Everyone turned around to the sight of Lucian walking in, completely unharmed.
Lucian was actually completely fine.
Howard frowned, feeling something was off as he reached out to check Lucian’s body. Upon realizing that he was truly completely fine, suspicion rose in his heart at once. This couldn’t be. Judging from what the Jord family was like, Lucian had to have been injured coming back this time.
Even if he didn’t come back dead, he’d at least lose or break a limb or two.
“Get off, don’t touch me.”
Lucian shoved Howard off him with a disgusted expression, brushing off the handprint Howard had just left. He had never liked this family. It was bad enough that they did not want to help him, but there was no need to treat his mother like that.
“Oh, my son! You’re alright, thank G od.”
Lilian held Lucian in her arms tightly upon seeing that her son had returned, close to tears.
“Nothing’s going to happen to me, mom.”
Lucian comforted her with a smile. “Don’t worry. I’ve taken care of the Jords, they’ll never mess with you again.”
O
“My *ss.” Howard scoffed in disbelief from the side. “Did you go apologizing to them at their house?”
“Of course.”
Lucian turned around and glanced at Howard before speaking.
“Ha ha ha ha.” Howard laughed out loud in disdain all of a sudden, sneering coldly. “My *ss you did. Would you even be back in one piece if you’d gone to the Jords to apologize? I bet you just went for a walk and ran back here! I can see right through your little tricks, and I’m telling you to just apologize properly. You won’t be any match for the Jords if they blame you.”
The crowd grew abuzz with chatter, many of them agreeing with Howard.
Judging from Lucian’s power alone, there was no way he would have returned unharmed if he had really gone to apologize at the Jords. Yes, Howard’s hypothesis was probably right: Lucian had probably just gone for a walk, and returned.”
Lilian’s chest thudded harshly. “Son, we should just go to the Jords’ if that’s really the case. We’ve got to survive either way, right?”

“I’ve really been to the Jords, mom. Don’t worry.”
Lucian held Lilian’s hands, comforting her. “The Jords are no more than a third tier family, there’s not much they have to be co cky about. They even promised me to apologize to you.
“Are you an idiot, Lucian?”
Howard stared at Lucian in shock. “The Jords are coming to apologize to your mother? That’s hilarious. Who do you even think you are? The Jords can destroy you at the snap of a finger, and you think they’re going to apologize to your mother? Her? Really?”
Chelsea’s expression was even more condescending and mocking, staring at Lucian in disdain as she said,
“Look at this idiot of a veteran, he really thinks he’s someone! Do you think your position would be as special as the Infernal War G od? You’re just a useless ba s ta rd who struggles to even get a job after leaving the army. Your evil mother got jealous of me for having such a great son, and tried to get my son to sacrifice himself just to save you! The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, you can’t be any better.”
“And now you’re saying that the Jords will apologize to you? You truly haven’t learnt a thing from being in the army for seven years aside from bullsh*tting.”
“What an embarrassment.”
Even Yvonne cast a look of disappointment towards Lucian from the side. He should have just told the truth about whether or not he had gone, what was the point in lying? The Jords would be furious for sure if they found out about this, and then Lilian was going to take even more blame.
This guy was far too unreliable.
“Are you done?”
Lucian’s expression darkened as he glowered at Chelsea.
“Did my mother say anything wrong?”
Howard shoved Lucian harshly, his expression smug. “You’re nothing more than a useless bullsh*tter. You just said that the Jords were going to come and apologize to your mother! How could that not be a lie? I’m telling you, you can have my Audi parked at the door if the Jords really show up!”
“Out of the way, out of the way!”
Just then, an enraged roar sounded from the door.
Everyone turned to look, and saw Spencer leading his entire family over. Everyone else reeled in shock at the sight of the Jords actually showing up, and Howard cast a pitying glance at Lucian.
“The Jords are here. You’re done for.”

Howard was of the opinion that Lucian had not gone to the Jord household, and now they had come looking for him.
Many people were of the same opinion. They were positive that the Jords would never just apologize like that.
Lilian clutched Lucian’s arm anxiously. “Son, what are they here for?”
“Mr. Spencer, Lucian Gray is right here…”
Howard reminded Spencer out of good faith.
“Thud, thud, thud, thud…”
Spencer and the rest saw the ashen look on Lucian’s face, and their bodies gave a harsh tremble. They collapsed into a kneeling bow in front of Lilian without another word. Spencer was especially emotional, kneeling and kowtowing to Lilian three times harshly.
He did this at full force, practically cracking through the floorboards.
“I’m so sorry my son hit you. Let me apologize to you on behalf of that idiot, please forgive the Jord family.”
Silence… dead silence.
Everyone stared at Spencer in disbelief, especially Howard and Chelsea. Everyone was beyond shocked by the sight before them, unable to find the words to say. The Jords had not only shown up to apologize-they had gotten on their knees to kneel to Lilian.
Oh my G od, what happened?
Lilian got a fright as well, trembling and hiding behind Lucian with fear and terror in her eyes.
Everyone then noticed that every member of the Jord family had their left hand dressed and wrapped in bandages.
It was obvious that all their left hands had just been cut off.
Could… Lucian had done that to the Jords?
“Mom, do you want to forgive them?”
Lucian stared at Lilian with a big smile.
Lilian was thoroughly terrified by what was going on. She nodded lightly, saying to Lucian, “Let them get up, Son. This wasn’t a big deal, let’s leave it in the past. There’s no need to apologize.”
Lilian did not know what happened. All she wanted was her son to stay out of trouble. “Hmph.” Lucian scoffed at the Jords, his gaze radiating poison as he spoke, “Why aren’t you

thanking my mother? She’s forgiving you so easily, you ba stards.”
Spencer was overwhelmed, kowtowing to Lilian several times again before slowly getting to his feet.
Everyone’s jaws were agape.
The Jords were a third tier family in Sioux, and extremely powerful. How had Lucian gotten them into this state?
Howard and Chelsea realized that things weren’t right, and looked at each other before beginning to sneak off.
“Hold it.”
Lucian called out coldly.
Both mother and son turned around to stare at Lucian with an awkward chuckle.
“Didn’t you say you’d give me your Audi if the Jords showed up to apologize?”
Lucian asked coldly.
The Jords seemed terrified of Lucian. Howard did not dare to lie, and could only reluctantly nod.
“Spencer, get your men to destroy the Audi at the door. After that you’ll all be off the h ook.”
Lucian smirked coldly as he said the words.
