How could Lucas not know what Bradley was thinking?
He knew from the start that descendants from noble families like Bradley had never suffered any setbacks in their lives. For Lucas to hit him was already a total offense, and Bradley would never forgive him and let it pass.
He had only said that he wouldn't pursue the matter after he was released to plead for mercy.
If Lucas took it seriously and really let him go, Bradley would definitely remember today's humiliation and immediately gather more experts from the Hills to deal with him.
And a royal family branch like the Hills had a history that had lasted for hundreds of years. There were many experts and suicide warriors in the family. Although Lucas wasn't afraid of them, his family and those who followed him wouldn't be able to withstand the endless assassinations and harassment.
