Chapter 1133 Incredible Pain

Seeing how confident Lucas was, Ashton was furious.

Ashton has always been a respectable descendant of the Hills, and he may be the helmsman of the future. In the past, wherever he went, everyone would have wanted to lick him. He's never been so angry before.

Lucas was so vile as to dare to ask him to compensate for his mental trauma.

Now that there were so many underlings and staff members of the Illuma Club, Ashton would definitely be humiliated if he gave up and surrendered to Lucas!

!!

Thinking of the Hill experts he brought with him today, Ashton finally ordered, “Do it! Lower her!”

“Yes, Mr Ashton!”

Ashton's bodyguards, which surrounded Lucas, immediately charged towards him.

But before they could get close, Lucas had already started moving.

Whooshing sound!

Lucas's figure seemed to turn into a blurry shadow. No one knew how he was moving, but painful cries suddenly sounded from the poker room, which had been cleared of spectators! Immediately after, one after another figures were sent flying out!

The explosion!

“Aduh!”

Thump!

…

For a moment, only the thumping of a body fell on the floor and the miserable shriek.

Ten seconds later, none of the experts who surrounded Lucas were able to stand up and speak properly.

Lucas patted his sleeve and walked towards Ashton calmly as he said, “Master. Hills, your subordinates don't seem to be able to take a hit!”

Ashton stared at the scene in front of him with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Lucas actually conquered many of the experts Ashton had brought in in a short ten seconds, and none of them could rise from the floor!

How good is Lucas Gray's martial arts skills ?!

Seeing Lucas walking towards him step by step, Ashton was terrified speechless. In panic, he stepped back and shouted anxiously, “Don't! What are you trying to do?”

Looking at Ashton, who was so scared that he lost his balance, Lucas said with a smile, “Don't worry. I'm not gonna hit you today. I have already stated my request now.

“But 3 billion dollars is the previous price. Since you just ordered people to hurt me again, which made me very unhappy, add another 150 million dollars in compensation for my mental trauma, for a total of 3.15 billion dollars.

“Tell someone to transfer money to my account, and I'll go. But if you do not want or want to waste time, the amount will be much higher a little more.

Smiling, Lucas throws a bank card at the card table next to Ashton.

Ashton is now very frightened. After hearing what Lucas said, he almost cried.

This is just a daylight robbery!

He had just defeated his subordinates, yet he had even asked for extra money to compensate for his mental damage.

Lucas had no mental trauma at all. On the contrary, Ashton himself was extremely agitated and still shaken.

Moreover, Club Illuma was indeed very profitable, but it was a family business, and most of the profits went to the Hills. Only a small amount goes into Ashton's pocket!

Now, Lucas wants him to take 3.15 billion dollars at a time. Unless Lucas bets 602 million dollars, the remaining 2.513 billion dollars will come from the Illuma Club!

Ashton is only in charge of managing the Illuma Club, and the amount of funds he can transfer at most is only 2 billion dollars. He had to pay the remaining 513 million dollars out of his own pocket!

The thought of Lucas taking so much money made Ashton feel his heart was dripping with blood.

Moreover, if his family found out that the Illuma Club had lost a large amount of money, they would definitely hold Ashton accountable!

But in the face of Lucas' strength, Ashton doesn't even dare to resist, fearing Lucas suddenly adds more compensation and makes him pay more!

“Sials. Why are you still standing there? Hurry and transfer the money to Mr Gray!” Ashton yelled angrily at one of Club Illuma's financial managers beside him.

At this point, the only thing he could do was obey Lucas. Otherwise, there would be nothing he could do if Lucas wanted more compensation.

After being reprimanded by an angry Ashton, the finance manager dared not resist and could only take Lucas' bank card and immediately handle his transfer.

Seeing this scene, Lucas sat back down casually and looked at Ashton with a smile.

In fact, Lucas has barged into the Illuma Club alone in order to get revenge for Gemma and also to give a serious warning to Ashton and his family.

Of course, if something really happened to Gemma, Lucas would destroy the Illuma Club and annihilate Ashton and the Hills!

Luckily, Flynn called and informed her that the main reason Gemma had to undergo emergency rescue was due to a heart attack. Although it still had something to do with the Hills, Lucas' killing intent had been drastically reduced.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be sitting here and just asking Ashton for a few billion dollars in compensation.

Under Lucas' smiling gaze, Ashton was agitated, making his entire body feel extremely uncomfortable.

He never found the passage of time to be such a torment!

After two minutes, Lucas' phone rang. It was a notice telling him that he had received the money.

The finance manager also rushed over and respectfully returned Lucas' bank card with both hands. “Tn. Gray, 3.15 billion dollars have been transferred to your account. Please check!”

Lucas casually kept the bank card and smiled at Ashton again. “Tn. Hill, if you feel you have too much money in the future, feel free to come to me. I'd love to do this again a few more times.

Ashton was almost crying. Lucas had taken a huge amount of money from him, so he naturally expected this to happen a few more times, but Ashton didn't want to see Lucas again!

“You ... Please be careful!” Ashton said with clenched teeth.

“Heh, goodbye.” Lucas waved the bank card in his hand and left gallantly.

