After seeing Andrew kneeling in front of Lucas and begging him for mercy, the Brookes were even more horrified as they frantically followed suit and knelt behind Andrew. They started begging Lucas for mercy and pleading with him to spare them.

Lucas stared at the people in front of him coldly without any pity.

He had already given the Brookes too many chances. But unfortunately, they had thrown those chances away. They had even sent Stanley and the gunmen to kill him.

If not for the fact that Lucas was powerful and strong enough, he would have definitely been nabbed by the Brookes now.

If he was weak, the Brookes definitely wouldn’t have let him off!

At this moment, a few more people hurriedly came to the entrance of the Brooke residence.

When they saw the scene at the entrance, they were stunned for a moment.

All the Brookes were kneeling on the ground while around thirty gunmen were lying on the ground and wailing with blood seeping out of their eyes.

However, the shock was fleeting, and their expressions were soon calm again. As if nothing had happened at all, a figure walked toward Lucas and handed a folder of documents to him respectfully. “Lucas, all the properties belonging to the Brookes have been inventoried, and the valuation reports have been released. Please take a look.”

The person who came was none other than Flynn, the general manager of the Stardust Corporation.

The Brookes thought that the police of Orange County had arrested him, but they didn’t expect that he had merely taken the initiative to go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation. Flynn had actually already left the police station a long time ago and done numerous things in secret.

Lucas didn’t take the folder and instead said, “Bring them to Mr. Brooke and let him sign them.”

“Yes, Lucas!”

Flynn turned around and handed the folder in his hand to Andrew. “Mr. Brooke, we hired a team of senior auditors and appraisers to value all the properties under the name of the Brookes. The acquisition contracts are in here too. Take a look at them and sign at the bottom of the pages if there are no problems.”

Flynn didn’t give him any room for discussion, and there was an obvious hostility in his voice.

Andrew understood that Lucas was trying to acquire all of their properties forcibly. The acquisition contracts in front of him had to be signed regardless of whether he was willing to or not!

At the thought of losing the businesses and properties that he had painstakingly acquired over the past decade or so, Andrew naturally couldn’t bear to let them go.

“Mr. Gray, you… please don’t take all our properties away. I-I’m willing to cooperate with you. I can even give you half of the property rights as long as you’re willing to let us keep our assets…” Refusing to give up, Andrew pleaded in agony.

But Lucas merely looked at him calmly before saying, “Mr. Brooke, the fact that I am willing to spend money to buy your assets at the market price after valuation is moral enough. I could have just snatched them from you without spending a single cent. Or I could have also let your businesses continue being sealed until you went bankrupt within half a month. Think it over yourself.”

Andrew’s face was ashen, and it finally dawned on him that the sealing of the Brookes’ factories and warehouses, which they were informed of in the morning, was all Lucas’s doing!

He finally understood that in terms of combat strength, the Brookes were far inferior to Lucas. And in terms of authority and power, the Brookes were no match for him! It was all because he was too foolish to have underestimated him!

The loss of their business was the retribution that they deserved!

Andrew looked despondent, but deep down, he no longer dared to defy Lucas. While quivering, he took the acquisition contracts from Flynn and signed his name.

With his acknowledgment and signatures, all of the Brookes’ businesses, properties, and real estate now belonged to Lucas!

From now on, the Brookes would no longer have a place in LA!

Lucas left the Brooke residence together with Jordan, Stanley, Flynn, and the others.

On the way back to Orange County, Lucas suddenly instructed Flynn, “Spread the news that the Brookes have fallen. Whether the Brookes survive or not will depend on themselves.”

Flynn knew what Lucas meant and took out his phone to make arrangements.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Stanley had a complicated look on his face after hearing Lucas’s decision.

During the past ten years or so, the Brookes had been using Stanley to kill and carry out various underhanded schemes against many of their rivals and enemies.

In the past, the Brookes relied on Stanley’s power to behave arrogantly and unscrupulously. But now that they were facing destruction and Stanley had left them, there would definitely be countless enemies coming to seek revenge.

Could the Brookes still resist now?

But Stanley soon thought of the events that occurred today in the Brooke residence. Andrew had made his gunmen threaten Stanley and force him to make a choice while the rest of the Brookes humiliated him and cursed at him. He no longer felt any emotional attachment to the Brookes.

Just as Lucas said, the survival of the Brookes would only depend on themselves.

“Flynn, you will stay in LA for the time being and preside over the matters here for me. Clean up the Brookes’ businesses properly. Once you’re done, I have more important tasks for you,” Lucas suddenly said to Flynn.

Flynn was first stunned, but he was soon overjoyed. Lucas obviously meant that he was going to put him to important tasks!

“Yes, Lucas. I will definitely try my best to complete the task!” Flynn exclaimed with delight written all over his face.

Lucas glanced at Stanley. “What are your plans next?”

Stanley seemed hesitant.

Before he met Lucas, he felt incredibly ashamed and remorseful for what he had done and was determined to break free from the Brookes and stop helping them. Of course, he didn’t have the cheek to return to the Falcon Regiment. Thus, Stanley thought that he would go to a place where no one knew him and spend the rest of his life there.

But after he witnessed Lucas’s powerful strength, his heart was full of fire again.

He looked down again and said with determination, “Mr… Mr. Gray, I know that I’ve made many mistakes in the past, and I’m not qualified to mention the Falcon Regiment again, but I hope that I can stay by your side. No matter what, I will be at your disposal!”

Jordan’s mouth moved, seeming to want to say something. But in the end, he didn’t.

Just now, at the entrance of the Brooke residence, Stanley would rather die than continue to stay and work for them. His attempt to sacrifice himself to protect Lucas was enough to show that he was a real man who had not lost the spirit of the Falcon Regiment.

Lucas also had a good impression of Stanley. After thinking about it, he said, “Okay then. Since you want to work for me, I will accept you as my subordinate. You don’t have to return to Orange County with me. Since you’re more familiar with the situation in LA, stay here with Flynn. After everything has been taken care of, you may return to Orange County to see me.”

In the beginning, Stanley carried little hope that Lucas would take him in because he had done too many misdeeds that brought shame to the Falcon Regiment. But now that Lucas agreed to take him in and even assigned him to a task, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed. “Yes! I’ll surely accomplish the task!”
