The Son-in-law of the God of War
Chapter 1131 - 1132

The 1131 Settling Score

Lucas simply ignored Ashton.

If he was afraid of facing Hills retaliation, he would not have come to the Illuma Club alone and played poker with them.

No matter how many experts Ashton had set up and what kind of net he had set up to catch Lucas, everything was useless.

Lucas glanced at the huge pile of gold chips on the table and said to the attendant next to him, “There are a total of chips worth 2.886 billion dollars here. Exchange and transfer the money to my card.”

The officer froze in shock, not daring to answer.

The people who came with Ashton laughed out loud.

Ashton looked at Lucas mockingly, “Lucas Gray, surely you don't think you can bring these chips, do you?”

Lucas asks rhetorically, “I won this money right. Why can't I take it?”

Ashton sneered. “Are you really stupid, or are you just pretending to be stupid? We are at the Illuma Club now, and these chips all belong to the Illuma Club. It is up to me whether you can turn it into money or not. Do you understand?”

After pausing for a moment, he continued, “But if you really want it, I can give it to you. But before that, we have some scores to clear up, right?

“I have not asked you to compensate me for dropping me in the battle hall yesterday!”

Hearing that, Lucas grinned. “Of course we have to clear our score!

“You have reminded me of something. You tried to hurt me twice, causing me a lot of mental trauma. So, you should also compensate me!

“I won't ask much from you. The chips on the table are worth about 2.9 billion dollars. Let's round it up to 3 billion dollars as compensation for my mental trauma. That should make sense, right?

Hearing this, Ashton burst into laughter. “Lucas Gray, you are dead, yet you still dare to ask me to compensate for your mental damage? And you even want an extra hundred million? Haha, it seems like you know you are in trouble, so you made a last attempt to speak firmly before you die.”

Lucas looked at Ashton fearlessly and said slowly, “Think carefully before speaking. I only want a hundred million for my mental damage. I let you off easily. If you offend me again, then the compensation I want will be much higher.”

Looking at the extremely calm and indifferent Lucas, who seemed to not take Ashton and the Hills seriously at all, Ashton boiled in anger. But he quickly calmed down after realizing that something was wrong.

Strictly speaking, including today, he has only met Lucas three times.

The first time they met was on the ground in the eastern suburbs of DC, where Lucas not only beat up some of his guards but also dominantly refused to let him buy the land.

The second time last night in the fighting hall at the Illuma Club, where Lucas had killed someone from the Steeles and even dropped Ashton, caused him to be humiliated.

Today is the third time.

He had obviously arranged for many Hills experts to remain vigilant and even brought a group of experts with him to protect him. But somehow he still felt fear and unease after seeing Lucas' calm eyes.

From the first day he saw Lucas, Ashton felt very cautious towards him, so he immediately sent people to investigate Lucas.

But after investigating for so long, Ashton never found out where or how Lucas got such a strong background and financial resources, as well as a perfect martial arts skill that allowed him to defeat his bodyguards easily.

After wondering, he only manages to find out that Lucas is an abandoned child who has been driven out by the Huttons at the age of eight and then stranded in Orange County. He then becomes the son-in-law of a third-rate family and faces ridicule and humiliation from many people.

But then, Lucas disappeared for six years before returning to Orange County as a completely changed man.

No one knows what Lucas has been through for six years.

Here lies the problem. Even the Hills, a branch of the royal family, could not figure out what Lucas had been doing for these six years, which was enough to prove that he had an incredible background.

What's more, when Lucas bought land in the eastern suburbs of DC, he had spent 1.2 billion dollars without even winking.

At Club Illuma, Lucas has swiped his cards with hundreds of millions of dollars in casually. If he doesn't order his men to stop Lucas, he might trade another 1.5 billion dollars.

Since he could easily spend close to 2 billion dollars to gamble, he definitely possessed incredible wealth.

Ashton dared to say that even he, the future heir to the Hills, would have a hard time taking so much money at once.

Surely Lucas Gray's background isn't as great as mine, is it?

Aston narrowed his eyes. “Lucas Gray, who are you exactly?”

Lucas laughed without commitment. “I'm sure you've sent someone to investigate my identity. You should be well aware that I'm just an outcast from the Huttons, right?

Ashton said in a deep voice, “Heh, stop trying to fool me with such rhetoric! How could someone who casually spent nearly two billion dollars on gambling just be an outcast from the Huttons? I dare say that even the head of the Huttons would not be able to make so much money at once!

“What identity do you hide?”

Lucas shrugged his shoulders and smiled. “Because you don't believe, you can keep investigating me. By the way, Hills is good at investigating people, right?”

Lucas' words left Ashton deeply dissatisfied.

If he could send people to investigate and find out Lucas' true identity, he wouldn't have to ask Lucas!

Lucas's phone rings.

That's Flynn's phone.

Lucas soon realizes that there may be news of Gemma's condition, so he answers the call immediately.

