THE FORMIDABLE SON-IN-LAW: THE CHARISMATIC LUCAS GRAY - Season 3 Episode 79

Hearing that Lucas wanted to go to the Douglases’ villa, the man with the ear studs’ heart skipped a beat. Because unlike Joe, he didn’t know how powerful and domineering Lucas was.

In his opinion, the Douglases were a top family in Orange County, second only to the four top families. If Lucas demanded an explanation from them, he would be inviting trouble.

Suddenly, Joe said, “Zach, you will be responsible for taking Mr. Gray to the Douglases’ villa!”

Zach, the man with the ear studs, widened his mouth in shock and pointed at himself before exclaiming in disbelief, “Me?!” Immediately afterward, he grimaced and stared at Joe in hopes that Joe would change his mind.

Joe turned gloomy and hollered furiously, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and show Mr. Gray the way.”

Joe glared at Zach, as if he had expected better from him.

Of course, he knew what Zach was worried about. But after witnessing with his own eyes what Lucas had done to Preston, the future helmsman of the Taylors, one of the four great families in Orange County, Joe admired Lucas greatly. And he was even confident that Lucas wouldn’t be on the losing end if he confronted the four top families, let alone the Douglases.

If Lucas hadn’t ordered Joe to escort Cheyenne to the hospital, he would have followed Lucas to the Douglases’ villa.

It was a rare opportunity that not everyone could have. Yet Zach still hadn’t realized how lucky he was and was even acting as if he had to go to face a terrible situation.

The infuriated Joe smacked Zach on the head and warned, “Remember not to be disrespectful to Mr. Gray in any way. His orders are more important than mine. Do whatever you are told to do, do you understand?”

Seeing the warning gaze in Joe’s eyes and realizing what he meant, Zach then understood how powerful the young man in front of him was. He thought that Lucas had to be at least a big shot even more powerful than Joe, whom Joe dared not disobey since Joe said that his orders were secondary to Lucas’s.

In that case, following such a powerful figure to the Douglases’ villa wouldn’t be an attempt to court death but an excellent opportunity!

When Zach figured this out, his conflicted expression and look of dismay immediately turned into excitement written all over his face. He guaranteed, “Yes! I will definitely follow Mr. Gray and obey all his orders!”

At this point, Lucas had long lost his patience and headed downstairs with Cheyenne while Joe and Zach hurried to catch up.

Soon, they moved quickly. Joe drove Cheyenne to the hospital where William was, while Lucas, led by Zach and several of his subordinates, headed to the Golden Palm Villa cluster where the Douglases’ villa was.

The Golden Palm Villa cluster was just a stone’s throw away from the Golden Garden Estate, so it only took them a few minutes to drive to the Douglases’ villa.

As soon as they alighted, a young redhead jumped out from behind a rose bush near the villa and hurried to Zach. He reported softly, “Zach, that woman brought her four bodyguards with her to this villa. I’ve been watching outside, so they shouldn’t have come out yet.”

Zach nodded and waved his hand to get his man to stand down. He bowed to Lucas and asked, “Mr. Gray, should I… send a few of my subordinates to sneak in and see what’s going on?”

Although the Douglases’ villa was in front of him and letting his subordinates sneak in would be dangerous, Zach thought of what Joe had said to him just now and felt that even the Douglas family might be inferior to the mysterious and unpredictable Mr. Gray right in front of him.

Lucas narrowed his eyes and observed the luxurious and majestic villa in front of him.

Although it was a property owned by the Douglases, it was not part of their main residence, though it was just as opulent. It was also equipped with amenities like a garden, a fountain, a swimming pool, several expensive cars, and a large stone monument with the Douglas family name engraved on it.

There were two tall bodyguards standing at the entrance of the villa and staring at the group of uninvited guests outside the villa with hostile expressions.

Although Lucas and company had yet to step within the boundaries of the Douglases’ villa, one of the bodyguards took two steps forward and said scornfully in a deep voice, “This villa belongs to the Douglases. Get lost. Don’t loiter at the door!”

“The Douglases are really arrogant, huh?”

Lucas sighed calmly. Then with a sudden snap of his fingers, a black afterimage immediately darted toward the stone monument.

Bang!

The nearly two-meter-tall stone monument with the Douglas family name carved on it shattered into pieces, and countless stone debris shot in all directions. In the blink of an eye, it completely collapsed.

The few young men beside Zach widened their eyes in disbelief as they looked at the scene in front of them!

Lucas was obviously still several meters away from the stone monument a moment ago, so how on earth did it shatter into pieces?!

Even the bullet shot from a gun might not be able to achieve this outcome. It was as if the stone monument had been bombed!

Of course, how Lucas managed to do it wasn’t the point. The point was that Lucas had shattered the Douglases’ stone monument right in front of them. It was plain and blatant provocation!

Most of the subordinates were unclear of Lucas’s identity and merely knew that Zach was accompanying him to the Douglases’ villa. Seeing this, they were all visibly horrified.

“Holy shit! He smashed the stone monument of the Douglases as soon as he arrived. Isn’t he inviting trouble?”

“Zach, who the hell is this punk? He’d better not get us all killed!”

“Yeah! The Douglases are one of the top families in Orange County, and they own lots of properties and have a lot of manpower. We only run a small cyber cafe. We’ll definitely die!”

“Zach, I still have some things to handle at home. I’ll get going now!”

“I… I suddenly remembered that my wife is ill today, so I have to send her to the hospital. I’m leaving now, Zach!”

…

After seeing Lucas destroy the stone monument at the entrance of the Douglases’ villa, Zach’s subordinates panicked and wished they could curse at Lucas out loud. Of course, those who thought they were smart fled right away.

Compared to offending the prestigious Douglas family, they would rather offend Zach and Joe!

“Damn it! All of you are just a bunch of fools!”

Seeing his subordinates fleeing like cowards, Zach was infuriated and embarrassed, and he couldn’t help cursing.

They might not have seen it, but Zach had seen clearly how Lucas shattered the massive stone monument using just a small pebble that he had casually picked up the ground when he got out of the car.

With a tiny pebble, he managed to achieve the effect of an explosive, despite launching it from a few meters away. He reckoned that Lucas’s strength had to be far beyond the imagination of ordinary people like them!

The two bodyguards at the entrance of the Douglases’ villa were also stunned by Lucas’s strike. No one had ever dared to make trouble at the Douglases’ doorstep before. They finally realized what was going on.

But from their perspective, they didn’t see exactly how Lucas had broken the stone monument. All they knew was that Lucas was here to cause trouble!

“Punk, you’re here to cause trouble on purpose, aren’t you? Look where you are!” the bodyguards hollered and then picked up a rod each before charging toward Lucas.
