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

Chapter 894: My Intention

Lucas didn’t hide it from him. He nodded straightforwardly.

“Tsk, I knew you must have come here for a reason! So much for thinking that my childhood friend came to see me.”

Roman showed a disappointed expression and then shrugged. “Let’s go talk in my office then.”

Soon, the two of them arrived in Roman’s office.

The office was large, and the furnishings were naturally luxurious.

On the other side of this office, Lucas could even detect more than ten extremely powerful auras. They probably belonged to some of the experts that Roman had trained.

“Okay, let’s talk. Why did you specially come find me?” Roman sat down on the couch in a relaxed manner and gestured for Lucas to take a seat.

Lucas went straight to the point and explained his purpose.

“A fool from the Huttons provoked me because he thinks I want to snatch away what he cares about the most.

“Although I’m not interested in what he cares about, I will be happy if I can make him unhappy.

“I came to see you with the intention of giving you the position he cares about the most.

“So, I’d like to know if you’re interested in becoming the successor of the helmsman?”

Lucas was extremely straightforward.

After hearing the reason for Lucas’s visit, Roman was no longer relaxed. His body stiffened, and shock appeared in his eyes.

Although he quickly covered it up, this naturally couldn’t escape the eyes of Lucas, who had been watching him closely.

“Hah, Lucas, are you joking? Did you come here to make fun of me?” Roman exhaled the smoke in his mouth and smiled. “On account of our friendship from many years ago, I’ll take it that I didn’t hear what you just said. Don’t crack the same joke in front of me again.”

Roman’s reaction was completely within Lucas’s expectations.

Lucas didn’t believe that he didn’t have any interest or ambition in being the helmsman of the Huttons. But this person was extremely good at pretending. If he admitted it so soon, Lucas would be surprised instead.

“Roman, if you really don’t want that position, I’m afraid you wouldn’t have secretly trained so many experts over the years, right?” Lucas said calmly.

“What did you say?!” Roman’s expression immediately changed, and even the deliberate languid look on his face vanished.

The fact that he had been secretly training experts for many years was known only to him and a few of his closest assistants. He had never told any outsiders about it, and he had arranged most of the experts he secretly controlled in extremely secretive places.

So, how did Lucas know about it?

“What nonsense are you saying? Hmph, what experts? I don’t know what you’re saying.

“If you’re referring to those boxers upstairs, I’m naturally training them to work for me!

“As for the other stuff you said, I’m not interested at all. I don’t know anything about it, nor am I interested in knowing!

“If you’re here to catch up with me today, I’ll gladly welcome you. But if you’re here to say such weird things to me or you’re trying to test me for someone, give up on those ideas quickly!”

Roman’s face was extremely gloomy at this moment, and he was desperately trying to draw a line between himself and the matter Lucas mentioned. He was even close to chasing Lucas away.

But the angrier he was, the more it showed that he cared about a certain thing in his heart.

Lucas came to Roman today specifically for this matter, so how could he give up so easily?

Of course, he also understood why Roman was wary of him.

After all, Roman had always been a secretive and vigilant person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been secretly developing his own forces for so many years without attracting the attention of the Huttons.

For someone as overly cautious as Roman, it is almost impossible to get him to admit anything of his own accord.

Extraordinary times called for extraordinary measures.

“Okay, since you refuse to admit it, I’ll call the Huttons right now and tell them that there are many experts in your office on the top floor of World Entertainment City. I’ll tell them to confirm if they’re boxers or another type of expert!”

He pulled out his phone and pretended to make a call.

“Damn it! What do you want to do?”

Roman could no longer maintain the expression on his face. He sprung up from the couch and roared at Lucas furiously, “Do you have a f*cking death wish? Do you believe that I’ll kill you right now if you dare to call the Huttons?”

Lucas tossed his phone onto the couch and showed a wicked smile that made Roman grit his teeth. “If you really didn’t do anything, why would you be afraid of the Huttons finding out?”

“You bastard! You’re as much of an asshole as you were when you were a kid!” Roman was exasperated, but there was nothing he could do to Lucas. All he could do was kick the couch angrily and curse. “What the hell are you trying to do?”

To be honest, Roman didn’t believe that Lucas would really tell the Huttons his secret. But the feeling of the secret he had been hiding for so long suddenly being exposed made Roman, who was used to being secretive, very uncomfortable. He was momentarily confused, and he felt like he had suddenly lost a sense of security, making him very agitated.

“I just said it. I want you to replace that idiot Jace and become the future helmsman of the Huttons! Now, do you hear me clearly?” Lucas repeated what he said earlier.

“Hah, you want me to become the helmsman of the Huttons? Lucas, surely you haven’t forgotten my identity, have you? Or are you trying to take me for a fool?” Roman sneered, feeling that Lucas was spouting nonsense.

Of course he wanted to become Huttons’ helmsman, and he had also secretly done many things with this goal in mind.

But he wasn’t finished preparing yet. With his status as an illegitimate son expelled from the Huttons for years, it was obviously a tall order for him to seize the position of the Huttons’ successor and take over as helmsman in the future.

“Since I’m here to see you, I’m naturally being serious about it. I might as well tell you honestly. I know exactly how much power you have now.

“If you don’t agree to my request, I’ll have no choice but to tell the Huttons everything I know about you!”

Lucas smiled.
