Chapter 726: Refusal To Join
Axel’s words immediately shocked everyone.
No one had expected that Axel wanted Lucas to join the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation.
Even Lucas was rather surprised as he immediately looked at Axel with a strange expression. “You want me to join the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation and become one of you?”
Axel nodded with a smile. “Yes! The Peerless Martial a.s.sociation is an extremely large organization with branches all over the world. We’re definitely more powerful than the eight families in DC! So even if the Smiths want to find trouble with you, they definitely won’t be able to do anything to you when you’re a member of the a.s.sociation.
“In addition, the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation attaches great importance to martial arts. Your skills are very good, so once you join us, I believe that you’ll be able to surpa.s.s my position in a few years and even directly be able to enter the headquarters to hold great power!
“At that time, whether it’s wealth, power, status, beautiful women, or anything else, you can have it all! Isn’t this the life all men dream of?” Axel said to tempt him.
Didn’t all people work hard for these things?
Axel believed that Lucas was an extremely ambitious man, and he was certain that Lucas would be tempted by his conditions!
Countless people wanted to join the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation every year just so that they could enjoy these privileges. Unfortunately, most people didn’t qualify to join.
For example, many people present were green with envy after hearing Axel’s invitation to Lucas.
If they could, they also hoped to join such a powerful organization like the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation. But unfortunately, they knew that they didn’t have the qualifications to do so.
Axel was still calculating many things in his mind. Once Lucas joined the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, it was basically the same as taking all the families in California with him. Given Lucas’s power, he would definitely enter the headquarters of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation in the future and hold great power. When the time came, it would be time to reap the most benefits for himself.
Axel never even considered the possibility that Lucas would reject him. So after hearing Lucas’s following words, he was stunned as he rubbed his ears in disbelief. “What did you just say?”
“I said,” Lucas looked at him and repeated word for word, “I’m not interested in joining you guys.”
Axel’s face immediately changed slightly.
He had never thought that Lucas would reject him and refuse to join the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation!
This was something that many could only dream of, yet Lucas actually didn’t know any better!
Indeed, Axel admitted that Lucas had great strength. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have thought of getting Lucas to join. But one persons’ strength was indeed limited. Does he really think that he can ignore all other forces just because he’s good at martial arts?
Axel’s face darkened as he said with extreme displeasure, “Lucas Gray, do you know what you’re turning down? The invitation to join the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation isn’t extended to anyone.”
“Mr. Fox, Mr. Gray has already said that he doesn’t want to join the a.s.sociation. Why do you have to be so overbearing?” Edmund stepped forward and spoke up for Lucas.
In fact, he felt rather annoyed.
Lucas was the captain of the Falcon Regiment and t.i.tled the G.o.d of War. Axel had to be dreaming by asking Lucas to pledge allegiance to the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation!
“I’m asking Lucas Gray. Shut up!” Axel roared at Edmund.
Lucas’s refusal had already taken him by surprise and completely disrupted his future plans. Axel was extremely unhappy, and Edmund’s sudden interruption made him feel even worse.
Edmund had wanted to say something. But after seeing that Axel was clearly enraged, he didn’t want to cause any more trouble for Lucas, so he could only stand by indignantly without saying anything.
“Lucas Gray, I’ll ask you one last time. Are you really going to turn down my invitation to join the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation? After today, I won’t give you another chance even if you want to join in the future. You’d better think this through!” Axel said threateningly.
If Lucas refused to join the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, all of the wishful plans Axel had made in his head would fall through. In fact, he would even have to try and s.n.a.t.c.h the position of California’s hegemon from Lucas.
Lucas would either become a member of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation or an enemy of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation!
In response to Axel’s threat, Lucas merely said, “Get lost!”
His words stunned everyone!
No one expected Lucas to speak so rudely to the head of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation’s California Branch and tell him to get lost.
Axel was dumbfounded too. When he reacted, he was boiling with fury. “Punk, what did you say?!”
As the head of the California branch of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, he enjoyed the respect of many people. But now, a young man in his twenties actually reprimanded him! It was shameful!
A terrifying murderous intent quickly gathered in Axel’s eyes as he glowered at Lucas. The ten or so black-clothed men in Peerless Martial a.s.sociation uniforms behind him also flew into a rage, and they glared at Lucas with the intention of starting a fight as soon as Axel issued an order.
As experts of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, they could easily defeat the bodyguards of several top families, and they were confident that the ten of them could easily defeat Lucas!
Facing these Peerless Martial a.s.sociation experts glaring at him, Lucas said indifferently without batting an eyelid, “I told you to get lost. Didn’t you hear me clearly?”
…
There was a dead silence.
Many people in the venue closed their eyes, not daring to look at the scene in front of them anymore.
How audacious of Lucas Gray. He has definitely angered Axel.
What’s going to happen next?
Will Lucas Gray and the people of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation really get into a fight here?
In fact, these families had just pledged their allegiance to Lucas, so they didn’t want to see both parties fighting.
If Lucas won, he would become the arch nemesis of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, and there would probably be constant turmoil in the future.
But if Lucas lost, the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation would probably find trouble with those loyal to him.
What exactly would happen next?
Everyone wondered to themselves in fear..
