Chapter 1298 - 1298 Bringing Under Command

1298 Bringing Under Command

Seeing the expression on Lucass face, Damon added softly, Of course, Im just making a suggestion. Its entirely up to you if you want to keep Jonah Fuller around!

He thought that Jonah did have some talent in business. If Lucas brought him under his command, Jonah might be of some help to him. But Damon knew that he couldnt interfere with Lucass decision to take Jonah in or not.

Because Damon had whispered into Lucass ear, no one else knew what he said.

Jonah looked at Lucas expectantly.

!!

Now, his mindset was completely different.

Although Jonah resented and feared Lucas previously, he was now full of expectations for him. He wished that Lucas would accept him and bring him under his command.

Bruce and Edmund stood still without saying anything. They had just arrived in DC and didnt know much about the forces and families here. Thus, they couldnt give Lucas any suggestions and could only let him decide.

Lucas looked at Jonah and suddenly asked, Since you want to work for me, how can I trust that you wont betray me in the future?

Lucas rarely took in subordinates, and even when he did, it had to be people he trusted. For example, Damon, Bruce, Edmund, etc. had experienced many incidents and tests before Lucas felt that they were trustworthy and agreed to keep them by his side. From time to time, he would also give them opportunities to expand their families.

But Jonah was different.

About ten minutes ago, Jonah was full of hostility toward Lucas. Yet now, he was taking the initiative to pledge allegiance to Lucas. According to Lucass previous practice, he absolutely wouldnt accept someone like him as his subordinate.

But Jonah really did have some skills, and his perception wasnt bad either. After realizing Lucass true ident.i.ty, he instantly changed drastically and even wanted to stay by Lucass side at all costs. As such, Jonah could be considered a smart person.

Jonah knew that his earlier behavior was rather distasteful. Besides, he had just met Lucas, so it was indeed difficult to make Lucas believe that he wouldnt betray him in the future.

Even if he swore that he wouldnt betray Lucas, it still wouldnt be convincing enough.

After thinking about it, Jonah said, This is truly hard to prove. But I believe that given how powerful you are, even if I betray you, youll be able to resolve it easily.

Regardless of whether I betray you or not, betrayal is simply a non-issue to you, isnt it?

Jonahs answer stunned everyone.

After hearing his answer, Lucas had a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Indeed, even if Jonah betrayed him in the future, with Lucass power and abilities, it would be a piece of cake for him to deal with Jonah.

Besides, Lucas believed that after Jonah spent some time with him and understood a bit of his true power, he wouldnt be so stupid as to think of betraying him.

He had indeed been thinking too much.

In that case, Ill give you a chance to follow me as you wish, Lucas said nonchalantly.

Jonah was overjoyed and exclaimed, Yes! Thank you so much for this chance, Mr. Gray. Ill definitely do my best to be as useful as I can. Ill do anything for you!

Lucas said, Dont be so eager to thank me yet. There are still some things I have to make clear to you. One, I dont keep loafers around me. If you cant show me satisfactory competency, I wont keep a good-for-nothing around. Two, I absolutely loathe betrayal, so if I find out that youve dared to betray me, I wont spare you easily! Do you understand?

At this moment, the two bodyguards holding Jonah down released him under Damons signal.

As soon as Joanh regained freedom, he knelt and said respectfully. Mr. Gray, dont worry! I certainly wont let you down! If you think Im incompetent or disloyal, you wont need to say anything. Ill get rid of myself so that you wont be put in a spot!

Lucas stared at Jonah for a long time and could tell that he meant what he said from the bottom of his heart and that it just wasnt rhetoric. He nodded and said, In that case, you are now my subordinate, and I wont interfere too much. You will still manage the Fullers a.s.sets. Just remember what youve said today.

Hearing this, Jonah was overjoyed and unable to believe his ears.

He didnt expect that after he surrendered to Lucas and offered his familys a.s.sets, Lucas didnt want anything and let him keep them.

To Jonah, this was a G.o.dsend opportunity, and he felt extremely grateful to Lucas!

Mr. Gray, Ill always remember your great kindness. I definitely wont disappoint you! Otherwise, Ill be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!

In his excitement, he even swore an oath.

Lucas smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Damon stepped forward and pulled Jonah up from the floor. Mr. Fuller, congratulations. From today onward, well be friends in the same camp!

Jonah got up from the floor with Damons help and said with a look of shame and guilt, Mr. Parker, I really have no words. I solemnly apologize for the disrespect Ive shown to you and the Parkers. Thank you for not holding it against me.

Damon patted Jonah on the shoulder and laughed. Haha, the matter has already pa.s.sed, so theres no need to mention it again. From now on, well be comrades, so you dont have to be polite!

Bruce and Edmund walked over with smiles. Mr. Fuller, well be a family from now on. Let bygones be bygones!

Jonah still didnt know Bruces and Edmunds ident.i.ties, but he had seen the two of them sitting with Damon and Lucas, so he could guess that they were close to Lucas. He just didnt know how he should address them.

Acting as an intermediary, Damon introduced, You still dont know who they are, right? Let me introduce them. This is Mr. Bruce Hale, the former helmsman of the Hale family, and the gentleman next to him is Mr. Edmund Cole, the helmsman of the Cole family.

With his head held high, he said confidently, Now, the Hales and the Coles have just arrived in DC, but in no time, they will definitely rise up and become formidable families here like the Parkers!
