Chapter 1112: Making A Request

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As soon as Alexander finished speaking, Elise, who had always been calm and steady, couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

The four major borders of the country were each guarded by a million-strong legion and led by an existence that was regarded highly by all.

Not to mention the most powerful people around the chiefs who held the greatest authority, even just soldiers of the chiefs all had high statuses in the country. They were likely powerful enough to annihilate the eight top families of DC.

She couldn’t believe that Lucas actually had such a high status!

In the past, Elise wouldn’t have believed it. But now that she had met Lucas in person and sensed his deeply hidden yet formidable aura, she found Alexander’s guesses very convincing.

Alexander said, “Mom, now you know why I didn’t hesitate to agree to Mr. Gray’s request, right? This is an amazing opportunity he’s given us!”

Ashley nodded. “Mom, I agree with Alex. Lucas has a powerful status, incredible wealth, and great martial arts skills. His request for us to work for him is a blessing for us!

“Besides, we’ve already been kicked out of the Steele family, and once people in DC find out about it, no one will dare to hire us, for fear that the Steeles will attack them for it. Are we supposed to reject this wonderful opportunity, leave DC, and go elsewhere to slog our guts out?

“To put it bluntly, we don’t even have the money to leave DC now…”

As Ashley spoke, she felt incomparable sadness.

She and Alexander were direct descendants of the Steeles, and they and their parents had done so much for the family. Yet they were kicked out of the family and forced to leave without a single cent.

If Lucas hadn’t sent someone to pick them up just now, they wouldn’t have even had the money to take a bus, let alone call a taxi. They would have had to borrow from their friends.

Seeing how aggrieved her daughter was, Elise felt her heart ache.

She sighed and said, “It’s not that I wanted to turn Mr. Gray down. I just think that there are some things that we should clarify beforehand.”

“What do you want to clarify?” Alexander and Ashley looked at Elise in puzzlement.

Elise explained, “I didn’t agree immediately because I wanted you two to tell me more about him. After all, it’s my first time meeting him today, so it’s hard for me to confirm if he’s reliable and trustable.

“Of course, after hearing the information you’ve investigated, I can basically confirm that he’s a very powerful person, and relying on him will give us a lot of protection.

“But on the other hand, Lucas killed Godfrey, a direct descendant of the Steeles, and humiliated the Steeles after all. Under such circumstances, do you think your grandfather will listen to you and really not go against him?”

Alexander immediately lowered his head.

Indeed, his grandfather, Greg, was an extremely stubborn person. After hearing his desperate pleas earlier, he refused to take his advice. And now that he had left the Steeles, he couldn’t persuade him anymore.

Moreover, Godfrey’s father definitely wouldn’t let Lucas off. And with Trevor, who hated Lucas, adding fuel to the flames, it was basically impossible for the Steeles to give up on taking revenge against Lucas.

Elise continued, “So, you know the Steeles are bound to seek revenge on Mr. Gray, and no matter how powerful he is, I’m afraid the consequences will be terrible.

“When the time comes, what choice will you make between the Steeles and Mr. Gray?”

Hearing this, Alexander lowered his head even more.

In fact, he understood what his mother was saying, but he subconsciously didn’t want to think about it, wanting to avoid the problem.

Although the Steeles had mercilessly kicked the three of them out, they had grown up with them, and his father had sacrificed his life for the family.

So even though the Steels had kicked them out, it was impossible for them to ignore the Steeles completely and let them destroy themselves.

Elise paused for a moment before saying, “Therefore, I want to raise a term with Mr. Gray. If the Steeles trouble him in the future, I hope that he can be lenient and give them a way out and not kill them all.

“If he can agree to this condition, we will immediately agree to help him.”

Ashley was shocked and said to her mother in disbelief, “Mom, how can you do that? Although Mr. Gray is asking us to work for him, he is actually helping us. But instead of being grateful, we want to ask him to agree to a condition. Aren’t we going overboard?”

Elise sighed without saying anything.

Ashley had probably been so hurt by the Steeles that she no longer felt anything for them. Moreover, she was in love with Lucas.

Alexander said, “Mom is right. We should indeed make this request to Mr. Gray.

“To be honest, I already asked this of Mr. Gray last night, and he promised me that even if the Steeles really court death, he will try to give them a way out. But this was yesterday. I don’t know if he will still promise me this now. After all, our family has been kicked out of the Steeles, and there is no longer a cushion to ease the conflict between him and them.”

Hearing this, Elise nodded approvingly, thinking that her son was really capable for managing to think of this last night and getting Lucas to agree to it.

But Ashley still looked puzzled. “Why?”

Alexander explained to her, “No matter what, we are from the Steeles after all. Even if the Steeles are heartless to us, we can’t forget that they’ve raised us for years. If we’re that heartless, Mr. Gray probably wouldn’t want to hire us.

“How can people who can turn against their family gain his trust?”

After hearing Alexander’s explanation, Ashley came to a realization and could only nod reluctantly. “Okay then. Let’s do as you say.”

She was indeed very disappointed and upset with the Steeles, especially since they had just been kicked out. But she really couldn’t stand back and watch them die.

Alexander smiled. “It’s settled then. As long as Mr. Gray agrees to spare the Steeles and gives them a chance to survive, we will stay here and work for him.”

Ashley nodded.

But Elise suddenly asked, “Then, what if Mr. Gray refuses?”
