Suddenly, the burly man Rocky said, “Mr. Alexander, I think Miss Ashley is right.”
He looked at Lucas and said proudly with one eyebrow raised, “A person who knows nothing about martial arts really has no right to talk nonsense here.”
Hearing this, Alexander felt a headache coming on.
On the one hand, he didn’t want to offend Lucas. And on the other, it was the lifeline that his sister had painstakingly found. He didn’t want to offend either of them.
He could only quickly comfort Rocky. “Rocky, don’t be angry. Lucas just made a casual remark. He doesn’t have any hostility.”
!!
Alexander hurriedly shot Lucas a glance, begging him not to lose his temper.
After hearing the scion of the esteemed Steeles comfort him, Rocky was in a better mood. He snorted coldly and said, “Once I step inside the ring, you will naturally see my true skills!”
Then he glowered at Lucas.
Lucas naturally wouldn’t care about such a small fry. He just thought that Rocky was ridiculous and shook his head helplessly.
“Hmph, let’s see what you have to say when Rocky wins later!” Ashley glared at Lucas but quickly shut her mouth when she saw Alexander giving her a warning look.
“Ahem, Lucas, my sister is just that willful. Please don’t hold it against her!” Alexander quickly explained to Lucas after glaring at his sister.
Lucas smiled lightly. “It’s fine.”
Ashley was only around 23 or 24 years old, which was about the same age as Charlotte. She also came from a wealthy family, so it was normal for her to be a little spoiled.

Lucas naturally wouldn’t lower her status and bother with a young girl like her.
But he didn’t know that Ashley was further annoyed at Lucas because Alexander had glared at her and forced her to apologize to Lucas.
Suddenly, Alexander’s pupils constricted as he stared at the ring solemnly. “Godfrey’s fighter has appeared!”
Ashley was startled and quickly dismissed her other thoughts. She fixed her gaze on the burly man who had just stepped into the ring. There was a dragon tattoo on his muscular body, and he was obviously not to be trifled with.
Ashley said, “Rocky, carefully observe the man with the dragon tattoo. He’s one of your main opponents tonight. Take a good look at his moves and abilities!”
Only by understanding your opponent well could you win all battles. Rocky didn’t dare to be conceited and quickly answered, “Okay, I’ll stare at him.”
Soon, the match officially started.
The opponent opposite the burly man with the dragon tattoo was another muscular man with a buzz cut. Their auras and figures were similar.
In fact, the two of them were evenly matched opponents, and they engaged in an extremely exciting match.
The experts competing in the ring were not allowed to bring weapons, so all the moves they made were punches or kicks. It was a primitive fight, but it made everyone’s blood boil.
The two of them exchanged quick and menacing blows. Whenever someone was hit, the spectators would burst into cheers.
The layman watched the excitement, while the xperts observed their skills. Lucas narrowed his eyes and watched the two of them carefully.
Even he had to admit that the two of them were extremely competent, especially since they had only hit each other a few times. It wasn’t that they were poorly skilled, but rather, they were extremely quick at dodging, causing most of the other party’s attacks to miss.
As expected of an annual martial arts tournament, most participants were experts rarely seen in other places.
Lucas became even more interested in the owner of the club.
“Wow! So impressive!”
Ashley wasn’t proficient in martial arts. But after hearing the audience’s cheers and seeing the intense fight in the ring, she couldn’t help worrying.
Alexander’s face was a little gloomy. He could tell that the two people in the ring were very skilled. At least they were far stronger than him.
But the burly man with a dragon tattoo worked for Godfrey. So the stronger he was, the greater the threat to him.
Hearing Ashley’s compliments for the two people in the ring, Rocky immediately said with some dissatisfaction, “Miss Ashley, Mr. Alexander, don’t worry. Those two in the ring may look impressive, but their moves are nothing to boast about. When facing a powerful force, they will be defeated in one blow!”
Rocky clenched his fist and raised his head proudly.
Hearing this, Ashley and Alexander were relieved.
Since Rocky was so confident, it meant that his strength was above the two people in the ring.
“Rocky, you’re still the best! I’m sure you can represent us and defeat all the other experts!” Ashley clenched her tiny fists and cheered Rocky on with a smile.
Seeing this, Lucas shook his head slightly in amusement.
Rocky was really not that capable.
He couldn’t even tell how powerful the two fighters in the ring were and merely thought that they were fast without any strength. But he didn’t know that the explosive power they had shown was not weaker than Rocky’s. If Rocky fought them, he would definitely be no match for them.
But Rocky failed to realize this and was still conceited, thinking they were weak.
Lucas merely shook his head slightly. But unexpectedly, Ashley had been paying attention to his actions while watching the match because she wanted to pick on him.
Seeing Lucas shaking his head and smiling, she immediately rebuked loudly, “Why are you shaking your head? Do you think Rocky is wrong?”
Alexander frowned, unsure of what Lucas meant.
Rocky frowned and said coldly, “Are you questioning what I said? If you can’t give me a valid reason, I’ll teach you a lesson even if you’re Mr. Alexander’s friend!”
Lucas looked at the livid Rocky, who wanted to teach him a lesson, and his face turned gloomy.
Since Rocky was so hostile, he didn’t need to save his pride.
“What you said is indeed wrong. Actions speak louder than words. The two in the ring are far stronger than you, but you don’t realize it at all, and you’re still so complacent. You’re simply a frog in a well!”
