Chapter 1123 Wreaking Out Anger at Lucas
Flynn suddenly realized. “So so! It seemed that the Hills were still angry and wanted to take the land on which the City of Stardust was built. That's why they used such a disgusting way!
“They are truly despicable and shameless! Professor Crawford is in his seventies, but they hurt him severely. They deserve to die!”
After cursing with righteous indignation, Flynn was again filled with worry. “Lucas, The Hills is a branch of the royal family and is taller than the eight DC giants. If they are determined to seize the land from you, the Stardust City project will be greatly affected.. We may even have to stop the construction as a last resort, right?”.
Lucas sneered. “They are only branches from nobles, and they will not be able to influence the Stardust City project. If they have a death wish, I will give it to them!”
What Lucas said once again surprised Flynn. It seemed that Lucas never took his enemies seriously, regardless of how strong they were.
At first, it was the top four families in Orange County, and later, it became the top three families in LA. Now that he was in DC, even the eight giants could not bother him.
The facts have proven that Lucas was indeed very strong and was not at all afraid of these families.
But everything is different now. They were facing the Hill, a branch of the royal family. Can Lucas solve this problem as easily as before?
If this was the case, how terrifying would Lucas' strength be?
Flynn did not dare to continue thinking about it.
Lucas said, “ Anyway, I will take care of Professor Crawford's problem, regardless of who did it. You just need to be in charge of handling the affairs of Stardust Corporation.”
“Yes, Luke!” Flynn tensed up and hurriedly agreed.
“Grandpa! How's it going?!” Suddenly, an anxious voice came from the corridor outside the emergency room, along with chaotic footsteps. Immediately, three people rushed over.
The one who ran in front was a young girl in her twenties, followed by a couple in their forties. They're all very worried.
The middle-aged man and the young girl looked somewhat similar to Gemma, so they were clearly in contact with her.
Flynn is Gemma's student, so he knows who his family is.
After she saw the three of them, a guilty expression appeared on her face as she said in an apologetic tone, “Sorry, Paul, Leila. Professor Crawford…
“I'm sorry. It was all my fault. I failed to protect Professor Crawford. I'm sorry!”
Professor Crawford's family members are all intellectuals. Like him, his son, Paul Carson, and his wife were professors at Georgetown University.
The young girl, Leila, is Gemma's granddaughter and Paul's daughter.
Leila is now a senior student at Georgetown University and is already guaranteed a place in graduate school due to her outstanding results.
It could be said that the family were all rare talents from Georgetown University.
Acquainted with Flynn, Paul would naturally not be angry at him, especially after seeing how sorry he was.
“You don't have to blame yourself. I'm sure you don't want my mom to get hurt either. Besides, I heard you sent some bodyguards to protect her. Now that this has happened, it is not your fault at all.” Paul patted Flynn on the back.
He was a reasonable person, so he could naturally distinguish right from wrong. Since the culprit who injured his mother was someone else, he would not blame Flynn.
After hearing what Paul said, Flynn became even more embarrassed, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words.
Paul saw the lights on the emergency room door. Since the doctor had not come out yet, his mother's situation was unknown, and the only thing they could do now was to stand here and wait.
When he saw Lucas standing beside Flynn, he asked doubtfully, “Who is this?”
Flynn hastily introduced, “Paul, let me introduce to you. It's Mr. Lucas Gray, chairman of Stardust Corporation. After hearing that Professor Crawford was injured, she immediately decided to come with me to the hospital.”
Paul smiled politely and took the initiative to extend his hand. “So, you are the chairman of Stardust Corporation. It's nice to meet you. I'm Paul Carson, son of Professor Crawford.”
Although he doesn't know Lucas yet, he knows that his mother works on Stardust City's designs for the Stardust Corporation every day.
It turned out that the young man in his twenties in front of him was a big boss who hired his mother.
Paul was kind of friendly, because he was polite and cultured.
Lucas smiled faintly and also extended his hand. Just as he was about to shake hands with Paul, a petite figure suddenly appeared between them to disturb their handshake.
