Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 271
All the noise immediately died down and everyone lowers their eyes in respect for the greatest man that has ever lived. Mateo and Wendy are in awe of him, they have never gotten so close to the anonymous trillionaire, and they are blown away by the divine aura that is around him. Mateo drops the gun in reflex, he falls to his knees, he doesn't even know when they just give way. For the first time in her life, Wendy is shaken by the presence of another man. He is indeed so great. “Who are these people that have come to disturb my peace?! Miss Yashin, am I not supposed to be in my hotel room by now?!” He barks so heavily that everyone and everything shakes. “I apologize, sir.” Alice keeps her eyes down. “I was just going to confirm if the cars are ready, when these people burst in and demand to see you.” Mateo takes this as his god given cue to speak, so he gives life to his legs and stands up to his feet. He takes a step forward and clutches his fisted left hand over his chest.
Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 272
No one was expecting Wendy to suggest such a thing, but Wendy is not to be underestimated. Even Mateo wasn't expecting this, but Stacy is a pawn that he is ready to sacrifice to win in this game of chess. The anonymous trillionaire is quiet at first. Then he takes a few steps closer and looks Wendy in the eyes. “Correct me if I am wrong, Miss Wendy. The lady in question is supposed to be your cousin?” He asks. Stacy scoffs. “Because she is my cousin doesn't mean that I shouldn't speak up in the face of injustice. Stacy and her husband have been stealing from you, sir. They have turned your beautiful mansion into their personal property, and they have turned it into a party house.” Mateo knows that this is wrong, he tries to nudge Wendy to turn it down a little, but she is too caught up in her lies…“Mrs de Nicola, I suggest that you put an end to your godless lies, immediately!” Alice snarls. She is absolutely disgusted by what she is hearing. Wendy looks at Alice with her nose

Immediately everyone sees how fear stricken they look once they see that it's Gray, everyone starts to laugh. Alice pulls her hands from behind her, to show that she was never restrained in the first place. She joins the rest of them to laugh. Mateo and Wendy are shaken to their core, they don't fully understand what is happening. They jump up to their feet and start to look angrily into the faces of those mocking them. “What kind of sick joke is this?!” Mateo blasts them. “You think it's funny to deceive us?! How dare you pretend to be your boss?! We are going to report this to him!” Mateo barks like a mad dog. Even Wendy is so mad that she wasted her time with all of this. “That's very funny, Mister Mateo, and Wendy. You both ought to be actors because you did so well.” “This is madness, we are out of here!” Mateo aggressively waves them off, grabs Wendy's hand, and starts to pull her towards the door. But before they can go, some of the guards stand in front of them, stop

“Haha! More jokes from you people!” Wendy can't hold her laughter! This is the biggest prank of the century, and she is not willing to convince herself otherwise. Mateo is not laughing, he feels himself sweating so much, even when there are air conditions in the room. He keeps staring at Mateo, looking deep into his eyes, and his fears are getting confirmed. Those eyes were the same ones that he saw that day, when the Mars held him captive with the president and the generals. Those cold eyes that were angry at all the unjust happening in the world, those eyes were hungry for justice… yeah. Those are the same eyes staring back at him. How did Mateo miss this? Gray was fearless, Gray shot guns with the precision of an ancient assassin archer, Gray had the audacity of a thousand men, so HOW did he even miss this?! “Oh, God, Mateo breathes as he stands up to his feet. “This is a bad dream! This is a bad dream!” He is doomed. He is going to be killed because of so many times that h

Mateo feels his heart crash in his chest. “But, sir, I can't kill your wife.” Mateo breathes heavily with sadness. “How can I kill her? The moment I walk towards her with bad intent, you are going to kill me!” “Exactly.” Gray nods. “So, is it a sacrifice that you are willing to make?” “Please, sir, I can't do it. It's only going to result in my death, and I will never get to see Wendy again. She might be a terrible person, but she is still my wife and I love her.”Gray doesn't show him any pity, instead he laughs. “You think that this is a joke? How are you not doing as I have asked you?!” Mateo is shaking like a fish out of water. “Please, sir, please don't force me to do this. It's true that I have been a very bad person to you and your dear wife, but spare my life and that of my wife. My parents are old and willing to survive if anything happens to me. I am struggling to give them back what my cousin stole from them, I'm their only hope, don't allow them to die from the pain of

Stacy has one of the best sleeps of her life that she doesn't wake up till noon. When she wakes up, she yawns and stretches so hard before even opening her eyes. She sits up and only then does she open her eyelids and she jerks because she sees Mateo de Nicola on his knees, scrubbing her bedroom floor. She screams and throws a pillow at him. This has got to be a fever dream, there is no way that what she is seeing is real. THE Mateo de Nicola is not cleaning her house!!“Ouch!” Mateo shields his head.Stacy blinks with fear. It's indeed him, and she hit him with a pillow. “Oh my God, Mateo, I'm sorry that I hit you with that pillow.” Stacy stands up. Mateo stands up to his feet, and he takes the pillow, which he drops on the bed. “It's alright, I'm the one who was wrong. I should have waited for you to get up before cleaning your room.” Okay, this is not a dream, but that doesn't make this any less crazy. She holds her hands over her head, because she seems to be getting crazy

Mateo looks up at her, and he chuckles. “Oh, Mrs Lance! Your breakfast is going to be ready soon! You can watch some television while I finish up here!” Stacy walks up to him as slowly as she can. When she gets close enough, she slowly lowers the heat of the cooker. “I'm sorry, Mateo, but I think that you are in the wrong house.” She says. “Now, I don't know what kind of game this is, but I don't want to believe that you are in my house, cooking for me like you are a servant or something.” “But that's what I am, Mrs Lance. I am the latest servant in this house.” he says with pride. “I'm sorry, what?” She laughs. “Does Gray know this? Is he in on this prank?” She is laughing, but Mateo is not. He can't understand why it's too hard for her to believe that he is now a servant. “Mrs Lance, you don't need to be disturbed by this. See, the anonymous trillionaire heard that I didn't have any job to support myself, so he asked me to come and become a servant in this house. So, it's par
Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 278
Mateo is not happy to see that the president is trying to call him right now, he doesn't like that at all. Since the anonymous trillionaire has given him a second chance, and an opportunity to free Wendy and also give his family a second chance, he doesn't want anything to do with the president. If he ever goes against Gray, he knows that he won't be forgiven again. So, he breathes heavily and looks around, to make sure that Stacy is not close enough to hear him. Then he picks up the call. “Hello, Mr. President?” “Where are you now? I want you to turn on your television right now!” Mateo rolls his eyes. “I'm very busy now, I don't think I can do that.” “Don't say that to me, Mister de Nicola! Turn on the television right now.” Mateo curses under his breath, but he walks to the television and turns it on. Just like he expected, news was being reported about the president. “Ladies and gentlemen, the anonymous trillionaire just made known his stance on the war between Mars and t

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
303
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

The anonymous trillionaire is Mars?! The journalists have a field day with this one, and it's the only thing that they are talking about! 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
