Chapter 2813 - 3: Ben Lucas’s Weakness

Chapter 2813: Chapter 3: Ben Lucas’s Weakness

The driver Liam, who just drove, is both a guard and a part-time driver.

Normally, people are not allowed into the small building, except for the nanny who occasionally comes in to clean and cook. The entire third floor of the small building is basically only occupied by Ben Lucas and Harrison Lucas.

Harrison Lucas knows that Ben Lucas is now going to an appointment to discuss a joint training combat plan with another military zone.

Ordinarily, such matters should not require Major General Ben Lucas to attend.

They refer to it as a meeting, but after the meeting, drinking is inevitable as part of social obligations.

And the leader of the other military zone they are collaborating with was once a comrade of Mr. Lucas.

Now during non-mission periods, such encounters among comrades are particularly exciting for the other party, inevitably leading them to ply Mr. Lucas with alcohol.

And in a place like the military headquarters, when on assignments or on the battlefield, they are brothers.

Even the eldest son of the Lucas family, who doesn’t like strangers and isn’t overly sociable, will never put on airs of the Lucas family nor express aloofness towards those who sacrifice on the battlefield.

And this is precisely what Harrison Lucas is concerned about.

The eldest son of their family is almost perfect, in every way – yet nobody is perfect, and Ben Lucas has a fatal weakness despite his strength.

And this weakness, unknown to others, is crystal clear to Harrison since he has been by Ben’s side since childhood.

That is — Mr. Lucas has a poor tolerance for alcohol, astonishingly poor.

This poor tolerance doesn’t manifest as being drunk after one drink but has a deeper expression.

From the outside, Mr. Lucas seems to have marvelous tolerance; no matter how much he drinks, he remains calm and sober, unperturbed even after a thousand drinks.

But in reality, as soon as he takes the first sip, Mr. Lucas is almost a ’fake person’.

He sits there while his consciousness floats off somewhere unknown.

He wakes up the next day, completely forgetting the events of the previous day.

Moreover, he cannot speak — because if he speaks, who knows what he might say.

Fortunately, special forces receive special training in the military.

To prevent enemy spies from infiltrating the headquarters or to ensure silence under interrogation during assignments, they undergo counter-interrogation training.

It so happens that Ben Lucas, having special forces background, automatically activates his body’s counter-interrogation instincts after drinking, sitting there without uttering a single word, not revealing anything further.

So, in the eyes of others, Major General Lucas appears formidable.

No matter how much he drinks, he never loses composure nor speaks nonsense, nor does he laugh and frolic; he’s practically the military’s thousand-drink sober man!

...

Harrison Lucas is now in the kitchen preparing hangover soup for Mr. Lucas, ready for him whenever he returns.

"Mr. Lucas, why doesn’t he take me along to shield him from the drinks..." Harrison mutters to himself.

Unintentionally, a certain image floats through his mind, causing his face to flush from the cheeks to the ears.

It was Ben Lucas as a child when he accidentally drank alcohol for the first time, embracing ’him,’ kissing while talking – a rare sight.

Rapidly shaking his head, he shakes those ridiculous images from his mind.

The black-haired girl feels her cheeks growing increasingly warm, ’he’ dares not continue standing around the stove, quickly turning off the heat and heading to the bathroom.

Closing the door, splashing water from the basin onto his face, the fiery burning sensation gradually cools down.

Harrison Lucas lifts his gaze, unexpectedly seeing in the mirror a delicate and fair face, a hint of daze in his eyes.

That is his face, or rather, her face.

Indeed, Harrison Lucas is actually a girl... proclaimed by the former Benjamin Lucas IX to have a son, raised as a boy!
