MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 5 - Season 8 Episode 28

The gaze in Lucas’s eyes was extremely calm, but Frederick felt an invisible pressure coming straight down from above his head.

Bang!

Frederick could no longer endure the pressure and immediately got on one knee on the floor.

He said in a hoarse voice, “From today onward, the Parkers will also acknowledge Mr. Gray as our master.”

By now, apart from the Kingstons and Walkers, who had been kicked out of California, the rest of the sixty-odd top families of California had pledged allegiance to Lucas.

It was an unprecedented event!

Lucas had achieved the goal that Axel Fox and Vince of the Smiths, one of the eight most powerful families in DC, had failed to achieve with all their efforts!

Lucas felt extremely emotional.

When he came to the Elite Business Exchange, he had to worry about facing the malice and retaliation from the Kingstons and the Smiths. But to his surprise, the situation changed drastically in just two hours.

Even Lucas hadn’t expected these changes.

…

It was already past 10 p.m., and the lights outside were shining brilliantly in the darkness.

A silvery-gray Ferrari was speeding on the highway leading to the San Francisco International Airport.

Vince, who had just left the Walton Hotel, was sitting in the backseat.

But he looked extremely ill-tempered, and he was clenching his jaws.

The middle-aged expert in the front passenger seat asked cautiously, “Mr. Smith, should we ask the family for help and get the family to send more experts?”

The incident that just took place at the Elite Business Exchange was still vivid in the middle-aged man’s mind.

He had followed Vince for many years, so he naturally knew how frustrated and furious he must be after suffering so much humiliation.

At the same time, he was also very frightened and nervous.

Reason being, he had been frightened into retreating six steps under Lucas’s shout and had failed to protect Vince, causing him to suffer extreme humiliation by being forced to kneel and apologize.

If Vince wanted to take his anger out on him and blame him for it, he wouldn’t be able to defend himself.

Vince raised his head in annoyance and said coldly, “Shut up! If you dare to breathe a word about what happened today to the family, I won’t spare you!”

What had happened today at the exchange was the biggest shame of his life. The thought of it made Vince boil with fury and the strong urge to people him immediately!

The middle-aged man’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly kept quiet, not daring to utter a word.

After a long while, Vince finally raised his hand to touch the wound on his shoulder and said resentfully, “One day, I’ll make sure to pay back double the humiliation and pain I suffered today! But for now, I can only forcibly endure it and wait for the right moment!

“If the Smiths hear about what happened today, not only will the reputation of the Smiths be tarnished, but even the others in the family will use this opportunity to attack me. When the time comes, my position as the next helmsman won’t be guaranteed!

“Also, since the Peerless Martial Associated intervened in the situation in California, even if I seek help from the family, it’s impossible to regain California. Instead of seeking revenge on that punk, what I should do now is to find another place as soon as possible and strive to make achievements to secure my position in the family! Do you understand?”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man understood his considerations.

Vince had just suffered humiliation in a way he had never experienced before. But he actually managed to weigh the pros and cons in such a short time and suppress his desire for revenge while thinking about the most important thing he should do to turn the situation around.

Vince was indeed worthy of being the most valued helmsman candidate of the Smiths and the one with the greatest chance of becoming the helmsman.

“Okay, Mr. Smith, I understand. But what if those families in California expose what happened today?” the middle-aged man asked worriedly.

He was a little worried that Vince might think that he was the one who spread the news in case this matter was really revealed.

Vince snorted coldly in disdain. “Unless those families really dare to become an enemy of the Smiths, they won’t dare to breathe a word about what happened today!

“As for the people from the Peerless Martial Association, Axel will likely order them to keep their lips sealed about today’s matter. After all, I’m an heir of the Smiths, yet they watched me get humiliated. If word about this spreads, it won’t do them any good, and it will instead make the Smiths hate them. I believe he won’t do such a stupid thing.”

Vince trusted the middle-aged man beside him, who had protected him for many years, so he explained the matter to him patiently, which was rare for him.

After hearing Vince’s explanation, the middle-aged man suddenly felt relieved.

This trip to California was a complete failure, but Vince had already designated a new goal and plan. As for taking revenge on Lucas, there was a lot of time for this!

The silvery-gray Ferrari sped through the night and headed straight to the airport.

…

Meanwhile, Axel was also furious after leaving the Walton Hotel.

Just now, he had basically been kicked out. It had been more than ten years since he experienced such humiliation!

“Damn Lucas Gray! You’re just a greenhorn. Do you really think you’re some big shot?

“How dare you talk to me like that? How dare you treat me that way? I won’t let you off!

“I’ll pay you back for all this today. Just you wait!”

Sitting in the backseat of a car, Axel had a murderous look on his face, wishing he could kill Lucas immediately!

But he knew that while Lucas was arrogant, he had the capital to be.

Given the power Lucas showed tonight, Axel was shocked to find that Lucas’s strength was definitely above his!

The even more frightening thing was that Lucas was less than thirty years old, and he still had a lot of room for improvement. He had countless possibilities in the future.

Even he was not Lucas’s opponent, so no one in the Californian branch could deal with him.

Unless he asked for help from the headquarters and asked them to send a stronger expert, he wouldn’t be able to deal with Lucas.

But the Peerless Martial Association also had its own rules. If there was no valid reason, people couldn’t easily ask for help from the headquarters.

While Axel was vexed, one of his subordinates suddenly said, “I have a good solution.. Maybe I can help you kill that scoundrel Lucas Gray!”
