The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 715 – Join The Alliance

Chapter 715: Join The Alliance

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Vince’s cheek muscles trembled, and he immediately felt like he couldn’t hold back any longer.

As a direct descendant of the Smiths, who had been raised to be the successor since he was a child, Vince had held power for many years and was naturally not a foolish person whom others could manipulate.

When he entered the Walton Hotel and met Lucas earlier, the few words Lucas had said and the evasive look in Wendy’s eyes had been enough for Vince to figure out who had actually killed his son.

He could basically conclude without any additional evidence that his son’s death definitely had something to do with his cousin Wendy!

But so what?

His most important task today was to help the Smiths take over California.

Once he completed this task, Vince would gain the greatest merit and would undoubtedly become the only candidate for the family’s next successor.

He definitely wanted to avenge his son, but Roy wasn’t his only son. Besides, the Smiths had always placed little emphasis on kinship. Even though Roy was his own flesh and blood, he didn’t actually have much affection for him.

The most crucial thing he had to do now was to deal with Lucas, who had suddenly popped up and gotten in his way. As for the real murderer of his son, it wouldn’t be too late for him to settle scores with her later!

At the thought of this, Vince stopped arguing with Lucas and instead said coldly, “I shall see who will have the last laugh! You think you’re great, huh? But you’re nothing compared to the Smiths!”

Then Vince stood up, looked around the room, and announced loudly, “Since we’re all here for the California Elite Business Exchange, I, Vince Smith, hereby announce that the Smiths are going to establish a Smith Business Alliance. Everyone here has the right to join!

“Once you choose to join the Smith Business Alliance, you will be able to enjoy the support of the Smiths’ resources, and we’ll also help you to expand into the DC market, as well as the areas where the Smiths hold power.

“Every family that joins the alliance will become my family’s ally, and the outstanding descendants of your family can also be sent to my family to learn and be nurtured. They may even have the chance to take on positions in the Smiths’ major enterprises!

“Additionally, all the families who join the Smith Business Alliance will receive the help of the alliance regardless of whether you are attacked by other families or face a sudden crisis. This is truly an alliance where there is mutual aid!

“Everyone here is the leader of your respective families, so I’m sure you all naturally know how much the business alliance will benefit you! Now, you can all choose for yourselves whether to join the Smith Business Alliance or not!”

Vince dropped a bomb out of the blue.

No one expected that the Smiths would set up the Smith Business Alliance and rope in the various families of California!

Did this mean that the Smith Business Alliance would be the greatest organization in California in the future?

In other words, from now on, all the families in California would be under the control of this business alliance!

Lance and Herman were both astonished. They weren’t aware of Vince’s plan prior to this.

They had initially thought that the Smiths would choose either the Kingstons or the Walkers to represent the Smiths in California and take charge of the entire state for them.

But since the Smiths were launching this alliance plan, it meant that they didn’t intend to choose any family to be their agent and instead wanted the Smiths to take control of the entire alliance!

Thus, the Smiths’ control over California would be much firmer than in the previous plan.

If the alliance could be established, California would be under the Smiths’ control.

“…”

After a short period of silence, the helmsman of several families stood up.

“The Ansons wish to join the alliance!”

“The Browns as well!”

“The Jasons want to join the Smith Business Alliance!”

…

After these people started, more and more helmsmen of various families spoke up and expressed their desire to join the Smith Business Alliance.

There were 69 first-tier families and forces participating in the Elite Business Exchange. And in just a minute, the 20 helmsmen spoke up one after another and agreed to join the alliance.

Lance’s and Herman’s faces became even more sullen.

The scene in front of them was very much like the situation earlier where several families responded to Herman’s call in front of Lance, who had known nothing about it.

Anyone with brains would know that they shouldn’t decide whether or not to join the alliance within such a short time. The only reasonable explanation was that Vince must have roped them all in beforehand.

This also meant that right from the start, Vince had never wanted to give California to the Kingstons nor the Walkers for them to take control on his behalf. All along, he had been using them!

Their faces were incredibly gloomy. But since Vince was a Smith, there was nothing they could do regardless of how furious they were.

They didn’t even dare to show a tinge of their opposition to the Smiths.

When the candidates who joined the Smith Business Alliance were confirmed later, the Kingstons and the Walkers could only pretend to smile and join the alliance as the core!

Looking conceitedly at the increasing number of families standing in front of him, Vince smiled smugly at Lucas. “Punk, do you see this? In such a short time, more than half of the families here are already willing to join my alliance. It’s only a matter of time before the rest agree! This is what holding crushing power is! You’re all alone. What right do you have to go against me?”

He expected to see shock and frustration on Lucas’s face. But unfortunately, Lucas kept a straight face throughout.

“Is that so? Things haven’t been set in stone yet, but you already think you’ve won. Aren’t you rejoicing too soon?!” Lucas sneered with contempt.

If what he expected happened, the Smiths’ brazen act of encroaching on all of California would definitely cause another major force to be displeased.

He just didn’t know when this force would come.

“Hah, by doing this, the Smiths don’t take us seriously at all!” A voice as loud as thunder suddenly came from the door of the venue.

The door opened, and a majestic figure in a black trenchcoat entered with a domineering gait, surrounded by a large group of imposing, tall, and burly men.
