Chapter 436 - Want To Be Friends

"Hey, Lucas, it's been a long time since we met!" A voice suddenly came from behind them.

They turned around and looked at the person who spoke.

It was a young man in his thirties who had a buzz cut and a muscular body. He was none other than Callum Owen, who had once met Lucas in Club Splendor in Orange County. He was also the brother of Elijah, who was at the side.

"Callum? Didn't you… say you had something to do and couldn't come? Why did you suddenly show up?" Elijah was extremely bewildered. At the same time, he sounded a little flustered too.

The plan tonight was decided by him and Tristan. If Callum found out, he would definitely beat him up!

"Callum, you're here too," Tristan said respectfully, not daring to put on any airs in front of him.

After all, although both the Parkers and the Owens were families of equal status and power in LA, Callum was the most highly valued descendant of the Owen family and the most likely to become the next successor.

But Tristan was only a descendant of the Parker family, and his cousin Kenneth had a higher status than him in the family. In the future, the one to succeed as the helmsman of the family was Kenneth, not Tristan.

Tristan had the self-awareness to know about this.

Callum merely nodded at Tristan, then walked to Lucas and said with a smile, "Lucas, I didn't expect you to come to Caldo Mountain for fun too."

Lucas wasn't polite at all as he said bluntly, "We don't seem to be very familiar with each other."

Callum didn't think much of it and instead smiled. "We live in different cities, so it's only normal that we haven't had many chances to interact. However, I feel that we might be able to become very good friends in the future."

Lucas shrugged without saying anything.

During the auction in Club Splendor previously, they didn't have a pleasant meeting with each other, so Lucas thought that Callum was here to create trouble for him. But he didn't expect him to be here to befriend him.

It was really surprising.

With a look of astonishment, Elijah said in disbelief, "Callum, do you know what the hell you're saying? Back in Orange County, this punk caused us to be thrown out of the auction by Russell Duncan. He thoroughly embarrassed us, and you say you want to befriend him?"

"Shut up!" Callum immediately rebuked Elijah, and he even glowered at him, warning him not to spout nonsense.

Not only was Elijah confused as to what his brother was trying to do, but even Tristan was puzzled too.

But Callum had a higher status than the both of them, and whenever they went out as a trio, Callum would make the decision most of the time. So they could only keep quiet and see what exactly he was trying to do.

Several of the surrounding scions of LA were staring at Callum in astonishment. But most of them were staring at Lucas curiously.

This young man was just targeted by Tristan, but why is Callum Owen suddenly treating him with so much respect?

"Are you saying that you want to be friends with me?" Lucas asked in surprise.

Callum smiled. "The more friends you have, the more options you have in life. I admire your character, Lucas. So I really want to be friends with you. What do you think?"

Lucas chuckled. "Is that so? But I don't admire your character, and I don't want to be friends with you at all."

As soon as he said this, Callum's confident expression suddenly stiffened.

After two seconds of silence, an uproar broke out among everyone.

Callum was the esteemed successor of the Owen family, one of the two top giants in LA and someone countless people vied to suck up to.

But Callum had a cold and aloof personality, and very few people could really get close to him.

Others would be over the moon to hear that Callum wanted to befriend them. Yet Lucas didn't show him any respect at all and rejected him in public.

They thought that he had to be silly!

The crowd started discussing, and Callum's expression changed rapidly for a while before calming down. He asked with raised brows, "Lucas, are you not going to give me this chance?"

Lucas sneered. "You and I aren't that close. Why should I?"

Callum didn't say anything, but Elijah could no longer stand it.

"Damn it! Lucas Gray, don't go too far! My brother has a high status, and he's being nice enough to stoop low and ask to befriend someone like you. If you dare to speak to him like that again, I'll immediately kill you!" Elijah hollered at Lucas furiously.

In fact, since the time they had formed a feud against each other at the auction in Orange County, coupled with Tristan's hatred of Lucas, they decided that they wouldn't let Lucas return alive tonight.

But they didn't know how Lucas had somehow made it down the mountain alive.

Moreover, they didn't expect that Callum would suddenly appear here and ask to befriend Lucas!

Besides, the most infuriating thing was that Lucas actually had the audacity to turn Callum down in front of everyone!

Who does he think he is?! Elijah lashed out at Lucas furiously, thinking that he was standing up for his brother.

However…

Smack!

As soon as Elijah said those words, Callum raised his hand and slapped his face hard!

"I'm warning you. If you ever dare to say something disrespectful to Lucas again, I won't go easy on you, even if you're my younger brother!" Callum warned with a hostile expression.

Everyone was instantly flabbergasted!

Elijah was dumbstruck by the sudden slap, and he only returned to his senses after a long time. He said in disbelief, "Callum, did you just slap me? You actually slapped me because of an outsider like him?!"

Callum said coldly, "If you continue speaking so rudely to Lucas, I'll not only hit you but kill you too!"

He was really ruthless.

Elijah's face instantly stiffened, and he felt as if his blood had frozen.

Of course, he didn't know that just a short while ago, an extremely shocking event had occurred in the Lion Restaurant in LA.

Although Matthew had ordered all the people present at the time not to spread a word about it, no secret could be kept forever. Callum, the future successor of the Owens, had nevertheless found out about it.

After hearing about what had happened tonight, Callum was in disbelief at first. There were naturally people in this world who could break Matthew Benson's precious son's arm and get away scot-free, but he never thought that Lucas Gray would be one of them.

But after hearing the descriptions of the incident from those who were aware, Callum was astonished and certain that this person was indeed the Lucas Gray he had met before.

Besides, he even heard that the top expert Stanley, who had previously vanished from LA, was now Lucas's follower!

Almost everyone who was born and bred in LA knew how terrifying Stanley was.

All of this meant that Lucas definitely wasn't an ordinary person!

In fact, he thought that the person who had managed to destroy the Brookes overnight was very likely to be Lucas too!

How terrifying was that?!

So when Callum happened to find out that his silly younger brother, Elijah, had come to Caldo Mountain together with Tristan to harm Lucas, he panicked and rushed over immediately.
