Chapter 1134: 1132 I Don't Want to Sell It

1132 I Don’t Want to Sell It

After hearing the news about Gemma, Lucas finally felt relieved.

The reason he had come to Club Illuma alone to settle scores with Ashton was to take revenge for Gemma.

But since she was safe and sound now, and she had been hospitalized mainly because of a heart attack, he felt that there was no need to kill Ashton anymore.

Of course, if something untoward had really happened to Gemma, Lucas would have never let Ashton and the Hills off!

After ending the call, Lucas glanced at Ashton lightly and said, “Do you still want to fight? If not, get your subordinates to change my chips into money immediately. I have other things to do, and I don’t have time to waste all day here with you.”

These words immediately made Ashton, who had just calmed down, fly into a rage again.

Glaring daggers at Lucas, he said through gritted teeth, “You must apologize for knocking me out yesterday! You must also give me the land in the eastern suburbs of DC. Then we can clear our enmity. How does that sound?”

Lucas raised his brows. “Why are you so obsessed with that land?”

After thinking about it, Ashton said, “My family has been eying that land for a long time, and we planned to get it at the auction that day. But unfortunately, something cropped up for me, and I couldn’t make it, so I missed the auction. In any case, that land is very important to the Hills!

“I won’t take your land for free. As I’ve said before, I’m willing to pay more and give you 1.7 billion dollars for it. You won’t suffer a loss if you sell it to me!

“Besides, the Hills are a royal family branch, and we have a stronger foundation than the eight top families of DC. If you’re willing to sell me that land, not only can we bury the hatchet, but we can even become friends.

“It should be more beneficial for you to befriend a royal family branch than form a feud, right?”

Ashton’s words were clear enough.

Lucas finally learned that the Hills had long set their sights on that land. But due to a combination of factors, they failed to participate in the auction. As a result, Lucas managed to buy it at a high price of 1.3 billion dollars.

This explained why Lucas saw Ashton and his men on the land the day after he won the auction. Ashton must have felt extremely indignant then.

Although Ashton’s offer seemed tempting, Lucas had a great use for this land too.

If it wasn’t for the construction of Stardust City and the fact that Professor Crawford had already designed the preliminary drawings, Lucas might have really chosen to sell it and make a profit of 400 million dollars.

But then again, if not for the sake of building the Stardust City, Lucas wouldn’t have gone to the land auction and bought this land.

“I’m sorry, but I need that land too. I can’t sell it to you,” Lucas rejected again.

Ashton was so furious that he was about to lose his top. He clenched his fists tightly and barely controlled his anger.

Ashton gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll add another 500 million dollars! Let me have that land! That’s the highest I can offer!”

His family’s budget for him was limited, and the price he was offering now already required him to pay extra out of his own pocket.

Lucas knew that Ashton was being very sincere by offering this price.

After all, the starting price of the land had only been 430 million dollars, and according to the general market value of it, it should have cost around a billion dollars, which was how much Alexander had offered.

Now that Ashton was offering 2.2 billion dollars, it was enough to prove that he really wanted this land.

But no matter how much Ashton wanted it, it was pointless because the land mattered greatly to Lucas too, and he wouldn’t sell it to anyone else.

“I’m sorry, but even if you offer three billion or even thirty billion dollars, I won’t sell it.”

Lucas and Aston weren’t friends to begin with, and Lucas wasn’t short of money either. So he wouldn’t sell the land he had already acquired and started working on just for a small profit.

The massive commercial increase that the construction of Stardust City would bring to the land alone would already be at least 15 billion dollars.

This was merely the increase in land price and didn’t include the enormous revenue that Stardust City could bring once construction was completed.

Regardless from which perspective, Lucas would never sell this land.

Lucas once again refused, making Ashton furious.

“Lucas Gary, don’t go too far. I’m already being the kindest I can by offering that price. Don’t make me do this the hard way!”

Ashton continued resentfully, “If you still continue to try your luck with me, you should consider if you have what it takes!”

As he finished speaking, the seven experts behind him stepped forward in unison and surrounded Lucas, seemingly ready to fight as soon as Ashton issued the order.

After glancing at the people around him indifferently, Lucas looked at Ashton again and raised his brows. “Do you really think your men can do anything to me?”

Lucas’s nonchalance and relaxed attitude immediately made Ashton tense up.

Just last night, Ashton had the protection of the family’s two top-tier powerhouses and a group of expert guards in the fighting hall of Club Illuma.

Yet Lucas could easily break through their protection and strangle Ashton. He even dared to knock him out in front of everyone.

Although Ashton had brought more powerhouses with him this time, and he was certain that he would definitely be able to defeat Lucas even under the siege of these experts, upon seeing Lucas’s reaction, Ashton became nervous. Can these experts really defeat this punk?

Lucas rose from his seat and said with a smile, “Ashton Hills, I can spare your life once today on account that your people didn’t kill Professor Crawford.

“Now, like I said earlier, exchange these chips and compensate me for the mental trauma you’ve caused me, and I’ll leave.

“Otherwise, you’ll have to pay a much greater price.”
