In fact, Lucas, the person involved, had long forgotten about this incident that Pamela was reminiscing over.
After all, in the past few years, he had carried out too many similar missions and saved countless people. Pamela was just one of the countless people he had saved.
Even though Pamela was gorgeous, Lucas was not a man who cared about looks. Moreover, his wife, Cheyenne, was much more beautiful than Pamela. Thus, when he saved Pamela, he didn’t feel any emotions, and he soon forgot about it.
Even if Pamela was standing in front of Lucas now and told him about the incident, he would probably only think of it as one of the missions that he had been on.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed quietly, and it was soon time for the Peerless Martial Association’s martial arts competition with the strongest people of California and Oregon to determine the ruler of both states.
Over the past few days, the major noble families in California and Oregon had been keeping themselves busy as they sent people out on a search to invite experts from all over the world to increase their chances of winning the competition.
The final venue for the competition was set in San Francisco, and it was an extremely important event that caused a huge uproar in California. So during this period of time, many people had been rushing to California to witness the event.
At the same time, all the major hotels in California were full, and the tickets to the San Francisco International Expo Center, the venue of the martial arts competition, had all skyrocketed up to tens of thousands of dollars. Even then, it was still difficult to get one.
All the news media and discussions revolved around the unprecedented meeting.
Of course, the core discussion revolved around two points. One was the true identity of the mysterious Master of California and whether or not he would show up at the martial arts competition. Two was who the final winner of the competition would be and who the ruler of California would be.
There were heated discussions about it online.
But Lucas, the subject of the discussions, ignored all the comments.
On October 15th, he was dressed in an ordinary outfit as usual. He first drove Amelia to the kindergarten and then sent Cheyenne to the Brilliance Corporation before driving to the San Francisco International Expo Center by himself.
There were at least tens of thousands of people standing around outside the San Francisco International Expo Center.
Not only were there people who came from all over California but also many who came from all over Oregon to watch the battle. After all, the competition today concerned the fate of both states.
“Lucas Gray!”
Lucas parked his car at a place near the periphery. Just as he got out of the car, he heard an extremely surprised voice coming from the side.
Lucas turned around and saw a black Mercedes-Benz parked nearby. Florence and her personal bodyguard Andy were getting out of the car and looking at him in surprise.
Although Lucas had no good feelings toward Florence and was keeping his guard up against her to prevent her from approaching Cheyenne, she was still Cheyenne’s mother after all. As long as she didn’t take the initiative to cause trouble, Lucas would be willing to give her some respect.
Thus, he nodded at Florence in greeting.
Florence sized Lucas up. Seeing that he was still dressed shabbily, she looked at him with a critical and disdainful gaze and asked coldly, “Do you know where this place is? What are you doing here?”
She would often speak to Lucas in a condescending tone, as if she was questioning him.
Lucas glanced at her and said indifferently, “What does it have to do with you?”
His impolite reply immediately made Florence glare at him.
She thought that Lucas was just a small fry married to her daughter, so he should answer her questions obediently. But she didn’t expect his attitude to be as terrible as before.
Florence looked at Lucas with annoyance. “Everyone in California knows that the highly-anticipated martial arts competition concerning the hegemony of California and Oregon will be held here at the SF International Expo Center today. Many people from both states are here to watch!
“Unfortunately, the tickets for the competition have already sold out. Even the tickets for the outermost seats of the venue have gone up to more than twenty grand each! You’re here too. Do you want to go inside to take a look?
“Hah. Look at what your status is! You’re just a live-in husband relying on my daughter for support. You probably bought the ticket with my daughter’s money, huh?
“You’re here squandering my daughter’s money, yet you’re asking what it has to do with me? It’s only right that I deal with you!” Florence shouted angrily at Lucas.
But what she said was enough to show how poor her understanding of Lucas was.
In fact, Florence had simply asked someone to investigate Lucas’s basic information. Ever since she knew that Lucas was a penniless man who only married Cheyenne as her live-in husband because he was framed in a scandal, she felt that he was a bottom feeder of society.
Even when she later saw in the information that Lucas used to be from the Huttons of DC, she thought that he was just an outcast driven out by the family and that the so-called Stardust Corporation’s Orange County branch was just an empty shell handed over to him to fool him.
In Florence’s heart, Lucas was just a stumbling block hindering her daughter from marrying the Master of California, so she didn’t even bother to get to know Lucas.
Lucas looked at her with amusement. “Don’t you refuse to acknowledge that I’m your son-in-law? What right do you have to meddle in my affairs? How ridiculous.”
With that, he ignored Florence and turned around to leave.
Florence didn’t expect Lucas to have the audacity to speak to her like this. For a while, she was so upset that she couldn’t even maintain her usual ladylike demeanor.
“You damn piece of garbage! You’re just a stumbling block in my daughter’s life! You’re not worthy of her at all! Just you wait. I’ll definitely make you divorce her!
“Only someone like the Master of California is worthy of my daughter! You’re not even worthy of carrying the shoes of the Master of California!
“Ah! I’m so angry!”
Florence vented her anger without restraint. Unfortunately, Lucas had long left and didn’t hear a single word.
Seeing how furious Florence was, Andy thought about reminding her that she was losing her composure.
But at the thought that she had reprimanded him for giving her a reminder previously, he decided to keep his mouth shut and not look for a scolding.
But Andy looked at Lucas and had a vague conjecture that perhaps the legendary Master of California was Lucas!
