On the way home, Freya looked at Lucian with curiosity and asked, “Lucian, did you call in those military forces?”
Minnies had the same eager expression on her face, and she also wanted to know if Lucian was responsible for bringing in the military forces. She never really liked Lucian, the heartless ba stard, but what happened today made her slowly change her mind. And she couldn’t help but notice that Lucian looked really handsome today.
Lucian pushed Freya along and replied, “This morning, the Sioux military forces were doing a live-action training exercise in the outskirts. When I made the call, they happened to be finishing up, and the commander was actually an old comrade of mine. He just helped me out, and it was just a coincidence. I’m not that powerful.”
“I have a feeling that’s the case,” Freya nodded lightly, believing Lucian’s words.
With just one phone call, Lucian was able to summon an entire battalion and five helicopters to do his bidding. Only someone like the Infernal War G od had that kind of power. Even the Minister of the Sioux military would not dare to use military forces for personal matters.
As a retired soldier, Lucian was even less qualified.
“Lucian, in the future, let’s avoid using military forces. If the Infernal War G od finds out, your comrade will have a hard time explaining himself,” Freya said to Lucian with a serious expression on her face.
“Okay, I’ll listen to my wife,” Lucian chuckled and rubbed Freya’s head a few times.
“Don’t be ridiculous, I’m not your wife,” Freya retorted.
Despite Freya’s serious tone, the blush on her face betrayed her true feelings. She refused to admit that she was Lucian’s wife, still unable to fully move past the pain he caused her by disappearing for seven years. However, their experiences together had slowly helped her to start healing, and it was only a matter of time before she fully moved on.
Minnies observed their interactions and took the initiative to step forward and keep a distance from them. She was unsure of her own feelings towards Lucian, wanting to push him away but also feeling a hint of reluctance.

When they arrived home, Frank and Annie had already prepared a table full of delicious food.
“Lucian, where’s my Maybach?” Frank immediately asked as soon as he saw them. return. “I want to take a spin after dinner.”
The news of the car being smashed couldn’t be concealed for long. Even if it could be hidden for a while, it couldn’t be hidden forever!
Therefore, Freya directly told Frank about the incident.
“Totaled??”
Frank’s eyes instantly glazed over, he sat down heavily on the sofa, his eyes turned red and he was on the verge of tears.
“Who did it?”
Annie immediately came out of the kitchen, asking anxiously.
The car was so expensive, and they had just bought it not long ago, and now it was already smashed.
Freya told Annie and Frank about what happened to the car and also mentioned Lucian’s request for help from his friend. Initially, Freya thought Annie would be very upset about the car being damaged, but to her surprise, Annie went straight to Lucian and spoke to him in a serious tone:
“Lucian, you can’t keep using your friends’ favors. It’s okay to do it once or twice, but if you keep doing it, it could get you into trouble with the Infernal War Go d. Not to mention, it could also lead to your friends being punished.”
“I know, Mom!”
Lucian chuckled and nodded firmly.
“Don’t call me Mom.”
Annie rolled her eyes at Lucian and went back to the kitchen to cook.
Despite Annie’s harsh tone, it was clear that she still cared about him. She was one of

those people who had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Such a mother-in-law was really interesting.
As for Frank, he was slumped on the couch feeling miserable. Even if the Finnegan family sold everything to pay for the damages, it still wouldn’t be enough to buy a limited edition Maybach. It was a painful realization.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town.
After returning home with his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, Shane immediately began investigating Lucian’s identity. It didn’t take long for him to discover that Lucian was a Gray family outcast and, based on the intelligence gathered, just a former soldier with no ability to mobilize military resources.
“Dad, I heard that Infernal War G od attended the Gray family banquet before. Could it be that the Gray family helped Lucian?” Wallace suddenly remembered something and asked.
Shane nodded, feeling that his son was probably right. “Exactly. The gray family must have lent a hand in helping Lucian obtain military support. And considering Lucian’s background, there’s no way he could afford such an expensive Maybach. The gray family must have helped him with that too.”
“What do we do now?” Wallace hesitated for a moment before asking.
“Let’s go to the Gray family. I have some connections with the family head. As long as he doesn’t pursue it, that exiled Lucian won’t dare to mess with us,” Shane waved his hand and took his son straight to the Gray mansion.
Upon arriving at the mansion, Shane immediately told Henry about what happened today.
At first, Henry was angry about the incident in the morning. But he couldn’t help but feel relieved when he found out that Lucian’s Maybach was smashed by the Finnegan family in the afternoon. For Henry, it was like a breath of fresh air.
“Hahaha, good job, good job,” Henry clapped his hands and said.
The rest of the Gray family members were also very happy. Lucian embarrassed

