Chapter 665: Collision By The Road

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Edmund looked at Lucas, who was like the sharpest blade in the world that had just been unsheathed. He was emitting a murderous aura that made Edmund’s heart skip a beat, even though he had already gotten used to witnessing countless deaths on the battlefield.
Because Lucas had saved his life, Edmund respected him enough not to investigate his identity and background. He had just found out from his son, Clement, that Lucas had been abandoned by the Huttons.
But a person like him who didn’t enjoy the protection of his family actually had such a terrifying aura, making Edmund certain that Lucas was definitely not an ordinary person and that he had definitely been through countless unimaginable situations!
“Lucas, I don’t care what your identity is. In any case, you’ve gained my recognition, and you’re my life savior. The Coles will forever value your friendship!” Edmund said firmly.
“Even if the Kingstons and the Smiths both want to deal with you, I will stand by your side and protect you even if I have to fight with everything the Coles have to offer!”
Edmund was righteous and knew to repay kindness where it was due. Lucas was not only his life savior but also an approved friend of his, he would never watch Lucas get bullied by others.
Although Lucas didn’t fear the Kingstons and the Smiths, he was still touched to see how protective Edmund was of him.
“Thank you, Mr. Cole. However, neither the Smiths nor the Kingstons can do anything to me, so you can rest assured!” Lucas didn’t say anything more because everything he wanted to express was done so in these words.
Soon, Lucas got up and bade goodbye to Edmund, who specially sent one of his butlers to walk Lucas to the parking lot outside the Coles’ manor.
But Lucas soon saw his terribly smashed and deformed Jaguar.
His face immediately became gloomy, and soon, a figure surfaced in his mind.
Nate Walker.
When Lucas arrived at the Coles’ manor and parked his car, Nate had suddenly called out to him and ordered him to move his Jaguar to make space for his car.
Lucas didn’t pay attention to him, so Nate must have been furious and thus smashed his car to give him a warning.
When the Coles’ butler saw the car, which was damaged beyond recognition, he immediately understood what had happened and inhaled sharply.
Although he had been standing a distance away and didn’t hear Edmund’s conversation with Lucas earlier, he had clearly seen the heartened and joyful smile on Edmund’s face.
Now that Lucas had come to attend the Coles’ party but ended up having his car smashed in their parking lot, it was… a serious negligence of duty on the Coles’ part.
“Mr. Gray, I’m very sorry. This is negligence on our part. I’ll have someone prepare another car for you. Once your car has been repaired, I’ll have it sent back to Orange County for you,” said the butler in his fifties.
Lucas checked the car slightly and shook his head. “That’s not necessary.”
Although his car looked like an extremely ordinary Jaguar on the surface, the various internal parts had actually been modified and strengthened.
The front windshield and hood might have been smashed, but it didn’t affect the car’s performance in the slightest.
But even so, Lucas was still in a terrible mood.
In particular, while he was driving his smashed car back to Orange County, he saw a Land Rover tailing him, and his mood worsened further.
The tall Land Rover wasn’t far behind Lucas’s car, and it began getting closer and closer when they reached a less-populated area.
Then at an intersection where Lucas had to turn, the Land Rover suddenly accelerated violently. The engine roared loudly, and the Land Rover started speeding straight at Lucas’s car.
Lucas had already noticed the Land Rover, so how could he let it catch him off guard and hit him?
Screech!
At the most critical moment, Lucas turned the steering wheel with all his might and then slammed on the brake pedal. The tires of his Jaguar rubbed against the road with an ear-piercing screech, and the Jaguar drifted away, narrowly avoiding the Land Rover from crashing into him.
The Land Rover couldn’t brake in time and crashed into the concrete pillar and guardrail by the roadside. An enormous dent formed in the hard front hood.
“Damn it. How are you so useless? You couldn’t even hit his car. You really deserve to die!”
At this moment, a young man was cursing incessantly as he got out of the backseat of the Land Rover with his hand on his head.
Clearly, during the impact just now, the man in the backseat had accidentally hit his head against the seat in front of him.
This young man was none other than Dallas, Nate’s top lackey, who had targeted Lucas at every turn at the Coles’ party.
He looked at Lucas with a sinister expression. “Lucas Gray, you’re really scheming!”
Lucas suddenly found it hilarious. “You’re the one who wanted to hit me with your car. I merely avoided you, yet you called me scheming. What does that make you, the person who tried to crash your car into mine? A vicious scumbag?”
“Damn it, punk, how dare you insult me?! Do you have a death wish?” Dallas flew into a rage and roared. With his roar, three burly men who looked like bodyguards got out of the Land Rover and lined up behind him.
“Aren’t you the one who has a death wish?” Lucas smiled and looked at the people in front of him as if he was looking at dead people.
At Alexis’s birthday party earlier, Dallas had repeatedly found trouble with Lucas. He eventually put himself to shame and even got chased out of the house by the furious Alexis.
First, Nate had smashed Lucas’s car. Then this idiot Dallas had followed him and tried to kill him with his car. These repeated provocations made Lucas feel an urge to kill Dallas.
“Hah, punk, you sure are used to pretending! There are only a few of us here, so save your breath. Do you think you can still fool me by claiming that you’re a scion of a powerful family? I’ve already investigated that you’re a penniless live-in husband sponging off your wife! What are you pretending for?
“I have three bodyguards with me, and I can obviously beat you into a pulp. You’re already on the brink of death, yet you still dare to be so arrogant in front of me. I’ll show you what I’m made of!” Dallas said smugly.
Dallas was the one who had requested to deal with Lucas.
From Dallas’s point of view, Lucas was just a swindler and completely no match for his burly bodyguards. Although Lucas was tall, he felt that Lucas couldn’t take a beating at all and that his bodyguards could easily kill Lucas.
“Have you finished spouting nonsense?” Lucas looked at Dallas coldly with a trace of impatience on his face.
“Hah.. Bastard, since you want to die so soon, I’ll fulfill your wish now!” Dallas laughed hysterically and ordered the bodyguards, “Go kill him!”
