Chapter 1118: Drastic Change in Attitude
When Trevor heard what Lucas said, he was subconsciously taken aback, and a wave of fear surged in his heart.
But when he saw the ten or so experts he had brought, especially the two elite bodyguards of his grandfather, he felt emboldened.
Indeed, he had already brought the Steeles’ top combat force with him, so it was unnecessary to be afraid of Lucas.
No matter how skilled Lucas was in martial arts, there was no way he could deal with the combined power of the Steeles’ experts.
Trevor burst into laughter. “Haha, Lucas Gray, just continue pretending to be impressive in front of me! Who do you think you are? How dare you say that you’re going to kill me? Don’t think that the Steeles will let you off for killing one of us in Club Illuma yesterday!
“Let me tell you. The people standing behind me are all top powerhouses of the Steeles. With them protecting me, do you think you can even lay a finger on me?
“Now, it’s not about whether you want to kill me but whether you can survive the siege of the Steeles! Now that you’re already on the brink of death, you’re actually still so arrogant. You really don’t know any better!
“Don’t worry. I’ll make you regret what you just said soon!”
Trevor shouted extremely arrogantly. Now that he had a large group of experts guarding him, he was much bolder and completely disregarded Lucas.
After hearing what Trevor said, the employees of the Stardust Corporation and the onlookers at the entrance seemed nervous.
In their opinion, although Lucas was the chairman of the Stardust Corporation, he didn’t have a powerful background or a big family as his backer.
But Trevor was different.
As a third-generation scion and the future helmsman of one of the top eight families in DC, he was among the upper class of DC.
In the opinions of the vast majority of people, offending anyone from the eight top families of DC was a death wish, let alone a core member.
All of a sudden, many employees of the Stardust Corporation couldn’t help being concerned about their future.
If Lucas was bent on offending Trevor, he would not only end up miserable, but the Stardust Corporation would also be implicated and possibly go bankrupt or be acquired by another company. The employees would then be in trouble.
At this moment, the most anxious person was Alexander.
Of course, he wasn’t worried about Lucas offending Trevor, but rather, he felt that Trevor was foolishly courting death by saying so many things.
“Trevor, immediately shut up if you don’t want to die!” Alexander hollered furiously, wishing he could rush forward to pinch Trevor’s mouth shut.
“Alexander, shut up! You’re in no place to speak here! If you dare to utter another word, I’ll have you beaten up too! Anyway, you’re no longer a Steele!” Trevor roared at Alexander, his voice full of annoyance.
Suddenly, Trevor’s cell phone rang.
He took out his phone and looked at it. It was a call from his grandfather, Greg. He chuckled and said, “Heh, it’s a call from Grandpa. He must be urging me to act faster and take this bastard back sooner!”
He answered the call and said proudly, “Grandpa, I’ve found Lucas Gray, and I will soon have his limbs broken. After, I’ll bring him back to the Steeles’ and leave him at your disposal—”
“Shut up! Don’t touch him! If you dare to injure Mr. Gray, you don’t have to come back to the Steeles anymore!”
Before Trevor could finish speaking, Greg shouted furiously from the other end, causing Trevor’s ears to buzz.
The volume of his voice was secondary. Most importantly, what Greg said left Trevor dumbfounded.
What does he mean I don’t have to go home if I dare to lay a finger on Lucas Gray?
Does he mean that I should never do anything to Lucas Gray?
But his grandfather was the one who had told him to bring people to capture Lucas! He had even obtained the unanimous consent of all the Steeles!
Wh-what the hell is going on here?!
Trevor hurriedly asked, “Grandpa! Didn’t we agree that we would take Lucas—”
“Shut up! You idiot!” Greg roared again, interrupting Trevor. “Anyway, immediately apologize to Mr. Gray and tell him it’s all a misunderstanding. Ask him not to stoop to your level and hold it against you. If Mr. Gray refuses to forgive you, you will no longer be a descendant of the Steeles. Do you hear me?”
Trevor was stunned for a long time, and his blood turned cold.
Although he didn’t know why his grandfather had suddenly changed his mind about dealing with Lucas and even wanted him to apologize to Lucas and ask for his forgiveness, as a scion of the Steeles, he wasn’t completely stupid.
Judging from his grandfather’s reaction, he knew that it was definitely because Lucas had a powerful backer who was so formidable that even his grandfather was scrupulous.
In other words, Lucas’s situation had completely reversed, and he was no longer someone Trevor could afford to provoke!
Trevor’s face instantly became gloomy.
He had just said so many harsh words to Lucas, but now, he had to contradict himself and even apologize to him and ask for his forgiveness. It was simply shameful!
But he didn’t dare to disobey his grandfather!
After ending the call, Trevor gritted his teeth and suddenly went weak in his legs as he knelt in front of Lucas!
Thud!
The sound of his knees hitting the floor was clear and crisp.
All the people watching were so shocked that their jaws dropped.
“Oh my god! Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Trevor Steele is a scion of the Steeles. Why did he suddenly kneel on the floor?”
“Wasn’t he just issuing threats? Why did his expression suddenly change after he answered a call? Now, he’s even kneeling in front of Mr. Gray. What’s going on?”
“Trevor is the eldest scion of the third generation of the Steeles, and he’s bound to take over as helmsman in the future, yet he’s kneeling? I can’t believe my eyes!”
“Wow, it seems what you just said is true. Trevor was really forced to crawl out of Club Illuma by Mr. Gray yesterday! I couldn’t believe it before, but now I do!”
…
There was incessant clamor in the lobby as everyone gawked at Trevor and pointed fingers at him.
Alexander was just as bewildered. Just a moment ago, Trevor was acting incredibly arrogantly, so why did he suddenly have such a drastic change in attitude?
What did Grandpa say over the phone?