them a lot with this car, and now they finally got some relief.
Shane’s face showed a hint of embarrassment as he spoke, “Mr. Gray, that wasn’t a good smash. After my son smashed the car, you guys helped Lucian call in the military and made us sell our property to pay for the car. Please, Mr. Gray, spare us this time for the sake of our previous relationship. From now on, the Finnegan family will do anything for the Gray family.”
“What?”
Henry looked puzzled and asked, “We didn’t help Lucian call in the military.”
“Then what happened?”
Shane immediately told Henry about the military intervention that happened today.
Henry looked confused, not knowing what had happened.
“Grandpa, I know what happened.” Tom walked in and said, “Today when I was driving out to deliver some documents, I saw the Azure Dragon War King leading a team to do live-fire exercises in the suburbs. They must have seen Wallace smashing the car on their way back at noon!”
“That’s what happened.”
Henry and Shane suddenly realized what had happened. “Mr. Gray, but Lucian told the military that I should sell all my assets to compensate him. What should I do now?” Shane asked, with a dejected expression on his face.
Henry chuckled, “You guys are too bold. You came with so many people to smash his car and beat him up. The military can’t just sit back and watch. Besides, they can use this opportunity to show their sense of justice for the country and the people and demonstrate their power in front of the citizens. You guys walked right into the trap. But you
don’t have to compensate Lucian at all. He’s just a small fry, what are you afraid of?”
“What do you mean, Mr. Gray?” Shane’s eyes lit up with excitement as he asked.
“I mean, you should just go home and eat and drink. Three days later, wait for Lucian to come and ask for compensation himself,” Henry said, with a smirk.

Suddenly, Henry’s eyes filled with killing intent, and he said in a cold tone, “Besides, I have an unending feud with him. He threatened to make me kneel and beg for forgiveness from his father in a month. Well, I’ve already paid the Grim Reapers to take care of Lucian. So, I’ll give you a hand. If Lucian dares to set foot in the Finnegan family in three days, the Grim Reapers will make sure he has no burial ground.”
The Grim Reapers.
The devil couple in the underground world, are a very special force in the Sioux’s underground world.
Although they are only a second-tier force in the underground world and have fewer hands and territories than the four major city kings, the subordinates of the Grim Reapers are not afraid of death, and even the four major kings dare not easily provoke this special force.
It is rumored that if the hands and territories of the Grim Reapers increase, they can replace the weakest Prince Ezekiel of King Broqa’s position.
Even if Lucian’s father had once done a favor for Prince Ezekiel, if the Grim Reapers were determined to kill Lucian, even Prince Ezekiel wouldn’t dare to engage in a life- and-death battle with them and the Gray family over a mere abandoned son.
After all, Prince Ezekiel was ranked fourth among the four major kings. If he were to suffer serious losses in a fight with the Grim Reapers, the other three kings who were eyeing his position would quickly take advantage of his weakness. For his own sake, he couldn’t protect Lucian this time.
Furthermore, with the Grim Reapers backed by the Gray family, Prince Ezekiel could only watch helplessly as Lucian was killed.
“Hahaha, Mr. Gray, thank you in advance!” Shane was very happy and clasped his fists in appreciation. “On the day the Gray family goes public, I will bring a generous gift and come to support you.”
