Chapter 1295 Finally Surrendering
Rayson immediately turned as red as a tomato, overwhelmed with embarrassment.
He was clearly the dignified helmsman of the Williams, yet he was being forced to hand over 150 subordinates to Lucas, who in turn called him stingy in front of so many people. But he didn't dare to retort at all. He was really aggrieved!
Indeed, he would suffer a huge loss every single time he saw Lucas!
Rayson blamed himself for stupidly asking those questions. He frantically shook his head and said, "No, of course I'm willing! I'm more than willing! I-I'm just worried that 150 of them might not be enough for you, Mr. Gray."
Lucas smiled teasingly. "Oh, is that so? If I say they're not enough, will you lend me more people?"
Hearing this, Rayson was so chagrined that he wanted to knock his head against the wall for spouting nonsense in order to flatter Lucas.
He didn't have any extra people to lend Lucas.
Even if he did, he couldn't just give them away to him like this!
"Ahem, Mr. Gray, I… I don't have that many people here. Apart from the necessary experts that my family needs, the ones I brought today are all the elites of the Williams. I'm lending almost all of them to you, and even if I want to lend you more, I'm helpless to do so," Rayson said with dismay.
"Okay, enough. I know you're stingy. You're making it sound as if I'm snatching your people! Okay, I don't need you here anymore. Hurry up and get lost. Just leave those 150 people behind!" Lucas waved his hand impatiently before adding, "Oh, by the way, your cars made a mess in the Parkers' manor and injured many people. Remember to compensate the Parkers for their losses, and don't be so stingy about it."
Rayson endured the urge to vomit blood. He quickly ordered 150 people to stay here and instructed them to obey Lucas's orders. Then he transferred 25 million dollars to Damon as compensation before leaving with the remaining dozens of people at a speed much quicker than they arrived.
"Uh, Mr. Gray, Mr. Parker, I'll get going too!" Jonah looked at the situation in front of him in a trance. After Rayson left, he quickly wanted to chase after him.
He had just offended Lucas and the Parkers. Of course he had to flee now, lest they settle scores with him.
"Stop! Did I say that you could leave?" Lucas's indifferent voice suddenly rang in Jonah's ears.
Jonah's heart sank, and his legs went limp. Unable to maintain his balance, he fell straight to the floor. It's over. Lucas Gray is really going to settle scores with me!
"Mr… Mr. Gray, I'm really sorry. I wasn't aware of your identity, so I offended you. Please forgive me! Also, I… only came here to relay a message. Other matters have nothing to do with me!" Jonah begged on his knees, shaking in fright.

But Lucas ignored him and glanced at the seven helmsmen of the alliance. "Earlier, Mr. Parker gave you half an hour to consider the choices of handing over half of your properties and submitting to the Parkers or fighting them to the end. Half an hour is almost up. You should have made a choice, right?"
Lucas's indifferent eyes swept over these people one by one.
The seven helmsmen felt extremely bitter.
Within just ten short minutes, they had been on an emotional rollercoaster and almost suffered heart attacks.
They had thought that with Rayson's arrival, the Parkers would definitely be annihilated. So they had changed their minds about surrendering to the Parkers and instead wanted to pledge allegiance to Rayson to develop their families.
But now, even Rayson, the mighty helmsman of the Williams, had been so deferential and subservient to Lucas. He had come in high spirits but had left in despair. He had even left a large number of subordinates here to be at Lucas's disposal. What could weaker families like theirs do?
Lucas was a big shot whom even the Williams didn't dare to offend. Even if they joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for him!
There was no way they could compete with such a terrifying figure!
"Mr. Gray, I've already considered it carefully. I'm willing to hand over half of my family's businesses and properties and submit to the Parkers!" Kaye was the first to step forward. He got down on one knee in front of Lucas and Damon and lowered his head.
"The Cruises are willing to hand over half of the family's businesses and properties and submit to the Parkers!"
"The Westwoods are willing to hand over half of the family's businesses and properties and submit to the Parkers!"
…
All of a sudden, apart from Norman, the six other helmsmen walked over to Lucas and Damon, knelt on one knee, and pledged allegiance to them.
In this way, Norman, who was still standing still on the spot, was the odd one out.
Lucas ignored Norman and said to the six helmsmen, "Congratulations for making a wise choice. First thing tomorrow morning, bring your family's asset evaluation reports and financial staff to the Stardust Corporation's headquarters. Look for the general manager, Flynn Davis, to go through the asset transfer procedures. Mr. Flynn will tell you the details.
"But I have to warn you. You'd better not hide any of your assets or deceive us. If I find out that someone tries to get up to any tricks, don't blame me for being impolite."
Hearing this, the six helmsmen broke out in cold sweat and repeatedly declared that they would never dare.
"Okay, you can leave now."
After finally hearing these words from Lucas, the six helmsmen thanked him as though he had spared them from death and hurriedly left with their people.
Everything tonight was like a nightmare to them, and there were still many things they had to do. How to explain to their families, processing the asset transfers, etc. were all extremely important matters that they couldn't delay.
Even after the other helmsmen left, Norman didn't move for a long time before finally realizing that he was now alone and without support. Now, there were only two choices for him. One, submit to the Parkers as the other helmsmen did, or two, wait for the Holmes to be wiped out.
Norman finally gritted his teeth and said, "The… the Holmes are willing to hand over half of the family's businesses and properties and submit to the Parkers!"
But the moment he said this, an ear-piercing roar sounded again outside the manor, and more than ten Mercedes-Benz cars charged over toward them in the same manner that Rayson and his people had.
The car doors opened, and around 60 burly men with weapons dashed out.
The leader immediately saw Norman standing in front. He walked over to him and said like he was asking for credit, "Mr. Holmes, I rushed over with my people as soon as I received your call. We're ready to teach the Parkers a lesson at any time! Please give us your instructions!"
Norman became dizzy from the blood rushing to his head.
You idiot!
Why did you rush over at this time?! You deserve to die!
