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

1277 Acting First

Looking at Chace trying so hard to get himself out of trouble, Lucas found it ridiculous.

Indeed, Chase was truly a villain.

“Chace, do you mean your words don’t count for anything?” Lucas looked at him with a smile while remaining sitting.

Chace was indeed very thick-skinned and didn’t feel ashamed at all. Instead, he even said to Lucas, “No matter what, we were good friends back in high school, weren’t we? Why do you have to be so calculative with me?

!!

“Look, I’m now a streamer with 4.7 million followers, and you happen to know Mr. Parker. In this case, why don’t you introduce me to Mr. Parker and let me work at his company as an official employee?

“I believe that as long as I can get some resources from Kenneth Media Agency Co, I will definitely become a top streamer in the industry. When the time comes, I’ll make a lot of money regardless of whether I do mukbang or variety streams or even sell merchandise. And once I make money, the company will make more money too. It’ll be a win-win situation for us!

“Lucas, what do you think of this idea? Since everyone will make money, you won’t turn me down, will you?”

Chace really dared to think of anything. As soon as he saw that Lucas was friends with Kenneth, he immediately thought of this crazy idea.

Even Lucas was almost speechless about Chace shamelessly trying to pull some strings to benefit himself.

“Of course I refuse. Chace, do you think we’re fools?” Lucas shook his head.

Kenneth had long been displeased with this villain Chace. After hearing him audaciously say that he wanted to become a streamer of his company and that he hoped for the Parkers to give him resources, claiming that it was a win-win deal, Kenneth felt utterly disgusted.

“Damn it! Who do you think you are? How dare you call yourself a famous streamer? You even want the Parkers’ support? Dream on!”

Unable to bear it anymore, Kenneth rushed forward to kick Chace on the shoulder. “An idiot like you isn’t even worthy of being a janitor at my company. Hurry up and get lost!

“Since you’re so shameless and call yourself a famous streamer, I will make sure you never make it in this industry!”

Kenneth ordered, “Break his limbs and dump him in the slums. Let him live as a beggar for three months before releasing him!

“Didn’t he insult Mr. Gray and call him homeless just now? In that case, let him have a taste of what it’s like to be a homeless beggar!”

Kenneth didn’t know that Chace had said such things to Lucas earlier, and he flew into a rage the moment he heard them from Lewis.

If he hadn’t noticed that Lucas didn’t intend to have Chace killed, Chace would definitely die today!

Chace was thunderstruck. Only now did he realize that even though he had always thought he was a famous streamer, he was just an insignificant small fry to Kenneth, the scion of the Parkers. With just one order from Kenneth, he would be banished to hell immediately!

Breaking his limbs and making him live as a beggar for three months was completely unacceptable to Chace!

“No, no, Mr. Parker, please just let me off! Lucas, quickly say something! I know I’m a bastard who looks down on others. I spoke without thinking. Please spare my life! I… I will quit being a streamer and go back to my hometown and never appear in front of you again! Please…”

Lucas was expressionless and didn’t say anything.

He naturally wouldn’t believe what Chace said.

In fact, even if Lucas let him off, for a villain like him, he would definitely seek revenge against Lucas if he got the chance.

In that case, why should Lucas let him off?

Soon, a few security guards gagged Chace, who was constantly pleading for mercy, broke his limbs on the spot, and dragged him out.

Now, the annoying people had finally been cleared from the room.

Knowing that Kean had him, Lewis didn’t dare to stay any longer. He went to vent all his anger on Chace and Kean, the two culprits, and watched them get punished.

In any case, he wouldn’t let these two off easy!

After all the irrelevant people left, Damon immediately said to Lucas guiltily, “Lucas, I’m really sorry!”

Lucas shook his head. “It has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to blame yourself. Come on, let’s continue the meal!”

Lucas started eating first.

Only then did the others finally relax again and continue to speak about other things happily.

After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Lucas suddenly looked at Damon and asked, “Damon, I heard that many families in DC are about to make trouble. It seems they’re displeased with the Parkers?”

After Damon heard this, a few traces of worry appeared on Damon’s face. He sighed and nodded with a heavy heart. “Yeah. With your help, we’ve taken over all the businesses left behind by the Waltons and become the family second to the eight top families of DC.

“But our foundation is unstable after all, and we haven’t been able to gain a firm foothold in DC, so some families refuse to acknowledge us. Moreover, they want to suppress us and encroach on our businesses so that they can replace us.

“They haven’t done anything particularly big yet, and only some small-scale struggles have broken out. But I reckon we’re not far from a big fight. When the time comes, it’ll be a tough battle for us, and the slightest slip-up might cause us to suffer immense losses.”

Lucas nodded in understanding.

Damon was right. These major families in DC had all been developing for decades to attain the power they had now.

The more elite they were, the more intense the competition was. It was only normal for people to strive to be at the top.

However, a small family from Orange County actually took over the Waltons’ businesses within a few months and surpassed many other families at once. Of course, this aroused the displeasure and jealousy of many families.

If these families joined forces, the Parkers might really suffer immense losses.

After thinking about it, Lucas said, “How about this? Hold a banquet tomorrow and invite all the major families who have something against the Parkers. We’ll deal with them once and for all.”

“Once and for all?” Damon looked at Lucas in puzzlement.

The others at the table also looked confused, wondering what Lucas meant.

Lucas smiled. “Don’t those families want to gang up on the Parkers? Then we can simply act first, gather all these people together, and deal with them all at once!”
