“Ah!”

Tony’s sudden outrage and accusation of Lucas cheating really caught Cheyenne and Lena off guard, and they shrieked.

But Lucas wasn’t surprised.

He had long seen that people like Tony were the kind of people who couldn’t afford to lose.

It was his turf in the first place, and he was accompanied by a lot of his henchmen and subordinates. Even if he refused to comply and admit defeat, no one would dare to say anything.

Unfortunately, Lucas wasn’t the type to be frightened by a tiny pistol.

“Heh.” Lucas suddenly chuckled when he thought of something.

This was already the fourth time a gun had been pointed at him in the short period of time since he returned to Orange County.

The first time was in Gordon Douglas’s Heaven Media. At that time, Gordon aimed his pistol at Lucas, but Jordan quickly snatched it from him, not giving him any chance to shoot at all.

The second time was during the Hale family’s baby shower, where all their henchmen aimed their pistols at Lucas and tried to force him into apologizing. Of course, the outcome was that all the Hales were brought away for investigation. If Lucas hadn’t decided to spare them in the end, the Hales would have ceased to exist in Orange County long ago.

The third time happened in the Brooke residence in LA just a few days ago. Similarly, all those who dared to threaten Lucas were stabbed in their eyeballs by pine needles and blinded. The Brookes also crumbled and were now fleeing in all directions.

Now, in front of him, Tony was the fourth person who dared to aim a gun at him.

“Hmph, you can still laugh out loud even when being held at gunpoint. I have to admit that I really admire your courage.”

Tony held the pistol and pointed it at Lucas’s head with a triumphant expression, as if he was already confident of winning. He was relishing in the feeling of being in control of the entire situation.

But Lucas’s voice remained unchanged, and he wasn’t in the least bit nervous or scared at all. Instead, he said in a composed voice like before, “Mr. Zander, I originally thought that you had character since you own such a huge entertainment joint like Little Atlantis City. I didn’t expect you to be such a sore loser.”

“Bullshit! If you hadn’t cheated and tampered with the cards, how could I have lost to you? Cheaters have to have their hands chopped off when caught cheating in my place!” Tony barked furiously.

“Ah!” Cheyenne was already incredibly nervous. After hearing Tony’s brutal threat, she immediately screamed in fright and quickly covered her mouth while a cold chill spread throughout her body.

She didn’t know about the previous times that Lucas was held at gunpoint. In her opinion, a gun was one of the most powerful weapons in modern society, and a bullet was incredibly fast. Almost no one could dodge a bullet!

She was especially terrified because they were now on the top floor of Little Atlantis City, in Tony’s turf, so it was impossible to even escape!

“Cheyenne, we’ll be fine.” Lena hurriedly grabbed Cheyenne’s clammy hand that was as cold as ice and comforted her gently.

In fact, she was also shocked. But she decided to comfort Cheyenne because she thought that Cheyenne was afraid that Tony would also exact those brutal means on her.

Lena was actually still more biased toward Tony. Besides, she believed that Tony wouldn’t harm her and Cheyenne, who were vulnerable women.

In the worst-case scenario, she would reveal her identity as the daughter of Ethan Sawyer, the richest man in Orange County. She reckoned that Tony would let the both of them off on account of her father.

Lucas was not the least bit intimidated by Tony’s threat. “If you can’t afford to keep playing because you lost too much money, I can return all the money you lost. I just want to take this woman away with me. As long as you comply, I can pretend that this gamble never happened.”

“Hah, impossible! You’ve made me embarrassed today, so how can I let you off easily?” Tony suddenly guffawed haughtily.

“Well then, what do you want?” Lucas asked indifferently.

“How about this? I’ll give you two options. First, you become my henchman and work under me. I won’t mistreat you. You can also take that woman away with you. Two, die here!” Tony stated his decision smugly. This young man is bold and collected. He’s definitely a rare talent.

Moreover, Tony was certain that Lucas must have tampered with the cards and dice! But he had resorted to intelligent tricks, so much so that Tony couldn’t even figure out how he had done it.

Therefore, he felt that Lucas was of great value, and all the more, he wanted to take Lucas as his henchman and use him as his greatest support.

As long as he had such a powerful henchman, it wouldn’t be long before he rose to become one of the big shots of Orange County!

Lucas didn’t immediately turn down Tony’s offer and instead pondered quietly for a moment. “I think we need to discuss this properly. Let the two ladies go outside. It won’t be convenient to talk about this with outsiders around.”

Then Lucas winked at Cheyenne, who was behind him, and hinted for her to go out and wait for him outside.

She hesitated for a moment but decided to trust him and proceeded to go outside and wait for him.

She knew that even if she stayed here, she would not only not be of any help to him, but she might even become his burden.

After Cheyenne and Lena left the room, Lucas was left alone with Tony and his henchmen.

Lucas took off the mask that he had been wearing for a long time, casually threw it on the ground, and then went to sit on the seat that he had been in just now.

Tony’s face instantly became sullen. Seems that this punk doesn’t take me seriously at all!

“Punk, you’re very brazen, huh! Aren’t you scared that I might shoot you dead if you provoke me?” Tony raised his pistol and once again aimed the black muzzle at Lucas.

But Lucas kept a straight face, picked up one of the dice on the table, and began spinning it on the table. “You just said that you want to take me as your henchman, but I’m afraid you’re not worthy enough!”

Hearing this, Tony flew into a rage and barked, “Bastard, how dare you fool me?! Do you think I really don’t dare to shoot!”

Lucas smiled and shook his head. “Nope, but you can’t kill me.”

There wasn’t even the slightest tinge of fear on his face nor eyes!

Tony narrowed his eyes and stared at Lucas for a long while before finally confirming that Lucas really wasn’t afraid that he would shoot!

He didn’t know if Lucas was just plain ignorant and arrogant or because he had a backer.

But judging from Lucas’s performance during the previous rounds of gambling, Tony didn’t quite think that he was ignorant and arrogant.

Does this mean he’s certain that I won’t dare to shoot him? Tony sneered. “Don’t be a smart aleck! You think I don’t dare to do anything to you because of all the people out there, right? Well, you’re wrong then! I’m the ultimate ruler in Little Atlantis City, and even if I shoot you to death in front of everyone, no one will hold me accountable! Do you want to try?”

Lucas glanced at him with annoyance in his eyes. “Are you done talking nonsense?”

Before Tony could have another outburst of anger, Lucas sized up the henchmen behind Tony and then fixed his gaze on a young man who was quite decent-looking.

He then said, “I want a new person to be in charge of Little Atlantis City. Whoever dares to step forward and kill this man will be the owner of Little Atlantis City from today onward.”
