Chapter 781 - Blowing Your Trumpet First

Byron was a top expert that Edmund had hired from abroad at a high price.

He rarely appeared in the nation, so very few people knew his name. But he was an internationally renowned expert specialized in killing. He had successfully completed countless missions, and many experts had died at his hands.

Edmund originally thought that Lucas might not need to fight in this competition because he had found a powerful expert like Byron.

But after looking at Byron’s expression, Edmund knew that Julian, the expert from the Peerless Martial Association’s headquarters, was indeed incredibly powerful, and even Byron wasn’t certain of defeating him.

“Just do your best!” This was the only thing Edmund could say in the end.

If Byron was defeated, Lucas was likely the only one who could take over.

While they were talking, Julian led the people from the Peerless Martial Association and sat down at the VIP seats reserved for them.

After taking his seat, Julian immediately looked at the VIP seats for California.

But after looking around, he frowned slightly.

Reason being, Lucas wasn’t among these people.

The reason he came to California and asked the people of the California branch of the Peerless Martial Association to organize this competition was not only to become the overlord of California and Oregon but, more importantly, to kill Lucas and avenge his brother Jude.

Lucas could be considered Julian’s most important opponent in today’s competition.

But Lucas didn’t even show up!

Axel Fox, the head of the Peerless Martial Association’s California branch, had the same thoughts as Julian. He had deliberately tricked Julian into coming here from the Peerless Martial Association’s headquarters to watch him trample all over Lucas or even kill him. Only then could he relieve his hatred.

But Lucas was not at the venue.

“Gentlemen of California, the competition is about to start. Why hasn’t Mr. Gray, whom all of you admire, appeared yet?” Axel stood up and said contemptuously to the people seated at the VIP seats for California. “Is the Master of California scared and hiding, or has he fled from the scene like those people you found?”

He was an expert deliberately raising his voice to humiliate Lucas, so his mocking voice immediately spread throughout the venue.

There was an uproar!

The helmsmen of the top families of California looked extremely sullen.

Just now, the experts that many families of California had found were frightened and had run away after hearing that Mr. Alonso, the head of the Octa Faction, was here.

Now that Axel brought up this humiliating matter and even mocked Lucas, they felt even more embarrassed.

The people from Oregon began mocking and laughing without restraint.

“So, he’s too scared to appear. It seems the Master of California is no big deal!” Noah laughed out loud with contempt written all over his face.

‘Mr. Fox, it seems the person who fled from the exchange venue that day after being shouted at by Mr. Gray was you, right? Since you aren’t scared and hiding, why would Mr. Gray hide?” Edmund sneered at Axel.

Since Lucas wanted to keep what had happened at the Elite Business Exchange a secret, no one spread the news about Axel bringing a group of experts from the Peerless Martial Association with him, only to be defeated by Lucas.

But now, Axel was mocking Lucas in public, so Edmund wasn’t afraid of exposing Axel in public and putting him to shame.

Sure enough, as soon as Axel heard this, what had occurred at the Elite Business Exchange immediately surfaced in his mind, causing his face to sink.

Edmund didn’t care how he looked and immediately targeted Noah.

“And you, the helmsman of the Campbells, a week ago, your family’s expert was as weak as a chicken in front of the Peerless Martial Association. If Mr. Gray hadn’t appeared in time and killed the Peerless Martial Association’s expert, I’m afraid your family would have disappeared that day! Where do you get the courage to mock Mr. Gray?!

“If Mr. Gray is mediocre, the Campbells are dog shit!” Edmund cursed at Noah without mercy.

His words, and the amount of information revealed in them, immediately sparked an uproar in the venue.

“Oh my God! The helmsman of the Coles ridiculed the head of the Peerless Martial Association’s California branch. It looks like there’s definitely going to be a good show today!”

“That’s not all! It turns out that Mr. Gray, the Master of California, has already faced Axel Fox before, and he even chased him out by shouting at him. How shocking!”

“Also, Mr. Gray actually killed the Peerless Martial Association’s strongest expert in Oregon? What’s going on?”

“Mr. Gray is really powerful! Since he’s so strong, he definitely won’t

Summer was so excited that her face turned red, and she patted Lily’s hand repeatedly. “Did you hear that? As expected of the man I like, he even killed an expert of the Peerless Martial Association. How domineering!

“How cool. I must marry him!”

Lily also praised with a look of admiration, “Yeah! A man like the Master of California is truly a real man at the top!’

Even Asher couldn’t help sighing. “The Master of California is indeed a real man!”

Sitting at the side, Lucas had a subtle expression on his face.

Florence, sitting near the front row of priority seats, listened to the awe and praises about the Master of California with a proud look on her face.

After all, the Master of California was the outstanding man she had chosen for her daughter.

As long as the Master of California emerged victorious today, he would become the overlord of California and Oregon, increasing his status.

Florence just needed to find the right opportunity to let Cheyenne marry the Master of California, and she would be given the greatest credit by the Howards and become the mother-in-law of the Master of California!

Power, status, and all the other things she wanted would be close at hand!

Thus, she was determined to achieve her goal no matter what!
