Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 130
The de Nicola parents grudgingly accepts to have dinner with Gray, who is just the anonymous trillionaire's housekeeper. But the more they talk, the more that they conclude that this is a very intelligent man that is speaking to them right now. No wonder the anonymous trillionaire was very comfortable to send him to them. “But, excuse me, Mister Lance, where did you graduate from? Was it Oxford? Yale? Havard? One of this ivy league schools?” Mister de Nicola asks. Gray only smiles. “Mister de Nicola, I went to one of the best schools in the country, but I also studied multiple majors at the same time.”“Wow, that's very impressive!” Mrs de Nicola nods. Even though they are one of the biggest Mafia families in the country, it's obvious that they value education alot. “I also went to one of the best colleges in the country and I studied psychology. A very memorable time for me.” She smiles. “How about you, Mrs Lance? Where did you school?” Stacy shifts on her chair, she hasn't

Gray lowers the gun and Mister de Nicola has never seen such a beautiful display of skills. “Son, are you trying to tell me that the army taught you how to shoot like that?” He marvels. “Why trained you? Which general were you under?” This has been a question a lot of people have asked Gray, even when he is the Mars to them. The truth is that when Gray first joined the army, he was like every other recruit there, but he came with so much determination that no one was able to teach him with the intensity that he needed. So, he would disappear into the void lands for days, just training alone by himself. In just the space of two years, all the demons he faced in the voids turned him into the fearless killing machine that he is today…“It's hard to say, Mister de Nicola. I trained under so many Generals, because they couldn't handle my intensity.” Gray says. “I am not even surprised!” Mrs de Nicola chuckles. “If I had a bodyguard like you, I wouldn't even care a bit in the world!”

Mateo feels like he passed out from that slap and just recovered now. His face is stinging with pain and there is a ringing in his right ear. He holds his hand over his face, he is sure that if he looks at his hand now, he would see blood on it. He pushes himself up and he sees that his mother is begging his father not to hit him again. His father rarely hits him. His father is a disciplinarian. He would be punished, ground, he would do anything, but rarely hit his children. What is it that he has done that made his father to angrily hit him in that manner? “You are a disgrace to the de Nicola family, do you hear me?! A big fool, that's what you are!” His father barks. “My husband, please calm down!” His mother begs. “Mateo is just a kid, you have to act calmly with him. He doesn't know everything, you know that he is still learning!” “I had one thing that I asked from this boy, one thing!” He roars. “I told him that if he was going to be with that useless girlfriend or his, t

Once in a month, Gray has to go to meet Alice in the office and sign all the documents that need his signature as the anonymous trillionaire. The businesses are doing so well and his net worth is growing at a geometric rate. Not many people know who he is, he walks in with a cleaner’s overall, and no one can even recognize him. Not even the few employees that know who he truly is…Alice is standing next to him as he signs the papers in front of her. “Two hundred million dollars.” Gray mutters as he looks at a proposal on his table. “How much is the return of investment?” “More than seventy percent increase, sir.” Alice says. “I checked it out myself, sir, and it's a very promising business opportunity.” Gray signs it immediately and when he is done, he stands up and gets ready to leave. “There is a meeting I need to attend tomorrow as your representative.” She says to him as they walk to the door. She has an excited smile on her face. “They are going to give me the highest hono

“He is not going anywhere with you!” Alice shouts. “Who do you think you are?! Coming in here and giving orders like you run the place!” The one who is standing in front, who looks like their leader, turns to her. “Miss Yashin, that's why we asked to speak to the anonymous trillionaire first.” “What the fuck do you want with my cleaner?!” She barks in their faces. “It's nothing too serious, Miss Yashin, but Mister Lance needs to come with us, right now!”One of them reaches out to grab Gray by the shoulder, but Alice tackles that one to the ground and twists his arm to the back. The others back off in fear, they didn't know that she is so skilled like this. Five of them pulls out their guns and aims it at Alice, Gray immediately raises his hands. “You said no guns,” Gray mutters. “I'm sorry, Mister Lance, but she is forcing our hand. We don't want to hurt anyone, but we need you to come with us.” The leader says. Alice is gashing her teeth in anger, but Gray frees the man from

