"We have six of the eight top families in DC on our side. If we want to crush your small families to death, it's as easy as crushing a few ants! You're too arrogant!"

"Is that so?" Lucas sneered, his eyes cold as he looked at Jace.

For some reason, he felt a great sense of danger from Lucas's gaze. It was as if his heart had been stabbed by a knife.

But at the thought that he had six other families beside him and that their lineup was even stronger, Jace regained his courage. "Lucas, are you unconvinced? Isn't that a collection of junk on your side?"
