Chapter 1133: 1131 Settling Scores

1131 Settling Scores

Lucas simply ignored Ashton.

If he was afraid of facing the Hills’ retaliation, he wouldn’t have come to Club Illuma alone and played poker with them.

No matter how many experts Ashton had arranged and what kind of net he had laid to capture Lucas, they were all useless.

Lucas glanced at the big pile of golden chips on the table and said to the attendant next to him, “There are a total of 2.886 billion dollars worth of chips here. Exchange them and transfer the money to my card.”

The attendant froze in shock, not daring to answer.

The people who came with Ashton burst into laughter.

Ashton looked at Lucas mockingly, “Lucas Gray, surely you don’t think you can take these chips away with you, do you?”

Lucas asked rhetorically, “I won this money rightfully. Why can’t I take it away?”

Ashton sneered. “Are you really stupid, or are you just pretending to be stupid? We’re in Club Illuma right now, and these chips all belong to Club Illuma. It’s up to me if you can convert them into money or not. Do you get it?”

After pausing for a moment, he continued, “But if you really want it, I can give it to you. But before that, we have some scores to settle clearly, don’t we?

“I haven’t asked you to compensate me for knocking me out in the fighting hall yesterday!”

Hearing this, Lucas smirked. “Of course we have to settle our scores clearly!

“You’ve reminded me of something. You tried to harm me twice, causing me a lot of mental trauma. So you should also be compensating me!

“I won’t ask you for much. The chips on the table are worth about 2.9 billion dollars. Let’s round it up to 3 billion dollars as compensation for my mental trauma. That should be reasonable, right?”

Hearing this, Ashton laughed out loud. “Lucas Gray, you’re already dead, yet you still dare to ask me to compensate for your mental damage? And you even want an extra hundred million? Haha, it seems like you know you’re in trouble, so you’re making a last-ditch effort to talk tough before you die.”

Lucas looked at Ashton fearlessly and said slowly, “Think carefully before you speak. I only want a hundred million for my mental damage. I’m already letting you off easy. If you offend me again, then the compensation I’ll want will be much higher.”

Looking at the extremely calm and nonchalant Lucas, who didn’t seem to take Ashton and the Hills seriously at all, Ashton was boiling with fury. But he quickly calmed down after realizing that something was amiss.

Strictly speaking, including today, he had only met Lucas thrice.

The first time they had met was at the land in the eastern suburbs of DC, where Lucas had not only beaten up a few of his bodyguards but also domineeringly refused to let him buy the land.

The second time was last night in the fighting hall in Club Illuma, where Lucas had killed someone from the Steeles and even knocked Ashton out, causing him to be humiliated.

Today was the third time.

He had clearly already arranged for many of the Hills’ experts to stay on guard and even brought a group of experts with him to protect him. But he still somehow felt a sense of fear and uneasiness after seeing Lucas’s calm eyes.

From the first day he had seen Lucas, Ashton had felt scrupulous of him, so he had immediately sent people to investigate Lucas.

But after investigating for so long, Ashton never found out where or how Lucas had obtained such a powerful background and financial resources, as well as his impeccable martial arts skills that allowed him to defeat his bodyguards easily.

After asking around, he only managed to find out that Lucas was an abandoned son who had been kicked out by the Huttons at the age of eight and later ended up stranded in Orange County. He then became the live-in son-in-law of a third-rate family and faced the mockery and disdain of countless people.

But later, Lucas disappeared for six years before returning to Orange County a completely changed man.

No one could find out what Lucas underwent during these six years.

This was where the problem lay. Even the Hills, a royal family branch, couldn’t find out what Lucas had done in these six years, which was enough to prove that he had an extraordinary background.

Moreover, when Lucas bought the land in the eastern suburbs of DC, he had spent 1.2 billion dollars without even batting an eyelid.

In Club Illuma, Lucas had swiped his card for hundreds of millions of dollars in cash casually. If he hadn’t ordered his people to stop Lucas, he might have exchanged another 1.5 billion dollars.

Since he could easily take out nearly 2 billion dollars to gamble, he definitely had an extraordinary amount of wealth.

Ashton dared to say that even he, the future heir of the Hills, would have some difficulty in taking out so much cash at once.

Surely Lucas Gray’s background isn’t as extraordinary as mine, right?

Ashton narrowed his eyes. “Lucas Gray, who exactly are you?”

Lucas laughed noncommittally. “I’m sure you’ve already sent someone to investigate my identity. You should be well aware that I’m just an outcast of the Huttons, right?”

Ashton said in a deep voice, “Heh, stop trying to fool me with such rhetoric! How can someone who can casually spend almost two billion dollars to gamble be just a mere outcast of the Huttons? I dare to say that even the head of the Huttons wouldn’t be able to come up with so much cash at once!

“What is the identity you’re hiding?”

Lucas shrugged his shoulders and smiled. “Since you don’t believe it, you can continue investigating me. Anyway, the Hills are good at investigating people, right?”

Lucas’s words made Ashton extremely disgruntled.

If he could send people to investigate and find out Lucas’s true identity, he wouldn’t need to ask Lucas!

Suddenly, Lucas’s phone rang.

It was a call from Flynn.

Lucas immediately realized that there was probably an update on Gemma’s condition, so he answered the call right away.

Flynn’s excited and joyful voice sounded. “Mr. Gray, Professor Crawford is out of the emergency room. Dr. Stone told me that she wasn’t seriously wounded from being pushed but because she had a heart attack from the severe shock. After Dr. Stone rescued her, her life is already out of danger. She just needs to recuperate in the hospital for some time, and she’ll be fine!”
