The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 1370  Unexpected Kill

Chapter 1370 Unexpected Kill

"You… you!" When Derek saw the pistol pointing at his forehead, his heart started pounding crazily. His face was full of horror, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence.
Seeing the murderous intent in Eric's eyes, Derek knew that Eric really dared to kill him!
The hatred of killing someone's son was irreconcilable. The Piers had killed Eric's son, Mark, in order to frame Lucas. Now that Eric wanted to avenge his son, no one could raise any objections.
But Derek didn't want to die!
"No… Eric, let's talk calmly. Don't be rash… Don't shoot!" Derek stammered, his head covered in cold sweat. "I admit that the Piers did you a disservice, Eric, but the dead can't come back to life. Even if you kill me, your son… He won't be able to come back to life.
"As long as you're willing to let me go, I'm willing to give you half of the Piers' businesses as compensation!"
Eric narrowed his eyes and snorted in disdain. "Only half? Derek, since you think your life is so worthless, I might as well grant your wish and let you die."
Then Eric pressed the muzzle of the pistol in his hand against Derek's forehead.
"Ah, no, don't! Eric, I misspoke just now. I'm willing to give you all the Piers' businesses! Everything! Just spare my life!"
Eric smiled and said in satisfaction, "That's more like it."
Then he waved his hand, and a bodyguard behind him immediately took out a few contracts and handed them to Eric respectfully.
"However, it's just talk now. Derek, I want you to sign these contracts. After you sign them, I'll fulfill my promise and let you off!"
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that Eric had already prepared the transfer contracts. It seemed like he had already planned to take over all of the businesses in Derek's hands.
Lucas looked at Eric and narrowed his eyes.
He originally thought that Eric wanted to kill Derek to avenge his son. He didn't expect that his With Derek's understanding of Eric, he definitely wouldn't dare to do such a dangerous thing.
ultimate goal was to take away all of Piers' businesses justifiably.
However, the Piers were already in Lucas's pocket. Furthermore, they were surrounded by the people from Lucas's forces. Eric's actions were snatching from Lucas!
Eric was too arrogant!
When Derek saw the transfer contracts being handed to him, he was stunned, and it took him a while to react. It turned out that Eric had already planned to snatch away the Piers' businesses.
At any other time, Derek would have flown into a rage. But now, he had a strange feeling in his heart, and he was even overjoyed.
Derek knew that it was impossible for the Piers to survive under the attack of Lucas and his group. Just now, he, Rayson, and Greg had already determined that their only way out was to give up all their businesses in DC and quickly leave the city.
As long as Eric wasn't blind, he could see that the Piers were already in the pocket of Lucas's group.
But Eric appeared at this moment and even made such a request to him. It was clear that he wanted to snatch the spoils from Lucas!
With Derek's understanding of Eric, he definitely wouldn't dare to do such a dangerous thing.
He had known Eric for many years and knew Eric's character very well. Eric had always been a cautious person. To put it bluntly, he was a timid person. If he wasn't confident, he wouldn't dare to do anything.
Therefore, there had to be a big shot supporting the Bransons, which gave him the courage to come and snatch the spoils with Lucas.
From Derek's point of view, the Piers' businesses couldn't be preserved no matter what. But he was unwilling to hand them over to Lucas or Eric.
If this issue could cause them to fight, Derek would be very happy to see it!
It would be best if they fought until blood flowed and both sides suffered casualties!
This way, not only would he be able to find an opportunity to leave DC alive, but the difficulty of revenge in the future would also be lower.
At the thought of this, Derek's eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he said, "Alright, the Piers indeed did the Bransons a disservice before. It's only right for me to compensate the Bransons! I'll sign the transfer contracts. In the future, all of the Piers' businesses will belong to the Bransons!"
With that, Derek grabbed a pen and took the transfer contracts, intending to sign them.
"Go to hell!" Suddenly, a shout sounded, and right on the heels of it, a loud bang resounded.
It was a gunshot!
Someone just fired a gun!
Then everyone saw that Derek was still holding the contracts and the pen in his hands, but he couldn't sign his name. His entire body seemed to be frozen as he stood there motionlessly.
But in the center of Derek's forehead, there was a bloody hole, and blood was gurgling out.
Everyone was astonished!
Then everyone turned their gazes to Rayson, who was not far from Derek. In his hand was a smoking black pistol!
It was Rayson who had suddenly shot and killed Derek!
This scene shocked and puzzled everyone.
Weren't Rayson and Derek in the same group?
Why did he suddenly kill Derek?
Even Lucas looked at Rayson in surprise. But thinking about Rayson's past actions, he seemed to understand why Rayson did this.
Rayson wasn't calm at this moment. He was very agitated. Even his hand holding the pistol was still trembling slightly. It wasn't until Derek's body fell to the ground that he heaved a sigh of relief and slowly put away the pistol.
"Rayson Williams! Wh-what are you doing? You actually killed Derek!" Eric roared angrily, looking at Rayson in disbelief, his gaze full of killing intent
Rayson actually killed Derek at this moment!
He didn't care about Derek's life and death. He was furious because Derek hadn't signed the transfer contracts yet!
Greg also looked at Rayson in shock. He subconsciously took a few steps back, moving farther away from him.
He never thought that Rayson would suddenly attack Derek, their ally, without saying a word! Didn't they agree to form an alliance to leave DC together and then come back to fight together in the future?
Why?!
