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

Chapter 542 - Surging Waves

Chapter 542: Surging Waves

Edmund was caught off guard, and he immediately spurted out a mouthful of tea.

He put down the teacup and wiped his drenched chin before saying in displeasure, “Alexis, you’re not a child anymore. Why do you still speak so rashly and carelessly?!”

The moment he finished chiding his granddaughter, he suddenly thought of the keywords in the sentence he just heard. He asked in astonishment, “Wait, what did you just say? Something happened to Lucas?”

Alexis hurriedly nodded and said anxiously, “Yes, I just found out online that the incident Lucas is embroiled in has already spiraled out of control! Everyone on the internet is saying that he killed his mother-in-law, and he’s getting slammed badly, so I immediately sent someone to ask around. I found out that Lucas’s mother-in-law wasn’t killed by him but taken away by Marc Kingston! Lucas has barged into the Kingston manor to take revenge on Marc Kingston, and both sides are fighting now!”

“What did you say?!” Edmund stood up abruptly in shock. “What’s going on? Why did the Kingstons suddenly capture Lucas’s mother-in-law and kill her?

“Besides, I don’t think Lucas is a reckless person. How could he have gone to the Kingstons’ alone to take revenge? The Kingstons are one of the top families in the state. They have countless bodyguards and elite experts. What can he do by barging in alone?”

Alexis hurriedly said, “Ah, Grandpa, stop dwelling on why these things happened. The most important thing now is to rush to the Kingston manor. Since Lucas went there alone, he definitely isn’t at an advantage!”

Hearing this, Edmund hurriedly nodded. “Yes, you’re right. I’ll go to the Kingstons’ right now and tell them not to hurt Lucas!”

“I’ll go with you!” Alexis hurriedly followed behind her grandfather.

Both Edmund and Alexis were incredibly anxious. Since Lucas saved Edmund’s life, Edmund had always wanted to help Lucas. Even though he felt that Lucas was too reckless to confront the Kingstons at this time, he couldn’t ignore his savior no matter what.

Alexis had similar thoughts. Apart from the fact that Lucas had saved her grandfather’s life, she also felt that he was an interesting person. So as soon as she heard that he was in trouble, she immediately panicked and proceeded to look for her grandfather.

However, the two of them didn’t know much about Lucas’s identity and background.

When they were in LA, they had anxiously looked for Edmund’s savior, so when they found Lucas, they had merely briefly checked his family members and general origin. So they only knew that he was a former son-in-law of the Carter family. Edmund didn’t let his people investigate in detail, so he didn’t know about Lucas’s relationship with the Huttons.

After all, he had investigated Lucas because he was grateful to him for saving his life and not because he wanted to invade the privacy of his savior.

Thus, they didn’t know much about Lucas’s identity and abilities. So as soon as they heard that he had barged into the Kingston manor alone, they immediately went to look for him.

This also showed that Edmund and Alexis were righteous people. For the sake of saving Lucas, they didn’t hesitate to go against the Kingstons, who were another top family in San Francisco.

At the same time, many other powerful families in San Francisco had also gotten the news through their own channels.

After all, the Kingstons were a top family in San Francisco, and the fact that a young man had suddenly barged into their home was quite a shocking thing.

Regardless of the final result, it could greatly satisfy their curiosity.

However, no one felt that this young man could really do anything to the Kingstons. After all, it was obvious who the final victor of the battle between a young man and a top wealthy family would be.

Compared to this matter, they were more concerned about other news.

Hearing that the helmsmen of several top families in Orange County and LA had rushed to San Francisco and seemed to be going to the Kingstons’, they wondered if there was any link between the two matters.

Since they had developed a strong curiosity, these top families from San Francisco tried to get the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a favorable position. So they unanimously sent their family members to the vicinity of Kingston manor to find out what was happening.

Everyone had a premonition that something big was probably going to happen in the Kingston manor!

While there was a commotion outside the Kingston manor, Lucas had already defeated the bodyguards who had rushed over to court death and was now approaching the main villa.

Looking at the closed villa door, Lucas moved like a bolt of lightning and soon arrived at the villa door ten meters away to kick it open with a flying kick!

“What?!”

Marc and Kyle, who were hiding behind the villa door and watching the battle, immediately screamed in horror. If not for Coby’s quick reflexes and him pulling them back by their collar in the nick of time, they would have probably had their faces hit by the door that was suddenly kicked open.

The main reason was that they hadn’t expected that Lucas, who was nearly ten meters away just a second ago, would suddenly appear in front of them in an instant.

Marc’s heart was full of fury. Lucas’s actions just now almost caused him to have his face hit by the door, which was a great insult to him!

He stared at Lucas gloomily and said slowly, “Lucas Gray. Hah, I have to say that you do have a lot of guts. You have managed to anger me.”

Lucas immediately looked at him.

He had already heard Marc’s voice over the phone once, so as soon as he heard it again, he immediately recognized him.

Lucas sneered. “Really? So what if I’ve angered you? Weren’t you the one who tried to goad me into coming? Now that I have, you’ve been hiding behind the door like a turtle and peeping like a coward. How hilarious!”

“You!” Marc was so enraged by Lucas’s mocking that his face turned beet red. As the rightful successor of the Kingstons, he had been praised by others since he was a child, and never had he been called a coward nor berated by others.

What angered him further was the fact that he couldn’t even refute Lucas because he had indeed been hiding behind the door just now and secretly watching Lucas fight!?How infuriating!

Kyle, next to him, was secretly thrilled to see something like this finally happening to his cousin, who had always outshone him in every aspect.

But after a brief moment of pleasure, Kyle became even more scrupulous toward Lucas.

After defeating the hundred-odd bodyguards of the Kingstons, Lucas still remained unscathed, and even his breathing was as regular as ever!

Moreover, he had just suddenly dashed over to the door from ten meters away. His incredible speed made Kyle feel terrified.

Without the villa door, he wouldn’t have had time to react or struggle if Lucas wanted to grab his neck and crush it!

Kyle was petrified and couldn’t help retreating far away from the terrifying enemy, Lucas.

But at this moment, Marc was furious at Lucas and said with a menacing expression, “Punk, don’t forget that you are now standing on the Kingstons’ turf. If I want you dead, you have to die!”

Then he hollered to Coby beside him, “Coby, immediately kill him! I want his detestable tongue cut off and fed to the dogs!”

Coby acknowledged, and the knuckles of his fists made cracking sounds as he immediately rushed at Lucas!