Only after Lucas' figure completely disappeared did Ashton wipe the cold sweat off his face and sit on the chair beside him, his legs limp and weak.

As he thought over three billion dollars in Lucas' bank account, Ashton felt excruciating pain in every inch of his body!

1134 Dropping the Job

A middle-aged man standing beside Ashton said furiously, “Master. Ashton, are we going to let that bastard go and let him go with all that money? We let him go too easily!”

Hit it!

Ashton raised his hand and slapped the middle-aged man's face. He roared, “You think I want to let go? If you think you can stop it, go ahead! If you can stop him and return his bank card, I'll give you 150 million dollars!

“Go, try to stop him!”

The middle-aged man was slapped so hard that his teeth almost came off. He hurriedly shut up, not daring to say a word.

Now that Ashton was angry, no one dared to say anything.

After glaring angrily at the crowd in the poker room, he commanded sternly, “None of you should speak a word about what happened today. Otherwise, I won't let you go!”

Be it the staff of the Illuma Club or the experts who fainted on the floor and could not get up, they all agreed, “Ya, Mr. Ashton. We'll never say a word about this!

After giving the order of the joke, Ashton began to ponder with a grim expression.

Apart from Lucas' bet of 602 million dollars, the rest of the money had to be deducted from the Illuma Club's revenue.

If the family finds a large deficit, Ashton may no longer be the heir to the family and may even be severely punished.

Therefore, he had to hide this matter before using various means to fill the deficit as much as possible.

…

Meanwhile, after leaving Club Illuma, Lucas headed straight for DC Hospital.

Although Flynn has said on the phone that Gemma's condition is no longer critical, Lucas still wants to go see her.

In the end, Gemma had an unprovoked accident today because she helped Lucas design and build Stardust City. As a result, he was injured by the Hills, which triggered a near-fatal heart attack.

Moreover, now that Gemma has been saved, and the main cause of her condition is a heart attack, her family should not be too hostile to her now…

Seeing Lucas show up at the hospital again, Flynn hurriedly greeted him and asked anxiously, “Lucas, is.... everything is fine there?”

When Lucas left early, Flynn roughly guessed what he was going to do, so he was very worried.

After all, the Illuma Club and the Hills were not to be taken lightly.

Lucas said calmly, “Everything is fine. How's Professor Crawford doing?”

Flynn said, “He's not conscious yet, but Dr. Stone said that she was out of danger and would be fine once she woke up.”

“Good.” Lucas breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he took out a bank card in his pocket and handed it to Flynn. “There are slightly more than five billion dollars in this card. Withdraw thirty million dollars from it and give it to Professor Crawford's family as compensation, then use the rest for the construction of Stardust.” City

There are over two billion dollars in Lucas cards, and he has made over three billion dollars from the Illuma Club.

Although the compensation for the Gemma family did not require 30 million dollars, the Hills were the reason he had this accident. So Lucas said it was not too much to give them 30 million dollars of the money Hills gave him.

Flynn had taken the bank card from Lucas' hand, but when he heard that it contained over five billion dollars, he was so scared that he almost dropped the card.

He hurriedly held the card with both hands and said carefully, “Lucas, there is still a lot of money on the card you gave me last time. We don't need a lot of money for now, so why don't you keep this card?

Lucas shook his head and said, “Take it. The construction of dozens of Stardust Cities will be carried out simultaneously in the near future and will require huge funds. Take this money as a backup fund.”

Since Lucas had already said it, Flynn had nothing more to say and could only insert the card into his pocket carefully.

The fact that Lucas had handed so much money to him and let him use it as he wished showed his great trust in Flynn!

As they speak outside the Gemma ward, the door of the ward suddenly opens, and Leila, the granddaughter of Professor Crawford, comes out, only to be stunned at the sight of Lucas.

Soon after, an unnatural expression appeared on his face, and he coughed before saying to Lucas, “Uh, forgive me for what I said earlier. I accidentally chose you.”

Leila's hatred for Lucas completely disappears after learning that her grandmother suffered a heart attack and was saved by Maddy.

Hearing his awkward apology, Lucas would naturally not bother opposing a girl who was still in college. He just smiled and said, “It's okay.”

Hearing their voices, Paul walked out and nodded at Lucas. “Tn. Grey.”

“Professor Carson.” Lucas greets Paul, Gemma's well-rounded son, who impresses Lucas.

Paul looked at Lucas and suddenly said, “Master. Gray, can I talk to you alone?”

Lucas was a little surprised, but he nodded anyway. “Good.”

Lucas followed Paul out into the empty corridor.

He looked at Lucas and hesitated to speak a few times, seemingly not knowing what to say.

Seeing this, Lucas said softly, “Professor Carson, feel free to speak your mind. It's okay.”

Hearing this, Paul smiled wryly and finally said, “Master. Gray, I'll be frank with you. My mother had been suffering from heart disease for several years, and the attack this time was very severe. The doctor said he was in a very dangerous situation. While he was saved this time, he might not be that lucky the next time.

“So, I hope my mother can put down all her work, including the design of Stardust City, and go home to enjoy her retirement.

