The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray-Chapter 1294 - Lend Them to Me

1294 Lend Them to Me

The Waltons had been destroyed and replaced by the Parkers overnight. Since then, there were many rumors going around about a formidable big shot behind the Parkers, who had supported them in getting rid of the Waltons so quickly.

But no one had seen this mysterious big shot with their own eyes after all, so many people gradually stopped believing that this person really existed.

However, now, even the helmsman of the Williams was behaving so respectfully to Lucas. Moreover, Lucas was clearly close to the Parkers. When Jonah had come to persuade the Parkers to surrender, he had seen Lucas in the master seat.

Altogether, these clues pointed to a single fact?—the mysterious big shot behind the Parkers did exist, and he was Lucas!

When Jonah thought about how he had just insulted Lucas, his legs went limp, and he almost knelt on the floor.

He wasn’t the only one. The helmsmen of the seven families were all dumbfounded and unable to believe the scene in front of them.

But Rayson was still standing in front of Lucas subserviently with his head hung low and his face covered in cold sweat, for fear that Lucas would blame him. They had no choice but to believe the scene in front of them.

Lucas looked at Rayson, who was bowing in front of him, not daring to raise his head, and said coldly, “Mr. Williams, you’re really bold now, huh? Why did you bring so many people to the Parkers? Do you want to destroy them?”

Rayson shuddered in fright and said in a flustered manner, “No, how would I dare? This is a misunderstanding! If I had known about your relationship with the Parkers, I would have never dared to confront them!”

Then Rayson turned around and slapped Jonah’s face again. “It’s all your fault, bastard! How dare you spout nonsense in front of me? See how I’ll deal with you!”

Immediately afterward, he turned to the 200-odd experts he had brought and shouted, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get lost! Don’t offend them!” 𝗳re𝐞𝓌e𝚋n૦ѵ𝗲l. co𝐦

Rayson was really full of regret.

He had met Lucas several times before, but every single time they met, nothing good had happened.

The first time they met was in the Howard residence. Back then, the Piers had instigated Rayson into causing trouble for the Howards and trying to obtain a large amount of their assets after their former helmsman had just passed away and the position of Florence, the new helmsman, had yet to be stabilized.

In the end, not only did he fail to get any benefits, but he had even lost around 20 of the Williams’ elite experts he had brought with him. All of them had been detained by Lucas and converted into the Howards’ manpower.

During their three subsequent meetings, Rayson offended Lucas every single time he met him, and these encounters ended with him kneeling in apology. It made Rayson feel incredibly aggrieved and uncomfortable.

This time, he even brought so many people with him. He was really worried that Lucas might detain them in a fit of anger. The losses would be too great!

Thus, he wanted his people to leave the Parker residence as soon as possible. First, it was to calm Lucas down, and second, it was to make them leave before Lucas got any ideas.

But it seemed that what he dreaded the most was going to happen. Just as the 200-odd people were about to leave, Lucas suddenly said, “Wait!”

Rayson’s heart tensed up, and he quickly asked, “Mr… Mr. Gray, do you have any instructions?”

Lucas took a deep look at Rayson, seemingly seeing through all his thoughts, and smiled. “Mr. Williams, since you’ve brought so many people here, you can’t let them make a wasted trip, right? Leave them behind. I’d like to borrow them for a while.”

Rayson’s heart throbbed painfully, and he almost burst into tears on the spot.

Indeed, what he had dreaded happened. Sure enough, Lucas had set his sights on his subordinates!

He had only brought over 200-odd people, but they were all elites of the Williams, whom they had painstakingly trained!

Lucas borrowing these people from him was no different from daylight robbery.

If Lucas didn’t say anything, how would he dare to ask for them back?

All of a sudden, Rayson felt pain all over his body.

“Mr. Gray, it’s my fault for what happened today! I shouldn’t have brought my subordinates here to cause trouble for the Parkers. Please be magnanimous and let me off. I will never dare to do it again!” Rayson said bitterly, filled with regret.

Lucas sneered. “I’m just borrowing a few people from you. What’s wrong? Are you unwilling?”

Rayson’s body instantly stiffened, and he was at a loss for words.

The helmsmen had heard their conversation and seen their actions. They almost couldn’t believe their eyes and ears.

Was this man apologizing humbly really Rayson Williams, the lofty and noble helmsman of the Williams family?

They were completely flabbergasted, wondering to themselves if they were dreaming.

When Rayson saw Lucas frown, his heart tensed up.

It seemed that if he didn’t give up his subordinates, he really wouldn’t be able to leave in one piece today!

“Mr. Gray, it’s my honor that you want to borrow my subordinates. May I ask how many of them you’d like to borrow?” Rayson said insincerely against his will, feeling incredibly distressed.

Lucas laughed and glanced at the people behind Rayson.

In the military, he had risen through the ranks from a junior soldier to a supreme commander. He could easily tell at a glance how many people there were.

There were a total of 218 people.

“I don’t need all 218 people you’ve brought. Just lend me 150 of them. I’ll return them to you once I’m done,” Lucas said lightly.

Rayson was startled by how Lucas could tell how many people he had brought after taking just one glance. How sharp-eyed.

After hearing the number of people Lucas wanted, Rayson felt relieved.

He had already planned for the worst and thought that Lucas would detain all of them. He didn’t expect Lucas to ask for only 150 of them, leaving 68 behind for him.

He felt much better to be able to keep a third of his subordinates.

“Okay, Mr. Gray. Since you’ve given me this honor, I’ll lend 150 people to you!” Rayson agreed, finding Lucas a little more amiable than usual. So he couldn’t help becoming more courageous and asked boldly, “Mr. Gray, how long will you need them, and what are you going to do with them?”

Lucas glanced at him with a mirthless smile. “Rayson Williams, you’re the helmsman of one of the eight top families of DC. Is there a need for you to be so stingy? I’m only borrowing 150 people from you. Why are you asking so many questions? Are you afraid that I won’t return them to you? Or are you simply unwilling to lend them to me?

“If you really don’t want to lend them to me, just say so. I won’t force you against your wishes. Why do you have to act so stingy?”
