After a long period of dead silence, Edmund was the first to return to his senses and laughed out loud. “Hahaha! Did you see that? That’s the strength of Mr. Gray, the Master of California!”
At this moment, there was joy written all over Edmund’s face. He felt confident and proud.
He initially thought that the meeting at the Campbells’ today was just a discussion for the families of the two states. But he didn’t expect the Campbells to be so ambitious as to want to be the ruler of California and Oregon.
Edmund hadn’t been well prepared, and since he was in Oregon, he was restricted and restrained in every aspect, making him feel tied up.
Until this moment, when he saw Lucas killing the arrogant Kai in one move, he immediately felt refreshed, energetic, and proud.
It was the same for Damon. Lucas’s move was a complete blow to the pride of the Campbells and the people of Oregon. It brought prestige to the families of California!
“Haha, as we said before, Mr. Gray is the strongest person in California. As long as he’s around, there’s no reason to fear the Peerless Martial Association!”
Damon burst into laughter. Then he seemed to recall something as he smiled at Noah, who looked sullen beside him. “Mr. Campbell, the bet you mentioned earlier should still stand, right? In both states, anyone who can defeat the Peerless Martial Association will be the common hegemon of California
and Oregon!”
Noah’s face was extremely gloomy, but he had indeed proposed this bet in front of all the families here. Now, he naturally couldn’t deny it. Otherwise, the prestige of the Campbells would be tarnished!
“Hmph, there are still seven days until the competition. Before then, we families of Oregon will definitely find a stronger powerhouse! We don’t know the final outcome yet, so don’t get too complacent!” Noah said resentfully.
Edmund and Damon both took it as Noah being stubborn and didn’t bother with him. Instead, they walked toward Lucas happily. “Let’s go, Mr. Gray!”
‘Thus, it had only been two minutes since Lucas appeared in the meeting hall before he left under the escort of Edmund and Damon.
Lucas was in a daze for a moment.
He drove several hours to get here, but what exactly did he come here for?
Did I just settle the matter by killing a person from the Peerless Martial Association?
“Haha, Mr. Gray, the matter here has indeed been settled. I’ll tell you the details when we’re in the car!” Edmund said excitedly and invited Lucas into the car.
On the other hand, in the Campbells’ meeting hall, there was nothing but dead silence for a long time until Lucas and company left.
From time to time, some people turned to look at Noah, while others secretly glanced at the corpses of Kai and Lewis on the floor.
Everyone had a common thought. Lucas Gray, the Master of California, is so strong. Do we still have any chances of winning?
“Mr. Campbell, there are only seven days left until the competition. Can we really find a supreme expert who’s strong enough to rival the Master of California within such a short period of time?” Finally, one of the helmsmen spoke up.
Everyone immediately looked at Noah, waiting for his answer.
Right now, the Campbells were the strongest family in Oregon and also the initiator of this conference to discuss measures for dealing with the Peerless Martial Association!
Seven days later, the competition would not only be a battle between the families of Oregon and the Peerless Martial Association but also a battle with California.
It was because Noah had proposed a bet that stipulated that the final winner would become the overlord of both California and Oregon!
‘When Noah proposed this bet, all the powerful families of Oregon had the utmost confidence in Lewis, especially after seeing him easily deal with the bodyguards of the helmsmen of the two most powerful families of California.
Therefore, when Noah and Edmund both proposed this bet, none of the families of Oregon stepped forward to oppose it. After all, the conditions were favorable to them at the time, so why not?
But there was now a drastic change in the situation.
Lewis, whom they had had high hopes for, had been killed in seconds by Kai of the Peerless Martial Association. But the powerful Kai had unexpectedly been killed in seconds by Lucas Gray of California!
Didn’t this mean that Lucas, the young man from California, would be taking over the hegemony of the two states?
They, the wealthy families of Oregon, would actually have to bow down to a young man from another state.
Such a result was completely unacceptable to them!
Noah’s face was naturally extremely gloomy as he faced the questioning gazes of these helmsmen.
Lewis had been a top expert that the Campbells had hidden for many years. Noah had planned to use this opportunity to make the Campbells become the overlord of the two states. But he didn’t expect his plans to be foiled.
Now that Lewis was dead, where else could he go to find an even more powerful expert within seven days?
But Noah naturally couldn’t tell the truth to these wealthy families. Otherwise, the situation that he had worked so hard for would immediately collapse, and the wealthy families of Oregon would no longer respect the Campbells.
Noah would never be able to tolerate that!
He bit the bullet and said, “Everyone, rest assured. Since there are still seven days left, I will definitely find a stronger powerhouse. We families of Oregon won’t lose!”
“There are only seven days left, so how can you be sure that you’ll be able to find a top powerhouse?” someone asked from below.
With a trace of displeasure, Noah said, “Since I have already said this, I will definitely not go back on my word! If any of you are in doubt, you may go find some powerful experts yourself. The Campbells won’t interfere!”
As soon as he said this, the members of the other families closed their eyes in thought.
“Okay, I hope the Campbells will find an expert soon!”
“Our hopes are lying on you, Mr. Campell!”
“Mtr. Campbell, we’re depending on you!”
The families bade farewell one after another. In no time, only a few direct members of the Campbells were remaining in the spacious conference hall.
A middle-aged man in his forties stepped forth and asked worriedly, “Dad, can we really find an expert stronger than Master Lewis and comparable to Lucas Gray in such a short time?”
This middle-aged man was Noah’s eldest son, Marvin.
Many other Campbells also looked at Noah anxiously.
How could an expert stronger than Lewis be found so easily?
Noah pondered for a long time before suddenly saying, “There is a place where we might be able to find a supreme expert.
“We’ll have to go to the academy that Master Lewis came from, the Octa Faction!”
