Jordan smiled, and a strange gaze appeared in his eyes.

He had already felt that there was something wrong with Ezra before. But seeing him feigning ignorance with a look of bewilderment and saying that he didn’t know Lucas, he found it ridiculous.

Ezra was indeed the culprit behind this matter!

Jordan was still strangling Tiffany and ignoring the Howards. He turned his head slightly and looked at Lucas, asking him if he should let this woman off.

If Lucas wanted him to, he would let her go. Likewise, if Lucas wanted him to kill her, he would do so without consideration for the Howards.

Lucas glanced at the Howards in front of him and said expressionlessly, “Kill!”

“Yes!” Jordan immediately nodded. At the same time, he tightened his grip on Tiffany’s neck.

Snap!

Jordan immediately crushed Tiffany’s throat.

The moment the Howards appeared, Tiffany had thought she was finally saved. But she didn’t expect that the two young men in front of her didn’t care about the deterrence of the Howards at all!

The moment she was at her last breath, her eyes were full of endless regret. If she had known that this would happen, she would have never allowed Ezra to instigate her to provoke Lucas…

But it was all too late now!

Thud!

Jordan squeezed Tiffany’s neck and threw her corpse at the feet of Samuel and Ezra with a casual wave.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was extremely stagnant at this moment.

Everyone was staring at Tiffany’s corpse in shock.

None of them expected that Jordan actually still dared to kill Tiffany right in front of the Howards even though the Howards’ successor had already appeared and told him to stop. He even threw the corpse in front of them!

This… was simply a blatant provocation!

They were on the Howards’ territory, and it was the 75th birthday of the Howards’ helmsman!

On this important day, this young man actually killed a guest of the Howards at their birthday banquet. Were they… out to blow things out of control?

Weren’t they afraid of the Howards’ retaliation?

Only Erza had a trace of excitement in the depths of his eyes, as if he finally achieved what he wanted. He was very satisfied with the scene in front of him.

Samuel froze and then pointed at Jordan and Lucas. “You… you two actually killed someone at my father’s seventh-fifth birthday? Who… are you two?!”

It seemed that he really didn’t know who Lucas and Jordan were.

Lucas quickly glanced at Erza, who was next to Samuel, and happened to see the excitement in his eyes.

In an instant, Lucas understood Ezra’s intention for this move.

It was extremely simple to explain. He was undoubtedly just trying to use someone else to achieve his motive.

Lucas had heard everything the guests said.

Samuel should be of the same generation as Florence.

Moreover, Samuel would soon take over as helmsman of the family.

Ezra, who was called the most outstanding heir of the third generation of the Howards, was likely to become the helmsman in the future.

But once Samuel became the family’s helmsman, it would be almost impossible for Ezra, his nephew, to have the opportunity to be established as the future successor from Samuel’s hands.

Samuel had his own children too, and it was impossible for him to ignore them and hand over the position of helmsman to his nephew.

Thus, Ezra had deliberately staged this scene to make Lucas and Samuel get into a conflict to have the latter killed!

It seemed Ezra knew a lot about Lucas. Otherwise, how could he be so sure of killing Samuel?

Lucas looked at Ezra and asked calmly, “Ezra, are you sure you’re not going to say something?”

“Sorry, Sir, I don’t know who you are or what you mean by that statement.” Ezra showed a look of puzzlement before shrugging, looking rather innocent.

It seemed Ezra planned to feign ignorance to the end.

There should actually be two other people among the Howards who knew their identities, Florence and Pamela.

But since Ezra was playing such games, he would have probably used some tricks to stop those two people from appearing in the banquet hall to identify Lucas.

In that case, Lucas had nothing more to say.

“Oh, since you have the guts to do these things and still feign ignorance in front of me, I hope you’ll have the guts to bear the consequences later!” Lucas smiled faintly at Ezra with a kind expression.

But this kind expression gave Ezra the chills!

Lucas no longer paid attention to Ezra and looked at Samuel calmly. “Samuel, I think you’re smart enough. If you want to know if Ezra and I know each other or not, it should be easy for you to find out.

“I advise you to check things out first before making a decision. Otherwise, it’ll be too late for regrets.”

Lucas had always been smiling faintly.

But his smile made many people present feel their scalp tingle.

Just now, he had merely said one word to have Tiffany killed, and she really died. No one dared to treat him as a small fry anymore.

Even Ezra, who had always felt that everything was under his control, couldn’t help feeling a little creeped out.

Samuel was taken aback by what Lucas said, but he soon sneered. “Hmph, I don’t care if you know Ezra or not and what kind of relationship you have. Now, it’s indisputable that you openly killed a guest of the Howards at our banquet!

“No matter what reasons you have, what relationships you have, nothing matters now! Since you’ve done this, the Howards won’t let you off easily!” Samuel said furiously.

In his eyes, no matter what Lucas’s identity was, the fact that Lucas had just blatantly ignored his obstruction and killed Tiffany right under his nose was a provocation to the Howards!

Samuel didn’t take what Lucas said about Erza deliberately showing discord seriously because Samuel had never taken him seriously and didn’t believe it either.

Ezra said with a grin, “Uncle Samuel, they’ve killed someone at Grandpa’s birthday banquet. This is bad luck. They even severely injured Travis, and who knows if he can be saved now. Based on these two points alone, you mustn’t let them off!”

“So, I suggest that you call people over to deal with these two and then hand them over to the Gilded Association!

“Otherwise, we won’t be able to explain to the Gilded Association!”

Ezra had a gentle smile on his face, and the schemingness in his eyes could barely be noticed by ordinary people.
