The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 345 – Gooseberry

Chapter 345: Gooseberry

“What did you say?!” Henry’s expression changed drastically, and he suddenly stood up, staring at Bryant in disbelief.

Although Henry had taken many apprentices under his tutelage in his life, most of them hadn’t learned much of his skills, except Nolan, who was his favorite disciple and whom he was most proud of too. Not only had Nolan learned almost 90% of his skills, but he was also set to be Henry’s successor.

Henry originally thought that apart from himself, there would probably be no one in the field of combat who could rival Nolan. He didn’t expect to hear from Bryant that Nolan, his favorite disciple, had died!

“Nonsense! Who died?! Repeat yourself! Who died?!” Henry hollered. He was glowering at Bryant furiously as he strode toward him and grabbed him by the collar.

Bryant was so frightened that his teeth began to chatter, and he could barely speak. “He… he’s outside!”

“Punk, you’d better bear this in mind. If you dare to lie to me, I have plenty of ways to kill you!” With that, Henry left Bryant behind and dashed toward the door of the villa.

Soon, he saw a corpse at the entrance of the villa. The corpse had a familiar face and figure, but there were no longer any signs of life on his face, and his eyes were still wide open and full of confusion, mixed with a tinge of agony and shock. It was as if he had seen a horrifying scene moments before his death.

It was Nolan’s corpse!

Because his body was lying flat on the ground, the five greenish-purple marks were clearly visible on his neck, which was now soft and limp. Clearly, his hyoid bone had been crushed!

“Nolan! My good apprentice!” Henry suddenly let out a deafening roar as a murderous intent instantly surged from his body.

There were two security guards standing beside Nolan. They were the ones who had carried Nolan’s corpse from the entrance of the Wallaces’ manor to the villa.

“Get lost!” Henry roared. Then he extended his hands, which were as hard as steel, and leaped forward to grab each of them by the collar before flinging them to the sides forcefully as though they were pieces of garbage.

Bang!

Bang!

The two security guards slammed against the two tall and large marble statues more than twenty meters away with two loud thuds. In an instant, their skulls shattered, and all their bones broke, resulting in instant death!

The violent and brutal scene immediately made everyone frightened, and they started shivering continuously.

Throwing two grown adults against statues more than twenty meters away wasn’t something that ordinary people could do.

Without a doubt, Henry was definitely powerful and terrifying. But at the same time, his menace made everyone shudder.

Bryant and the other Wallaces looked at Henry in fear, not daring to breathe at all, afraid that they would incur the wrath of the grief-stricken Henry, who had just lost his apprentice and might vent all his anger on them.

After all, Nolan had died because Bryant wanted to take revenge for Liam.

“No matter who killed my apprentice, I will chop him up into pieces!” Henry hollered furiously with clenched fists.

Henry suddenly turned around and stared at Bryant. “My apprentice died helping you try to kill that bastard Lucas Gray.”

Bryant’s heart skipped a beat, and he gulped. Just as he was about to say something, Henry spoke again. “I want all the information about Lucas Gray within five minutes! If you dare to hide anything from me deliberately, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Then Henry picked up Nolan’s corpse from the ground and walked into the villa.

Standing at the entrance of the villa, Bryant and the others were full of anxiety.

Of course, he could immediately give Henry all the information they had found about Lucas, but there were many matters regarding Lucas that the Wallaces still couldn’t find out. If Henry got the wrong idea and took it that they were deliberately hiding things from him, there would be no way for them to explain themselves.

But this wasn’t exactly bad news for the Wallaces.

After learning about Nolan’s death, Henry was boiling with fury, and they knew that he would definitely personally go to avenge his apprentice. So Lucas would absolutely die without a doubt!

Elsewhere in Orange County at this moment, Lucas had just come out of a restaurant with Cheyenne, Amelia, and Charlotte after dinner.

The four of them had enjoyed a pleasant and heartwarming dinner. Charlotte looked at Cheyenne and Lucas and suddenly giggled. “Cheyenne, Lucas, do you two feel that it’s especially warm today?”

Cheyenne said in bewilderment, “No, the weather has been fine lately. And it’s been raining, so it’s not that warm now.”

Charlotte looked at Cheyenne, who answered her question seriously, and suddenly burst into laughter. “Cheyenne, you’re so cute. Don’t you realize that there are two large gooseberries beside you? My face is getting so warm! Am I right, Amelia?”

With that, she bent down and took the confused Amelia’s hand.

Only then did Cheyenne realize what Charlotte meant. She immediately felt ashamed and embarrassed as her cheeks became flushed. She chided in annoyance, “You… What nonsense are you saying? You’re going to lead Amelia astray!”

While speaking, she stole a glance at Lucas and happened to make eye contact with him, who was looking at her with a gentle and intense gaze.

Cheyenne’s heart began racing, and she frantically looked away, but her face became even warmer.

Charlotte chuckled when she saw how shy Cheyenne was. Holding Amelia’s hand, she suddenly asked, “Amelia, there’s a movie theater nearby. Why don’t I take you there to watch a movie?”

“Sure! I want to watch Mulan!” Amelia immediately cheered in joy when she heard that Charlotte was going to take her to the movies. Although she had already watched ‘Mulan’ a few times, she was still excited to watch it again.

Cheyenne immediately agreed, “Okay, I’ll go buy the tickets then!”

Charlotte pulled Cheyenne and whispered in her ear, “Cheyenne, are you that dense? I specifically suggested taking Amelia to watch a movie because I want to let you spend some time alone with Lucas. Why don’t you get it?”

“Charlotte, you… seriously!” Cheyenne finally realized what her sister was up to, and she couldn’t help pinching her face embarrassedly. “Nonsense!”

Charlotte dodged it with a smile. “Cheyenne, don’t you want to spend time alone with Lucas?”

Cheyenne was instantly stunned.

Lucas had a good sense of hearing. Even though they were whispering to each other, he could hear them clearly. When he heard the words ‘some time alone’, he couldn’t help but be stunned.
