1245 No Longer Afraid

Jensen Hamilton? Lucas raised his brows slightly.

Edmund gave Lucas the information about the Hamiltons that he had gathered over the past few days. Yes. Jensen Hamilton is the third son of the current helmsman of the Hamilton family. But he has always shown talent in martial arts, and he isnt any worse than the experts of the Hamiltons.

Jensen is the youngest son of the Hamiltons helmsman, so he has been greatly favored by the Hamiltons since he was a child. Now, among the three sons, Jensens seems to be the most likely to take over as helmsman, rather than his elder brothers.

Anyway, this man is hard to deal with, and he has even brought a group of the Hamiltons experts with him to Orange County. This is a ma.s.sive threat. Mr. Gray, you must be careful!

!!

Lucas said non-commitally, Alright.

In fact, he didnt take Jensen seriously at all.

No matter how skilled he was, he wouldnt be a match for Lucas. After all, he was just a son of the Hamiltons helmsman, not a pure martial artist.

Besides, Lucas was the former captain of the Falcon Regiment and had equal status to the Hamiltons helmsman. Since Jensen was the helmsmans son, he was one notch inferior to Lucas, and Lucas wouldnt be afraid of him.

At this moment, at Orange County International Airport, a group of people arrived at the airport terminal.

Brett, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately walked to the leading middle-aged man with bright eyes. Dad!

Clearly, the tall and robust middle-aged man was Jensen Hamilton, Bretts father.

After getting inside Bretts car, Jensen immediately asked, Have you not found Angus yet?

Brett lowered his head guiltily and said in a low voice, Im too incompetent. I deployed all the Hamiltons nearby available staff and almost turned Orange County upside down, but I still couldnt get any news of Angus.

Looking at Bretts haggard and bloodshot eyes, Jensen knew that his son had indeed done his best, so he didnt blame him.

Dont worry. Well definitely find Angus! Jensen patted his son on his shoulder and then suddenly asked, Hows your mission going? Have you conquered all those states?

Brett immediately answered, Ive conquered Oregon, Arizona, and Nevada. The families there dont dare to disobey the Hamiltons, but things arent going well in California. Weve encountered a bunch of tough nuts.

There are actually tough nuts here? Jensen was instantly puzzled. Who are they? Is there another royal family branch going against us?

Brett shook his head. No, speaking of which, this person has quite a background. His name is Lucas Gray, and hes only in his twenties. Hes an illegitimate child of the Huttons, who are one of the eight top families of DC. After he got kicked out by the Huttons two decades ago, he ended up in Orange County.

But he should have encountered something special. He used to be an ordinary person, but he went missing for six years and only returned to Orange County half a year ago. Yet within such a short period of time, he managed to become the greatest big shot in California, and even the helmsmen of the Hales and the Coles pledged allegiance to him.

But my subordinates cant find out where he went and what he did when he disappeared. Theres no information about him at all!

Thats not all. Mateo told me that Lucas Gray is a terrifying expert whose martial arts skills are on par with his. Even the experts of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation have been defeated by him. Thus, he attained the t.i.tle of the Overlord of California.

Brett told Jensen all the important information about Lucas that he had found.

Jensen was rather indifferent and aloof at first. But after he heard about the drastic changes Lucas had undergone in the six years he had vanished, as well as how even the Hamiltons intelligence network couldnt find out what had happened to him during those six years, his expression changed greatly.

Brett knew that something was up and quickly frantically asked, Dad, do you know something? Or do you have any guesses in mind? Who exactly is he?

After thinking about it, Jensen said seriously, As far as I know, people like him who have gone missing for several years and whose information even the Hamiltons cant get hold of are very likely to be from the military. Moreover, he held a high position!

Military? A high position? Bretts expression changed uncontrollably.

It seemed unlikely at first, but after thinking about it, he realized that it seemed to be the only possibility.

Even the Hamiltons couldnt find any information about Lucas and what he had done during those six years. Clearly, his experience was absolutely cla.s.sified.

Jensen continued, If hes just an ordinary high-ranking military personnel, the Hamiltons wont be afraid. But through the information youve given me, I have a bad premonition.

Lucas Gray is probably not just an ordinary high-ranking military personnel. He might very likely be someone close to the supreme commanders of the four major territories!

Brett opened his mouth with a dumbfounded expression.

The US was divided into four territories, the south, east, west, and north, and there was a supreme commander for each of the four territories. The supreme commanders were extremely powerful and commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Even the top leaders of the US were only equivalent in status to the supreme commanders, and even the Hamiltons didnt dare to easily confront one of them.

If Lucas really had such a high status, it would explain why he was so fearless toward the Hamiltons.

Likewise, Lucas wasnt someone that Brett could deal with.

Even if Lucas was only a follower of one of the supreme commanders, he still had the support of the supreme commander, and ordinary people couldnt afford to offend him.

Strictly speaking, Lucass ident.i.ty and status were on par with his fathers.

When Brett thought of this, his face became even more sullen. Dad, if Lucas Gray really has such a high status, what what should we do?

Jensen sneered. Even if hes close to a supreme commander, we dont have to be afraid of him!

Now, the most important thing for us to do is to take complete control of California. Only in this way can the Hamiltons power be expanded. We might even be able to become one of the top royal family branches!

Even if Lucas Gray used to have a high status, hes left the military now, and his authority must have decreased greatly. His former backer, one of the supreme commanders, might not necessarily help him either.

So, he must be alone now. In that case, why should we be afraid of him? As long as we kill him and hide the news, no one will speak up for him. Even the supreme commander wont confront us over a dead man whos left the military!

Brett came to a sudden realization. Thats right! He has already left the military, and his former ident.i.ty and status no longer count. Who is he to go against the Hamiltons?

After figuring this out, Brett became a lot less scrupulous toward Lucas and even no longer saw him as a threat.

This time, Jensen had come personally with many experts. He thought that Lucas was definitely dead meat!
