1174 Giving Up Just Like That
On the other hand, Kenneth and Ray felt the opposite of Jordan.
Prior to this, they had already heard of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation. Back then, members of the California branch could basically dominate all of California. Later, there was the martial arts compet.i.tion between California and Oregon.
But now, DC was where the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation’s US headquarters was located.
There were countless strong experts here, and this person, Kenzo, whom the Waltons had invited, was definitely a powerful figure within the a.s.sociation!
The Peerless Martial a.s.sociation had just as much influence and authority in DC as the eight top families. In fact, even if the eight top families joined forces, they were no match for the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation. Generally, few people had the courage to go against the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation.
!!
Kenneth and Ray never thought that the Waltons were backed by the terrifying Peerless Martial a.s.sociation!
Like this, it would be impossible for them to replace the Waltons. Moreover, it might even cause great trouble for Lucas!
At the thought of it, Ray and Kenneth became fl.u.s.tered as grim expressions formed on their faces.
Just as they began to panic, Lucas said as calmly as ever, “It turns out the Waltons are backed by the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation. No wonder you behave like tyrants!”
Kenzo immediately narrowed his eyes and stared at Lucas.
He initially thought that Lucas would be intimidated after hearing the name of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation and even kneel to beg for forgiveness. But he didn’t expect Lucas to remain so calm and dauntless.
Those who could remain calm in the face of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation were either too ignorant to know how terrifying the a.s.sociation was or had a backing powerful enough that they didn’t fear the a.s.sociation at all.
Even the eight top families of DC couldn’t disregard the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation like Lucas was doing. Only truly powerful figures or members of the royal family could.
Lucas was only in his twenties, and he didn’t seem like a big shot of high status, so Kenzo wondered if he was a member of a certain royal family branch.
He glanced at Lucas, only to find that he couldn’t sense the aura of a martial artist from him. It was as if the person sitting right in front of him was just an ordinary person.
But even an ordinary member of a royal family branch might not be able to maintain their composure in the face of his power… Unless he wasn’t a helpless ordinary person but a powerful martial artist who was just as strong or even stronger than him!
But how was this possible?
The gaze in Kenzo’s eyes became solemn.
The reason he could attain his current achievements and become the fourth-ranked powerhouse in this a.s.sociation of powerful experts was that he was extremely talented and had countless opportunities, not to forget that he had also worked hard for decades.
But Lucas was only in his twenties. Even if he had started practicing martial arts from a tender age, Kenzo didn’t think that he could possibly be stronger than him.
Moreover, he felt that the young man next to Lucas was also extraordinary.
Unlike Lucas, who was composed and had a gaze that resembled a bottomless pit, Jordan didn’t hide his aura.
Kenzo actually felt an extremely powerful aura coming from Jordan, almost enough to rival his!
Both young men were absolutely extraordinary!
Furthermore, the young man exuding a powerful aura was standing beside Lucas, clearly standing in the position of a bodyguard or subordinate.
Since the young man sitting in the chair had such a powerful expert as his bodyguard, he must have an even more extraordinary background!
In that case, he might really be unable to kill them as he had imagined. Otherwise, he might bring disaster upon himself.
Kenzo became cautious as he said, “Young man, on account of your young age, we’ll forget about today’s matter and the feud between you and the Waltons!”
His words were already a compromise.
After Albert heard what Kenzo said, his heart skipped a beat, and shock appeared in his eyes.
He didn’t expect Kenzo, the fourth-ranked powerhouse of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, to take a step back and compromise instead of forcing Lucas to pay the price.
But Albert was wise enough not to say anything. He even quickly grabbed Clinton, who wanted to say something.
It was true that Kenzo was here to help them, but they couldn’t tell him what to do. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.
Kenzo had taken the initiative to compromise, but Lucas smiled and said, “Do you think I’m going to let it go just because you say so? Did I agree?”
“You don’t agree?” Kenzo narrowed his eyes coldly. “So what if you don’t agree? The Peerless Martial a.s.sociation supported the Waltons and pushed them to their current position. Are you really trying to take their a.s.sets away from us?”
Lucas said with a smile, “No, you’re wrong. I’m buying them, not s.n.a.t.c.hing them.”
Kenzo sneered. “I heard everything when I was outside. You want to buy all the Waltons’ a.s.sets for merely three billion dollars. How is that any different from s.n.a.t.c.hing? Do you think the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation is a pushover?
“I’m warning you. I don’t care what your ident.i.ty is, but going against the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation is never a wise choice!”
Seeing Kenzo’s gloomy expression, Kenneth and Ray were extremely nervous. Standing behind Lucas, they clenched their fists.
Albert, Clinton, and Nick had antic.i.p.ation on their faces, wis.h.i.+ng that Lucas would court death further so that Kenzo would take him down!
Lucas looked at Kenzo indifferently. “I can’t be bothered to waste my breath on this nonsense with you. If you’re just here to say nonsense to me, then you can get lost now that you’re done!”
Lucas’s words immediately dumbfounded everyone in the room except for Jordan!
He was a terrifying top powerhouse of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation!
Lucas actually had the audacity to speak to him like this. How daring!
After being shocked, the Waltons were immediately ecstatic.
Indeed, the more wayward Lucas behaved, the more likely he would anger Kenzo and eventually suffer a terrible fate!
They could already sense the burning fury coming from Kenzo!
Lucas would be in trouble soon!
