Chapter 891: Play With Him

Seeing the confusion in Alexis’s eyes, which were like a little animal’s, and the obvious handprint on her neck, Lucas felt guilty and apologetic.

If it wasn’t because of him, Alexis wouldn’t have been implicated and almost killed.

“Yes, you’re still alive. Of course, you’re still alive,” Lucas said gently.

After hearing Lucas’s answer, Alexis blinked again and then looked at the familiar surroundings around her before finally feeling that she really wasn’t dead.

“Great! Lucas, I’m still alive! I’m not dead! I’m not dead!” Alexis was extremely excited. She leaped into Lucas’s arms and burst into tears.

The fear of being strangled and the horror of being on the brink of death still made Alexis feel overwhelmed with lingering fears. She cried out loud, seemingly venting all her fear, regret, and indignation!

Lucas’s body immediately stiffened when the soft and tender Alexis leaped into his arms.

Apart from Cheyenne, Lucas had never been so close to other women. It made him feel extremely uneasy.

But when he thought that he had always treated Alexis like a sister, and she had just been through a near-death experience that made her feel sorrow followed by joy, Lucas decided not to push her away and remained still in place.

A long time later, Alexis’s crying gradually became softer, and she suddenly realized the position she and Lucas were in. Her face flushed red, and she quickly left Lucas’s arms.

At this moment, she finally realized that she was sitting on the ground paved with green stones. Lucas was holding her shoulders, and the bastard who had kidnapped her had vanished.

“Where’s that crook?” Alexis asked curiously while looking around.

“I’ve already driven him away,” Lucas said calmly.

In fact, Lucas had just snapped Bones of Steel’s neck. But in order to avoid causing unnecessary panic, Lucas immediately asked Jordan to drag his corpse away and dispose of it.

During this time, Alexis had fainted momentarily because Bones of Steel had strangled her. Although it wasn’t for long, the ten minutes or so were enough for him to handle many matters.

“Right, by the way, Lucas, I seem to have heard you say that crook was sent by the Huttons? Why are the Huttons after you? Is it because you hit Richard Morris’s nephew at the Stardust Corporation headquarters today?

“The Huttons are one of the eight most powerful families in DC, and they’re too powerful. They’re countless times stronger than the Coles. Lucas, you’ll definitely be at a disadvantage if you go against them!

“You should quickly leave DC! The farther, the better! Once you leave, they won’t be able to find you.”

Alexis suddenly recalled those matters, and her face, which had just gotten some color back, was covered in worry again.

She thought that this assassination was due to Lucas offending Brent at the Stardust Corporation headquarters this morning.

Lucas didn’t tell her about the various events that happened later, nor did he tell her the real reason the Huttons wanted to assassinate him. After all, the Huttons were targeting Lucas because there was a great feud between the two.

Besides, Lucas didn’t want to get Alexis implicated. He didn’t want her to almost lose her life like just now.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of these things, and I’ll return to Orange County when I’m done here.” Lucas smiled and helped Alexis up from the ground. “You should go back too. If your neck still hurts, rest in your dormitory for a few days.”

After speaking with Alexis, Lucas watched her enter the university campus before turning around to leave.

Not far away, a black Land Rover drove over silently and stopped beside Lucas.

The person who drove over to pick Lucas up was naturally Jordan.

After Lucas got inside the car, Jordan started the engine and drove away. “Lucas, the man who tried to assassinate you is Bones of Steel, Jace Hutton’s bodyguard.

“But instead of saying that he’s a bodyguard, he’s more like a slave that Jace Hutton raised. Who knows how, but anyway, he’s willing to give it his all for Jace Hutton, and he must have done a lot of dirty work for him.

“According to the information I’ve found, Bones of Steel isn’t Jace’s only henchman. There are also some other people. The Huttons are one of the eight top families after all, so they must have some dubious methods!”

Jordan told Lucas all the information from his investigation, especially about the other henchmen who would die for Jace. He attached great importance to this matter.

Lucas’s expression became solemn when he heard this information.

In order to achieve their goals, these henchmen wouldn’t even be afraid of death threats. So they would often resort to crazy actions, which was quite troublesome.

The henchmen working for Jace naturally weren’t trained by Jace himself. Like Jordan said, it was likely that the Huttons trained them.

Moreover, given the huge loss that Jace had suffered today and the fact that he had failed to assassinate Lucas but instead ended up losing one of his capable subordinates, Jace would definitely be even more furious and be unwilling to take it lying down.

“Seems like my half-brother isn’t planning to let me off,” Lucas said with a faint smile.

“Hmph, he probably thinks you came back to DC this time to snatch stuff from him. That’s why he’s so hostile to you and can’t wait to get rid of you.” Jordan sneered.

He had always disliked these wealthy playboys who acted all arrogant just because of their family’s power, especially Jace. Since Lucas returned to Orange County, he had been getting up to all sorts of little tricks and had even tried to kill Lucas in Orange County. He was like a fly pestering them. It was extremely annoying.

Lucas smiled. “Hah, he’s just afraid that I’ll come back and compete with him for the position of the Huttons’ successor. Unfortunately, I’ve never taken him seriously. But seeing how afraid he is of me snatching his position, I don’t mind playing with him.”

“Lucas, are you planning to take over the position of the Hutton’s helmsman?” Jordan immediately asked with interest.

In his mind, it didn’t make any difference whether Lucas succeeded the helmsman position or not. But if he could see Jace’s frustrated and furious appearance, it would be amusing.

Lucas shook his head without answering Jordan directly. Instead, he said, “Drive to World Entertainment City.”
