Chapter 794 The Overlord
The moment Lucas stepped forward and revealed that he was the Master of California, Florence felt frenzied.
She never thought that the poor good-for-nothing whom she had always despised and had been trying to force to divorce Cheyenne was the Master of California, to whom she had tried every possible way to get closer. She even wanted her daughter to marry him.
She felt suffocated when she imagined what Lucas thought of her when she said those things to him.
No, it’s not my fault. It’s all because of Lucas Gray. He’s clearly my son-in-law, but he didn’t reveal his true ident.i.ty to me.
It’s not my fault!
Moreover, Lucas turned out to be the person she had been trying hard to get close to, meaning that her wish for the Master of California to become her son-in-law had already been fulfilled long ago. She didn’t have to bother about this anymore!
It was an unexpected happy event for Florence. In addition, Lucas was now not only the Master of California but also the overlord who unified all the n.o.ble and powerful families of Oregon and California. Now that his status and power were even greater than before, it was a good thing for Florence.
But the first thing she needed to deal with now was to find a way to get rid of Lucas’s hostile feelings for her as soon as possible and then improve their relations.h.i.+p so that she could reap greater benefits from him in the future!
On the other side of the seats, Asher was in a completely different mood.
“Asher, oh, Asher, I didn’t expect you to hide it so well. You actually know such an impressive man like the Master of California! This is amazing!” Lily changed her usual derisive att.i.tude for Asher and instead smiled at him fawningly with a scheming gaze.
Her boyfriend was close friends with the Master of California, or rather, the overlord of California and Oregon. This would be of great help to her social network and life in the future. As long as Lucas helped them a bit, they would no longer have to worry about being able to live in luxury for the rest of their lives! They could hold their heads high anywhere they went! Only she could bully others, and no one could bully her!
“Asher, we’ve been in a relations.h.i.+p for a long time. In fact, we should have gotten married long ago. How about this? Let’s register our marriage tomorrow afternoon!
“You don’t need to buy a house or any betrothal gifts! My family will take care of the wedding too, okay?” Lily held onto Asher’s arm shyly and said coquettishly. “Asher, since Lucas is your close friend and I’m your wife’s best friend, help me out and introduce me to him! As long as I can marry him, you’ll be my greatest benefactor, and I definitely won’t mistreat you!” Summer held onto Asher’s other arm and pleaded fawningly. “Oh, by the way, isn’t your sister still short of money for her medical treatment? My family has nothing but money. I’ll transfer you four hundred thousand to you later and also ask my father to find the best doctors to treat her!”
At the thought of this matter, Summer hurriedly took out her phone and immediately wanted to transfer the money to Asher.
“Hey, Summer, don’t go too far! Asher is my man, and his sister is naturally my sister. I will pay for her treatment. I don’t need your help!”
Lily looked at Summer, who was still holding Asher’s hand and trying to please him in front of her, and flew into a rage. She went forward to grab her hands and flung them away.
“Hey! Lily, you’re the one who’s going too far! Asher is my friend too. Why can’t I help him?” Summer retorted indignantly. At this moment, the pair of best friends who had always liked insulting others together began quarreling.
“Enough!” Asher shouted, interrupting their argument.
He looked at the two people arguing in front of him for the sake of pleasing him to make use of him.
Just ten minutes ago, Lily had treated him like a dog she could order around, scold, and beat up at will.
Lily’s best friend, Summer, was exactly the same as her. She didn’t treat Asher like a human at all but as a lowly beggar who had to rely on Lily’s family to survive.
They had even humiliated and mocked his close friend Lucas even though they knew nothing about him.
If not for his sister’s illness, he would have long been unable to tolerate a woman like Lily! Now that they knew Asher was close friends with Lucas, the new overlord of the two states, they immediately treated him differently. They undoubtedly wanted to rely on his friends.h.i.+p with Lucas to get some benefits from him.
Summer was even more ridiculous. She had delusions about marrying Lucas.
Asher would never introduce such a stupid and toxic woman to Lucas!
Lucas stood in the ring while the helmsmen of the powerful families of both states were all kneeling to him.
Axel and the others from the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation were on tenterhooks and at a complete loss for what to do.
At this moment, Lucas suddenly turned to face them, giving Axel the gooseb.u.mps.
“Mr. Gray, you won the compet.i.tion this time, and the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation is willing to concede. From now on, we will never get involved with the matters of Oregon and California!” Axel said boldly while trying his best to remain calm.
He was now terrified. If Lucas wanted to, he could kill him at any time!
Lucas glanced at him coldly. “From now on, the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation branches in California and Oregon will no longer exist!”
“Yes! I promise that the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation will stay far away from California and Oregon and never appear again!” Axel immediately agreed, his heart tense.
He was well aware that given the feud between Lucas and the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, Lucas would never allow the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation to exist in the two states.
That was unless the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation’s headquarters sent powerful experts to intervene.
Of course, it was no longer something that a branch head like Axel could take part in.
“Get lost!” Lucas said coldly.
By saying this, he was letting off the other people of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation and didn’t want to take their lives.
As if he had been spared from a death sentence, Axel hurriedly bowed. “Yes! Thank you, Mr. Gray!”
With that, he fled the venue with the rest of the members of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation.
They were no longer as domineering and condescending as they were before.
Standing on the ring with his hands behind his back, Lucas looked around at the audience full of majesty.
“From now on, Oregon and California will belong to me!” Lucas’s voice was as loud as a bell and instantly spread throughout the venue.
