Chapter 776 Gathering at the Venue
Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios
Asher really couldn’t stand it any longer. He shouted furiously, “Lily, shut up! Lucas didn’t offend you. Why do you keep mocking him? If you do this again, don’t bla
for being rude to you!”
“Asher, how dare you threaten my best friend? Who gave you the guts?” Lily’s best friend, Sumr, stood up for Lily.
“You… don’t go too far!” Asher said with a sullen expression through gritted teeth.
Seeing that Asher seed to be really angry, Lily finally pulled Sumr’s hand and rolled her eyes. “Hmph, do you think I like wasting my ti with a loser? Sumr, let’s go
in!”
After the two of them vanished at the entrance, Asher looked at Lucas apologetically and said with embarrassnt, “Lucas, I’m really…”
He was initially really excited to see Lucas, and he also wanted to help Lucas get inside the venue. However, he not only failed to help him, but he even caused him to be
humiliated by his girlfriend. Asher was so embarrassed that he didn’t dare to speak to Lucas again.
Lucas smiled. “Enough. I know you’re my buddy, and that’s enough. Well, the competition is about to start soon. Go inside first! Rest assured. I’ll look for you later!”
Seeing that Lucas wasn’t angry, Asher felt slightly better.
“Okay, buddy, I’ll wait for you inside. But if you really can’t get in, it doesn’t matter. After the competition is over, we can find another place to catch up!”
Asher patted Lucas’s shoulder and then entered the expo center.
Lucas looked at Asher’s back and sighed.
Back in high school, Asher had been happy and straightforward. But now, he seed depressed and subservient. Although he was still handso and suave, he was no
longer as spirited as when he was younger.
Besides, he and his arrogant girlfriend didn’t seem like an ordinary couple.
But Lucas hadn’t t Asher for nearly a decade, and he wasn’t clear about his current situation. It would be better to ask him about it when they t again another ti.
Lucas looked at his watch and saw that it was already 8:40 p.m. There were still 20 minutes before the tournant officially began.
“Lucas!”
He was about to enter when a crisp voice called out to him from behind.
Lucas turned around and saw a beautiful young girl walking toward him joyfully. It was Alexis, the heiress of the Cole family.
Lucas smiled and nodded at her. He had always had a good impression of her.
“Greetings, Mr. Gray!”
“Greetings, Mr. Gray.”
Edmund and Clent, a few steps behind Alexis, imdiately walked over to greet Lucas.
They didn’t co alone either. Apart from the two bodyguards who didn’t leave their sides, there was also another expert whom Lucas had never seen before.
Originally, the Coles’ top expert was Iron Wolf. But since he got seriously injured by Lewis at the Campbells’ conference, he could no longer represent the Coles to
participate in this competition. So this ti, it was a middle-aged man following Edmund.
The man, whose face was thin, had his lower lip pursed and his forehead furrowed deeply. He was clearly a man of few words who was not to be provoked.
Lucas could sense the powerful aura coming from the middle-aged man, who was at least much stronger than Iron Wolf.
This middle-aged man should be the expert that Edmund had spent a lot of money to hire in the last few days.
“Mr. Gray, Mr. Cole, Mr. Parker!”
At this mont, there were a few more greetings. The people who ca this ti were all people Lucas knew. They were Damon Parker and his grandson Kenneth.
They were all acquaintances.
There were also several other experts among the Parkers’ team, whom Lucas hadn’t seen before. But in terms of aura, they were inferior to the middle-aged man from the
Coles.
It clearly wasn’t that easy to find more powerhouses within seven days.
Strictly speaking, as long as Lucas represented California and won against the experts sent by the Peerless Martial Association, he would erge victorious and beco the
overlord of both California and Oregon.
But for safety precautions and also to prove to the people of Oregon and the Peerless Martial Association that there were powerhouses in California too, the families ca
to a consensus to each bring an expert.
Although the experts they prepared might not be able to join the competition, they at least couldn’t lose out in terms of montum.
“Ah, Mr. Gray, everyone, you’ve arrived earlier than !” Imdiately afterward, Bruce appeared with Connor and the Hales.
These people, together with their families’ descendants, bodyguards, and experts they brought, added up to more than twenty people.
At first, the people walking by didn’t notice anything wrong. But after soone saw Damon, Edmund, Connor, and other famous bigwigs of California, they were all
astonished.
It was really shocking that these bigwigs, who usually rarely made an appearance, were now all gathered around a young man and smiling at him gently.
“It’s my first ti seeing these big shots up close! The tens of thousands of dollars I spent on buying two tickets to co watch this competition were worth it.”
“Yes, Edmund Cole and Damon Parker are both here! So are Connor Hale and Bruce Hale! Just getting to see these big shots together makes my trip this ti worthwhile!”
“But what is the origin of the young man in the middle? He must have a great status for these helmsn to surround him. Do any of you know this young man?”
“Not only are they surrounding him, but they seem very respectful toward him too. This is amazing! Who exactly is he?”
There were many people speculating about Lucas’s identity.
Soone also thought of sothing and suddenly said excitedly, “Surely this young man isn’t the legendary Master of California, right? Doesn’t everyone say that the
Master of California is also very young? I’m guessing it’s him!”
“What? He’s the legendary Master of California? But… but look at the way he’s dressed. He looks so ordinary.”
“What do you know? This is the style of a master! People at his level don’t need to dress in luxurious clothing to prove their status. Just look at his aura. It’s absolutely
incredible!”
For so ti, countless voices of speculation and envious gazes landed on Lucas.
Lucas was already standing in the center of the helmsn, and many passersby caught wind of the situation and rushed over to watch. All of a sudden, this small area
beca extrely lively.
“Hah. Mr. Gray, you’re really ostentatious!” A mocking voice suddenly ca from the crowd..