Standing in front of Lucas angrily, Leila glared at him and snapped, “So, you are the chairman of Stardust Corporation! Since my grandmother had worked for your company, she ended up like this. It's all your fault!
If my grandmother is okay, then we can forget about her. But if...if something happens to her, I won't let you go! Did you hear me?”
The girl's voice was clear and sharp, but she glared at Lucas angrily like a feisty little tiger.
Flynn's expression changed immediately. He understood Lucas' temperament well, so he was afraid that Leila would make him angry.
Next to him, Paul reprimanded with a frown, “Leila, watch your behavior! Is that the attitude we teach you when interacting with others? Your grandmother was hurt, and we were very anxious and sad, but that's not what Mr. Gray too. Apologize to him immediately!”
Leila replied angrily, “Why should I apologize to her? Am I wrong? Granny won't get hurt if she doesn't work for him!”
Then he scowled at Lucas menacingly as his eyes turned red.
“You vent your anger senselessly! Is that what Grandma and I taught you? Apologize to Mr Gray immediately!” Paul has always been a man of sound mind. Now that his daughter was acting like this, he frowned in displeasure. His voice became deeper, and he even sounded a little domineering.
No, I refuse! They were responsible for Grandma's accident!” Leila said stubbornly with tears in her eyes.
“You!” Enraged, Paul raised his hand, wanting his daughter.
Hit it!

Chapter 1124 Settling Score
However, the slap did not land on Leila.
Just as Paul's slap was about to land on his face, Lucas suddenly took a step forward, grabbed Paul's hand, and persuaded, “Professor Carson, don't slap him. He's correct. If Professor Crawford hadn't helped me, he wouldn't have had this unwarranted accident. I'm so sorry!”
Lucas felt very guilty.
The Hills obviously wanted to seize land from Lucas, so they had sent a group of thugs from the Illuma Club to harm those involved in the development of Stardust City to prevent them from continuing development.
If Gemma doesn't help her, she won't get hurt.
In addition, Gemma was already in her seventies, and now that she was seriously injured, it was unknown if she could be saved. In short, Lucas felt very guilty after seeing the Gemma family.
Since Lucas has stopped him, of course Paul will not continue lecturing Leila. He could only glare at her and reprimand, “You are already in your twenties! Why are you still so insensitive? Look at Mr. Gray. If he doesn't help you, I'll really teach you a hard lesson!”
“Hmph, I don't need him pretending to be good here!” Leila hated Lucas. She glared at him and attacked angrily, “I don't want to see you here. Seeing you pisses me off! Quick and get lost!”
“You ...” Paul immediately frowned and almost lost his temper again.
Seeing this, Lucas hastily persuaded, “Professor Carson, please calm down. I have something to take care of, so I'll leave now.”
Then he instructed Flynn, “Immediately let me know once Professor Crawford came out!”
After Flynn admits it, Lucas leaves.
She actually has nothing to do, and not because she doesn't want to wait for Gemma to come out of the emergency room. But he knew that Lelia hated him so much that if he continued to stay here, it would only aggravate the conflict between him and Paul. So he better leave early.
Sure enough, Leila stopped venting her anger after Lucas left and finally calmed down. He's still not happy with Flynn, but at least he's not as sorry as he was against Lucas.
Paul has a headache.
Leila is great in all aspects, except she can sometimes be too emotional. Once he became upset, there was no way to persuade him.
Flynn coughed and said, “Leila, actually, Mr. Gray is very concerned about Professor Crawford's situation. The doctor treating Professor Crawford in the emergency room is the internationally recognized Maddy Stone, who was specially invited by Mr Gray to take care of your grandmother. With Miss Stone here, your grandmother will definitely be safe and sound!”
With this said, he hopes to show how much Lucas appreciates Gemma and what he has done for her, wanting to reduce Leila's hostility towards Lucas as much as possible.
After all, one was the granddaughter of his mentor, and the other was his boss. Flynn was very unwilling to see any conflict between them.
