Chapter 210: Try Shooting

Andrew pondered for a moment and soon recalled what Aston had told him before. He sneered. “Are you referring to the Hales in Orange County?”

Lucas smiled and nodded. “Yes.”

Andrew snorted coldly. “Are you trying to tell me that the Hales pointed their pistols at you and ended up having to bear the consequence of being captured by the military and facing annihilation overnight? Let me tell you. If you want to threaten me with this matter, you’ve made the wrong plan!

“I know that what happened to the Hales that day was just a coincidence! You are just a good-for-nothing the Huttons disowned. I won’t fall for you trying to throw your weight around and pretending to be powerful in front of me! I don’t believe that you can do anything to me once I order my men to shoot you!”

In Andrew’s heart, he had always refused to believe that Lucas had that much power and authority to command the military. So even after Aston told him all those things that happened to the Hales, he still felt that it was just a coincidence that Lucas had gotten such a huge advantage and that he was just using the power of the military to make everyone think that he was mighty.

If Aston was conscious now, he would have rushed to grab Andrew’s neck and shake him violently to tell him how ridiculously wrong his grandfather really was.

Lucas burst into laughter and shook his head. “It seems that you’re more foolish than I imagined.”

“Scoundrel!” Andrew had always been an arrogant person. And now that he was being scolded by a junior, he immediately flew into a rage and barked, “Lucas Gray, I’m going to kill you!”

With his furious roar, everyone pointed their guns at Lucas.

There were around 30 pistols, all of which were aiming at Lucas. It was truly a shocking scene.

If Andrew issued the order, an intense wave of bullets would definitely put dozens of holes in Lucas!

Stanley was horrified. He was already feeling extremely guilty toward the Falcon Regiment, so how could he watch the captain of the Falcon Regiment get shot to death in front of him?

“All of you, stop!” Without any hesitation, Stanley tapped his toes on the ground and launched himself upward, immediately flying past the crowd at the door and blocking in front of Lucas. He hollered furiously, “Don’t touch him!”

Andrew watched Stanley’s actions in astonishment and froze for a moment before laughing out loud. “Stanley Ray, it turns out you’re trying to protect Lucas Gray. In that case, I’ve found your Achilles’ heel! Hey, if you don’t want Lucas Gray to die, stay with the Brookes and work for us. I can guarantee that I will spare his life! Otherwise, I’ll order them to shoot you both!”

Looking at Andrew’s smug smile, Stanley couldn’t help feeling regret.

He regretted being too impulsive just now!

In fact, as the former captain of the Falcon Regiment’s assault team, who had carried out countless assassination missions, Stanley was actually well aware of the logic of catching the ringleader before catching his underlings.

If he hadn’t rushed over to protect Lucas just now and instead gone to hold Andrew hostage and force him to get everyone to drop their guns and let Lucas off, Lucas might have been safe now instead of still being threatened.

Lucas had the same thought in mind. But he understood that Stanley did this simply because he was scared of chaos breaking out.

Stanley undoubtedly still had deep feelings for the Falcon Regiment. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have lost his composure and dashed over to protect him, a stranger he had never met.

In fact, not long ago, Jordan had already investigated Stanley and found clearly all the information about him. In the past ten years, he didn’t return to the Falcon Regiment because of a hidden reason.

This was why Lucas wanted to come here and look at him with his own eyes.

At this moment, Stanley was conflicted and full of misery in the face of those two options.

He didn’t want Lucas to die, but the price of saving Lucas was that he had to stay with the Brookes and continue helping them commit all sorts of dirty deeds. He didn’t want to choose either of those two options.

Stanley’s eyes were red and bloodshot. Gritting his teeth hard, he turned around and said softly to Lucas behind him, “I will attack them later to distract them. You guys hurry up and leave while you still have the chance. If necessary, shield yourselves with my corpse. You must escape safely!”

There were numerous pistols in front of him, and even if he was quick, it would be hard for him to dodge. So he had to help Lucas and Jordan to escape safely.

Hearing his words, Lucas suddenly smiled. “Don’t worry. We won’t die. No one in this world can kill me so far.”

Lucas sounded domineering and condescending. Although his words were arrogant, Stanley subconsciously trusted him, as he felt that everything Lucas said had to be true!

“Hahaha, how arrogant!” Andrew laughed maniacally as if he had heard some joke. The Brookes hiding behind were all staring at Lucas with contempt and derision.

“I’d like to see how you can stay alive under the power of these twenty-eight pistols of mine!” Andrew glowered at Lucas with resentment.

But Lucas merely smiled and then did something that no one expected.

He walked straight toward the pine tree that was as tall as a human at the door and casually touched a branch before shaking his head and sighing. “This welcoming pine has grown well. Unfortunately, the owner has to be replaced.”

Andrew watched Lucas’s actions in puzzlement, but after hearing this, he immediately flew into a rage.

“Scoundrel! Before thinking of replacing the Brookes, you should consider if you are qualified! Don’t think that I don’t dare to do anything to you just because you’re one of the Huttons!

“Hmph, I’ve already had my people investigate clearly. You’re just a bastard who got driven out by the Huttons when you were a child. Many of the Huttons are looking forward to your death, and the Huttons have even screwed your Stardust Corporation over. If I kill you, maybe they’ll even thank me!”

With an icy cold glint in his eyes, Lucas said coldly, “Is that so? You can try your luck.”

“Don’t you think I won’t dare!” Andrew’s cheeks twitched, and he soon waved his hand violently. “Shoot!”

After this command, time seemed to slow down at this moment.

If the scene occurred in slow motion, everyone would be preparing to pull their triggers. The sounds of bullets being loaded in muzzles and the sounds of the internal machinery sliding would also ring out.

Stanley began to seem horrified as he slowly leaped toward Lucas.

Andrew gradually smiled smugly.

A fallen leaf slowly floated down in the air.

…

An extremely dangerous situation would happen in the next moment.

But Lucas had already vanished on the spot!
