Chapter 15 The First Gift For The Gray Family

“What?” Everyone could not help but gasp. In fact, they were surprised that such a big project still needed funding. Little did they find out that it was a scam. “Scammers! Shame on you. Get out of here now!” “Yeah, how dare you deceive us? Luckily Mr. Gray came. Otherwise, these few old folks would be cheated!” “Who do you think you are? Do you think the Infernal Group will work with you?” All of a sudden, heated arguments filled the hall. The rich men were shocked and quickly left. Although they were wealthy, they did not want to be deceived for no reason. “Tom! What’re you doing? Do you have a death wish?” Lucian glared. “Well, well… Are you worried now?” Tom sneered. “You’re no longer a member of the Gray family. How dare you look for funding using our name? Shame on you. And you, bit*ch…. How dare you assist him? Damn… Don’t ever dream to get any funding with me around although you got the project.” “Do you think you can stop me?” Lucian scowled. “Let’s wait and see…” Tom did not take Lucian seriously at all. He said, “Our company is going to be listed soon with the support of the Lowe and the White families from Sioux. We’re a prominent and influential family in Vandergrift. Who will dare to invest in your project if I don’t allow it?” Hearing that, Freya’s face darkened. The deadline of the project was approaching and the Gray family was messing everything up. However, what Tom said was true. The Gray family was soon to be listed. They were powerful and had a great influence in Vandergrift. Who would not listen to them? Lucian ignored Tom and turned to Freya. “Don’t worry, Fay. I will take care of everything. Trust me. I can get ten million for the project soon. Not even the Gray family can stop me.” “But the Gray family is too powerful…” Freya said. She was worried. Lucian got the Infernal Group’s project because of the Gray family. Without the support of the Gray family, it was very difficult for Lucian to get funding since he had just been discharged from the army not long ago. “Haha. Lucian, what did you just say just now?” Tom sneered, “Not even the Gray family can stop you? You’re too full of yourself. I’d like to see who dares to invest in your project with my presence.” “Me!” Right then, a burly figure appeared at the door. He was dressed in a black windbreaker with short crew-cut hair. He came in with a dozen of his men. Immediately, he caught the attention of the crowd. Prince Ezekiel! It’s Prince Ezekiel! Everyone could not help but gasp when they saw Prince Ezekiel. No one expected he would show up as he was the most powerful man in Sioux North who owned many illegal businesses. “Mr. Gray, can I invest?” Prince Ezekiel asked as he came up to Tom. “Prince Ezekiel, are you serious?” Tom’s face darkened. He did not dare to offend Prince Ezekiel because of his power. “My father sent me here to stop Lucian. You’re an influential man in Sioux North. I hope you can respect my father.” “Your father?” Prince Ezekiel sniggered. “Even your grandfather doesn’t deserve my respect, let alone your father? I’m going to invest ten million in Freya’s project now. What can you do about it?” “Prince Ezekiel, are you sure you want to do this just because of Lucian and Freya?” Tom scowled. Slap! Before Tom could finish his words, Prince Ezekiel slapped him. Instantly, Tom’s face swelled up. He could not help touching his face. He did not expect Prince Ezekiel would slap him like that in public. “Not only will I do what I want to do, but I also want to teach you a lesson.” “Damn… Just wait and see!” Tom pointed his index finger at Prince Ezekiel and glared. Then he turned around and wanted to leave. However before Tom walked out the door, Lucian came forward and stopped him. “Actually I want to go back to the Gray mansion in a few days. But since you’re here, I want you to bring back a gift.” “A gift?” Tom smiled in disdain. “What gift? Do you want to make up and ask for forgiveness? Stop dreaming about it. When your father died, you were no longer a member of the Gray family. Your father was kicked out and so was you.” Hearing that, Lucian’s face darkened. His father was once an important figure in the Gray family but the Gray family killed him. Nonetheless, Lucian had no proof but he swore to himself that he must find out the mystery of his father’s tragic death one day. “Just bring back the gift. I bet your father and Grandpa will like it.” “What?” Looking at Lucian contemptuously, Tom came forward and sneered again, “No matter what gift you give us, you’re no longer related to the Gray family. You’re a nobody to us.” Before Tom finished his words, a loud crack was heard. It sounded like bones breaking. “Arh….” Tom screamed and fell to the ground. He covered his right leg with his hands and moaned. Everyone was horrified. Lucian just broke Tom’s leg.
