Chapter 465 - Damon’s Epiphany
Chapter 465: Damon’s Epiphany
Since they had provoked Lucas, all these top families, including the self-righteous Bensons, would face a destructive blow. And it was hard to guarantee if the Bensons could continue to stand tall in San Francisco in the future.
Only these fools would still think that they would obtain victory at this juncture!
Flynn and Ethan glanced at each other, and sure enough, they heard Damon’s gloating and excited laughter.
“Hahahaha, Ethan Sawyer, do you regret it now? I told you a long time ago that this is our turf. You’re just the head of a family in Orange County, and yet you had the audacity to speak to me with such disrespect and make an enemy of the Parkers for a nobody. Now, you know the difference between us, huh?!
“As long as I want, I can deploy another twenty, thirty, or even a hundred bodyguards and send them here whenever I want. Let’s see how you can still fight with me then! I have to say, you are worlds apart from your father!”
After mocking Ethan, he looked at Flynn with a triumphant smile. “Flynn Davis, for the past couple of months, I have allowed you to develop your company and rise to power in LA without stopping you, but that doesn’t mean I’m afraid of you! I am the helmsman of the Parker family, but you are just the general manager of a company. You are nothing in my eyes! How dare you speak shamelessly about destroying the Parkers?!”
Matthew sneered and couldn’t be bothered to stay any longer. He ordered, “Go deal with those three people and make sure not to spare a single one of them. Break all their limbs and then drag them over here to me!”
All the bodyguards started to take action together. In fact, they even got physical with Flynn and Ethan, who practically had no combat skills.
Lucas’s eyes immediately darkened.
At this moment, a figure in black suddenly darted in from the shattered glass window like a bolt of lightning. As soon as he arrived, he kicked the three bodyguards trying to grab Flynn and Ethan.
“Arrgh!”
“Urgh!”
“Oww!”
Amid their miserable shrieks, the figure stood right in front of Lucas while exuding an intimidating aura that deterred others from coming close.
“It’s… it’s Stanley Ray!” someone finally exclaimed in shock.
Stanley was the nightmare of almost all the helmsmen of LA families.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately caused a commotion as everyone panicked.
Just last night, the helmsmen of several families, including Matthew and Damon, had already met Stanley in the Lion Restaurant.
At the time, Stanley was standing by Lucas’s side, causing a great deterrent to them, which was also why Damon and Matthew feared Lucas then.
Thus, although the information they had received from some investigation was that Lucas wasn’t the scion of a powerful and noble family as they had thought, they were extremely cautious and full of scruples because they were unsure of why Stanley was standing by Lucas. Even though they had come here to confront Lucas, they had also sent people to investigate beforehand and decided to come over only after confirming that Stanley wasn’t following him today.
But they didn’t expect that the formidable killer Stanley would suddenly appear just when they were about to catch Lucas!
Damon and Matthew looked at each other, both having a hunch that things were about to get troublesome.
As they expected, Stanley was emitting a shocking murderous aura while spinning a shiny silver dagger between his fingers and glaring daggers at the numerous people in front of him, as if he was picking out the target to strike.
The elite bodyguards couldn’t help but feel intimidated by his aura, and they each took a step back.
Without even saying a word, Stanley managed to intimidate his opponents into being too scared to take a step forward just by glaring at them.
Moreover, Damon didn’t dare to say a word to reprimand the bodyguards or call them useless because the person in front of him was the formidable Stanley, who was well known throughout LA!
His notoriety couldn’t be concealed.
As the helmsman of one of the top LA families, Damon was definitely well aware of how terrifying Stanley was.
In the past ten years or so, Stanley had been the Brookes’ trump card. Those who had tried to deal with the Brookes or posed a threat to them would mostly die silently in their own homes without any evidence to prove that their deaths were Stanley’s doing.
Therefore, Damon had never wanted to go against the Brookes, for fear that his family would incur the wrath of the deadly and merciless Stanley.
Because Mathew wasn’t from LA, although he had heard of Stanley, he wasn’t as afraid of him as Damon was.
A thought suddenly surfaced in Damon’s head when he saw Stanley protecting Lucas!
Previously, the Brookes had been destroyed overnight, and all of them had fled LA immediately.
The Parkers had thought about going to the Brookes to take their share of the loot, so they had sent a junior from the family over. But it turned out to be a trick of the helmsman of the Brookes. After they scared that Parker away using Stanley’s name, they quickly fled from LA with all the important members of the family.
Later, the Parkers also sent people to search and stop them, but they were all stopped instead by some mysterious people they didn’t know. As a result, the Brookes managed to escape, and the Parkers couldn’t find anyone they could fish for information about the destruction of the Brookes.
But since then, all the businesses left behind by the Brookes had been taken over by Flynn, who then integrated them and developed them into the current Solar Corporation. He had the valid official documents signed and sealed by the helmsman of the Brookes, as well as the legal ownership of the Brookes’ businesses. Thus, despite very much wanting to, the other major LA families hadn’t been able to get a share of those businesses from Flynn.
Coupled with Stanley’s reappearance in LA and the various times he had helped Flynn deter the crowd that coveted the businesses, they gradually stopped daring to provoke them.
Now, Flynn, who had acquired all of the Brookes’ properties, was standing in front of Lucas and defending him vehemently. He had even said that he would make all the other families vanish.
Furthermore, Stanley, who had helped Flynn acquire all the Brookes’ remaining businesses, was also standing in front of Lucas and clearly defending him. He was also treating Lucas with utmost respect.
In addition, ever since the destruction of the Brookes, there had been a rumor circulating in LA’s upper-class circle that the Brookes were destroyed by some mysterious big shot who stood behind Stanley.
All this information pointed to an extremely terrifying truth.
To make things worse, this wasn’t all!
When Ethan, the richest man of Orange County, had brought his daughter over just now, he was still apologizing to Damon respectfully, clearly not wanting the relationship between the two families to turn sour because of Tristan’s death.
But Ethan’s attitude changed drastically the moment he saw Lucas, and he hadn’t hesitated to fall out with the Parkers or make enemies of all the powerful LA families just so he could stand on Lucas’s side.
Damon had watched Ethan grow up and knew that he was definitely smart. Otherwise, Ethan wouldn’t have been able to become the successor of his family and even develop the Sawyers into the richest family in Orange County.
Everyone thought that Ethan must have lost his mind like Flynn had, but Ethan still insisted on doing so. What did this mean?
It could only mean that Lucas, whom Ethan was willing to give his all to defend, was definitely of high status. In fact, he was perhaps even more terrifying than all of their power combined!
After Damon thought about it and figured it out, his back was instantly drenched in cold sweat!
When he looked at Lucas, his gaze was no longer contemptuous but full of scruples. “Who… who exactly are you?”
