Chapter 840

After speaking, Lucas sat down in his chair while Jordan immediately refilled his glass of wine.

Lucas didn’t seem to realize the uproar sparked by his words. He even continued drinking wine leisurely.

Phil was furious, but looking at Lucas’s figure, he felt nervous.

This young man in front of him was indeed a tough nut to crack.

Although the Smiths had said that as long as the wedding held by the Dempseys and the Stones could lure Lucas over, the Smiths would take action with the following matters.

However, now that his grandson Jessey had died in Lucas’s hands, causing a stir among the guests, the Smiths had yet to show up.

Unsure of what the Smiths were planning and when they were going to take action, Phil felt unconfident.

There was dead silence again.

“Father, they killed my son. The Dempseys can’t let them off! We must kill them and avenge my son!” Sylvester gently put down Jessey’s corpse and stood up with bloodshot eyes, glowering at Jordan and Lucas with resentment all over his face.

Phil frowned slightly without answering his son.

Lucas was the person that the Smiths wanted to deal with.

Although he hadn’t made a move yet and merely remained seated while drinking wine calmly, Phil could sense that the person that the Smiths wanted to deal with was definitely not easy to handle.

It would obviously be difficult to kill both of them.

Seeing Phil remaining silent without expressing his stand, Sylvester roared, “Dad, why are you still hesitating?! Your grandson has already been killed. Are you just going to sit back and watch?

“A direct descendant of our family has been killed, yet you won’t issue the command to take revenge immediately. If word about this matter spreads, how are the Dempseys going to hold our heads high?” Sylvester’s face was brimming with anger.

Jessey was his favorite and most valued son, and he was the most likely to become the future helmsman. He would never accept the fact that he had died here just like that!

“Shut up!” Phil roared and stopped his son.

As the helmsman of the Dempseys, how could he tolerate it?

But if he could kill Lucas and Jordan that easily, he would have gotten people to do it a long time ago instead of putting up with it until now.

Besides, the Smiths had yet to do anything. He couldn’t make a decision now and could only stay put and wait to see what happened next.

But Slyvester couldn’t understand Phil’s concerns, nor did he want to.

Sylvester only knew that these two people had killed his son Jessey, and he was bent on taking revenge for his son at all costs!

“Hah. Dad, since you refuse to take revenge for Jessey, I’ll have to do it myselfl” Sylvester gritted his teeth, and determination appeared in his eyes.

“What are you going to do?” Phil hurriedly shouted, instinctively feeling that something was amiss.

But Sylvester didn’t answer him but instead suddenly pulled out a walkie-talkie from his pocket and yelled into the microphone, “All of you, come out!”

A moment later, five experts in black compression wear dashed in from the entrance of the Maestro International Hotel!

As the son of Phil, the head of the Dempseys, and the future successor of the family, Sylvester certainly had people to protect him.

These people were hitmen whom Sylvester had personally hired for the sake of doing some shady things for him and fighting against the other possible successors among the Dempseys.

A large family like the Dempseys had many descendants. For the sake of becoming the helmsman, everyone would give their best to protect themselves or pull others down.

Sylvester wasn’t the only one who secretly had subordinates to protect him. The other members of the Dempseys’ direct lineage also had their own forces.

Sylvester originally didn’t intend to reveal his hidden trump cards, but he couldn’t care less about anything else at the moment. He had to avenge his son and kill the two people in front of him!

“Sylvester! You... How dare you hire hitmen?! Quickly get them to retreat. Don’t do anything!” Phil was infuriated.

He was the helmsman of the Dempseys who controlled everything in the family, but he didn’t know that Phil had hired these hitmen in private, making him exasperated.

Moreover, Sylvester was now disobeying his orders and insisting on attacking Lucas and Jordan. It made Phil, who had always been domineering and authoritative, feel that his authority was being provoked.

“Dad, since you refuse to take revenge for my son, I have to take action myself. I don’t care whether you’re dissatisfied with me or angry at me!

“Even if you want to deprive me of the position of successor, I must take revenge for my son!”

Ignoring Phil’s objection, Sylvester ordered his five hitmen, “Kill him!”

As he pointed at Jordan, the five hitmen charged at Jordan.

At the same time, sharp daggers appeared in their hands. They were determined to kill Jordan!

“Hmph, you’ve got a death wish!” Jordan looked at these killers rushing over and sneered without looking nervous at all.

Jordan moved his feet and immediately became an afterimage as he dashed forward to confront the aggressive hitmen coming at him.

His speed was much faster than that of the hitmen, and he reached one of them in an instant.

The hitman’s pupils constricted as he swung the dagger in his hand to slash Jordan’s throat without hesitation!

Smack!

But just as the hitman’s hand stretched out halfway, Jordan grabbed his wrist and squeezed it forcefully. Snap!

With a clear sound of bones cracking, the hitman’s wrist holding the dagger was instantly broken by Jordan!

The hitman screamed and dropped the dagger in his hand.

The next second, Jordan grabbed the dagger and slashed it across the hitman’s neck calmly.

Pfft!

A long and narrow slit immediately appeared on the hitman’s neck as his trachea and artery were cut at the same time. Blood instantly gushed out!

The hitman covered his neck and fell to the ground with horror all over his face. He began convulsing and wheezing. But everyone knew that he was dead for sure.

It all happened in an instant!

Before the other three hitmen attacked, Jordan had already killed one of them!

“How... how is that possible?!” Sylvester’s expression changed drastically. He was horrified!.
