MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 4 - Season 6 Episode 40

Connor was a smart man, so he immediately understood his grandfather’s troubles. He reckoned that it must have been a message from the Huttons.

In fact, Connor had absolutely hated Lucas at the beginning.

During the birthday banquet of Connor’s son, Lucas had kicked up a ruckus at the venue because Logan had kidnapped Amelia, and Lucas had even shoved his head into a bowl of soup despite him being the most promising scion of the Hale family. He had been utterly embarrassed.

Afterward, Lucas used his own strength to take out the experts and gunmen that the Hale family had hidden for a long time. He even found close to two hundred armed soldiers and armored vehicles and sent them to surround the Hale residence before throwing all of them into that terrifying prison.

If Lucas hadn’t spared their family out of consideration for Bruce Hale’s sincerity later, the Hale family wouldn’t exist in Orange County now.

Thus, from a certain point of view, Lucas was once the enemy of the Hale family, who had personally banished them to a living hell. But at the same time, Lucas was also their benefactor. Without him, only his three-month-old son would be the sole survivor of the Hale family now.

After this incident, the Hale family completely surrendered to Lucas, and they even transferred their businesses to him, though he appointed them to be in charge of managing them on his behalf.

But in terms of legal ownership, all these businesses actually belonged to Lucas.

Now, if the Hale family had to pick between Lucas and the Huttons…

“I choose Mr. Gray!” Connor said with unusual determination.

“Why?” Bruce looked straight into his grandson’s eyes, paying attention to every single microexpression of his.

Connor said firmly, “Because if it wasn’t for Mr. Gray, the Hale family wouldn’t exist in Orange County now. We’re following Mr. Gray now, and even if we lose the bet, the result won’t be any worse than our current situation. But after what happened last time, I believe that Mr. Gray isn’t a simple man. Even if he’s facing the Huttons, he might not necessarily lose! Hence, I choose him!”

Bruce stared silently at Connor with a straight face.

Connor stood still in place with his back straight, allowing his grandfather to stare at him without any changes in the determination in his eyes.

“Haha, good!” A few seconds later, Bruce suddenly laughed, raised his hand, and patted Connor on his shoulder. “You’re really worthy of being my grandson. You’re brave and intelligent! It seems that the Hale family does have a successor!”

He said with a grateful smile, “Since Lucas is in trouble now, the Hale family is obliged to help him! Bring our top experts to the Kingston manor in San Francisco to help Lucas!

“When you return from San Francisco, I will let you succeed me as helmsman of the family!”

Connor was surprised for a moment, but he was soon agitated and excited.

Although he had long known he would take over the family one day, he didn’t expect it to come so soon.

“Yes, Grandpa! I won’t let you down!” Connor’s body was brimming with energy as he strode outside.

Bruce Hale looked at the back of his grandson, who was full of ardor, and felt rather emotional.

Although he had long decided to make Connor the next helmsman, the various events that had happened previously made him too scared to leave the Hale family in his hands.

However, Connor’s growth was extremely obvious, as he had clearly become more intelligent and more responsible.

Now, he could finally hand over the position of helmsman to his grandson with peace of mind.

Apart from the Hale family, Joe, the manager of Little Atlantis City in Orange County, and Damon Parker from LA had also received warnings from the Huttons, who called to tell them to keep their distance from Lucas and not to meddle in his affairs or offer him any help.

However, Joe, Damon, and the others coincidentally chose to continue to stand on Lucas’s side after some deliberation.

Joe himself was well aware that if not for Lucas’s help, he would still be nothing more than a manager of a small clubhouse like the Opulence. He would have never had the opportunity to take revenge on Tony Zander either, much less take control over Little Atlantis City, a top entertainment joint in Orange County.

Lucas was the one who had given him all of this, so he had to stand on Lucas’s side out of loyalty no matter what.

Damon’s reasons were similar too.

If Lucas hadn’t put aside their differences and unraveled the Owen brothers’ conspiracy, the Parkers might have fallen apart long ago, let alone get ahold of many of the Owens’ businesses and rise to become the top family in LA. They wouldn’t have gotten the chance to help Lucas manage the Solar Corporation either.

Damon had made up his mind early on that he had to stand by Lucas’s side. Moreover, he was extremely confident in Lucas!

After making up their minds, Joe, Damon, Connor, and the others all gathered their most competent subordinates and then drove to the Kingston manor in San Francisco in a long, snakelike convoy.

Even if they couldn’t give Lucas much help, they should at least make their attitudes clear so that the Kingstons would be wary of Lucas and not dare to harm him easily!

——

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Kingston manor in San Francisco…

After Lucas kicked the stone statue at the entrance of the Kingston manor, numerous bodyguards swarmed out to surround him.

In particular, the Kingstons were further enraged when they heard Lucas tell Marc to wash his neck and get ready.

“Where did that punk come from? How dare he speak to Mr. Marc in such a manner?!”

“You’ve destroyed the Kingstons’ symbolic statue and spoke to Mr. Marc so rudely. You will die here today!”

“Don’t waste your breath on speaking nonsense with him. Capture him and bring him to Mr. Marc!”

The ten or so bodyguard guards charged at Lucas.

But what they thought was an act of bravado was actually extremely poorly executed and unbearable in Lucas’s eyes.

Lucas didn’t even look at them. Each time he waved his hand and foot, one person would be flung away forcefully and rendered immobile on the ground.

“Argh!”

“Ahhh!”

Bang!

…

Soon, there were miserable screams from time to time. The bodyguards were all knocked down without even touching the corner of Lucas’s clothes, no longer able to get up on their feet.

At this moment, the arrogance and certainty in their eyes had long since vanished and was replaced with horror and disbelief.

The young man in front of him seemed to be only around 25 years old, and he didn’t have any terrifyingly bulging muscles either. But he managed to effortlessly send these professional bodyguards flying, which meant that his strength was far beyond theirs!

After knocking down these small fries, Lucas stood in the yard of the manor and yelled, “Marc Kingston, I’m already here. Are you going to act like a coward and hide inside without daring to show yourself?”

His voice was like a bell containing a certain rhythm, and it surprisingly reached all corners of the massive Kingston manor clearly!
