Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 157
Mrs Lance is sitting in this luxurious room, she can't stop looking around. Never had she been in a place like this. Yes,this is definitely the office of the anonymous trillionaire. She holds both of her hands up and begins to pray to God, so that when the anonymous trillionaire comes, he will listen to everything she has to say. She hears a movement around the door, and she immediately stands up to her feet. She is very sure that it's the anonymous trillionaire coming in, and the moment she sees him, she is going to throw herself to the ground and start to beg for his help. The door opens by a crack, and she almost projects her body to the ground, but she immediately stops herself when she sees that it's not the world richest man, but her son, Gray. “Oh, Christ, what are you doing here?” She sighs. “What are YOU doing here?” Gray frowns at her. “This doesn't look like you have come to visit your highschool friend. Why did you lie to me? What are you even looking for in this p
Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 158
Mrs Lance feels like her dear son is telling her a joke, but he has the most serious look on his face. “Haha! How funny, Gray! You think because I am old, I am going to be able to believe everything?” She laughs. “How are you the richest man in the world? How am I supposed to believe it?” “You don't have to, mum.” Gray says. “Just know that you don't have to worry about me having a better job, because everyone in this building is on my payroll.” Her smile disappears and her heart jumps immediately. What if he is not lying?She gets closer to him, staring into his eyes, but she doesn't see an iota of lie in them. “Oh my God!” She holds her hands over her mouth. “Please, Gray, tell you that you are joking.” Gray sighs and rubs his fingers over his forehead. “It's hard to believe, I know, but if you remember how I worked hard, how I studied for multiple degrees at the same time, if you remember how much sleepless nights I have put into this, then you will know that it's not just any

Stacy finds herself shedding tears when her mother-in-law is set to leave. Even though they did not start on the right foot, they have grown very close to each other. She is wiping her tears as she helps her mother-in-law pack her clothes into her only suitcase. “Maybe we should speak to Gray again. I don't want you to leave, I want you to stay here for even a year.”“Stacy, don't be silly. Don't get me wrong, I love staying here with you, but I also love staying alone in my house.” Mrs Lance smiles sweetly at her. “But what happens to me when the time comes for me to give birth? My biological mother is dead, so who is going to hold my hand through the labour?” she wonders. Mrs Lance kisses her cheek. “Don't worry, my daughter. I have trained Gray to be the best husband, and I know that he is going to treat you well. I will come back, if I can, but no matter what, you are going to do great.” Once they are finished, Stacy insists on taking the suitcase downstairs, to where Willi

The news of the Mars reappearing spreads like wildfire, and soon, Westland is filled with talks again. Everyone made peace with the fact that the savior was dead for months, so how is he alive now?! He didn't come back to tell them that he was alive, and that he was going to save them from the enemies, Deholt, instead he seems to have become their friend! Different theories start to fly around, everyone tries to come up with rational explanations for this. “The Mars must have become corrupt. That's why he is taking side with the enemies.” “Maybe the government betrayed him. That's why he has chosen to work with Deholt.” And there are the others that think that the country of Westland is doomed. If the Mars is going to support Deholt, then Westland is going to lose this war…Stacy has been spending so much time in front of the television, her eyebrows pulled in worry. Gray notices this, so he switches off the television and sits in front of her. “Is everything okay, my love?”

When the black van comes to pick Gray from his house, he is not even fazed at all. Stacy's heart starts racing as soon as she sees those men in full black regalia standing in front of her house. They are asking for Gray, but she won't let him go. “What do you want from my husband?! Leave us alone!” She yells. “Excuse us, ma'am, we don't mean any harm. Your husband just needs to be somewhere and we will bring him back in one piece.” Stacy doesn't believe them, she brags her phone and immediately threatens to call the police on them. Gray immediately holds her hand and calms her down. “Don't worry, Stacy, I will be fine.” “No, they look like very shady people!” She shakes her head. “I will call the police immediately!” Gray smiles at her. “Don't worry yourself, okay? I am more than capable of taking care of myself. I will be back by evening.” Stacy doesn't want him to go, but since he has assured her that he is going to be fine, she has no other chance to let him go. “Please

Mister de Nicola is taken aback by this. He helplessly looks at him knowing that there is nothing he can do about this. They have to obey Gray, or else they will be kicked out of the secret society. They can't be kicked out. They might be the biggest Mafia family in the country, but this society has helped them too much for them to leave it. So, he looks at his son and nods his head a little. Mateo frowns greatly. His father must have totally gone insane to think that he will kiss this man's feet. “Did you hear what I say, Mister Mateo?” Gray chuckles. “Don't be silly, time is moving very fast, and many people would gladly take your family's place.” “Please, don't say that, Mister Lance, he is going to do exactly what he has asked.” Mister de Nicola laughs nervously. “Do what he has said, Mateo. Remember what I said about making sacrifices for the family.” He says. “What? No!” Mateo fumes. “I will not kiss those poor feet of his! How can my lips even touch his cheap leather sho

It's very funny that Gray is standing right in front of the people that just suggested that they have a manhunt for him. They are absolutely going to lose their minds if he opens his mouth and tells them the truth of who he is. They might actually pass out from the shock…This is not the right time, so he pushes it away from him and shakes his head. “Yeah, we are not going to be doing that. Our role in this society is to protect our own interest, and that means that the Mars and his grievance with the government doesn't concern us.” “What?!” The men look at each other. “Gray, Chairman Gray, you don't know what you are talking about.” Mateo shakes his head. “Do you know how beneficial this is going to be for us to get this man for the president? We are going to be rewarded with so many good contracts!” “I am trying to save your lives. If the Mars is known for one thing, it's the fact that he is the most dangerous soldier in the world. If you are coming for him, you think your secu

After the meeting, everyone starts to head back to their homes because it's almost midnight. Even though Gray is the Chairman of this secret society, he is still the least richest and doesn't have a car. Many of them drive off without offering him a ride, but Gray doesn't mind. He puts his hands into his pocket and walks down the dark street. Mateo is the only one left and he smirks when he sees Gray walking by the road. He wanted to zoom off with pride, but he suddenly changes his mind. He slows the car down and looks out of the window, at Gray. “Mister Lance, do you need a ride?” Mateo asks. Gray glances at him. “Do not worry yourself. I'm sure that I will soon come across a taxi.” “You must be dreaming, Gray.” Mateo laughs. “It's midnight and people are too scared to come to this area because this has been the hotspot for robbers. You either come into my car, or you get stabbed by thugs looking for who to rob.” Gray is not afraid of whichever thug he might see, since he c

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. Send all the files we have on the Hyena to me immediately.” “The Hyena, sir? But the man is dead.”

On the fifth of July, a day that will forever be remembered as the day that Gray Lance took over the country, but also as the day that his first child was born. “... 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. She is lying in the bed, having a deep sleep.Gray is going to forever worship the ground that his wife walks on from this day forward. The pain he saw her go through in the labor room told him that women are not mere people, but super beings with great strength.” His daughter makes

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
304
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. Stacy is one of the people that are blown away by this news. 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
