The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 544 - Full Of Ardor

Chapter 544 - Full Of Ardor

Hearing this, Marc took out his phone with certainty and laughed out loud. "I see you're still holding out hope until the last moment! Okay, I'll show you who's in control of your wife now!"
He tapped his phone a few times to make a call.
As soon as the call connected, he turned on the loudspeaker with a triumphant expression and said to Lucas, "I'll let you hear your wife begging for mercy one last time!"
Soon, the sounds of someone talking came from the other end, but it was totally different from what Marc had expected.
"Lucas, we've settled the matters here. A few bugs sneaked over and tried to harm Cheyenne, but we've tied them all up! As long as I'm here, no one will dare to lay a finger on her!"
It was a cheery voice belonging to a man.
The man was Jordan, who had followed Lucas back from the Falcon Regiment in Calico and had been acting as Lucas's right-hand man!
"Impossible!" Marc's expression changed drastically when he heard the words coming over the phone. "Impossible! The people I sent there are absolute experts! They definitely wouldn't have failed!"
"Oh, so you're the idiot who sent those bugs to try to capture Cheyenne? Hmph, how dare you harbor malicious intentions about her? You're dead meat!" Jordan said with contemptuous laughter, dealing a huge blow to Marc.
Marc immediately hung up, as if he'd be able to get rid of his defeat by doing so.
Lucas sneered and remarked snidely, "Hah, idiot!"
Ever since Cheyenne, Charlotte, and Amelia had gotten into dangerous situations one after another, Lucas had been extremely concerned about their safety and went to great lengths to protect them. Previously, Wade had been following Charlotte for a long time to protect her while Stanley protected Cheyenne and Amelia. Generally, Jordan would also secretly protect them after completing his tasks.
After Stanley left Orange County and went to DC with Flynn some time ago, Lucas had instructed Skylar to take over Stanley's task of protecting Cheyenne and Amelia in secret.
When Lucas left Orange County to go to San Francisco to look for Marc, Jordan, whom he had previously sent to train the Hale family members in martial arts, was also transferred back to protect Cheyenne and Amelia.
With the degree of protection Lucas had arranged for his family, it would be impossible for anyone to harm them or take them hostage to threaten him, even if his enemies sent true top experts.
"It seems that your last trump card is gone. What other tricks can you play next?" Lucas looked at the pale Marc, and the killing intent in his eyes intensified further.
Although Marc's move hadn't succeeded, his presumptuous attempt to kidnap Cheyenne and the things he had just said were enough to make Lucas feel an urge to kill him!
Marc was now truly panic-stricken, and he desperately retreated with all his might. But his legs went weak, and he almost tripped over himself.
He began to look extremely wretched, and he no longer seemed as confident as earlier.
At this moment, an old yet austere voice suddenly came from the side. "Kid, you'd better not be so overbearing! Today, you've trespassed in the Kingston manor and wounded so many of our bodyguards. Now, you're even trying to harm my grandson. Don't you think you're going overboard?"
Lucas looked over in the direction of the voice and saw an old man with white hair supporting himself with an expensive wooden cane embellished with large emeralds while walking out from the villa in a rather majestic manner.
When Marc saw him, he immediately rushed over as if he had found a straw to clutch at. "Grandpa, you're finally here! This punk actually wants to kill me!"
The old man who walked over was Lance Kingston, Marc's grandfather and the current helmsman of the Kingston family.
There were also two black-clothed guards with intimidating auras standing behind him, one on his left and one on his right. Their temples were slightly bulging, and they had obviously trained in martial arts.
Lucas burst into laughter. "Overbearing? Look who's speaking!
"I didn't have any dealings with the Kingstons in the past, but your grandson Marc held my mother-in-law captive and killed her. Not only that, but he even used her death to frame me. You have lived for so long, so you shouldn't be an old fool. Why don't you tell us who's being the bully?"
Lance's face immediately turned sullen.
As the head of the Kingstons, a notable family in San Francisco, he was already being kind enough to be willing to step forward and speak to Lucas.
But he hadn't expected Lucas to be so insensitive as to mock him and call him an old fool. He was indeed extremely detestable!
"It's a good thing for young people to have a sense of pride. But if you're too arrogant, you'll bring a deadly disaster upon yourself! If you leave obediently now, I can take it that nothing has happened and spare you this once!"
Lance glowered at Lucas with a somewhat intimidating gaze and seemed to be admonishing and threatening him. He was behaving like he was high up in the air, and his tone was full of condescension, as if he was giving Lucas a huge concession by doing so, and Lucas should just be grateful to him and immediately leave.
"Hmph!" Lucas snorted coldly and laughed in anger. "Spare me? You've misunderstood something! I want to kill Marc Kingston now!"
Lance was angered by Lucas's arrogance. "Punk, seems like you want to do this the hard way. Since you've angered the Kingstons, I'll make sure you can't leave this place today! Don't forget. This is the Kingstons' territory, and you're not fit to cause a stir here!"
If not for the fact that he had noticed how terrifying Lucas's martial arts were when he was watching him fight just now, Lance would have long sent his men to kill Lucas instead of wasting his breath talking to him!
"You said that Mr. Gray isn't fit enough to provoke you, huh? Well then, count the Parkers in!" An old man's voice suddenly came from behind them.
Damon stood with his back straight and walked over on a steady gait with around forty elite bodyguards behind him. Standing together, they emitted an intimidating aura!
"If that's not enough, then count the Hales in too!" As another young voice sounded, Connor also strode in imposingly with dozens of men behind him!
"Count the Little Atlantis City in too!" Joe also appeared in front of the crowd with a group of subordinates, full of zeal and ardor.
"And us…"
...
In an instant, the vast front yard of the Kingston manor was all occupied by the hundred-odd people who rushed in.
The Kingston family bodyguards who were lying on the ground and wailing just now were all being treated as sacks getting in the way and thrown to the side one after another.
When Lance saw this scene, his usually austere face became covered in bulging veins because he was boiling with fury!
