The third time the two met was in the Lion Restaurant, where Gisele was having a meal with a gigolo whom she was infatuated with at the time. During the meal, they met a beautiful waitress who caught the gigolo’s attention, and he kept gawking at her. As a matter of course, Gisele taught her a lesson.
But Lucas turned out to be the waitress’s friend and even stepped out to protect her. He even forced Gisele to slap herself ten times, greatly shaming her.
From that day on, Lucas became the person Gisele hated the most, and she wished she could kill him immediately.
The fourth time they met was when Lucas came to the Taylor residence to question Preston and demand that he hand Karen over. At the time, Gisele mocked Lucas for being a fool and taking the initiative to come to her door to seek death. She thought that she could finally avenge herself for the
humiliation she had suffered at his hands previously.
But she didn’t expect Lucas to have such terrifying strength. Not only did he beat the Taylors’ bodyguards alone, but he even easily defeated Jude, the expert the Taylors had specially invited from the Peerless Martial Association.
Gisele didn’t actually witness the battle between Lucas and Jude in the villa that day. But afterward, Lucas left the Taylors’ unscathed, while Jude, the martial arts expert of the Peerless Martial Association, never appeared again. This was enough to explain the result.
From that day on, Gisele understood that she would probably never be able to take revenge on Lucas.
Even the expert of the Peerless Martial Association was killed by Lucas, so what else could she do?
The fifth time they met was at the Elite Business Exchange in California more than a week ago.
Lucas was the center of attention at the exchange.
‘When she saw that the experts of the Kingstons, the Walkers, and the Smiths were going to deal with Lucas, Gisele was exhilarated, thinking that she could finally see him being taught a lesson and put to death. But she ended up being disappointed.
Lucas’s strength was so terrifying that he defeated the several experts one after another, and even bullets couldn’t do anything to him.
In fact, Lucas even managed to force Vince Smith to get on his knees and apologize to him in front of so many top families before eventually becoming the Master of California!
When the family heads all knelt down on one knee in front of Lucas and addressed him as the Master of California, Gisele was on the verge of yelling in exasperation, but she didn’t dare to. In the end, she could only humiliatingly follow behind the Taylors and get down on one knee in front of Lucas,
whom she hated.
Upon hearing her grandfather’s sudden question about her opinion of Lucas, she really had mixed feelings and an ominous hunch.
Truth be told, of course she wanted Lucas to die immediately. But by now, she also understood that this was only something she could think about in her head. Lucas was so strong that even the helmsmen of the 60-odd top families of California were subservient to him, and the same was true of the
Taylors. Thus, if she badmouthed Lucas now, she would only make her grandfather dislike her.
“Lucas Gray… I think he’s indeed a powerful person since he has become the Master of California at a young age without his family’s help. I’m afraid it’s difficult to find such a person out of a million people,” Gisele said reluctantly with her head hung low.
No matter how much Gisele hated Lucas, she could only admit that he was indeed very outstanding.
Frederick looked at Gisele, who had her head lowered, and thought that she had to be shy. He smiled. “Hehe, indeed, many girls should like a young and talented man like Lucas Gray.”
He looked at Gisele and suddenly said, “Gisele, would you agree if I asked you to become Lucas’s woman?”
“What?!” Gisele abruptly raised her head with shock all over her face. “Grandpa, what are you saying? He…”
But before she could finish, a strong chill suddenly surged in the Taylors’ courtyard, and a figure appeared like a menacing god descending.
“Who’s there?!” Frederick shouted angrily and subconsciously pulled Gisele behind himself to shield her. At the same time, a dozen bodyguards immediately poured from the corners of the courtyard to surround the figure that suddenly appeared.
But the aura emanating from the figure was extremely strong. He was just like a fierce beast wanting to devour others, making the Taylors’ bodyguards feel as though they were facing a formidable enemy, and they didn’t dare to act rashly.
Frederick was shocked and furious, but the figure was obviously not to be trifled with, so he tried his best to ask calmly, “Who are you? Why did they suddenly barge into the Taylors’ late at night?”
“Are you Frederick Taylor, the helmsman of the Taylors?”
The person who came stood on the courtyard wall that was more than two meters high like a god looking down at the Taylors in the courtyard.
His voice was extremely cold, seemingly filled with the snowy wind of winter.
The person had obviously come for the Taylors with hostile intentions!
This made Frederick keep his guard up.
“Who exactly are you? Why are you here?” Frederick asked cautiously with narrowed eyes.
“I’m Julian York from the Peerless Martial Association. Jude York is my brother. Do you know who I am now?” Bruno said coldly and arrogantly.
Boom!
As soon as he heard Julian’s name, Frederick immediately felt his scalp turn numb and his heart pound rapidly.
The person who came was Jude’s brother!
In that case, Julian had to be here to take revenge.
The scene that had occurred in the Taylor residence surfaced in Frederick’s mind again. He knew clearly just how Jude had died and how the corpse had been dealt with!
But he knew that he couldn’t breathe a word about what had happened that day. Otherwise, the Taylors would all die today!
Enduring his horror, he gulped several times before forcing himself to smile calmly. “It turns out that you’re Mr. Jude York’s brother. I’m sorry! Please come down to my humble abode and let me host you.”
“Haha!” Julian sneered furiously. “Screw you! I didn’t come here to have tea with a small fry like you. The last time Jude appeared was in your house. Later, he went missing and seemed to have been killed. Let me ask you. Was he killed or not?”
Julian had an extremely terrifying aura, so much so that the bodyguards surrounding him couldn’t help taking two steps back, not daring to get close to him..
