MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND - Season 2 Episode 61

The burly soldier’s threat made many people break out into cold sweat.

In fact, all the things that happened in the Hale residence tonight made them feel as though they had been on a rollercoaster of emotions. Many of them had lived for decades, but they had never seen such a prestigious and wealthy family be completely ruined in a flash.

There were indeed many who were planning to share this bizarre event at the Hales tonight with their friends and relatives and gossip about it.

But they didn’t expect the military to issue a gag order, ordering them not to spread a single word about this matter. Otherwise, they would be arrested like the Hales had been, and it would be hard to say if they could come back or not.

They couldn’t afford to bear the consequences of disclosing confidential military information!

Finally, the burly soldier glanced at Lucas again and nodded in farewell before turning around to walk toward the armored vehicle in the middle of the hall.

Soon, one after another, the steel tyrants drove out of the Hales’ courtyard.

They came and went quickly. From the time they appeared to the time they left, less than ten minutes had passed.

However, the Hales were worlds apart from what they used to be ten minutes ago.

After the last armored vehicle left the front yard of the Hale residence, the guests in the hall felt a great sense of relief. They subconsciously broke out into cold sweat. And as a cold breeze blew past, they immediately shivered, though it was unclear if it was because of the chilliness or their fear.

If it were usual, they would have broken into a heated and enthusiastic discussion after witnessing such an incredible thing.

But the military had just issued a gag order, and they definitely didn’t have the courage to voice their questions and doubts. They had no choice but to curb their burgeoning desire to complain and gossip with others and grit their teeth. No one dared to discuss it at all.

However, everyone’s heart was brimming with countless doubts as they wondered who the person who planned the event tonight was.

Many people spontaneously looked at Lucas.

Thinking about what happened tonight from the start of the banquet, they had a hunch that Lucas was most likely to be the mastermind.

But they wondered if this young man really had such terrifying influence and power.

The surrounding guests seemed rather wary. And Seth and Daniel Miller, who had previously offended Lucas, were so terrified that their faces paled and they started shivering.

Previously, Seth had been kicked by Lucas and slammed heavily against the wall, causing him to pass out on the spot. But halfway through, he slowly woke up and happened to see the scene of Lucas and the black-clothed elite guards fighting.

Afterward, Lucas faced the pistol squad of the Hales, and the military soldiers soon appeared. Seth saw everything.

Only now did Seth feel a great sense of fear from the bottom of his heart and realized how terrifying his enemy was.

With a thud, Seth and Daniel fell to their knees in front of Lucas.

“Mr. Gray, I was arrogant and conceited. I was blind to have offended you. Please be merciful and forgive me!” Seth exclaimed in a shaky voice as he slapped himself hard a few times. This time, they were much harder than when Jordan forced him to slap himself outside the Hales’ doorstep.

“Mr. Gray, I’m really sorry. My son is unruly and has offended you. It’s because I failed to discipline him. I promise I will take him in hand in the future and never let him offend you again!” Daniel went all out and swallowed his pride to apologize to Lucas.

Although the Millers were a second-tier family in Orange County, they were nothing compared to the Hales.

The fact that Lucas could easily destroy the Hales meant that he could do the same to the Millers effortlessly!

So even though it was embarrassing, Seth and Daniel had to build good relations with Lucas. Regardless of the price they had to pay, they had to obtain his forgiveness!

Looking indifferently at the two people kneeling in front of him from above, Lucas maintained a calm expression and said, “I hope you guys really know your mistakes. Remember, it’s alright to offend me. But if you dare to offend my wife and daughter, I will never forgive you!”

Everyone in the hall could hear Lucas’s words clearly. And they could tell that he was not only warning Seth and his father but also everyone present.

Thinking about the destruction of the Hales just now, they realized that the initial cause was because Logan Hale had kidnapped Lucas’s daughter.

Everyone understood that offending Lucas’s wife and daughter was even more terrifying than offending him personally!

Seth’s heart skipped a beat, and he felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Recalling that he had repeatedly courted Cheyenne and tried to make Lucas a cuckold, Seth was so terrified that he almost passed out. “Mr. Gray, I promise! I promise that I will never harbor any other thoughts that I shouldn’t have again!”

Lucas looked at him coldly. “Get lost.”

“Yes! Yes! We’ll get lost right away!” Seth and Daniel hurriedly got up like they had been spared and then scrambled out of Hales’ banquet hall.

The other guests hesitantly looked at Lucas, wanting to leave but not daring to do so. Only after Jordan gave them the green light did the guests hurriedly flock to the hall’s entrance and scramble away like birds.

Soon, the lively hall became empty, leaving only Lucas, Jordan, and Aston, who was covered in cold sweat.

After Aston heard Lucas’s warning just now, his heart also thumped violently. At the thought of how he had once tried to hit on Cheyenne and Charlotte, followed by Lucas’s means today, he felt that it was a miracle that he was still alive now.

Of course, it was mainly because Lucas deliberately spared him.

Aston dried the cold sweat on his forehead, walked up to Lucas, and said respectfully, “Mr. Gray, shall I send you back?”

Lucas raised his brow. Knowing that Aston wanted to talk with him, he nodded and said to Jordan, “Go.”

“Yes, Lucas!” Jordan glanced at Aston and then turned around to leave without another word.

“Mr. Gray, please.” Aston respectfully ushered Lucas to the luxurious Maybach he had recently purchased and drove him back to the Carter residence.

On the way, Aston looked at Lucas, who was sitting in the backseat with his eyes closed, through the rearview mirror. He wanted to speak but hesitated.

Lucas suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly, “If you have anything to say, just cut straight to the point.”
