Chapter 793 Overlords of Two States
With the sudden changes in the ring, many people couldn’t help screaming in horror.
In the VIP seats, Edmund, Damon, Bruce, and the others imdiately stood up with anxious and nervous expressions on their faces, wishing they could lash out at Julian.
Everyone knew that today’s event was a martial arts competition held in the San Francisco International Expo Center in the na of fairness and equality. It was agreed in advance that all participants would compete against each other with their own abilities without using any weapons.
However, Julian of the Peerless Martial Association had not only taken out a weapon that he had hidden, but he even sneak attacked, which was utterly disgraceful! Facing this sudden and swift blow, Lucas seed to be frozen in place and unable to react.
A trace of maniacal euphoria appeared in Julian’s eyes.
So what if Lucas was much stronger than him?
He was confident Lucas would soon die and that he would beco the final winner!
The people in the audience would have to admit that he won and acknowledge his status even if they were indignant!
The winner was king! This was an unchanging truth!
But the mont before the sharp edge of the dagger in his hand touched Lucas, Julian’s pupils constricted, and his body imdiately froze.
Lucas was standing in front of him, but no matter what, he couldn’t push the dagger any farther!
A soft sound of air leaking spread from Julian’s neck.
He stretched out his hand in bewildernt and touched his neck, only to see bright red blood covering his hand.
Blood was gushing out of Julian’s throat endlessly like a fountain.
“Uh… You…” Before Julian could finish, his body could no longer persist and suddenly fell to the floor.
Even when he died, he kept his eyes wide open unwillingly.
At this mont, the audience beca dead silent!
No one expected that Julian, who was so domineering and extre that he had killed two experts of Oregon and California, would die in Lucas’s hands!
Seeing that Lucas won, the helmsn of the top families of California were excited and even in awe of him.
Although Lucas had used his strength and power to gain the allegiance of more than sixty top families in California, they now truly understood how powerful he was! Most people from Oregon looked extrely shocked as they all cast their gazes on the determined and upright figure standing in the ring If there were no other accidents, the young man in the ring would also beco the overlord of Oregon!
Everyone looked extrely gloomy. In particular, Axel, the head of the Peerless Martial Association’s California branch, had already turned pale. A sudden chill ran down his spine, his entire body frozen, and his fingers were trembling underneath his sleeves.
Julian was an absolute powerhouse who ranked among the top in the Peerless Martial Association. He was far stronger than Axel. This was why Axel had baited him into coming to California to deal with Lucas.
But he could have never imagined that a powerhouse like Julian would actually die in Lucas’s hands!
Before Julian died, he had even knelt down in front of Lucas. It was simply unbelievable!
How strong was Lucas to be able to make Julian, who had always been so high and mighty, do this in public without any regard for his pride?
The more he thought about it, the more terrified Axel felt.
He had even thought of taking a terrifying existence like Lucas under his command and getting him to work for him. Later, he had even tried to kill him. The thought of these things made Axel feel as if his body was drenched in cold sweat. “The… the winner of this match is Mr. Gray from California!” Amid the silence, the unlucky host stamred and announced the end of this competition.
“Good! As expected of Mr. Gray, he’s amazing!” Edmund was the first to stand up. He applauded loudly, his face full of excitent.
The others seed to wake up from their dreams, and they all clapped to congratulate Lucas on his victory.
Despite their reluctance, the top families of Oregon could only follow suit to clap and congratulate him perfunctorily.
“Mr. Campbell, you haven’t forgotten our bet, have you?” Edmund suddenly turned to Noah and grinned.
Noah’s face flushed red with exasperation, awkwardness, and regret. He felt complicated emotions.
A week ago, he had thought that Lewis, the expert who worked for the Campbells, could defeat the powerhouses of the Peerless Martial Association. Thus, he had initiated the bet with Edmund, which stipulated that whoever defeated the Peerless Martial Association would beco the overlord of both Oregon and California.
But Lewis, whom the Campbells had high expectations for, had long died in the hands of the Peerless Martial Association. Paul Alonso, the person Noah had painstakingly hired at a high price, had also been killed by Julian. In the end, Lucas was the winner of the competition.
Not only did he lose two experts, but he even had to submit to soone else. It was way too humiliating to him!
The feeling of paving the way for soone else’s success made Noah regret it so much that he wished he could vomit blood.
Had he known this would happen, he would never have proposed the bet!
He was extrely unwilling to accept the terms of the bet, but now that there were nearly 30,000 people watching, he couldn’t say that he regretted his actions and renege. “Hah, do I need you to say it?” Noah glowered at Edmund furiously before walking away from the VIP seats and quickly getting down on one knee while facing the ring. He said loudly, “Mr. Gray, you’re indeed a rare powerhouse. The Campbells are willing to acknowledge you as our leader!”
His actions imdiately took Edmund, who thought that he would go back on his word, by surprise.
Moreover, as the strongest family in Oregon nowadays, the Campbells were extrely influential in the state.
Seeing the helmsman of the Campbells, Noah, already pledging allegiance to Lucas, the other powerful families of Oregon naturally didn’t dare to have other thoughts.
Even if they had those intentions, it was pointless because no one dared to show any disobedience to Lucas’s power. “The Alcotts are willing to plead allegiance to Mr. Gray!”
“The Kellers are willing to plead allegiance to Mr. Gray!”
“The Masons are willing to plead allegiance to Mr. Gray!”
“The Johnsons are willing to plead allegiance to Mr. Gray!”
All of a sudden, the fifty-odd helmsn of top Oregon families also got down on one knee to pledge allegiance to Lucas.
The helmsn of the top California families also got down on one knee.
This scene was extrely shocking and greatly stimulated the audience.
In a seat not far away, Florence looked at the scene in front of her with an extrely sullen expression. She clenched her fists tightly, so much so that she didn’t even know that she had broken a long fingernail.
