Chapter 762 - Agreeing To The Bet

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

It was dead silent in the spacious conference hall.

Everyone stared at Lewis and the two experts on the floor who had been easily defeated.

‘As Noah said before, how could the personal bodyguards of the two most powerful helmsmen of California be ordinary?

But Lewis had defeated these two experts in a two-on-one situation without breaking a sweat!

In that case, how terrifying was Lewis’s strength?

While the crowd was shocked, some quick-witted people immediately began to praise him.

“As expected of Master Lewis. Such incredible martial arts skills!”

“Even the two top experts from California couldn’t lay a finger on Master Lewis. Master Lewis is truly amazing!”

“Yes, as long as Master Lewis is around, even the Peerless Martial Association won’t be a match for him!”

“Master Lewis will undoubtedly be the winner of the martial arts competition on October 15th!”

Amid the praises of the crowd, Lewis looked at Edmund and Damon with pride and contempt written all over his face.

Edmun4d felt furious and vexed after seeing Iron Wolf, his longtime bodyguard who had worked for him for years, get beaten up into a pulp by Master Lewis.

Seeing how smug Lewis was, he couldn’t help saying, “You’ve merely defeated my bodyguard. Is this worth being so proud of? Yes, I admit that the Coles’ experts are no match for you, but Mr. Gray is the strongest in California!

“Wait until you surpass Mr. Gray before you show off! But I don’t think you will have this chance!”

Damon said, “Yes, Mr. Gray is the strongest person in California, and his power is beyond your imagination!”

But after the two of them finished speaking, many people began mocking them.

“Hah, who doesn’t know how to brag? We can’t take your word for it just because you say he’s strong. Who knows what his true abilities are?”

“Surely it’s not that you people from California can’t afford to lose, right? If you have what it takes, get your Mr. Gray to come here and give us an eyeopener. Let’s see how powerful he really is.”

“Haha, the Mr. Gray they’re talking about is the Master of California. I’m really curious about how powerful he is. I hope these people aren’t just bragging about him.”

“Didn’t you say that the Master of California would come soon? How come he hasn’t appeared yet? Is he too scared to come?”

The helmsmen of all the powerful families in Oregon were full of contempt and mockery.

Edmund and Damon were both infuriated. But Lucas hadn’t arrived, so no matter what they said, it wouldn’t be convincing.

Only after these people witnessed Lucas’s strength with their own eyes would they know how ridiculous their mockery was!

Noah was elated as he admired the look of frustration on the faces of these two helmsmen.

“Mrr. Cole, Mr. Parker, it seems you’re still unconvinced. How about we make a bet?” Noah smiled.

“What trick are you trying to play?” Edmund snapped in displeasure.

Noah said with a raised brow, “Actually, we all know that the people we need to deal with the most urgently now is the Peerless Martial Association. In that case, let’s make a bet on who will defeat the Peerless Martial Association!

“If the people of Oregon defeat the Peerless Martial Association, the Campbells will be the overlord of California and Oregon from now on. All the families in both states will have to submit to us!

“But if you people of California defeat the Peerless Martial Association, both states will bow down and pledge allegiance to the Coles! What do you think of this bet?”

It wasn’t that Noah suddenly became generous and wanted to give the families of California a chance. But rather, he felt that it wouldn’t be ideal to completely fall out with them and have internal strife before the showdown with the Peerless Martial Association. Thus, he had to come up with a reason to

make them calm down for the time being.

But Noah had a lot of faith in Lewis’s strength, and he believed that Lewis would be the ultimate winner. Thus, there was no harm in giving them an empty promise for now.

After hearing Noah’s proposal, Edmund sneered and immediately agreed. “Okay, that’s what you said. I just hope you’ll keep your word when the time comes!”

Noah burst into laughter. “Haha, the helmsmen of so many powerful families are witnessing it. Are you still afraid that I will deny it?

“Anyway, on October 15th, the families of California and Oregon will each send a team. Whoever wins in the end will be the hegemon of the two states!”

There was a look of certainty on his face.

Edmund mocked, “You’re quite talkative now, but don’t cry when the time comes!”

“Cry? Hah, you can say those words when someone from the Coles defeats Master Lewis. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll end up embarrassing yourself when the time comes!” Noah retorted, refusing to show any weakness.

Lewis couldn’t be bothered to hear them talk. He simply sneered and said, “On the day of the competition, I’ll kill all the people sent by the Peerless Martial Association! As for the others, we don’t have to bother about them at all!”

He was really domineering to say that he would kill every person sent by the Peerless Martial Association. Everyone’s jaws dropped.

What kind of a terrifying existence was the Peerless Martial Association?!

Lewis actually had the confidence to say that.

His courage alone made the countless people present bow down to him!

“Haha, how ridiculous!” A hoarse voice full of ridicule suddenly spread from a dark corner of the conference hall.

“Who’s there?!” Noah shouted angrily.

Everyone looked over at the corner.

slender figure slowly walked out from the dark shadows in the corner. He was wearing black compression wear.

If he hadn’t taken the initiative to speak, the people present wouldn’t have noticed when he had stealthily entered and how long he had been lurking in the corner.

The man in black ignored Noah’s question and instead turned to look at Lewis.

“You just said that you’d kill any member of the Peerless Martial Association that you see, right?”

His eyes were like a poisonous snake as he stared intently at Lewis’s face..
