Chapter 248 A Fearsome Presence

“I heard you called the young man of the Johnson family?”

“Yes,” Jimmy replied vaguely. “You know that this is not in our territory. In Seaxas, we have to showsome respect to the Johnson family.”

Upon hearing this, Davids’s indifferent eyes moved.

But only for a moment.

At this moment, Lucas was led into their booth by the manager.

Lucas’s gaze swept past Jimmy and Landon before finally landing on David.

He narrowed his eyes, and a complicated expression flashed across the depths of his eyes.

None of the three people in front of him were people he could provoke casually, especially David, whowas sitting in the corner.

He greeted them one by one. “Mr. Shain, Mr. Walker.”

Landon raised his glass and toasted him. Then, he gestured for him to sit beside Jimmy.

Lucas walked over and sat down in a manner neither servile nor overbearing, but his gaze kept landingon David.

He felt like he had seen this person somewhere before.

But he couldn’t remember for a moment.

Coincidentally, Landon handed him a glass of wine.

He reached out to take it. When he raised his head to drink, he slowly looked at David again from thecorner of his eye.

The man sat on the sofa casually. The collar of his shirt was slightly open, revealing his beautifulcollarbone lines, revealing a hint of fierceness and

wildness.

He exuded a natural noble aura, and the pressure around him was difficult to ignore. Even as he satthere motionless, he was inexplicably submissive.

David seemed to have sensed something and looked over.

Lucas suddenly froze when he met that pair of cold eyes that were as deep as a cold lake.

However, he did not look like a deserter who had lost his armor. Instead, he met the man’s eyesfearlessly.

“That’s Mr. Jones,” Landon introduced to Lucas. “You can call him David.”

When Lucas heard this, a hint of understanding flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Whether it was Landon in front of him, Jimmy, who was drinking and having fun, or “Mr. Jones” here,they all came from a place beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Aureliana!

Located in North Ordax, it was not a city, but a large state composed of many cities.

It didn’t belong to any country in North Ordax, nor to any country or institution in the world. Instead, itwas an independent region.

And Aureliana’s intelligence was highly classified.

Therefore, other than the heads of corporations and the leaders of various countries, the outside worldwas unaware of the existence of this place. Legend had it that there were once ancient Four Families inAureliana, but they suffered riots in the continent decades ago.

At that time, many forces were eyeing them covetously, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the chaos in the continent subsided and Four Families in thecontinent were reshuffled overnight.

As for the existence of the Jones family, it was an existence that even the Elders in Aureliana had to bewary of!

Lucas’s eyes flashed as he finished the wine in his glass..

As more and more people came, the atmosphere became more and more lively, so everyone startedplaying dice.

As the saying went, people were in high spirits when involved in happy events. By rights, they shouldhave had good luck, too. However, Jimmy was extremely unlucky.

Before long, all the wine on the table was in his stomach.

“Mr. Johnson, you’re in luck tonight.” Jimmy had a cigarette in the corner of

his mouth as he looked at Lucas meaningfully.

Lucas smiled and said calmly, “I was just lucky.”

Landon’s smile was very annoying. He looked at Jimmy with a provocative gaze. “Dude, don’t replace anexcuse for losing! If you’re willing to bet, admit defeat! Drink quickly!”

“Sure!” Jimmy put out his cigarette and rolled up his sleeves, resisting the urge to flip the table as hesaid, “I’ve never been afraid of anyone when it comes to drinking!“
