Chapter 254: I Like Kneeling Down

Hearing Lucas’s question, Tristan immediately raised his head proudly and said smugly, “Yes! I’m one of the Parkers from LA, and the current family head is Charles Parker, my grandfather! Are you afraid now, punk? Hurry up and kneel down to kowtow to me twice. Once you make me pleased, I might consider letting you off!”

Lucas smirked with some derision in his eyes.

Lucas was no stranger to the Parkers. Ever since he had acquired all of the Brookes’ businesses in LA, he had assigned Flynn to handle and manage them.

During this period of time, Flynn had been reporting to Lucas about his progress, during which he had mentioned the Parkers several times.

On the day the Brookes left LA, the Parkers had sent a junior of the family named Elliot over to try to create trouble for the Brookes. But Andrew had managed to trick him and fled.

Since then, the Parkers had been very active in LA as they tried to use various means and methods to seize the major businesses the Brookes left behind.

Although the Parkers failed to succeed because Stanley protected them and Flynn was quite competent too, it undoubtedly also brought a lot of trouble to Flynn and resulted in various disputes that almost got him killed.

If not for the fact that Lucas had instructed Stanley and Flynn not to get anyone killed, Charles and the Parkers would have probably perished.

So once Lucas heard that the man who kept pestering Lena was one of the Parkers, he couldn’t help but be amazed by how small the world was.

He hadn’t gone to LA to settle scores with the Parkers yet, but Tristan Parker had already provoked him.

Tristan thought that Lucas would definitely be scared out of his wits once he brought up his family and immediately kneel to beg for mercy. But he never expected that Lucas would remain standing with a peculiar expression and a mirthless smirk, making him really displeased.

“Punk, what’s with that look on your face? Are you looking down on the Parkers?” Tristan snapped in pique.

Lucas smiled faintly. “It’s just the Parkers. I really don’t take you seriously.”

It was not that Lucas was arrogant, but rather, he was competent enough to get rid of top families like the Brookes. Besides, his status and wealth were superior to the Brookes too.

In fact, if the Parkers hadn’t repeatedly caused trouble in LA and coveted the remaining businesses of the Brookes while hindering Flynn from doing his work, Lucas wouldn’t have even remembered who they were.

After hearing what Lucas said, Tristan was infuriated. He was born and raised in LA, and although the Parkers were not the top family in LA, they were considered one of the few higher-status ones. He had gotten used to hearing praises and receiving the deferential treatment of others.

This was the first time a young man dared to mock the Parkers.

“Damn it. How dare you look down on us, you fool? I must show you what we’re made of! Hit him! Make him kneel down and beg me for mercy!” Tristan hollered furiously. The two bodyguards beside him immediately pounced toward Lucas.

“Tristan Parker, stop!” Lena shouted. But the bodyguards were Tristan’s subordinates, so they naturally only obeyed him. Lena’s yelling meant nothing to them.

Facing the two aggressive bodyguards, Lucas merely raised his leg when they were about to hit him without even looking at them.

Their vision blurred, and before the tall and burly bodyguards could even see Lucas’s actions or sense his strength, they were already sent flying by his kick!

Clang!

Whoosh!

One of the bodyguards crashed onto a potted plant near them, which then shattered into pieces and stabbed into his arm.

The other bodyguard was even more unlucky. He fell into the cold water of the fountain in the center of the restaurant lobby. Not only did he knock the stone fountain over, but he also turned pale in the freezing water and couldn’t get out for a long time.

Seemingly not hearing the shrieks, Lucas walked over toward Tristan in a casual and relaxed manner.

Tristan was merely an incompetent scion of a rich family. When he saw Lucas clearly harboring ill intentions and walking toward him after kicking his bodyguards away, he couldn’t help retreating repeatedly. But there was a wall behind him, and he would soon reach it.

Pangs of panic engulfed him as he yelled in horror, “What are you trying to do? Don’t come here! I’m warning you. If you dare to do anything to me, the Parkers won’t let you off!”

Lucas ignored him and walked forward to grab his neck.

“I didn’t want to bother with a nobody like you, but it seems you have a death wish.”

Lucas’s cold voice rang beside Tristan’s ears, making his heart ricochet while a wave of fear suddenly surged within him. He tried to move Lucas’s fingers away from his neck, but he couldn’t do it at all. He could only feel a massive force clamping down on his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.

“If... if you dare to do anything to me, my grandfather won’t let you off! Hurry up and let go of me.” Tristan was flustered, but he still threatened him.

“Hah, I’ve already told you long ago that I don’t take the Parkers seriously at all. Why can’t you understand? Whenever something happens to you, all you do is bring up your family. What else do you have apart from your wealthy and powerful family?

“Didn’t you ask me to kneel down in front of you several times? Since you like kneeling so much, do so yourself!”

Lucas shook his head regretfully. Then holding Tristan’s neck, he pushed him onto the ground, causing him to kneel.

“Ah!” Tristan hollered loudly when his knees landed on the ground.

The physical pain was a minor issue, but he would never stand being forced to kneel in front of everyone!

In the twenty-odd years of his life, he had already made many people kneel down and beg him for mercy, but he never knew how miserable it was to be forced to kneel. The sense of humiliation made him wish he could kill someone now!

“Bastard, how dare you do this to me? The Parkers will never spare you!” Tristan barked while kneeling on the ground and struggling to break free desperately. He felt extremely humiliated, and his eyes were bloodshot, seeming like he wanted to devour Lucas.
