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

The person who came was a man in his thirties. He was extremely handsome and wearing a dark green floral shirt. His hair was long and tied back into a braid. With a cigarette in his mouth, he looked like a roguish playboy.

The person was Roman Everett, Lucas’s cousin.

He was the one who had named World Entertainment City.

Like Lucas, he didn’t have Hutton as his last name and had taken his mother’s last name.

Although Roman seemed languid and sloven, Lucas knew that his cousin was only so on the surface.

“It’s been almost twenty years since we’ve last met. You managed to recognize me at a glance?” Lucas smiled with raised brows.

Roman walked over and put his hand on Lucas’s shoulder very naturally. While pulling him into the club, he said, “Hey, although you’ve grown up, your facial features still look the same. You’re still as handsome as before!

“Besides, I’ve been gifted since I was a child, and I’m the best at recognizing faces. Even in another twenty years, I’ll still be able to recognize you at a glance!

“Also, didn’t you already tell my staff that you were here? Of course, I’d recognize you.”

Although it had been many years since they last met, Roman was still as enthusiastic as ever. As soon as he spoke, Lucas felt like there was no distance between them.

Lucas smiled without exposing Roman.

Roman seemed extremely warm and enthusiastic, but Lucas knew that he was the best at pretending and concealing.

He might have claimed to recognize Lucas because he was gifted and that Lucas looked about the same as he did when he was a child. But Lucas knew that when the Huttons started paying attention to him, Roman had already started sending people to pay attention to Lucas’s situation as well.

In fact, Lucas had a really good relationship with Roman when they were kids.

Back then, in the Hutton residence, although there were a lot of kids around the same age, Lucas didn’t know the others well. He was only close to Roman.

Roman was only two years older than Lucas, and since they were both illegitimate children, they were in the same plight in the Hutton family and sympathized with each other.

But when Lucas was seven, Roman’s father allegedly gave his mother a sum of money and got her to move out of the Hutton residence with Roman.

Although they would be separated from the Huttons, they would have a stable life.

But Lucas and his mother weren’t as lucky. They had long been kicked out by the Huttons and driven away from DC.

Even the Stardust Corporation, which Lucas’s mother had founded, was taken over by the Huttons, leaving the two of them with no choice but to end up stranded in Orange County. In the end, Lucas’s mother became ill from overwork and passed away.

The thought of the past events made a deeply hidden hatred flash in Lucas’s eyes.

“Lucas, quickly take a look at my club. Not too bad, right?” Roman was now like a tour guide as he showed Lucas around the first floor of the club, followed by the next few floors. Eventually, they reached the top floor.

World Entertainment City was truly upscale. There were numerous entertainment facilities, and there were also some secret activities specifically used for receiving some important and wealthy customers.

After praising him, Lucas suddenly said, “But there’s something else that’s exciting. Why didn’t you bring me to take a look?”

Roman was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud. “Punk, how did you find out? Seems like I can’t hide it from you!”

Lucas smiled without answering Roman’s question.

In fact, since half a year ago, he had been working on the matter of dealing with the Huttons.

Although it was still too early to act at the time, Lucas had already sent people to DC to investigate all the matters of the Huttons.

Since then, Lucas learned about some of the things that his cousin Roman had secretly done.

For example, there was actually a boxing ring on the top floor, which was called the Sky Arena.

In this arena, Roman had also secretly trained many experts under the pretext of training boxers.

The Huttons probably didn’t know just how many experts Roman had.

Generally, people only knew that there was a place for underground boxing called the Sky Arena in World Entertainment City. They thought it was just a place to simply bet on illegal boxing.

“Okay, since you know all about it, how about I take you around?”

Since Lucas already pointed it out, Roman didn’t hide it and put his arm around Lucas’s shoulder with a smile.

Lucas naturally nodded happily. “Yes, I’d like to learn more.”

Roman laughed. Without further ado, he took Lucas and Jordan into an extremely secretive elevator and headed all the way up to the top floor of World Entertainment City.

As soon as they walked in, they heard deafening cheers from inside. There was clearly an exciting boxing match taking place.

The top floor was very large with a massive open space.

There was a circular ring with guardrails around it in the middle. It was naturally where the boxers competed.

The ring was surrounded by layers of laddered seats in ascending height. It was the audience’s viewing area.

At the moment, there were two boxers in the ring.

It was the arena for underground boxing. As the name implied, there were no rules, no protection, no stoppage, and no surrendering.

The two sides participating in the match had to fight until one of them died in order to distinguish the winner from the loser. The scene was extremely bloody and cruel.

The loser would naturally lose his life, while the winner would receive a hefty reward.

Of course, there were all kinds of bets. Before the start of each match, anyone could bet on which of the two boxers in the ring would win.

The stakes for these bets were naturally high.

Thus, although the underground boxing ring was extremely gory, there were countless people here for the sensory stimulation and to satisfy their gamblers’ psychology. Almost every boxing match was full of spectators constantly cheering.

At this moment, the two boxers on the stage were fighting intensely. Almost every punch drew blood, immediately causing the audience to howl like monsters.

Although Lucas had already been through situations much more brutal and bloody than this on the battlefield, he wasn’t a fan of underground boxing for pleasure. He merely looked twice at the center of the ring before shifting his gaze away.

Roman looked at Lucas’s face, exhaled a smoke ring from his mouth, and suddenly asked, “Lucas, after so many years, you suddenly came to me, so it definitely isn’t as simple as catching up with me.”
