Chapter 950: Are You Remorseful?
Everyone was attracted by Jordan’s sudden voice and turned to look at the figure he was dragging.
It was a stranger in his thirties with a thick beard. Perhaps because Jordan had broken his legs, he looked miserable and in pain as Jordan dragged him toward the Howards.
The rest of the Howards didn’t know him, so they looked bewildered.
But when Felix saw this person and the Barrett sniper rifle Jordan was holding in his other hand, his face twitched.
“Mr. Howard, you should know who this person is, right? What do you think the Peerless Martial Association will hear from this man if I hand him over to them?” Lucas smiled while looking at Felix, whose expression drastically changed.
Felix gritted his teeth, and the loose skin of his cheeks began trembling.
Of course, he knew who this bearded man was. He was the famous sniper he had secretly arranged.
Felix had wanted this sniper to kill Jordan and then find a chance to kill Lucas. But he never expected Jordan to be completely unscathed while the person shot to death became Hades of the Peerless Martial Association.
Now, this person was dragged in front of everyone by Jordan.
If Lucas really handed over this bearded sniper to the Peerless Martial Association, they would find out about everything, and the Howards definitely wouldn’t be able to escape the wrath of the Peerless Martial Association!
…
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!
“Who is this person? Does it have anything to do with the Howards? Even if you hand him over to the Peerless Martial Association and prove that he killed Hades with a sniper rifle, what does it have to do with the Howards?” Since Felix couldn’t find a better solution, he could only continue to feign ignorance.
Lucas sneered with raised brows. “I haven’t said anything yet, but you already know that this man killed Hades with a sniper rifle. You’re really impressive!”
Hearing this, the rest of the Howards were astonished.
What?
Hades was really shot to death by a sniper?
And… it seems to have something to do with Felix.
If Hades had really been killed by the Howards’ sniper, the Peerless Martial Association definitely wouldn’t let them off!
At the thought of this, the Howards turned pale.
Felix gritted his teeth and said angrily to Lucas, “What exactly do you want?”
Lucas looked at Felix’s pale face and suddenly said, “You’ve done countless vile things for years for the sake of gaining so-called power and status. Have you ever felt remorseful toward those people you’ve hurt?
“I heard that my father-in-law, whom I’ve never met, was killed by you. You caused their family to fall apart and my wife to be abandoned by the roadside since she was a child. As a result, she had to suffer a lot throughout her childhood. Don’t you want to say something about this?”
An icy cold gaze appeared in Lucas’s eyes.
He had only met Felix for the first time tonight, but he didn’t have a good impression of him during the brief contact.
He was an old man in his seventies, but he was still so greedy for power and interests. He was brutal and ruthless, and his eyes were full of nothing but cold calculations.
Just now, he had even ordered the sniper to kill Jordan!
If Lucas hadn’t reacted in time and thought of an idea to block the bullet the instant it shot over, Jordan would probably be dead now.
If not for the fact that he was Cheyenne’s grandfather, Lucas would have killed him!
Besides, Felix had even killed Cheyenne’s father, which was also a feud that had existed between them for years.
Florence stared at her father, biting her lip so hard that it started bleeding.
The death of the man she loved the most would forever be the most painful part of her past!
“I can’t even bring myself to call you my father. You don’t care about kinship at all. Even though I’m your biological daughter, I’m just a pawn you can use! You killed the person I love the most and ruined my life. You’re not worthy of being my father at all!” Florence said angrily with red eyes.
Felix snorted coldly and snapped in exasperation, “Shut up!
“As the helmsman of the Howards, everything I’ve done is for the benefit of the Howards! Love and kinship mean nothing to me.
“All you know is the Howards are one of the top eight families of DC and hold a prestigious position. But do you know the tragic past the family went through to get to where we are now?
“Also, do you think it’s easy being the helmsman? There are so many wealthy families in DC, and a slight carelessness would cause us to fall from the top and be shattered into pieces!
“If it weren’t for my conscientiousness and effort that I’ve put into managing the Howards painstakingly for all these years, do you think you’d get to lead such an affluent life and enjoy the glory of an elite family?
“For the sake of the family’s interests, I’m willing to do anything. Killing a few people means nothing to me. So what if I treat you as pawns?
The more Felix spoke, the more agitated he became. He suddenly turned his head to stare at Florence and roared, “Hmph, what right do you have to accuse me?! You have no idea how much effort I’ve put in to allow the Howards to stand strong and remain at the top!
“Hah, I’m already seventy-five years old. Who knows how many years I have left to live. Don’t you think I want to enjoy a comfortable and relaxed life and leave the Howards to you guys?
“Everything I’ve done is for the Howards!”
He looked extremely agitated as he revealed his philosophy of life.
He was a cold and ruthless person who cared only for family interests. He was willing to do anything for the sake of his family!
Lucas watched everything coldly without saying anything.
Whether it was for his family or his own desire for power and authority, only Felix himself would know.
Lucas came here today only to save Florence from the Peerless Martial Association. The other matters had nothing to do with him.
After Florence heard what Felix said, her eyes widened in disbelief.
A moment later, she smiled miserably while tears flowed out of her eyes.
