Chapter 664: Situation Analysis

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Mrs. Smith?” Edmund murmured doubtfully. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. “I remember. I’ve heard of her before. She should be from the Smiths, one of the eight top families in DC. Why did you suddenly mention her?”

Lucas said, “Just two days ago, Wendy Smith arrived in San Francisco, and she’s been staying with the Kingstons. This is enough to show that the Smiths and the Kingstons share an extraordinary relationship. Besides, there are definitely a lot of other matters in between.”

After thinking about it, he told Edmund about Wendy’s actual relationship with Moses and that Marc was their son. He also added that Wendy had sent someone to kill him to avenge Moses and Marc.

Just as Eli, the assassin Wendy sent, had said, this matter should be very confidential. If the assassin didn’t think that Lucas would definitely die, he wouldn’t have told him about it.

Lucas guessed that there must be very few people who knew about this matter. Even Lance, the helmsman of the Kingston family, might not necessarily know about it. Otherwise, when Lucas and his people went to the Kingston residence, the Kingstons could have suppressed him with the name of the Smiths. But they didn’t do so.

Thus, Lucas thought that Edmund probably wouldn’t know this secret.

“What? Is there such a thing? Marc is the son of Moses Kingston and Wendy Smith? This… is really surprising!” Indeed, after Edmund heard what Lucas said, shock appeared on his face.

He had always known that the Kingstons had some dealings with the Huttons of DC. But he didn’t expect the Kingstons to have an even closer relationship with the Smiths of DC!

Moreover, Edmund also thought that although Marc and Moses had both committed suicide, Wendy would definitely take revenge on Lucas, especially since she had already sent her subordinate to assassinate him. He knew that she definitely wouldn’t just give up.

The Kingstons already bore a grudge against Lucas, and now that the Smiths had joined in, it seemed that they were hosting this Elite Business Exchange to target Lucas.

“Lucas, you must be very careful! The Smiths are very powerful in DC, and Wendy Smith isn’t a kindhearted person. They definitely wouldn’t let you off!

“Furthermore, I suspect that the sudden death of Wendy’s nephew was caused by Wendy herself!

“Because the most powerful assassin around her was no match for you, and you even crippled his limbs. So if she wants to continue killing you, she has to go back to the Smiths and ask them to send more powerful people to deal with you. But since the matter between her and Moses is a secret of hers, she won’t reveal it herself. Hence, the best reason she can use to draw more of the Smiths’ experts to deal with you is the death of her nephew Roy!

“Only then can she possibly use the power of the Smiths to deal with you while keeping her secret!”

Indeed, Edmund was old and experienced. After hearing some key points from Lucas, he immediately deduced Wendy’s plan.

Lucas was naturally very impressed by this. Edmund was truly experienced and wise!

But this wasn’t the end of Edmund’s analysis.

“If I guess correctly, the Smiths will probably send a heavyweight figure to this Elite Business Exchange too, and this figure is very likely to be Roy’s father, Vince Smith!”

“Vince Smith? What is this person like?” Lucas wasn’t very worried and was merely just curious.

There was a trace of reminiscence in Edmund’s eyes. “I’ve never had any dealings with Vince. But he’s indeed someone most people don’t dare to offend.

“The current helmsman of the Smith family is Wendy’s father. But because Wendy is a married woman, she naturally can’t inherit his position and become the head of the Smiths. On the other hand, Vince’s father is the brother of the current family head, so Vince has a very high status and holds great power in the family. He’s considered a strong contender for the position of the next helmsman.

“The rule of the Smiths is that the most competent descendant will become the next helmsman. Vince is the most promising one. He holds great power and has numerous experts around him. I’m afraid that’s why Wendy wants to use Vince to deal with you.

“Moreover, the one who died this time is Vince’s son, Roy. Given his character, he will definitely come to deal with it personally. I’m almost one hundred percent sure that Vince will definitely come to San Francisco!”

Lucas pondered. “In that case, it seems that Vince should have arrived in San Francisco by now. But he hasn’t made a move against me yet.”

Edmund narrowed his eyes in thought.

After a while, he said, “Since Vince has arrived in San Francisco but hasn’t taken action against you yet, it can only mean that he’s still planning something more important.

“For example, the Elite Business Exchange!”

“I’m guessing that he must want to support a powerful family at the Elite Business Exchange to help him gain control of California while also targeting you at the exchange!”

Thus, all the conjectures he had made previously added up.

The Smiths were the ones who wanted to take over all of California, and the Kingstons were most likely the ones receiving their support!

“Now, there’s a feud between you and the Kingstons and the Smiths. It seems that the Elite Business Exchange tomorrow will be extremely dangerous for you!” Edmund looked at Lucas worriedly.

Lucas sighed in his heart.

He didn’t want to confront the eight giants of DC so soon. But he hadn’t expected things to escalate to this point, where a confrontation between him and the Smiths was inevitable.

So what if they were one of the top eight families in DC? Lucas wasn’t afraid of them at all.

He would just take it as training before dealing with the Huttons.

“If the Smiths insist on dealing with me tomorrow, I’ll show them what real danger is!” Lucas said with a menacing gaze as an unstoppable domineering aura instantly emerged from his body!
