1243 Questioning

Lucas raised his eyebrows.

He didnt expect Brett to come so soon after Bruce mentioned him.

Could he have found out that Angus Hamiltons death is related to me?

Lucas instructed without hesitation, Bring him here.

!!

Regardless of whether Brett had found out something or not, Lucas decided to meet him first and play it by ear.

Soon, Brett was brought to the chairmans office.

He didnt come alone. There was an elderly man wearing a white long-sleeved s.h.i.+rt. He was Bretts bodyguard.

This elderly man was different from White Claw, but he was similarly dressed. It was probably the uniform of the Hamiltons top bodyguards.

But the one standing behind Brett looked a few years younger than White Claw. His energy was restrained, and he seemed much more powerful.

h.e.l.lo, Mr. Hamilton. What brings you here? Lucas said languidly while remaining seated.

He wasnt friends with Brett in the first place, not to mention that Angus had died in Lucass hands. Lucas was destined not to get along harmoniously with the Hamiltons, so he couldnt be bothered to feign politeness with Brett.

Brett frowned, displeased with Lucass att.i.tude.

But he wasnt here to make friends with Lucas today.

Lucas Gray, lets be upfront and honest. My brother is in your hands, right? I want you to hand him over! Brett said with a sullen look.

Upon hearing this, Lucas knew that he hadnt found out about Angus.

If he had really found out about Angus, he would have known that Angus was already dead and that there was no way for Lucas to hand him over.

Brett was probably just probing him.

Whos your brother? Mr. Hamilton, you cant talk nonsense. I dont even know who your brother is. Isnt that too absurd to ask me to hand him over? Lucas frowned with displeasure.

Brett sneered. Lucas Gray, you dont have to pretend with me. My brother, Angus, arrived in Orange County yesterday with his bodyguard. Ordinary people wont be able to get close to him at all, yet he vanished without a trace here. You and the Hales are the only ones who can do this in Orange County. How dare you say that my brothers disappearance has nothing to do with you?

Lucas, I respect you for being a good man, so I didnt get into a conflict with you yesterday. But this doesnt mean that Im a pushover! If you hand over my brother now, I wont hold it against you, and I can even let you and California off.

Brett narrowed his eyes and threatened Lucas, But if you continue being stubborn and refuse to let him go, the Hamiltons wont let you off! The Hamiltons are royals, and if we get serious, we can raze all of California to the ground!

Lucass face darkened as he said coldly, Youre really great, Mr. Hamilton. What does your brothers disappearance have to do with me? You actually came to me for his whereabouts and even used your family to threaten me. What a joke!

If youre here today for this matter, then I have nothing else to say. Go elsewhere to look for your brother. Youre not welcome here!

And dont think Im afraid of the Hamiltons because youre royals! You should have witnessed the situation at the Hales yesterday. Do you think Id be afraid of you?

Also, Im giving you another warning. California is my turf, and you and your family are in no place to act out of line here! You can try seeing if you can raze California to the ground!

Lucas spoke arrogantly without being polite to Brett at all.

Brett gritted his teeth, his face gloomy.

After angering Lucas, Brett saw that he was merely indifferent and domineering. He didnt seem guilty at all, making Brett wonder if this really had nothing to do with Lucas.

In fact, Lucass guess was right. Brett had come to look for Lucas today, not because he had found any evidence but to probe Lucas to see if Anguss disappearance had anything to do with him.

But if Lucas really wasnt the culprit, how did Angus go missing?

Brett was uncertain now.

However, the most important thing to do now was to locate Angus as soon as possible.

Brett pondered for a moment before his expression suddenly changed, from being overbearing at first to looking helpless.

Mr. Gray, Im sorry for offending you, but I was too worried about my brothers safety. How about this? I know youre the most powerful person in Orange County, and even the Hales, the top family here, take orders from you. So Id like to ask you for a favor.

As long as you help me find my brother, youll be mine and my familys friend from now on. And the Hamiltons will owe you a big favor! Brett said sincerely.

He cared about his younger brother, so he was extremely sincere when asking Lucas for help.

Of course, it was hard to say how he would return the favor.

But Angus had been killed by Lucas. How could Lucas possibly help him find Angus?

Lucas shook his head without hesitation. Im not interested in the Hamiltons favor at all.

Then he suddenly changed his tone. I know youve sent a lot of people to Orange County, but that displeases me. I can let you stay here for another two days, but after two days, all the Hamiltons must leave California! Otherwise, dont blame me for being rude!

Brett had almost never been spoken to so rudely to his face before, and Lucass threat also made him furious.

Lucas Gray, how dare you threaten me. It seems like you really dont take the Hamiltons seriously! Brett shouted with his jaw clenched.

Lucas moved the corners of his lips slightly without saying anything, but his gaze was full of contempt for the Hamiltons, seemingly telling Brett that he really didnt take them seriously.

In fact, since Brett had domineeringly gone to the Hales yesterday and demanded that the top families of California pledge allegiance to the Hamiltons, Lucas had already been very displeased with the Hamiltons because they wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h his forces away from him.

Later, the idiot Angus actually ignorantly tried to violate Lucass wife and sister-in-law. He overstepped Lucass bottom line and utterly angered him, leading to Lucas ordering his death without hesitation.

However, Lucas wasnt afraid of the Hamiltons.

He had instructed the Hales and the Coles to remain tight-lipped about Anguss death and clean up all the traces, not because he didnt dare to face the Hamiltons but because he didnt want them to hound him and bring him unnecessary trouble at this time.

Lucass att.i.tude infuriated Brett even more.

Lucas Gray, youre really arrogant! You want the Hamiltons to leave Orange County within two days? Hah, do you think you have what it takes? When the time comes, dont come crying on your knees to me!

Brett glowered at Lucas and then turned around to leave.
