Chapter 140: Chapter 140 - Hollow Status
He looked coldly at me and said, "Why? Because I am a three-striped member of the Chuzzle Battle Zone! Because my status is nobler than yours!"
Hearing this, I couldn’t help but scoff, "In the eyes of people like you, higher status means nobility, but in my eyes, everyone is the same, no matter their class or status."
"As for you, I already know from how you speak that you don’t deserve your position, let alone have me greet you," I stated coldly.
Daxon Lucas’s lips twitched slightly, clearly irritated by my words.
"Young man, mind your words," Daxon Lucas raised his hand and pressed it onto my shoulder.
I suddenly felt a force pressing down on my shoulder, while a smug smile appeared on Daxon Lucas’s face.
Without saying a word, I shook my arm, and an immense force instantly rebounded back!
Daxon Lucas’s wrist was instantly aching, and he staggered back several steps!
"A martial artist, huh," Daxon Lucas squinted his eyes slightly.
Lyla Lucas quickly reminded him, "Cousin, he’s quite skilled, don’t fight with him!"
Daxon Lucas shook his wrist and sneered, "How good can an ordinary person’s skills be? Besides, there are plenty of ways for me to deal with him!"
"I won’t stoop down to your level for now since I have a mission, but after I’m done, just wait and see how I deal with you!" Daxon Lucas pointed at my nose and said.
Feeling too lazy to bother with him, I stayed here only for the sake of Old Master Lucas.
Afterwards, Daxon Lucas went to sit on the sofa, and the Lucas family members surrounded him with praise.
"Daxon, who exactly is your commander coming to River City for? Give us a hint?" Holmes Lucas asked while serving tea and water.
Daxon Lucas said indifferently, "I don’t know, and it’s confidential, not to be disclosed casually."
"Daxon, what can you not tell your family?" Christian Lucas said from the side.
Hearing this, Daxon Lucas smiled and said, "I suppose there’s no harm in telling you."
Upon hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears, looking excited.
Daxon Lucas slowly said, "Our commander said that this person knows Chief Thompson, but there’s a slight misunderstanding between them. Otherwise, the one inviting him would have been Chief Thompson himself."
The crowd exclaimed, somewhat surprised, "What kind of person would warrant a personal invitation from Chief Thompson?"
Daxon Lucas smiled faintly, "In any case, it’s an outstanding person. I haven’t met him, but if he can have so many important people come to invite him, he must not be ordinary."
Having said this, Daxon Lucas paused and continued, "Of course, the people brought by our Deputy Chief this time are all elites within the battle zone."
It was obvious that he was boasting to show his position within the battle zone.
"Of course, I’ve always known Daxon would be successful since he was a child!" Holmes Lucas eagerly chimed in.
"Oh, Daxon is finally back, we must celebrate tonight!" Maeve Lucas added with a fawning expression.
The other relatives also echoed, "That’s right, we won’t rest until we’re drunk tonight!"
Just when the atmosphere was lively, I suddenly said coldly, "Old Master Lucas’s body hasn’t even turned cold yet, and he’s still lying on the bed. As his descendants, you don’t show any sorrow; instead, you celebrate, you’re really inhuman."
Upon hearing my words, the living room quickly quieted down, and the atmosphere turned somewhat eerie.
"Tsk tsk, what business is it of yours, an outsider, to act so filial?"
"Exactly, if you were really that filial, why didn’t you come back earlier?"
"We were nice enough not to kick you out!"
Daxon Lucas snorted coldly, "A son-in-law who married into the family really thinks highly of himself. Don’t you know what it means to live in the present?"
I glanced at Daxon Lucas and said, "Filial piety is the foundation of all virtues. You don’t even understand that, and you dare to call yourself an elite? I think you’re not far from being dismissed."
"Heh, sorry, I’m steadily rising in the battle zone, highly praised and appreciated by my superiors, and may be promoted at any time," Daxon Lucas said with a faint smile.
"On the other hand, you, a pathetic son-in-law, have been kicked out, and I bet you can’t even afford to eat."
I glanced at him and didn’t say anything more.
Soon, the funeral car arrived at the door.
I personally carried Old Master Lucas’s body onto the car, accompanied everyone to the cremation, and went through the burial.
It took all day, and by the time we were finished, it was already getting dark.
"Finally done, let’s go drink!" Holmes Lucas said with a grin.
"Tonight we must drink to our heart’s content, no going home sober!" Christian Lucas hooked his arm around Holmes Lucas’s, the atmosphere quite harmonious.
I glanced at them and deeply felt that Old Master Lucas was not justified in his treatment.
Perhaps Old Master Lucas had already anticipated this scene, and that’s why he told me not to deal with the Lucas family.
How sad it is for parents the world over.
Then, I drove to the Dragon Rising Community.
At this moment, two people were standing at the entrance of the Longyue Community.
These two men were tall and straight with an impressive demeanor, and between their eyebrows was an air of righteousness.
"Commander Gordon, I’ve never heard of this Mason Raymond before, why is Chief Thompson so insistent on bringing him into the battle zone?" One of the younger men asked.
The man called Commander Gordon laughed, "Ari, don’t speculate, Chief Thompson has his plans."
Ari Steele grumbled, "The Deputy Chief personally came to invite him. I’ve never seen such a big scene before. Anyway, I’m not convinced."
Commander Gordon was silent for a moment, then said, "Recently, Bernard Colton of the Colton family just lost to him."
"He’s just a scion of an aristocratic family. I could do that too," Ari Steele said unconvinced.
Commander Gordon was speechless.
Indeed, Bernard Colton’s abilities were good but not worth Chuzzle Battle Zone’s massive effort in inviting.
"Commander Gordon, you don’t know much either, do you? I suspect there’s some kind of conspiracy behind this," Ari Steele muttered.
Hearing this, Commander Gordon immediately scolded, "Don’t talk nonsense!"
Ari Steele argued, "It’s true! I heard rumors that Mason Raymond treated Chief Thompson’s illness, and there’s a big family behind him! Maybe he’s just a rich kid coming to the battle zone to gain experience."
