Gray Lance: Useless Son-in-law Is The Billionaire General 284
“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

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

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

The scream is deafening as the children gather around their mother, crying and begging her to wake up. They are trying their hardest, but it's a wound to the head, and there is no way that she survived something as lethal as that. Besides, Gray has never missed a shot in his life. Gray watches the children cry over their mother's corpse, then he clicks his teeth. “You know, my wife is a few weeks away from giving birth, and I would give everything to protect her and my unborn child. It's a bit ironic that I have just taken your mother's life…” “Why?!” Freddy wails with mucus and tears running down his face. “She was the kindest mother to have ever lived and you have taken her away from her.” “Trust me, it's not enough to pay for all the young mothers that your father separated from their kids. Some of them were still sucking on their mother's breasts.” The kids are weeping. Gray is telling the truth, but they are too deep in their grief to hear him. He doesn't expect them to un

. Wendy sits in the corner, she has been staring at the same picture for almost an hour.She uses her laptop to compare pictures of Gray and pictures of the Mars and the anonymous trillionaire. It's the same body frame, the hands look exactly the same, and even though the hair and face of the Mars and the anonymous trillionaire are not exposed, she finds them to be the exact same. Same small freckle on his left hand, she remembers seeing that all the time when they were married. She used to tell him that it looked like he played in the sun too much. It has always been her ex husband, but she has been too caught up in her own shit to realize that. Now, she regrets it. Because he had the opportunity to harshly punish her for everything she did to him and Stacy, but he never did that. Tears fill her eyes, and she sees Mateo sigh from where he is seated and just watching her. “I'm sorry, I should have realized that you were telling the truth sooner.” She wipes her tears. “Yeah, it

That slap caught Gray off guard, he has never considered her to be a violent person. He touches his face with his two fingers, and then he looks up at her. Her left lip is angrily folded in her lips, and her chest is heaving up and down. “That's for staying away for so long and for getting yourself into danger! How dare you play with death so carelessly like that?!” She blasts him. Gray blinks with surprise. She has been a very patient and never complaining wife, but this is the first time that she has shown so much displeasure with him. He is not even thinking about the slap, he deserves it because he had allowed himself to be caught up with saving the country, that he forgot to prioritize time with his pregnant wife. He sighs as he takes a few steps forward, wraps his hands around her neck and kisses her. At that moment all the anger in her goes away. She is happy that she got to yell at him first before he kissed her, because she is sure that she would have forgiven him

This comes as a great shock to everyone, but the news is interrupted when someone goes to the newscaster and whispers a few things to her. The woman heaves and shuffles the papers in her hands. Her eyes are heavy with unsaid words and some heavy emotions. “Ladies and gentlemen, I know that I have just announced the death of the first lady, but I'm afraid that is the least of the shocking news that we have heard today.” She says. “Yes, people of Westland, the first lady is not just dead, but their three children have also gone missing.” Her co-host says. “The national security administration has intensified the search for the three kids within the last hours, but she has not been found at all. It seems that all like their sister Melody, the entire of the Brody children has gone missing.” “This is a tough time for the president and for the nation.
