Chapter 780 Friend’s Hidden Story

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There was a round ring of about a hundred square meters in the middle of the expo center.
Around the ring was a vacant area that no one was allowed to enter to prevent accidental injury inflicted by the people fighting in the ring.
The outer circle was the security protection area where security was the tightest. It was a safety net arranged by the forces of California, Oregon, and the Peerless Martial
Association.
The VIP seats closest to the ring were in this circle.
The VIP seats were mainly divided into three large areas—the forces of California, the forces of Oregon, and the two branches of the Peerless Martial Association.
The outer area was divided into three categories according to the distance from the ring, namely the priority viewing seats, the ordinary viewing seats, and the peripheral viewing seats. Each category was priced differently, but the seats were not fixed.
Lucas’s original position was in the middle of the VIP seats belonging to the forces of California.
But because he had promised Asher when he was outside the venue that he would come to him after entering the exp center, Lucas decided to sit with Asher at the ordinary viewing seats.
Although Lucas was sitting on Asher’s side and not getting in the way of Lily and Summer, they were extremely displeased with his arrival and frowned as if Lucas reeked of an overwhelming odor. “Hmph, God knows how he sneaked in. He’d better not implicate us if he gets caught later!” Summer frowned at Lucas with displeasure.
Lily harrumphed contemptuously and then said to Summer, “Just ignore him! Quickly look at where the Master of California you’ve been longing for is sitting.”
Summer stared at California’s VIP seats for a while before saying disheartenedly, “Ah, I can’t see him anywhere. Maybe the Master of California has gone to the backstage lounge and will only appear when it’s time to go on stage! “He’s really too mysterious! | bet ninety-nine percent of the audience are eager to know what the Master of California looks like! But he’s already my man, and one day, I’ll definitely marry him!” Summer said confidently with clenched fists.
Lily smiled. “Okay! You’ll definitely marry the Master of California! Good luck!”
Lucas, sitting at the side, almost burst into laughter when he heard what they said.
The two women were so disdainful of him that it seemed they wanted to drive him out of the venue immediately, lest he polluted the air they breathed. Yet they were talking about marrying the Master of California.
How would they react if they knew that the Master of California was Lucas?
Although Lucas had tried his best to contain his laughter, Lily caught him grinning slightly. “What are you laughing at? Do you think what we said is funny?” Lily pulled Summer along and found another reason to snap at Lucas.
Lucas shrugged and said innocently, “Am I not allowed to be in a good mood?” “Hah! I don’t know how you sneaked in. You’re just a penniless man, yet you don’t feel ashamed about sitting with rich people like us. You even say that you’re in a good mood. How shameless!” “Don’t think I can’t tell what you’re thinking. You’re mocking us, aren’t you? Just you wait. Once I get to know the Master of California and marry him, I’ll deal with you!”
Summer glowered at Lucas while gritting her teeth.
Asher’s face turned sullen as he said coldly, “Enough! Lucas didn’t say anything at all, yet you two keep yelling at him. He didn’t mock you!” “Shut up! I won’t allow you to defend him in front of me!” Lily reprimanded Asher domineeringly without saving him any pride.
Asher’s face turned red. But once he thought of his sister, he suppressed all the anger and indignation within him.
Lucas watched coldly. At this point, he already had a rough idea. Did Asher fall in love with this mean-spirited rich girl because he’s become a masochist?
Lucas thought that there must be some hidden reason for Asher to date a woman like Lily and suffer the humiliation.
If Asher needed help, Lucas wouldn’t hesitate to give him a hand because Asher had protected him and helped him back in high school.
But now was obviously not a good time for an open and honest exchange because a commotion broke out again when another group of people walked into the cold venue through the VIP passage. “This time, it’s the Peerless Martial Association!” “Look, that’s Axel Fox, the head of the California branch of the Peerless Martial Association! The one on his right is Heath, the steward of the California branch!” “There are also people from the Oregon branch!” “Huh? Who is the middle-aged man walking in front of them? He looks very domineering! Could he be…?”
The crowd speculated about the identity of the middle-aged man who could walk at the front of the Peerless Martial Association’s team. “It really is him, Julian York!” Edmund was staring at the gloomy middle-aged man as a grim look appeared on his face. “No wonder the Peerless Martial Association is suddenly brave and confident enough to take control of California and Oregon. It turns out it’s because they invited Julian York from the Peerless Martial Association’s headquarters!”
Damon frowned. “Julian York… I’m not familiar with him, but I heard that he has a high rank in the Peerless Martial Association’s headquarters. Such combat strength indeed shouldn’t be underestimated! Mr. Cole, can your expert deal with him?”
Edmund didn’t answer directly but looked at the middle-aged expert sitting beside him and asked politely, “Master Byron, what do you think?”
The middle-aged expert didn’t reply to Edmund immediately and was instead staring at Julian, who was walking toward the Peerless Martial Association’s VIP seats. He was pursing his lips with a solemn expression.
He sensed a surging power emanating from Julian’s body, making him feel as if a large mountain was pressing him down. “This person is really strong!” Byron finally commented after a while. “Even I am not certain of defeating him. But since I promised you to join this competition, I will naturally give my best effort and do my best to defeat him!”
But his words made Edmund’s heart tremble and sink slightly.
