The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray-Chapter 1319 - Trap within an Opportunity
1319 Trap within an Opportunity
Norman’s face flushed red with excitement. Is… is this an opportunity bestowed by God?
Did God send me a savior to help me change my life?
He had just lost the position of helmsman and hit rock bottom in life, but now, he actually ran into Jensen, the third scion of the Hamiltons, one of the legendary royal family branches. Jensen was even giving him the opportunity to take everything back. Lady Luck was smiling at him!
“Yes, of course I want it! Thank you, Mr. Hamilton!” Norman nodded repeatedly while rubbing his hands eagerly.
Jensen smirked, seemingly having already expected this. He pointed at the two experts behind him. “These two behind me are the experts that the Hamiltons have trained. No one knows who they are.
“I can lend these two experts to you temporarily, and they will all obey your orders, even if you want them to commit arson and kill!
“This is the chance I’m giving you.”
Norman stared at Jensen in shock, unable to believe it.
Just by looking at them, he could already sense how terrifying these two powerhouses behind Jensen were. They were much stronger than the strongest experts of the Holmes, but Jensen actually said that he would lend them to him and allow him to order them as he pleased.
If he could really get the help of such powerhouses, Richie’s subordinates would no longer pose a threat to him at all, and he would easily be able to take back the position of helmsman from Richie!
Norman looked excitedly at the two powerhouses, as if he could already imagine the scene of himself becoming the helmsman again.
But Norman wasn’t a fool, and he knew that there was no free lunch in the world. Jensen definitely had a motive for lending two top experts to him.
In other words, he had to do something in exchange for the experts’ help.
Suppressing his excitement, Norman asked respectfully, “Mr. Hamilton, what do you need me to do?”
“Mr. Holmes, you are indeed a smart person.” Jensen smiled with approval. “What I need you to do is very simple and in line with your goal. I want you to deal with Lucas Gray!”
Norman was astonished. He never expected that Jensen’s request was for him to deal with Lucas!
He didn’t expect that Lucas had offended Jensen too.
“Norman Holmes, I only have one request. You must bring me Lucas Gray’s head!” A shocking murderous intent appeared in Jensen’s eyes. 𝗳𝒓eℯ𝘄𝘦𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝗲Ɩ． 𝑐𝒐𝘮
It was the same for Norman. When he thought about how Lucas had robbed more than half of the Holmes’ assets, beaten his son to the extent that he was still lying in the hospital, and caused him to lose his position as helmsman, his eyes were full of maniacal hatred.
Seeing this, Jensen was very pleased.
The reason he had approached Norman and lent his experts to him to deal with Lucas was that he knew about Norman’s resentment toward Lucas.
As long as he hated him, he would be able to exert all his strength and go all out to take revenge against Lucas!
“Mr. Hamilton, please rest assured. With your help, I will definitely be able to behead Lucas Gray within two days and hand his head over to you!” Norman said confidently.
As long as Jensen lent the experts to him, Norman would no longer fear Lucas and be able to kill him.
As long as Lucas died, no one would ever know that he was the culprit. When the time came, not only would he have taken revenge, but he would also regain his position as helmsman. It would be wonderful!
When Jensen saw how confident Norman was, as if he had already obtained victory, he suddenly dampened his spirits. “Norman Holmes, I have to remind you that Lucas Gray is not easy to deal with. He’s extremely powerful, and even my two bodyguards might not be a match for him. You’re speaking too soon by saying that you can behead Lucas in two days.”
Norman had never seen Lucas fight and merely thought that he had powerful subordinates. He had no idea how terrifying his martial arts skills were. After hearing what Jensen said, Norman was in disbelief.
“Mr. Hamilton, that… that can’t be right. Lucas Gray is only in his twenties, which is even younger than my son. How could he be so good at martial arts? Shouldn’t your experts be able to kill Lucas Gray easily?” Nathan asked in shock and bewilderment.
Jensen sneered. “If Lucas Gray was really that easy to deal with, would I still need you to deal with him? I could have just gotten my bodyguards to kill him.”
Norman was speechless.
Indeed, if Lucas was really that easy to get rid of, Jensen could have ordered his subordinates to do it. He wouldn’t have had to go all the way to Norman and get him to deal with Lucas.
Could Lucas Gray be a top expert?
Seeing the expression on Norman’s face, Jensen continued, “It seems that you really don’t know anything about Lucas Gray! I’ll be kind and give you some information!
“Lucas Gray is an abandoned son of the Huttons, one of the eight top families of DC. He was kicked out by the Huttons two decades ago. Everything he has now, he attained through his own efforts. I’m sure you know without me saying just how terrifying a man like him is.
“In addition, Lucas Gray is incredibly skilled at martial arts. Even the third-ranked powerhouse of my family claims that he isn’t a match for him. Yet you dared to say that you could easily behead him and bring his head to me in two days? Don’t say such things again, lest you make others laugh!
“I want you to deal with Lucas Gray smartly, not recklessly. Think about it carefully!”
Hearing this, Norman was even more shocked.
He had assumed that Lucas was the scion of a certain prominent family, thinking that this must be why he possessed such strong forces. But now that he knew that Lucas was self-made and that he had carved a career of his own at such a young age, his shock was imaginable.
The even more terrifying thing was Lucas’s martial arts skills!
The martial arts proficiency of the third-ranked powerhouses of the Hamiltons was beyond what Norman could imagine.
But even so, he was no match for Lucas. In that case, how terrifying must Lucas be?
In that case, How could he deal with Lucas?
At this moment, Norman finally understood what Jensen meant. He wanted Norman to take the rap for killing Lucas.
In other words, he wanted Norman to take the full blame for it.
In case he failed to deal with Lucas, Norman would be the only one responsible, and the Hamiltons would have nothing to do with it!
The thought of it made a chill surge in Norman’s heart, and his initial joy had long vanished.
Even the Hamiltons didn’t dare to offend Lucas openly. Who was he to deal with him?
Jensen’s request wasn’t a Godsend opportunity but clearly a massive trap!
This was definitely a path to death!
