The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 948

Chapter 948: Death
The moment the gunshot sounded, Jordan had no time to react. But Hades, who was standing a meter away from Jordan, shuddered and then pressed straight toward Jordan.
Jordan was still thinking about the gunshot when Hades suddenly slammed him onto the ground.
The Howards were all watching this scene with dumbfounded expressions, clueless about what was going on.
Felix, the head of the Howards, had a trace of smugness in his eyes as he heaved a sigh of relief.
Jordan was finally killed by the person he arranged.
“I didn’t expect the Howards to do such a thing.” Lucas’s cold voice suddenly filled the air.
The rest of the Howards looked puzzled.
They wondered what Lucas meant.
Felix sneered. “Lucas Gray, you can’t spout nonsense like that. I don’t know what you mean.
“Your subordinate was so arrogant. Who knows who he’s offended. Now that he’s been shot dead, he’s only getting what he deserves!”
…
Lucas smiled faintly. “You’d better save your explanation for the Peerless Martial Association!”
Bang!
Felix suddenly had an ominous hunch.
Jordan was Lucas’s subordinate and best friend. Now that he was dead, Lucas still didn’t seem sad at all. In fact, he was even smiling.
It… it shouldn’t be like this.
Felix had planned to order his subordinates to kill Lucas while he was flustered because of Jordan’s death.
But now that Lucas was extremely calm and even smiling, his heart sank as he felt extremely unconfident.
Just as Felix was feeling anxious and thinking about Lucas’s strange behavior, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.
“Lucas! Are you alright?”
Felix abruptly turned around and saw Jordan, whom he thought had been killed, climbing up from the ground and quickly walking toward Lucas.
Jordan was agile and full of vigor, completely unlike someone who had been shot.
Felix’s heart immediately sank as he glanced at Hades behind Jordan.
But Hades was now lying on the ground, probably because Jordan had just pushed him off his body. He was looking up and staring into the dark starry sky with empty eyes that contained his confusion just before dying.
Boom!
Felix only felt his head buzzing, as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning, and his mind instantly went blank.
“He… he…”
At this moment, a butler beside Felix hurriedly ran over to check on Hades’s condition before hurrying back in panic. He reported in a shaky voice, “Mr… Mr. Howard… Hades… Hades is dead!”
Felix only felt that all his body’s strength was drained at this moment. If not for the twin experts reaching out to support him, Felix would have fallen to the ground.
“How could… how could the person who died be Hades? That’s impossible!” Felix muttered in disbelief.
The people at the side probably had no idea what the gunshot was, but Felix was well aware of it.
Reason being, Felix had arranged for this person to kill Jordan.
When Felix noticed that there was something wrong with Hades, he had immediately made a call and arranged for his subordinates to take action.
After all, if Hades really died in the Howard residence, the Peerless Martial Association would definitely hold them responsible.
Even if he said that Hades didn’t die at the hands of the Howards and that Lucas and Florence had been kicked out of the Howards and no longer had anything to do with the Howards, the Peerless Martial Association still definitely wouldn’t let them off easily.
Thus, Hades couldn’t die no matter what. In that case, the person who had to die was definitely Jordan and Lucas.
But Felix never expected that Jordan wouldn’t die, while the person who got shot and died was Hades!
He felt his vision turning black, and his heart was completely panicked.
But he was a sly old fox who had been holding great power and authority in the Howards for decades. Since the matter had already happened, it was too late for regret and fear.
So after the initial panic and fear, Felix gritted his teeth and began to think about how to resolve the crisis facing him.
Soon, he came up with an idea.
Felix suddenly glowered at Lucas and hollered at him, “Lucas Gray! I never thought that you’d be so audacious as to kill not only Dwayne of the Peerless Martial Association but also Hades! You’re really daring!
“When the other members of the Peerless Martial Association come over to pursue the responsibility later, I will definitely tell them the truth about this matter!” Felix said righteously, as if he was harming his family for the sake of justice.
The rest of the Howards suddenly widened their eyes in surprise.
That gunshot was actually arranged by Lucas?
On the other hand, Lucas was almost amused by Felix’s brazen and self-righteous words.
“Mr. Howard, is it true that the older you are, the thicker your skin is? I’m really amazed by how good you are at lying through your teeth!” Lucas smiled mockingly.
Felix’s face was covered in righteous indignation, and he didn’t blush at all. “Is that the attitude you should have when speaking to your elders? The Peerless Martial Association’s expert Hades was shot and killed by someone you secretly arranged. Do you still dare to deny it?”
Lucas snorted coldly. He couldn’t be bothered to continue wasting his breath on Felix, who was deliberately feigning ignorance. He said to Jordan, “Go to that building at your nine o’clock that’s a kilometer and a half away.”
As a subordinate who had followed Lucas for years, Jordan immediately understood what Lucas meant. He glared at Felix and then immediately sprinted toward the building Lucas mentioned.
When Felix heard Lucas mention the building, his face immediately shuddered, and a look of horror appeared.
This building was exactly where the sniper ambushed at!
But this location was told to him via a text message from the sniper. How could Lucas possibly know?!
“What… what are you talking about? Don’t think you people can fabricate something to frame the Howards!” Felix said to Lucas through gritted teeth. At the same time, he turned to look at one of the twin experts, wanting to inform the sniper to leave his spot immediately.
But at this moment, Lucas looked at them with a smirk. “If anyone dares to act rashly, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
