Chapter 1244
1244 Asking for Aid
After looking for Lucas today, Brett had not only failed to find out where his younger brother was, but he didn’t get Lucas’s help either. Instead, he ended up infuriated, so he naturally didn’t want to stay here to waste his breath on nonsense.
After leaving the Stardust Corporation office, Brett turned around to look at the building and shouted with a resentful expression, “Lucas Gray, it looks like you want to do this the hard way! How dare you go against the Hamiltons? Let’s see how you’re going to die!”
The elderly man in white following Brett had been silent all this time, but he suddenly said, “Mr. Brett, this young man named Lucas Gray is extraordinary. His martial arts skills are very good, maybe as good as mine!”
“What did you say?!” Brett’s expression instantly changed, his eyes wide in shock.
!!
The elderly man in white beside him was Mateo, one of the top ten experts of the Hamiltons.
Ever since the helmsman had arranged for this powerful bodyguard to protect him, Brett had become the envy of many family members, and he felt a greater sense of security.
With Mateo by his side, Brett was almost fearless of anyone, and he didn’t have to bring extra bodyguards with him everywhere he went.
But Mateo actually said that Lucas’s martial arts skills were on par with his.
How was this possible?!
Mateo was already in his fifties, and he was from a family of martial arts practitioners. He had been practicing martial arts since he was a few years ago, and only then did he acquire the terrifying strength he had now.
Lucas was only around 27 or 28 years old, which was a few years younger than Brett. He didn’t look very strong either, so Brett didn’t believe that he had combat strength comparable to Mateo’s.
It was simply a fantasy!
“Mateo, did you sense it correctly? How can Lucas Gray compare to you?” Brett didn’t believe it at all.
Mateo nodded solemnly. “I’m not mistaken. I can sense that he’s absolutely a top expert, even though his aura is hidden. He’s terrifyingly powerful, so you mustn’t underestimate him! I’m afraid even I won’t be able to take a head-on blow from him.”
Mateo’s words made Brett’s face turn grim.
He knew that Mateo wasn’t the type to make frivolous comments. Since he had said so, it must be true.
He didn’t expect Lucas to be such a top powerhouse at such a young age. In that case, many things would become much trickier.
“Got it. It seems like with our current forces, we really can’t take over California from Lucas Gray. I’ll have to ask the family to send some more top experts to help!” Brett said seriously.
After leaving the Stardust Corporation, Brett continued to instruct his subordinates to search for Angus. They had almost scoured all of Orange County.
Unfortunately, they still couldn’t find any clues about Angus.
He and White Claw seemed to have vanished into thin air without leaving any traces.
Even Brett couldn’t help feeling anxious.
He had already gathered all the experts of the Hamiltons in the surrounding states and launched an intensive search for Angus, but there were still no results.
Even if Angus was dead, he wanted to see his corpse. But now, they didn’t even know if Angus was dead or alive. There was no news about him at all.
This could only mean that someone was deliberately covering up the matter about Angus and had even wiped out all the traces to make sure they couldn’t find anything.
Since this person could do this, he definitely wasn’t an ordinary person!
Previously, Brett suspected that Lucas was getting up to some tricks. But now, he wondered if some other royal family branch was involved in this.
After all, the families of Orange County shouldn’t be powerful enough to cover up everything and get rid of all the traces so well despite the Hamiltons’ search!
Brett scratched his head anxiously. Did Angus offend some formidable figure? But he shouldn’t have!
Although there were a few big shots who didn’t care about offending the Hamiltons, these important figures wouldn’t just kill Angus silently and not inform the Hamiltons.
After a futile day of searching, Brett had no choice but to report the situation to his father, Jensen, at night.
“What did you say? Angus went missing in Orange County, and he’s still nowhere to be found?” Jensen flew into an uncontrollable rage, and his voice was so thunderous that his phone almost broke.
“Someone there actually has the guts to hurt my son?!”
Brett moved his phone slightly away from his ear. After Jensen finished shouting, he said, “Dad, calm down. Angus is a Hamilton, and even top families wouldn’t dare to hurt him. It might be something else.
“In any case, I’ll do my best to find him!
“But this also shows that the situation in Orange County is more complicated than we thought. So I’d like to seek more help from the family. Please send two more top experts to assist me!”
Brett didn’t mention Lucas during the call. After all, Mateo hadn’t really fought against Lucas, and it was only based on gut feeling that he thought Lucas was strong. He couldn’t use this as a reason to ask for more assistance from the family.
Jensen agreed without hesitation, “Alright! Since this matter concerns Angus’s life, we can’t be careless. How about this? If you still can’t find Angus by tomorrow morning, I’ll bring people and go to Orange County myself!”
“Yes!” Brett was overjoyed.
If his father brought the family’s top experts here, they would definitely be able to find Angus and even take over California!
Heh, Lucas Gray will only have a dead end when the time comes. Let’s see if he can still be stubborn!
…
By seven the following morning, the Hamiltons still didn’t have any good news, and Angus was still nowhere to be found.
At this point, Angus had been missing for two days, and no one had contacted the Hamiltons during this time. Something might have really happened to him.
Brett could only call his father again. “Dad, we still can’t find Angus…”
He had barely gotten any sleep the past two days, and his voice was hoarse and full of fatigue.
Jensen didn’t blame him and simply said, “I’ll head over to Orange County now! Wait for me there!”
Soon, a plane from DC took off for Orange County. In it were Jensen and a large group of elite experts of the Hamiltons.
…
Lucas was unaware of this.
He was still handling the matters at the Stardust Corporation in an orderly manner.
In the afternoon, Edmund called Lucas and said grimly, “Mr. Gray, we’ve just received the news that Jensen Hamilton, the son of the Hamiltons’ helmsman, has just arrived in Orange County with many subordinates!”
