There were many Smiths around Oscar, all looking at him with astonishment. A few of them wanted to help him. But Oscar seemed to see something terrifying as he screamed and tried to smack the man away with all his might before huddling up behind the tree trunk behind him.

“Ah! No, d-don’t come here! I’ll give you everything! Please don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!” Oscar shouted with horror all over his face.

“Oscar!”

Seeing his son’s plight, Tyson’s eyes were wide with anger as he violently pushed aside the surrounding crowd and rushed toward Oscar.

“Ahhhh! Don’t… don’t come over!”

“I-I’m begging you! Don’t kill me! Please don’t kill me!”

Oscar could no longer recognize Tyson. Seeing Tyson coming over, he immediately yelled and began kowtowing frantically.

“Oscar, I’m your father! Open your eyes and take a good look at me. I’m your father!” Tyson yelled with reddened eyes as he grabbed Oscar’s shoulders and stopped him from continuing to move.

“Please, I… I’ll kowtow to you! Please spare me! I won’t go against you in the future! I won’t go to California again!

“Mr. Gray, please! Spare me!” Oscar screamed hysterically while struggling with all his might.

Looking at what his only son had become, Tyson felt like a knife was cutting his heart!

In particular, when he heard his son say the words ‘Mr. Gray’ in fear, his anger surged right up to his head!

“Lucas Gray! I want you to die. I’ll make sure you die a horrible death!” Tyson roared at the sky, so angry that he was about to lose his mind.

Oscar and Wendy were his only children.

Vince was the son of his brother Thomas.

Previously in Orange County, Wendy had set up Vince’s son, Roy, for the sake of killing Lucas. Later, Vince had killed her mercilessly in Orange County.

Tyson initially wanted to take revenge for his daughter, but he faced the unanimous opposition of the Smiths, who felt that Wendy had brought it upon herself for killing Vince’s son.

Thus, Tyson could only bear with the anger and pin all his hopes on his only son, Oscar.

However, his only son was now so terrified by Lucas that he had lost his sanity. How could he possibly accept this?!

“Damn you, Lucas Gray! If not for you, my daughter wouldn’t have died! My son wouldn’t have gone mad either!

“You’ve ruined my children! I will never live in peace with you in this lifetime!”

“I must kill you! You must die a miserable death! I will make you watch your wife and child die in front of you so that you understand my pain!”

Tyson’s eyes were burning with fury as he clenched his fists tightly. If Lucas was in front of him now, he would want to devour him!

Looking at his son still screaming in agony, Tyson smacked Oscar on the nape of his neck, knocking him out.

“Send my son to the hospital immediately!” Tyson ordered with clenched jaws.

The stunned Smiths immediately responded and sent Oscar to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Tyson gloomily returned to his own villa and immediately made a call. “Get the servants to prepare expensive gifts for the Stones!”

…

The people far away in Orange County weren’t aware of the things happening in DC.

In the chairman’s office of Stardust Corporation…

When Charlotte saw Lucas taking out the transfer contract for the land by the Sierra River, she was utterly astonished. “Lucas… t-this land auctioned for three thunder and fifty million dollars!

“The Smiths gave it to you just like that? How… how did you do it?”

Lucas smiled lightly, “Probably because of my charm.”

Of course, he wouldn’t tell Charlotte what means he had used to force Oscar to give the land for free.

“Lucas, you’re really charming. Is it possible that Oscar Smith has been really charmed by you? Isn’t this too eccentric for an old man in his forties,” Charlotte said with a deliberate smile.

Lucas patted Charlotte’s head in annoyance. “Girl, what are you thinking?

“Okay, I’ll be leaving Orange County for some time in the near future. I’ll need you to tend to the company at that time.”

Charlotte was stunned.

Lucas’s decision was beyond her expectations.

She hurriedly asked, “Lucas, where are you going? Will you be in any danger?”

Charlotte had always known that Lucas was not an ordinary person, so he wouldn’t stay in Orange County forever.

But since Lucas suddenly had to leave for some time, she was certain that something must have happened.

Looking at Charlotte’s worried expression, Lucas smiled slightly. “Don’t worry. I’m very powerful. Who could put me in danger?”

Looking at the confidence on Lucas’s face, Charlotte thought that he was indeed too powerful for ordinary people to hurt and felt slightly relieved.

But she was aware that as Lucas’s status continued to rise, the enemies he offended would become stronger and stronger.

The Peerless Martial Association and the Smiths of the eight top families of DC were hegemons not to be trifled with.

“Lucas, I know you have your own matters to do, and there are many things that I can’t help you with at all, but I hope that you can protect yourself well. Otherwise, Cheyenne, Amelia, and I will all be extremely worried about you!” Charlotte frowned worriedly.

“Okay, I understand.” Lucas was very touched and made a promise with the simplest words.

In fact, Lucas hadn’t planned to leave for DC so early.

His original plan was to settle the scores with the Huttons, seek justice for his mother, and get everything he deserved.

But things had changed, and Lucas had to change his plan and head for DC in advance.

Reason being, just an hour ago, Jordan suddenly called and anxiously reported a piece of news to Lucas. “Lucas, Maddy is getting married soon!”

Maddy was the international medical expert who became friends with Lucas and Jordan when they were in the Falcon Regiment in Calico back then.

This news immediately surprised Lucas.

Jordan had been secretly carrying a torch for Maddy for years, so when Maddy came to Orange County to help treat William, Lucas had created opportunities for the both of them to get closer to each other. The reason Lucas had sent Jordan to DC was to let him spend more time with Maddy, as well as protect Flynn.

Lucas naturally hoped that both Jordan and Maddy would be able to obtain their own happiness.

Over time, Maddy’s attitude toward Jordan had also changed a lot, and their romance was already budding.

But Maddy was suddenly going to marry someone else!

“Do you know who Maddy is marrying?” Lucas asked in a deep voice.

Jordan immediately said, “I’ve asked around. The person she’s marrying is from the Dempsey family, whom the Smiths are supporting. And their power in DC is on par with the Stones.”

After learning that Maddy was going to get married, he immediately went to find out about these things.

“The Smiths!”

As soon as Lucas heard mention of the Smiths, he immediately understood why Maddy was suddenly getting married!
