Chapter 1074: True Agenda

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The layout of the fighting hall was just like a soccer field, with a circular ring in the center, surrounded by a steel wall. It was just like a cage placed upside down on the ground to prevent the audience from getting injured by accident and the participants from escaping.

After all, this was a place where brutal life-and-death fights took place. If someone wanted to escape at the brink of death, it was impossible to do so with this steel cage, and they would have no choice but to die in the ring.

This was what many spectators found exciting.

The audience was sitting around the room in staggered seats to ensure that the ones at the back could get a clear view of the ring.

There were also various screens and speakers around the fighting hall so that the sounds of the match could be transmitted to every corner of the hall in real time.

!!

At this moment, there were two bloodied and burly men fighting brutally in the ring, which was like a gladiator colosseum.

The fight was intense, and the sounds of the kicks and punches were constantly transmitted to the ears of everyone present. It felt as if they were fighting right next to them.

The spectators were watching with great excitement, screaming and roaring incessantly.

Here, everyone could release all their usually hidden inner emotions, so everyone was shouting without any care, their faces distorted.

The two fighters in the ring were quite skilled, not much weaker than the elite bodyguards of some major families.

Watching the fight in the ring, Alexander said, “It’s the finals of the annual tournament today, so the prize money is a huge amount. That’s why experts from all over the world have been attracted to this place.

“In addition, many consortiums and forces will send their people here to find suitable candidates for their own use.

“In the end, there may even be a conflict between two major forces because of a fighter. Fights over such issues are common occurrences here.”

Just as he finished speaking, the people in the hall roared thunderously. It turned out that the fight was over, and the victor raised his bloodied fist to greet the audience’s screams.

In contrast, the loser had already become a cold corpse on the floor and was soon carried away roughly, leaving behind only two wet stains on the floor.

The fresh blood underneath him would soon dry up and become an insignificant touch of color on the dark red ring.

Seeing this, Lucas felt some sadness in his heart.

They were all skilled experts. But once they stepped into the ring, they could only be reduced to playthings for the audience to laugh at. Those who failed wouldn’t even receive a tinge of pity and would only suffer from the scolding and curses of the people who had bet on them.

Alexander looked sympathetic as he said softly, “Actually, the people who can step into the ring for the championship every year are all strong experts from all over the world. But more than half of them will die in this ring without anyone remembering them.”

Lucas could see the complicated look of sadness in his eyes. At this moment, Alexander really felt sad for these people and wasn’t faking it.

“In that case, why do you want me to help you win tonight’s championship?” Lucas asked while staring at Alexander.

A bitter smile appeared on Alexander’s face. “There are some reasons I can’t reveal. If possible, I’d never want to step foot inside this hellhole.”

“I know you used to be from the Hutton family. In that case, you must know there’s a lot of injustice among top families like ours.

“My father was my grandfather’s most favored son. He was extremely outstanding, so he became the designated successor of the Steeles a long time ago. If he hadn’t died for the family’s sake a few years ago, my father would probably have already become the helmsman.

“Since my father passed away, his power and authority were taken over by my uncles. No matter which one of them becomes the helmsman, their successor will only be their son.

“So since then, I’ve been ostracized by them. And even though I’ve contributed more to the family than others of my generation, my status in the family has been declining, and my life has been getting worse.”

Lucas listened quietly.

In fact, what Alexander said was common among top families. Everything was a result of wealth and power. Everyone wanted to do their best to gain benefits for themselves, their children, and their grandchildren. Thus, they would inevitably suppress others.

Alexander continued, “The reason I’m here tonight is that there’s a bet among the Steeles regarding the annual tournament of Club Illuma.

“My grandfather has three sons, so the Steeles are currently divided into three camps, each of which controls many of the Steeles’ businesses. The championship tournament of Club Illuma each year is related to the distribution of the Steele’s businesses.

“Every year, each camp will look for powerful experts to represent their camp in the ring. The camp with the highest ranking will receive more businesses.

“My camp is much weaker than the other two, and I have fewer financial resources as well. I can’t invite powerful powerhouses, so I’ve lost for several years in a row.

“Furthermore, if I still lose this time, I’ll have even fewer businesses in hand. I’ll have to hand all of them to others, and in the future, there’ll be a place for me in the Steele family.”

A deep look of sorrow and resignation appeared on Alexander’s face.

Lucas was surprised.

As far as Lucas knew, the Steeles were very low-key among the top eight families of DC and wouldn’t easily fight or compete with the other families. But they also lacked communication with the other families, and others could only obtain a limited amount of information about them.

But Lucas didn’t expect the competition within the Steeles to be so intense, so much so that the descendants would even search for powerful experts to participate in the annual tournament of Club Illuma to determine the number of businesses each camp got.

This was definitely an effective method to stimulate the Steeles into searching for more powerhouses to join the family.

“During the auction yesterday, I happened to witness how powerful you are, Mr. Gray. That’s why I suddenly came up with this idea for you to help me win the championship of this year’s tournament. However, my request is indeed too abrupt, and it’s my fault for not communicating and discussing it with you in advance,” Alexander said with a bitter expression.
