Their conflict immediately attracted the attention of many people around them.
"Hey, young man, you must have just arrived in DC from elsewhere, right? You probably don't know the Dempseys' status yet. I advise you not to argue with him and quickly apologize!"
"Yes, young man, if you offend the Dempseys, you'll be in trouble! Besides, you're from another place, and you might even know how you'll die later! You'd better hurry up and apologize to Mr. Dempsey!"
"These days, dignity is not as important as your own life. You're a young man who probably doesn't know what's important. Anyway, we're all doing this for your own good. So you'd better quickly apologize to the Dempseys. Otherwise, you'll be in deep trouble!"
Some of the elderly people here were aware of the status and power of the Dempseys, and they were kind enough to advise Lucas to quickly apologize to Shane and let the matter blow over.
