The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 486 – The Mightiness of Deterrence

Chapter 486: The Mightiness of Deterrence

Elijah said while crying, “The hitman you… you met last night on Caldo Mountain was hired by Tristan and me. Callum said that you’d definitely find out that it was us and that you’d definitely take revenge on us. So he said we might as well kill you first!”

At this point, Joseph’s expression was already extremely ugly.

He never thought that his grandchildren, who seemed to be quite sensible, would do such a thing in private!

“In that case, were you the ones behind Lena’s repeated assassinations?” Lucas asked again.

Elijah hurriedly nodded. “That was my brother’s doing! He said that if the Parkers and the Sawyers united in a marriage alliance, they would surpass us sooner or later! Lena wasn’t the only one. He even hired people to assassinate Tristan several times, but he happened to escape.”

Elijah was so intimidated by Lucas that he almost revealed everything.

At the end, he begged Lucas repeatedly, “Those things were all done by my brother! I didn’t know anything about it… No, I was just aware of his plans at most, but I didn’t get involved in them at all. It had nothing to do with me. Please let me off! Don’t kill me!”

At this point, it was no longer necessary to continue asking any more questions.

The faces of the Owens were all gloomy.

Even if they still wanted to continue to argue, what Elijah said cut off all their possibilities of defense.

Joseph looked like he had aged more than ten years, and he couldn’t even keep his back straight anymore.

His unfilial grandchildren had done such a terrible thing, so much so that he was really ashamed and disappointed.

Lucas looked at Damon behind the crowd and instructed him, “The matter is already clear. I’ll leave the rest to you.”

He actually already knew the truth of the matter a long time ago. But to completely deter others, he decided to make a trip to the Owens to expose the truth and reveal everything.

He knew that Callum was cunning. And if he was allowed to defend himself, he would definitely try to distort the facts and even turn the situation around, causing Damon to misunderstand. Damon might waver and betray Lucas some time in the future.

As such, now that Damon knew the truth of the matter, he wouldn’t be worried anymore and would even be grateful to him.

Besides, he had just deliberately attacked Callum ruthlessly in front of so many people.

It was certainly because Lucas wouldn’t let off anyone who dared to frame him and make use of him. The other reason was obvious—to deter them!

Not only was he trying to deter Damon so that he wouldn’t dare to have second thoughts about him, but he was also trying to deter the Owens and the rest of the families in LA so that they wouldn’t dare to provoke him.

Damon walked up to Lucas and said sincerely, “Mr. Gray, thank you so much!”

Not only was he thanking Lucas for helping him figure out the truth about his grandson’s murder, but he was also thanking Lucas for destroying the Owens’ empire and giving them the chance to become the strongest family in LA.

If it wasn’t for Lucas’s magnanimity, the fact that his grandson had atrociously hired someone to assassinate Lucas last night alone was enough to trigger Lucas to destroy the Parkers.

Lucas looked at him and said in a deep voice, “I don’t want to say anything else. You only have to remember one thing. I will never tolerate any form of betrayal! If the Parkers dare to betray me in the future, I guarantee that you will definitely end up much worse than the Brookes!”

Damon’s heart tensed up, and he quickly lowered his head and promised, “There will definitely not be such a day! I swear that the Parkers will be loyal to you, Mr. Gray. From now on, we will never betray you in the slightest!”

He could now say that he was convinced by Lucas, be it because of the massive power Lucas had displayed when he destroyed the Owens or the fact that Lucas had casually shot a coin through Callum’s throat. These actions were daunting enough to make Damon too terrified to disrespect him.

He didn’t dare to have the slightest intention of betraying Lucas because he didn’t want to die!

After leaving all the matters here to Damon, Lucas didn’t say anything else and simply drove away with Flynn.

After Damon saw Lucas leave, he walked up to Joseph, raised his head, and asked with a gloomy expression on his face, “Joseph Owen, your grandson has already admitted to hiring someone to kill my grandson Tristan. He even admitted that your family was behind the previous assassinations. What else do you have to say now?”

Joseph’s face was ashen, but he couldn’t defend himself at all and could only let out a long sigh. “My family is unfortunate. My grandsons have done such an unforgivable thing, and I won’t defend them anymore. Damon, we have let you down! But this is all Callum’s doing, and the rest of us were unaware of it. I still hope that you will be merciful and spare the rest of us!”

As he said this, his emotions were extremely complicated.

His son didn’t have much talent and just liked leading a lavish lifestyle and squandering money. On the other hand, his grandson Callum had always been smart, reliable, and decisive, so Joseph had valued him greatly. He had even decided to let Callum take over and become the next helmsman of the Owens in the future.

Joseph also heard that the reason that Callum had done those things was that he hoped to suppress the Parkers and make the Owens the most powerful family in LA.

He had the talent and wits, but he had unfortunately taken the wrong path. And even more so, he had misjudged Lucas’s strength, which led to the total destruction of their family.

Since things had already come to this point, he had to give up even if he couldn’t bear to let his grandson go.

Damon sneered. “You’re trying to shirk all responsibility and make me let you people off while putting all the blame on your grandsons? How can there be such an easy deal?!”

Putting aside the fact that his grandson Tristan had been fooled by Callum and Elijah and even ended up dying in their hands; putting aside the fact that they had also tried to frame Lucas for the murder so that the Parkers would face a huge disaster, the various battles that the Parkers and Owens had been fighting against each other alone made Damon determined not to let go of this opportunity to take advantage and beat the Owens while they were down.

“The Owens have already declined to such a state. What else do you want?” Joseph bellowed furiously.

The Owens were almost reduced to bankruptcy after the heavy blows today.

Even if they sold all of their non-liquid assets, such as factories, villas, and stores, they would only be able to pay off the massive amount of fines and compensation for breach of contract.

After Callum’s murder plan was exposed, there was no way the Owens would be able to rise again either.

The Owens no longer posed any threat to the Parkers, so why was Damon still refusing to spare the rest of them?

Damon looked at Joseph gloomily. “If you were in my position, would you let go of the enemy who killed your own grandson so easily? I want everyone in your family to cut off their own arms in order to avenge my late grandson! This is also the punishment for all of you!”
