Seeing the dumbfounded look on Roman’s face, Lucas smiled without saying anything and made another call.

“Mrs. Howard, there’s something that I need your help with,” Lucas said directly.

The Mrs. Howard he was talking to was Cheyenne’s biological mother, Florence.

Previously in Orange County, Florence had already come to an agreement with Lucas that they would cooperate in some aspects.

Since it was cooperation, there was naturally communication between the two sides.

Now that Lucas intended to attack the Hutton and display the power he possessed in DC, he naturally wouldn’t forget about the Howards.

“What do you need me to do?” Florence asked straightforwardly without saying any nonsense.

“I need you to create a little trouble for the Huttons and force them to do something for me. Regarding the specific time and scale, I’ll contact you about it another time. Okay?” Lucas asked.

“Sure, no problem.” Florence didn’t ask Lucas why he wanted to do it and agreed immediately.

After hanging up, Lucas looked at Roman and smiled. “Do you still need me to prove my abilities and network now?”

Only then did Roman snap out of his shock and look at Lucas like he was looking at a monster.

The calls Lucas made left him astonished.

One was the head of the Smiths, one of the eight most powerful families in DC. He actually directly submitted to Lucas’s command!

The other was to Florence Howard, who was from one of the top eight families in DC. Although Roman still didn’t know who Florence was, he could tell that she held great power in the Howard family by how she agreed to Lucas’s request without hesitation.

Two of the eight top families in DC had already become Lucas’s connections. It was shocking.

At this moment, Roman couldn’t help showing a bitter smile. “Punk, when did you have such great energy? Since you’ve already shown me your power, wouldn’t it be too ignorant of me if I still don’t agree?”

A hint of excitement appeared on his face.

Now that Lucas already had such a massive amount of power and Roman was going to help him, they were indeed powerful enough to make an impact on the position of the Huttons’ successor.

“Haha!” Lucas laughed out loud and stretched out his hand. “In that case, we’ve reached an intent to cooperate! I’m looking forward to seeing the day you become the head of the Huttons!”

“Haha, thank you for your blessings. I hope we have a happy cooperation!” Roman extended his hand and gave Lucas a tight handshake.

The pair of cousins, who hadn’t seen each other for many years, glanced at each other and revealed satisfied smiles.

…

After Lucas left, Roman stayed alone in his office.

Although Lucas didn’t tell him that he needed to do something, Roman had been preparing for such a long time, so he naturally wouldn’t sit back and do nothing.

Soon, a man in black tights silently arrived in Roman’s office like an agile black cat.

Roman opened his eyes and said with a cold face, “You’ve been following me for a long time, and now it’s time for you to do something. Go pick out a few of your best subordinates and help me to kill two people!”

The man in black asked calmly, “Who?”

Roman gritted his teeth, “Enzo Hutton and Joanna Moore!”

“Yes!” the man in black immediately acknowledged without a moment of hesitation and left.

Roman stood alone in the empty office and suddenly grinned before chuckling coldly, his voice full of hatred.

He would never forget Enzo Hutton and Joanna Moore.

Just 21 years ago, Roman was only nine then.

It was the year he and his mother were driven out of the Huttons.

They were both terrified and had nowhere to go, so they could only stay in a small, dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city.

That night, an assassin suddenly arrived at their place to kill them.

At the time, his feeble and thin mother used her body to stop the killer with all her might and desperately told him to run as far as he could.

Later, he escaped successfully, but his mother died in that dilapidated old house.

Afterward, Roman found out that Joanna Moore had sent this assassin to kill them that night.

Joanna was the legitimate wife of Roman’s biological father.

Enzo was their son.

On that night, Roman and his mother had been driven out of the Huttons at the strong request of Joanna, but she was still uneasy about them. She was afraid that Roman would return to the Huttons one day and compete with her son for the inheritance rights. So she didn’t stop at that and even wanted to kill Roman to eliminate the root of the problem.

But Roman’s mother used her own life to save his life.

Finally, Roman’s father, Collin, appeared to stop Joanna’s continued pursuit, thus suppressing the matter.

Later, perhaps because of the guilt within him, Collin gave Roman an entertainment club as a means of livelihood in order to make it up to him. He then gradually developed it into the World Entertainment City.

Over the years, Roman had been secretly accumulating power in hopes that he could kill Joanna and Enzo to avenge his mother one day.

Although Roman had already gathered many experts, he had been holding back out of fear that the Huttons would find out after he killed Joanna and Enzo. He didn’t have enough power to deal with the entire Hutton family.

But things were different now.

With Lucas’s help, he no longer had to be afraid of the Huttons!

In addition, there were the two phone calls Lucas made to get help from the Smiths and the Howards. With these two families attacking the Huttons, it would definitely result in great trouble for them.

At that time, the Huttons would be too busy dealing with these troublesome matters and wouldn’t have the time to investigate the deaths of Joanna and Enzo.

Once these two people were dead, his chances of competing to be the successor of the Huttons would increase greatly.

Now was the best time and opportunity!
