THE FORMIDABLE SON-IN-LAW: THE CHARISMATIC LUCAS GRAY

Perhaps Gaia would never be able to figure out how Lucas had evaded his sudden attack from behind.

Besides, Lucas didn’t bother to guess Gaia’s motives. After all, he wouldn’t have trusted someone like Gaia who could betray his former employer.

Axel admired Lucas even more.

He had seen clearly from the side just how Lucas had managed to evade the sudden attack from behind.

Lucas was a cautious and powerful young man who was resolute when it came to killing. He was certain Lucas had excellent potential and a great future!

Lucas looked around the room and said indifferently, “From today onward, the Walkers and the Kingstons will completely disappear from California! If I see anyone from either of your two families in California starting tomorrow, I will kill them!”

His cold and overbearing words were like a large stone thrown into a pond, causing everyone to exclaim in astonishment.

The Kingstons and the Walkers looked terribly dismayed.

But they were also aware that the Kingstons and the Walkers had already offended Lucas badly and that the helmsmen of their families had already died here. Facing the powerful and capable Lucas, the two families had completely lost their ability to resist and could only obediently do as he said.

Moreover, Lucas was already showing them mercy by merely demanding that they leave California instead of killing them or taking advantage of the opportunity to seize their properties.

The three top families of San Francisco, who were evenly matched before, had their trinity broken in the blink of an eye. And now, the Coles were the only family left.

Edmund couldn’t help sighing in amazement.

Of course, he didn’t sympathize with the Kingstons and the Walkers. These families had their greed to blame for ending up in this situation today!

However, Edmund also understood that from now, all of California would probably become Lucas’s turf.

With the absolute strength he showed today, no family in California would dare to be disrespectful towards him in the future.

This was the deterrence that came from absolute power!

Of course, as the captain of the Falcon Regiment, Lucas could easily dominate merely California.

Even if he went to DC one day to take all eight families under his wing, Edmund wouldn’t be surprised because Lucas was completely capable of doing this with his power!

After the Kingstons and the Walkers left the venue with the bodies of their respective helmsmen, the atmosphere in the venue became somber again.

At this moment, Edmund suddenly came forward to stand in front of Lucas and said solemnly, “From today onward, the Coles are willing to pledge allegiance to Mr. Gray!”

Edmund’s words were like another boulder immediately setting off a huge wave in the venue.

Who was Edmund Cole?

He was the helmsman of the Coles and the only surviving one of the top families in San Francisco. It could be said that the Coles had become the most powerful family in California now that the two other families were about to be eradicated!

Yet the head of the Coles actually pledged allegiance to Lucas in public!

The shock and disbelief in the crowd’s hearts were imaginable!

“The Hales are also willing to pledge allegiance to Mr. Gray and take orders from him!”

At this moment, Bruce and the new helmsman of the Hales, Connor, both stood out and expressed their allegiance to Lucas.

“The Parkers are also willing to pledge allegiance to Mr. Gray and take orders from him!” Damon strode forward and bowed to Lucas with great respect.

“The Sawyers are going to plead allegiance to Mr. Gray too!” Ethan also stood out and loudly announced his allegiance.

…

As the helmsmen of these families stood out to pledge allegiance, the rest of the people present also understood that this was irreversible.

“The Summers are going to plead allegiance to Mr. Gray too!”

“The Kellers are going to plead allegiance to Mr. Gray too!”

“The Julians are willing to plead allegiance to Mr. Gray too!”

…

After the few most powerful families in California took the lead in pledging allegiance, the rest of the sixty-odd families stood forth one after another to pledge allegiance to Lucas.

In the end, apart from the Taylors of Orange County and Axel, the head of the Peerless Martial Association’s Californian branch, the rest of the forces at the exchange had already pledged allegiance to Lucas.

Such a matter was really unprecedented!

Frederick, the head of the Taylors, began to panic, and he couldn’t help looking at Axel.

The Taylors had a close relationship with the Peerless Martial Association, and they had always been dependent on the Peerless Martial Association. In fact, many of the Taylors’ decisions were actually made according to the Peerless Martial Association’s wishes.

For example, before today’s Elite Business Exchange meeting began, Frederick’s proposal to form an ally with Lucas and the others in Orange County’s exclusive reception room was actually an order given by Axel.

Thus, now that all the families had pledged allegiance to Lucas, Frederick was at a loss for what to do because, in reality, the Taylors had already pledged allegiance to the Peerless Martial Association. Before receiving Axel’s approval, Frederick definitely didn’t dare to pledge allegiance to Lucas, not even verbally.

Axel narrowed his eyes dangerously.

He had brought the people of the Peerless Martial Association here, but he didn’t expect that after he suppressed Vince, Lucas would suddenly intervene. Lucas had even used his domineering power to snatch that position away.

Axel was now in a somewhat unhappy mood.

“Lucas Gray, I advise you not to rejoice too soon. You should know that the Smiths aren’t going to let you off easily once they learn that you’ve just forced Vince to kneel down and apologize to you, right?” Axel suddenly said.

Unlike everyone else who had changed the way they addressed Lucas to ‘Mr. Gray’, Axel didn’t show any respect at all.

Lucas glanced at him with raised brows and said nonchalantly, “And then?”

Axel’s lips, which were always pressed together, thus making him seem extremely mean, were curled into a peculiar smile at the moment. “I can guarantee that even if the Smiths are one of the eight top families in DC, the Peerless Martial Association will be able to protect you! The only condition is that you join the Peerless Martial Association and become one of us!”
