I… Pfft!”
Jensen spat out the blood in his mouth as he glared at Lucas. “Lucas Gray, I don’t want to talk about who was right and who was wrong in the past. You said that I wanted to deal with you and that my son bullied your wife, but in the end, your wife was fine. Instead, the one who died was my son!
“You said that I sent people to assassinate the helmsmen of those wealthy and powerful families in DC, but I only caused them to suffer severe injuries and spared their lives. I didn’t kill them directly!
“Furthermore, those helmsmen are just trash. My life is a thousand times more precious than theirs! Even if ten, twenty, or a hundred of them die, it’s not as important as my life!”
…
Near the end, Jensen started roaring angrily.
Lucas stared fixedly at Jensen, and the corners of his mouth moved as he revealed a mocking smile.
“Do you really think your life is nobler than others’? What a joke!
“In my eyes, your life really can’t compare to those of the helmsmen whom you severely injured and look down on!”
