Chapter 541 - Fighting And Catching Up
In the villa in the middle of the Kingston manor…
Lance, the helmsman of the Kingstons, was sitting on a couch in the middle of a hall. His face immediately turned gloomy upon hearing the voice.
He looked at his grandson Marc, who was standing beside him, and asked coldly, "What's going on? What kind of person did you provoke to our home?"
Marc hurriedly smiled and explained, "Grandpa, don't be angry yet. This person should be Lucas Gray, whom the Huttons told us about. He's just an abandoned son who was kicked out by the Huttons. The scion, Jace Hutton, has long disliked him and can't wait to get rid of him. So I'm just helping the Huttons with a minor issue.
"I got him to come to me on purpose, and I've already made all the necessary arrangements. As long as he breaks into our manor, I guarantee I won't let him walk out alive!"
Lance frowned. "You want to kill him? What are the rest of the Huttons' stand on this?"
Marc said confidently, "I've already obtained permission to kill Lucas Gray from Mr. Jace Hutton, so there won't be an issue. Moreover, he promised me that if we can help him kill Lucas Gray, he'll help us deal with the other Huttons. He will even give us aid in the future."
Only then did Lance nod in approval, but he then warned, "Since you've already communicated with the Huttons, I'm relieved. But remember, if you want to kill him, do a clean job and be resolute. Leave no stones unturned, and make sure he doesn't escape to create trouble for us instead!"
"Yes, Grandpa!" Marc nodded in agreement before turning around and walking toward the front yard.
Since Lucas Gray has already entered the Kingston manor, it's impossible for him to leave! I just need to catch him…
Marc, who had a confident smile on his face, instantly had a drastic change of expression when he saw the large group of bodyguards.
These bodyguards were not mediocre ones. They were elite bodyguards the Kingstons had transferred over from various places specifically to trap Lucas in the Kingston manor before killing him with Coby, his best trump card.
But things were completely different from what he had expected.
Only two short minutes had passed from the time he received the news of Lucas's intrusion.
Within two minutes, he was able to knock nearly thirty elite bodyguards onto the ground?
Marc had a look of disbelief on his face. What was even more unbelievable to him was that Lucas had come here alone, yet he had managed to defeat nearly thirty people besieging him in just a couple of minutes. It was simply too terrifying.
Just as Marc's heart was full of waves, Kyle, standing next to him, looked extremely gloomy. In fact, his heart was full of horror.
He would never forget that when he was at the auction venue held in Club Splendor in Orange County, Lucas had been as relaxed as he was today. In the blink of an eye, he had effortlessly killed Liam Wallace by shooting him in the neck with a small button.
"Marc, what… what should we do? Lucas Gray is too powerful. Our bodyguards don't seem to be his match at all!" Kyle said with a frightened look.
"Shut up!" Marc hollered coldly. "What are you afraid of? Yes, I also admit that Lucas Gray is indeed very powerful. But he's alone, while I can transfer at least a hundred bodyguards. If we besiege him, he'll definitely die!"
"Besides, even if he can really defeat all our bodyguards, I still have Coby, a top expert. Furthermore, there are also a few top experts around Grandpa. I can guarantee that he won't come back! What's there to be afraid of?"
Although Marc was a little surprised by the terrifying strength that Lucas was displaying, he definitely didn't think that Lucas could be a match for Coby, the top expert he had hired.
He would first get the bodyguards to fight Lucas to exhaust him to give Coby an advantage!
Anyway, he had to keep Lucas in the Kingston manor today and make him die!
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to face his grandfather and Jace Hutton.
Standing behind Marc, Coby looked at Lucas, who was nearly finished suppressing all of the bodyguards, with excitement in his eyes from seeing his opponent.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Kingston. Lucas Gray is no match for me! As soon as you give the order, I'll immediately take him down!" Coby said arrogantly.
Kyle was slightly relieved after hearing Marc's words and Coby's confidence. That's right. Even if these bodyguards are elites, they're just bodyguards. Real experts such as Coby have yet to make a move. What am I worried about?
At this moment, Lucas didn't even change expression in the slightest after seeing the constant stream of bodyguards surrounding him.
They were just small fries to him, and it wouldn't take much effort for him to deal with them. He thought Marc was just being delusional by thinking that they would be able to consume his energy.
Back when Lucas carried out a mission in Calico, he had once fought enemies for four days and three nights. During that time, the enemies that had died at his hands exceeded four figures. Hundreds of bodyguards in front of him were nothing.
Moreover, the situation now was different from then. He was on a battlefield back then, so he had to make sure to kill every single enemy. But now, these bodyguards were just following orders from their bosses. Lucas just had to break their legs and arms to stop them from fighting. In comparison, this was much easier and effortless.
Soon, the number of people lying around Lucas's feet increased as he steadily approached Marc step by step.

Meanwhile, on the road to San Francisco, nearly fifty cars were converging in a common direction.
The long line of cars traveled in single file, and the conspicuous logos on them made everyone widen their eyes in shock.
"Why is there such a long convoy? Is some notable family holding a wedding today?"
"No, there aren't any ribbons on the cars. It's certainly not a wedding! Do you see their license plates? They seem to be cars from Orange County and LA."
"I've seen that Orange County license plate of 66666 before. That car belongs to the helmsman of the Hale family from Orange County!"
"I also remember now that the car with the license plate of 99999 is from LA. It belongs to the helmsman of the Parkers from LA! A friend of mine took pictures of it and showed me them before. There can't be a mistake!"
"So many cars are traveling together. Are they trying to do something? Is something major going to happen in San Francisco?"
...
Just as countless passersby marveled at these vehicles, the convoys heading to San Francisco finally discovered each other's presence.
"Hah, that car across belongs to the Parkers from LA. I wonder why they're suddenly here. I heard that there was a conflict between the Parkers and Mr. Gray previously. If they're going over to take advantage of the situation, they'd better not blame the Hale family for being hostile to them!" Connor stared at the car at the front on the other side with a look of determination in his eyes.
At the same time, Damon also saw the convoy belonging to the Brookes from Orange County. "Hmph, Bruce Hale has always been a sly old fox. Who knows if there's a link between him suddenly going to Orange County, Mr. Gray, and the Kingstons. Anyway, we have to get to Mr. Gray first!"
The convoys sped up in unison toward the Kingston manor.

In the Cole residence in San Francisco…
Alexis suddenly barged into Edmund's study and exclaimed anxiously, "Grandpa, bad news! Something has happened to Lucas!"
