Chapter 906 - After Taking Revenge

However, Jace vehemently refused to believe that the person who had been kicked out by the Huttons could have such power!

If he, an illegitimate son who grew up outside on his own, could become so powerful, then what would he, the successor of the Huttons who had received the most resources and best education, be considered?

It was absolutely impossible for him to admit that he was inferior to this illegitimate son!

Jace hollered maniacally, “Who are you to say that about me? Do you think he did all of this? It’s just a coincidence! It’s a scam you two illegitimate sons joined forces to pull off!

“That damned Lucas Gray is just an abandoned son kicked out of the family long ago! How can he compare to me?

“My father is the helmsman of the Huttons, one of the eight great families of DC, and my mother is a direct descendant of the royal family! With my status and position, how can that lowly illegitimate son compare to me?”

Jace roared himself hoarse to prove that he was better than Lucas.

But the only thing he could brag about was the noble status of his parents.

Indeed, not only did Jace’s father have a noble identity, but his mother’s status was incomparably noble. She was from a lineage of the United States royal family.

Thus, soon after Jace was born, he was immediately designated as the next successor of the Huttons. Later, Lucas and his mother were driven out of the family because they were an eyesore to Jace’s noble mother.

Therefore, Jace definitely couldn’t stand it that he, who came from such a noble background, couldn’t compare to the illegitimate son born to a shameless woman!

Although Roman didn’t know how many cards Lucas still had in his hand, he could sense from Lucas’s aura that he was far more powerful than what he had seen. Lucas probably didn’t even take the royal family seriously!

Since Roman had already joined forces with Lucas, he would naturally choose to take Lucas’s side.

In the face of Jace’s furious roars, Roman sneered. “You’re right. Your parents indeed have noble identities, and since you were born, you were at a peak that many people will never be able to reach in their lifetime. But what does this have to do with your own abilities?

“At the end of the day, all you can brag about is your parents’ status! Apart from this, what else can you do?

“To put it bluntly, even a dog born into a family like yours can still live a glamorous life. But did you manage to achieve that by your own abilities?

“But what about him? He was an illegitimate son driven out of his family as a child. He has no background or a powerful family to rely on. He managed to come so far with his own abilities, and now, he can even decide the life and death of someone like you!

“To this day, you still think he is inferior to you? Hah, you’re the inferior one!

“You’re nothing without the Huttons!” Roman said nonchalantly.

In his mind, Lucas was much better than Jace, a prodigal playboy who relied on his parent’s status and family’s power to throw his weight around and behave tyrannically!

Jace flushed red in anger, but he couldn’t find anything to say to retort Roman.

He wanted to say that Lucas was inferior to him, but the truth was too cruel. Lucas had the ability to make the Huttons suffer heavy losses or even face destruction within a short time. He was truly inferior to Lucas in this aspect.

“Ah!!! Y-you, just you wait!” Jace could no longer stand Roman’s ridicule and the looks the family members were giving him. He shouted with red eyes and ran out of the conference room.

Michael watched all this and could only let out a long sigh.

He said bitterly to Roman, “Roman, go tell him that I can give him anything he wants without hesitation, even if it’s my life!

“I just hope that he can vent all his hatred and anger on me alone. It was all my fault for what happened back then. So please tell him to let the Huttons off!”

At this moment, Michael no longer seemed to be the powerful helmsman of the Huttons but an old father who had become haggard.

There was a pleading look in his gaze.

Looking at Michael calmly, Roman sighed and said gently, “I’ll relay it to him.”

...

At the same time…

In a luxury suite on the top floor of the Luxe International Hotel of DC…

Lucas was sitting on a large and soft couch, looking at the high-rise buildings outside in the direction of the Hutton residence. But there was a touch of despondence in his expression.

He originally thought that he should be happy after finally taking revenge on the Huttons and getting Jace removed from the position of successor. Moreover, he even made Michael finally feel regret.

But now, his heart felt empty, and he didn’t know what he should do now.

He wasn’t happy at all either.

Is this the feeling of taking revenge?

Perhaps the reason his mother had made him swear not to take revenge on the Huttons and drive them to a dead end was that she had expected he would feel this way long ago.

Suddenly, Lucas’s phone on the coffee table next to him rang. It was a call from Roman.

“Lucas, he asked me to convey to you that he’ll give you whatever you want, even if it’s his life. He’ll give you anything you want to make amends for his past wrongdoings.

“But he hopes that you’ll take revenge on him alone and let the Huttons off.”

“…” Lucas was silent for a long time.

After ending the call with Roman, Lucas was still sitting on the couch and quietly watching the sky turn from blue to yellowish-orange before gradually turning dark. Eventually, it turned into a lively night scene with countless lights.

Lucas just sat like this quietly in the dark, pondering about various things.

...

The next morning, an extremely shocking piece of news quickly spread throughout DC!

Jace, the son of Michael Hutton, the helmsman of the Hutton family, was suddenly removed from his position as successor and replaced by a man named Roman!

The unfamiliar name immediately spurred many people to investigate his identity and details. Soon, it was discovered that Roman used to be a Hutton and that he was the illegitimate son of Collin Hutton. People also found out that he was the owner of World Entertainment City in DC.

For some time, discussions about Roman became the hottest trend among the top families in DC.

Lucas naturally wouldn’t bother with these matters anymore. He was now staying in the chairman’s office at the Stardust Corporation headquarters.

After the previous incidents, all the parasites remaining in the Stardust Corporation had been wiped out, and the Stardust Corporation, which had completely returned to Lucas’s control, was cleaner than ever.

“I don’t like the decoration of the chairman’s office. Find someone to help me change it. Also, I’m handing over all the future operations of the Stardust Corporation to you. Don’t let me down!” Lucas explained to Flynn.

“Got it, Lucas! I’ll definitely do a good job!” Flynn hurriedly promised.

At this moment, Jordan walked toward Lucas and said, “Lucas, there’s a person named Ezra Howard waiting for you outside.”