“Hmph, who cares ?!” Leila snorted and bit her lips, not wanting to talk to Flynn.
Paul sighed and said to Flynn helplessly, “Flynn, please don't take it personally. Leila has been spoiled by us. I hope you don't put it in your heart.
“How is it possible?!” Flyn shook her head.
The two spoke a little more casually while standing outside the emergency room and looking at the sign above the door.
They hope Gemma will get through it safely…
…
Meanwhile, Lucas leaves DC Hospital and heads straight to Club Illuma.
What happened to Gemma was because of the Hills, so they had to pay the price!
Soon, Lucas arrives at the Illuma Club again.
Unlike the last time he came, this time he exuded a murderous aura.
He specifically came here today to take revenge against the Illuma Club and the Hills!
As soon as Lucas reached the entrance, two staff members of Clum Illuma stopped him. “Master, please show your membership card. You're not allowed to enter without it.
Lucas sneered and shouted, “Go!”
He came here today for revenge. Why would he care about membership cards?
If the guards refused to let him in, he could only use the simplest and most brutal solution—fight to enter!
After hearing what Lucas said, the two guards froze before realizing that this young man was not here for entertainment but to seek trouble!
That's a very new thing!
The owner of Club Illuma is the Hills, a branch of the royal family. Anyone who dared to cause trouble for them was simply chasing death!
“Punk, how dare you cause trouble at the Illuma Club? You must be tired of living!”
“You better find out who is behind the Illuma Club and check if you are able to provoke them!”
The two guards at the door immediately mocked Lucas. At the same time, they took out a plastic stick in their wait and inched closer to Lucas.
Since they had been chosen as the guardians of the Illuma Club, naturally they were not beginners with poor fighting abilities.
But before they could reach Lucas, Lucas sent them flying with a twisting kick!
Bang out!
Thump!
The bodies of the guards fell to the ground with a loud noise.
They lay motionless on the ground, unable to get up for a long time, staring at Lucas with horror in their eyes. Who is this guy?
He had kicked the two of them so far with just a light kick and nearly crippled them!
Lucas glanced at the two of them coldly and then stepped in without saying a word.
Their bodies were stiff, and they could not even say a word to stop it.
But there's surveillance everywhere in the Illuma Club. Although the two guards at the door failed to warn, a group of henchmen rushed out and surrounded Lucas.
The leader narrowed his eyes at Lucas in a threatening manner. “Punk, how dare you cause trouble at the Illuma Club? How insolent!”

Chapter 1125 Tell Him to Come Out
Lucas looked around at the people around him and said coldly, “Tell Ashton Hill to get out of here!”
Lucas was angry.
If Ashton really wants to seize that land, he can come to Lucas.
Gemma is elderly, but she is still undergoing emergency rescue now, and it is unknown what will happen to her in the future. Ashton is truly unforgivable!
After hearing what Lucas said, the lackeys of the Illuma Club soon underwent a drastic change in expression. How dare this man call Mr Ashton by his name and talk about him in such a tone?!
The leader shouted, “Damn it! Who do you think you are? You can't meet Mr Ashton just because you want to!”
Hehe, so? In that case, I can only use another method to get him out of here to see me!” Lucas said coldly. As he finished speaking, he had already dashed towards the minions like a bolt of lightning.
The next moment, bursts of miserable screams sounded in the arena. The minions were all sent flying as if invisible opponents had attacked them and fell to the floor one after another.
Bang out!
Bang out!
Thump!
“Ah!”
…
With a chaotic voice, the dozen minions in front of Lucas had already fallen to the floor and could not move.
Seeing this scene in front of them, the other people in the Illuma Club would inevitably stare at Lucas with wide eyes in disbelief.
Lucas did not deliver a fatal blow to these minions. After all, they only worked for the Illuma Club, and they might not know what happened yesterday.
The one Lucas wants to avenge is Ashton, the mastermind behind this, and who has hurt Gemma, an elderly woman in her seventies.
As for the other staff members, Lucas will not kill them unless they seek his own death.
