The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 1297 - 1297 Rearing Future Troubles

Chapter 1297 - 1297 Rearing Future Troubles

1297 Rearing Future Troubles
What Lucas said was like a bolt of lightning striking Jonah’s head, causing him to black out.
Lucas actually wanted to purchase the Fullers’ assets worth 10 billion dollars for merely 100 million dollars?
He would never agree to this!
“You’re bullying me too much! Even if I die, I will never sell the Fullers’ assets to you at such a low price! I will fight you to the death!”
Jonah was so furious that he became dizzy. Anger surged within him, and he couldn’t care less about anything else. Somehow, he found the strength to get up from the floor and rush at Lucas.
It seemed he wanted Lucas to perish with him.
But even if Jonah wanted to die together with Lucas, he definitely didn’t have the ability to do so.
Before Lucas even said anything, two experts of the Parkers charged over and pinned Jonah down to the floor, rendering him immobile.
Unable to break free after a futile struggle, Jonah could only turn his head and curse, “Let go of me! You bastards! You want to rob my family? Over my dead body! Even if you kill me, I will never sell out my family’s assets to you!”
Lucas’s expression remained unchanged as he listened to Jonah’s hollering.
If Jonah had indeed really just come to recruit the Parkers under Rayson’s orders, Lucas wouldn’t hold it against him.
But after he spared Jonah, Jonah didn’t cherish the opportunity and instead added fuel to the fire and tried to sow discord between Rayson and the Parkers. He even instigated Rayson to bring a large number of people to the Parkers’ and wanted to raze the Parkers to the ground.
In particular, Jonah openly lied and instigated Rayson in front of Lucas, Damon, and the rest. This made Lucas decide not to let him off easily.
Jonah had to bear the consequences and pay the price for his own actions. He deserved it.
Looking at Jonah struggling, Lucas smiled and said, “Mr. Fuller, you should know very well what you did before coming here. I want to acquire your family’s assets. Even if it’s daylight robbery, it’s the price you should pay.
“Even if you disagree, what can you do? If I kill you right now and plunder the assets of the Fullers without spending a single cent, what can you do to me?”
Jonah’s bloodshot eyes shook a little, and he finally calmed down from his mania.
Indeed, Lucas was right. With his abilities, he had easily snatched the Waltons’ assets and made Rayson, the helmsmen of one of the eight top families of DC, tremble in fear. If he wanted to snatch the Fullers’ assets by force, there was truly nothing Jonah could do!
What qualifications did he have to negotiate with Lucas and refuse to sell his family’s assets to him?
Now, even his life was in Lucas’s hands. Whether he could survive was dependent on Lucas’s instructions!
After thinking about his current plight, Jonah immediately broke out in cold sweat all over his body.
At this moment, he finally realized how rash he was just now.
He actually wanted to fight Lucas to the death to prevent Lucas from taking his family’s assets. He had been overestimating himself!
To Lucas, he was just like a small bug that Lucas could easily crush to death!
Jonah turned pale and begged Lucas, “Mr. Gray, I… I really know my mistakes! If you want to take the Fullers’ assets, then they’re yours! I only have a small request. I just hope that you don’t drive me out of DC and let me stay by your side!
“Even if I’m merely a peon by your side, I’m willing!”
His words and sudden change in attitude made Lucas feel surprised.
“You want to follow me? Why?” Lucas asked.
Jonah had already thought it through and made up his mind. He said decisively, “I was blind by greed just now. That’s why I made so many mistakes. But now, I’ve realized that you’re not an ordinary person, Mr. Gray. I want to follow you to learn more!
“I can tell that you have great ambitions, Mr. Gray. You acquired all of the Waltons’ assets and handed them to the Parkers to manage, helping them rise to power and become the most powerful family under the eight top families. I think you want to turn the Parkers into one of the top families or even surpass them, right?
“In that case, I’m also willing to hand the Fullers over to you. The Fullers’ assets might be of help to you.
“And to be honest, I’m the one who worked hard to attain the majority of the Fullers’ assets, and I’m the one most familiar with the Fullers’ businesses. I can develop them to greater heights as well!
“If you’re willing to take me in and let me manage the Fullers’ businesses on your behalf, I believe your lofty ambitions will be realized sooner and better!”
Although Jonah was being pressed to the floor by two tall and burly bodyguards and looked distressed, his words were extremely passionate and confident.
His conjectures weren’t completely wrong. But Lucas didn’t only want to turn the Parkers into a top family that could rival or even surpass the eight top families. He also wanted to nurture the Coles and Hales to that level so that they and the Parkers could form a powerful group.
Of course, Lucas didn’t have to tell Jonah about this.
But it had to be said that what Jonah had just said changed Lucas’s impression of him. He thought that Jonah wasn’t that stupid after all.
At this moment, Damon moved close to Lucas and whispered into his ear, “Mr. Gray, Jonah Fuller truly has some skills. He played an instrumental role in developing the Fullers into a second-tier family with a net worth of billions in less than two decades. If you keep him around and bring him under your command, he might be of great help to you in the future.”
Lucas glanced at Damon in surprise.
He thought that Damon was completely disappointed in Jonah, but he didn’t expect Damon to put in a good word for Jonah and ask him to keep him around.

Damon had been in DC for a few months and had a lot of information about many second-tier families in DC. Since Damon said that he was someone Lucas could use, Jonah was clearly somewhat competent.
But Jonah’s shortcomings were also obvious. If he kept Jonah around, he might be rearing future troubles.
This was something worth considering.