“Therefore, I want to apologize to you.”

1135 Candidates for Security

In fact, when Paul said that he wanted to say something to Lucas, Lucas had already guessed that he would most likely be talking about this.

After all, Gemma is elderly, and most people her age have long retired.

But Gemma was someone who couldn't stand laziness, so she accepted a job offer from Georgetown University and continued to work at the school as a professor. Later, he accepted Lucas' invitation to design and build Stardust City for the Stardust Corporation.

Paul was against the idea of his mother going to a construction site and painstakingly working on design drawings every day. But he couldn't stop her and could only go along with her.

But now that Gemma is so shocked and terrified at the construction site that she suffers a near-fatal heart attack, Paul is very worried about her.

Who knew that Gemma would have a similar accident if she continued to live on the construction site of Stardust City?

Seeing Lucas not talking, Paul continued, “I am very worried about my mother's health. Although I may not be as good as him, I am also a professor of architectural design at the School of Architecture of Georgetown.

“If you don't mind, I can take over my mother's work and help design the Stardust City project so that it is not affected by her absence.”

Paul's words are very accurate.

He was worried about his mother's health, so he didn't want his mother to continue working at Stardust City, but he also didn't want Lucas' project to be affected. Therefore, he offers to take over Gemma's job.

Moreover, he was indeed a senior professor at Georgetown University, so his professional level was definitely not low.

Paul had made a careful consideration.

Lucas smiled wryly. “Professor Carson, I really trust your professional expertise, but Professor Crawford is very excited about the construction of Stardust City, so I doubt he is willing to leave this project.”

Earlier, after Gemma found out about the Stardust City construction project, she skipped lunch and hurriedly dragged Lucas and Flynn to the ground in the eastern suburbs of DC to inspect the construction site in detail.

Later, he even wanted to set up a tent so that he could stay at the construction site and observe it personally.

Even Lucas was deeply moved by his enthusiasm.

So, the problem now is not whether Lucas will release Gemma, but whether he is willing to leave the project.

After hearing what Lucas said, Paul fell silent.

Paul knew his mother's character well. Given his enthusiastic and frenetic work attitude, in which he even skipped meals and slept for work, he said, Paul also thought that it would indeed be difficult to convince him to leave the construction project of Stardust City and stay home to rest.

Lucas thought for a moment before saying, “How about this? Professor Crawford had completed the entire Stardust City plan, but he still felt uncomfortable handing over all the work to the engineering team. So he insisted to stay on site to monitor the construction every day so that he can make changes according to the location conditions.”

“In fact, in fact Professor Crawford no longer needs to go to the location every day to watch his development closely. I would talk nicely with him and try to persuade him to stay home to rest as much as possible. If there are any issues to be dealt with, I can ask our engineering department to communicate with him via video call.

“If Professor Crawford is still worried, he can go to the location to provide guidance every few days. Like this, he would be much more comfortable and still have a clear idea of the progress of construction.

“Professor Carson, what do you think of this setting?”

Hearing this, Paul thought about it and nodded in agreement. “Tn. Gray, that's a great idea. Thank you very much!”

Lukas smiled. “It's just a small matter. Professor Crawford is amazing. Professor Carson, you are a filial son who values family and truth. I just do what suits my ability.”

Paul laughed and said, “You're too polite, Mr. Gray. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, please feel free to let me know!”

“Haha, Professor Carson, you are too polite.”

Both of them were much more relaxed after resolving this matter.

After staying in Gemma's ward for a while and seeing his condition stabilise and he just sleeps, Lucas doesn't stay any longer and leaves with Flynn.

…

On the way home, Lucas told Flynn what he had discussed with Paul and asked him to make arrangements early. He also instructed her to wait until Gemma's condition completely improved before talking to him about the matter.

Flynn agrees with Lucas and Paul.

At the same time, he was full of guilt. “Lucas, I'm really sorry. If I organize more people to protect Professor Crawford, we might be able to avoid this. I will definitely tighten security measures in the future!”

Lucas doesn't blame Flynn. “It wasn't your fault. Moreover, the bodyguards you found may not be able to handle the people from the Illuma Club, so I'll help you find some people to take over this.

“For your work, the focus should remain on Stardust Corporation. In addition to the company's operations, the construction of various Stardust Cities and the development of overseas markets will also depend on your supervision. So your responsibility is also very important.”

“Yes, Luke. I will definitely do a good job!” Flynn's convinced.

Lucas nodded, pulled out his phone, and called.

Immediately, an excited voice replied. “Tn. Gray, you finally called!”

Without further ado, Lucas said directly, “Make arrangements for the problems you are dealing with now and then bring twenty to thirty of your strongest subordinates to the Stardust Corporation headquarters in DC. I've got some instructions for you.

Hearing this, the person across instantly became excited. “Yes! I'll arrange everything today and bring my subordinates to meet you in DC tomorrow!”

“Oke.”

After ending the call, Lucas looked at Flynn, who was still confused, and said, “This is Joe from Little Atlantis City in Orange County, mine. He's one of my subordinates. Send people to the airport to pick them up tomorrow and hand over the security jobs of Stardust Corporation to them.”
