The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 554 – Going to the Taylors’ Again

Chapter 554: Going to the Taylors’ Again

Edmund’s words made Lucas glance at him in surprise.

Logically speaking, with the strength of the Coles in San Francisco, they wouldn’t be afraid of the Taylors at all, unless there was something more to this.

At the thought of Edmund being old and experienced, Lucas knew that he definitely knew more than him, so he chose to consider his opinion first.

At this moment, Marc, who had both legs crippled and was now lying on the ground with a miserable look on his face, suddenly said, “Lucas… Mr. Gray, I’ve already told you everything you want to know. Please spare my life!”

His father, Moses, also quickly walked over and begged for mercy on Marc’s behalf. “That’s right, Mr. Gray. Today’s incident was indeed my son’s fault. But now that your mother-in-law is still alive, and you’ve already taught Marc a lesson by crippling both his legs, please spare him!”

While speaking, he hurriedly took out a bank card from his breast pocket and handed it to Lucas. “Of course, if you are willing to spare my son, I’m willing to give you all my life savings. I have more than fifteen million, and I’ll give it all to you! The password is written on the card!”

He had never been valued by the Kingstons. So he had earned most of his money from the businesses he owned and his investments in futures.

Moses was going all out to save his son.

Lucas looked at him and couldn’t help sighing. Although most of the Kingstons were ruthless and unloyal, he was impressed by Moses’ fatherly love.

As Moses said, if Karen had been killed by Marc, Lucas would have definitely not let him off since he was the murderer. But now that Karen was still alive, while Marc was destined to be crippled for the rest of his life, he should have learned his lesson. Therefore, Lucas didn’t want to pursue it further.

However…

“Before I find Karen Turner, I’ll let you keep your life for the time being. But if I find out that you dared to lie to me again, I will definitely come back and take it away from you!”

After speaking coldly, he grabbed the bank card from Moses and turned around to leave.

Although he didn’t need the money, the Coles, the Parkers, the Hales, Joe, and the others had brought a large number of people over to help him. They had even fought with the Kingstons’ bodyguards, and many of them were injured.

Thus, Lucas took the money on their behalf. It was considered a reward and compensation for them.

As Lucas turned around to leave, all the people who had followed him here left with him too.

The Kingstons’ affairs should naturally be handled by themselves.

After leaving the Kingston manor, Lucas finally looked at Edmund and asked, “Mr. Cole, what did you mean by what you said earlier?”

Edmund took a deep breath, looked at Lucas seriously, and asked, “Do you really want to make a move against the Taylors?”

Lucas raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, “Based on what you’re saying, it seems that the Taylors can’t be touched, huh? Are they more domineering than the Kingstons?”

Edmund shook his head, but he said solemnly, “In terms of strength, the Taylors of Orange County naturally can’t compare with the Kingstons of San Francisco. But their backer isn’t simple!

“On the surface, the Taylors’ backer seems to be the Kingstons. After all, the Kingstons have always been supporting them, and the Taylors have been obeying their orders and have helped them more than once or twice. But the true backer behind the Taylors is another entity.

“That is… the Peerless Martial Association!”

When he said the last four words, even Edmund had a scrupulous gaze in his eyes.

Lucas was no stranger to the Peerless Martial Association.

After all, he had already dealt with the members of this organization twice.

The first time was when he caught the murderer who had killed Tristan. At the time, he had clamored that he was a member of the Peerless Martial Association. And he even said that if Lucas dared to hit him, he would definitely face the revenge of the Peerless Martial Association.

The second time was the night he saved Skylar. Lucas had killed seven members of the Peerless Martial Association who were after Skylar in seconds. Moreover, Skylar, who was now Lucas’s subordinate, was also a former member of the Peerless Martial Association.

Previously, Skylar had mentioned to him that the Peerless Martial Association committed all sorts of evils, one of which was searching for beautiful women everywhere and forcing them to work for the organization as social escorts to win over others or to coerce them and whatnot. At the time, Lucas had recalled the mysterious organization that supplied beautiful women to the Taylors.

After hearing what Edmund said, Lucas was almost certain that the organization that had sent beautiful women to the Taylors had to be the Peerless Martial Association!

“The Peerless Martial Association… I’ve also heard some information about it. It’s said that in DC, the Peerless Martial Association is so powerful that even the eight great giants of DC will not easily offend it.”

Edmund nodded. “Yes, the Peerless Martial Association is an extremely tightly-knit and massive organization, and it has branches in almost every state and many branches all over the world. It is truly a behemoth, but at the same time, it is very low-profile and secretive. Generally, very few can detect its existence.

“Take San Francisco, for example. Everyone only knows that the Coles, the Kingstons, and the Walkers as the powerful trinity. But in fact, the Peerless Martial Association’s San Francisco branch has far greater financial strength and power than us.

“I also inadvertently learned about the contact between the Taylors and the Peerless Martial Association. So if you aren’t well-prepared and just take your men to the Taylors’ to ask them to hand over your mother-in-law, I’m afraid it won’t be that simple. This is why I told you not to act rashly,” he said earnestly.

Lucas nodded, but he said with a faint smile, “It’s fine. I have to go to the Taylors eventually. If the Peerless Martial Association doesn’t appear, I’ll forget it, but if it must interfere with my affairs, I’ll annihilate it!”

Lucas’s entire body was emanating an imposing aura, and his handsome face was full of confidence.

“…” Edmund was so shocked by Lucas’s words that he couldn’t come back to his senses for a long time.

If he had heard Lucas’s words prior to today, he would have laughed at him for being overly ambitious and idealistic or even somewhat ignorant.

But now, after witnessing Lucas’s terrifying strength and his surging, righteous aura, he couldn’t help feeling that Lucas might really be able to achieve it.

No, in fact, as long as he said it, he could definitely do it!

“Good, you’re very ambitious! It’s time for me to admit that I’m already an old man!” Edmund laughed and looked at Lucas with more appreciation in his eyes.

Lucas answered with a smile, “Mr. Cole, you helped me today, and you even went out of your way to become enemies with the Kingstons for my sake. I will always remember our friendship. If you ever need my help in the future, don’t hesitate to let me know!”

Although Lucas hadn’t really needed it, he would always remember those who were willing to come over to stand on his side today and oppose a strong enemy like the Kingstons.

Edmund laughed heartily. “Hey, what is this? You saved my life, and I merely showed my support for you. I didn’t help with anything. Haha, Lucas, you’re standing on ceremony!”

After talking and laughing with him for a while, Edmund bid goodbye and left with his granddaughter Alexis.

“Bye, Lucas!” Alexis waved at Lucas smilingly and then left with Edmund.

Damon, Connor, and Joe walked over.

“Mr. Gray, shall we go to the Taylors’ to ask them to hand Karen Turner over?” Damon asked with excitement.

Lucas shook his head. “No, you are from LA, so it’s not suitable for you to go to the Taylors’. Go back to LA first. I will call you if I need your help with anything. However, don’t spread a single word to anyone about what happened today. Inform your subordinates too!”

Damon immediately agreed.

After he left, Lucas walked toward his Jaguar.

Connor, Joe, and the others all walked over and asked, “Mr. Gray, where are you going? To the Taylors’?”

Lucas nodded. “Yes, I’m going to the Taylors’!”
