The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray

After finally catching his breath, Gordon raised his head and saw that the pistol originally in his hand had somehow ended up in the hand of Jordan, who was opposite him.

At this moment, Jordan was pointing the muzzle at him and threatening to pull the trigger.

Gordon was stunned to the point of turning pale and sweating profusely. His body stiffened, and he dared not move at all, fearing that he might upset Jordan and cause him to pull the trigger and shoot him.

“Hah, weren’t you very arrogant just now? Is that all the guts you have?” Jordan sneered while looking at Gordon with disdain.

Gordon’s face turned red, but he no longer wanted to retort.

Suddenly, Wade did something that no one expected.

He suddenly knelt on one knee facing Lucas and bowed. “I, Wade Spartan, would like to pledge my allegiance to you. Please grant me permission to follow you!”

As soon as he said that, Gordon was dumbfounded, and he looked at Wade in disbelief.

As Wade’s employer, he was naturally aware of his origins. Wade was a king of underground boxing and known to be ruthless and unforgiving. There had been many times where he severely injured the opponents who challenged him in the ring.

Wade deserved his title as a king of underground boxing, and the price of hiring him once was hefty.

Now, such a strong man was actually kneeling in front of Lucas and asking to pledge allegiance to him!

Gordon felt like he was dreaming.

Lucas asked with slightly raised brows, “Why?”

Wade said seriously, “You are very strong. Although you didn’t make a move, I can feel that your aura is even more terrifying than the aura of the man beside you. I want to be the follower of a mighty figure!”

Lucas smiled. “That’s your reason. But why should I keep you by my side?”

“I can do anything you command, be it murder or arson. As long as you want me to, I will do it and ensure that it won’t cause you any problems!” Wade promised. This was what most people paid him to do anyway.

However, this was of no appeal to Lucas.

“I’m not interested,” Lucas declined without hesitation.

Not only was he not interested in murder and arson, but even if he were, he wouldn’t employ Wade.

“Um… I can be your bodyguard and protect you or protect the people around you,” Wade hurriedly said after some thought.

This statement made Lucas tempted.

He naturally did not need Wade to be his bodyguard. But Cheyenne and Charlotte had been getting into trouble lately, and things would have been different if they had someone to protect them.

As a king of underground boxing, Wade naturally had passable combat proficiency. Although his bones had been broken by Jordan, he could still withstand it. Besides, the quick actions and reflexes he exhibited when he threatened Gordon meant that he was a smart man.

Lucas wasn’t afraid that he would betray him like he betrayed Gordon either. After all, for someone as strong as Wade, he would never betray someone stronger than him.

The only thing that he had to consider now was Wade’s background. If someone was deliberately trying to plant Wade beside him as a snitch, he naturally couldn’t keep him around.

Lucas thought about it and nodded. “I can consider it. I’ll look for you in the future.”

Overjoyed, Wade exclaimed, “Okay! Thank you, Mr. Gray!”

Gordon, who had seen everything, was extremely frustrated.

The thought of the expert he had hired at great cost deciding to betray him and defect to his enemy made him feel like vomiting blood.

“Wade, are you sure you want to betray me?” Gordon turned to Wade and said angrily.

But Wade smiled indifferently. “Betray? You must be mistaken, Mr. Douglas. I’m not your subordinate, and I haven’t received any money from you, so how can it be considered betrayal?”

Gordon was so furious that he started trembling. However, he really didn’t know how to retort.

Previously, he and Wade had agreed to settle the payment after completing the matter. It was true that Wade had not received a single cent from him yet.

Gordon gritted his teeth. “You! Don’t you regret your choice! If you choose that good-for-nothing, you will be an enemy of the Douglases! Do you think you can stand up to us? We can always hire another group of experts!”

Lucas was tired of hearing these threats from Gordon. “You keep mentioning your family. Do you really think your family is that impressive? Without your family, you’d be nothing, Gordon Douglas!”

Gordon flew into a rage and shouted, “Hmph, you’re just a boor who beats others all the time. How would you know how horrifying my family is? The Douglas family is a first-class family in Orange County, and we are incredibly wealthy and well-connected. We can crush you with just a finger! When the time comes, and the Carters are annihilated, you will regret what you’ve done today!”

Hearing these words, Jordan deliberately pretended to be frightened and wrapped his arms around himself. “What should we do? Lucas, I’m so scared!”

Seeing this, Gordon stood up from the ground and held his head up high proudly. “Hmph, you’re scared, huh? It’s not too late to regret it! Leave that woman behind, kneel down in front of me, and kowtow three times, and I’ll consider sparing you!”

“Kowtow my ass! Dream on, you idiot!” Jordan immediately stopped pretending and walked up to kick Gordon to make him wake up.

“Forget it.” Lucas glanced at Gordon coldly like he was looking at a dead man. “When the Douglas family falls, he won’t be able to be arrogant anymore.”

After saying this, Lucas stopped caring about Gordon and left with Cheyenne in his arms.

Jordan and Wade hurriedly followed behind him.

With a burly and muscular man like Wade behind them, when they left the Heaven Media office, no one dared to step forth to stop them at all.

Gordon was the only one who failed to get anything after painstakingly setting everything up. He even got angered and had to see his son dragged to him, all battered with bruises.

Gordon was enraged. He yelled at his men to call for an ambulance to take Brad to the hospital while smashing everything in the room to vent his anger.

Meanwhile, Jordan followed behind Lucas and asked, “Lucas, seems like that idiot won’t give up. Why didn’t you teach him a lesson so that he won’t dare to get any funny ideas?”

Wade hurriedly chimed in, “I can make him disappear from this world tonight if you’d like!”

Lucas shook his head with a smile on his lips. “No, we don’t have to do that. If we want to get rid of them, wouldn’t it be more interesting to make them kill themselves?”

Wade suddenly shuddered, thinking to himself that he had made the wisest choice of his life by not choosing to be Lucas’s enemy!
