The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 374
Advertisement
Although these killers were engaged in the bloody business of assassinations, with Lucas coldly looking down at them, they immediately felt an intense chill surging from their heads to their toes.
But they wouldn't let Lucas threaten them, so they gritted their teeth and said, "We won't tell you. Even if we tell you, we'll die! So if you have the guts to, just kill us now!"
Lucas narrowed his eyes.
In fact, he knew of more than a hundred ways to torture them and make them feel worse than death. But this matter concerned the Sawyers after all, so he couldn't overstep his bounds and intervene.
"Miss Sawyer, are you alright?"
"It's all our fault for coming too late!"
At this moment, two bodyguards hurried over with panicked looks on their faces.
Lena immediately rolled her eyes and shouted angrily, "Hmph, by the time you had the guts to come, I would have died long ago!"
Drenched in sweat, the two bodyguards immediately apologized profusely.
Lucas said, "Since your bodyguards are here, I'll leave them to you."
Lena nodded and instructed her bodyguards, "Did you hear? Tie up these two people on the ground immediately and take them back to the Sawyers for a proper interrogation! Remember, don't let them die easily!"
The bodyguards looked at each other and said hesitantly, "But… our duty is to protect you, Miss Sawyer…"
"Protect my foot!" Lena flew into a rage and cursed at them. She said with annoyance, "Okay, you guys just hurry up and take those two people back with you. The most important thing to do now is to find out who the mastermind is! With Mr. Gray here, I will be fine. You two hurry up and go!"
"Yes, Miss Sawyer!" The bodyguards acknowledged her order and immediately kicked the two assassins on the ground before tying them up tightly and taking them away.

After the matter was resolved, Lena finally had time to ask Lucas why he was in LA too.
"We're here to attend Cheyenne's cousin's wedding tomorrow," Lucas explained briefly.
"Oh!" Lena looked at Lucas's car. There was a large dent in the front end of the black Jaguar, and the headlights, hood, and bumper were all severely damaged. It looked like he wouldn't be able to drive it anymore.
She said apologetically, "Sorry, your car got ruined because of me. I'll go with you to get a new one. What kind of car do you like?"
Lucas shook his head. "No need for that. The engine is still intact. It just needs a little repair to be drivable again."
His specially modified Jaguar was several times stronger in all aspects than ordinary unmodified cars of the same model. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to crash it into the large and sturdy Hummer just now.
Sitting in the car, William saw that Lucas had finished settling the matter and was chatting with Lena, so he rolled down the window and greeted her.
Lena was Cheyenne's best friend, so William naturally knew her.
"Uncle William, you're here too!"
After the two greeted each other briefly and exchanged pleasantries for a while, Lucas said to Lena, "Where are you going? Let me take you there."
Lena asked in surprise, "Are you sure your car is still drivable so badly damaged?"
"Just hop in, and you'll know." Lucas smiled and got back into the driver's seat while Lena hurriedly got into the backseat.
The car soon started again. In the wee hours of the night, they traveled in the black Jaguar, which was now extremely eye-catching. Lucas first dropped William off at one of LA's best five-star hotels before driving Lena to her destination.
But when Lucas arrived at Urban Culture Co., Lena's destination, he found that it sounded very familiar.

Urban Culture was the enterprise founded by Kenneth Parker, whom Lucas had met at the Turners' place earlier.
Since Kenneth was a Parker, Lucas reckoned that he was probably the brother of Tristan, who had always claimed to be Lena's fiancé.
"Lena, you're finally here!"
Speak of the devil. As soon as Lucas thought that Tristan might be Kenneth's brother, Tristan appeared right in front of him.
Tristan was smiling brightly at Lena, but his face turned sullen the next second when he saw Lucas sitting in the driver's seat.
"Lena, what are you doing with this punk?" Tristan questioned in displeasure.
Lena hated Tristan's possessiveness and how he treated her like his property. She raised her head and snapped coldly, "It has nothing to do with you who I'm with!"
Tristan glared at Lucas in rage and resentment.
He had only met Lucas twice. But both times, he had suffered great losses because of him.
The first time was at The Loft restaurant, where Tristan had run into Lucas and Lena having a meal together. He initially planned to get his bodyguards to teach Lucas a lesson. But to his surprise, he was taught a hard lesson by Lucas instead. Not only did Lucas humiliate him by pinning him down against the ground, but he also caused his knees to hurt for a long time.
The second time was at the auction in Club Splendor, where Tristan colluded with the Owen brothers, Callum and Elijah, in a bid to chase Lucas out of the club. But afterward, Lucas took out a Black Diamond Card, which trumped them. Not only did he make Russell Duncan, who worked for the Kingstons, drive the three of them out of the auction venue, but he even caused them to be barred from all auctions hosted by Russell in the future.
After Tristan returned, his legs were almost broken by his father!
Enemies would be full of resentment toward each other when they met. What angered him further was the sight of his fiancée, Lena, in Lucas's car!
"Punk, LA is the Parkers' turf. Do you have a death wish by coming here?" Tristan roared furiously.
Lucas glanced at him indifferently and ignored him. He then said to Lena, "Go ahead and do your business. I'll get going now. Call me if there's anything."
Lena nodded and then suddenly asked, "Do you… have time tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner to thank you!"
Lucas thought about it and found that he really had nothing scheduled for the evening. So he nodded and agreed. "Okay, we'll contact each other later."
The two of them were talking like no one was watching, and neither of them was paying attention to Tristan.
Tristan was infuriated and kicked the front of Lucas's Jaguar. "Lucas Gray, get out of your lousy car! How could you have the cheek to drive such a shabby and tattered car out!!! You even asked my fiancée out for dinner right in front of me! How brazen of you! If you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish!"
Lucas glanced at Tristan coldly and barked coldly, "Get lost!"
No one had ever yelled at Tristan like this before, making him feel extremely humiliated. He lay down in front of the car and said, "If you have the guts, try driving over me!"
Boom! Boom!
The sound of the engine suddenly roared loud. Lucas started the engine with an indifferent expression and even floored the accelerator!

Armored
600 years have passed since the fall of civilization. The earth went through massive changes and core beasts now reign supreme. All that still exists of mankind are ruins and a scattering of walled cities. Festering pits of the worst humanity has to offer, protected by "knights" clad in a mech-like technology called armor. Nobles rule over everyone, little more than warlords. The middle class wants to make a buck and become nobles. And the rats want to survive. But everyone wants a piece of the ancient technology lost to mankind hundreds of years ago. Find one piece and it could change your life forever. For better or worse. This is my second attempt at a story. I haven't been writing for more than 3 or 4 months all combined. I hope to improve as I go. This is first and foremost a learning experience for me.

8 172I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room
The universe is a very strange place. It will take even stranger heroes to save it."Absurd. Existential. Ridiculous. Tragic. Comic. The antiheroes of "I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room" are a kind of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with space packs, inadvertently colliding with their destinies against a starry background of witty wordplay. With a vision as sprawling and limitless as the loveably goofy universe in which it's set, Browning's wit, wisdom and heart are always at play, combining to form a wonderfully panoramic and very silly heroes' journey that visits every trope of its overlapping genres and draws moustaches on all of them."- Marcel St. Pierre, author of "Vengeful Hank" and "Cliché and Wind Go Hitchhiking".(Sci-fi /Dark Humour/Absurd) *Completed!
