The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 956

Chapter 956: Escape Quickly

The powerful and unparalleled killing intent shocked the Howards, so much so that they didn’t even dare to utter a single word.

As the current head of the family, Florence had no choice but to endure her fear and step forward.

Looking at the scar-faced man, she tried her best to remain calm and said, “Sir, there’s a huge misunderstanding here. Please calm down and let me explain it to you carefully.”

The scar-faced man looked at Florence and said disdainfully, “You’re just a woman. You’re not qualified to talk with me! Get your family’s helmsman out here immediately!”

He obviously treated Florence as a junior of the Howards, and there was great displeasure on his face.

“I am the current helmsman of the Howards, Florence Howard. My father already handed his position over to me last night.”

Florence grasped her fingers to encourage herself before asking politely, “How may I address you, this gentleman from the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation?”

After hearing what Florence said, the scar-faced man was a little surprised. He finally looked at Florence before smirking and saying with contempt, “Hah, I can’t believe that the esteemed Howard family has declined to the point of letting a woman become the family head. You people are really getting worse and worse!

“Since you’ve asked, you’d better remember my name. I am Damien Zander, the chief of the US headquarters of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation!”

Boom!

As soon as Damien revealed his ident.i.ty, the Howards’ expressions greatly changed!

Damien’s name wasn’t unfamiliar to the scions of wealthy families who had been living in DC since they were children.

On the contrary, his name was like thunder in their ears and made them terrified.

Damien was the top powerhouse of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation in the US, whose status was second only to the chief of the global headquarters. He was the head of the dozens of US branches!

He had an even more prestigious and honorable position than the eight top families of DC!

Yet this terrifying big shot had come to the Howard residence in person!

In the past, the Howards would probably all be overjoyed and honored.

But now, Damien was actually here to denounce the Howards, making them plunge into desperation!

Even the chief of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation’s US headquarters had come. Clearly, the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation attached great importance to Hades’ death, so the Howards would absolutely die today!

Florence’s face paled as despair appeared in her eyes.

But since she was the head of the family, she should do her duty.

Florence gritted her teeth and said solemnly, “Mr. Damien, I’m very sorry about Mr. Hades’s death, but please believe me. The Howards definitely didn’t mean to kill Mr. Hades, and we have absolutely no intention of becoming enemies of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation. Please be magnanimous and let us off!

“Of course, it’s an indisputable fact that a powerhouse of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation died in the Howard residence. We have nothing to argue about this, but we will do our best to make it up to Hades’s family and compensate for the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation’s loss!

“I will fulfill all your commands as long as it’s within my abilities to do so!”

No matter what, Hades had indeed died in the Howard residence, and he had even been shot to death by their sniper. If the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation wanted them to take responsibility, the Howards were willing to bear it!

But the dead couldn’t be revived after all. All Florence could do was to provide as much financial compensation as possible in hopes that the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation would let the rest of the Howards off.

Damien obviously wasn’t interested in this.

“Compensation? You killed one of the top experts of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, yet you can casually mention compensation?” Damien sneered as if he had heard a huge joke. “Do you know how much effort and money the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation spent to discover and train a top powerhouse like Hades?

“How do you want to compensate for it? It won’t be enough even if you give up your entire family!

“All of you must die today. I will use your lives to compensate for the life of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation’s expert!”

Damien spoke expressionlessly and sentenced all the Howards to death.

The Howards immediately turned as pale as a sheet. Some of the timid ones even slumped onto the ground.

“Mr. Damien, please…” Florence’s face was pale too. She wanted to plead for mercy and beg him to spare the Howards.

“Shut up! I don’t want to hear any more nonsense!” Damien interrupted. Then he turned to look at the people present and said with a gloomy expression, “Who is Lucas Gray? Get out!”

Everyone was stunned and then subconsciously turned to look at Lucas.

Damien personally asked Lucas to come out. Indeed, he was here to deal with him.

Florence’s heart skipped a beat. No, I can’t let Damien capture Lucas!

Florence gritted her teeth and knelt in front of Damien. “Mr. Damien, this is really just a misunderstanding. Please let the Howards off. I beg you!”

Her only hope now was that Damien would let the Howards and Lucas off. She was willing to do anything for it!

Most of her life had been going from one mess to another, and she had even neglected her daughter because of her hatred, leaving her to live without motherly love for years.

When Hades seized her throat and almost killed her, Florence finally realized that mistreating her daughter was her greatest regret.

Lucas was her daughter’s husband, so no matter what, Florence didn’t want him to die because she didn’t want her daughter to feel the same misery of losing her beloved.

If Damien had to kill Lucas, she was willing to make up for it with her life!

“Florence!”

Seeing Florence kneeling in front of Damien to beg him, the Howards felt extremely upset.

The powerhouses of the Howards and the men in black who worked for Florence all stepped forward one after another to confront the people of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation.

Although their martial arts skills were inferior to these top powerhouses of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, they wouldn’t surrender without a fight at such a critical juncture.

Florence turned her head and shouted at the Howards’ experts, “All of you… stand down! Don’t do anything!”

Under her orders, the Howards’ experts could only retreat unwillingly.

A playful smile appeared on Damien’s lips, but this wouldn’t make him change his mind. “I’ve already said that all the Howards must die today! And that young man named Lucas Gray must die too!”

There was immense killing intent in Damien’s eyes.

An intense look of despair instantly appeared in Florence’s eyes.

But then she suddenly did something that shocked everyone!

Florence leaped toward Damien’s feet, hugged his calf, and turned around to face Lucas. “Lucas, quickly escape!”
