Chapter 909: Even More Interesting

Ezra quickly walked to Lucas’s side and said apologetically, “Mr. Gray, I’m truly sorry. Because of my negligence, I forgot to give you an invitation card and made you suffer mistreatment. I’m really sorry!”

Immediately afterward, he turned his head to face the two guards and rebuked, “What’s wrong with you two? Mr. Gray has already said that he is an honored guest whom I’ve specially invited for my grandfather. How dare you stop him outside the door?”

The two guards immediately fell to their knees and begged for mercy. “Mr. Ezra, we don’t know who Mr. Gray is, and we really had no idea that he’s a guest you invited! Otherwise, we definitely wouldn’t have dared to stop him outside the door!”

Ezra shouted, “Since you have such poor judgment, I don’t think you need to continue working here! Go to the finance department and collect your salary, then get lost immediately! The Howards won’t employ you anymore!”

Hearing this, the two guards didn’t dare to argue anymore and hurriedly got to run away.

“Hold it!” Jordan suddenly yelled angrily and stopped the two guards from leaving.”Make yourselves clear before you leave! Otherwise, if you dare to lie…”

He casually pulled out the steel rod from a guard’s waist, bent it into a U shape, and tossed it onto the ground with a loud clang.

“This is what will happen to you!”

When Ezra saw Jordan’s action, his eyelids trembled slightly, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

It seemed to be fear but also excitement.

Although the light in Ezra’s eyes disappeared in an instant, Lucas still saw it.

It seemed that this seemingly gentle and refined young man wasn’t as harmless and personable as he appeared on the surface.

But no matter what kind of ideas he had, it didn’t matter to Lucas.

The two guards were almost frightened to death by Jordan’s action. They shuddered as they subconsciously looked at Ezra next to them.

A trace of anger appeared on Ezra’s face, and he said to the guards, “Tell me what’s going on? If you dare to hide anything, I won’t let you off!”

A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes. His words were undoubtedly a warning to the two guards, warning them not to say any nonsense.

The men at the door naturally did not dare to offend Ezra. They frantically said, “We… we’re really just following the rules from the higher-ups. Anyone who doesn’t have an invitation isn’t allowed to enter the Howard residence. We really didn’t know that Mr. Gray is an honored guest of the Howards!”

Jordan naturally didn’t believe this.

He was about to force something out of them when Lucas suddenly said, “Enough.

“They’ve already said that they were acting according to the rules their superiors gave them. There’s no point in holding these two small fries accountable.”

Lucas suddenly smiled faintly at Ezra. “Don’t you think so, Mr. Howard?”

Ezra’s pupils constricted. He always felt that there was another meaning in what Lucas said, and he seemed to have realized something.

“Mr. Gray, you’re right. It’s the Howards’ negligence and our fault for hosting you poorly. Sorry to have made you laugh. I hope you won’t take it to heart.” Ezra changed the subject and gave himself an out. He dismissed the matter quickly and bent forward slightly toward Lucas. “Mr. Gray, please come in!”

Lucas didn’t bother with him. He brought Jordan in with him while following Ezra into the Howards’ manor with a smile.

Soon, in front of a luxurious banquet hall, Ezra stopped and said to Lucas apologetically, “Mr. Gray, this is where my grandfather’s birthday banquet is being held tonight. But there are still some urgent matters I need to handle, so I won’t accompany you in. Please make yourself comfortable. I’ll be back in a bit.”

Lucas raised his eyebrows. “Okay.”

After Ezra left, Jordan immediately said, “Lucas, there’s something wrong with that boy Ezra. He must have done it on purpose. Why didn’t you let me get the truth out of the guards and reveal his true colors?”

Lucas smiled. “No hurry. I want to see what he’s up to. If we exposed him just now, wouldn’t there be no good show to watch later?”

Jordan smiled sinisterly. “Lucas, you have a point. Since he wants to cause trouble, he definitely won’t stop at just blocking us at the entrance.

“Now, I think he deliberately made up an excuse to leave just now because he wants to create more trouble for us!”

Lucas smiled. “That depends on how much the trouble is. Wouldn’t it be interesting if he shoots himself in the foot?”

With that, Lucas walked directly into the banquet hall.

Jordan laughed and followed Lucas, not minding that things might blow out of control.

…

The Howards’ banquet hall was naturally very luxurious and spacious.

In the huge banquet hall, there were already many people from wealthy families in DC. They were all dressed to the nines, looking like members of the upper class.

The appearance of Lucas and Jordan immediately attracted many curious eyes.

After all, the people present were all from the upper-class circle of DC, and they all knew each other. But Lucas and Jordan were new faces, and there was no Howard to introduce them.

Although these two people were dressed very ordinarily, the fact that they could attend the 75th birthday banquet of the Howards’ helmsman meant that they were probably not nobodies. The crowd was wondering if they were heirs of a wealthy family from another state.

Moreover, Lucas’s appearance and aura were extremely outstanding. With a height of 1.85 meters and a handsome face, he was especially eye-catching.

At this moment, a woman dressed in a dark red evening gown walked toward Lucas. “Hey, handsome guy, it’s the first time I’ve seen you? Which family are you from?”

She was beautiful and had thick makeup on her face. She was gorgeous and ravishing, with a sultry charm that made her glow and stand out from the crowd. She should be in her late thirties, and even though she maintained her looks well, there were some traces of aging on her face.

Seeing this woman walk to Lucas’s side, many people in the banquet hall seemed like they were watching a good show.

“Hah, has Tiffany Pierce taken a liking to that hunk?”

“Tiffany is the chairman of Mystique Entertainment, and she has already slept with many young hunks in her company. She’s probably eyeing that young hunk and treating him as prey.”

“Tsk, that young man is probably going to suffer. Tiffany is a scary woman. He’d better be careful that she won’t drain the life out of him! Hehe!”

…

All of a sudden, many people looked at Lucas with some pity.
