The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 361 – Already Settled

Chapter 361: Already Settled

This was the second time that Stanley faced this situation. The last time was when the Brookes forced him to make a choice by holding him at gunpoint at their mansion in LA.

In fact, Stanley couldn’t guarantee that he could retreat safely from the storm of bullets. According to the experience and knowledge he had gained over the years, Lucas was the only one who could easily dodge bullets fired simultaneously by multiple gunmen. Stanley could hardly imagine just how terrifying Lucas’s strength was.

Thus, he just said those words to deter the Wallaces from shooting.

The expression on Pierre’s face changed rapidly, and Stanley could tell that he was having an extremely complicated mental battle.

From his point of view, he certainly didn’t want the Wallaces to gain such a powerful enemy.

Even the formidable Henry had been killed by a fatal slash to his throat. How could ordinary people like them be able to resist or even retaliate against such a terrifying and murderous figure?

However, Henry was a guest they invited from the Kingstons, yet he suddenly died in the Wallaces’ manor. If the Wallaces chose not to do anything about it and just let the murderer leave scot-free, they would definitely have to face the Kingstons’ wrath!

If the Kingstons became enraged, it would no longer be something the Wallaces can solve easily. The entire family might even perish!

The gaze in Pierre’s eyes changed, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, “No, you can’t leave!”

Stanley’s eyes were quickly full of murderous intent. “In that case, you’re choosing to become my enemy, huh?”

He moved his fingers, and the dagger he just used to kill Henry began to rotate at his fingertips again while flickering with an icy cold light.

At the same time, Stanley scanned his surroundings quickly to plan his next move.

Looking at the sharp dagger on Stanley’s fingertips, many of the Wallaces seemed terrified. The scene of Henry having his throat slit was way too gruesome and shocking, so much so that they couldn’t forget it at all.

Pierre once again seemed to be conflicted, but he soon suppressed his feelings of hesitation and said resolutely, “You killed Henry Salve, who worked for the Kingstons. I can’t let you go just like that! We won’t just kill you. We only want to keep you behind and take you to the Kingstons so that you can explain to them yourself!”

Stanley sneered. “You want to keep me behind? Let’s see if you have what it takes! But you better think this through carefully. Once you decide to open fire, it means you’ve chosen to become my enemy, and I will absolutely not show you any mercy!

“This dagger I’m holding will definitely pierce through your throats when you shoot! You’d better think carefully about what exactly you want to do!”

The dagger in his hand flashed with cold glints of light as he waved it through the air.

Pierre immediately felt an extremely cold sensation on his neck, as if Stanley had already placed the dagger against his throat.

He was stuck in a tough dilemma. As the helmsman of the family, his decision concerned his own life, as well as those of the entire Wallace family. So he had no choice but to consider carefully before making a decision.

At this moment, Darren inched close to Pierre and said eagerly, “Dad, you can’t let him off! Otherwise, the Kingstons will definitely hold us responsible. When the time comes, none of us will be able to escape!

“I don’t believe that there’s really someone in this world who isn’t afraid of getting shot by guns! He must be lying and boasting just to scare us. Any one of us here can fire several bullets through his body! Even if we can’t kill on the spot, he will definitely sustain injuries. Even if he can fly, he won’t be able to escape our premises!

“I don’t believe that he can really hurt you! There are so many bodyguards in front of you to protect you. No matter what, he can’t do anything to you!”

Pierre quickly thought about his words and nodded lightly. But at this moment, Stanley suddenly stomped his foot against the ground and began moving!

“Shoot!” Pierre immediately yelled, his heart skipping a beat.

But humans are not machines after all. From the moment they received Pierre’s command to the time they pulled the trigger, only a split second passed.

But in this split second, Stanley had already darted past them and vanished without a trace.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

…

A series of gunshots that sounded like firecrackers filled the air, but none of the bullets hit anything.

During this very short period of time, Stanley didn’t retreat and instead charged straight toward Henry’s villa.

He had already observed the terrain outside and the layout of the houses. Because they were at the entrance of the villa, there was plenty of space and very few obstructions. The object nearest to him that could provide cover was the large marble statue more than ten meters away.

So the villa, which was only a few meters away from him, was the best choice.

After dodging into the villa extremely quickly to evade the bullets, Stanley ducked into the corner of the wall where the bullets wouldn’t be able to reach him.

Pierre knew they were in trouble and hurriedly roared in exasperation, “Chase after him!”

The gunmen immediately acknowledged the order and dashed into the villa with their pistols in hand. Then they fired several shots in a row at the corner that Stanley was hiding in.

But Stanley obviously wouldn’t stay in place. He was a former leader of the assault team of the Falcon Regiment and an expert in assassination and quick escapes. He had long moved away from his initial spot, causing the gunmen to miss again.

“Quick! Find him immediately. You must seize him no matter what. I want him dead or alive!” Pierre hollered furiously at the top of his lungs.

If they couldn’t find Stanley and kill him immediately, none of the Wallaces would be able to fight back against him, given how Stanley had been able to kill the formidable Henry.

The thought of having such a terrifying enemy that could kill them at any time made Pierre turn pale and break out in a cold sweat.

But after searching the villa and even the entire Wallace estate, they still couldn’t find Stanley, which was frustrating and to their dismay.

Stanley had escaped!

Lucas, who had just bathed Amelia, received a short text message on his phone. There were only four words—”It has been settled.”
