Chapter 861: Reverse Threat
The reason Tyson was hesitating about ordering the gunman to shoot Lucas and Jordan wasn’t that he didn’t want to kill them but because he wanted to find out their true identities.
If Lucas was really just an abandoned child of the Huttons, Tyson would definitely have ordered him shot dead.
But for some reason, he kept having an ominous hunch, which was why he hadn’t ordered the Smiths’ gunmen to shoot Lucas and Jordan even though they were already surrounding them.
Now, he seemed to see some clues from his observation.
“Lucas Gray, no wonder you have the audacity to come to the Smith residence to cause trouble and behave so arrogantly. It seems you really have something to rely on, huh?
“I saw how quickly your subordinate dismantled the gun and how he defeated our guards on his own. He should be from the military, right?
“Hah, I found it really strange at first. I was wondering why I basically couldn’t find anything about you during those six years you vanished. I didn’t know where you were or what you’d done.
“But now I know. I’m afraid you must have stayed in an extremely secretive army during those six years, right? You should have learned your martial arts there, right?
“But even if that’s the case, you can’t be so presumptuous as to come to the Smiths and cause trouble here. Aren’t you afraid that your superiors will find out and punish you?”
While Tyson was speaking, he stared straight at Lucas without missing a single trace of his expression.
These were all only Tyson’s own guesses.
So he deliberately said this to see how Lucas would react!
If his guess was true and Lucas and Jordan were really from the military, their military rank would definitely not be low.
In that case, if he really killed the two of them, he would inevitably cause a lot of trouble for the Smiths.
Jordan was shocked. He didn’t expect that the scene of him dismantling the pistol with his bare hands would make Tyson guess that they might have been in the military.
But given Tyson’s appearance, he should only be guessing without any substantial evidence.
Otherwise, it would be terrible if Tyson knew their true identities.
After hearing what Tyson said, Lucas looked extremely calm, and he even smiled.
“Mr. Smith, you’re already so old, but I didn’t expect your imagination to be so rich that you’d guess that.
“As for what you said about me not being able to find out anything about me during those six years, that’s undoubtedly because I was a very insignificant person at the time. You naturally wouldn’t be able to find out anything about me.”
During those six years, Lucas had been in the Falcon Regiment in Calico, where he would spend almost every day fighting on various battlefields. He had left footprints not only in the US but also in many places all over the world.
It was basically impossible for Tyson to find out any information about Lucas.
And it was even more impossible for him to find out that Lucas was once the captain of the Falcon Regiment.
In six years, he had changed from an ordinary person with nothing to his name to the supreme God of War who protected the country. This matter would sound like an impossible legend to almost anyone.
After hearing Lucas’s answer, Tyson felt extremely conflicted.
Logically speaking, he couldn’t wait to kill Lucas and make him atone for causing his son to lose his sanity.

But he wasn’t sure if what Lucas said was true or not. If he was really someone with a great background but died in the Smith residence, it would definitely bring endless trouble to the Smiths.
However, it was impossible to let Lucas off just like that. If word got out, the Smiths’ dignity would be completely trampled.
For a time, Tyson didn’t know what he should do.
“Mr. Smith, I advise you not to speculate about my identity. Even if you guess correctly, I can’t tell you.” Lucas smiled and suddenly said seriously, “You should already know my purpose here today. I’m here to ask you to let Maddy go.
“As for the Smiths’ infighting, to be honest, I’m not interested at all.
“But if you must fight me to the death, then I can also tell you very clearly that there will only be one result—your death! Furthermore, your brother Thomas will become the next helmsman of the Smiths.
“Are you sure you want to use your death to pave the way for your brother?”
Lucas was extremely calm when he spoke, as if what he said was nothing out of the ordinary.
But his words were like a thunderbolt exploding in Tyson’s heart.
Indeed…
Lucas was right.
If he continued to fight Lucas like this, he might not be able to emerge victorious in the end. After all, even Lucas’s subordinate could easily take out hundreds of the Smiths’ bodyguards.
Lucas hadn’t even made a move yet!
According to the information Tyson had, Lucas was extremely good at martial arts too. At the very least, he was definitely not inferior to his subordinate.
If he failed, Thomas would obtain the position of helmsman without firing a bullet!
“Are… are you threatening me?” Tyson gritted his teeth. Although he wasn’t a fool, he wasn’t willing to give up this plan that he had spent a long time coming up with and let Maddy off.

Lucas shrugged. “It’s up to you to think whatever you want. I’m just telling the truth.
“Anyway, I’m definitely going to take Maddy away. But if you insist on going against me, I don’t mind killing a few more of you!
“You should also know that it doesn’t matter to me who takes over as the head of the Smiths in the end.”
What Lucas said immediately made Tyson frown even deeper, and the feeling of suffocation in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
In his heart, he knew that since Lucas had said that, he definitely wasn’t just scaring him.
With the strength Jordan had just shown, he was indeed capable of making the Smiths suffer huge losses. In fact, it wasn’t impossible for him to destroy the Smiths.
The thought of it made his heart sink even further.
There seemed to only be one path for Tyson.
After pondering for a while, Tyson finally clenched his jaw and said, “Okay, I can let that woman off, but you must promise me one thing!”
