Chapter 1078: Throwing His Weight Around

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Ashley, is this the so-called top expert you found?” Alexander asked sullenly.

Ashley’s face looked embarrassed as she looked in the direction Rocky had fled in and then said diffidently, “Alex… maybe he really went to the restroom? He said… he would be right back…”

Alexander said furiously, “If he comes back, I’ll chop off my head and kick it like a ball!”

When they saw how confident Rocky was just now, they really thought that he was a top expert and were full of expectations and hope for the competition this time, thinking they had a shot at winning.

But shockingly, Rocky was nothing but a trumpet blower who only knew to brag about his skills and ended up fleeing in panic before it was even his turn to fight.

!!

“Alex, I’m sorry! I didn’t expect him to flee at the last moment!” Ashley was on the verge of tears, her heart filled with anger and guilt.

“Ahh, it’s not your fault. You didn’t know he was such a person.” Alexander sighed and stroked his sister’s hair to comfort her. “It’s okay. Even if we lose again this time and have our businesses and properties taken away, we can just leave the Steeles at worst. It’s no big deal.

“With our ability, we can start anew.”

Although Rocky’s sudden escape made Alexander disappointed and furious, he knew that it wasn’t Ashley’s responsibility, so he could only comfort her to the best of his abilities.

Suddenly, thunderous cheers erupted. It turned out that the fight between the two in the ring had ended. The burly man with the dragon tattoo won, while the one with the buzzcut died in the ring.

He had received a heavy blow to the face, causing a dent to form. He had died on the spot in a miserable state.

While the corpse of the man with the buzzcut was dragged away, the burly man stood in the center of the ring and raised his fist in the air to greet the cheers of the audience.

So far, the man with the dragon tattoo was the strongest fighter present.

Of course, there were other powerful experts who had yet to appear, so no one knew who the champion of the tournament would be.

“Hey, isn’t this Alexander Steele? I thought you wouldn’t show up because you know you knew you wouldn’t have a shot at winning!”

A young man in his thirties walked over with a smile. Behind him was a burly man with a tattoo of a black dragon on his arm. He was none other than the one who had won in the ring just now.

Because this burly man had just killed someone in the ring, he was now exuding a bloodthirsty aura that made people too afraid to approach him.

When Ashley saw the man with the dragon tattoo coming closer, she subconsciously shrank back. But as soon as she heard what the young man said to Alexander, she flew into a rage and forgot all about her fear.

“Godfrey, don’t throw your weight around here!” Ashley said furiously.

“Throwing my weight around?” Godfrey threw his head back and laughed. “So what if I’m throwing my weight around? It’s because I have the power to do it! But what about you? Do you have that power?

“Speaking of which, your branch has been losing for several years in a row, and you don’t have many businesses left, right? If you lose again this time, you will have no status left among the Steeles!

“I think we should just get Grandpa to kick you all out, lest you leech off us and make others think that the Steeles are all a bunch of good-for-nothings like you two!”

Godfrey was extremely smug, and his words were very callous.

Even though Alexander was usually cultured and well-mannered, what Godfrey said still angered him.

“Godfrey Steele, stop being so smug!

“Even if I really get kicked out of the family by Grandpa, the blood of the Steeles is still coursing through my veins, and I’ll forever be your cousin! As long as I can make some achievements, I’ll be able to return to the family sooner or later!

“You’re not the successor of the Steeles now. Stop behaving arrogantly with me and acting like you’re already the next helmsman! You’re in no place to do it!

“If you really piss me off, I’ll definitely drag you down even if I get kicked out of the family!”

Alexander glared at Godfrey and issued an undisguised threat.

Hearing this, Godfrey pulled a long face.

Indeed, although Alexander’s status in the Steele family was no longer as powerful as before, he was still a scion of the family and was not to be trifled with.

If he really angered Alexander and provoked him into going all out to drag him down with him, he really might suffer a loss.

In that case, the other competitors for the position of the family’s helmsman would gain an advantage.

After thinking for a moment, Godfrey gritted his teeth and said, “All you can do is say some threats in front of me now. If you have what it takes, try dragging me down!

“Since you dare to threaten me, then I’ll also give you a warning. Once I become the successor of the Steeles, the first person I will deal with is you! Not only will I drive you out of the Steeles, but I will also make sure you can never get a foothold in DC and will have no choice but to leave the city like a dog!”

Alexander said coldly, “That’s if you have what it takes to become the successor!”

“Hmph, that day will come sooner or later. Just wait for me!” Godfrey said furiously and turned around to leave.

But he was so exasperated that he accidentally stumbled and knocked into Lucas, who was two meters away.

Godfrey was so angry that he didn’t even look at who was in front of him. He just raised his hand to slap Lucas in the face. “Damn it! How dare you block me? You have a death wish!”

Alexander’s expression changed drastically, and he yelled, “Godfrey, stop it!”

Ashley was shocked too. Although she didn’t like Lucas, he was still her brother’s friend after all. Besides, Godfrey was clearly the one who wasn’t careful and bumped into Lucas. What right did he have to hit Lucas?

“Godfrey…”

Before Ashley could persuade him, she couldn’t help shrieking when she saw that Godfrey’s slap was about to hit Lucas’s face.

Smack!

A loud slap sounded. She could tell from the sound that the slap was definitely strong.

But the next moment, Ashley’s eyes suddenly widened. She couldn’t believe what was happening in front of her!

After the loud slap, Lucas was still standing in place calmly as if nothing had happened. On the other hand, Godfrey, who was standing in front of him, was flung several meters away!

This scene dumbfounded everyone.
