Chapter 487: Supreme Existence of LA
As soon as Damon finished speaking, all the Owens had a drastic change of expression.
In a moment of fear, many of them immediately pleaded, “Mr. Parker, please withdraw your orders! We really weren’t aware of the evil things that Callum had done!”
“Exactly. How could Callum have possibly told us what he did in private? Why should we cut off our own arms because of his mistakes?”
“Mr. Parker, please! My son is just under ten years old this year. If he really cuts off one of his arms, how is he supposed to continue with his life in the future?”
“Yes, our family is no longer the same as it used to be in the past. Without money, we will definitely have to go out and get a job so that we won’t starve to death! If we lose an arm, who will want to hire us? You’re severing our livelihoods!”
…
Hearing the Owens’ words, Joseph, the head of the family, began trembling violently as he went through a complicated emotional struggle.
Finally, Joseph suddenly got down on both knees in front of Damon.
His knees hit the ground with a loud thud, which sounded extremely painful.
Damon was stunned by Joseph’s sudden move, and for a moment, he didn’t know how he should react.
Joseph was an extremely arrogant person. But now, he actually gave up his dignity and knelt in front of him!
“Mr. Parker, I know that my grandsons have committed an unforgivable mistake, and it’s understandable that you’d refuse to forgive them, but the rest of us are really innocent. If you make each of us cut off an arm, we won’t be able to make a living in the future! If you must punish us before your anger is appeased, I’m willing to give my life in exchange for the safety of all the Owens! All I beg is that you’ll spare them! They’re innocent!” Joseph was kneeling on the ground with a look of determination on his face.
At this moment, Damon gained some respect for this old rival of his.
He was willing to use his own life to exchange for the safety of his family. Even as a rival, he had to admit that Joseph was indeed worthy of the position of the helmsman of the Owens.
Unfortunately, he didn’t teach his grandsons well, causing his family to be reduced to such a state.
Damon even thought that if Callum hadn’t done something that not only offended Lucas but also touched his bottom line, Lucas might have chosen to let them take over his matters here. When the time came, the Owens would definitely have been in the Parkers’ current position instead of the other way around.
If that happened, would I be able to sacrifice my grandsons’ lives? What decision will Joseph Owen make?
Damon once again confirmed, “Are you really willing to die for the sake of your family?”
Joseph nodded without hesitation. “Yes! Anyway, I’ve already lived for decades, and I have experienced everything. I’ve lived long enough, and it’s no big deal even if I die. But there are dozens of people in our family, and they all have long lives ahead of them. Besides, they’re really innocent. Please let them off!”
Although his face was ashen and despondent, he was extremely determined. Clearly, he had long made up his mind.
After thinking for a long time, Damon finally sighed and nodded. “Okay, since you’ve made such a request, I will fulfill your wishes! However, I have one request. From now on, everyone from the Owen family must leave LA and promise not to take revenge on the Parkers! If anyone disobeys, we Parkers will definitely do our best to kill all the Owens!”
When Joseph saw Damon agree, a trace of joy appeared in his eyes.
He stood up, looked around at the Owens, and warned solemnly, “All of you, you’d better listen up clearly. Leave LA by today and never come back again! And you must never take revenge on the Parkers. Otherwise, I won’t be able to die in peace!”
“Damon!”
“Grandpa!”
“Dad!”
…
All the Owens understood what was going to happen soon, and one by one, tears filled their eyes as they tearfully agreed to Joseph’s last request.
They all understood that the reason that they could be safe and sound was that Joseph had given up his dignity and got on his knees.
Joseph smiled faintly and said to Damon, “Thank you so much, Damon!”
Then he suddenly took out a pair of silver scissors and stabbed himself in the chest with it!
“Mr. Owen!” the butler exclaimed in a shrilling voice. It was the scissors that Joseph usually used for trimming the branches of his flowers. But now, it had become the weapon that killed him.
The silver scissors pierced deeply into his left chest, and his white shirt became soaked in blood. He slowly fell to the ground and closed his eyes forever.
“Damon!”
“Grandpa!”
“Mr. Owen!”
…
The Owens were devastated and grief-stricken as they got on their knees and began wailing.
Damon was full of uneasiness.
He was the one who forced Joseph to his death, and things developed to this point because of him too.
But he wasn’t at all pleased to see Joseph dying like this.
However, if he could turn back time and start all over again, he would still choose to do the same.
The reason was that the Owens had committed a huge mistake, and someone had to take the blame!
Well, at least he was still smiling during his last moments out of relief that Damon had promised to spare the rest of the Owens.
Damon stayed silent for a long time before suddenly exclaiming, “Send Mr. Owen off!”
“Send Mr. Owen off!”
“Send Mr. Owen off!”
…
All the Parkers who Damon had brought with him also exclaimed.
Joseph’s decision deserved all their respect!
It didn’t take long for the news of the destruction of the Owen family and Joseph’s demise to spread throughout LA.
In the past two hours or so, major events had repeatedly occurred in the Owen family, and the news of their family’s collapse and the resignations of the senior executives of their companies spread quickly. Everyone placed their attention on the Owens as they were eagerly waiting to see the subsequent developments.
However, they didn’t expect that what happened next would be beyond their expectations.
The head of the Owen family had committed suicide, and Callum, the one most likely to succeed him, had succumbed to his injury while being conveyed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
The great Owen family was exterminated in just one short day!
The déjà vu scene made many people in LA shudder, and they didn’t even dare to talk about it publicly.
After the destruction of the Owens, the Parkers rightfully became the most powerful family in LA, gaining a supreme and unparalleled position.
The Parkers had become the well-deserved hegemon of LA!
But Damon knew that it was all thanks to Lucas.
The Parkers were now under Lucas’s command.
