Chapter 376: Choice For The Future

When Lucas told him the first option and the sum of 15 million dollars, Flynn’s eyes only widened in surprise, but he didn’t seem very excited.

When Lucas revealed the second option, Flynn furrowed his brows a little, but he soon made up his mind without much hesitation and said firmly, “I choose the second option!”

Lucas raised a brow. “You still don’t know what I need you to do yet. Besides, I’ve already told you explicitly that the tasks might be very dangerous. Are you sure you still want to pick the second option?”

Flynn nodded seriously. “I’m very sure. I may get fifteen million dollars in cash and live comfortably for the rest of my life if I pick the first option, while the second option involves the possibility of great danger and is full of countless challenges, changes, and uncertainties. But I’d like to continue working for you and experience different sides of life, Lucas!”

Flynn was not being pretentious.

Lucas’s promise of a whopping 15 million dollars in cash was definitely a staggering amount for Flynn, who had worked as a general manager for a long time. Many people might never even earn one-tenth or even one-hundredth of this amount after working hard all their lives. Lucas’s offer was definitely considered generous.

But during the three months that he had been in contact with Lucas, he had witnessed Lucas’s strength and power, leaving him in awe and admiration.

It was only normal to look up to the strong, and Flynn hoped to stay by Lucas’s side so that he could get closer to him and learn more from him.

Besides, he believed that as long as he continued to work for Lucas, he would definitely make more than 15 million dollars in the future.

There were countless ways to make money, but there is only one Lucas Gray in this world. If he missed this opportunity, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life!

Flynn had made his choice.

Lucas was a little surprised by Flynn’s answer, but at the same time, he was also satisfied with it. “You don’t have to be so eager about making your choice. I have some things to make clear to you.”

Lucas said indifferently, “I reckon you should know that the Stardust Corporation in Orange County now is not a complete entity on its own. It can be said that the Stardust Corporation is just the branch of a larger company. The true giants and important industries are still under the control of the Huttons of DC.

“The task I’m going to assign you is to infiltrate the headquarters of the Stardust Corporation in DC and act as a vanguard for me by getting rid of all the snitches and snakes.”

A trace of excitement appeared in Flynn’s eyes when he heard that Lucas wanted to send him to the Stardust Corporation’s headquarters in DC.

Lucas continued, “I’m sure you have some understanding of my situation. I’ll tell you straight. The Huttons have been trying to get me to return to the family to succeed their empire because of some issues. However, I didn’t agree. There are some people in the Hutton family who think that my existence is a hindrance to them, so they will target me.

“As the general manager of the Stardust Corporation’s Orange County branch, whom I handpicked, you will inevitably be ostracized and targeted by them when you are transferred to the headquarters in DC. Your life might even be in danger.

“They may not dare to kill me, but they will very likely resort to some extreme means to deal with the people I send over.

“So if you choose this path, you will indeed be in great danger. I’m not trying to scare you, but I need you to be aware of the possible risks. You can answer me after you’ve thought it through clearly and decide which path you want to choose.”

After Lucas finished speaking, he sipped some water quietly while waiting for Flynn to make his decision.

Although Lucas did want to send someone to take over the Stardust Corporation’s headquarters, and Flynn was indeed a very suitable candidate, Lucas felt obliged to inform him of the possible dangers beforehand and let him consider carefully before deciding whether to go or not. Otherwise, Lucas would just be tricking him into tempting fate.

After all, most of the departments of the Stardust Corporation’s headquarters in DC had been managed and controlled by the Huttons for years. Among them, there were many who didn’t want Lucas to go back to DC, and the situation there might be even more dangerous than what he made it out to be.

After hearing Lucas’s honest explanation of the possible dangers he might encounter, Flynn slipped into a somber dilemma.

Although he really wanted to continue working for Lucas and staying by his side, he also knew that it was very likely that he would lose his life because of it. So it was indeed an extremely difficult choice that he had to make.

After pondering quietly for a while, Flynn suddenly asked, “Lucas, I’d like to ask you a question. What do the Huttons mean to you?”

Lucas smiled. “They are existences that I will definitely destroy!”

His tone was brimming with strong confidence and certainty that he would emerge victorious. Moreover, he didn’t seem to perceive it as a difficult task at all but only a small goal he could easily accomplish.

Flynn looked at Lucas in astonishment. The Huttons were one of the eight most powerful families in DC, and they were truly authoritative and wealthy enough to be considered behemoths that could affect the country’s economic system.

But Lucas didn’t seem to take them seriously at all, as he casually said that he would destroy them.

If someone else said this, Flynn would think that that person was just blowing their trumpet. But since Lucas was the one who said it, Flynn would never doubt the truth of his words in the slightest.

A great sense of pride arose in Flynn’s heart as he declared loudly, “Lucas, I’ve decided I will choose the second path and go to the Stardust Corporation’s headquarters in DC!”

Making this decision was a massive gamble for Flynn. If he lost, he would lose his life. But if he won, he would obtain things far beyond his imagination!

“Have you really thought it through?” Lucas asked.

“Yes, I have!” Flynn answered firmly.

Lucas smiled. “Alright, in that case, I’ll give you ten days to prepare. Take care of everything here at the Solar Corporation and hand over your duties to someone you trust. After ten days, I will arrange for you to take over a position in Stardust Corporation’s headquarters!

“Also, I won’t let you go there alone. When the time comes, I’ll send Stanley to stay by your side and ensure your safety.”

Flynn was immediately overjoyed. During his stint in LA, he had seen with his own eyes how terrifying Stanley was. If he had an absolute expert like Stanley to protect him, it would definitely be safer for him to stay at the headquarters.

“Yes. Thank you for grooming me, Lucas. I won’t let you down!” Flynn assured firmly.

Lucas nodded with a domineering aura. He said coldly, “However, I have to make things clear beforehand. If I find out that you dare to betray me, I’ll definitely deal with you. You know me. I have at least a hundred ways to make your life feel worse than death. So you’d better remember what I just said!”
