However, when Jude was about a meter in front of Lucas, he came to an abrupt halt.
Reason being, he noticed that Lucas’s eyes didn’t contain the slightest trace of panic, nor was he eager to block and dodge like others. He even stood still in place without avoiding. This degree of mental fortitude in young people was extremely rare.
Jude stroked his beard and suddenly said, “Kid, you are indeed a bit different from others. How about this? I’ll give you a chance. From today onward, you will stay by my side and be loyal to me. I promise I won’t mistreat you. How does this sound?”
Frederick and the others, who were tagging along behind Jude, simply couldn’t believe their ears.
“Uh… Mr. York, we invited you over because we wanted you to help us deal with Lucas Gray. Why do you suddenly… want to accept him as your subordinate?”
Preston and Gaston were also full of astonishment.
Jude frowned in displeasure. “I don’t need your permission to do anything.”
Frederick’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly lowered his head. “No, no, no. That’s not what I mean. I definitely don’t dare to interfere with your actions!”
He naturally hoped that Jude would kill Lucas straight away and take revenge for his son. But since Jude wanted to let Lucas off, he didn’t have the right to oppose.
“It’s settled then! From now on, Lucas Gray is my subordinate. The Taylors are not to look for trouble with him again. Your feud is resolved, and no one can pursue this matter again! Frederick, you don’t have an opinion, do you?” Jude ordered sternly.
Frederick’s heart was full of fury, but he didn’t dare to refute him at all. He had no choice but to say, “In that case, we’ll go ahead with your decision, Mr. York! The Taylors have no objections.”
Since Frederick said so, the rest of the Taylors naturally wouldn’t disobey.
A somewhat chubby woman was glaring at Lucas with anger and indignation.
Gisele was really furious.
Ever since she knew that a top expert from the Peerless Martial Association had arrived at their residence to deal with Lucas, she had been waiting excitedly to watch him get killed.
The last time she was at Lion Restaurant, she had been displeased with a vixen-like waitress and had merely taught her a lesson. But she had ended up getting humiliated by him and forced to slap herself ten times on the face!
She had been bearing the humiliation in mind, and she would be infuriated whenever she thought of it.
Finally, the Taylors were going to deal with Lucas. Yet all their bodyguards were good-for-nothings who, despite outnumbering him, didn’t manage to harm him at all!
Then Jude, the expert of the Peerless Martial Association, was finally going to deal with Lucas. But for some reason, he decided to make Lucas his subordinate and even warned the Taylors not to harm him. She was really infuriated!
Preston looked incredibly sullen.
Unlike the rest of the Taylors, he knew very well why Lucas had suddenly come to their residence. Without a doubt, it was for Karen.
Karen was now in Preston’s hands!
If Lucas was really taken in as a subordinate by a noble man like Jude, whom they couldn’t afford to offend, he would certainly satisfy Lucas’s wish as a benefit for him.
In that case, he would no longer be able to hide the matter about Karen!
Moreover, there was a more secretive and fatal matter that he couldn’t let anyone find out!
The reason he had strongly encouraged Frederick to invite Jude over was to kill Lucas.
However, he hadn’t expected that Jude would take a liking to Lucas, making it impossible for him to harm Lucas!
Now, there was nothing he could do anymore. In order not to get exposed on the spot, he could only find a way to leave the Taylors as soon as possible and then think of another solution!
He looked at the people to his left and right. After seeing that their attention was all on Lucas and Jude, he quietly moved backward.
Jude said to Lucas domineeringly, “Okay, from now on, you are my subordinate. I’ll take you to the Peerless Martial Association later. You’re not allowed to pursue this matter any further either.”
He made the decision for Lucas.
Lucas looked at Jude like he was looking at a fool. “Who do you think you are? You’re in no place to make arrangements for my affairs. And you want to take me as your subordinate? Seriously, you?”
It was totally a blatant slap in the face!
For a moment, the Taylors stared at Lucas in disbelief with their eyes wide open.
He… he actually dared to speak to Mr. York like this!
How bold. He must be courting death!
Preston immediately stopped in his tracks while the resentment in Gisele’s instantly turned into euphoria.
They had thought that Lucas was going to escape by making use of Jude’s power, but they hadn’t expected that he would dare to undermine Jude in front of so many people. He totally had a death wish!
Jude’s face instantly turned gloomy.
With a dark face, he questioned sinisterly through clenched teeth, “Punk, what did you just say? Repeat yourself!”
Lucas stood in place and said slowly, “Are you too old to hear me clearly? Then, it doesn’t matter if I say it again. You are not qualified to make me work for you!”
Jude was instantly enraged, so much so that his face turned beet red.
The Taylors hurriedly chimed in from the side, “Mr. York, please calm down. This punk is just a fool. So many people are dying for a chance to work for you, but they can’t impress you at all. Yet this punk actually insulted you. He must be tired of living!”
“Yes, it’s disgusting! You intended to give him a hand, but he doesn’t know any better at all. He ought to be taught a lesson!”
“Mr. York, you want to groom a talented person, but this punk is horrendous! He’s absolutely crazy! The Taylor family has to stand up for you no matter what! He’s all alone now, so we can make him stay without your help! When we seize him, we will definitely bring him to you so that you can vent your anger on him!” Frederick hurriedly said.
Jude had been humiliated in their residence, and if they couldn’t let him vent his anger, he would probably blame the entire Taylor family too.
Since Lucas came alone without an expert like Stanley, the Taylors probably wouldn’t have to put in much effort to take him down.
Jude was furious, and he sneered incessantly. “Good, do it then. You must catch him and bring him to me! I will personally teach him a lesson and teach him the right way to talk to me!”
At this moment, he changed his mind to take Lucas as his subordinate after being mocked by him.
He didn’t need a disobedient and disrespectful subordinate!
He snorted and walked into the Taylors’ villa, leaving the Taylors to deal with Lucas.
He wasn’t interested in dealing with Lucas, who didn’t know any better.
Seeing Jude enter the villa, Frederick roared, “Where are the bodyguards?!”
Hearing his command, all of the remaining bodyguards of the Taylors immediately surged out and surrounded Lucas.
However, when Jude was about a meter in front of Lucas, he came to an abrupt halt.
