“You are here, Alex!” A crisp and clear female voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
Lucas and Alexander turned around and saw a slender beauty walking in the company of a muscular man.
“Ashley, why are you here?” Alexander said in surprise. Then she frowned and said, “This is not a place for women. You should go home quickly!”
Ashley pursed her lips and said firmly, “Alex, I'm your sister as well as a Steele!”
Then he pointed at the muscular man behind him. “He is an unparalleled powerhouse that I invite. He once won a championship in an underground boxing tournament abroad. He is so strong!”
!!
Hearing this, Alexander was above the moon. He looked at the muscular man and asked politely, “Master, how should I call you?”
The muscular man smiled. “Tn. Alexander, just call me Rocky.”
Many martial arts practitioners usually use pseudonyms, so Rocky is a suitable name for him.
“Good. Rocky, are you sure about tonight's game?” Alexander asked with concern.
Rocky looked at the two experts who were fighting brutally in the ring and said confidently, “I should be able to manage. At least I'm much stronger than the two in the ring. I dare not say that I will be able to win the championship tonight, but I will definitely be among the top three!”
Hearing Rocky's confident words, Ashley was very excited, and she said to Alexander with pride, “Alexander! I told you that the expert I found was very strong. We will definitely win today!”
“Big!” Alexander was very happy. If Rocky can really get into the top three, the other two Steele camps might not be comparable.
The Steeles representatives were unable to take the top spot in Club Illuma's previous annual tournament.
While everyone was feeling excited, Lucas suddenly said, “It won't be easy to get into the top three.”
As soon as he said this, Alexander and Ashley's facial expressions froze.
Rocky narrowed his eyes and looked at Lucas with hostility.
Ashley has been working hard to find an expert, but Lucas just has to be a wet blanket, so he is naturally unhappy.
But she still remembered that Lucas was her brother's friend, so she asked, “Alex, who is this?”
Alexander also had a hint of dissatisfaction in his heart, but thinking about Lucas' identity and skills, he began to hesitate.
She introduced Ashley, “Oh, I forgot to introduce you. It's Mr. Lucas Gray, chairman of Stardust Corporation.”
Then he introduced it to Lucas, “Master. Gray, this is Ashley, my sister.”
Ashley looked at Lucas, scrunched her nose in displeasure, and snorted coldly without greeting him.
Alexander hurriedly reprimanded, “Ashley, how can you be so rude?”
Although Lucas did not promise to help him compete in the tournament, Alexander still did not want to offend him and cause tension in their relationship.
To be honest, the reason Alexander wanted to ask Lucas to help him at this annual tournament was not only because of the brief interaction they had at the auction yesterday, but also because he had asked someone to investigate Lucas.
The person Alexander approached was a high-ranking military personnel. But just this morning, this guy called Alexander and told him that he couldn't even check Lucas' files. All the information about Lucas had the highest level of secret security, and only a few people in the highest echelons had the authority to look at it.
Generally, those whose information can be protected with a high degree of secrecy are people with a big secret or great people who should not be offended at all.
So even though he didn't get any information about Lucas from his friend, he was able to deduce from Lucas that Lucas was obviously someone he couldn't hurt!
It was precisely the reason Alexander wanted to ask Lucas for help and ask him to help him compete.
But Ashley doesn't know about this at all. When he hears Alexander say that Lucas is just the chairman of the company without saying anything about his family, he knows that he is not a descendant of a prestigious family in DC.
“Alex, why did you say that to me? He was just the chairman of a small company, and his family background was much inferior to the Steeles. Yet he was raving nonsense when he knew nothing about martial arts. Why are you defending him?” Ashley said with great dissatisfaction as she stared intently at Lucas dissatisfiedly.
“Shut!” Alexander immediately shouted coldly. “Is that how Mom taught you? Who told you to judge others like that? Mr. Gray is my friend, and if you dare to speak rudely to him again, leave immediately!
“Apologies to Mr Gray right now!”
Alexander admonished Ashley vehemently almost without saving his pride.
He was really angry, not only because of Ashley's superficial remarks, but also because he was afraid he would offend Lucas.
“Alex! You...” Ashley's eyes widen in disbelief. She could hardly believe that her brother, who had always been gentle with her and doting on her, had suddenly become so mean to her and forced her to apologize to Lucas!
But after seeing the anger in Alexander's eyes, Ashley knew that she was really mad at him. He could only grit his teeth and apologize to Lucas reluctantly. “Tn. Gray, I'm sorry!”
But even though he apologized, the expression on his face and the angry look in his eyes clearly showed his unwillingness. He even hates Lucas, which is why he was forced to apologize.
Lukas remained silent.
He just told the truth because Rocky was too confident. In fact, he could even be considered arrogant.
So Lucas inevitably reminded them not to rejoice too soon.
The people who appeared in the ring might be experts in martial arts, but they were still far from the level of true experts. Lucas does not believe that Club Illuma's annual tournament standards are only at this level. True experts have not yet appeared.
Given Rocky's aura, he was still far from a true expert, and it was impossible for him to break into the top three.
But his remarks caused him to attract the hatred of a woman, a completely unwarranted disaster.
