The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 958

Chapter 958: The Problem Doesn’t Lie With Me
The reason Damien could become the chief of the Peerless Martial Association’s US headquarters was definitely not that he was a reckless man with superb martial arts skills. On the contrary, his mind and wisdom were much better than most people’s.
Thus, just based on the power of Lucas’s kick just now, Damien concluded that Lucas definitely wasn’t a simple person.
Possessing such terrifying strength at such a young age showed that he definitely had an extremely powerful and terrifying background.
Even though he was now the chief of the Peerless Martial Association’s US headquarters, he didn’t dare to kill Lucas rashly.
“Since you’re so eager to know, I don’t mind telling you. I’m just an abandoned child of the Huttons,” Lucas said calmly with a smile.
He naturally wouldn’t easily reveal his other identity.
Given Damien’s abilities, he would definitely be able to find out about his blood ties with the Huttons soon.
As for whether or not Damien could guess the other matters, it would depend on his abilities.
As expected, after hearing what Lucas said, Damien frowned slightly with a solemn expression.
Abandoned child of the Huttons… In that case, Lucas should have something to do with the Huttons of DC.
But his skills were absolutely not obtained from the Huttons.
Even Michael, the current helmsman of the Huttons, and his son Jace wouldn’t be able to reach the terrifying level of this young man in front of him.
This could only mean that there was something more to Lucas that he wasn’t willing to say.
Damien narrowed his eyes as he sized up Lucas and Jordan again.
Based on their demeanor and aura, Damien vaguely sensed an aura of tough vigor from them.
Only people who had experienced life and death on the battlefield would have such an aura.
After Damien deliberated slightly, his expression suddenly changed as he roughly guessed Lucas’s true identity and background.
If he was really from that place…
“Hah, so that’s how it is! It seems the Huttons really lack good judgment to have missed a talent like you. I reckon they’ll definitely regret it when they find out!” Damien sighed emotionally and suddenly ordered the powerhouses of the Peerless Martial Association he had brought. “Stand back, all of you.”
With his order, the experts of the Peerless Martial Association scattered around the villa and surrounding the Howards, Lucas, and Jordan all retreated behind Damien.
Seeing this, the Howards immediately looked shocked. Is the Peerless Martial Association… going to let us off?
Damien looked at Lucas. “For your sake, I can give you a chance and forgive the Howards for what happened today.
“But powerhouses of the Peerless Martial Association have died at the Howard residence. If I return just like that, I won’t be able to explain it to my comrades.”
Hearing Damien’s intentions to let it go but needed an out to do so, Lucas asked, “What do you want then?”
Damien smiled. “I need a reasonable explanation.”
Lucas thought about it and said to Florence, “Hand Ezra over to him.”
Florence froze in shock but immediately followed Lucas’s instructions and instructed her subordinates to drag the unconscious Ezra to the front.
Damien glanced at Ezra and recognized him to be the most outstanding third-generation scion of the Howards. He asked with raised brows, “Why?”
Lucas said, “Since you’re here, I can let you know what happened between me and the Peerless Martial Association.”
“First of all, it was Julian York of the Peerless Martial Association who took the initiative to come to California and asked to hold a tournament to fight with me to the death. I defeated him and killed him in the arena. Is this my fault?”
Damien said with raised brows, “Since Julian took the initiative to find you and ended up dying in the arena, it indeed isn’t your fault.”
Lucas smiled faintly. “Alright. Next is about Dwayne. I had no feud with him, and I didn’t even know him. But someone instigated him to stop me while I was on my way back from the Howards’. He wanted to kill me to avenge Julian but was killed by me instead. Is this also my fault?”
Damien immediately frowned.
They were all martial artists, and it was common for them to fight and kill to take revenge. If Dwayne had really taken the initiative to seek revenge against Lucas but ended up getting killed by him instead, it indeed wasn’t Lucas’s fault.
After all, Dwayne was the one who provoked Lucas first. It would be unreasonable if Dwayne could try to kill Lucas, but Lucas wasn’t allowed to fight back.
“Okay, if the truth is really as you said, it’s Dwayne’s fault for provoking you when he’s not as skilled as you. It’s not your fault for killing him since he provoked you first,” Damien said in a deep voice.
Lucas nodded. “Next is Hades. Both he and Dwayne were in similar situations. They both died because someone deliberately tipped them off, and then they came to me for revenge.”
Lucas was a little vague about what had happened to Hades, and he even took the blame for it. Otherwise, if the Howards were accused of manslaughter, it would lead to another slew of issues. It would then be hard for the Howards to get away with it.
“…” After hearing what Lucas said, Damien was speechless for a while.
When he first heard that Lucas had killed three of the top ten powerhouses of the Peerless Martial Association in a row, he was furious and wanted to capture Lucas to make Lucas answer to him.
But after hearing Lucas’s explanation that the three of them had taken the initiative to provoke Lucas and eventually got killed, he felt that it indeed wasn’t Lucas’s fault.
In the end, Lucas kicked Ezra, who was on the ground, with his toe and said to Damien, “The person who instigated Dwayne to kill me, wanting to use the Peerless Martial Association to kill me, is Ezra Howard, the most scheming third-generation scion of the Howard family.
“So, I will hand this person over to you and leave him at the disposal of the Peerless Martial Association. This is the explanation I’m going to give you.
“Mr. Damien, are you satisfied with this explanation?”
Damien had an extremely gloomy expression on his face. He was livid at the thought of Dwayne and Hades dying because of Ezra.
But since they were already dead and Lucas had cooperatively handed over the culprit for his disposal, Lucas had given him an out.
Next, it was up to him to decide whether or not to accept it.
