Chapter 789 Who Dies?
“You’re the Master of California? Lucas Gray?” Julian narrowed his eyes and sized Lucas up with a sharp gaze.
This was the first time he saw the enemy who had killed his brother and who was also the opponent preventing the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation from dominating California.
Julian found that Lucas was indeed young, and he was exuding a vigorous vitality from head to toe. The collagen and muscles of his body were much more delicate than the masters he usually saw.
But since this young man possessed the strength to kill his brother Jude and make the helmsmen of dozens of top families of California acknowledge him as their master, he definitely wasn’t simple.
However, even though Lucas was standing right in front of Julian, Julian couldn’t sense any pressure or aura coming from him, as if he was facing only an ordinary person.
If he ran into him elsewhere, Julian probably wouldn’t have paid much attention to him.
But this just showed how terrifying Lucas was!
Julian couldn’t see through Lucas’s true strength at all. Facing Lucas, Julian felt as if he was facing an unfathomable, bottomless pool.
This made Julian keep his guard up.
“Not bad,” Lucas said lightly, seemingly not taking Julian seriously at all.
Anger surged in Julian’s heart.
As a top expert of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation’s headquarters, he had always been praised and admired by others. Never had he faced a young man speak to him with such nonchalance.
“Lucas Gray, let me ask you. Did you kill my brother Jude?” Julian stared intently into Lucas’s eyes.
Lucas raised his eyebrows. He reckoned that Julian must have appeared in California this time because of Jude.
When Lucas confronted the Taylors at their home to ask for the whereabouts of Karen, they had specially invited Jude from the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation over to deal with him. But he ended up getting killed by Lucas.
From the day the Taylors were wiped out overnight, Lucas knew that the person who had eradicated the entire Taylor family would confront him sooner or later.
Lucas didn’t intend to evade Julian’s question and instead nodded calmly. “Yes. He tried to kill me, but unfortunately, he was too incompetent and died.”
Julian immediately flew into a rage, and two rays of resentment shot out of his eyes as he glowered at Lucas.
“It’s indeed you! Since you’ve killed my brother, I will never let you off! You will die in this ring today!”
remember you saying yourself just a few minutes ago that those who are incompetent deserve to die. Since your brother tried to kill me, he deserves to be killed by me.
“But the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation must have already gotten used to double standards. So, only you can bully others, but others aren’t allowed to resist you? “For example, what does the compet.i.tion today and the Master of California have to do with you? Since you insist on interfering and taking control of California and Oregon, I will definitely make sure your plans fail today!”
Sternness appeared in Lucas’s eyes.
On the surface, the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation claimed that they wouldn’t interfere with the affairs of top families. But in fact, they had never stopped interfering and taking control.
For example, the Taylors, whom Julian had slaughtered, had become one of the four major families in Orange County due to the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation and the help they had rendered in the filthy business of sending beautiful women to Orange County for prost.i.tution.
The dark and secretive prost.i.tution network had spread throughout California and even to other states.
Based on this alone, Lucas wouldn’t let off the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, which harmed innocent girls and used them for filthy transactions.
Now that the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation had taken the initiative to stir up trouble here in California, Lucas simply decided to take this opportunity to get rid of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation from California completely!
“Kid, you’re really arrogant!” Julian roared with a resentful gaze. “Hmph, don’t get too smug. You’re going to face the same fate as the two people who died just now! Go to h.e.l.l and repent to my brother!”
Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly swayed and turned into a streak that appeared beside Lucas almost instantaneously.
“Shameless! How dare you sneak attack?!” In the audience, Edmund stood up and shouted furiously.
It was a formal martial arts match. Even though the host didn’t play a significant role, the match should have at least begun after he announced the start.
But Julian clearly launched an attack before the host called for them to begin. This was a blatant sneak attack.
Someone with slow reactions would have probably been killed by Julian’s sudden sneak attack!
But Julian’s lightning-fast sneak attack naturally didn’t cause any harm to Lucas.
With Lucas’s strength, he could easily kill Julian within seconds, so avoiding this attack was naturally a piece of cake.
“Wow! Julian’s punch was so fast! He struck before the host even announced the start. Is that allowed?”
“Haven’t you heard the saying, rules are meant for the majority? In the eyes of top experts like Julian York of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, strength is everything, and the last man standing on the stage is the winner. What are rules?”
“Look! Mr. Gray dodged this punch! It seems that he’s worthy of the t.i.tle of the Master of California. He’s very fast!”
“But Julian has already killed two very strong experts and basically crushed them easily. As for Mr. Gray… Well, I’m trying to belittle him, but he’s still too young after all. Even if he started practicing martial arts since he was a child, he couldn’t have trained for more than twenty years. But Julian York has been practicing martial arts for decades. There’s no way Lucas Gray is going to win!”
“I hope that Mr. Gray, the Master of California, can win. But Julian York is indisputably powerful. Mr. Gray really seems to be in a dangerous predicament!”
