The moment the group entered the venue, they immediately sparked an uproar. “Look! The helmsmen of many wealthy and powerful families in California are here!” “I know the one walking in front. He’s Edmund Cole! The Coles are the strongest family in California! The beautiful girl beside him is his granddaughter Alexis! Ahhh, I’d be willing to die if I could marry her!” “Dream on! Everyone wants to marry Miss Cole. If you could marry her, you’d get all the Coles’ assets. The point is, she absolutely won’t like you!” “Oh, the one behind is Damon Parker, the head of the Parkers from LA! Next to him is his grandson Kenneth. I heard that he isn’t married yet. If | had the chance to marry the Parkers, I’d smile in my sleep!” “The helmsman of the Hales from Orange County is here too! Connor Hale is the youngest family helmsman ever, and the key is, he’s really suave too! Unfortunately, he’s already married. Ah, why did a good man get married so early?!” “These people are the top forces of California. What are you saying? Are you here to pick a spouse?” an older man beside them said with displeasure. “Nonsense! Today is a rare event in the two states. With so many prestigious figures and young people around, even those sitting outside are mostly trying to get close to these wealthy families and establish marriage alliances. Otherwise, who would spend thousands of dollars to watch the competition for fun?!” “Yes! If the heir or heiress of a wealthy family takes a liking to you, it will be a godsend opportunity! Even if you can’t get in touch with the top-tier families, the others who could afford the tickets here are not from poor families either. This makes for a great opportunity to communicate with them. Don’t tell me that that’s not what you’re thinking!” “Okay, fine. Our goals are about the same.”
The competition between California, Oregon, and the Peerless Martial Association was indeed not only a grand event concerning the future fate of the two states but also a high-profile and high-level gathering.
Many people had racked their brains and spent thousands of dollars buying tickets to enter. They were naturally not here just to watch the fun.
At this moment, Asher was sitting in the middle of the audience together with his wealthy girlfriend, Lily, and her best friend, Summer. All three of them were looking at the
VIP passage excitedly. “Ahbhh, Lily, look! The top bigshots of California have finally appeared!” Summer was so excited that her face was red, and she clutched Lily’s hand tightly. She couldn’t take her eyes away from the few young heirs. “The Coles, the Parkers, the Hales… Ah, it’s such a pity that we’re sitting too far away and can’t see their faces!”
The San Francisco International Expo Center was large enough to accommodate more than 20,000 people, so even though they were sitting in the middle, they couldn’t get a clear glimpse of the people sitting in the VIP aisle at the front.
The competition stage was in the middle of the expo center, with several large screens around, which was enough for even those sitting in the outermost seats to see the situation on the stage. “Hey! Lily, quickly take a look at who that young man among the big shots is!” Summer pointed eagerly at a person sitting among the wealthy families of California.
Most importantly, this young man had a special position. He was like a star surrounded by many, and all the big shots of California kept a respectful distance from him. He was obviously extraordinary.
Lily craned her neck and looked for a long time. But unfortunately, he was too far away, and she couldn’t see his looks clearly. “Although I can’t see clearly, I can roughly guess that this young man is definitely the main character of today’s competition and the mysterious Master of California!” Lily stared at this figure with a strange gaze in her eyes. “It seems he is indeed the Master of California, but it’s a pity we can’t see his looks clearly!” Summer was chagrined and furious. “I brought a small telescope with me, but that damned guard just had to confiscate it!”
Lily smiled and comforted, “It’s okay if you can’t see him clearly. He’ll be on stage later anyway. By then, you’ll definitely be able to see his face clearly!” “Yes, that’s right!” Summer stared at Lucas with a look of infatuation. “Lily, I really like the Master of California! Although I can’t see him clearly, I can tell from his figure that he’s exceptionally charming and refined! He’s indeed worthy of being the Master of California! “You must help me. I really want to see him immediately and then speak to him and marry him!”
Two pink hearts almost popped out of her eyes.
Lily said, “As your best friend, I don’t want to discourage you, but I still have to say that’s impossible! This person is the Master of California, an overlord who controls more than sixty top families in California! You’ll be fortunate enough to be able to talk to him, but now, you’re still thinking of marrying him? “He’s so young, but he already has such a high status. I bet the women who want to marry him can line up around the borders of all of California. He can have any woman he wants. Why would he like… people like us?”
Lily had a sense of awareness. Her and Summer’s families might be wealthy and considered richer than most people, but they were worlds apart from the Master of
California.
Summer pouted. “Ah, that’s not certain! What if the Master of California happens to like me? Besides, I’m not dreaming of marrying him. I’d be happy to be able to have a one-night stand with such a brilliant man!”
Her face was flushed, and she was a little shameless.
At this moment, Asher, who had been silent, was staring at the figure in the crowd and said in shock, “The… the Master of California is actually Lucas Gray!”.
