Chapter 1030: Intimidating
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Rayson initially looked furious and wanted to see who had the audacity to speak to him so rudely. But when he looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lucas standing behind the crowd, his heart skipped a beat, and he almost jumped on the spot!
Why is this menacing man here at the Stones’?!

Rayson had aggressively brought so many people to the Stone residence to settle accounts with Carlos for reneging on his promise and fooling him. He had even heard that Florence was also here. Thus, he had brought so many people over to suppress Florence and regain some pride.
But Rayson never expected that Lucas, who had forced him to kneel, was actually here!
Not only was Lucas here, but Rayson also saw Jordan standing near Lucas!
!!
The scene that had happened at Felix’s funeral immediately appeared in Rayson’s mind.
Back then, Jordan had disconnected the joints of the twenty-odd top bodyguards of the Piers in an instant, forcing them to join the Howards. This had caused the Piers to suffer a huge loss.
Under Jordan’s terrifying strength, he had had to kneel down to Lucas and admit his mistakes so that he could leave the Howard residence safely.
It could be said that Jordan and Lucas were just like devils who had greatly traumatized Rayson.

But he didn’t expect to see the two of them at the Stone residence!
At this moment, Rayson simply wanted to escape.

Even if he had brought more than thirty of the Williams’ experts, he didn’t feel safe at all with these two terrifying figures here.
But Eric didn’t know Lucas. After hearing Lucas’s rude tone, he questioned, “Who are you? How dare you speak to Mr. Williams like that?!”
Lucas glanced at him coldly. “You don’t have the right to know who I am. You just need to know that you can’t afford to provoke me.”
“You!” Eric immediately flew into a rage. He was the next helmsman of the Bransons, yet a young stranger in his twenties actually told him that. It was simply a provocation!
“Mr. Williams, look at this punk…”
Eric was about to instigate Rayson into joining him against Lucas, whom he thought was an ignorant punk. But before he could finish, he unexpectedly saw fear on Rayson’s face, making him speechless.
Rayson was actually feeling fear instead of anger!
Why? Because of this young man?
That doesn’t seem right!
Rayson was the head of the prestigious William family, so there was no need for him to be afraid of a young man in his twenties!
Could this young man… have an extraordinary ident.i.ty?
At the thought of this, Eric no longer dared to belittle Lucas or speak rashly. Instead, he sized Lucas up solemnly while trying to guess his ident.i.ty.
Lucas ignored Eric and said bluntly to the pale Rayson, “If you leave with your people right now, I’ll let this matter slide. Otherwise, you know what the consequences are.”
Rayson shuddered, clenched his jaw, and remained silent.
But everyone else present could tell that Rayson was definitely terrified of Lucas and had lots of scruples about him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have restrained his anger and not retort against Lucas’s rude words.
“Who… who is this young man? He actually dared to speak to the head of one of the eight top families so rudely. What’s even more terrifying is that Mr. William seems to be scared of him!”
“When he was faced with the Smiths previously, I had a feeling that the eight top families didn’t seem to faze him at all. How great is his ident.i.ty?”
“Who knows, But Maddy’s fiancé looks like Lucas Gray’s friend. I’m afraid he has an extraordinary ident.i.ty!”
…
The Stones discussed fervently.
It wasn’t their first time meeting Lucas. They had witnessed just how powerful he was in the DC Hotel. He wasn’t even afraid of the snipers sent by the Smiths and the Dempseys. Later on, Geoffrey even invited Lucas over for dinner.
But none of them knew what Lucas’s ident.i.ty was, only that he was extremely powerful.
At this moment, the Stones finally felt that Lucas’s power was far beyond their imagination!
Carlos felt his mouth go dry.
Since Lucas could intimidate the head of the Williams, one of the eight most powerful families in DC, how terrifying must his ident.i.ty be?
At this moment, Carlos suddenly recalled what his father, Geoffrey, had said to him before leaving the residence—he said that he would definitely regret his actions today.
Now, Carlos was really regretting it!
If he had known that Maddy was the G.o.ddaughter of Florence, the head of the Howards, and that Lucas’s ident.i.ty was so terrifying that Rayson was afraid of him, he wouldn’t have kicked Maddy out of the family and forced her to marry Cody in exchange for the Williams’ help!
At this moment, Carlos was full of regret!

Rayson looked at Lucas’s eyes. Finally, he still chickened out and said, “Mr. Gray, I-I definitely didn’t come today to go against you. But the Stones… they actually dared to fool my family. That’s why I brought some people here to ask for an explanation.”
Compared to when he yelled at Florence earlier, his att.i.tude now was drastically different!
The moment everyone heard what Rayson said and his tone, they were stunned!
Is it really the Williams’ helmsman speaking so humbly?
If they hadn’t seen and heard it with their own eyes and ears, they wouldn’t have believed it!
Carlos’s heart was pounding violently. Rayson actually used the Stones as a s.h.i.+eld to prove that he wasn’t deliberately targeting Lucas and the Howards.
What should he do now?
Carlos knew very well that Lucas and the Stones didn’t actually have any friendly ties. Lucas was just friends with Maddy, and he had helped the Stones before for her sake.
But now that Maddy had been kicked out of the family, would Lucas still be willing to help the Stones?
But at this point, he couldn’t worry about so much. Carlos gritted his teeth and said in a thick-skinned manner, “Mr. Williams, what happened previously was all a misunderstanding. Please let my family off on account that my daughter is friends with Mr. Gray!”
He especially emphasized the friends.h.i.+p between Lucas and Maddy, for fear that Rayson wouldn’t understand what he meant.
