Chapter 617: Confrontation in the Alley

Lucas squeezed Cheyenne’s hand comfortingly and said softly, “Honey, I suddenly have something to handle now. Go to the parking lot and wait for me inside the car.”

Cheyenne’s heart tensed up. She grabbed Lucas’s arm worriedly. “Is it something… troublesome? Will there be any danger?”

After getting to know Lucas during this period of time, she certainly knew that certain things would happen around Lucas from time to time, which made her feel extremely worried.

“It’s okay. It’s just a trivial matter that I’ll resolve soon. Wait for me in the car. I’ll be back in a moment.”

Seeing the look of reassurance in Lucas’s eyes, Cheyenne nodded, took Lucas’s car key, and left.

She knew that she couldn’t help Lucas in many aspects, so the only thing she could do now was to trust him and not create any trouble for him.

Lucas watched Cheyenne walk far before turning around and walking toward an ally nearby.

There were two rows of buildings along the alley, which were part of a demolition area. The residents staying here had moved away a long time ago. Basically, it was a remote place where very few came and went.

However…

Lucas walked to the entrance of the alley and shouted expressionlessly, “Get your ass out here!”

A figure suddenly appeared in the alley, which was originally empty and void of any people.

He initially had an extremely low presence, like an inconspicuous antique going unnoticed in this dilapidated alley. Even if someone walked past him, they probably wouldn’t be able to notice his presence.

But Lucas’s senses were so keen that he could immediately lock onto the direction from which the killing intent was spreading toward him. He then saw the seemingly inconspicuous man in gray in front of him.

This person in gray was none other than Eli, who followed Wendy.

Eli narrowed his eyes and sized up Lucas before suddenly saying, “Sharp senses like yours are really rare. You’re young, but you’re really something! No wonder you dared to barge into the Kingston residence on your own and deterred them from taking revenge on you.”

There were a few traces of appreciation on his face.

Lucas frowned. “Are you here for the Kingstons?”

Eli shook his head and sneered. “No, the Kingstons can’t order me around.”

His words contained a trace of arrogance, seemingly not taking the Kingstons seriously at all.

This made Lucas raise his brows.

The Kingstons were a top family and an unreachable existence in the eyes of most people.

But the disdainful tone in the voice of the man in front of him when he talked about the Kingstons was evidence that his status was far higher than the Kingstons’.

Although the man in gray had restrained his aura to the point where most people would feel that he was just an ordinary person with such a low presence that he was almost inconspicuous, in the eyes of experts like Lucas, his concealment skills were mediocre. But his strength could be discerned from his breathing, footsteps, speech, walking posture, and other subtle aspects.

If Lucas had to describe it, the man in gray in front of him did have an overbearing aura. At the very least, he was much stronger than Scarface, the Kingstons’ previous top expert.

This just meant that the man in gray was either an expert from one of the giants in DC or an expert similar to those of the Peerless Martial Association.

“Oh, so who sent you?” Lucas asked slowly.

“The Smiths from DC!” Eli didn’t hide it and simply revealed his origin. He then grinned and asked, “You should still remember what you did today, right?”

Then he released his aura, immediately turning from a mellow and harmless middle-aged man to a menacing beast.

The dust and fallen leaves in the air seem to be deterred by his aura as they suddenly rippled away. The scene was extremely shocking.

Lucas smiled faintly. But he seemed to have not sensed anything as he said calmly, “Oh, so it’s the Smiths. Roy Smith went back to complain and ask for help so soon! It seems that I was too easy on him. I decided to let him live on account of someone else, but I didn’t expect him to be so eager about dying.”

Lucas’s nonchalance immediately made Eli reveal a trace of surprise.

He initially thought that Lucas probably wasn’t aware that Roy was from one of the eight top families in DC when he beat him up. So he didn’t expect Lucas to remain composed even after revealing his identity and his overbearing aura that could shock most experts beyond resistance.

Eli had been famous for a long time, and he had never been belittled by a young man to such an extent!

He was good at hiding his strength, but this didn’t mean that he was someone who didn’t care for fame and fortune. Instead, it was because he liked seeing others being shocked and horrified when they saw him revealing his strength and turning from an insignificant nobody to a menacing monster.

Now, he had already released all his aura, thinking that he could scare Lucas out of his wits. But the other party didn’t even bother to look up. This was completely ignoring him and denying him.

Anger surged within him, and he said with a cold expression, “Kid, if you obediently make a trip with me to go and beg Mrs. Smith for mercy, maybe you can still save your life. Otherwise, death will be your only outcome!”

“Mrs. Smith? Who is that now?” Lucas asked in bewilderment.

Which woman from the Smith family? Maybe it has something to do with that good-for-nothing Roy? Lucas immediately thought of this.

Eli said arrogantly, “Mrs. Smith is the daughter of the head of the Smith family. Her name is Wendy Smith! Since you’ve thoroughly offended Mrs. Smith, just wait till you go to hell to regret it!”

Lucas frowned. “I offended her? Because I hit Roy Smith?”

Eli sneered. “I’ll let you die with some understanding. Do you still remember Moses and Marc Kingston, who died because of you?

“Moses is Mrs. Smith’s former husband, and Marc is her biological son! Do you know why you deserve to die now?”

The news was completely beyond Lucas’s expectations.

He had never expected that Moses would marry the daughter of the helmsman of the Smith family in DC and that the two of them would give birth to Marc.

If this was true, why didn’t Moses and Marc use the power of the Smiths against him?

Even when Marc was begging for forgiveness and threatening him, he had always used the Kingstons’ power to suppress him without mentioning his mother’s family, the Smiths, at all.

Perhaps, there was something hidden in it.

But the Kingstons had nothing to do with Lucas.

Marc had taken the initiative to provoke Lucas, then had his legs crippled and jumped to his death afterward. Moses had been exposed during his plan for revenge, and after his failed attempt at revenge, he had killed himself. Lucas wouldn’t feel any guilt over their deaths.

He would never go and make amends to Mrs. Smith, who had appeared out of nowhere!

Lucas remained quiet and indifferent.

Eli narrowed his eyes and threatened, “It seems that you’re trying to hold out hope until you face death! In that case, I’ll take you down personally, cripple your legs, and make you go and apologize to Mrs. Smith!”

Then he leaped up high and kicked Lucas’s head hard!
