Jordan looked at the surrounding Smiths and instinctively frowned.

But on second thought, he realized that it wasn’t a big deal even if there were a lot of people here because no one in this world could pose a threat to Lucas!

“Okay, Lucas. We’ll go first.” Jordan wasn’t pretentious. He left the Smith residence with Maddy.

Now, Lucas was the only one left in the Smith residence.

“Hmph, what do you want to talk to me about? I don’t think there’s anything for us to discuss!”

Tyson had an awful expression on his face.

None of the things he had envisioned had come true. He had used Maddy to lure Lucas to the Smiths’ manor. But even until now, he hadn’t been able to do anything to Lucas apart from provoking Jordan into getting into an intense fight in their residence and allowing him to injure many people.

The only person who could restrain Lucas had already been released under Lucas’s threat. Now, Tyson had even less to confront Lucas with.

“Mr. Smith, you’re the head of one of the eight top families in DC. How can there be nothing for us to talk about? Isn’t there plenty for us to discuss?”

Lucas was standing proudly on the spot with a confident look, as if he was the true helmsman of the Smiths.

At the sight of Lucas’s appearance, Tyson was boiling with fury. But he couldn’t defeat Lucas, and just now, he had even compromised. Despite feeling uncomfortable, he could only endure it.

“Hmph, come with me!” Although Tyson had a long face, he still brought Lucas back to his study.

“Just tell me what you have to say!” After arriving in the study, Tyson spoke straight away without any politeness.

Speaking of which, Lucas was still an enemy that he wished to get rid of. It was already extremely rare for the two of them to stay in the same room so peacefully.

Lucas sat down on the couch in the study. “Speaking of which, there was no grudge between your family and me in the first place. It was the Smiths who took the initiative to provoke me and cause trouble. Isn’t this why the situation escalated out of proportion?”

Tyson’s face turned gloomy, but he truly couldn’t refute what Lucas said.

“What exactly are you trying to say?” he asked with an unnatural look on his face.

Lucas smiled and said slowly, “Now that we have time, why don’t we sit down and work out when the feud between us began.”

He raised a finger. “The first matter is your daughter, Wendy, looking for trouble with me for the sake of avenging her ex-husband and son who committed suicide. She even sent her expert bodyguard to try and kill me, but in the end, I crippled him. She was indignant, so she killed Vince’s son, Roy, and framed me for it so that Vince would come and deal with me!

“The second matter is Vince going to California. Not only did he want to kill me, but he even tried to take control of all the families in California. Later, he lost to me, but he was still extremely arrogant and domineering, so I taught him a lesson and made him kneel down and apologize to me. But the Smiths think that I’ve insulted and humiliated your entire family.

“The third matter is your son, Oscar, going to California to find trouble with me. He thought that he could deal with me using Invincible Phantom Hands. But unfortunately, he misjudged my strength and overestimated the abilities of your family’s experts. Thus, he lost and was even frightened to the point of losing his sanity.

“The fourth matter is regarding Charlie, the Smiths’ head butler. He tried to make use of me and deal with me, but he failed and ended up getting captured by me.

“And the fifth matter is caused by you. In order to take revenge on me, you schemed against me and used someone I care about to stage a fake wedding to lure me over. What happened in the end? Everyone has seen the result.”

Lucas talked about his feud with the Smiths.

Tyson listened at the side, and his face became more and more gloomy.

The Smiths had fought with Lucas several times, but the Smiths always ended up on the losing end and even suffered severe losses. They had either died or were disgraced. His son had even turned into a fool. But on the contrary, Lucas was completely fine. This made Tyson feel extremely depressed.

“Fine, I admit that the Smiths are indeed at fault for some of these things. But my daughter died in your hands.

“Not only that, but you also caused my only son to become a fool and killed my right-hand man, Charlie. These two reasons alone are why I can’t let you off. I will definitely make you pay for it!”

Tyson clenched his fists and glowered at Lucas with hatred.

Although Lucas was clearly dominating the situation, Tyson didn’t want to lower his head in front of Lucas and give up his hatred.

When he thought of his son’s current appearance and the death of Charlie, who had served him for decades, Tyson was full of fury.

Lucas smiled faintly. “How are you going to make me pay for it?”

Tyson choked before saying, “Although it’s true that I can’t do anything to you right now, I will definitely kill you to avenge them one day!”

Hearing this, Lucas not only didn’t become angry, but he even felt that Tyson was a sentimental person who valued ties.

Otherwise, any intelligent person wouldn’t possibly challenge him in this situation.

Lucas suddenly had some slight appreciation for him.

“It seems that our grudge mainly revolves around your son and your butler.

“Would you still hate me so much if I said that I can ask Maddy to treat your son and even let your butler return to your side?” Lucas suddenly asked.

“What… what did you just say?” Tyson was shocked and sprung up from his seat in agitation. “Charlie… isn’t dead? He’s still alive?”

Seeing how agitated Tyson was, Lucas smiled faintly.

Long before he came to the capital, Lucas had already asked Jordan to help him investigate what kind of a person Tyson was due to the feud and conflicts he had with the Smiths.

After learning that Charlie was extremely important to Tyson, Lucas decided to let Oscar return to DC while detaining Charlie with the Hales.

Previously, Lucas had deliberately gotten people to release the news about Charlie’s death. First, it was to create chaos among the Smiths and intensify the conflict between the two camps of the family. Second, he wanted to test Tyson.

If Tyson didn’t care in the slightest about Charlie’s death and only treated him as a pawn who could give him advice and be of some use to him, Lucas would simply turn around and leave.

But Lucas was rather pleased with Tyson’s performance.

It seemed that Tyson was indeed loyal and cared about ties, which was a rare trait among the helmsmen of the eight top families in DC.

This also showed that Tyson was trustworthy.

Thus, Lucas gave him an affirmative answer. “That’s right. Charlie is still alive.”

“Great! This is great!” Tyson was immediately excited, and even his eyes became a little red. He repeatedly said, “Great! He’s not dead. He’s not dead!”

But after the excitement, Tyson slowly calmed down and looked at Lucas. “But I doubt you’d hand him over to me so easily. Furthermore, you probably won’t agree to cure my son unconditionally either, right?”
