Just as Vince was worried, Jordan suddenly moved!

He walked toward Vince one step at a time. The sinister smile on his face made Vince even more horrified.

What… what is he going to do now?

Is he going to kill me?

Wh-what should I do?

Countless thoughts were flashing through Vince’s mind. In fact, he was even thinking that if Jordan really wanted to kill him, he would kneel and beg him without any dignity. He might even spare him.

However, he wasn’t Jordan’s target but Steel-Claws, who was lying near Vince.

Steel-Claws was severely injured by Jordan’s punch, but he wasn’t dead. He was lying on the floor and vomiting large mouthfuls of blood.

During the fight just now, Jordan had fought Steel-Claws fair and square, using his own strength, speed, and proper combat techniques because they were both martial arts practitioners.

But didn’t expect that Steel-Claws would suddenly use a hidden poisoned weapon during the fight and try to kill him in such a sinister way.

If Lucas hadn’t reacted in time and knocked away the poisonous needles, Jordan would have probably been the dying person on the floor.

Jordan was full of disdain toward Steel-Claws’ behavior.

“Hah, so much for being a martial arts practitioner. Your conduct is so despicable!

“Since you failed to kill me tonight, it’s your time to die!”

Then Jordan stomped on Steel Claw’s chest!

“No, I—” Horror appeared on Steel-Claws’ skeleton-like face, but he could no longer say what he wanted.

Bang!

Jordan’s foot crushed the ribs in Steel Claw’s chest and the heart below them.

Steel-Claws, who had killed countless people, actually died!

“Steel-Claws died just like that?”

“I can’t believe my eyes! Is he… really dead?”

“No way! Steel-Claws has been in the underworld for decades, and even the top experts of top-tier families couldn’t kill him. But he actually died at the hands of a young man in his twenties.”

“I… I suddenly feel dizzy! This young man and the one behind him are too terrifying!”

…

The Stones and the Dempseys were utterly stunned as they looked at Jordan and Lucas in horror.

The two young men were unbelievably amazing! How terrifying!

“No! Steel-Claws died just like that?” Vince’s face was full of disbelief. He almost couldn’t believe the cruel truth before him.

Steel-Claws was the strongest combat power he could muster.

The Smiths were now divided into two camps. One was led by Tyson, the current helmsman; and the other was led by Tyson’s second brother, Thomas, and Thomas’s son, Vince.

Although Tyson had been the family head for years, he lacked talent and was purely lucky enough to have the help of Charlie, the great butler. Eventually, Tyson managed to become the helmsman.

But as the leader of the other camp, Thomas wasn’t convinced at all. He had always wanted to nab the position of helmsman from Tyson. Thus, they had both cultivated their own forces.

Steel-Claws was the strongest person on Thomas and Vince’s side!

But he actually died here today!

It was an absolutely massive blow to Vince!

Without the help of Steel-Claws’s incredible strength, it would be even harder for Vince and his father to seize the position of helmsman!

Looking at the pale and depressed Vince, Lucas suddenly said, “Vince Smith, you didn’t believe me when I said you were stupid. How about now?

“When you came to California some time ago, you behaved extremely arrogantly without paying any attention to the families in California just because you’re from the eight top families of DC. You kept declaring that you would conquer California and force the families to submit to you.

“But in the end, you were too arrogant and conceited. Your plan failed, and you were even forced to kneel and apologize to me. You ended up disgracing yourself and the Smiths, and you even lost your position as the successor.

“I originally thought that after all these things, you would learn from your mistakes and become wiser or at least not be so arrogant. But you’ve disappointed me again.

“You think you call the shots here in DC because it’s your turf, so you’ve become arrogant again and completely forgotten about the lesson I taught you last time. You thought you could kill me with the expert you brought, but what happened in the end?

“In the end, you underestimated my abilities and overestimated the abilities of the Smiths. This is all a result of your arrogance and foolishness!

“The last time, I let you off because you kneeled and begged me for mercy. Do you think I should let you off again?”

One step at a time, Lucas walked toward Vince. With every word he said, a few more cold sweat droplets appeared on Vince’s face. In the end, he was completely drenched in cold sweat and unable to utter a single word.

With Steel-Claws’ death and Vince’s obvious fear toward Lucas, Phil, the helmsman of the Dempseys, fell into desperation.

He suddenly knelt in front of Lucas and begged, “I’m sorry! Mr. Gray! I… I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have listened to the Smiths and made a move against you!

“I hope you’ll give me the chance to repent on account of my age. Please spare me this once! I… I can represent the Dempseys and pledge allegiance to you! The Dempseys will only obey your orders!

“I beg you to spare me!”

Phil pleaded in every possible way.

Instead of dying, he couldn’t care less about any dignity and decency now. He only wished to offer everything he had in exchange for Lucas to spare him!

In fact, in order to get Lucas to spare the rest of the Dempseys, Phil had made up his mind to use his death in exchange for a way to let his family survive.

But Vince’s sudden appearance once again gave him hope for life, and it also made Phil feel extremely fearful of death.

Now, he didn’t want to die at all. He just hoped that Lucas would forgive him. For this, he was willing to do anything!

“Hah, you’ve repeatedly tried to kill us. If not for how competent Lucas is, you would have succeeded long ago! Now that you’ve realized that the situation isn’t good, you want Lucas to let you off? No way!” Jordan sneered several times.

He absolutely abhorred the Dempseys.

Not only did they obey the orders of the Smiths and force Maddy to marry into the Dempseys, thereby ruining her lifelong happiness, but they had even tried to kill Lucas and him several times. Jordan would never take pity on this man!

Without even looking at Phil, Lucas said indifferently, “I told you you won’t be able to escape death.”

The moment he finished speaking, Jordan walked over, picked up the pistol that Phil had dropped on the floor, and pulled the trigger!

Bang! 

A hole appeared on Phil’s forehead, and he slowly fell backward.

The Dempseys’ esteemed helmsman was dead!
