The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 545 - Firm And Unwavering

Chapter 545 - Firm And Unwavering

Lance dared to swear that in all his years of life, he had never encountered such humiliation!
Indeed, it was a blatant insult and humiliation!
If the people who spoke in front of him were from notable and powerful families in San Francisco, it would still be quite a decent threat. But the people in front of him were from families in LA and Orange County that he belittled. Yet they actually dared to talk to him in such a manner. They were simply disregarding the Kingstons!
"Hah, do you people think you're qualified to make a clamor like this in the Kingstons' territory?"
Lance glared at Damon, Connor, and Joe, who were in the lead. "You are just nobodies from Orange County and LA. Together, none of you are even worthy of carrying my family's shoes! How dare you threaten me? You must be dreaming!"
Damon retorted, "Yes, the Parkers may be very weak compared to the Kingstons. But even families like us know to have some shame and proper manners. The Kingstons are at fault to begin with, but you won't let others seek justice?"
Connor calmed himself down and said in a deep voice, "Yes! If Marc Kingston hadn't abducted Mr. Gray's mother-in-law by force and killed her, he wouldn't have come here to confront you and seek justice! The Kingstons are at fault in the first place. We are willing to help Mr. Gray, and it has nothing to do with family status!"
Joe also stepped forward and said firmly, "Indeed, as you've said, Mr. Kingston, I'm just a nobody. But even a nobody like me knows what loyalty and righteousness are. Even I know how to tell right from wrong! Mr. Kingston, if you can still differentiate between right and wrong, hand over Marc Kingston to us!"
"Yes, immediately hand over Marc Kingston and make him give us a clear explanation about Karen Turner!"
"Indeed. Marc Kingston randomly laid his hands on someone from Orange County. Do you think we're pushovers?"
...
All of a sudden, Damon, Connor, and the others demanded that Lance hand over Marc, the culprit of it all.
The men they had brought with them also chimed in and yelled, "Hand over Marc Kingston!"
"Hand over Marc Kingston!"
"Hand over Marc Kingston!"
"Hand over Marc Kingston!"
...
When Lance heard these yells in unison, his face turned red. How dare these pieces of trash come here to kick up a ruckus and compel me? Outrageous!
"Shut up! Aren't you afraid of the Kingstons retaliating and exterminating your families?" he barked furiously at the top of his lungs.
Damon, Connor, Joe, and the others looked at each other with some tacit understanding before answering in unison, "If we were afraid, we wouldn't have come here!"
They had indeed thought about it for a long time ago before deciding to come to San Francisco to help Lucas. Since they were willing to proceed, they had naturally already considered all the gains and losses, including the possible outcome of facing the revenge and retaliation of the Kingstons and so on.
But regardless of the final outcome, it was enough for them to know that their consciences were clear!
Lance was truly enraged. "It seems that the Kingstons have been keeping too low a profile recently, so much so that you small fries have the delusion that you're capable of throwing a fit here in my residence. In that case, I'll use my strength to show you the consequences of going against the Kingstons!"
Then Lance raised his hand and waved it forward. Thirty men in black immediately emerged from all corners of the manor, forming a loose siege around the more than hundred experts that Damon and the others had brought.
The strength of these men was on a completely different level from those bodyguards that Lucas had knocked down earlier.
It could be said that these men in black were the powerful force that the Kingstons had secretly kept in reserve.
The expressions of Damon and the others all became grave.
Although they had each brought the most powerful subordinates and bodyguards working for them, their resources were indeed a far cry from those of the Kingstons. So even though the strength of these people they had brought wasn't too bad, they paled in comparison to these men in black who worked for the Kingstons.
All of a sudden, everyone seemed to be dismayed.
"Hmph, do you know the difference between the Kingstons, a notable family of San Francisco, and you teeny families now? Of course, there is no great unresolvable feud between us. If you take your people away and leave obediently, I can still pretend that nothing has happened and let bygones be bygones! Otherwise… hah!" Lance issued a threat and left it to Damon, Connor, and the others to choose.
Of course, he would release these people who had the audacity to provoke the Kingstons. But he would definitely destroy them later to make up for the humiliation he had suffered today!
Damon, Connor, Joe, and the others looked at each other while gritting their teeth, none of them willing to retreat by a single step.
Just as Lance's face was incredibly gloomy and he was planning to order the men in black to make a move against Lucas, Lucas suddenly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Kingston, I don't mind giving you a warning. Marc Kingston has killed my mother-in-law, so I'll definitely take him away today. If you know any better, I'll take him alone. But if you don't, don't blame me for making the Kingstons' blood flow all over the ground today!"
When Lance was threatening Damon and the others just now, Lucas didn't step forward to interject or say anything because he wanted to see what choice they would make. If it was just purely for the sake of interests, the smart thing to do would naturally be to obey Lance and draw a clear line between Lucas and themselves.
But these people in front of him didn't choose to do so. Instead, they would rather go against the Kingstons and face their retaliation than turn their backs on him.
Lucas was pleased with the outcome, and he even felt a little touched.
Of course, as long as he was around, he wouldn't let the Kingstons do whatever they wanted.
"Yes, hand Marc Kingston over!"
"Hand Marc Kingston over!"
"Hand Marc Kingston over!"
...
All of a sudden, their yelling filled the air of the manor!
Lance was so furious that his stern face distorted.
The rest of the Kingstons were also enraged.
Being bullied by a group of people who showed up at their place to force them to hand over their family member was the worst humiliation they had ever suffered in the past decade or so!
Meanwhile, Marc, the person they were yelling about, was grimacing in fury.
He was the most qualified and competent member of the Kingston family and also the next successor they were all grooming. Rarely would anyone call him by his full name.
Now, everyone was yelling at him and calling him by his full name in an unbridled manner. It was simply a huge insult!
Lance hollered furiously, "You want to take my grandson away? Dream on!"
Lucas sneered. "Your grandson killed my mother-in-law. Why can't I take him away? I'm sure you're clear on what a life for a life means!"
"Bullshit! My grandson has such a noble status, while your mother-in-law is just an ignorant woman from the countryside. She's not fit to be compared to my grandson at all!"
"Hey, Lance, that doesn't seem right, does it?" All of a sudden, a bell-like voice belonging to an old man came from the gate of the Kingston manor.
