Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 135
“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!

General Landon Hayes was unsure of the address when he stepped out of the taxi, but now that he is standing in front of the house and a man pointing a gun at him? He takes a fighting stance and draws his own gun and aims it at William. “Who are you?” Landon asks him. “You don't get to ask me any question, man. Walk away before I blow your brains all over the floor!” “Hey, I don't want any trouble. I'm here to see Gray Lance and if this is the wrong house, I am going to leave.” Hearing him saying that he has come to see Gray makes William to cock his gun and curse under his breath. “What do you want from Mister Lance?” William yells. “Speak now before I kill you, motherfucker!” The commotion causes Stacy and Gray to rush to the door.

The army was where Gray turned into the killer machine that he is but it also gave him his best friend, Landon Hayes. They met on their first day in the army and even argued on the line. They were bunked in the same room, and reluctantly, they became friends. They were under different Generals, but were excellent soldiers in their own ways. They were the only ones who could match each other's energy in combat. Even when Gray became a very powerful member of the army and took up the secret identity of the Mars, Landon was one of the people who knew who he was. Sadly, Landon has to leave back to Deholt, but they keep in touch with each other now. Landon is a good General, but he lacks when it comes to war and to training soldiers…Gray closes the door after Landon and then both of them sit down in his office. “You got divorced?” Landon is in awe. “She said I was too poor for her liking,” Gray shrugs. Landon laughs. “That's a joke, right? You didn't tell her that you're literall

As soon as Stacy hears that Gray is going to be leaving the country again, she immediately bursts out and bends over crying. Gray is stunned by this, he has never seen his wife cry like a little girl like this. He picks her up from the ground and cradles her in his hands. “Please don't cry, Stacy, I wouldn't have done it if it's not necessary.” He says. “I know, I know,” she wipes her tears. “It's fine, don't mind my tears. I just don't want to be alone. I will be lonely and cry myself to sleep at night.” “I know, Stacy, it hurts me to leave you, but I will return almost immediately. It's only going to be for a few days, I promise.” He says. She nods her head, trying her hardest to smile and pretend that everything is fine, but even she doesn't understand why she won't stop crying. She has no idea that it's just her hormones that are all over the place. She is sad that her husband is going to be away, but her pregnancy hormones make her exaggerate everything. She doesn't know

“I heard that he was fired from the military. So, who does he work for now that owns this huge house?” She asks. “The anonymous trillionaire, ma'am.” Stacy answers respectfully. Mrs Lance's jaw immediately drops to the ground. “Excuse me?! You are trying to tell me that my son works for the richest man in the world?!” “Yes, ma'am.” Stacy smiles. “And the anonymous trillionaire has been nothing but good to us. He allowed us to live in his house and also gave us his stuff to use…” “What work does Gray do?!” She cuts her off. Stacy's smile leaves her face once again. Oh, she wishes that Gray waited, so he could have spoken to his mother about all of this…“Mrs Lance, it's a little complicated…” “It's actually not, Stacy. What work does your husband do for the anonymous trillionaire? He manages his finances? Or is he his personal bodyguard?” “He is the anonymous trillionaire's errand boy.” Stacy reluctantly lets out the words roll out of her mouth. Mrs Lance's breath gets cut in h

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.

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.

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.
