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

There were many armed soldiers and formidable armored vehicles. They were obviously from the military.

When did the Hales provoke the military?

The military had always been a self-contained system that enjoyed a prestigious status, and it would rarely be acquainted with families and corporations.

Furthermore, these military soldiers were all pointing their guns at the Hales, making Bruce feel overwhelmed with nervousness as his heart pounded violently.

Bruce, the oldest, was already so nervous, what more the family members behind him. Facing the numerous muzzles being pointed at them, many of their legs turned weak, and they dared not make a single sound at all, fearing that they might offend the soldiers and end up being shot.

The soldiers had plenty of submachine guns, and at such a close range, they would all die if they were shot!

“All of you, put down your weapons and surrender now! Otherwise, we will open fire. I repeat, all of you put down your weapons and surrender immediately!” A burly man dressed in a military uniform was standing at the front of the line of soldiers and hollering loudly with a cold and gloomy face.

With his order, the two hundred-odd soldiers in green army uniforms behind him lifted the guns in their hands and immediately pulled the bolts before aiming at the Hales.

An overwhelming and unparalleled might filled the entire hall.

Without needing Bruce to give any orders, the guards put their pistols on the ground obediently. They also squatted on the ground and placed their hands on their heads.

All the Hales were frightened and turned to look at Bruce.

At this moment, Bruce was their backbone!

Bruce had no choice but to bite the bullet and get up while forcing himself to stay calm, muster his courage, and put on a forced smile. “Officers, may I ask which unit you’re from? Why… are you suddenly here at the Hale residence? Is there something important that you have to handle?”

The burly man leading the soldiers casually glanced at Bruce and said in a loud and clear voice unique to soldiers, “You don’t need to worry about which unit we’re from. We received a report from an informant that there was a large number of people using restricted firearms in the Hale residence. The situation was terrible, and the consequences could have been extremely serious. Now, after our confirmation, we have gathered conclusive evidence against the Hales! All of you are to come back with us for further investigation!”

As soon as he said this, the Hales turned pale. And many of them fell to the ground, their legs limp.

They subconsciously wanted to defend themselves and say that they had been wronged. But more than ten of the Hales’ guards had been armed with pistols. It was a fact that thousands of guests in the hall all witnessed. Besides, the soldiers also caught them in the act, so regardless of how they argued, there was concrete evidence and no way they could clear their names!

If they were facing someone else, they would still be able to think of a solution and pull all their connections to suppress this matter.

But they were now facing the merciless and impartial military soldiers, whom they didn’t know at all. They didn’t even know which division they were from, and no matter how they tried to use their connections, it would all be to no avail!

It was obviously a killing blow. The fact that they had come at this juncture showed that they were out to nab all the Hales together!

Moreover, Bruce was even certain that there was definitely something fishy about this!

Just now, the burly soldier in front of him, who seemed to be the leader, said that there was an informant who reported that the Hales were in illegal possession of restricted firearms, which was the reason they were here.

But the Hales had hidden those items very well, and they wouldn’t use them unless during critical moments. Just now, he had no choice but to have people come out with those guns because Lucas was just too powerful. He wanted to deter Lucas, and that just happened only a few minutes ago.

But the military had sent so many armored vehicles and soldiers. It was definitely impossible for them to take only a few minutes to show up at the Hales’ doorstep from the time they received the report, followed by the dispatch.

This just showed that the appearance of the military squad was premeditated long ago! It seemed that they were prepared!

Their ultimate goal was to deal a blow to the Hales and nab all of them!

Who is it?

Who planned all this?

Various thoughts rapidly ran through Bruce’s mind, and all of a sudden, a sentence appeared in his mind. “There’s no need for the Hales to exist anymore, and I won’t show you any mercy either.”

That was what Lucas just said ten minutes ago!

Did Lucas Gray plan this?!

Bruce inhaled sharply as he looked at the young man near him in horror.

After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Lucas was here at the Hale residence for the purpose of settling scores with Logan for abducting his daughter, and he wanted the Hales to give him an explanation.

Bruce no longer wanted to think about how the situation escalated out of control and reached this extent.

Lucas indeed had very strong combat skills, and he had also said that he wanted to destroy the Hales in Orange County.

Prior to this, Bruce had always looked down on Lucas, so he didn’t take his words seriously. He felt that Lucas was just a young man who didn’t know any better and was overestimating his own abilities.

But now that so many armed soldiers suddenly appeared in the Hale residence, and the Hales were indeed facing an unprecedented crisis of annihilation, Bruce had a change of mind.

This is definitely not just a coincidence!

His face as pale as a sheet, Bruce looked at Lucas and said in misery, “I was wrong. You are indeed not an ordinary person. What exactly is your identity?”

Lucas smiled. “What exactly is my identity? I’m just a live-in son-in-law who is worthless. Didn’t you already say this clearly just now?”

Bruce was stunned. Those were the remarks that he, his grandson, and others made about Lucas.

He believed them and so had been thinking that Lucas was just an insignificant small fry. Thus, he didn’t pay any attention to Lucas’s words, as he merely thought that he could easily crush this annoying bug.

But Bruce now realized that he was wrong! Extremely wrong!

“Mr. Gray, I hereby apologize to you for having offended you earlier. I hope that you will forgive us for our ignorance and offensive behavior. I promise that if you let us off now, we will be loyal to you in the future and obey all your commands!” Bruce said decisively after gritting his teeth.
