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

Chapter 808 Turn into a Cemetary

Haven Manor was a top-tier villa district developed by the Stardust Corporation and one of the best in Orange County at present.

Lucas had thought about acquiring all the land around Haven Manor before, but these plots of land were not for sale previously, so he could only give up.

Unexpectedly, one of them was about to be auctioned off now.

“Yes. The Stardust Corporation must get this plot of land!” Lucas said with certainty.

The land around Haven Manor was very suitable for constructing a new villa district or other facilities.

“But Lucas, we have too many cooperation orders to screen and approve now. I don’t have time to handle this. Can you attend the auction at Emerald International?” Charlotte asked pitifully.

She wanted to go to the land auction, but there were numerous contracts piling up in her hands, so she really didn’t have the time to go.

“Okay, I’ll go then,” Lucas naturally agreed.

Charlotte handed an invitation letter to Lucas, who took it and read it. The venue was in the Emerald International Building, and the auction would begin at ten in the morning.

It was already half past nine.

Without delay, Lucas headed straight downstairs and drove toward Emerald International.

About twenty minutes later, he had already parked his black Jaguar at the entrance of Emerald International.

As soon as Lucas got out of his car, he saw two acquaintances walking out of a Porsche nearby.

They were none other than Oscar Smith and the elite bodyguard he had brought with him, Invincible Phantom Hands.

“Lucas Gray? I didn’t expect you to come too!” Oscar saw Lucas at a glance. A trace of surprise appeared on his face before it immediately darkened. “Heh, you must be here for the land by the river too.”

The land opposite Haven Manor was right by a river.

There was a river flowing through the area, so before the piece of land was officially sold, it was known as the land by the river.

Lucas frowned slightly. Based on Oscar’s behavior, Lucas thought that he was probably here for this plot of land too.

Lucas didn’t say anything yet, but Oscar said, “Hah, I’ve already sent someone to investigate. The Haven Manor by the river is the property of the Stardust Corporation, which is owned by you, right? I heard that it’s one of the top villa districts in Orange County, and the land prices there have been rising rapidly. Even the surrounding land has had great fluctuations in prices.

“If I were you, I would keep an eye on this plot of land and link them together to maximize the value of the land!

“Unfortunately, your plan is destined to fail because I’ve already set my sights on this plot of land!

“Haha, but I won’t be building villas there. Why don’t you guess what I will do with this land?”

A malicious smile appeared on Oscar’s face.

Lucas didn’t want to pay any attention to him and simply wanted to leave.

“Hey, don’t go! Forget it. I’ll be merciful and tell you!

“I’m planning to build the largest cemetery in Orange County on the land opposite Haven Manor!

“Once the cemetery is built, do you think the prices of Haven Manor will still be stable? Hahahaha!” Oscar laughed smugly.

Hearing this, Lucas suddenly stopped.

At this moment, he finally realized that Oscar was waiting for him here.

As Oscar said, if he really acquired the land by the river and turned it into a cemetery, the prices of Haven Manor would definitely plummet, and the residents who had already bought villas there would protest or demand a full refund and compensation. The Stardust Corporation would also be greatly affected.

Furthermore, most of the people who could purchase a home in such a top-tier villa district were definitely wealthy and influential. Once they expressed their displeasure and caused the matter to blow out of proportion, the consequences would be very serious.

Oscar was obviously out to destroy the Haven Manor and strike the Stardust Corporation.

Lucas finally discovered that Oscar indeed wasn’t just an arrogant idiot.

“Are you threatening me?” Lucas narrowed his eyes.

“No, no, no!” Seeing the anger on Lucas’s face, Oscar raised a finger smugly and shook it languidly. “This isn’t a threat but a teaser!

“Are you mad and upset? But it’s useless! I’m definitely taking this land!”

“Speaking of which, this land is surrounded by mountains and water, so it’s the most suitable place for building a public cemetery. Don’t you agree?” Before Lucas could say anything, Oscar continued, “I have already investigated your situation. The Stardust Corporation has a good reputation, but you’re only in charge of the branch in Orange County, and you can’t draw much cash.

“Even if you put together all your properties, you can probably gather only a couple hundred million dollars.

“But I’m different. I’ve prepared four hundred million for this auction today! How can you defeat me?

“Just wait to cry on your knees in Haven Manor! Hahaha!”

Oscar revealed his intentions and cards without hiding anything and laughing in a relaxed and smug manner.

He was certain that even if Lucas knew about it, there was nothing he could do.

Oscar had the support of the Smiths, one of the eight top families of DC, but Lucas had been abandoned by the Huttons. There was no way he could compete against the Smiths!

Looking at Oscar’s villainous face, Lucas sneered. “It seems you don’t know that much about me! After talking so big, the person crying later will be you!”

“What do you mean by that?” Oscar’s heart skipped a beat as he felt a strange hunch that made his smile fade.

“Hmph, you’ll find out in a bit!” Lucas ignored him and stepped straight into the Emerald International Building.
