Chapter 647: Who is He?

Connor glanced at the young man with the square face who had just spoken rudely. After giving it some thought, he finally recalled that the young man should be Dallas Watson.

The Watsons were initially only a small family in California who had somehow managed to get close to the Walkers of San Francisco. They then developed and rose to become a first-tier family.

This was why the Watsons had almost become subordinate to the Walkers while Dallas, the scion of the Watsons, often followed Nate Walker around like a lackey.

Connor couldnt be bothered to pay attention to a lackey of Nate, who was extremely hostile to Lucas, and sneered. Who are you?

Dallas froze for a moment before shouting in anger, What did you say? You actually asked me who I am? You dont know who I am? I am Dallas Watson from San Jose!

Oh, I thought you were some incredible big shot. Youre making it sound as if everyone should know who you are. It turns out youre just a Watson from San Jose, Connor said indifferently, but his words completely angered Dallas.

Before Dallas could lose his temper again, Connor continued, Besides, you only belong to the younger generation of the Watsons, while I am the helmsman of the Hale family. Youd better watch your tone when you talk to me. Otherwise, dont blame me when I question your elders about the upbringing of their descendants.

As soon as Connor said this, the people around him were utterly shocked.

None of them expected Connor to be so hostile and relentless toward Dallas as to reprimand him for lacking manners right in front of everyone.

Even if the Watsonss strength was slightly inferior to that of the Hales, Dallas was following Nate!

As the saying went, to humiliate the protected was to humiliate the protector. Yet Connor reprimanded Dallas right in front of everyone, which was a blatant insult to Nate.

Although Dallas was indeed a little hostile to Connor, theyre actually about the same age, so its really not necessary to be so particular about rules and status, is it?

Exactly. Dallas is Nates follower no matter what. Connor Hale is being too harsh with him. Hes clearly out to embarrass him by saying that!

I reckon Connor Hale has probably become way too arrogant because he became the helmsman of his family at such a young age. He doesnt even show any respect to the scion of the Walkers. Hes really gone overboard!

Many of Nates friends, who were standing around them, as well as those eager to suck up to the Walkers, started rebuking Connor.

After hearing this, Dallas, who was already angered by Connor, became even more infuriated, as if he had been provoked.

Connor Hale, you only got to become the helmsman of the Hale family merely because your grandfather is old. Do you really think youre that capable and impressive?

How dare you reprimand me here? Fine. Im indeed just a junior of the Watsons now, and I dont have as high a status as you, but this man standing here is Nate Walker, the scion of the Walkers. How dare you be so rude to him? You wont even greet him. Arent you being too arrogant and cocky?

Dallas immediately mentioned his backer, Nate Walker.

Connor then looked at Nate and pretended to be surprised. Oh, Im sorry. So, youre Mr. Walker. I really didnt recognize you just now. Ive been too impolite. Im sorry! But seriously, Dallas, since youre so close to Mr. Walker, why didnt you introduce us just now?

Connors words were rather perfunctory, and anyone could tell that he did it on purpose. However, his expression was so serious that it made many riled up, but they couldnt find any fault with him at all.

This made Nate, who had always thought highly of himself and was proud and arrogant, extremely gloomy.

Connor, although you and I are about the same age, you probably no longer take us seriously since youve now become the helmsman of the Hale family at such a young age, huh? Nate wanted to make Connor seem arrogant and conceited so that all the scions here would develop animosity against him.

Of course, Connor wouldnt take the bait. He smiled and said, Nah, Mr. Walker, there are many outstanding people among people our age, such as young talents like you. In fact, there are some whom I look up to and are far superior to me.

He glanced in Lucass direction, took a half step back, and stood behind him.

Nate immediately frowned.

The young man in front of him, who was dressed extremely shabbily and looked incredibly out of place in this upscale party, seemed to have the ability to make Connor bow down to him despite already being the helmsman of his family.

Who exactly is this person?

Apart from a small number of good-for-nothings who really loafed around all day, most of them were good at reading people from their body language. Connors actions were not particularly secretive, so they all noticed what he just did.

All of a sudden, many became interested in Lucass identity.

Another voice suddenly sounded near them. Mr. Gray, so youre here to attend Miss Coles birthday party too. Had I known earlier, I should have accompanied you.

The person who spoke was none other than Kenneth Parker from LA.

He and Lucas had just met in the Heavenly Pavilion 20 minutes ago. Lucas had been there to buy some gifts, but Kenneth didnt expect that these gifts were for Alexis.

The people around them showed a trace of surprise again. Isnt that Kenneth, the scion of the Parkers from LA? Hes actually here too, and he seems to know that young man as well.

The Parkers had officially become the supreme hegemon of LA now, whose status and strength were even comparable to that of the Coles in San Francisco. With the rise of his family, Kenneths status was also much higher than that of many other scions here.

This time, more eyes were cast on Lucas.

Lucas raised his eyebrows and looked at Kenneth, not expecting him to be here too.

Seeing how bewildered Lucas was, Kenneth took the initiative to explain, Initially, my grandfather wanted to come personally. But when he heard that most of the guests were young people, he asked me to come instead, leaving the task to me.

Lucas nodded without saying anything.

Indeed, most of the people in the hall were in their twenties, which was about the same age as him. There were very few elderly because Edmund clearly stated that he wouldnt be attending the party, and he hoped that the young people could have fun on their own.

This was also why many elderly chose not to come at all and simply sent their younger descendants.

After Kenneth came over, he consciously stood behind Lucas with an expression almost as respectful as Connors.

This scene immediately made the numerous young people present even more curious about Lucass identity.

Nate, standing opposite Lucas and the others, began frowning.
