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

1257 Probe

“The commanders of the eastern territory and southern territory are not to be trifled with, especially the commander of the southern territory, the captain of the Falcon Regiment. He’s very domineering and protective of his subordinates. If Lucas Gray is really his former subordinate, and we hurt him, I’m afraid even the Hamiltons won’t be able to resist his wrath.”

Jensen’s heart sank.

Indeed, this was what they were concerned about before.

Even though Lucas had left the military and was no longer a subordinate of one of the four commanders, it was normal for people to be protective of their comrades. In case they angered a supreme commander, there would be massive trouble.

!!

“Elder Linus, what do you think we should do now?” Jensen asked respectfully.

After carefully thinking about it, Linus said, “I think we’d better think this through and plan carefully, lest we provoke someone we can’t afford to provoke.”

Jensen’s eyes were bloodshot, and he said unwillingly, “But the evidence shows that Angus was really harmed by Lucas Gray. Am I supposed to just let him off?

“If we can’t kill Lucas Gray and avenge Angus, I will never be at peace!”

Brett was just as unwilling. He had been very close to Angus, and now that Angus had undoubtedly been killed by Lucas, he obviously couldn’t tolerate it. Was he supposed to not avenge his brother and not kill the culprit?

They were the Hamiltons, an esteemed US royal family branch. How could they possibly lower themselves and avoid Lucas out of fear?

Linus glanced at them and said calmly, “Mr. Jensen, with all due respect, if Mr. Angus has really encountered a mishap, there’s no way we can revive him even if you kill Lucas Gray now.

“The most important thing now is not revenge but securing your status in the family and striving to become the next helmsman. Isn’t that so? In this critical moment, you should stabilize yourself and not cause trouble for the family by provoking a supreme commander for the sake of revenge.

“They say it’s never too late for revenge. It won’t be too late for you to settle scores with Lucas Gray after you become the helmsman.”

What Linus said was like a bucket of cold water pouring over the angry and indignant Jensen, immediately calming him down.

Indeed, Linus was right. Even if they killed Lucas now, it wouldn’t bring Angus back to life.

Instead of creating trouble for the family because of this matter, thereby causing him to fall out of contention for the position of the Hamiltons’ helmsman, he should bear with it for now and let Lucas live a few more days before settling scores with him in the future!

After calming down, Jensen immediately bowed to Linus, “Thank you for the reminder, Elder Linus. I’m truly grateful!”

Linus moved aside slightly and said with a smile, “Don’t stand on ceremony with me, Mr. Jensen. I didn’t say anything worthy of your gratitude.”

Jensen understood what Linus meant. Linus had always been a neutral party in the family, but he had given Jensen a huge favor by giving him a reminder. However, he couldn’t let their conversation spread, lest he put Linus on the spot.

“Yes, I understand. I won’t forget your kindness in the future, Elder Linus!” Jensen said sincerely.

Linus smiled. “Although I don’t think we can kill him now, we can still probe Lucas. I’ll go meet him later.”

Jensen said gratefully, “Okay, thank you so much, Elder Linus!”

Then he gave Linus some information about Lucas, such as his address, photos, and so on.

“Alright, I got it. I won’t go back to the hotel with you. We’ll talk again after I meet Lucas Gray. Mr. Jensen, Mr. Brett, you two head back first!”

Linus was extremely interested in Lucas. After getting information about him, he asked the driver to pull over and proceeded to look for Lucas.

Jensen didn’t stop him and bid goodbye to him respectfully.

After watching Linus leave, Brett finally said, “Dad, do we really have to bear with it and let Lucas Gray stay alive for longer? He killed Angus. I really want to kill him right now to avenge Angus!”

Jensen patted his son on the shoulder. “Brett, calm down. Don’t be impatient. I feel the same as you do, and I wish I could kill Lucas Gray immediately to make him pay for Angus’s life.

“But if we can’t tolerate this, we will incur greater trouble. Your grandfather is getting old, and it’s time for us to pick the next helmsman. We mustn’t be reckless now, lest we miss the opportunity.

“Don’t worry. Once I become the next helmsman and take over the entire family, I will be able to deploy all the Hamiltons’ elites and kill Lucas Gray! I’ll make sure he dies miserably to atone for his sins!”

Brett naturally knew that his father made sense.

Indeed, they didn’t have to rush to take revenge. The most important thing now was to make sure Jensen became the next helmsman.

Under this premise, they could postpone everything else.

But he would absolutely capture Lucas one day and kill him with his own hands to avenge Angus!

…

At 10 a.m., in the chairman’s office of the Stardust Corporation’s Orange County branch…

Lucas was sitting in the office with a large stack of documents on the large desk in front of him.

They were all important documents that he, the chairman, needed to sign.

After all, he would soon be leaving Orange County and going to DC to develop. Although the Orange County branch would be staying, there were many business and administrative issues for Lucas to handle, especially since there would be a major personnel shift.

But while Lucas was carefully going through the documents, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis and a strange aura.

He put down the pen in his hand, walked to the window with a frown, and peered below.

From more than a dozen floors above ground, the traffic and pedestrians on the streets looked minuscule.

But among the bustling crowd, Lucas accurately spotted an old man standing opposite the Stardust Corporation building.

It was a man in his sixties with a white beard and hair, clad in a white shirt and pants. He wasn’t actually that inconspicuous at first glance.

But Lucas had his eyes firmly fixed on him.

It was Linus, the old man who had gotten out of Jensen’s car not long ago!

Based on the information that Jensen had given him, Linus arrived at the entrance of the Stardust Corporation’s Orange County branch office and was still contemplating how he should probe Lucas.

At this moment, he seemed to feel a strange gaze on him. He raised his head and looked up.

When Linus looked into the pair of calm eyes on the top floor of the Stardust Corporation building, his heart immediately skipped a beat, and all the hair on his body stood on end!
