Their conflict immediately attracted the attention of many people around them.

“Hey, young man, you must have just arrived in DC from elsewhere, right? You probably don’t know the Dempseys’ status yet. I advise you not to argue with him and quickly apologize!”

“Yes, young man, if you offend the Dempseys, you’ll be in trouble! Besides, you’re from another place, and you might even know how you’ll die later! You’d better hurry up and apologize to Mr. Dempsey!”

“These days, dignity is not as important as your own life. You’re a young man who probably doesn’t know what’s important. Anyway, we’re all doing this for your own good. So you’d better quickly apologize to the Dempseys. Otherwise, you’ll be in deep trouble!”

Some of the elderly people here were aware of the status and power of the Dempseys, and they were kind enough to advise Lucas to quickly apologize to Shane and let the matter blow over.

Listening to how much the people around him feared or sucked up to the Dempseys, Shane became even more smug.

He stood in front of Lucas with a smirk and his head held high, pointing his nostrils at Lucas. “Kid, did you hear that? The Dempseys aren’t people just any hillbilly can provoke!

“On account that you’re from elsewhere and don’t know who I am, I can give you a chance.

“As long as you immediately kneel down, apologize to me, and call me your grandpa, I will consider letting you off the hook. Otherwise, you can just wait to die! Hahaha!” Shane laughed arrogantly.

It was clearly Shane’s fault, and Lucas had only dodged when he was about to be hit. Yet he was being forced to kneel and call Shane his grandfather. It was too much!

Many people around looked at Lucas with sympathy in their eyes.

But he was facing a scion of the Dempsey family. Even if they felt unjust for Lucas, no one dared to go forward and speak up for him.

They would be in dire straits if Shane vented his anger on them!

Lucas’s face darkened.

He came to DC this time to solve the issue of Maddy marrying the Dempseys. Although the Smiths were the main culprit behind this matter, the Dempseys were also involved. Lucas would definitely confront the Dempseys.

Now, he had yet to look for trouble with the Dempseys, but a young scion of the Dempseys actually provoked him and even dared to make him kneel down, beg for forgiveness, and call him his grandfather.

Hmph, this is hilarious! Lucas smirked with a trace of faint sarcasm.

“Young man, take my advice. Don’t be impetuous! Kneeling down and apologizing isn’t going to cost you a piece of your flesh. It’s better than losing your life!”

“Yes, young man, you’re still so young, and you’ve just arrived in DC. You don’t know how things are around here, so you’d better quickly apologize! Consider it a lesson learned! DC is full of wealthy scions. You have to pay more attention in the future!”

“You’d better apologize and leave. Otherwise, the consequences will be even more serious! This is the advice from someone who has been in the same situation as you. Young man, you must take our advice!”

Although the people around didn’t dare to plead and speak up for Lucas, they still had good intentions and didn’t want to see a young man die here because of this matter. They all persuaded Lucas.

Although Lucas thanked them for their good intentions, he would never kneel down, apologize to Shane, and call him his grandfather!

Seeing Lucas standing still with a calm look and showing no intention of kneeling down and apologizing to him, Shane felt that he was being belittled and flew into a rage.

“Punk, I told you to kneel down and apologize to me. Are you f*cking deaf? I can still spare your life while I’m still in a good mood. But if you make me angry, it won’t be just a simple matter of kneeling down and apologizing! Do you hear me?!” Shane yelled maniacally.

Who was he? He was a direct descendant of the Dempseys and the most beloved grandson of the Dempseys’ helmsman. He usually got things his way, and he had the power to command people to do whatever he wanted. Any defiance was an open provocation to his pride!

Facing the obnoxious and arrogant junior of the Dempseys, Lucas revealed a cold smile.

“It’s obviously your own problem, but you’re taking it out on someone unrelated and forcing me to kneel down, apologize to you, and call you my grandfather. How mighty!

“The Dempseys in DC seem to be no better than that! Are all the children and grandchildren raised by your family a bunch of uncultured and mannerless imbeciles?” Lucas questioned sarcastically.

He didn’t give the Dempseys any respect, and what he said immediately made the surrounding people shocked.

This young man from out of town actually had the audacity to reprimand the Dempseys and say that they lacked proper upbringing!

He was incredibly audacious!

“Damn it! What did you say? Say it again!” Shane was furious, and he held his head high like an enraged rooster.

In his more than 20 years of life, except for the people of the eight great families in DC, who would dare to say that about his family?

Is this son of a bitch sick of living?!

Lucas smirked. “Didn’t you hear me clearly? Do you want me to say it again? I asked if your family raised a bunch of uneducated and mannerless imbeciles like you.”

Lucas really did repeat himself and said that the Dempseys lacked proper upbringing.

“Ahhhhh! Scoundrel! Bastard! I’ll kill you!”

Shane was so furious that he drew out a dagger at his waist and charged at Lucas.

The shiny silver dagger cut a blinding arc of light under the sun.

“Ah! Watch out!”

“It’s actually a dagger!”

“Quick, get out of the way! Watch out!”

Several screams filled the air. None of the onlookers expected Shane would suddenly take out a dagger and try to commit murder in public.

But before Shane’s dagger could stab Lucas, a leg suddenly flew over from the side and fiercely kicked Shane out of the way!

“Ah!”

Clang! 

Shane screamed miserably as he flew away, and the dagger in his hand naturally landed on the ground.

Bang!

Shane was directly kicked a full ten meters away, and he spat out a mouthful of blood when he crashed on the ground.

“Lucas, I’m here to pick you up.” Jordan stood in front of Lucas respectfully with a calm expression, as if he wasn’t the one who kicked Shane at all.
