Chapter 1006 Brother-In-Law

The door was already kicked to the side, and he walked in with a solemn face. Just the thought that his wife had been captured and brought to such a place made him furious, but he was shocked when he saw the scene within the building.

"My dear," Hanson called, pacing toward her in big strides. On both sides of Vania, a group of men were still hugging each other. "Are you hurt?"

Vania pretended to be shocked. "No, but I was scared when I saw them hurting each other after they barged into the building."

Hanson was pretty sure that his wife was acting suspiciously, but he said tenderly, "Don't be afraid. I'm here now." Then, he turned to the thugs. "Since you've given my wife a scare, you'll have to bear the consequences."

"We did not-" Vania cast a warning glare at them at once, and the thugs swallowed their words. To save their lives, they changed their tune, saying, "It's our fault. Please let us off, sir, and we'll work our butts off to repay you."

Hanson wasn't a man they could offend, and it was as good as seeking death if they tried to confront him. Moreover, they did abduct his wife. Even though she had pretended to pass out, they were the ones who brought her here, and this was an unforgivable act.

"Okay." Hanson wasn't interested in continuing the topic, and he suddenly asked, "Did you guys call her 'miss' earlier?"

Under such circumstances, the thugs didn't dare conceal anything and admitted, "Yes, she's our elder sister. From the bottom of our hearts, we sincerely regard her as one." They gave it their all and plastered smiles on their faces so that they seemed more convincing.

Instead of asking the reason why they had established such a relationship with Vania, Hanson asked, "In that case, how should you address me?"

"Uh..." The thugs were stumped by his question, and even Vania was baffled.

The thugs cranked up their creativity and thought of words they could use to match Hanson's amazing image. In the end, all of them, who were culturally limited, couldn't come up with a suitable adjective. Thus, they shrugged at him and said, "Please tell us, Mr. Luke, and we'll address you as you wish." Now that their lives were in the hands of this couple, they had no choice but to be submissive. "That makes me your brother-in-law, but you can call me President Luke," Hanson said calmly, carrying a trace of pride in his voice.

Is he trying to show off our relationship? Vania thought.

This gesture was deemed highly unnecessary by the thugs, who were already physically tortured by Vania. But now, along came another person to torment their fragile hearts. Are they giving us a double blow? they thought miserably and could only nod their heads.

"We'll keep that in mind. You're our... brother-in-law, President Luke." They sounded incredibly awkward and sheepish when they spoke. After all, Hanson was the most influential and powerful person in the country, and they didn't have the guts to claim that they were related to him in any way.

While peering at them with his unfeeling eyes, Hanson said, "Looks like you know your place and that you're not qualified, huh?"

Weren't you the one who wanted us to address you like that? What exactly do you want, then? The thugs protested in their hearts, but after consideration, they decided to surrender in fear and pleaded with crestfallen faces, saying, "That's right, President Luke."

This time, Hanson turned away from them and beckoned to the police he brought with him. "Take them away."

When the thugs saw that the police were there, they hugged each other tighter. No, we can't go to prison! Since all of them had criminal records, they would likely spend the rest of their lives in jail once they were locked up.
