Chapter 570 - Three Demands
After Lucas and Maddy exchanged a few pleasantries, he said to her, "Let's go. My car is right over there."
"Okay." Maddy agreed and followed behind Lucas, and the two of them walked toward the parking lot outside the airport.
"Hold it!" Moses could no longer think about anything else and immediately stopped the two upon seeing them leaving.
"Lucas, since you and Dr. Stone know each other, I'll get straight to the point. As long as you ask your friend to help cure my son's legs, I won't pursue the matter of you causing trouble at the Kingston manor yesterday. I'll also forget about the feud between my family and you!" he said through gritted teeth.
Lucas sneered and looked at him like a fool. "Do you have a problem with your brain? Don't forget. It was you Kingstons who took the initiative to make peace with me yesterday, and you even gave me money. That's why I agreed to let you off for the time being. Now, you're bargaining with me and saying that you won't pursue the matter? Hah, how arrogant of you!
"Besides, I crippled your son's legs because it's the punishment he deserves. Yet you want my friend to cure your son. What makes you think I should help?"
Moses was so furious that he was about to fly into a maniacal rage. But at the same time, his rationality told him that everything Lucas said was true.
"Lucas Gray, don't be too arrogant!
"It's true that the Kingstons begged for peace first yesterday, but do you think we're afraid of just you? If not for the Coles and those families from Orange County and LA who came over together to cause trouble when we weren't keeping our guard up, do you think you would have succeeded?
"Also, do you think that we're really afraid of you guys and that we don't dare to go to war with you? You're gravely mistaken! The Kingstons have been operating in San Francisco for many years. I can't say that we are invincible and have all the connections, but the Kingstons will at least be able to gather around twenty allies. What are small families like yours considered?
"We just didn't want to blow things up. That's why we chose to let this matter blow over. If you think the Kingstons are afraid of you, then you're being too arrogant!
"Now, I'm willing to give you another chance. As long as you ask your friend to cure my son's legs, I can guarantee in the name of the next helmsman of the Kingston family that I definitely won't make life difficult for you again in the future!"
Moses's tone was full of gusto while speaking, and he genuinely meant it from the bottom of his heart.
In his opinion, the reason that Lucas was able to defeat the Kingstons and leave safely yesterday was only that they weren't prepared and had their guard down.
Even if Lucas was good at martial arts, he believed that the Kingstons would be able to defeat and kill him if they sought help from other experts or even the Huttons.
Therefore, if Lucas was smart, he shouldn't refuse to accept Moses's offer. Otherwise, when the Kingstons were fully prepared, he would probably die to make up for the humiliation they had suffered.
At the side, Maddy couldn't help becoming interested.
She had just returned to the US today and wasn't aware of the feud between Lucas and the Kingstons. But after hearing what Moses said, she realized that his family seemed to have suffered a huge loss at Lucas's hands yesterday and were feeling disgruntled now, so they were using the excuse of being unprepared.
Hah, so interesting!
As expected of Lucas, he's still as impressive as ever, even after leaving the Falcon Regiment. He won't let anyone bully him!
In response to Moses's threats, Lucas sneered. "In that case, from today onward, none of the Kingstons are to appear in Orange County again. Otherwise, I'll kill every single one I see!
"All the Kingstons' businesses will vanish from Orange County and LA. Mark my words!
"Also, you can get lost now. If I discover that you're still in Orange County after half an hour, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
After saying this domineeringly, Lucas stopped looking at Moses and left with Maddy.
Behind him, Moses almost flew into a rage!
By mentioning these three things, it was apparent that Lucas didn't take the Kingstons seriously at all!
Not only did he want to drive all the Kingstons out of Orange County and LA, but he also threatened to make the Kingstons' businesses vanish from both cities.
Lucas Gray is too conceited and arrogant!
Hah, I'll see how exactly you can make the Kingstons' businesses vanish from these places!
Moses cursed furiously, but in his heart, there was a trace of uneasiness. Although Lucas was indeed really infuriating, he wasn't joking when he said those arrogant remarks. For example, when he said that he was going to war with the Kingstons yesterday and that he was going to break Marc's legs, he seemed arrogant, but he had indeed done it in the end.
This was the most terrifying thing about Lucas!
Moses didn't dare to use common sense to speculate on Lucas's behavior, nor did he dare to gamble with his life as a stake. Although he was enraged, he could only grit his teeth and leave the airport.
As for the medical expert Maddy, she obviously wouldn't return with Moses to treat Marc's legs since she was Lucas's close friend.
Moses left Orange County furiously and indignantly.
——
In the black Jaguar, Maddy looked at Lucas with a smile and joked, "Lucas, I've suddenly discovered that you're really kindhearted today! The Kingston family must have offended you badly, huh? But you merely crippled his son's legs, and you actually let him off today. You're the invincible God of War of Calico and the leader of the Falcon Regiment. You used to be murderous and decisive, but you were so soft-hearted this time. How rare!"
Lucas smiled faintly. "After all, we're in Orange County now and not the battlefield in Calico. If I kill people at will, it will cause a lot of trouble. Besides, it's just a wealthy family in San Francisco. Even if they've offended me, they can't do anything to me, so I just let it go."
In the past, he used to be harsh and decisive in killing because the enemies he faced were those who posed a threat to his country, so he naturally wouldn't be merciful to them. But he didn't take a mere Kingston family seriously at all.
After a moment of silence, Maddy suddenly asked, "Lucas, are you not going to return to the Falcon Regiment ever again?"
Lucas was stunned for a moment, and a trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes. He nodded gently. "Well, I won't go back. Now that the situation in Calico has already calmed down, I can retire completely. It's not a bad thing to come back and live the life of an ordinary person here."
"…" Maddy stayed silent for a while before saying reluctantly, "To be honest, I was quite sad when you left all of a sudden. Moreover, you came back to Orange Country for your wife and daughter, right?"
Lucas immediately and subconsciously smiled warmly. He nodded and admitted, "Yes, I owed them too much in the past, so I can only use the rest of my time to make it up to them."
Seeing the gentle expression on his face, which was extremely rare, Maddy was immediately stunned and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Lucas, the former mighty and domineering leader of the Falcon Regiment, actually revealed such a gentle expression. The jaws of their comrades would definitely drop if they saw it!
