The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 424
Advertisement
In fact, Lucas wasn't an arrogant and condescending person who liked trampling on others.
Strictly speaking, Nikki and Kenneth were the two most disgusting culprits for everything that happened tonight, while Tyron just happened to get involved later.
But under Kenneth and Nikki's incitement, Tyron began to harbor designs on Cheyenne and even said that he wanted to break Lucas's limbs. Since then, it was destined that Lucas wouldn't let him off easily.
As for Matthew, he didn't try to understand the situation or get the facts as soon as he arrived and instead instructed his bodyguards to grab Lucas to teach him a lesson. Now that his son's life was in Lucas's hands, he nevertheless continued to threaten Lucas with his power blindly. This alone made Lucas extremely displeased.
What Lucas hated the most was being threatened by others.
Suddenly, Cheyenne came up to Lucas and whispered into his ear, "Hubby, why don't we just forget it?"
The numerous people standing around them were the scions and helmsmen of various top families, including the bigwigs Matthew Benson and Damon Parker. If Lucas insisted on going toe-to-toe against them, he might end up offending all of the forces of LA.
Even if they were forced to give in to Lucas for the time being due to their fear of the brutal Stanley, they would probably try every possible way to take revenge on him in the future.
If Stanley wasn't around one day, wouldn't Lucas be in great danger?
In short, there was huge tension now, and it was the first time in Cheyenne's life that she was surrounded by these big shots. So she couldn't help being anxious and worried.
Looking at the nervous and worried Cheyenne, Lucas patted the back of her hand and said comfortingly, "Honey, don't worry. Didn't you say previously that you wanted to know what kind of person I really am? Now, just put your mind at ease and stay by my side. I promise nothing will happen to us. I will reveal my strength to you bit by bit. You just need to stay with me and have faith in me."

He completely understood Cheyenne's concerns. He knew it was because she was worried about him and had underestimated his true strength.
But a scene like today was just considered a minor squabble to Lucas, and Cheyenne should gradually adapt and get used to his enormous power, as well as his ability to cope with any situation.
Only then would she not have the slightest fear or panic when he dealt with behemoths like the Huttons in the future.
Cheyenne could sense that Lucas was reassuring her, and she was even more shocked by the meaning of his words.
Her husband would never fail to shock and amaze her, leaving her wondering just how terrifyingly strong he was.
Due to the silence in the room, everyone else also heard what he said very clearly.
They were all frightened.
Does this young man mean that he's been hiding his strength all this time?
How terrifying is his identity then?
Matthew stared at Lucas for a long time as his facial expression changed again and again. He suddenly said to Tyron in a deep voice, "Son, apologize to this gentleman immediately!"
The fact that Matthew could become the head of the powerful Benson family and come up with the idea of becoming a subordinate family of the Coles to further the development of the Bensons meant that he definitely wasn't just a headstrong and arrogant fool.
Being able to yield when necessary and act wisely according to the situation were some of his strengths.
He initially thought that Lucas was just an ordinary scion who popped out of nowhere. But after some judging, he changed his mind.
If Lucas was just an ordinary scion, he wouldn't be able to remain so composed in the face of so many big wigs and refuse to compromise regardless of how they lowered themselves or threatened him. Besides, Stanley, the expert whom even the Kingstons failed to recruit, was now following Lucas like an underling. This was clear proof that Lucas's identity definitely wasn't simple.

When the situation was unfavorable, people could choose to admit defeat temporarily and give in. This was something that he often preached to his son, Tyron, and also practiced himself.
He decided to make his son compromise for the time being and apologize to Lucas!
But Matthew would definitely get people to investigate Lucas's identity and background. If Lucas was indeed a member of a powerful family, Matthew would definitely bring Tyron to visit them in person and offer another apology. But if Lucas was just a liar taking them for a ride, he would definitely make him pay the price with his life!
Tyron's head was being crushed against the ground by the sole of Lucas's shoe, and he was already grimacing in pain. When he heard his father's command, he instantly felt disappointed and aggrieved. But he was completely helpless and could only obey and apologize.
"I'm… I'm sorry! Lucas, I… I was too audacious and disrespected you and your wife after being instigated by some people. I know I was wrong! Please be magnanimous and let me off this time. I promise there won't be a next time!" Tyron spluttered and begged for mercy while apologizing, his face as red as a tomato from trying to contain his anger, though the redness could also be due to Lucas stepping on his head.
The others looked at this scene with great astonishment, but they quickly lowered their heads, not daring to show the slightest expression on their faces, lest they offended Matthew and Tyron.
Lucas looked down at Tyron beneath his feet and said slowly, "Do you really know your mistake?"
Tyron hurriedly said with difficulty, "Yes! I really know my mistake, and I won't do it again in the future. I promise!"
Lucas raised his eyebrows without giving a response and suddenly said, "I suddenly remembered that you mentioned that you wanted to break my limbs and turn me into a cripple. Isn't that right?"
Then Lucas picked up the crowbar that Tyron had placed beside the chair and weighed it in his hands.
Tyron was on the verge of peeing his pants in trepidation. He frantically denied, "No, no, no! How could I possibly dare to do that? I… I was just making a casual remark. This crowbar was given to me by that bitch. I didn't intend to do anything to you… Ah!"
Before he could finish his speaking, Lucas suddenly swung the crowbar and smashed it onto Tyron's right arm.
In an instant, the crisp and clear sound of bones cracking filled the air again.
"Ah! My arm! My arm!" Tyron shrieked in misery and held onto his arm while howling in pain.
"Don't you like breaking the limbs of others? Guess you've got a taste of your own medicine! You wanted to break all four of my limbs, but I've only broken one of your arms. I'm being kind and merciful enough, aren't I?"
Lucas moved his foot away and snorted coldly at Tyron, who was rolling around on the ground in excruciating pain. Finally, he warned, "Remember, if you and your father try messing with us again in the future, the consequence won't be as simple as having your arm broken!"
With that, Lucas took Cheyenne's hand and walked out of the room as if there was no one else around.
Everyone standing in his path had their hearts palpitate uncontrollably and quickly made way for him!

Fateless: The Silver Lining
It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Why are they screaming? Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot-100547579135891/ I will publish 1 chapter per week (sometimes 2 if the chapters are too short for my liking).

Magikind [Original]
The third millennia, a time of change and evolution. An era, where people, through countless generations, have evolved strange powers and abilities. Through several centuries of selective breeding, these beings, known as mages, have become part of the very foundations of society. However, some refused to change or adapt. They believed in purity and refused to interbreed with magikind. Known as the manush, they were a rarity among society. Now, in the fifth millennia, the manush are thought extinct. With magikind ruling the world, a three-way war grips society. In these uncertain times, a manush called Gin, will herald a new era for all Magikind. A story of how man could realistically evolve while still pushing boundaries. Disclaimer: Chapters will be edited once the first volume is done. Bear the beginning for the time being, and hopefully you can see my writing improving over time (I've learnt a lot on how to write because of this (though I'm still not perfect :P)) Proud Member of Writers to the End, WriTE The link to the pledged fictions PS. If you find the 'notes' too boring or too info-dumpy, feel free to skip them and just read the main chapters. They're there for the reader to understand Gin's world (written in the perspective of Gin). But later on, we can see some interactions between the main characters and the occasional references to his past in the notes, so it has its purpose.
