At this moment, Alexander decided to go all out and bet.
If they could not win the brutal competition, their final possibility was death!
Alexander and Trevor had been at odds for many years, and it could be said that there was a deep feud between them. If he were to lose this time and be expelled from the Steeles power core, Trevor might find a way to kill him.
At that time, not only would he be in a bad state, but even his little sister and mother would be involved!
If Lucas can help him win the tournament, it will definitely be a big turning point for him. As long as his family is safe, he's willing to be ready to help Lucas!
!!
Lucas glanced at Alexander and asked with raised eyebrows, “I just killed Godfrey Steele in public. Why are you still asking for my help? Are you afraid your family will blame you?
Alexander gritted his teeth. “Godfrey just blames herself. He ended up like that because he offended you! But if the family is really pursuing this matter, I will take full responsibility!”
Everything had already come to a point where there was no other way out for him.
Once Trevor wins, he won't survive.
On the other hand, if Alexander wins, his family may have other thoughts and not punish him.
This was the only place where Alexander could gamble.
Lucas looked at Alexander, who seemed to be trying his hardest, and finally nodded. “I can promise you that if the fighter Trevor participates in the tournament, I will meet him.”
Hearing this, Alexander and Ashley were immediately overjoyed, and they nearly cried as they thanked Lucas repeatedly.
…
Meanwhile, Jace and the white-bearded old man were sitting in the luxurious lounge on the top floor of the Illuma Club, and the atmosphere was extremely miserable.
When Jace recalled the feeling of being almost killed by Lucas, his heart surged in fear.
“You've seen how strong he is. He's too strong. If I keep fighting him, I'll just die! You have to let me go!
There was a scarlet finger on Jace's neck as he pleaded deeply.
The white-bearded old man sitting before him pulled a long face.
“Don't forget I saved your life! If I hadn't protected you, you would have already died in his hands! The white-bearded old man looked at Jace gloomily.
Jace almost cried. “But I really can't deal with it! I'm just the heir to a rich family. Even if I start learning martial arts from the beginning, I won't be able to match it. Since you're so skilled, handle him yourself, okay? ”
“Useless!” the white-bearded old man shouted furiously and slapped Jace in the face. “Is that all you know how to do? Humbling yourself while exaggerating your opponent? If not for your mother's sake, I would have long killed a useless person like you!
“Don't forget. Noble blood is still flowing in your veins, so you can't possibly lose to the abandoned child who was expelled from his family!
“If not, what right do you have to be the successor of the royal family in the future?”
Hearing the last sentence, even Jace was dumbfounded. “Penerus... royal family?”
During this period of time, Jace knew that the white-bearded old man, who had followed him, protected him, and even wanted to teach him martial arts, came from the Whitley family, a branch of the royal family owned by his mother. ke.
But the white-bearded old man actually only said that he had a chance to become the successor of the royal family.
“Are you kidding?” Jace involuntarily spoke out loudly.
The white-bearded old man said proudly, “Of course I'm not kidding! In the future, you will most likely be the successor of the Royal Family, and Lucas Gray is simply a stone to hone you!
Jace was dumbfounded for a while, still unable to believe it. “Tn. White, even though my mother is part of the royal family and I am as well, what makes me qualified to be a successor?
Logically speaking, his mother was already married to Michael Huttons. So even if he was carrying royal blood, he shouldn't be a qualified heir.
Jace should be the successor to his father's family, the Huttons, not his mother's royal family.
Of course, if he could choose, he would definitely choose the Whitley family because the Whitleys were far superior to the Huttons in terms of power and status.
But it seems too good to be true.
“Tn. White, I'm sure there are many descendants of the Whitley family. How could they allow me to be a successor because I am a Hutton? Jace shook his head, still feeling like he was dreaming.
The white-bearded old man looked at him and said calmly, “That's because the Whitley family is now in a precarious position and will most likely be expelled from the royal family!
“If that happens, do you know the consequences that will happen?”
Jace was stunned for a moment, and he shook his head.
Although Jace's mother was a Whitley, she was raised by the Huttons and had almost no contact with the mother's side of the family.
Only when she falls off the roof of an abandoned hospital in Orange County a while ago, does she learn that the white-bearded old man who saved her comes from the Whitley family.
Besides, Jace doesn't deal with family.
The white-bearded old man said in a deep voice, “Once the Whitley family is stripped of their royal status, we will only be annihilated! The world is about survival of the fittest. You must remember this!”
“How... how is it possible.” Jace involuntarily gulped in surprise.
He initially thought that even if the Whitley family were to be expelled from the royal family, they would be equivalent to the top eight worst DC families and still be able to live in luxury.
But he did not expect that the Whitleys would face bad luck once they were removed as nobles!
“The Whitley family is rather weak compared to the other eight branches of the royal family, and we now face the danger of extermination. Therefore, each family member is trying to find ways to become stronger and keep the family status prominent.
“So even though you were only half Whitley and raised by the Huttons, you are still considered a family member. And if you're really competent enough, you might be the successor. Understand?
“As long as you can trample Lucas Gray, you will have the chance to become the successor of the royal family!”
What the white-bearded old man said must have been tempting, making Jace excited!
