Chapter 1302: 1298 Bringing Under Command

1298 Bringing Under Command

Seeing the expression on Lucas’s face, Damon added softly, “Of course, I’m just making a suggestion. It’s entirely up to you if you want to keep Jonah Fuller around!”

He thought that Jonah did have some talent in business. If Lucas brought him under his command, Jonah might be of some help to him. But Damon knew that he couldn’t interfere with Lucas’s decision to take Jonah in or not.

Because Damon had whispered into Lucas’s ear, no one else knew what he said.

Jonah looked at Lucas expectantly.

Now, his mindset was completely different.

Although Jonah resented and feared Lucas previously, he was now full of expectations for him. He wished that Lucas would accept him and bring him under his command.

Bruce and Edmund stood still without saying anything. They had just arrived in DC and didn’t know much about the forces and families here. Thus, they couldn’t give Lucas any suggestions and could only let him decide.

Lucas looked at Jonah and suddenly asked, “Since you want to work for me, how can I trust that you won’t betray me in the future?”

Lucas rarely took in subordinates, and even when he did, it had to be people he trusted. For example, Damon, Bruce, Edmund, etc. had experienced many incidents and tests before Lucas felt that they were trustworthy and agreed to keep them by his side. From time to time, he would also give them opportunities to expand their families.

But Jonah was different.

About ten minutes ago, Jonah was full of hostility toward Lucas. Yet now, he was taking the initiative to pledge allegiance to Lucas. According to Lucas’s previous practice, he absolutely wouldn’t accept someone like him as his subordinate.

But Jonah really did have some skills, and his perception wasn’t bad either. After realizing Lucas’s true identity, he instantly changed drastically and even wanted to stay by Lucas’s side at all costs. As such, Jonah could be considered a smart person.

Jonah knew that his earlier behavior was rather distasteful. Besides, he had just met Lucas, so it was indeed difficult to make Lucas believe that he wouldn’t betray him in the future.

Even if he swore that he wouldn’t betray Lucas, it still wouldn’t be convincing enough.

After thinking about it, Jonah said, “This is truly hard to prove. But I believe that given how powerful you are, even if I betray you, you’ll be able to resolve it easily.

“Regardless of whether I betray you or not, betrayal is simply a non-issue to you, isn’t it?”

Jonah’s answer stunned everyone.

After hearing his answer, Lucas had a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Indeed, even if Jonah betrayed him in the future, with Lucas’s power and abilities, it would be a piece of cake for him to deal with Jonah.

Besides, Lucas believed that after Jonah spent some time with him and understood a bit of his true power, he wouldn’t be so stupid as to think of betraying him.

He had indeed been thinking too much.

“In that case, I’ll give you a chance to follow me as you wish,” Lucas said nonchalantly.

Jonah was overjoyed and exclaimed, “Yes! Thank you so much for this chance, Mr. Gray. I’ll definitely do my best to be as useful as I can. I’ll do anything for you!”

Lucas said, “Don’t be so eager to thank me yet. There are still some things I have to make clear to you. One, I don’t keep loafers around me. If you can’t show me satisfactory competency, I won’t keep a good-for-nothing around. Two, I absolutely loathe betrayal, so if I find out that you’ve dared to betray me, I won’t spare you easily! Do you understand?”

At this moment, the two bodyguards holding Jonah down released him under Damon’s signal.

As soon as Joanh regained freedom, he knelt and said respectfully. “Mr. Gray, don’t worry! I certainly won’t let you down! If you think I’m incompetent or disloyal, you won’t need to say anything. I’ll get rid of myself so that you won’t be put in a spot!”

Lucas stared at Jonah for a long time and could tell that he meant what he said from the bottom of his heart and that it just wasn’t rhetoric. He nodded and said, “In that case, you are now my subordinate, and I won’t interfere too much. You will still manage the Fullers’ assets. Just remember what you’ve said today.”

Hearing this, Jonah was overjoyed and unable to believe his ears.

He didn’t expect that after he surrendered to Lucas and offered his family’s assets, Lucas didn’t want anything and let him keep them.

To Jonah, this was a godsend opportunity, and he felt extremely grateful to Lucas!

“Mr. Gray, I’ll always remember your great kindness. I definitely won’t disappoint you! Otherwise, I’ll be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!”

In his excitement, he even swore an oath.

Lucas smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Damon stepped forward and pulled Jonah up from the floor. “Mr. Fuller, congratulations. From today onward, we’ll be friends in the same camp!”

Jonah got up from the floor with Damon’s help and said with a look of shame and guilt, “Mr. Parker, I really have no words. I solemnly apologize for the disrespect I’ve shown to you and the Parkers. Thank you for not holding it against me.”

Damon patted Jonah on the shoulder and laughed. “Haha, the matter has already passed, so there’s no need to mention it again. From now on, we’ll be comrades, so you don’t have to be polite!”

Bruce and Edmund walked over with smiles. “Mr. Fuller, we’ll be a family from now on. Let bygones be bygones!”

Jonah still didn’t know Bruce’s and Edmund’s identities, but he had seen the two of them sitting with Damon and Lucas, so he could guess that they were close to Lucas. He just didn’t know how he should address them.

Acting as an intermediary, Damon introduced, “You still don’t know who they are, right? Let me introduce them. This is Mr. Bruce Hale, the former helmsman of the Hale family, and the gentleman next to him is Mr. Edmund Cole, the helmsman of the Cole family.”

With his head held high, he said confidently, “Now, the Hales and the Coles have just arrived in DC, but in no time, they will definitely rise up and become formidable families here like the Parkers!”
