Chapter 1083: Inciting a Fight
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
What Trevor had just said was clearly aimed at Alexander, blaming him for Godfrey’s death.
After all, among the same generation of the Steeles, only the three cousins were qualified to compete for the position of the future helmsman. Now that Godfrey was dead, Alexander was the only person who could pose a threat to Trevor.
Although Lucas didn’t have a good impression of Alexander and didn’t care much about his life, he was the one who had killed Godfrey, so there was no need to involve Alexander.
When Trevor heard the domineering statement from Lucas, his heart trembled uncontrollably again.
Even the helmsman of the Steeles wasn’t qualified to ask him to do things. Was Lucas being serious or just blowing his trumpet?
!!
Trevor stared at Lucas for a while before suddenly asking in a deep voice, “Who exactly are you?”
“Haha, I know who this punk really is. He’s just an illegitimate son of the Huttons who was kicked out of the family years ago. He’s nothing much at all. Don’t be intimidated by him.”
Suddenly, a voice full of hatred sounded from not far away.
Trevor turned around to look and saw a familiar face—Jace!
Beside him was a white-bearded old man.
Lucas narrowed his eyes. He had wanted to settle the scores with Jace later, but Jace came over himself to court death!
With a vengeful smile on his face, Jace continued, “Speaking of which, Lucas Gray is my half-brother. But he was driven out of the family two decades ago and forbidden from returning to DC.
“Since then, he has been living in Orange County as a bottomfeeder. He even shamelessly became a live-in husband.
“Afterward, perhaps because he was ridiculed too much, he joined the military and learned some martial arts there, but that’s about it.
“Now, he has already left the military, and he doesn’t have any other force to support him. He’s all alone, and anyone proficient in martial arts can easily kill him!”
In fact, back in the abandoned hospital in Orange County, Jace had already learned of Lucas’s true identity and knew that he was the former captain of the Falcon Regiment and also the mighty invincible God of War.
But now, Jace already knew that he and Lucas had an irreconcilable conflict. Thus, in order to incite Trevor into killing Lucas, Jace naturally wouldn’t reveal his true identity but instead deliberately kept Lucas’s identity and power a secret and only said that he had retired from the military.
After hearing what Jace said, Trevor finally understood Lucas’s identity and where he obtained his martial arts skills.
If Lucas was really just a retired soldier and an abandoned son of the Huttons, he would probably be able to kill Lucas as long as he spent some effort.
Alexander stood out and chided angrily, “Jace, this is the Steeles’ affairs, and it has nothing to do with the Huttons. Even if there is a grudge between you and Mr. Gray, you shouldn’t be trying to sow discord here by deliberately saying those things!”
Alexander knew that Lucas had indeed spent a few years in the military. Although he had yet to find out Lucas’s true identity, he could tell from his skills and aura that he had definitely had a high position in the army and that he wasn’t as simple as what Jace made him out to be!
Jace had deliberately made Lucas sound like a rookie soldier who had just returned from the military to make Trevor belittle Lucas and then go all out to deal with him.
This was Jace’s ploy to use him to kill Lucas. If Trevor really believed Jace, it might bring disaster to the Steeles!
Jace raised his eyebrows and looked disdainfully at Alexander. “I’m telling the truth. It’s up to you to believe it or not! He is an illegitimate son of the Huttons. I know him better than you do!”
Trevor didn’t say anything but instead looked at Lucas firmly.
Honestly speaking, he was very tempted to kill Lucas now.
After all, Lucas had mercilessly killed Godfrey in front of him and everyone else, causing the Steeles to be disgraced. If he let Lucas off, the Steeles would probably become a laughingstock.
But Lucas was undeniably very powerful. If he really wanted to take out Lucas, the middle-aged man beside him might not be able to handle him.
Trevor didn’t think that Lucas was really just a retired soldier proficient in martial arts. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to easily kick to death the man with the dragon tattoo, whom Godfrey had hired. He wouldn’t have made the middle-aged man beside him so scrupulous either.
“Hmph, I’ll let you be arrogant for a while longer. I’ll show you the real deal in the ring later!” Trevor said, giving himself an out, and left with the middle-aged man.
Jace was instantly disappointed.
He had wanted to incite Trevor into attacking Lucas immediately, but he didn’t expect Trevor to be too timid to do it.
But Trevor had already walked away, so Jace couldn’t continue saying instigating words.
Lucas ignored the threat made by Trevor and the middle-aged man when they left. Instead, he looked straight at Jace and said grimly, “Jace, you got away last time, but do you think I won’t dare to do anything to you this time?”
Seeing the look in Lucas’s eyes, Jace shivered. But when he thought about the white-bearded old man beside him and where he was now, he became emboldened. “Hmph, Lucas Gray, do you think it’s the same this time? We’re now in Club Illuma. Let’s see what you can do to me!”
“Oh, is that so?” Lucas smiled with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Seeing this, the white-bearded old man immediately stepped in front of Jace and stared at Lucas warily. “If you dare to attack Jace here, you will definitely die miserably!”
The owner of Club Illuma had strong ties with Jace.
If Lucas really made a move against Jace here, the top experts in Club Illuma would definitely make a move too!
“Are you threatening me?” Lucas sneered, and his body suddenly moved quickly, immediately vanishing on the spot!
The next moment, he suddenly appeared behind the white-bearded old man and strangled Jace’s neck tightly with one hand!
“What?!” The white-bearded old man’s eyes widened in shock as he quickly turned around and looked at Lucas in horror.
The last time in Orange County, he had already fought against Lucas once, and he knew that Lucas was highly skilled. He was almost on the same level as him.
So the white-bearded old man had been keeping his guard up when facing Lucas.
But he never expected that Lucas would suddenly move so quickly and bypass his protection to grab Jace’s neck.
He didn’t know that Lucas didn’t actually exert his full strength when he fought with him last time. The reason why Lucas had spared Jace’s life was that he wanted to find out his mother’s secret.
“What can you do now that Jace’s life is in my hands?” Lucas smirked and looked at the white-bearded old man with derision.
