The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray - Chapter 466

Chapter 466: Life Savior

Lucas smiled faintly and asked rhetorically, “What do you think?”

Lucas’s casual reply made Damon even more convinced, so much so that he turned pale.

It seemed that he had… really made an extremely terrifying enemy for himself…

But Matthew had yet to notice it. With a look of determination in his eyes, he looked at Stanley, who had an intimidating aura and had just scared off more than ten elite bodyguards with merely one glance.

“Stanley, come work for the Bensons! I guarantee that I’ll pay you five times more than what this punk is paying you, regardless of how much it is! What do you think?” Matthew offered.

He had thought about recruiting Stanley a long time ago. But unfortunately, at the time, even the Kingstons had failed to poach Stanley, despite having offered attractive conditions. So the Bensons had given up on the idea.

But now that Stanley’s former employers, the Brookes, were no longer around, and Lucas was just a penniless man in his mind, Matthew felt that Lucas couldn’t possibly offer Stanley any attractive terms.

So he offered to pay Stanley five times what Jordan had offered, believing that Stanley would be tempted!

As long as Stanley agreed, Lucas would be at his mercy!

But Matthew didn’t expect Stantly to reject his offer unceremoniously without hesitation.

Stanley said, “Get lost!”

Matthew’s face instantly darkened, and a trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes! “I was nice enough to offer you a chance. But since you’re so ignorant, I won’t be kind to you!”

After speaking sternly, Matthew glanced at a bodyguard in gray who had been standing close to him.

The gray-clothed bodyguard suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist and aimed it at Stanley.

The people around him immediately shrieked, and those who had already backed quite a great distance away once again retreated in fear.

They were intimidated by the pistol.

Matthew looked rather smug as he stared at Stanley, who seemed to be too scared to move while being held at gunpoint.

No matter how good of a fighter Stanley Ray is, can he dodge bullets?

“I’ll give you one more chance. If you’re not willing to come work for me, then you’ll have only one outcome!” Matthew’s eyes were full of certainty that Stanley wouldn’t dare to disobey him at this point.

Stanley looked at the gun in the bodyguard’s hand coldly with menace on his face.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded at the entrance of the hotel. “Matthew, you’re really mighty!”

Four people suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hotel, most of whom were elderly men in their late sixties or seventies. Only the person at the back was a young and beautiful girl in her twenties.

The person who just mocked Matthew was an old man in his seventies standing with his back straight.

“Old man, who the hell are you? How dare you call Mr. Benson by his name?!” One of the helmsmen immediately stepped forward and rebuked when he saw the old man in plain clothes.

The moment Matthew heard this old man’s voice, he shivered, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was so frightened that he almost peed his pants after hearing the rebuke from the foolish helmsman beside him!

“Bastard! That’s the helmsman of the Coles family. How dare you insult him, you scoundrel?” Matthew slapped this helmsman hard on the face, and the powerful force made him fall to the ground.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw that the gray-clothed bodyguard behind him was still holding the pistol in his hand. He hurriedly cursed, “And you, bastard! Who told you to take your pistol out? Do you have a death wish?”

Despite being lectured harshly, the bodyguard didn’t dare to retort and immediately put the pistol away.

Matthew’s unusual behavior and the fact that he called the elderly man ‘Mr. Cole’ gave the people present a clear idea of the identity of this old man.

It was Edmund Cole, the helmsman of the Cole family!

“Oh my god! Could he be the helmsman of the legendary Cole family from San Francisco?”

“I once heard that the Bensons are subordinate to the Coles? Could he be the helmsman?”

“Wow. I can’t believe that I’d be able to meet this legendary figure in my lifetime! It’s the esteemed Mr. Cole! They’re truly a noble family that’s countless times superior to even the Parkers!”

…

Edmund’s appearance caused yet another uproar in the ballroom.

After lashing out at that helmsman who spoke rudely to Edmund, Matthew immediately ran to him and said with a fawning smile while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead. “Mr. Cole, what brings you here all of a sudden?”

Edmund said coldly with an indifferent expression, “If I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have gotten the chance to see you behaving so arrogantly, would I?”

Matthew’s heart skipped a beat, and a layer of cold sweat once again broke out on his face. He hurriedly said, “Mr. Cole, I… I was just scaring that good-for-nothing with my gun. I definitely wouldn’t really dare to shoot him dead!”

“Good-for-nothing? Who are you calling a good-for-nothing?” Edmund’s gaze was cold and austere.

Matthew’s bodyguard had been aiming his gun at Lucas and Stanley.

Matthew didn’t dare to say that he had been trying to force Stanley to work for him because Edmund knew of Stanley too. Matthew was afraid that Edmund might also be here to poach Stanley. He merely pointed at Lucas, who was behind Stanley. “I… This good-for-nothing disrespected me. That’s why I wanted to scare him!”

Edmund suddenly hollered in exasperation, “How dare you?! How dare you call my life savior a good-for-nothing? Matthew, have you lived in luxury for too long and forgotten what you really are?”

He used to be from the military, so he was extremely stern by nature. At this moment, he flew into a rage and roared at Matthew with a thunderous voice, causing the latter’s legs to turn limp as he fell to his knees.

Thud!

Matthew’s heart started beating wildly, and his face was deathly pale as large beads of sweat trickled down his face.

Edmund’s sudden rage almost scared him to death!

But he found Edmund’s words to be even more terrifying.

What did I just hear?

Lucas Gray is Mr. Cole’s life savior?!

W-what’s going on?

Not only was Matthew frightened, but everyone else in the ballroom was also in fear and stunned by Edmund’s words.

It turned out that Lucas, whom they thought was a good-for-nothing, was acquainted with Edmund.

Could it be that Mr. Cole is here for Lucas Gray too?
