Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 283
Wendy is still ignorant, and this makes Mateo want to hit his head against the wall. She is so ignorant. Sometimes it's cute, but it's not today. He pulls her arm, and takes her to the corner, so that he can talk some sense into her head. “Listen to me, you have got to stop acting like you have no sense in your head.” He whispers harshly to her. “What are you talking about, Mateo? We are going to be fine. Look, everything that he claimed to have taken away, it's right here! Like I said, Gray is just a liar and he is not who he said he is! If anything, we should find the real anonymous trillionaire…” “What is hard to understand? Gray IS the anonymous trillionaire! I actually thought that he would have killed you, after all, we deserve it for everything that we have done to them, but you are here.” He angrily tells her. She stares at him, her eyes holding disbelief. “Come on, it's a joke that is getting old at this point.” She mutters. “You know what would have been an even wors

“Find my daughter!” The president slaps the soldier in the face. “It has been months now, and I will not accept that my daughter has disappeared into the thin air.” The soldier takes a step back and rubs his cheek. He can't believe that the rude president has just slapped him. He is not a young man, he is a sixty five year old man that served in the military for a long time. He was forced to come out of retirement and become the head of the military because of a favour he owes to the president from years ago. He had to be the one to do it because everyone was scared of the Mars, and didn't want to die like the other Generals. Now, General Micheal doesn't want to do this, but he doesn't have a choice, and he is being very mistreated by the president. He didn't know how corrupt the president had been, until he starts to order him to kill some people and do some other questionable things. Now he wants him to find his daughter, but General Micheal has done everything possible, but

General Micheal tiredly takes off his cap and steps out of the car. Because of his old eyesight, he didn't recognize Gray right away, but as soon as he did, his eyes lights up. “By God, is this not Gray Lance, the young soldier I was training years ago?” Gray smiles, and then gives the General a very deep bow. Although they worked together for a very short time, Gray has so much respect for the man. He was resilient and upright, he was a good teacher to Gray. It was a shame that they worked together for only a month before he retired. The General is so happy that he pulls Gray into a hug. “My good boy, how have you been? I can't believe that it has been five years since I last saw you!” “I can't believe it too, sir.” Gray says. “What are you doing in a uniform, sir? With due respect, you as supposed to be retired and not being in a dangerous position when the county is in so much chaos.” The General sighs. “It's a long story, my boy, we hardly have a choice over things in this

“Please, Mister Dunkin, I am an old man and my heart cannot take a joke as hard as this.” General Micheal begs. The lawyer is so happy for the old General that he laughs. “Keep your mind at peace, Micheal. You are now a free man and can retire happily with your wife, sir! Whoever has cleared this huge debt of yours is an angel from heaven!” General Michael knows who this Angel is, in fact the Angel is right in front of him. This ex soldier that he hasn't seen in the last five years. He immediately ends the call and looks at Gray with so much gratitude. “Mister Lance, I would have fallen to my knees and thank you for what you have done for me, but I have had knee replacement surgery only a little while ago. Please, know that I am very grateful for what you have done for me. I will no longer be a slave to president Brody, but I will willingly be a slave to you…” He bows very deeply, but Gray moves him to stand back straight immediately. “Please, sir, don't say anything like that

Suddenly, the expensive food turns to the taste of sand in his mouth, and he can't even swallow anymore. The man standing in front of him is the Mars?! And not just that, he is also the anonymous trillionaire?! It's not a hard thing for General Micheal to believe, he looks at Gray and it's like a curtain has been pulled away from his eyes. It's not hard at all for him to believe that this man is the one, he strongly accepts that the Mars is Gray Lance. He immediately leaves the food that he has been eating with so much dedication, and he falls on his knees and bows very deeply. He doesn't mind his weak knees anymore, he knows that he is standing in front of the most important man in the world. “I have seen your face, sir, I am not sure that I am deserving of life anymore.” The General says, with tears dropping from his eyes. “Who am I? That I will get to stand in the presence of the man that is so powerful that we all thought he was two different people?” “General, sir, I have

The whole country of Westland is in shambles, everyone is officially withdrawing from the army because they don't want to get on the wrath of the Mars, and this makes the president just even more angry. He travels out of the country, going to five countries in three days because he is looking for anyone willing to support him against the Mars. “We are sorry, Mister Brody, but we are not going to help you against the Mars, because that would be great foolishness on our part. We suggest that you resign honourably, because we have officially ruled you out as a president of Westland!” President Brody hates them so much and he doesn't even hesitate to snarl in their faces and show his displeasure! “This is what you are going to do to me, huh?! After I helped you people when you needed help the most?! Don't worry, this is just a temporary setback, and I will deal with you once I defeat that lunatic!” He goes back to his country, but he keeps it a secret and changes location secretly
Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 289
The president immediately turns white. “You son of the devil! How did you even know my location? Are you playing games with me?!” The Mars only laughs at the other end of the phone. “When I see you face to face again, I dare you to call me that again.” The President immediately jumps up to his feet. “This broadcast has been compromised. End it now!” Everyone goes around, until the plug is pulled and everything comes to a sudden end. “Damnit!” The president yells as he throws some equipment against the wall. “Someone snitched on me! Someone leaked my location out to the Mars! And now I have to leave before he comes!” Everyone immediately turns white with fear, they know that they did not leak out the location of the president, but none of them is brave enough to speak to defend themselves. General Micheal is the one who steps forward to defend them, they are young people, and he can't allow the president to pour his anger on them. “Please, sir, I don't think that anyone betrayed

The Brody family is surprised that the man their father paid to protect them is pointing a gun at them. The little teenage girl, the youngest of them all, throws her hands up and welps. Her twin brother, slightly taller, does the same too, and then Freddy and the mother mirror them. “Have you gone mad, old man? Have you forgotten who our father is? He is definitely going to have your head for even daring to point a gun in our faces!” Freddy barks. “Did Daddy not tell him that I don't like guns to be pointed in my face!” The girl yells. “Does this man have a death wish or something?” General Micheal is not moved by their crazy talks, he firmly keeps the gun pointed. They have been told for so long that they are indomitable, that their father is the greatest man on earth, and they have been behaving like that. “Shut up, children of the devil!” The General doesn't even know when he screams at them. They are jolted, as if brought back to reality. “Get into the car, all of you!” 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. 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.

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!

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.

Please, spare me that nonsense!” Wendy continued to try to get her mother to change her mind, but her moth

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

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.
