Lucas smiled and laughed at Bruce’s words. “No wonder Logan Hale is such an imbecile. It turns out a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow! With an immoral grandfather like you, Logan Hale must have been poorly educated. He doesn’t have any manners at all!”

“How dare you!” Bruce bellowed furiously. “You’re just an outsider. You’re in no place to make any comments about our family’s affairs!”

Lucas sneered and didn’t bother to talk with Bruce anymore. He simply looked at him in derision. “Before I came to the Hale residence today, I thought I would be going a bit too far by interrupting your banquet. But now it seems that what I’ve done is far from enough! The Hale family is incorrigible and filthy. In my opinion, there’s no need for the Hales to continue to exist in Orange County.”

As soon as he said that, everyone looked at him peculiarly, thinking that he was out of his mind.

Even if he was impressive at martial arts and could beat up ten people on his own, the Hales had a few hundred bodyguards, and a siege will be enough to crush this arrogant ant to death.

Lucas had just defeated Hans, the Hales’ henchman. But after thinking about it, everyone reckoned that since Hans was already old and the Hales were now one of the four most powerful families in the county, Hans definitely wasn’t their only trump card.

Thus, everyone felt that Lucas was being too arrogant and overestimating himself!

Bruce narrowed his eyes and looked at Lucas gloomily. “Punk, aren’t you thinking too lightly of the four major families? The fact that the Hales can be at the top of Orange County means that we’re a powerful existence that you can’t just annihilate!”

In fact, the Hale family’s status had become so high that their network of connections and power had extended to all levels of society. They had powerful businesses and were in close ties with various forces. They were also acquainted with many in the upper echelons of society, as well as the major families and enterprises that had cooperated with the Hales.

It could be said that the Hales had already formed deep roots, and overthrowing them was not an easy task that just any expert could do.

Today’s society was no longer as chaotic as it was 70 to 80 years ago, where gangs and the mafia were rampant, and an individual could build a family business and territory.

Lucas smiled calmly and couldn’t be bothered to explain anymore. He suddenly looked at the door. “Oh, I almost forgot that I have a gift for the Hales.”

Bruce said with a mirthless smile, “I’m afraid your congratulatory gift isn’t something good. I don’t want it.”

Lucas smiled. “Don’t be in a hurry to reject it. This is a special gift, and I believe you’ll definitely accept it with satisfaction after you see it.”

After Lucas said this, Jordan, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of the hall. He was holding something in his hand and dragging it on the ground.

Before everyone could see clearly, Jordan waved his hand, and the long black object in his hand flew straight across the hall and landed directly in front of Bruce with a dull thud.

As soon as everyone fixed their eyes on what Lucas’s gift was, extremely loud gasps resounded in the hall!

It was a person!

Lucas actually got someone to bring a person!

Bruce frowned. But when he saw the person’s face clearly, he immediately felt a chill and roared hysterically in rage, “Logan!”

“What? Logan? Is it Logan Hale?”

“Oh my god! The person on the ground is actually Logan Hale?”

Only then did the crowd understand that the person thrown over as a gift was actually a direct descendant of the Hales. It was Logan Hale, whom Lucas and Bruce had just been talking about!

But Logan Hale, who was thrown over like a rag, was now covered in blood with his eyes closed and his face pale. His legs were twisted at an awkward angle. He had clearly had his legs broken. Furthermore, the rest of his body was covered in injuries!

Bruce was infuriated. The veins on his forehead were bulging, and his eyes were bloodshot!

Bruce Hale’s grandson was beaten into a pulp and thrown back in their home, right on the Hales’ turf. It was just like slapping the Hales directly in the face!

“I want you dead! Someone, come here!” Bruce could no longer maintain his expression as he hollered furiously. Instantly, 20 or so elite guards in black dashed out of every corner of the banquet hall and surrounded Lucas.

Although these people were inferior to Hans in terms of combat skills, they were also first-class martial arts experts whom the Hales had handpicked. They were definitely not ordinary bodyguards.

These 20 or so elite guards standing around Lucas and Jordan should be more than enough to deal with them.

Bruce refused to believe that they couldn’t beat the two. No matter how powerful Lucas and Jordan were, they definitely couldn’t survive under the siege of 20-odd such experts!

But when Lucas saw so many people around him, he still looked relaxed without any nervousness at all.

He said indifferently, “After seeing the state your grandson is in, don’t you want to know why I did that to him?”

Bruce’s eyes were bloodshot as he said with a menacing expression, “He’s my grandson. Even if he has done something wrong, the Hales should be the one to punish him. What right do you have to do that to him?”

Lucas shook his head and sneered. “You feel miserable and angry seeing your grandson beaten up. But when your grandson treats others like this and bullies others, you just laugh it off and don’t take it seriously at all!

“If he does something wrong, he should be punished. Since you won’t discipline your grandson, someone else will do so on your behalf!

“Your grandson is human, but so are others. Why should they be bullied by you? Don’t you understand the principle of ‘do not do unto others as you would that they should do unto you’?”

Bruce sneered. “Who do you think you are? Do you think you can do justice for the world? Let me tell you, in this world, people with power, status, and wealth are superior to others! We are naturally much more noble than you! How can you, a penniless bastard, compare to my grandson?!

“If you dare to beat up my grandson, I will definitely make you die a miserable death. And it still wouldn’t be enough to vent the hatred within me!”
