Chapter 980: Kneeling and Apologizing
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Rayson gritted his teeth forcefully and said, “I can guarantee that after I leave this place, I will never send anyone to take revenge on the Howards! I swear!”
Jordan sneered contemptuously. “Swear? Guarantee? Trust you to try and fool us with a lie that even elementary school kids won’t believe. Mr. Williams, are you treating us as retards?
“You refuse to kneel no matter what, huh? Since you don’t know any better, you can die here!”
Jordan walked toward Rayson.
Rayson’s face was already as pale as a sheet. He didn’t expect that Jordan would want to kill him over a minor disagreement!
Seeing Jordan approaching him, Rayson felt a deep fear surge in his heart.
The twenty or so experts of the Williams standing behind him looked like they were facing a dreadful enemy.
If Jordan really wanted to kill Rayson, it would be impossible for them to stop him!
Meanwhile, Derek and Conrad turned deathly pale because they didn’t expect Jordan to be so bold as to want to kill Rayson!
After all, no matter what, Rayson was the helmsman of one of the eight top families of DC. But in Jordan’s opinion, the lives of Rayson, Conrad, and Derek were worthless!
The thought of it put Conrad and Derek in a terrible mood.
Moreover, Rayson was being forced to kneel and apologize just because he had formed an alliance with the Piers to deal with the Howards. In fact, even their lives were in danger. In that case, since the Piers had already made a move against the Howards and showed their intentions to covet their assets so greatly, including their actions of forcing Florence to marry Derek, it meant that their fate was likely going to be worse than Rayson’s.
Only the Howards felt confident after hearing the domineering words from Jordan.
Since Rayson was the Piers’ accomplice in bullying the Howards, the Howards would probably applaud if he died right here!
At this moment, Jordan had already walked up to Rayson and said coldly, “Okay, you can go to hell now! When you die, there will only be seven top families in DC!”
Then Jordan raised his hand and punched at Rayson’s head!
“No!!!” Rayson immediately screamed and fell to his knees. “I was wrong! Don’t kill me! I’ll apologize. I’ll do anything!”
Rayson was really scared out of his wits by Jordan. He couldn’t bother thinking about anything else and kneeled immediately!
Jordan had long known that Rayson was a spineless person who would definitely rather kneel than die. So the punch he threw was extremely loud. But after seeing Rayson kneel, he stopped just as his fist was right beside Rayson’s ear.
Feeling the fierce gust of wind stirred up by the punch, Rayon broke out in cold sweat while feeling thankful to have survived.
Fortunately, he had kneeled in time to save his own life!
At this moment, the other people in the funeral hall looked at Rayson in shock.
The helmsman of the Williams had really kneeled and apologized for his mistakes without any regard for his image. All he wanted was to seek forgiveness from Lucas and the Howards!
If they hadn’t seen it clearly with their own eyes and merely heard it from others, they would probably think that it was just some absurd nonsense.
But the truth was now presented in front of them so clearly!
“Oh my god! The head of the Williams actually kneeled and apologized! I can’t believe it!”
“Th-this is incredible! He’s the head of one of the top eight families of DC, yet he kneeled down in front of a young man in his twenties?!”
“Hah, Rayson looked down on us for having a female helmsman, but Ms. Florence has more backbone than him. She didn’t concede even when the Piers and the Williams tried to compel her. Yet the Williams’ helmsman actually kneeled down so quickly. How hilarious!”
“Exactly! He’s a far cry from the Howards’ helmsman!”
…
Hearing the comments and contemptuous remarks from the crowd about his behavior, Rayson felt extremely embarrassed and humiliated. His face started burning up as he kneeled on the floor.
Even though he was usually thick-skinned, he couldn’t help feeling extremely ashamed now that he was kneeling and listening to the taunts of the Howards around him.
In the face of a life threat, he could only swallow his pride and forgo his dignity to kneel and apologize to a young man about the same age as his son and even seek his forgiveness.
For the fifty-odd years of his life, he had always been respected by others, and he had never suffered such humiliation before.
Rayson felt like his heart was bleeding!
He had to kill Jordan and Lucas one day to make up for the humiliation he suffered today!
Derek and Conrad were watching in fear. Now that their subordinates had either fainted or defected, the two of them were the only Piers left, and the Howards could deal with them however they wanted. They wouldn’t have the ability to resist at all!
This was what it meant to be in a hopeless situation!
“How do you expect Lucas to forgive you when your apology is so insincere?” Jordan said coldly.
Rayson froze in shock as humiliation and anger flashed on his face, but he understood that he could only be at the mercy of others.
He gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and said with humiliation, “Mr. Gray, I didn’t mean to offend you. I’m really sorry! Please don’t hold it against me and forgive me this time!”
Seeing Rayson’s appearance, everyone in the funeral hall was in a complicated mood.
Standing at the side and watching everything, Michael was feeling a mix of bitterness, pride, and remorse.
Rayson, the helmsman of the Howards, was about the same age and status as Michael. They were both the heads of one of the eight top families of DC.

But now, Rayson had no choice but to kneel on the floor in humiliation and apologize to Michael’s son.
He was in an extremely complicated mood.
At this moment, Michael was full of regret.
He knew that Lucas would never be able to forgive him and return to the Huttons.
If he had known this would happen, he would have resisted the pressure instead of kicking Lucas and his mother out of the family!
Michael knew very well that with Lucas’s current ability, he didn’t have to fear the other top eight families of DC. In fact, if there was a family that he disliked, he could easily wipe them out!
With the support of Lucas, the Howards would probably surpass the other families and become the most powerful one in the country. Michael might even have to look up to them then.
Unfortunately, it was too late to regret it now!
