Chapter 825: You Said You Would Give Me It
In the middle of the meeting hall was a long, oval conference table, and Oscar was sitting in the master seat. Invincible Phantom Hands was standing behind him with a stern expression.
Compared to his previous state, Invincible Phantom Hands seemed a little pale and depressed. Clearly, he hadn’t recovered from the two kicks Lucas had given him yesterday.
The moment Invincible Phantom Hands saw Lucas, the muscles on his face subconsciously tensed up while a deep sense of fear appeared on his face.
Just yesterday, he had followed Oscar’s order to deal with Lucas, but he didn’t even manage to touch the corner of Lucas’s clothes. Instead, he had been kicked twice by Lucas so hard that his organs almost fell out.
If not for the fact that Invincible Phantom Hands had trained his muscles and bones for decades, he might have already died due to Lucas’s kicks.
Thus, as soon as he saw Lucas, he couldn’t help feeling nervous and horrified.
Sitting beside Oscar was an old man in a gray tuxedo. He was none other than Charlie, the butler of the Smiths who had spoken with Lucas this morning.
The other people standing around the conference table were all unfamiliar faces, but Lucas guessed that they should also be from the Smith family and Peak Constructions.
“Mr. Gray, have you already changed your mind and are planning to cooperate with the Smiths?” Charlie asked with a smile on his face.
The reason he got Peak Constructions to begin construction on that plot of land was to force Lucas to come over.
With a triumphant smile on his face, he thought that he would be able to see some regret and indignation on Lucas’s face. Unfortunately, Lucas kept a straight face without any emotion on it at all. He was much better at keeping his composure than some sly old foxes decades older than him.
“Lucas Gray, are you here to submit to the Smiths? Why are you showing a poker face?” Oscar said harshly while staring at Lucas with gritted teeth.
Yesterday, Lucas had picked him up and slapped him more than twenty times until his face became as swollen as a pig’s. Even now, the swelling hadn’t gone down yet. His face was still swollen, bruised, and extremely unsightly. Lucas had knocked out half of his teeth. When he spoke, air kept leaking through, and his speech became bizarre.
Lucas looked at Oscar like he was a fool. “It seems that I went too easy on you yesterday.”

As soon as he said this, Oscar’s body shuddered, and the numbing pain immediately returned to his face.
“You!” He was about to say a few more ruthless words. But when he saw the contempt in Lucas’s eyes, a sense of fear surged in Oscar’s heart, rendering him unable to utter a single word.
“Mr. Gray, I initially thought that you came to us now because you already figured things out. But from what you just said, it seems that you’ve made the wrong choice, and you’ve decided to go against the Smiths to the end?” Charlie said nonchalantly while looking at Lucas.
“I’m speaking to your master. Who are you to interfere?” Lucas glanced at Charlie indifferently, not taking him seriously at all.
“Punk! How dare you disrespect Mr. Charlie, the head butler of the Smiths!”
A Smith executive sitting beside Charlie immediately stood up, glowered at Lucas, and shouted angrily, “Today, I’m going to teach you how to respect your elders!”
Then he rushed directly at Lucas and waved his hand to slap Lucas.
The Smith executive had been brought here from DC by Charlie, so he had no idea of how powerful Lucas was.
He was just following his usual custom of doing his best to suck up to Charlie. He would slap everyone who was disrespectful to Charlie a few times. Seeing how rude Lucas was to Charlie, he immediately felt like it was time for him to perform.
“Stop!” Charlie’s expression changed, and he immediately shouted to stop the executive from courting death.
But it was too late!
Just as the executive’s hand was about to reach Lucas’s face, Lucas grabbed his wrist and twisted it, breaking it.
Snap!
“Ah! Ah!”
With the sound of bones cracking, the executive immediately shrieked in misery, resembling a pig being slaughtered.
Lucas snorted in annoyance. Irked by the shrill screams, he kicked the man’s chest.
Bang!
The executive immediately flew far away, slammed against the wall, and slid to the floor.
At this moment, he was like a dead pig, and blood was pouring out of his mouth, though he had already passed out.
Lucas stood still calmly, as if everything that just happened was trivial.
This scene immediately made all the people in the meeting hall turn pale.
With a casual twist of his hand, he had broken the executive’s wrist like it was a cucumber. And with a casual kick, he had caused the latter to vomit blood and fall into a coma with severe injuries.
If Lucas wanted to, he could kill them at any time!
Lucas stood in front of the crowd and said indifferently, “I’m here today to collect a debt, not to kill anyone. I hope you don’t have a death wish.”
Oscar’s face was streaming with sweat, but he still feigned ignorance despite knowing the truth. “What debt are you collecting? The Smiths don’t owe you a thing!”
“Are you suffering from amnesia or Alzheimer’s? You personally promised to give me the plot of land on the west bank of the Sierra River for free at the auction in Emerald International yesterday.”
Lucas pulled up a chair and sat down calmly.
Oscar’s face was brimming with fury. “What nonsense are you spouting?”
“Everyone heard it at the auction yesterday when you were lying on the floor and begging me to let you off. Have you forgotten so soon?” Lucas said deliberately.
Everyone else except Oscar and Invincible Phantom Hands looked at Oscar in disbelief.
The successor of the Smiths had actually lied on the floor and begged Lucas to let him off! Moreover, in order to survive, he even promised to give Lucas the land he bought at a high price of 350 million dollars for free.
He was the future helmsman of the Smiths?
Lucas’s words made the Smiths’ impression of Oscar sink to rock bottom.
Oscar remembered how he had been beaten up to the point of having his mouth full of blood, more than half of his teeth missing, and his face as swollen as a pig’s, so much so that he was unable to speak.
At the time, Lucas had also stepped on his chest, and while he was unable to speak, Lucas said that he would give Lucas the plot of land that he had bought at the auction.
Oscar originally thought that Lucas was just humiliating him, but he didn’t expect Lucas to use this reason to ask for the land from him!
It was simply shameless!
It was blatant snatching!
Oscar was about to explode with fury. “You said it yourself! I never said that I would give you the land for free! Stop daydreaming!”
The land had been auctioned for 350 million dollars. Why should he give it to Lucas just like that? He wouldn’t agree to it, nor would the Smiths!
“Seems like you’re planning to default on your debt.” Lucas raised his eyebrows and sneered. “In that case, I’ll ask you again personally. Did you promise to give me that plot of land or not?!”
Then Lucas stood up and walked toward Oscar.
