1252 Seeing Through Everything
“Ahem, you must be mistaken, buddy.” Brett coughed twice before quickly explaining, “Why would we try to trick you? My father is truly sincere about inviting you to be our guest elder. If you don’t believe , you can co ho with us, and we’ll sign a contract with you. We aren’t lying!”
Lucas glanced at Brett indifferently. “Who are you to call your buddy?”
Brett’s forced smile imdiately stiffened.
His remark was like a slap in Brett’s face.
When he called Lucas ‘buddy’, he had swallowed his pride to get closer to him.
Brett was a direct descendant of the Hamiltons, and he even had the chance to beco the leader of all the royal family branches in the future. If it wasn’t for the sake of making Lucas less hostile and getting closer to him, there was no need for him to lower his status and call Lucas his buddy.
But now that Lucas was so insensible that he openly said he wasn’t worthy of calling him his buddy, Brett was on the verge of losing his temper.
Lucas Gray is way too arrogant and conceited!
But right now, for the sake of achieving their goal, Brett could only force himself to suppress his anger and say stiffly, “You… you’re right, Mr. Gray. We’re indeed not close enough to be buddies. It was too sudden of .”
Seeing him swallowing his pride and anger, Lucas found it extrely ridiculous.
Brett was putting on the airs of a wealthy scion while looking as if he was enduring humiliation. His acting skills were worlds apart from Jensens’.
Lucas couldn’t be bothered to continue watching Jensen and Brett put on an act anymore. He said directly, “We’re all smart people. Don’t treat others as fools.”
He glanced at Jensen and sneered. “As far as I know, you’re only the third son of the Hamiltons’ helmsman. But in fact, you don’t have much real power. Do you think you have the right to invite to be your family’s guest elder for an annual salary of four hundred million dollars?
“Four hundred million dollars a year isn’t a small sum. In your family, you need your elders’ or the helmsman’s approval to issue any salary above thirty million dollars, right?
“So, you’re just giving an empty promise and trying to make work for the Hamiltons. Aren’t you treating as a fool then?”
Jensen’s and Brett’s eyes widened in shock. They didn’t expect Lucas to be so clear about so of the Hamiltons’ rules!
Jensen subconsciously opened his mouth to find an excuse to explain himself.
But Lucas didn’t give him the chance. “Don’t think I can’t tell what your intentions are!
“Since I don’t believe you, you want to go to your ho to sign a contract? Hah, if I really believed you and went to the Hamiltons’ with you, I would probably be ambushed by your family, and it would be hard for to leave.
“At that ti, I would be stuck in your ho base and be like a lamb to the slaughter. Isn’t that so?
“According to your plan, if I’m sensible enough, I should submit to your family and slog my guts out for you. Only in this way can I survive. If I’m not sensible and still reject your offer, what awaits will be your family’s siege. Then you’ll get rid of , a pawn you can’t make use of, right?
“Of course, if I refuse to return to the Hamiltons’ with you, you can also say that you have expressed enough sincerity to get to lower my guard so that you can call more experts from your family to besiege , right?”
Lucas’s analysis made Jensen’s and Brett’s expressions change drastically.
They never thought that Lucas would see through their intentions!
Jensen and Brett were instantly caught in an awkward situation.
If anyone else had seen through their plan, Jensen would definitely kill them.
But Lucas was so powerful that even Jensen’s bodyguard, Moses, had been easily defeated by him. Lucas had effortlessly crushed Moses’s hand with his bare hand, so Jensen definitely didn’t have the guts to fight against Lucas now.
On the contrary, he now felt a sense of fear toward Lucas.
If Lucas really beca angry by what he said and suddenly decided to kill them, they would have no way to resist.
Countless thoughts flashed through Jensen’s mind as his expression kept changing rapidly.
Almost two seconds later, Jensen had already co to a decision. “Mr. Gray, we absolutely don’t dare to do that. Besides, I’ve already decided to give up California and stay away from now on. I will leave California tonight.”
Jensen imdiately beca much more respectful, and he even promised, “Please rest assured, Mr. Gray. The Hamiltons will never send people to harm you. I can guarantee this!”
Brett glanced at his father and lowered his head quietly, clearly with the sa idea in mind.
Lucas glanced at them and said coldly, “Okay, I’ll spare your lives today then. Get lost!”
Jensen and Brett imdiately heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly left.
The two bodyguards by their sides, Mateo and Moses, who had his hand crippled by Lucas, hurriedly left with them.
Now, only Lucas and the top five helmsn in California were in the room.
Bruce and Edmund were on Lucas’s side, and Ethan had wisely chosen to stand on his side this ti.
Jim Sullivan and Anton Hols were the only helmsn left.
After exchanging glances, Jim and Anton suddenly fell to their knees with a thud in front of Lucas. “Mr. Gray, we… we were wrong, and we’d like to follow you now too. Please give us your approval!”
Lucas didn’t even look at them.
He was planning to develop in DC, and the people he would be bringing with him were all those loyal to him. As for others, they weren’t within his consideration at all.
Lucas glanced at Ethan, who was standing at the side nervously, and said indifferently, “From now on, the Sawyers will be the top family in California.”