“I know that this is a surprise to you, you are asking yourself, who are these people and why have they ask me to come to them?” Mister de Nicola asks.”Do not be afraid. You have been given the highest honour now, an admission into the secret society.” “What?!” “That ring, that signet on your left hand, do you know what it means?” Gray looks at the ring on his finger. He barely paid any attention to it. “I've had this ring for a few weeks now. What does it mean? Is the ring for something else other than adornment for my finger?” “Mister Lance, that ring belonged to your late grandfather in-law, Theodore Blanchard.” he says. “He belonged to our secret society, and because you are now with his ring, and that you are his grandson inlaw, you are now to take his place.” Gray snickers with laughter, he claps his hands and leans over with laughter. He is waiting for them to laugh too, and say that this is a prank, but they don't. Gray knows a lot of things, but he didn't know of this
Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 136
Gray looks down with a gentle smile on his face. “Is this a joke? You know that I earned this signet! I paid good money at the auction for it.” “And all of that doesn't matter now, does it? Because at the end of the day, you don't know how to use this kind of power in that thing. Mateo can do a better job and if you have any sense in your head, you will give up that ring without a fight.” But Gray already knows that's not going to happen. This society will reveal more secrets to him, and he knows that he can use that to bring down the corrupted army. He doesn't care if a spoiled brat wants the ring, he is not giving it to them. So he exhales and folds his hands. “You know what, Mister de Nicola? That's going to be a hard pass for me. I like this secret society, and I am going to give them a positive answer in two days’ time.” He says. This doesn't please Mister de Nicola at all, his face turns red and contorts with rage. “Do you know who you are talking to, son? I'm de Nicola!

Worry is not what's on Gray's mind right now. Instead he gently walks out of the room and to his office. He needs to get his laptop. He takes out his phone and gives a call to Alice Yashin. He knows that it's very late at night, but he needs something from her. Like he expected, she picks up immediately. “Hello, sir. Is everything okay? Is Stacy and the baby fine?” “Yeah, they are both sleeping. I just need you to send some files to me.” He says to her. She is quiet from uncertainty at the other end. “But, sir, you are a new father and you are not supposed to be working. Just tell me what to do, and I will handle it.” She says. She is being very generous, but he won't allow that. They have worked so hard for months to see that his mission is fulfilled, and now he is going to handle this one by himself. “Don't worry about it, Alice, I just need you to do one single thing for me.

The commander in chief of our country has just welcomed a baby girl, Amanda Marie Lance. Congratulations to the people of Westland…” Gray is sitting on the couch, as his eyes watch the almost mute television, where the report of the birth of his daughter has just been broadcasted…She is in his hands, so small and delicate, and she is the most perfect thing in the entire world. He hasn't taken his eyes off her, he is even too scared to breathe too loud. Stacy is totally exhausted, even though the birth was fortunately very short for her.

William is explaining everything to her, but she doesn't understand what is going on yet.Why should she be the one to deliver the speech, when she was just helping the anonymous trillionaire's wife? She opens her mouth with a small gap, but no words can come out. Everyone is kindly smiling at her, the way people would look at their savior…She sighs and presses her hand against her forehead. “But, I can't deliver the speech? I'm not the Mars' wife, that's not even possible.” William smiles at her. “Oh, Stacy. You have no idea how possible anything can be.” That's when it strikes her with a heavy beating of her chest. No,no,no. “Gray is the Mars?” She whispers, almost to herself. William looks so proud, he nods slowly. “But…” she stops. Gray is the Mars!! Gray is the anonymous trillionaire! She has been married to the richest man in the world the whole time, and she didn't even know that. This is big news to her, and in front of so many people. She would need like a month to

