Chapter 865: Promise To Pledge Allegiance
After Lucas finished speaking, Tyson’s face immediately became gloomy.
Lucas actually said that to Tyson’s face and even forced him to make a choice.
Apart from making the Smiths pledge allegiance to him, Lucas even requested that he kill direct descendants of the Smiths.
Tyson sneered. He didn’t believe that Thomas would agree to such an absurd request.
“Okay, I promise!”
Just as Tyson thought that Thomas would never agree to the request, a voice full of murderous intent suddenly came from the other end.
Tyson immediately froze on the spot!
Then he heard Thomas’s familiar voice coming from the phone.
“In fact, the position of the Smiths’ helmsman should belong to me! Who is Tyson? He’s younger than me and hopelessly stupid. He doesn’t even know how to strategize. If Charlie hadn’t helped him, he wouldn’t have been able to snatch the position of helmsman away from me!
“I’ve long wanted to kill him all these years. But because he’s the helmsman, the protection around him is extremely tight, and I haven’t been able to find a suitable chance to take action.
“But if you’re willing to help me now, that’s the best! Not to mention killing him, I won’t hesitate to kill all the people on his side! They should have died long ago!”
Thomas’s voice was full of endless murderous intent and resentment as it clearly came through the speakerphone.
Thomas seemed to be struck by thunder as he staggered back and fell hard onto his chair.

He had never imagined that Thomas thought of him this way. He actually wouldn’t hesitate to kill him for the position of helmsman. In fact, he wouldn’t even let off anyone with a close relationship with him!
At this moment, Tyson’s heart was brimming with anger toward Thomas! How can he do this?!
“Mr. Gray, I can agree to all your requests! As long as I can become the helmsman of the Smiths, I’m willing to represent the family to pledge allegiance to you and obey your orders! As long as you help me obtain the position of helmsman, I will agree to any of your requests!” Thomas’s excited and flattering voice continued to come from the phone.
“Okay, got it. Wait for my news.” With that, Lucas hung up.
He turned his head to look at Tyson, who looked like he had suffered a huge impact. “It seems your cousin isn’t like what you thought. You guessed wrong.”
“That… that bastard!” Tyson gritted his teeth furiously. “Is he still human? I’ve always thought that since we grew up together and that we’re members of the same family, we would forever be relatives connected by blood even though we might be rivals!
“So even when his son killed my daughter, I didn’t make a move against them but chose to endure it!
“Moreover, after I became the helmsman, it would have been a piece of cake for me to get rid of them. Thomas Smith, his son Vince, and everyone in his camp would have died long ago!
“But I didn’t do it because I still cared about our brotherhood!
“But what about him? He didn’t even think about kinship and family for a second. He agreed to kill me without hesitation! He really didn’t hesitate for even a second!
“That… cold-blooded beast! He’s really heartless. He’s simply not human!
“That bastard! I will never forgive him easily!”
Tyson roared maniacally. At the same time, two streams of tears rolled down his face.
He was truly devastated and extremely disappointed in Thomas.
Someone at his age actually burst into tears of misery in front of Lucas.
Lucas didn’t say anything and looked at Tyson quietly.
Only after a long while did Tyson finally calm down.
He had thought about many things just now.
“Lucas, since you’ve come to look for me, I guess you have more confidence in me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t need to say so much to me. I’m asking you. If I really lead the Smiths to pledge allegiance to you, will everything you said just now still count?”
Lucas nodded. “Yes. Otherwise, why would I have said so much to you? You’ve seen the way Thomas reacted just now. If I wanted to deceive you, I wouldn’t need to go to such lengths.”
Tyson took two deep breaths and finally made up his mind. “Okay! I promise that as long as you can cure my son, let my butler off, and help me take full control of the Smiths, I will lead the Smiths to pledge allegiance to you!”
When Lucas heard this, a smile appeared on his face. “Okay!”
Thus, the two parties were considered to have formally set up an alliance.
This time, Lucas came to the capital to prevent Maddy from being forced to marry someone else and settle these affairs of the Smiths.
Now, Maddy had already been rescued, and the marriage between Maddy and the Dempseys was canceled.
Moreover, given Jordan’s performance in front of the Stones and the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of betrothal gifts that Lucas had helped Jordan prepare, the Stones probably wouldn’t oppose the marriage between Jordan and Maddy.
Now, Tyson had already agreed to pledge allegiance to Lucas. It could be said that the matter of the Smiths had almost been resolved.
Not only had Lucas gotten rid of a great enemy, but he had also gained the help of one of the eight giants of DC, which was additional support.
After Lucas completely resolved these matters of the Smiths, he could go to the Huttons in DC and ask that person why he had treated them that way!
The moment he thought of the Huttons and the events back then, his face was ice-cold.
…
At the same time, in a high-class VIP ward in an upscale private hospital in DC…
After hanging up the phone, Thomas and Vince were both extremely excited.
What Lucas just said on the phone was really too exciting!
“Hahahahaha! That idiot Tyson is the only one who treats Lucas Gray as a small fry. Does he think that the Smiths can stop him? How naive! Even I don’t want to fight him head-on. He will only suffer defeat!”
“Hehehe, isn’t that so? The fact that Lucas Gray called must mean that Tyson is on the losing end! Dad, soon the position of helmsman will belong to you!”
The two glanced at each other and guffawed loudly.
But after rejoicing, Vince suddenly asked, “Dad, are you really going to agree to be loyal to that kid Lucas Gray and obey his orders?”
He looked extremely unwilling!
