1251 Superior Treatment
Jensen himself was a very talented martial artist who wasn’t any inferior to ordinary experts.
But as he watched Lucas walking toward him while exuding extreme pressure, he felt a horrific sense of fear that made him unable to even muster the intention to fight against Lucas.
Although Lucas was only 27 or 28 years old, his martial arts skills were indeed beyond Jensen’s expectations!
Even Moses, the bodyguard whom Jensen had always trusted, had been defeated by Lucas in one move and even had his fist crushed and crippled. Lucas was clearly a powerhouse that Jensen wasn’t capable of dealing with.
Seeing this scene, Jim and Anton had a trace of regret in their eyes.
If they had known how powerful Lucas was, that he didn’t fear the Hamiltons at all, and could even make Jensen show fear, they wouldn’t have remained sitting quietly and turned down the olive branch Lucas had extended to them.
They truly regretted their decision.
Ethan was rejoicing.
He had been conflicted just now, but fortunately, he had made the right choice to stand on Lucas’s side.
At this moment, Ethan was full of admiration for Lucas.
In fact, ever since he got to know Lucas more than half a year ago, Lucas had never failed before and would always remain calm no matter how strong his enemies were. In the end, he would surely find a way to deal with them and get rid of the troubles.
While rejoicing, Ethan also made up his mind that he would never waver again, regardless of what happened in the future. He had to stand on Lucas’s side at all times, or else, he would regret it!
Seeing Lucas, who reeked of the metallic odor of the blood that stained his clothes, Brett was so shocked that he turned deathly pale.
But at this moment, he had to step forward to say something. Otherwise, Lucas might really harm his father!
“Lucas, wait a minute!” Brett hurriedly stepped forward and looked at Lucas earnestly. “Lucas, what just happened is a misunderstanding! My father doesn’t have any ill intentions toward you. He really admires your talent, and he’s sincere about recruiting you, but he’s a little hot-tempered and overly eager. Sometimes, the things he says aren’t what he has in mind. That’s what led to the misunderstanding!”
Jensen frantically nodded and apologized to Lucas. “That’s right! Mr. Gray, I was too muddled just now. I just really want you to join the Hamiltons because I admire your talent. I had no other intentions. Ah, I tend to ruin things with my fiery temper. I’m sorry!
“But I know now that you’re so talented that I’m not capable of recruiting you. I will drop the idea now.
“Perhaps only my father is qualified to invite you. How about this? On behalf of my father, I formally invite you to be a guest elder of the Hamiltons. You won’t have to bother with the family’s miscellaneous affairs. You just need to come forward to help us during critical moments.
“Apart from critical moments, we won’t interfere with your whereabouts and actions. You can even use our name to manage your businesses, and your salary will be two hundred million dollars a year. What do you think, Mr. Gray?”
In other words, Lucas could almost completely ignore the Hamiltons’ affairs and only need to show up during major events. His actions wouldn’t be restrained at all, and he basically had the freedom to do whatever he wanted.
Moreover, the Hamiltons were a royal family branch who had surpassed most families in the US, so what major event could trouble them? Perhaps it would only occur once every few years.
This meant that Lucas almost wouldn’t have to do anything for a few years.
Furthermore, Lucas could make full use of the Hamiltons’ resources and the identity of their guest elder. He would even be paid 200 million dollars a year for doing practically nothing.
The others in the private room looked at Lucas, green with envy.
If they were given such a wonderful offer, they would definitely agree without hesitating for a single second!
They would be fools not to agree!
Jensen thought so too. He believed that Lucas wouldn’t turn down such an attractive offer.
But he was destined to be disappointed. Lucas merely glanced at him with contempt in his eyes.
Jensen’s heart tensed up, and he almost thought that Lucas had seen through his intentions.
He gritted his teeth and said, “If you’re still not satisfied with this salary, I can increase it to four hundred million dollars!”
After a momentary pause, he continued, “Four hundred million dollars a year should be the world’s highest salary for this work. Even the top expert of the family doesn’t get that much.
“Mr. Gray, I’ve already expressed my sincerity. As long as you agree, I can even pay you four hundred million in advance!”
His offer left everyone else present shocked and jealous.
Lucas would have an annual salary of 400 million dollars for a job that barely required doing anything, and he could even borrow the power of the Hamiltons to develop his own businesses. This excellent offer made them incredibly jealous!
Fortunately, Bruce, Edmund, Ethan, and the others knew how extraordinarily powerful Lucas was, so they could understand why the Hamiltons were giving Lucas such an attractive offer and didn’t feel too jealous about it.
Others would likely be mad with jealousy and wish that they could replace Lucas immediately.
After hearing Jensen’s offer, Brett subconsciously glanced at him in astonishment.
Even the strongest powerhouse of the Hamiltons only received an annual salary of 200 million dollars, which was already excellent. What right did Lucas have to draw a 400 million dollar annual salary?
Besides, they needed the approval of the helmsman to give Lucas such a high salary. Even though Jensen was the helmsman’s favored son, he didn’t have the right to agree on the family’s behalf.
But the next moment, Brett realized that his father didn’t have to implement his offer. He just wanted to lead Lucas on and calm him down first.
Brett smiled and said to Lucas, “Lucas, my father’s conditions are very sincere, and this treatment is a unique offer that doesn’t come by easily. You’re going to be paid twice what our top expert gets! What else are you considering, Lucas?”
Hearing their painstaking persuasion, Lucas, who had been listening calmly, suddenly smirked and sneered coldly. “Are you two having a good time trying to trick me? Do you take me for a fool?”
The expressions on Jensen’s and Brett’s faces immediately froze.
