1220 Unexpected Person

Seeing Bruce’s appearance, Lucas said with a smile, “Forget it. Since I already know about it, I won’t set it aside. With me here, it’s a fool’s dream for the Hamiltons to think about taking over California!”

California was Lucas’s base camp, where he had lived for more than a decade. Besides, the Hales belonged to Lucas while the Coles and the other families had close ties with him. How could he allow others to dominate here?

Although the Hamiltons were royals and an apex family superior to the eight top families of DC, they still didn’t have the right to be arrogant in front of Lucas.

They needed Lucas’s approval to threaten so many families and take control of California.

After Bruce heard what Lucas said, a trace of excitement appeared in his eyes, but he quickly looked worried.

“Lucas, I sent some people to ask around, and I found out that the Hamiltons are a royal family branch who are more powerful than the eight top families of DC! Going against them will really bring you great trouble…

“I think if the various wealthy families of California join forces to go against the Hamiltons, they won’t be able to wipe all of us out even if they’re displeased.

“But if you stand up for us, I’m afraid the Hamiltons will target you instead. When the time comes, it will cause you a lot of trouble!”

Bruce was being considerate of Lucas.

At the end of the day, the Hales were just a wealthy family that had developed in Orange County. Until today, their influence had yet to expand beyond California. Thus, given his power and horizons, to him, the eight top families of DC were already at the summit of the US and couldn’t be provoked.

And the royal family, which was more terrifying than the eight top families of DC, was an even more formidable existence than the Hales couldn’t imagine.

Bruce knew that Lucas was extremely powerful, so much so that he wasn’t even afraid of the eight top families of DC. But he was still worried that Lucas might get implicated and fall into a crisis.

“Are you worried that I can’t match up to the Hamiltons?” Lucas asked with a smile while looking at Bruce.

Bruce’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, “No, no. Lucas, that’s absolutely not what I meant! I just… I just don’t want you to be implicated by us and end up being targeted by the Hamiltons…”

Although Bruce denied it, what he said implied as much.

He was really worried that Lucas wouldn’t be a match for the Hamiltons.

If Bruce really thought that Lucas wasn’t inferior to the Hamiltons, he definitely wouldn’t be so worried about Lucas.

Lucas didn’t hold it against him.

In the past, he had indeed been too low profile and merely revealed some of his abilities occasionally, causing Bruce to be unaware of how powerful he really was.

But Lucas didn’t want to explain much to him.

He remained sitting and said firmly, “You don’t need to say anymore. Since tonight is the deadline given by the Hamiltons, they will come looking for you later. I’ll just wait here and see how the Hamiltons will take California away from me!”

Although the Hamiltons were a royal family branch, Lucas also had a high status. As the former leader of the Falcon Regiment, he was a big shot whose status was on par with the helmsmen of the royal family branches.

Therefore, even if one of these helmsmen was standing right in front of him, he wouldn’t be scared at all.

Furthermore, given Lucas’s reputation in the Falcon Regiment and his combat power, he was full of confidence facing the royals.

Besides, the person who came from the Hamiltons this time was merely a young man. Lucas wouldn’t take him seriously.

Since Lucas had already made up his mind, Bruce had no choice but to accept his arrangements.

But worry shrouded Bruce’s eyes.

At this moment, the butler of the Hales hurried over and reported, “Mr. Hale, Mr. Edmund Cole and Mr. Ethan Sawyer have arrived together!”

“Oh, is that so? Please bring them in quickly!” Bruce said.

This was the time they had agreed to meet. After all, their families were also facing the threat of the Hamiltons, so they came here to deal with the issue and discuss the matter of joining forces.

Soon, the butler led Edmund and Ethan to the hall.

The two of them were frowning with worried looks at first.

But when they saw Lucas sitting in the hall, both of them looked shocked and surprised.

“Mr. Gray! Did you just return from DC? I didn’t get any news at all. Otherwise, I would have gone to the airport to pick you up!” Ethan walked over to Lucas in surprise and greeted him deferentially.

The Sawyers were originally the richest family in Orange County, and they occupied an important position among the top four families in the county.

Moreover, due to the relationship between the Sawyers and Lucas, they had risen with the tide after Lucas became the overlord of California. They were now among the top five families in California.

He was extremely excited to see Lucas.

Edmund was also pleasantly surprised when he saw Lucas. After all, he admired Lucas greatly and was elated to see him after around a month or so.

But he soon realized that since Lucas was in the reception hall of the Hale residence, he likely already knew about the matter.

So, did Lucas appear here because the Hales had gone to look for him?

When Edmund thought of this, his face turned sullen. “Mr. Hale, what do you mean by this? Didn’t we agree to handle this matter on our own? Why did you invite Mr. Gray to come here? Do you want to drag Mr. Gray into this matter?”

Bruce was speechless after being questioned.

He didn’t invite Lucas over to drag him into this matter… He didn’t even invite him over…

Luca smiled. “Edmund, you’re mistaken. Bruce didn’t deliberately say anything to me. I just happened to return to Orange County today, so I came here to take a look. That’s how I happened to know about it.”

Edmund’s expression finally became mellower. “Ah, we didn’t plan to trouble you over this, Mr. Gray. Sorry to have let you find out about it.”

Edmund was the only one among them who had guessed Lucas’s true identity and knew that he was the former formidable leader of the Falcon Regiment.

Although Edmund had absolute faith in Lucas’s abilities and knew that Lucas was on the same level as the helmsman of the Hamiltons, he wasn’t willing to let Lucas get involved and cause him trouble.

But at this point, Lucas already knew about this matter, so there was nothing else Edmund could say.

After everyone sat down and exchanged some pleasantries, the butler came running over again.

“Mr. Hale, Mr. Joel Gillen, the helmsman of the top family in Nevada, is here with his men!

“Mr. Anthony Cross, the helmsman of the top family in Arizona, and his men are here too!”

“What are the helmsmen of the top families in Nevada and Arizona doing here?”

Edmund, Bruce, and Ethan frowned.
