The Son-in-law of the God of War
Chapter 1112: Making a Request

As soon as Alexander finished speaking, Elise, who was always calm and steady, inevitably took a sharp breath.

The four main borders of the country were each guarded by a million powerful legions and led by an existence that was considered high by everyone.

Not to mention the strongest people around the chieftains who held the greatest authority, even only the soldiers of the chieftains had high status in the country. They seemed to be powerful enough to annihilate the top eight DC families.

He could not believe that Lucas really had such a high status!

In the past, Elise would not believe it. But now that he has met Lucas in person and feels his deeply hidden yet formidable aura, he finds Alexander's guess very convincing.

!!

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

Ashley nodded. “Bu, I agree with Alex. Lucas had a strong status, incredible wealth, and great martial arts skills. His request that we work for him is a blessing to us!

“In addition, we have been expelled from the Steele family, and once the people in DC know about it, no one dares to hire us, for fear the Steeles will attack them for it. Do we have to turn down this incredible opportunity, leave DC, and go somewhere else to work hard?

“To be frank, we don't even have the money to leave DC now.

As Ashley spoke, she felt an incomparable sadness.

He and Alexander are direct descendants of the Steeles, and they and their parents have done a lot for the family. But they were expelled from the family and forced to leave without a penny.

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

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

He sighed and said, “It's not that I want to reject Mr. Gray. I just think that there are some things that we should clarify first.”

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

Elise explained, “I don't agree right away because I want you two to tell me more about her. After all, this was the first time I met him today, so it was difficult for me to ascertain whether he was reliable and trustworthy.

“Of course, after hearing the information you have investigated, I can basically confirm that he is a very strong 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 somehow humiliated the Steeles. Under those circumstances, do you think your Grandfather would listen to you and really not oppose it?

Alexander immediately lowered his head.

Indeed, his grandfather, Greg, was a very stubborn man. After hearing her desperate plea earlier, she refused to accept her advice. And now that he had left the Steeles, he couldn't persuade her anymore.

Moreover, Godfrey's father would definitely not let go of Lucas. And with Trevor, who hates Lucas, adding fuel to the fire, it's basically impossible for the Steeles to give up on getting revenge against Lucas.

Elise continued, “So, you know the Steeles are bound to take revenge on Mr. Gray, and no matter how strong he is, I fear the consequences will be dire.

Hearing this, Alexander lowered his head even more.

Actually, she understood what her mother said, but subconsciously she was unwilling to think about it, wanting to avoid trouble.

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

So even though the Steel had driven them away, it was impossible for them to ignore the Steeles completely and let them destroy themselves.

Elise paused for a moment before saying, “Therefore, I would like to apply for terms with Mr. Gray. If the Steeles trouble him in the future, I hope 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 startled and said to her mother in disbelief, “Bu, how can mother do that? Even though Mr. Gray asked us to work for him, he actually helped us. But instead of thanking her, we wanted to ask her to agree to a condition. Are we not overreacting?

Elise sighed without saying anything.

Ashley may have been so hurt by the Steeles that she no longer felt anything for them. He falls in love with Lucas.

Alexander said, “Mother is right. We must indeed make this request to Mr. Gray.

“To be honest, I already asked this to Mr. Gray last night, and he promised me that even if the Steeles really faced death, he would try to give them a way out. But this was yesterday. I don't know if he'll promise me this now. After all, our family has been expelled from the Steeles, and there is no more cushion to defuse the conflict between him and them.”

Hearing this, Elise nodded in agreement, thinking that her son was actually able to manage to think about this last night and make Lucas agree to it.

But Ashley still looked confused. “Why?”

Alexander explained to him, “After all, we are from the Steeles. Even if the Steeles are heartless to us, we cannot forget that they have raised us for many years. If we're heartless, Mr. Gray may not want to hire us.

“How can a person who can turn against his family earn his trust?”

Upon hearing Alexander's explanation, Ashley became aware and could only nod reluctantly. “Alright then. Let's do as you say.

He was indeed very disappointed and annoyed with the Steeles, especially since they had just been sent off. But he really couldn't back down and watch them die.

Alexander smiled. “It's decided then. As long as Mr. Gray agrees to save the Steeles and give 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?”
