The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 796 - Test

Chapter 796 Test

Seeing Noah’s actions, the people present had a drastic change in expression.
“Noah Campbell, what are you trying to do?! Hurry up and put the gun down!” Edmund shouted at Noah, pointing his finger at him with a look of horror on his face.
Damon frantically rebuked, “Noah Campbell, do you know what you are doing? If you dare to shoot Mr. Gray, none of your family members will survive!”
“Hah, you people already want me dead. Do you still want me to sit back and do nothing?” Noah held the pistol with a look of mania. “I’m about to die now. Why should I bother about the Campbells? Since you want me dead, I’ll kill you first!”
Sitting on the couch, Lucas looked composed as he said contemptuously, “I knew you’d rebel against me. In that case, I can’t keep you around.”
“Screw you! Go to hell now!” Noah shouted and suddenly pulled the trigger.
Bang!
There was an explosive sound, but it wasn’t the sound of a bullet leaving the pistol. Instead, it was the sound of the pistol suddenly breaking into two.
Even though Noah’s finger had already pulled the trigger, the internal parts of the gun were already destroyed, so it was no longer functional.
Deep horror appeared in Noah’s eyes. He couldn’t figure out what had happened and why the pistol suddenly broke and turned into a pile of scrap.
Immediately afterward, a sharp pain came from Noah’s wrist. “Ah! M-My wrist!” Noah wailed in pain as he held his wrist.
Just now, a thin business card suddenly darted out of Lucas’s hand.
Although it was just a thin piece of paper, it was like the sharpest blade in the world. Not only did it cut the hard gun barrel into two but also Noah’s wrist! Blood gushed out of Noah’s severed wrist as he shrieked in misery, making people’s hearts tremble.
The seven helmsmen, who had just drunk the poisoned wine, were frightened by the situation in front of them and were shuddering from head to toe, not daring to breathe at all.
Lucas managed to cut the barrel of a gun and sever Noah’s wrist with a business card that he casually flicked out. They didn’t doubt the consequences if the business card struck someone’s neck.
It’s no wonder that Mr. Gray is the overlord of both states. How terrifying!
Edmund instructed the bodyguards behind him, “Drag him away!” The two bodyguards immediately stepped forward and dragged Noah, who was shrieking and rolling around, out of the room.
No one asked where Noah would be taken because the result was already obvious. From the moment he dared to aim his gun at Lucas, he was destined to die.
The other people were trembling incessantly, clueless about what would happen to them next. Moreover, they had all just chosen to drink the poisoned wine, and they didn’t know when they would die. They still wanted to return to their families before their deaths so that they could arrange some matters and say their last words to them.
“You guys should go, but I hope that you can all remember one thing. I won’t mistreat those who serve me with sincerity. But if you have a change of heart and decide to betray me in the future, you will face the same fate as Noah Campbell!” Lucas glanced at the helmsmen of the seven Oregon families indifferently.
A trace of puzzlement appeared on the faces of the seven helmsmen.
What did Lucas’s words… mean? Didn’t they already drink the poisoned wine? What else was there?
“Do you really think that Mr. Gray would poison you all to death?” Edmund smiled. “You have passed the test. This is a chance that Mr. Gray has given you! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and thank Mr. Gray!”
Only then did it dawn on them that Lucas didn’t intend to poison them. But rather, he was just testing them using the poisoned wine.
“Thank you, Mr. Gray!”
“In the future, you will be the overlord of both states, and we won’t betray you!”
“Yes, we will do whatever you tell us to do in the future, Mr. Gray. We absolutely won’t betray you!”
These helmsmen promised one after another. They had all thought that they would die for sure, but they didn’t expect to get a chance of survival. Everyone was full of excitement.
“How can I trust someone willing to abandon their own family to be loyal to me?” Lucas said indifferently and then stood up to leave the reception room.
Shortly after Lucas left the San Francisco International Expo Center, someone immediately greeted him from not far away. But when he was about to reach Lucas, he subconsciously stopped and said somewhat nervously, “Mr… Mr. Gray.”
Lucas glanced at the man. “What Mr. Gray? We’ve been buddies for years. What are you getting up to?”
This person was Asher, Lucas’s close friend back in high school.
Asher was extremely nervous, mainly because he was worried that he might not be able to speak to Lucas like he used to since Lucas’s current status was very different from before.
After hearing what Lucas said, he finally believed that Lucas’s attitude toward him was still the same as before, making him feel much more relaxed.
Just as Asher smiled and was about to talk to Lucas, two eager voices suddenly came out from behind him.
“Mr. Gray! Hello, I’m Asher’s fiancée, Lily. Since you and Asher are buddies, that makes us all friends!”
“Hello, Mr. Gray! I’m Asher’s good friend Summer and also your admirer- I didn’t expect to meet you here today. Words can’t describe how happy I am!” Both Lily and Summer sprinted over on high heels to greet Lucas fawningly.
They refused to mention that they had just mocked Lucas and humiliated him in various ways and instead pretended that nothing had happened as they started introducing themselves to Lucas.
Lucas sneered and said sarcastically, “I’m just a poor loser, as you two have mentioned earlier. I’m probably not qualified to talk to
you.”
Even though Lily and Summer were thick-skinned, they were a little embarrassed at this moment. But they would never let go of the opportunity to get acquainted with the overlord of two states!
“It… it was all a misunderstanding. We didn’t mean that at all, hehehe. Asher, quickly help us explain to Mr. Gray! Hurry!” Lily smiled awkwardly and secretly poked Asher with her arm, urging him to speak up for her.
