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

Chapter 846 - The Smiths Appear

Chapter 846: The Smiths Appear

“How are the Dempseys going to deal with me?!” Lucas suddenly shouted, his voice like a thunderclap, causing everyone to jump.

With Lucas’s shout, everyone, especially the Dempseys, felt a burst of fear. They shuddered incessantly and couldn’t even form a complete sentence.

They had never felt so clearly as they did now how much control this young man had over their lives!

Everything the Dempseys had relied on before was so fragile in front of this young man.

They were completely defeated!

They only had two choices now. They could either die or…

Thud!

Phil, the helmsman of the Dempseys, suddenly fell to his knees in front of Lucas. “Mr… Mr. Gray, it’s the Dempseys fault today! But we have no grudges against you. It’s all instructions from the Smiths. They forced us to do this! Otherwise, even if we had ten times the courage, we wouldn’t dare to go against you!

“Mr. Gray, we were wrong. Please give us a way out. Let us off! We won’t dare to do it again!”

Despite his old age, Phil cried miserably while kneeling in front of Lucas.

Begging for mercy was the only thing he could do now.

Lucas was too terrifying. He could act as a sniper and instantly kill people hundreds of meters away by just flicking out a few peanuts. Someone like him was beyond human!

As long as Lucas wanted to kill someone, no one would be able to resist him with his incredible skill as the God of War!

Not to mention the small Dempsey family, even the top powerhouses of the eight major families wouldn’t be a match for Lucas!

In the face of such terrifying and overwhelming power, the Dempseys had no chance of escaping at all.

If they immediately kneeled and begged Lucas for forgiveness, they might still have a chance to live.

The rest of the Dempseys were also frightened as they all fell on their knees one after another while looking at Lucas in horror and begging him for mercy.

“Mr. Gray, the Smiths ordered us to do this! They’re the ones who asked us to propose marriage to the Stones and make Maddy Stone marry one of us. They even insisted that we hold the wedding today to lure you here.

“The Smiths were also the ones who forced us to harm you. If we didn’t obey, they would have annihilated us!

“I… I had no choice but to follow the orders! I’m the helmsman of the Dempseys after all. If I don’t obey their orders, the entire family will be implicated!

“In order to protect the Dempseys, I had no choice but to agree to their request. We never wanted to do any of this!

“Mr. Gray, please spare us on account of our sincere apology!”

Phil spoke remorsefully and sobbingly. At the same time, he was full of resentment and anger toward the Smiths.

If not for the Smiths’ orders, the Dempseys wouldn’t have offended Lucas, this terrifying person.

But even after they had exhausted all their trump cards, the Smiths had yet to show up.

This clearly meant that after the Smiths used the Dempseys as a pawn, they completely abandoned them!

Why?

Why is this happening?

Lucas looked at Phil kneeling in front of him and crying incessantly with snot all over his face. There was no fluctuation in his emotions.

“I’ve already given your family several chances. But you refused to believe me and gave up these opportunities.

“It’s already too late for you to beg for my forgiveness!

“However, on account that you were used by the Smiths, I can spare the rest of the Dempseys. But as the helmsman of the Dempseys, you have to die for following Smiths’ orders and repeatedly ordering my death!”

The Dempseys had used hitmen, the assault team, and snipers to kill Lucas. Once Phil died, Lucas would let off the rest of the Dempseys, which was already extremely kind.

Phil naturally understood this logic. He was extremely dejected because he knew that he had to die, and this was the result of Lucas’s magnanimity.

With a bitter smile, he slumped to the floor and pleaded, “After I die, please let off the rest of the Dempseys.”

Jordan snorted coldly. “Duh? Lucas has always been a man of his word. The Dempseys aren’t worthy of Lucas going back on his word!”

Hearing this, Phil stopped talking. He took a deep breath and had a good look at Lucas. Then he turned his head and looked at the Dempseys kneeling behind him. A bitter and tragic smile appeared on his face.

Then with a flip of his hand, he pulled out a pistol from his waist, aimed it at his temple, and prepared to pull the trigger!

“Stop!” someone suddenly shouted from the back of the banquet hall.

Phil’s hand shook violently. Just as he was about to shoot himself, his fingers slid, and he failed to pull the trigger.

A figure slowly stepped on the red carpet and walked into the hall.

Upon seeing that person, Phil’s eyes were full of both anger and joy. He felt extremely complicated.

The person who came was none other than Vince, whom he had been waiting for for a long time but hadn’t appeared until now!

“Lucas Gray, we meet again!” As soon as Vince saw Lucas, murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Several Smiths were following behind Vince.

Last time in California, Vince had wanted to take advantage of the California Elite Business Exchange to take control of the entire state. But in the end, he had fallen short and had even been forced to kneel by Lucas. It was the most embarrassed he had ever been.

Although Vince had ordered his people not to spread this matter, there was no secret that lasted forever in this world. The Smiths eventually found out about the fact that Vince had been forced to kneel in public by a young man in California.

The Smiths naturally felt that Vince had greatly embarrassed the family. If they allowed him to continue being the future helmsman of the Smiths, it would only cause them to be a laughing stock of the major families in DC.

Thus, after Vince returned to the Smiths, he was immediately stripped of his position as the family’s successor, and this position was given to Oscar.

However, Oscar had gone to California to deal with Lucas two days ago, but he had also ended up suffering a huge loss because of Lucas. He had been frightened to the point of losing his sanity. Even now, he was still in the hospital and couldn’t assume the position of the successor.

So now, after going around in circles, the position of the successor of the Smiths had returned to Vince’s hands.

“Haha, Lucas Gray, speaking of which, you’re the reason I was removed from the position of successor! But it’s also thanks to you that I’ve been reinstated. Do you think I should hate you or thank you?” Vince sneered.

He pulled a chair over from the side and sat down across from Lucas imposingly.

“It seems you want to thank me, huh?” Lucas smiled.

Vince narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, “Hahaha! If you release Mr. Dempsey now, I’ll give you a generous gift. What do you think?”
