Chapter 932: Attacked Halfway

Felix’s decision immediately made all the Howards in the hall raise their heads in disbelief, almost suspecting that they had heard wrongly.

After the initial shock, Florence instantly burst with euphoria!

She didn’t expect that her father would suddenly make such a request and hand over the position of helmsman to her!

This was something that she had dreamed of for years!

She immediately knelt in front of Felix without hesitation and said excitedly, “Yes! Father, I will definitely complete this task and won’t disappoint you!”

She was now extremely excited. To her, the task her father gave her wasn’t that difficult to complete.

She was well aware that Lucas’s Achilles’ heel was Cheyenne, her biological daughter. As long as she could repair her relationship with Cheyenne and get Cheyenne to stand on her side, Lucas would likely do so as well for Cheyenne’s sake.

It was only a matter of time before she completed the mission!

Looking at the ecstatic Florence, Ezra immediately turned gloomy.

He didn’t expect that Felix would make such a request and hand over the position of helmsman to a woman!

It was simply ridiculous!

No, the position of helmsman had to be his!

“Okay, that’s all. Everyone may leave!” Felix said and then left the hall under the protection of the twin experts.

The rest of the Howards left with their own emotions.

Ezra looked extremely sullen. After returning to his villa, he immediately made a call.

In order for him to become the helmsman, Lucas had to die!

Although he couldn’t personally kill Lucas, there were other powerful experts in this world. He was extremely familiar with the trick of using someone else to kill!

Soon, the call connected.

“Speak!” The person on the other end seemed to have a hot temper, and his tone was rather harsh and rude, seemingly not any politer to him because the caller was the most outstanding heir of the Howards.

Ezra didn’t dare to dwell on this matter. Instead, he said respectfully, “Mr. Dwayne, I have something to report to you. The person who killed Mr. Julian York has come to DC. He’s just left the Howards’ and is headed to the city center!”

…

After hanging up, Erza revealed a sinister smile, “Hah, Lucas Gray! I can’t kill you myself, but so what? Dwayne is the seventh-ranked expert of the Peerless Martial Association, and he’s much stronger than Julian York. Let’s see if you can live this time!

“Besides, even if you defeat Dwayne, the Peerless Martial Association won’t let you off. Just wait to die!”

Ezra had nothing but maniacal murderous intent on his face.

During the competition between two states in California back then, Ezra had witnessed with his own eyes how Lucas had killed Julian, who was among the top ten in the headquarters of the Peerless Martial Association.

Thus, his original plan was to make this call after sowing discord between Lucas and getting Samuel killed by Lucas. He would then reveal Lucas’s whereabouts to Dwayne of the Peerless Martial Association and let him deal with Lucas himself.

Although things had deviated greatly from his plans, Lucas was now his top enemy and a target he had to eliminate. So he could only use the Peerless Martial Association to do it for him.

As long as Lucas died, Florence was nothing to be afraid of, and the person who would eventually become the helmsman of the Howards was none other than him!

…

At this moment, Lucas and Jordan were driving back to the hotel in the city center.

While driving, Jordan sneered. “The Howards are really ignorant. How dare they want you to work for them and even get you to change your last name? What a joke!”

Sitting in the backseat with his eyes closed, Lucas smiled without answering.

Jordan was just complaining. After a while, he asked again, “Lucas, now that Maddy’s matter has been settled, the Stardust Corporation is back in your control, and the matter with the Huttons… should have already been resolved, what are your plans for the future?”

Hearing this, Lucas finally opened his eyes slightly and seemed to be in deep thought. Yeah, what should I do next?

In fact, when he was with the Falcon Regiment in Calico, Lucas had thought that he would quietly stay in Orange County once he finished his mission and left the military. He would then stay by Cheyenne’s side and treat her well to make up for everything he owed her and Amelia.

But after Lucas returned to Orange County, events happened one after another. As his power grew, the people he had to face became stronger as well.

These people turned from a few wealthy playboys to the four top families of Orange County, then to the top three families of San Francisco, and finally to the eight top families of DC.

But thanks to his incredible strength, he didn’t encounter any decent challenges along the way.

This time, he had come to DC to solve Maddy’s problems, but he had also taken the opportunity to resolve the matter with the Smiths and obtain the Smiths’ allegiance. He had also completely taken back control of the Stardust Corporation, and the Huttons had removed Jace from the successor position and replaced him with Enzo, who had a good relationship with Lucas.

Lucas had achieved almost all his goals, and there was no other goal for now.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lucas suddenly smiled. “Next, I’ll probably stay in Orange County to accompany Cheyenne and Amelia. When we have the time in the future, I’d like to take them out to travel the world.”

It would be great if he could live a relaxed and comfortable life.

Jordan smiled. “Great! Don’t forget to invite me and Maddy when the time comes! Let’s travel the world together!”

“Oh? It seems like things are going well between you two. When are you planning to settle down?” Lucas teased with a smile.

“Haha, soon. Maddy and I are still discussing this matter. You’ll be the first person to know!”

The two of them joked while driving to the hotel.

But suddenly, a tall SUV rushed straight toward the Land Rover that Jordan was driving!
