Chapter 829: I Want To Pledge Allegiance
Lucas said indifferently, “I heard.”
The sound of teeth grinding immediately came from the other end.
At the thought that Lucas had heard what they said, Tyson was so furious that his teeth were chattering.
Lucas smiled lightly. “Mr. Smith, I didn’t expect that you not only want to snatch Oregon and California away from me, but you even want me to work for you. What a good plan!”
On the other end, Tyson sneered. “Kid, since you’ve heard it all, it doesn’t matter! As long as you are willing to serve the Smiths and work for us, I can help you deal with the Huttons and take revenge for you and your mother!”
A cold light flashed in Lucas’s eyes. “The matter has already been exposed, so stop trying to fool me with the same reason. Your behavior makes it seem like you’re treating everyone else like a fool. Of course, the real fool might be you, Mr. Smith.”
“Bastard! How dare you?!” Tyson flew into a rage. “I’m the helmsman of the Smiths! Punk, are you that impatient to die?”
Lucas mocked, “Those two successors of the Smiths said the same thing in front of me several times, but I’m still alive and well.”
“Don’t be so smug in front of me! The Smiths have yet to deal with you officially! Just you wait. I’ll make you die miserably! I’ll make you regret what you said today!” Tyson roared in exasperation.
“Okay, I’ll wait.” Lucas showed a dangerous smile. “Let me tell you something then. From now on, I’ll kill every Smith I see in California and Oregon!
“I hope you won’t regret it in the future.”
With that, Lucas crushed the phone!
Tyson’s lungs were about to explode when he heard Lucas’s threat. The helmsman of one of the eight top families in DC was actually threatened by a kid!
The more annoying thing was that this kid actually hung up without saying a single word!

Enraged, Tyson called back, but this time, the phone was no longer reachable.
He angrily swept a pile of documents on his desk onto the floor.
After a while, Tyson finally began to think about what just happened.
Logically speaking, Charlie should be with Oscar and Invincible Phantom Hands. But now, he was clearly under Lucas’s control, and even this call was under Lucas’s supervision. In that case, where was Invincible Phantom Hands?
Given Tyson’s understanding of Invincible Phantom Hands, he knew that Invincible Phantom Hands was very loyal. Thus, the only reason he couldn’t protect Charlie was that he had gotten into a mishap too. The greatest possibility was that Invincible Phantom Hands had been defeated by Lucas!
In that case, things were truly awry!
…
In the office building of Peak Constructions in Orange County…
In the meeting hall, after crushing the phone, Lucas turned to look at Charlie and said coldly, “Since your master won’t cooperate, I’ll have no choice but to kill you here.”
With horror written all over his face, Charlie suddenly got on his knees in front of Lucas.
Thud!
His knees smashed against the floor with a dull sound, and excruciating pain instantly assaulted him.
But Charlie could no longer care about the pain, as he was already under the shadow of death. With fear all over his face, he said, “Mr. Gray… please! Please let me go! I-I’m just a butler, and I’m merely following orders. I never intended to offend you!
“I… I’m already sixty-four years old. Please let me off and spare my life!”
The wrinkly-faced Charlie was kneeling on the floor with a pleading gaze in his eyes, looking extremely pitiful and miserable.
The other people in the meeting hall didn’t dare to breathe as they watched everything with horror all over their faces.
Oscar, the successor of the Smiths, had already fled far. Charlie, the Smiths’ butler, was now kneeling on the floor and begging Lucas to spare his life.
In that case, what would happen to them, the ordinary employees of the Smiths?
They could only pray that Lucas wouldn’t take them, a bunch of small fries, seriously and not hold them accountable.
Lucas lowered his head and looked at Charlie indifferently. “Don’t worry. I won’t let you die just yet. I still need you for something.
“Stand up and come with me.”
Hearing that Lucas would spare his life for the time being, Charlie immediately burst into excitement and hurriedly thanked Lucas. “Thank you, Mr. Gray! Thank you, Mr. Gray!”
As for what Lucas wanted him to do, Charlie could no longer worry about it.
Lucas turned around and was about to leave when a figure suddenly rushed over and knelt down in front of Lucas with a thud.
“Mr. Gray, I am willing to pledge allegiance to you. I beg you to give me this chance!”
The person kneeling in front of Lucas was Invincible Phantom Hands, one of the Smiths’ top powerhouses!
His action immediately caused everyone to have a look of disbelief.
One of the top three experts of the Smiths was actually kneeling in front of Lucas and begging him for a chance to pledge allegiance to him. It was… simply incomprehensible!
The Smiths were one of the eight great families of DC. Be it for status or power, it was better to follow them than Lucas, right?
Charlie was shocked.
As the chief butler who had worked for the Smiths for years, Charlie was very clear about what kind of person Invincible Phantom Hands was.
His strength ranked among the top three in the Smiths, and he had gained the trust of the Smiths.
Besides, Invincible Phantom Hands was an extremely arrogant person. In order to recruit him, the Smiths had spent a large amount of money. His current annual salary was a high seven figures.
But Invincible Phantom Hands actually took the initiative to beg to pledge allegiance to Lucas.
It was really hard to understand!
However, Charlie was only guessing the inner thoughts of Invincible Phantom Hands with the mind of a normal person, so it was naturally impossible for him to guess what kind of a person he was.
Invincible Phantom Hands was a martial arts practitioner and a top expert in the eyes of the general public. What he had seen and was in pursuit of was naturally different from that of Charlie and the others.
Invincible Phantom Hands was very certain that Lucas’s strength had now definitely reached the legendary grandmaster level.
Even his master hadn’t reached this level and ended up dying with regrets.
Now, he had an extremely rare opportunity!
As long as he could follow Lucas and receive some pointers from him, he might one day be able to step into that threshold himself and become a transcendent grandmaster, accomplishing what his master hadn’t been able to back then!
But Lucas merely lowered his head and glanced at Invincible Phantom Hands indifferently. “I don’t need a traitor to pledge allegiance to me.”