Stacy is very surprised to see her Aunt, but she is even more surprised to see her Auntie kneeling in front of her and begging for mercy. “Please, I was blinded by the devil!” She cries. “I didn't know that you were going to turn out so great. Remember that I gave you a roof over your head and fed you for years. Please have pity on your old and wrinkled auntie. The truth is that Wendy and Mateo told their family that Gray and Stacy are not ordinary people, but the richest and most powerful couple in the country. Mr and Mrs de Nicola believe it very easily because they got their house back. They were happy and satisfied, even though they didn't get everything they had before, and they made sure to stop by the Gray corporation headquarters to thank him. Mrs Blanchard did not believe it at all. “Are you trying to tell me that the disgraceful son-in-law of the family is so rich? Please, spare me that nonsense!” Wendy continued to try to get her mother to change her mind, but her moth

President Brody is dead and now, the Mars is going to take over as the president of the country by virtue of being the most competent General. No one is even opposed to this, and everyone is very happy. General Micheal retires happily, after everything, he is sure that he will now live a happy and peaceful life. Everyone is preparing for July fifth, for it's going to be the day that the Mars, who everyone now knows is General Gray Lance, will be sworn in. Hundreds of representatives of good countries come to form firm allies with the new leader of Westland, and everyone is so happy because July fifth is just a day away….There is only one person who doesn't know what exactly is going on, and that's Stacy. She read on the news that the wicked president has finally been killed by the Mars, and she is very happy because the country will know peace now. There is just one thing that she doesn't know, and that is that her husband was the one who killed the president. She didn't watch

No one, except Brody, knows that this man is the anonymous trillionaire, but as soon as they see the fear in Brody's eyes, they immediately know. Brody fired up to three shots and none of them hit this man. He drops his gun in fright and starts to back into the wall. “You are not human!” He shivers. “You are not human, you fucking bastard!” He tries to find something to shield himself because from the look in Gray's eyes, he knows that he is about to be killed. He throws a chair in Gray's direction, but when he sees that doesn't work, he grabs the almost frightened newscaster lady and uses her as a human shield. She shrieks and he immediately slaps his hand over her mouth. “Shut up! If you come any closer to me, I am going to shoot her, you hear me!” Everyone is shaken, they don't want to lose another of their colleagues. They expect that the Mars would throw away his gun and negotiate with the crazy man, but that's not what happens. Gray casually checks his gun to see if it's

Once Brody had said the single line that he had rehearsed, he expected for the professionals to take over. Yes, even though he has just barged into the place, shot a bunch of people, and traumatized the hell out of them, he expects for them to still be very professional and come up with the best questions. He sighs with anger when he sees that the newscasters are just holding on to each other like scared chickens, and trying their hardest not to make eye contact with him. “Now, listen to me, you two fools,” he picks up the gun again. “I didn't go through all that trouble for you two to be fucking dumb, so you better get your shit together, or I am going to blow your fucking brains all over the place.” The lady shuts her eyes as more tears pours out. She is sobbing, she has to press her hands over her mouth to keep the sound out. The man has to summon courage, else they are going to be dead, so he whispers to his colleague and pushes her to the side. He takes out his handkerchief
302
Brody feels like he has been caught up in a crossroad, the only man that would have been able to help him turns out to be the enemy himself. He watched the official announcement, now the whole world knows the truth about what has happened. He doesn't have anywhere else to go, he doesn't have anything to use to save himself. He still has a few tens of supporters, they are afraid to come out and say so because they fear Mars and also the judgement from their friends and families. Some of them have cut off contact with him, and this breaks his heart even more. He can't flee the country too, because he knows that he is going to be caught at the airport, or as soon as he approaches any border.Brody knows that surrendering won't work, not after the many things that he and his family did. So, what will he do now? He decides to go on live TV and say his mind. Brody is surely a master manipulator and he knows that if he plays his cards right, he will gather the gullible lots among the W

Surely, the Mars/anonymous trillionaire is a very smart man, because he has managed to keep his identity for so long, even though he has two different sides. No wonder he has been so devoted to their country! If he can turn his company into a trillion dollar one, then they can trust him with the country and they are sure that he is going to do a very good job with it.

She sits down in front of the television in her room, as she watches a newscaster compare an image of the Mars and the anonymous trillionaire. “...now if you look at both pictures very closely, you will see that they are both equal in height. Don't miss the broad shoulders, or the mighty biceps that seem to be spilling out of his shirt….” Stacy scoffs. “Is this now a thirst trap? This is a very serious matter!” Wend
