Chapter 1086: Taking a Gamble
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Previously, Jace’s attention had all been on becoming the Huttons’ helmsman.
But Lucas had ruined his chances and even helped another illegitimate son of the Huttons rise up to the position that should have belonged to him.
What the white-bearded old man had said opened another door for him, making him aware that he was qualified to become the successor of the royals!
The eight top families of DC were nothing compared to the royals.
In particular, the thought of trampling all over Lucas made Jace even more tempted and eager for the arrival of such a day!
!!
The white-bearded old man made another timely remark. “Jace, you’re an ambitious person, and that will become your greatest motivation!”
Hearing this, Jace felt empowered, and his fear and scruples toward Lucas immediately vanished.
“That’s right, Mr. White. You’re right! I have to defeat Lucas Gray. I have to become the successor of the Whitleys!”
Jace’s eyes were full of confidence and a burning desire for victory.
The white-bearded old man nodded in satisfaction. “Yes, you need to be domineering if you want to become the successor of the royal family!”
After a momentary pause, Jace was still feeling worried. “Lucas Gray threatened me and said that he wouldn’t let me live to see the light of tomorrow. What should I do?”
The white-bearded old man sneered. “Don’t worry about it. I may not be able to deal with that punk on my own easily, but there are other experts in Club Illuma tonight. He absolutely won’t be able to do anything to you!”
Hearing this, Jace finally felt at ease.
...
As experts appeared one after another in the ring of Club Illuma’s Reincarnation in Hell, the tournament gradually approached its end.
After a pair of experts ended yet another match with one dead and the other wounded, Alexander’s face turned grim as he yelled, “It’s almost Trevor’s fighter’s turn!”
Sure enough, the person who stepped into the ring was the reticent and stern middle-aged man who had followed behind Trevor just now.
Due to the conflict earlier, most people in the fighting hall knew that this middle-aged man was Trevor’s subordinate, so they immediately started cheering enthusiastically.
At the same time, many people looked at Lucas, who was sitting among the audience. After all, Trevor’s declaration of war against Lucas in the ring was deeply etched in their minds.
If this middle-aged man really fought with Lucas, it would definitely be the most exciting match of the tournament tonight!
Standing in the center of the dark red ring, the middle-aged man, Maxim, seemed to read the minds of the spectators as he slowly raised his hand and pointed straight at Lucas. “Punk, it’s your turn to die!”
Trevor, sitting in a position nearest to the ring, glanced at Lucas with a murderous look.
Once Lucas was dead, Alexander’s last trump card would become useless, and Trevor would become the undisputed third-generation successor of the family!
“Wow! He’s really challenging that young man!”
“Woo! Go! Fight! Fight!”
“The fight between these two will definitely be the most exciting one of the night! I can’t wait to see it!”
“Hurry, hurry, hurry, who wants to bet on who will win? They’re both so impressive!”
“I’ll bet five million dollars on the young man!”
“Then I’ll bet ten million on the middle-aged man!”
...
After Maxim challenged Lucas to enter the ring, the atmosphere in the fighting hall immediately reached the peak as whistling and cheers of excitement resounded in the hall!
What was crazier was that the audience even started a new round of betting on who would win between Lucas and the middle-aged man.
Lucas glanced at Maxim coldly and smirked. “Since you’re courting death yourself, don’t blame me.”
Actually, as the captain of the Falcon Regiment, it was too much of a disgrace for Lucas to participate in this kind of fighting competition.
However, since he had already promised to help Alexander and the middle-aged man had provoked him, there was nothing to it.
“Lucas, that man is very strong. You have to be careful!” Ashley looked at Lucas with worry in her eyes.
Alexander added, “Lucas, watch out. It’s okay to lose, but I hope you’re safe!”
At this moment, Alexander and Ashley truly meant what they said.
Lucas stood up, looked at them, and suddenly smiled. “If you still have some money in your hands, you can bet on me winning.”
Then Lucas walked toward the ring.
Looking at his back, Alexander and Ashley were stunned.
Since Lucas could say this, was he that confident in winning?
Alexander gritted his teeth and said, “Since Mr. Gray said so, I’ll fight too. I still have about ten million dollars in hand. I’ll bet it all on Mr. Gray!”
“Alex, are you crazy? This is all the money we have. If we lose, we won’t even have a single penny left!” Ashley opened her mouth wide in disbelief.
A touch of delirium appeared in Alexander’s eyes. “At this point, the only path we have left is to believe in Mr. Gray! If he loses, the money we have now won’t be of any help either!
“Trevor won’t let us live! Instead of that, I’d rather bet all my money on Mr. Gray and put everything I have on the line. We might still have a chance then!”
Ashley clenched her jaw. Thinking of the family’s current situation, she finally said, “Alright, Alex, I still have about a million dollars. I’ll bet on Mr. Gray too!”
Lucas had already walked into the ring and stood in front of Maxim.
At this moment, the room was brimming with endless shouts from the excited audience.
One of the two people standing in the ring currently was an expert hired by a scion of the Steeles, so he was naturally very strong.
The other was an expert who had kicked the burly man with the dragon tattoo to death and even killed Godfrey, another scion of the Steele, in front of everyone. He was just as powerful.
Everyone was eager to find out which of the two would end up dead after the fight!