Flynn's excited and excited voice sounded. “Tn. Gray, Professor Crawford is out of the emergency room. Dr. Stone told me that she was not seriously injured from being pushed but because she had a heart attack from severe shock. After Dr. Stone saved him, his life was out of danger. He just needs to recuperate in the hospital for some time, and he will be fine!”

Please support brother brother everyone ...

After hearing the news about Gemma, Lucas finally felt relieved.

The reason he came to the Illuma Club alone to settle the score with Ashton was to take revenge on Gemma.

But since he was safe and sound now, and he was hospitalized mainly for a heart attack, he felt no need to kill Ashton anymore.

Of course, if something unwanted really happened to Gemma, Lucas would never let go of Ashton and the Hills!

!!

After ending the call, Lucas glanced at Ashton lightly and said, “Do you still want to fight? Otherwise, ask your subordinates to immediately turn my chips into money. I have other things to do, and I don't have time to spend all day here with you.

Those words instantly made Ashton who had just calmed back into a rampage.

Staring at the dagger at Lucas, he said with gritted teeth, “You must apologize for dropping me yesterday! You should also give me land in the eastern suburbs of DC. Then we can wipe out our hostility. How does it sound?”

Luke raised his eyebrows. “Why are you so obsessed with that land?”

After thinking about it, Ashton said, “My family has long been eyeing the land, and we plan to get it at the auction that day. But unfortunately, something came up for me, and I was unable to do so, so I skipped the auction. After all, the land was extremely important to the Hills!

“I won't take your land for free. As I said before, I am willing to pay more and give you 1.7 billion dollars for it. You won't suffer a loss if you sell it to me!

“In addition, Hills is a branch of the royal family, and we have a stronger foundation than the top eight DC families. If you are willing to sell me the land, not only can we bury the axe, but we can even become friends.

“It should be more beneficial for you to befriend a branch of the royal family than to form a feud, right?”

Ashton's words are pretty clear.

Lucas eventually learns that the Hills have long been eyeing the land. However due to a combination of factors, they failed to participate in the auction. As a result, Lucas managed to buy it at a high price of 1.3 billion dollars.

This explains why Lucas saw Ashton and his men on the ground the day after he won the auction. Ashton must have been very angry at that moment.

Although Ashton's offer seemed tantalizing, Lucas also made great use of this land.

If not for the construction of Stardust City and the fact that Professor Crawford had designed the preliminary drawings, Lucas might have actually chosen to sell them and made a profit of 400 million dollars.

But then again, if it wasn't for the sake of building Stardust City, Lucas wouldn't have gone to a land auction and bought this land.

“Sorry, but I need that land too. I can't sell it to you,” reject Lucas again.

Ashton was so angry that he would lose his boss. He clenched his fists tightly and could barely control his anger.

Ashton gritted his teeth and said, “I will add another 500 million dollars! Let me have that land! That's the highest I can offer!

His family's budget for him was limited, and the price he offered now required him to pay more than his own pocket.

Lucas knew that Ashton was very sincere by offering this price.

After all, the initial price of the land was only 430 million dollars, and according to the general market value, it should have cost around a billion dollars, the amount Alexander offered.

Now that Ashton offered 2.2 billion dollars, it was enough to prove that he really wanted this land.

But no matter how much Ashton wanted, it was useless because the land also meant a lot to Lucas, and he would not sell it to anyone else.

Sorry, but even if you offer three billion or even thirty billion dollars, I will not sell it.”

Lucas and Aston were not initially friends, and Lucas was not short on money either. So he would not sell the land he had acquired and start working only for a small profit.

The massive commercial increase that the construction of Stardust City will bring to the mainland alone has already reached at least 15 billion dollars.

This was simply an increase in land prices and did not include the huge revenue that Stardust City could generate once construction was complete.

Regardless of which perspective, Lucas would never sell this land.

Lucas once again refused, infuriating Ashton.

“Lucas Gary, don't go too far. I've been the best I can by offering that price. Don't make me do this the hard way!”

Ashton continued in annoyance, “If you still continue to try your luck with me, you should consider whether you have what it takes!”

As he finished speaking, the seven experts behind him stepped forward in unison and surrounded Lucas, seemingly ready to fight as soon as Ashton issued the order.

After glancing at the people around him indifferently, Lucas looked at Ashton again and raised his eyebrows. “Do you really think your people can do anything to me?”

Cuey and relaxed attitude Lucas immediately make Ashton tense.

Last night, Ashton had the protection of two high-end powerhouses of the family and a group of expert guards in the Illuma Club battle hall.

However Lucas was able to easily break through their protection and strangle Ashton. He even dared to drop it in front of everyone.

Although Ashton had brought more powerhouses with him this time, and he was confident that he would definitely be able to defeat Lucas even under the siege of these experts, after seeing Lucas' reaction, the, Ashton was nervous. Can these experts really beat this punk?

Lucas got up from his seat and said with a smile, “Ashton Hills, I can save your life once today because your people didn't kill Professor Crawford.

“Now, as I said before, exchange these chips and compensate me for the mental trauma you caused me, and I'm leaving.

“If not, you have to pay a much higher price.”
