The atmosphere was full of enthusiasm, especially the betting area, which was bustling and very lively.
It has long been training at Club Illuma to place bets on expected winners before the fight begins.
And this time, the fight between Maxim and Lucas was the most exciting of the night. So in addition to the audience, there were many people from various powers and large consortia from all over the world.
In just a few minutes, the total number of bets placed on this match had reached a frightening figure of over two billion dollars, which was the highest amount for a single match in Club Illuma history!
But based on the betting situation of the audience, most of the spectators were more optimistic about the middle-aged Maxim victory. After all, he was an expert hired by the Steeles, one of the top eight families. He exuded a domineering aura the instant he stepped on the stage, deeply possessing the style of a master.
!!
On the other hand, Lucas is just a newcomer that few people know about. In particular, his young age made many people unconsciously assume that he would be defeated by Maxim.
Maxim looked at Lucas who was walking towards him. Instead of immediately fighting, he said, “Young man, Trevor just told me that if you are willing to give up and work for him, he will pay you fifteen million dollars a year!”
Regardless of the profession, an annual salary of 15 million dollars is an astronomical number.
Hearing this, Lucas grinned, feeling a strong urge to laugh.
Trevor actually wants him to work for her!
How could Trevor think of making someone with Lucas status work for him?
Lucas looked at Maxim and said, “I'll give you a chance too. If you work for me, I'll give you a three million dollar annual salary. How does it sound?”
Although Maxim is good at martial arts, paying him 15 million dollars a year is impossible. Three million makes a lot more sense.
Lucas thought that if Maxim did not participate in this tournament for Trevor, his annual salary might be around this amount.
“Punk, you insult me!” Maxim soon turns moody, thinking that Lucas deliberately humiliated him.
“Do you not want?” With regret on his face, Lucas waved his hand. “Then I have to kill you tonight.”
“How arrogant! Who knows who will die!” Maxim shouted furiously. He stepped on the floor and jumped towards Lucas in an instant.
“Wooo! They fight!”
“Quick, see the fight!”
…
Seeing the two of them finally starting to fight, the audience immediately cheered and shouted in excitement.
Alexander and Ashley were sitting in front of the ring and watching Maxim charge towards Lucas ferociously. They were so frightened and nervous that cold sweat came out on their palms, and they did not even dare to breathe!
Whether they can survive or not, and whether the money they bet will - or not - all will depend on who wins in the ring!
Seeing Lucas standing still after Maxim made his move, the white-bearded old man sneered. “Very weak!”
Jace laughed out loud. “Yes, I think Lucas Gray is also weak. Seeing his opponent rushing towards him, he was scared out of his wits and did not even dare to dodge ..”
Before he finished speaking, the white-bearded old man interrupted, “Are you blind? If Lucas Gray is really weak and timid, how could he force you into such a state and become the rock that sharpens you?”
Jace suddenly felt suffocated. He finally understood that the white-bearded old man was referring to the middle-aged man! Jace soon turned pale, and he became a little scared imagining Lucas almost killed him just now.
"Damn! Is punk scared silly? His opponent attacked. Why isn't he moving?! I bet seven million for him!”
“Haha, that punk really didn't make it. He could not even dodge or defend properly. He might be beaten to death soon! Fortunately, I bet fifteen million dollars for that middle-aged man!”
"It's too meaningless if it's just a one-sided fight!"
…
The audience shouted one after another. Many people who bet on Lucas were furious and cursed him when they saw him standing still. They wished they could rush into the ring to urge him to move.
In the ring, Maxim's eyes were filled with killing intent as he concentrated all his strength in his right hand.
Since Lucas rejected Trevor's offer, there was no need to keep him alive! He must end Lucas' life immediately with this punch! This is the order Trevor gave Maxim.
Since Lucas won't work for Trevor, Maxim will kill him! Maxim had already rushed forward Lucas and smashed his powerful fist into Lucas' head with all his might! With this thunderous attack, he could even pierce through a 10-centimeter thick steel plate!
Especially the human head…
Just as the crows thought that Lucas would be killed instantly by this lightning-fast blow, they took a sharp breath. But the next second, they see Maxim's body fly backwards much faster than it did when he approached Lucas. Like a cannonball, he was slammed hard into the steel guardrail around the ring!
Bang out!
The tremendous impact caused the steel guardrail to change shape.
Maxim's body bounced back and fell to the floor.
When his body landed on the floor, he spurted out a large mouthful of blood with an incredible look of horror in his eyes.
He split his bloodied lips, seemingly wanting to say something but eventually remained silent. His head suddenly drooped, and he instantly died on the spot!
“How is that possible?!”
“What?!”
“That's impossible!”
This scene left countless spectators standing in shock, disbelief written all over their faces!
They could never imagine that the powerful middle-aged man representing the Steeles had been killed by Lucas with a single blow!
