Chapter 1300: 1296 Sending Sheep into a Lion's Den

1296 Sending Sheep into a Lion’s Den

Seeing Lucas looking over with a mirthless smile, Norman was so furious that he slapped the guard who spoke. “Damn it. Teach him a lesson? Instructions, my ass! You idiot, who said we were going to deal with the Parkers?”

After giving the man’s face a hard slap, Norman immediately hollered, “Get lost right now! And take these people with you!”

Norman was honestly scared at this point.

Earlier, Rayson had brought so many people here, but Lucas had detained 150 of them for his own use. This just went to show that Lucas was short of manpower and would take anyone who came his way.

Now that he had called a lot of people here, it was akin to sending sheep into a lion’s den.

So he thought it was better to get his silly subordinates to leave the Parker residence as soon as possible!

The leading guard was still trying to claim credit from Norman, but the harsh slap and scolding left him dumbfounded.

But he wasn’t really stupid. Hearing Norman instruct him to leave with his people, he hurriedly acknowledged the order and immediately turned around to leave with the dozens of subordinates he had brought.

“Wait!” Lucas suddenly said.

An inexplicable ominous premonition surged in Norman’s heart. Is Lucas Gray really planning to detain my subordinates?

How could he let this happen? The Holmes had put in a lot of effort and energy into training these experts, and they played an extremely important role in the development of the Holmes. If Lucas really detained them, he would definitely be anguished!

At this moment, Norman empathized with Rayson.

“Uh… Mr. Gray, I definitely didn’t mean to offend you. My people took matters into their own hands and behaved presumptuously. I will bring my company’s documents to the Stardust Corporation tomorrow morning to complete the asset transfer!” Norman said in panic.

Lucas said indifferently, “Didn’t you call these people over to hand them over to me? Then, what were you planning to get them to do?”

How could Norman possibly admit that he had planned to get them to deal with Lucas? If he said this, Lucas might settle scores with him.

So he could only deny profusely, “No, no, no, how could I possibly dare to get people to deal with you? I… They…”

Norman was tongue-tied and was at a loss for words.

Lucas’s words had stifled any excuses he could make.

But he really couldn’t bear to hand over all his subordinates.

After thinking for a long time, Norman could only lower his head and admit his mistakes. “I’m sorry, Mr. Gray, it… it was my fault for what happened previously. Please spare me for offending you on account that I’ve already submitted to you!”

Damon sneered. “Norman Holmes, you’re really funny! At this age, do you still think you can solve everything with just an apology and not pay for your mistakes?

“If you and those families weren’t hostile to my family in the first place, you wouldn’t have ended up in this plight. If it weren’t for Mr. Gray’s help, I’m afraid I’d be the one to fail today. At that time, if I had merely apologized to you, would you have let my family off? How can there be such a good deal?”

Damon’s words made Norman turn as pale as a sheet.

If he was in control of the situation today, he definitely wouldn’t let Damon and his group off easily!

But he definitely couldn’t tell the truth now.

Norman said against his conscience, “After what happened today, we’re friends now. Of course I would have⁠—”

Before he could finish speaking, Lucas interrupted him. “Cut the crap. Leave all sixty people you’ve called behind. This is the price you have to pay for offending me. You can get lost now.”

This time, Lucas detained Norman’s subordinates without even sugarcoating it as ‘borrowing’, which meant that he would never return them to him.

Norman was in great pain, but he knew that since Lucas had already spoken, there was no way he could get these subordinates back from Lucas. So he could only pretend to be magnanimous and say a few pleasant words before leaving in embarrassment.

Once everyone left, the only outsider remaining was Jonah.

Jonah was slumped on the floor with limp legs, unable to get up at all.

Having witnessed everything with his own eyes, he was already utterly shocked.

Thus, when Lucas looked over at him, Jonah’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately knelt on both knees and said tremblingly, “Mr. Gray, Mr. Parker, I was indeed in the wrong! I shouldn’t have talked nonsense without knowing your identity. I shouldn’t have tried to recruit you on behalf of the Williams or added fuel to fire in front of Rayson Williams… I-I really know my mistakes! Please let me off, Mr. Gray!

“I’m also willing to surrender to you and hand over half of my family’s properties!”

Lucas glanced at him and suddenly asked, “What is your family’s net worth?”

Jonah was stunned and quickly said, “About eight billion.”

Damon chuckled and said to Lucas, “Mr. Gray, as far as I know, the Fullers’ net worth should be around ten billion.”

Lucas nodded without caring that Jonah had lied about his assets. Instead, he said, “Mr. Fuller, you should know how large the Waltons were and their approximate net worth, right? The Waltons’ net worth was around 150 billion, but I only spent 10 billion dollars to acquire everything they owned.”

He smiled. “So, Mr. Fuller, can you tell me how much I should spend to acquire everything you own?”

Jonah’s pupils suddenly constricted.

Lucas had actually bought everything the Waltons had owned for less than 10% of their value. Clearly, it wasn’t a price that the Waltons desired!

But in the end, the Waltons still gave Lucas all of their assets and left DC.

This meant that despite their reluctance, the Waltons had no choice but to sell all their assets to Lucas at an incredibly low price!

Did Lucas want to buy all his family’s assets for less than 10% of their worth too?

In other words, was Lucas planning to acquire his family’s assets worth 10 billion dollars for less than a billion dollars?!

How could this do?!

Jonah turned pale and hastily said, “Mr. Gray, I… I don’t plan to sell my family’s assets, and I never will, not to mention for a billion dollars. This is absolutely impossible!”

Lucas frowned slightly. “Who said I wanted to acquire your family’s assets for a billion dollars?”

Jonah was stunned, and the next moment, he was overjoyed.

But before he could smile, Lucas said something that banished him to hell. “I’ll give you a hundred million dollars, and you immediately leave DC with your family. Don’t ever appear in front of me again!”
