“Lucas, are you saying that the Smiths are the reason that Maddy is getting married?” Jordan asked in surprise.

Lucas didn’t hide it from Jordan and told him everything about the feud between him and the Smiths.

During the previous martial arts competition, although Lucas had called Jordan back to Orange County, he was only responsible for protecting Cheyenne and Amelia from the Peerless Martial Association.

After everything was over, Jordan immediately returned to DC, so it was his first time learning that so many things had happened between Lucas and the Smiths.

“Seems like the Smiths are courting death!” Jordan gritted his teeth in anger.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lucas suddenly said, “The Smiths are suddenly giving such a great gift. We can’t ignore it. We have to go take a good look at Maddy’s wedding!”

Jordan was shocked. “Lucas, you want to come to DC now?”

As Lucas’s good friend, Jordan naturally knew about Lucas’s matters and his plans.

According to the original plan, Lucas shouldn’t be going to DC at this time.

Lucas naturally didn’t forget the plans he had made before.

When the Huttons kicked Lucas and his mother out of their home 20 years ago, they had even threatened them not to enter DC again.

Thus, Lucas had once said that once he returned to DC, he would destroy the Huttons!

Although the power he held now might not be enough to completely wipe out the Huttons, it still wasn’t an issue for him to teach them a lesson.

Besides, there was now a change in situation, and Lucas couldn’t just stand by and watch Maddy forced to marry someone she didn’t love, ruining hers and Jordan’s happiness.

“I’m going to DC this time, not to fight the Huttons to the death but for Maddy,” Lucas said with determination.

The reason the Smiths were forcing Maddy to marry someone from the Dempseys was definitely that they had found out about Maddy’s relationship with him through some channel. Thus, they wanted to use this method to force Lucas to go to DC.

Strictly speaking, Lucas had actually implicated Maddy.

Besides, Maddy was Lucas’s friend and the person Jordan liked. No matter how he looked at it, there was no way Lucas could watch Maddy fall into a fiery pit.

Although he could also ask Jordan to take Maddy away immediately, the Stones were Maddy’s family after all, and doing so would result in a negative impact. Once Maddy left, the Stones would definitely incur the wrath of the Smiths and the Dempseys, and Maddy definitely didn’t want this.

Thus, even though he knew that this was the Smiths’ plot to force him to go to DC, he still had to go. He wanted to solve these things personally!

“Okay, thank you, Lucas!” Jordan was incredibly grateful, but his words of gratitude turned into this simple sentence. Everything was encapsulated by silence!

…

At ten o’clock the next morning, a large commercial plane from California slowly landed at the DC International Airport.

A tall figure slowly walked out of the airport.

When Lucas stepped onto this land that he hadn’t been on for a long time and smelled the air of DC, his heart was full of mixed emotions.

Back then, at a young age, he basically didn’t have much time to spend away from the Hutton residence. So he actually didn’t have much of an impression of DC.

When the Huttons drove his mother and him out, Lucas finally took a quick look at this massive city.

But the images in his memory were all gray and sad.

Twenty years had passed, and DC had long since become very different from what he remembered.

Standing here, Lucas couldn’t help thinking about his mother and the harm the Huttons had inflicted on them.

Lucas let out a long sigh. Just as he was about to leave, an exclamation of shock suddenly sounded behind him, and a figure rushed toward Lucas.

Given Lucas’s martial arts skills, how could he let anyone touch him?

With a slight movement of his feet, he was already half a meter away from his original position. In his former position was a fashionably dressed young man falling to the ground with his teeth bared.

“Damn it! Why did you hide? If you hadn’t suddenly dodged, I wouldn’t have fallen!”

The young man who fell to the ground was decked out in luxury goods. He probably listened to punk music, and there were lots of jewelry pieces dangling from his clothes. There were also many long chains hanging from his hip-hop-style pants. He suddenly fell probably because he had tripped over the various chains he was wearing.

But instead of feeling that it was his own problem, he cursed at Lucas, blaming him for not standing there to give him a cushion, which caused him to fall to the ground.

Lucas could not help feeling amused as he mocked, “You came from behind and almost hit me. Not only did you not apologize, but you even blamed me for not standing still to cushion you?”

The young man immediately flew into a rage. “Damn it! Do you know who I am? Do you know how valuable I am? I am a Dempsey, and my grandfather is Phil Dempsey!

“What’s wrong with me almost hitting you? What’s wrong with getting you to shield me? It’s your fortune to be able to do it!

“I scolded you, but you actually dared to talk back to me. Do you believe that I’ll make you die in DC right now?” Shane said, eagerly revealing his identity with arrogance all over his face.

He was treating Lucas this way because of how he was dressed. If Lucas was wearing luxurious clothes, Shane definitely wouldn’t be so arrogant. After all, the eight major families still existed in DC.

Although the Dempsey family was very powerful, there was still a significant gap between them and the eight major families. If he acted presumptuous in front of these big shots, he would be dead meat!

But Lucas was a fresh face and wearing ordinary clothes. People from powerful and wealthy families wouldn’t wear such cheap clothes. Thus, he assumed that Lucas was a bumpkin who just arrived in DC, and he naturally wouldn’t let go of the chance to bully him.

Shane was speaking very loudly, as if he was afraid that the surrounding people wouldn’t hear him.

Indeed, since he announced his family name, many people were surprised. After all, the Dempeys were indeed powerful, though inferior to the eight major families in DC.

After Lucas heard Shane reveal his status, a strange look appeared on his face.

The family that Maddy would soon marry also had the last name Dempsey and was a powerful family in DC. Lucas wondered if this young man was a member of the Dempsey family.

What a coincidence!
