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

Chapter 930 - I Reject   



Chapter 930: I Reject

 

Felix made arrangements for Lucas very naturally, seemingly certain that Lucas would agree to his requests.

Indeed, he didn’t think anyone would turn down such temptations.

For any young man, suddenly receiving the position of helmsman of one of the top eight families of DC was an opportunity that was even rarer than winning a 10-million-dollar lottery. Everyone would only wish that they were fortunate enough to obtain such a great chance. No one would refuse it!

Samuel and Ezra both had great indignation in their eyes. The position of the family’s helmsman, which they had been coveting for a long time, was about to land in the hands of an outsider. They naturally gritted their teeth in resentment.

But it was Felix’s instructions. They had been reprimanded just now, so they didn’t dare to oppose him at this time, lest they angered him.

It was the same for the other Howards. Despite feeling extremely upset and indignant, no one dared to speak out to oppose Felix’s decision.

But just as everyone thought that Lucas would agree, they saw him shaking his head and saying calmly, “Did I say I agreed?”

All the Howards were astonished.

“Huh?”

“What did we just hear?”

Felix raised an eyebrow, almost thinking that he heard wrongly, and asked in disbelief, “What did you say? You mean you reject me?”

Lucas smiled slightly and nodded. “Yes! I refuse.

“I will never take Cheyenne back to the Howards or change my last name.

“Furthermore, even without those conditions, I would never agree to become the helmsman of the Howards!

“Maybe in the eyes of many of you, becoming the helmsman of the Howards is something to be proud of and a lifetime pursuit. But in my eyes, things such as being a helmsman and holding power are worthless!

“In my eyes, these things are all illusory and far less important than improving my own abilities. What you and I are pursuing is different.”

Lucas’s eyes were full of confidence and pride. He had his eyes on far more important things and definitely not vulgar things such as fame, fortune, and authority.

If he wanted, he could easily obtain status and authority.

After hearing what Lucas said and seeing the serious look on his face, the Howards took a long time to finally believe that Lucas had really rejected the opportunity to become the helmsman!

Samuel and Ezra instantly looked ecstatic. Haha, this is great!

They were indignant earlier, as they didn’t want the position of helmsman, which they had looked forward to for a long time, to be given to Lucas. But there was no way they could persuade Felix.

But this idiot Lucas actually turned it down and even said a bunch of nonsense.

But Florence was completely enraged by Lucas’s refusal. She glared at him and hollered as if she had expected better from him, “Lucas Gray! What is wrong with you? Do you know what it means to become the helmsman? How precious is it to have such an opportunity?

“My father kindly wants to hand over the position of helmsman to you on account that you’re capable. This is appreciating you and valuing you, yet you actually turned him down! How dare you do that?!”

Due to her extreme anger, Florence’s voice became much sharper as she rebuked Lucas unceremoniously.

Felix looked terribly gloomy as well. He didn’t expect that Lucas would actually refuse his request, not saving him from any embarrassment at all.

“Hah, Lucas Gray, it’s not a good thing for young people to be too arrogant! Do you think that you’re invincible just because your subordinate defeated an expert of my family?

“Hmph, how dare you belittle the position of helmsman? One day, you will regret your decision!”

Lucas looked at the Howards in front of him and suddenly showed a contemptuous smile. These people are so boorish. They lack a ridiculous amount of foresight.

These people were overly proud of being members of the top eight families in DC, and they only had things such as power, wealth, status, and benefits in their eyes. For these things, they lived hypocritical and mercenary lives and would resort to all sorts of schemes.

But Lucas’s horizons and experience were on a completely different level from these people.

After he had experienced so many battles and death on the battlefield of the borders, his strength had improved by leaps and bounds. At the same time, his mindset and vision had also greatly improved.

At the same time, he had seen the countless top powerhouses of the world.

These powerhouses standing at the top were powerful enough to resist an army. The lethality they possessed was enough to destroy a country!

What could the position of helmsman that these Howards were proud of be considered as?

In the face of those truly strong, a top family like the Howards had no means of resistance at all.

Thus, everything they pursued and touted was extremely ridiculous to Lucas.

“What are you laughing about?” Felix frowned in displeasure.

“I just thought of something amusing.” Lucas couldn’t be bothered to continue staying here any longer. Instead of continuing to waste his breath on such nonsense with the Howards, he simply said, “If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving now.”

With that, Lucas strode out of the hall.

“Hold it!” Felix shouted angrily. “Did I say you could leave? You’ve done so many horrible things in our residence, and I wanted to let them pass. I even offered to let you become the next helmsman of the family, yet it seems that you want to do this the hard way!

“In that case, I don’t need to be polite to you anymore!

“Today, that lackey of yours killed an honored guest who came to celebrate my birthday and even injured many of my family’s expert bodyguards. He even had the guts to kill my personal bodyguard! We have to settle scores before you can leave!

“I won’t make things difficult for you. As long as you let your lackey pay for this with his life, I’ll spare you and let you leave.

“Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, you can forget about leaving!”

As Felix roared, two tall and powerful men silently came out from the shadows behind him. They were dressed identically and had identical faces. They even exuded two almost identical auras. They turned out to be a pair of twin powerhouses!
