The old man’s face was extremely gloomy. A moment later, he gritted his teeth and said, “Punk, you’re really something, but we won’t forget what happened today!”
He was stepping back but still issued a threat.
Lucas laughed nonchalantly and left the fighting hall calmly.
Seeing Lucas leaving just like that, the spectators in the hall were all full of regret.
They had planned to watch Lucas continue competing until the end of the tournament, yet he left just like that!
!!
In particular, the guests who had bet on Lucas winning broke into commotion.
But they only complained to the staff in Club Illuma. None of them dared to go up to stop Lucas from leaving.
“What do you think?” After seeing Lucas leave, the other old man, who had been guarding Ashton, came over and asked with a grim look.
The old man who had fought with Lucas frowned deeply. “He’s indeed very strong. I’m afraid I’m no match for him. Anyway, we’d better report today’s matter to the Hills and see what the higher-ups decide.”
“Yes, that’s all we can do!”
After coming to a consensus, the two old men brought the unconscious Ashton back to the Hills residence.
Meanwhile, Jace and the white-bearded old men, who had witnessed everything, looked rather sullen.
They didn’t expect that things would turn out like this. Ashton was unconscious, and the two old men were too afraid to fight against Lucas, allowing him to leave unscathed.
This was completely different from the scene they had expected!
“Mr. White, can… can we really defeat Lucas Gray?” Jace’s heart was suddenly full of doubts, and he no longer looked as confident as before.
Whenever he saw Lucas, Lucas seemed to be even more powerful than before, making Jace feel extremely uneasy.

The white-bearded old man pondered for a while before saying, “We can’t go on like this. Tonight, I will take you somewhere. You have to improve your strength as soon as possible!”
After Jace heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
Somewhere… I can quickly improve my skills?
If I can be as powerful as Lucas or even surpass him, I won’t have to be afraid of anything anymore!
But despite rejoicing, the thought of Lucas’s terrifying skills made Jace worried again. “Lucas said he won’t let me off tonight. Can we… really succeed in leaving?”
“…” The white-bearded old man was silent for a while before finally saying, “He must have left instead of coming to you just now because he knows that Club Illuma belongs to the Hills and that it’s unlikely he’ll be able to take you away here.
“Moreover, since he already knows that you’re in Club Illuma, he might think you’ll keep hiding here and not dare to leave. In that case, we’ll do the opposite and immediately leave DC tonight. Afterward, it’ll be difficult for him to find us again!”
The old man revealed his plan.
After hearing this, Jace finally felt relieved and agreed.
Although Jace was a little reluctant to leave DC, thinking of the place the white-bearded old man was about to take him to and the possibility of becoming a peerless expert even more skilled than Lucas, he became enthusiastic again.

At the entrance of Club Illuma…
Just as Lucas stepped out of the entrance, two surprising cries came from a short distance away.
“Mr. Gray!”
“Lucas!”
Then two figures hurried over. They were Alexander and Ashley, who had left Club Illuma earlier.
“Lucas, are you alright?” Ashley asked, sizing Lucas up worriedly.
Lucas was honestly heartened to see that the two of them didn’t leave on their own but instead risked their lives to wait for him here to confirm his safety.
If something had really happened to Lucas here, the Hills probably wouldn’t have let them off.
At the very least, they were righteous and not ingrates.
Lucas shook his head and smiled. “I’m fine. It’s getting late. Let’s go home.”
Despite saying this, he remained still.
Alexander immediately knew that Lucas probably had something else to do, so he said, “Alright, since you’re fine, we can finally be at ease, Mr. Gray. Thank you for helping us out big time today. We’ll treat you to drinks another day for sure!”
Then Alexander patted Lucas on his back and left with Ashley.
“Alex, are we leaving just like that? What if the people in Club Illuma chase after Lucas to harm him?” Ashley asked worriedly after being dragged to the car while constantly turning around to look at Lucas.
Alexander sighed with a solemn expression. “Even if the people of Club Illuma really want to harm Mr. Gray, what can we do to help him? We’ll only be adding to his burden if we stay by his side!”
Ashley’s face immediately turned downcast, and she lowered her head without saying anything.
Alexander had a nagging feeling from Ashley’s abnormal behavior tonight, especially when the two of them were waiting for Lucas outside. She was on tenterhooks the whole time and kept staring intently at the entrance of Club Illuma. And when Lucas appeared, her eyes even lit up with excitement.
It was a look he rarely saw in his sister’s eyes.
Thinking of something, Alexander suddenly asked, “Ashley, tell me honestly. Have you fallen in love with Mr. Gray?”
“You… Alex… what are you saying?” Ashley’s face instantly turned red, and she stammered while avoiding eye contact with Alexander diffidently.
Seeing his sister’s behavior, he immediately let out a long sigh. He knew that she must have a crush on Lucas.
He knew how charming a handsome and powerful man like Lucas could be to women.
Alexander was speechless at the thought of how much Ashley had disliked Lucas at first and how they had almost gotten into a conflict, but she actually fell in love with him in less than two hours.
But there were still some things that he had to say. Otherwise, it would cause greater harm to his sister.
Alexander took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Ashley, I have to let you know that Mr. Gray is already married. He loves his wife very much, and they have a five-year-old daughter. They’re a very loving family.
“No other woman stands a chance.”