After obstructing these people with a single move, he immediately went to the poker room on the fifth floor without a hitch.
Since Ashton doesn't show up, he'll make trouble here until he shows up.
If he raised the Illuma Club, smashed everything in sight and beat everyone up, it would not make Ashton feel any pain at all
Therefore, Lucas went straight to the poker room, intending to get Ashton to spend a lot of money. Only this way will he learn his lesson and never dare to mess with Lucas again!
Since Club Illuma is one of the best entertainment venues in DC, there will never be a shortage of customers in the poker room.
Today, in a large room covering thousands of square meters, there were many card tables, each full of people. From time to time, there will be bursts of cheers or cries of sadness.
Even the most graceful nobles will show their bad side when they become victims of gambling addiction and their minds are preoccupied with greed. Their eyes were only fixed on the cards and chips on the table.
Lucas walks around the poker room and goes to the table near the middle.
He had just discovered that a middle-aged man with a large gold chain around his neck was the only person at the table who was innocent. The other three people at the table with him were clearly conspiring and deliberately trapping him into their trap.
This was the poker room of the Illuma Club, and the only person who dared to do this blatantly was the staff of the Illuma Club.
It seemed that the three of them were working together to deceive the middle-aged man, so they placed a huge bet.
So, Lucas went straight to this table, patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder, and said, “Main at another table.”
The middle-aged man had just won a lot of money and was extremely excited. Hearing what Lucas said, he snapped furiously, “Damn it! Who are you, bad boy? How dare you take my seat?”
According to the middle-aged man, he was very lucky and had just won a lot of money, probably because he was in the lucky seat. As soon as he heard that Lucas wanted him to move seats, he immediately became angry.
He did not know the reason he could win now was because he had fallen into the trap of others at the same table. Their plan was to let him win a few games first and then persuade him to increase his stakes before killing him.
It can be said that Lucas saved her by asking her to change seats.
Unfortunately, the middle-aged novice did not know at all, nor did he appreciate Lucas' efforts. He just thinks that Lucas is here to ruin everything for him.
Lucas could not be bothered to keep talking to him. He directly lifted it behind his collar and threw it on the floor without hesitation.
Bang out!
The fat body of the middle-aged man hit the floor with a thud. Some people around the poker table immediately turned their heads.
Their faces were covered in shock!
For many years the Illuma Club operated in DC, no one dared to cause trouble here.
After all, many people knew who really owned the Illuma Club, and even members of DC's top eight families never dared to cause trouble here.
But the young man in front of them, who looked to be only in his twenties, actually had the courage to appear physical at the Illuma Club!
Lucas didn't care what expression the rookie had. Instead, he just sat in his chair.
“I'll play with you guys.”
The other three people sitting at the table looked at each other.
They were obviously going to lure the middle-aged man into their trap, but Lucas appeared at this time and threw him away, jeopardizing their plan.
One of them narrowed his eyes and said to Lucas in a hostile manner, “Punk, are you here to make trouble?”
Luke smiled faintly. “Isn't this a poker room? Is there a difference between him playing with you guys and me playing with you guys?”
Then Lucas said to a waiter next to him, “Please exchange thirty million dollars worth of chips for me.”
He took out a bank card from his pocket and threw it straight at the waiter. His tone was relaxed as if he was just asking the waiter to get him a pack of cigarettes.
His words immediately stunned many of the people around him!
Lucas actually wants 30 million worth of chips!
There are a lot of people in DC with a net worth of ten million or even hundreds of millions of dollars. But this is the cumulative value of the company's assets, stock investments, and their fixed assets.
It is rare for anyone to have so much money to put aside for poker.
Beginners got up from the floor and wanted to teach Lucas a lesson. But after hearing what Lucas said, he shivered! Yes God!
Thirty million dollars just for poker! He didn't even have much money in liquid assets!
Thinking of this, the middle-aged novice looked at Lucas with a much more meticulous gaze and no longer dared to ask Lucas to return his seat.
