1248 Tempting Conditions

Mr. Gray, I may be meeting you for the first time today, but I deeply feel that you are very talented, and it would be a waste of your great talent for you to stay in a small place like Orange County, Jensen said, shaking his head.

Lucas helped himself to the food calmly and said, Im just an ordinary person, and I dont have any great talent. Please dont joke with me, Mr. Hamilton.

Im just stating facts. How can I possibly be joking? Youre still so young, yet youve managed to make the Hales and the Coles pledge allegiance to you and be so loyal to you. This isnt something ordinary people can achieve!

Lucas said calmly, Im only close to Mr. Hale and Mr. Cole. Theres no such thing as allegiance or loyalty. Please dont be mistaken, Mr.Hamilton.

!!

Lucas naturally wouldnt say too much in front of Jensen.

Jensen smiled and didnt argue with Lucas over this matter. Instead, he changed the subject and said, To be honest, I value your abilities a lot, Mr. Gray.

Id like to invite you to join the Hamiltons to develop. If youre willing, we will give you generous compensation every year. And not only will we not meddle with your personal business, but we will provide you with greater resources. The Hamiltons can be your strongest support, and you can even develop your businesses under the Hamiltons name.

I believe that a smart person like you definitely knows what this means. What do you think of my suggestion, Mr. Gray?

He was recruiting Lucas straightforwardly!

As soon as Jensen finished speaking, everyone in the room was shocked.

The Hamiltons were not an ordinary wealthy family but a royal family with a long heritage!

Such a n.o.ble status was out of reach for most people, and anything related to the royals was definitely glorious.

But now, even though Jensen had such a high status, he was personally inviting Lucas to join the Hamiltons and promising him considerable benefits.

Just the Hamiltons offer to give Lucas support and allow him to manage his businesses under their name was a great benefit in itself.

If Lucas could get such protection from the Hamiltons, his businesses would certainly achieve great development.

All of a sudden, the several helmsmen present were envious, especially Jim and Anton, whose eyes were green with envy.

But a calm voice suddenly sounded in the private room. Sorry, but Im not interested.

Lucas actually turned down Jensens recruitment!

Jensen thought that Lucas would agree without hesitation since he had made such an attractive offer, but he didnt expect Lucas to turn him down immediately!

Brett was stunned too.

He had met many people, and most of them couldnt wait to jump at the chance to express their loyalty to him at the slightest hint of recruitment by the Hamiltons. Lucas was the first to instantly turn them down without hesitation.

Lucas, my father is very sincere in inviting you to join the Hamiltons and has offered very generous conditions. Why dont you reconsider it? Brett said.

In fact, although he didnt like Lucas, he had to admit that Lucas was quite capable, even more capable than someone from a prestigious family like himself.

Even he had once tried to recruit Lucas during their first meeting, but Lucas had also turned him down.

However, his father actually valued Lucas so much that he recruited him personally and offered extremely sincere conditions, but unexpectedly, Lucas still turned Jensen down.

Feeling unwilling, Jensen thought about it for a moment and continued, Mr. Gray, if theres anything youre still dissatisfied with, then I can add more benefits on top of what Ive just mentioned.

I know youre an expert with excellent martial arts skills. How about this? As long as youre willing to join the Hamiltons, I can invite the familys top expert to be your master and focus solely on training you. In a few years, you will definitely possess greater attainments in martial arts, and you might even become the strongest powerhouse of the Hamiltons and achieve greater glory and rewards.

In addition, I can improve your status further by taking you in as my G.o.dson. Youll be able to enjoy all the rights that the direct descendants of the Hamiltons do. I can even give you some of my a.s.sets!

As soon as he said this, everyone in the room was even more shocked and speechless.

Jensen actually said that he wanted to accept Lucas as his G.o.dson!

Usually, G.o.dsons would only be sons in name, but Jensen was almost offering to treat Lucas as his biological son. Not only would he give him the same rights as the other direct descendants of the Hamiltons, but he even said that he would give some of his a.s.sets to Lucas!

As the third and most favored son of the Hamiltons helmsmen, Jensen had plenty of a.s.sets. Even if he only gave 10% of them to Lucas, it was a staggering amount!

All of a sudden, the other five helmsmen were green with envy.

Brett suddenly clenched his fists. Even he didnt expect his father to make such a generous offer in order to get Lucas to join the family. The treatment would almost be the same as what Brett was getting as a legitimate son!

Brett felt rather displeased and jealous, but he knew that his father really wanted Lucas to join the Hamiltons, so he couldnt ruin things at this juncture. He clenched his fists and remained silent.

But Brett was well aware that this should just be his fathers ruse to get Lucas to join the Hamiltons. Even if Lucas really joined them, it was impossible for them to give Lucas such great benefits.

A trace of surprise appeared on Lucass usually calm face.

He didnt expect that Jensen would make such an attractive offer to recruit him.

Be it the tutelage of the Hamiltons strongest expert or the ident.i.ty of Jensens G.o.dson, these conditions would be extremely tempting to ordinary people.

Possessing either of these ident.i.ties would allow them to act domineering among royal families, let alone non-royal families.

But to Lucas, these things meant nothing.

He couldnt care less about being the apprentice of the Hamiltons strongest expert because he was certain that he wasnt any weaker than this so-called top expert. How could he possibly want to be his apprentice?

As for being Jensens G.o.dson, he was even less interested.

Even though Jensen said that he would treat Lucas almost the same way as his biological son, Lucas wasnt in the least bit interested.

After all, he didnt care about being another mans son.

Seeing how surprised Lucas was, Jensen smiled smugly. Indeed, theres nothing you cant buy in this world. If you cant convince someone, its only because you didnt offer enough.

He didnt think that Lucas would turn him down after he proposed such an attractive offer.

However, Jensen really guessed wrong.

Amid everyones gaze, Lucas shook his head and said lightly, As Ive said, Im not interested.
