Lucas frowned, pondering why the Peerless Martial Association would suddenly make a move against the Taylors, who were almost considered their subordinates. But he suddenly recalled something that he had almost forgotten.
‘When he went to the Taylor residence to ask about Karen’s whereabouts previously, he had gotten into a conflict with the Taylors and had also killed an expert named Jude of the Peerless Martial Association.
At the time, the Taylors were afraid of the strength he showed, and they were also afraid that the Peerless Martial Association would know about it and not let them go. Thus, they took the initiative to dispose of Jude’s corpse and tallied their statements.
Since the Taylors had been exterminated by the Peerless Martial Association, it meant that it was very likely that the matter had been exposed.
Other than that, Lucas couldn’t find any other reason to explain the extermination of the Taylors.
Moreover, in that case, the other party probably wouldn’t let him off either.
Lucas took a sip of tea and said indifferently, “It seems that this is likely the reason, and they are indeed coming for me.”
Edmund’s heart trembled, and he became a little nervous. “Then, what should we do? Based on the video, it seems that that person is terrifyingly powerful. I’m afraid he’s a high-level member of the Peerless Martial Association. If he’s really coming for you, then you’re in an extremely dangerous position!”
Although Lucas was very powerful too, he was facing a top expert of the Peerless Martial Association. Most importantly, they didn’t know how many people that expert had brought with him. If a team of strong powerhouses attacked Lucas, Lucas might not be able to handle it.
Edmund was really worried that Lucas would be in danger because of this.
Lucas smiled faintly. “It’s okay. After annihilating the Taylors, that person didn’t come to me immediately, so he must have some concerns. But no matter who he is, I will definitely teach him an unforgettable lesson as long as he dares to appear in front of me!”
His words were extremely confident.
It was as if he didn’t take any strong enemy seriously at all.
Besides, Lucas indeed had the confidence!
If he couldn’t even deal with a few Peerless Martial Association experts, how could he have become the leader of the Falcon Regiment and hold the title of the invincible God of War?
Edmund remembered Lucas’s identity. A sense of pride immediately rose in his heart, and he felt much less nervous than before.
Knock-knock.
At this moment, someone outside suddenly knocked twice on the door of the chairman’s office. An assistant walked in and handed a large red invitation card to Lucas respectfully.
“Chairman, this is an invitation someone just sent. He wanted me to ensure that I deliver it to you personally,” the assistant said carefully.
Lucas nodded, took it, and gestured for the assistant to go out.
Looking at the words ‘Peerless Martial Association’ printed on the invitation card, followed by the contents of the invitation, Lucas chuckled.
“Mr. Gray, is this… invitation from the Peerless Martial Association? What do they want?” Edmund asked curiously after seeing the strange expression on Lucas’s face.
“Take a look at it yourself.” Lucas handed the invitation card to him.
Edmund took it, opened it, and saw a few concise lines written on the front page of the invitation card.
“Dear Mr. Lucas Gray, the Peerless Martial Association will be holding the California Martial Arts Tournament at the Orange County Exhibition Center at 10 a.m. on the 15th of October. When the time comes, we will determine the true Master of California through a martial arts competition. You are
welcome to come!
——Peerless Martial Association California Branch.”
After Edmund read these few lines, his expression immediately changed.
Just a week or so ago at the Elite Business Exchange, Lucas had become the veritable Master of California, after which 60-odd top families pledged allegiance to him.
But the Peerless Martial Association had suddenly come up with a martial arts competition to determine the true Master of California by force, which was a blatant denial of Lucas’s position. They were even trying to replace him!
It was a complete provocation to Lucas!
Edmund was hot-tempered by nature, so he immediately flew into a rage. “These bastards! At the Elite Business Exchange, Axel Fox was no match for you, so he cowered before you and fled like a chicken. Now, they’re suddenly playing this game because they’ve invited experts from the Peerless Martial
Association’s headquarters. That’s why they are so arrogant.
“since when did these bastards of the Peerless Martial Association become the ruler of California? Does anyone approve of this bullshit competition? Who are they to suddenly send you this invitation and want to select a new Master of California?”
Lucas’s expression didn’t change much, and he merely said indifferently, “Since they want to fight, I’ll fight them until they’re convinced.”
Edmund hurriedly advised, “Actually, given your status, you can completely ignore these people! You’re already the Master of California. All the first-class families in California recognize this, so why bother confronting these people personally?”
In his opinion, Lucas was not only the Master of California but also the leader of the Falcon Regiment. His status was high enough for him to ignore this unreasonable request from the Peerless Martial Association.
Lucas said calmly, “It doesn’t matter. One day, I have to go to DC. It’s not a bad thing to find out more about the Peerless Martial Association in this tournament.”
Lucas had some other plans in mind, but it was not the time to reveal them yet.
Seeing Lucas’s resolute attitude, Edmund didn’t advise any further.
The Peerless Martial Association had not just sent an invitation card to Lucas alone. The other first-class families in California also received the invitation cards from the California branch, or rather, the letter of challenge to Lucas one after another.
This matter immediately sparked an uproar in California.
Just last night, the Taylors had just been destroyed by unknown people. While everyone was on edge, many smart ones reckoned that this should be a provocation to Lucas, the new Master of California.
Immediately afterward, all of the top families received an invitation from the Peerless Martial Association that openly declared that they would hold the California Martial Arts Tournament and use combat skills to determine the true Master of California. This could be considered a declaration of war on
Lucas.
It seemed that the Peerless Martial Association was going to fight against Lucas this time!
Be it the Peerless Martial Association or Lucas, none of these families could afford to provoke them.
Although all the powerful families were invited to participate in the competition for the title of the Master of California, those who were not stupid could tell that this competition had nothing to do with their families. The ultimate Master of California would only be between the Peerless Martial
Association and Lucas.
It was undoubtedly another thrilling and exciting event for these powerful families of California!
