Chapter 175: You’re Actually Alright?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Carters were so furious that they turned red. The security guards were all too weak in the face of Jordan, let alone them, who often indulged in alcohol and lust. They would never be able to fight him in this lifetime.
After knocking down the group of security guards, Jordan didn’t do anything else and simply sat in the front seat of the truck, blocking the entrance of the Carter’s main residence and forbidding them from leaving. As for the other gates of the Carter residence, Jordan had called people to guard them, ensuring that not a single Carter could leave.
This was the main task that Lucas gave Jordan.
He turned a deaf ear to the Carters’ pressing questions and pretended not to hear them.
Seeing the entrance being blocked by the aggressive Jordan, whose origin they couldn’t find out, the Carters had no choice but to go to Dominic for a solution because they didn’t know who they had offended.
“Dominic, an arrogant young man showed up at our entrance with a large construction truck. He’s blocking it with his truck and not allowing us to enter and exit!”
Dominic immediately flew into a rage. “Where are the security guards? Hurry up and get someone to chase him away.”
A Carter said sulkily, “Dominic, we called the security guards, but that young man has impressive combat skills, and he managed to take them all down! Moreover, he managed to do it effortlessly. He definitely isn’t someone ordinary people can deal with.”
Hearing that the young man could fight, Dominic immediately shuddered a little. He wanted to ask if it was Lucas, but on second thought, he knew it was impossible because all the Carters knew that loser. The stranger obviously wasn’t Lucas.

Since when are there so many people who can fight? Dominic gritted his teeth with a huge headache. But clearly, according to the news relayed by the Carters, this young man wasn’t someone they could deal with.
“Hmph, although I don’t know who he is, since he came alone and only dares to block the entrance, he must not have a powerful background. Don’t panic. I’ll contact the Hales and ask them to send some powerful people over to help us.”
Dominic took out his cell phone and made a call.
When the surrounding Carters heard that he was going to ask the Hales for help, they were immediately overjoyed.
The Hales were one of the four major families in Orange County, and their businesses spread across many industries in the country, so they had a lot of remarkable bodyguards.
Although the Carters had only become acquainted with a few associates of low status within the Hale family, Dominic thought that these connections should be enough for him to borrow some bodyguards.
Dominic tried to call them for a long time before someone picked up and asked in annoyance, “Who’s there?”
Dominic hurriedly said, “Mr. Holmes, I’m Dominic Carter from the Carter Corporation. We met at the Hale residence yesterday…”
“What’s the matter? Get straight to the point!” the other interrupted coldly.
Dominic’s heart was full of frustration, but he nonetheless suppressed it with all his might and continued to smile while speaking to Mr. Holmes, who was tens of years younger than him. “Just now, a young man drove a truck over to block the entrance of our place. His combat skills are impressive, and our security guards can’t beat him, so we thought of borrowing a few expert bodyguards from you. Mr. Holmes, we hope that you will teach that punk a lesson.”

Upon hearing that it was just for a trivial matter, Mr. Holmes immediately said in contempt, “You can’t even deal with a young man. The Carters are indeed useless. Wait, I’ll send some people over to take a look.”
With that, he hung up mercilessly.
Dominic seemed rather sullen. After the Carters left, he gritted his teeth and said resentfully, “Hmph, Anthony Holmes, what are you being so arrogant for? You’re just a steward of the Hales! When we get acquainted with the direct descendants of the Hales in the future, I’ll see how you can still be arrogant!”
But before the people sent by the Hales arrived, a sleek black Jaguar stopped at the entrance of the Carters.
Jordan immediately jumped off the construction truck and walked towards the Jaguar. He then bowed and said, “Lucas, you’re here.”
The door opened, and Lucas alighted from the Jaguar. He glanced at the towering wall and iron gate outside the Carter residence, and he couldn’t help but be reminded of when Cheyenne had knelt there in the pouring rain, but no one came out to talk to her. She had waited for a long time, only to be told mercilessly that she had been disowned.
The gaze in Lucas’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said to Jordan, “Ram into the house.”
“Yes, Lucas!” There was a trace of excitement in Jordan’s eyes as he gestured to the driver of the construction truck. Soon, the engine of the steel vehicle started. With loud rumbling, it drove straight into the walls of the Carter residence!
The truck rammed into the iron gate and deformed it. A large portion of the wall of the courtyard collapsed, and bricks came crashing down with loud sounds. Immediately afterward, the entire front yard of the Carter residence was in ruins.
“Ah! Get out of the way. The vehicle is ramming toward us!”
“Oh my god. That man drove the truck into our home! Are the Hales’ people not here yet?”
…
The Carters shrieked in horror and dashed toward the houses.
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated, and Lucas’s toned and tall figure appeared in front of the Carters.
“Is that… Lucas Gray? Why is he here?”
“Didn’t we kick him and Cheyenne’s family out? How does he still have the cheek to show up here?”
“Could Lucas… have hired that young man outside?”
…
The Carters started speculating and making guesses, but the person who was most shocked by Lucas’s appearance was surprisingly Bryce’s mother, Sarah.
“You’re actually alright?” Sarah sized up Lucas and couldn’t help but look surprised and disappointed when she realized that his limbs were intact and there were no wounds on his body either.
“Are you very surprised and disappointed to see me standing here alive and well?” Lucas gibed with an indifferent gaze.
Sarah shuddered and took two steps back subconsciously.
She was indeed surprised that Lucas was unscathed.
According to her and Bryce’s previous plan, Lucas should have had his limbs broken and been severely wounded by the impressive bodyguard they had hired with a large amount of money.
But he was now standing right in front of her, perfectly fine and unharmed. Did Bryce… fail to carry out the plan?
When Sarah thought of this, her eyelids suddenly twitched, and her heart was full of uneasiness.
