The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 1077

Chapter 1077: Shirking Responsibility
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although Lucas had never seen Rocky’s martial arts skills, he was experienced enough to know Rocky’s true strength based on his aura and movements.
Rocky had been showing off and behaving smugly in all aspects, but Lucas could tell from his gait, stance, and remarks about others that he was just pretending to be an expert but was not actually that competent.
To put it bluntly, if Rocky was thrown into the ring and pitted against either of the two fighters in there right now, he wouldn’t last more than ten seconds.
But what Lucas had said struck him in a sore spot, making him furious.
“How dare you underestimate me? You have a death wish!” Rocky shouted angrily and raised his fists to punch Lucas.
!!
Seeing things going awry, Alexander hurriedly stood in front of Rocky to stop him. “Calm down, buddy! Do me a favor and don’t do anything!”
Although Alexander was also a little displeased with Lucas’s blunt and relentless remark, he couldn’t let Rocky get into a fight with him because he hadn’t figured out his true identity and still had scruples toward him.
If Lucas got hurt, his relationship with him would be completely ruined. On the other hand, if Rocky was injured, they would be at a huge disadvantage for the tournament.
Rocky looked at Alexander standing in front of him and then stared at Lucas before saying coldly, “I’ll spare your life on Mr. Alexander’s account this time. Otherwise, I’d let you learn the consequences of offending a powerful martial arts expert!”
Ashley was just as infuriated and said to Lucas hostilely, “Seriously, stop it! Do you think you can be such a wet blanket and bring us down repeatedly just because my brother treats you as his friend?
“Real skills should be proven with actions, not words. Anyone can call themselves an expert. Why don’t you step into the ring and fight?
“My brother and I are worried sick about this tournament. You have no idea what consequences we’ll face if we lose this tournament!
“You’re totally clueless. Why do you keep spouting nonsense here?”
While Ashley was speaking, her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears streamed down her face.
Lucas was stunned. He didn’t expect that she would suddenly burst into tears.
But he could tell from her complaints that she was extremely stressed, which was why she was so concerned about the outcome of the tournament and the capabilities of Rocky, the expert she had found.
Thinking of this, Lucas sighed and apologized, “Sorry, I didn’t mean it.”
As soon as these words came out, even Alexander was dumbfounded.
Lucas had been rather aloof and indifferent toward him so far. Alexander didn’t expect him to apologize to his sister.
Ashley burst out in tears on the spot because she was overwhelmed by her emotions, making her feel very embarrassed. She wiped her tears and turned her head to the side spitefully, having no intention of accepting his apology.
Seeing this, Lucas felt helpless.
He was at a loss for what to do about a girl like her.
Suddenly, exclamations resounded in the hall, catching the attention of the crowd and getting them to look at the ring in unison.
The burly man with the dragon tattoo and the one with a buzzcut were fighting each other with all their might, perhaps because they had already tested each other’s strength in the previous exchange of blows.
Their fight became extremely intense. The burly man punched the man with the buzzcut on his chest while the man with the buzzcut stomped the floor with one leg and kicked the waist of the burly man with the other.
Two dull thuds spread through the speakers to the ears of everyone in the hall.
Immediately afterward, the two men held each other and stumbled to the floor at the same time. Then they began grappling and wrestling on the floor.
During the fight, the burly man threw a hard punch at the head of the man with a buzzcut, who turned his head just in time to dodge the blow. The punch immediately caused a spiderweb-like crack to spread from the pit in the floor.
The scene was captured by the cameras placed around the ring and displayed on the countless screens at the top of the hall. Everyone screamed in excitement.
This strength was truly terrifying.
Since the ring was meant for professional fighters, the ring’s floor wasn’t made of ordinary material, and there were rarely situations where cracks appeared on the floor. This just meant that the force of the burly man’s fist had reached a terrifying level.
Alexander and Ashley saw the cracks in the floor on the big screen, and they couldn’t help feeling a chill in their hearts.
The burly man with a dragon tattoo was definitely an extremely terrifying person!
Astonishment finally appeared on Rocky’s face.
Even he couldn’t make such a deep crack in the floor of the ring.
This was enough to show that the man with a dragon tattoo was far stronger than him!
At the thought of the agility and speed of the man with the dragon tattoo when he tested the waters with the man with the buzzcut earlier, Rocky felt his heart tremble.
He was inferior in terms of speed and strength. If he was in the ring now, he might have already died at the hands of the man with the dragon tattoo!
Ashley clenched her fist, which was already drenched in sweat. She said with a lack of confidence, “Uh… Th-that’s not a big deal, right? He just made a crack in the floor. I’m sure many of the experts here can do that.
“Rocky, you can definitely do it too, right?”
Then Ashley looked at Rocky expectantly, wanting to get an affirmative answer from him.
“Heh… Hehe, I’m sorry, but I suddenly need to use the restroom. I’ll be right back!” Rocky laughed awkwardly and suddenly clutched his stomach. Before Ashley and Alexander could say anything, he ran toward the exit of the hall.
Alexander and Ashley were dumbstruck!
He was fine before, so why did he suddenly have to use the restroom?
Rocky was obviously using it as an excuse to flee because he had just witnessed how strong the two experts in the ring were.
Was he the top expert who swore earlier that he could help them get into the top three?
