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

Chapter 851: Who’s Threatening Whom?

“Mr. Dempsey!”

Seeing Phil’s death, the Dempseys wailed in grief.

But the person who killed Phil was Jordan. Regardless of how angry they were, they wouldn’t dare to express it, let alone take revenge on Jordan, the terrifying man who defeated a powerhouse like Steel-Claws.

“How do you want to die?” Lucas calmly asked Vince, who was lying limp on the ground.

Vince was already sweating profusely, and he was completely drained of energy. All he felt was boundless fear.

But when he saw Phil die in front of him, a crazy desire to survive surged in his heart. No matter what, he didn’t want to die like Phil and turn into a cold corpse!

He gritted his teeth and suddenly shouted with a look of mania, “No, you don’t dare to kill me! You can’t kill me either!

“Don’t forget. The bride today never showed up! Let me tell you the truth. She’s in my hands now. If you dare to lay a finger on me, I’ll make her die immediately!

“If I die, I will definitely drag that woman to hell with me!”

Vince was going all out. He propped himself up and got up from the floor.

Since he already knew it was useless to plead with Lucas, he stopped kneeling and frantically threatened, “I know that woman is very important to you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come to DC, where our turf is!

“The wedding today is a trap set up for you. I reckon someone as smart as you should have guessed it long ago.

“But you still came here without hesitation. It’s enough to prove that that woman is extremely important to you and that she can’t die! In that case, I have a strong hold over you!

“If you dare to disobey me, I will immediately make sure that woman dies!”

He was already going all out now, so he couldn’t care less about revealing his coercion tactics and motives in public.

Hearing what he said, the Stones were immediately enraged.

They originally thought that although the Smiths had intervened in the marriage between the Stones and the Dempseys, it should still be considered a normal marriage alliance. After all, the Dempseys and the Stones were of equal power and status in DC, so their children were a match.

But they didn’t expect that the Smiths merely wanted to dupe Maddy into falling into their hands so that they could use her as a bargaining chip to coerce Lucas. This wedding was a trap against Lucas!

Geoffrey, the helmsman of the Stones, and Carlos, Maddy’s father, felt deeply pained and regretful.

Yesterday afternoon, if the Smiths hadn’t accompanied the Dempseys to propose the marriage in person while promising some benefits coupled with some vague threats, Geoffrey wouldn’t have agreed to Maddy marrying into the Dempseys and letting them get married so hastily.

Although he had vaguely felt that this marriage and wedding weren’t that simple, he never imagined that Maddy was just a pawn used by the Smiths.

In particular, now that the Smiths were in control of Maddy’s life and using her to threaten Lucas, it was overboard!

The Stones were furious.

The Dempseys were just as furious.

If the Smiths hadn’t used the Dempseys as pawns and forced them to fight against Lucas, how could Phil, Sylvester, and Jessey have died within such a short time?

It was all caused by the Smiths!

“Bastard, if you dare to lay a finger on Maddy, I’ll make sure you wished you were dead!”

Hearing Vince threatening Lucas with Maddy’s life, Jordan immediately lost his temper and charged forward to grab Vince by the neck.

In his anger, his grip was extremely strong, instantly causing Vince to roll his eyes and experience difficulty breathing. His face turned purplish, and he looked about to die.

Seeing this, Lucas didn’t stop him.

Vince’s threat didn’t have any effect on Lucas or make Lucas afraid of doing anything to him.

On the contrary, people like Vince, who used the life of a woman to threaten others, were precisely the kind who were the most afraid of dying.

Lucas believed that under the threat of death, he would soon be able to force Vince to reveal Maddy’s whereabouts.

Seeing Vince rolling his eyes, the Dempseys and the Stones felt overjoyed.

If not for the Smiths, how could Dempseys’ helmsman, his son, and his grandson have died?

How could the hitmen and gunmen they had painstakingly trained and the snipers they had spent a ton of money on have died here?

The huge loss and the family turmoil caused by the death of the helmsman had a massive influence on the Dempseys. It would probably be difficult to eliminate it in the next few years.

It was all caused by the Smiths!

Even if Vince died here, it would be a good death!

When the Stones saw that Vince was about to be strangled to death, they indeed had the sweet thrill of revenge. But at the same time, their hearts had a trace of anxiety.

What would happen to Maddy if Vince was really strangled to death?

The Smiths were in control of Maddy’s life!

While Vince was being strangled to the point of the veins on his forehead bulging, his eyeballs protruding, and his face turning purple, Jordan finally let go and threw Vince onto the flood.

Vince had almost suffocated to death!

Vince’s body was drenched in cold sweat, and he was lying limply on the floor, gasping heavily. At the same time, his heart was full of unprecedented fear.

Just now, he felt that he was so close to death. If Jordan had released him a few seconds later, he would be dead now.

“You… How dare you really lay a finger on me?! Aren’t you afraid… afraid that I’ll really order for that woman’s death?” Vince said in disbelief while panting heavily. He had finally survived.

“Hah, you haven’t had enough of that feeling? Do you want to experience it again?” Jordan mocked with disdain.

“I’ll give you a chance. Hand over Maddy immediately! Otherwise, I still have hundreds of ways to let you enjoy the fear of being on the verge of death until you hand her over intact!”

Jordan was like the devil whose words immediately made Vince’s face turn even paler.

He initially thought that as long as he had a hold over Lucas, he would be able to use it to threaten them into giving in.

But he didn’t expect them to completely ignore his threats and even torture him again and again in such a terrifying manner.

At the thought of the near-death experience just now, Vince was paralyzed by fear, and he even subconsciously began shuddering, not wanting to experience it again.

“Lucas… I… actually didn’t come here with the intention of fighting you to the death. I just wanted to talk to you about a deal that will be beneficial to us!” Vince said, forcing himself to keep his voice steady and suppress his fear.
