The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 360
Advertisement
Henry shouted in horror with shock written all over his face.
Stanley was a top expert who used to work for the Brookes in LA, making him among the most elite experts in LA.
With his protection, the Brookes had managed to defeat numerous enemies within just a few short years and became a top family in LA that no one dared to belittle.
Stanley could be considered an important figure who played the most critical role and deserved the greatest credit.
The senior members of the Kingstons once thought of poaching the top expert Stanley to work for them. But regardless of the generous conditions they offered, Stanley never agreed.
This was also how Henry had learned of Stanley's existence.
But the two of them shouldn't have crossed paths before.
"Stanley Ray, I don't seem to have offended you. Why did you suddenly show up here?" Henry asked in displeasure with a frown.
He really couldn't figure out why Stanley suddenly came for him with a dagger.
Although Henry had not personally experienced Stanley's terrifying strength, he had often heard about it and naturally didn't want to go toe-to-toe against him, lest the altercation went beyond redemption.
Stanley sneered. "You haven't offended me prior to tonight, but you should remember that you sent more than ten underlings out to carry out a task tonight, right?"
"The subordinates I sent?" Henry was stunned for a moment before continuing with a look of bewilderment, "I didn't send them to attack you but…"
But halfway through his sentence, he immediately realized what was going on. "It turns out you were sent by Lucas Gray!"
Henry's eyes were soon full of anger. "How are my subordinates now?!"
Stanley sneered. "What do you think could have happened? Naturally, I killed all of them."

He said this so casually that even his expression didn't change.
But Henry was about to lose his temper!
Although not all the experts under him were his apprentices, he had put in a lot of effort to train them. Just now, he was still waiting for good news from them because he thought that they would bring Lucas back. But they had all been killed by Stanley!
"Bastard, how dare you kill my subordinates?!" Henry hollered furiously with bloodshot eyes, seemingly wanting to devour Stanley.
But Stanley stood still and said indifferently, "Anyone who dares to attack Mr. Gray is my enemy and naturally has to die!"
He looked up and glared at Henry with a sharp gaze. "The same goes for you!"
"You're just boasting!"
Stanley's nonchalant attitude and lack of fear toward Henry had completely provoked him.
Henry roared furiously and charged at Stanley.
Although Stanley was an esteemed top expert, Henry wasn't much inferior to him. In fact, Henry was confident that he might not necessarily be weaker than Stanley! What right does Stanley Ray have to belittle me?!
With a bloodthirsty and hostile gaze in his eyes, Stanley snorted coldly.
As the once most menacing killer of the Brookes, Stanley had killed countless experts over the years. And until he met Jordan, he had never lost before!
Even though Henry was an expert working for the Kingstons, he was still worlds apart from the elites of the Falcon Regiment such as Stanley!
The sharp dagger in Stanley's hand glistened as he swung in an arc and charged forward to attack Henry!
The distance between them was three meters apart, but they collided almost instantly before crossing each other again!
The instant their figures met, an extremely subtle sound filled the air.
It seemed to be the sound of flesh being cut open or like the sound of air passing through the opening of a punctured balloon.

After passing each other, Stanley soon came to a halt and stood still on the spot like a sharp sword, just like before.
On the other hand, Henry failed to regain his balance and stumbled forward several meters due to the strong inertia. He then staggered and fell to the ground as if he was in a drunken stupor.
And after collapsing, he never got up again.
His eyes were still wide open, but they soon lost their glow as bright red blood quickly flowed out, forming a large pool of blood under his neck, seeping into the carpet. His entire body was now soaked in the blood that was gradually cooling down.
The last droplet of blood slowly trickled down the dagger in Stanley's hand.
It was dead silent.
There was nothing but silence!
The Wallaces were all standing dumbfounded outside the villa, looking at the jaw-dropping scene in front of them in disbelief.
Henry Salve, the powerful expert who worked for the Kingstons, died just like that!
What killed him was a fatal dagger slash by the lanky middle-aged man in front of them!
Moreover, all it took was a single move to kill Henry as soon as their bodies touched!
How was this possible?!
No one could believe it!
If he could kill Henry with a single move, how powerful and terrifying must his abilities be?
No one dared to imagine it because the mere thought of it was so frightening that it made them feel as though their hearts were about to fall out of their chests.
Stanley turned the dagger in his hand and shook off the last bit of blood remaining on it. Then he turned around to look at the Wallaces, who were dumbstruck and rooted to the ground at the entrance of the villa.
"Those who dare to provoke him will suffer a miserable fate!" After saying this coldly, he walked toward the entrance.
But when he was a few meters away from the entrance, Pierre snapped back to his senses as though he had just woken up from a dream and yelled, "Gunmen, get ready!"
With his order, the dozen or so gunmen who had just hurriedly assembled immediately raised their pistols and aimed them at Stanley's head.
Stanley stopped in his tracks and turned around to glare at Pierre hostilely. "This isn't the first time in my life that I've been held at gunpoint by so many gunmen, yet I'm still alive and kicking today. Do you have any idea why?"
Pierre's face twitched violently.
Stanley said, "Because those who've had the guts to threaten me with a gun were all killed by me!"
As Stanley said this, Pierre instantly felt engulfed by an incredibly terrifying aura. It was as if there was a sharp dagger being pointed right at him. His pores tightened, and his hair stood on end! This man is horrifying!
Although Stanley was standing several meters away from Pierre, the murderous aura he was exuding seemed to be right in front of Pierre, instantly making him find it almost impossible to breathe!

Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
