At this moment, Alexander decided to go all out and take a gamble.

If they couldn’t win the brutal competition, their end would likely be death!

Alexander and Trevor had been at odds for years, and it could be said that there was a deep feud between them. If he lost this time and was driven out of the Steeles’ power core, Trevor would probably find a way to kill him.

At that time, not only would he be in a terrible plight, but even his younger sister and mother would be implicated!

If Lucas could help him win the tournament, it would definitely be a huge turning point for him. As long as his family was safe, he was willing to be at Lucas’s beck and call!

!!

Lucas glanced at Alexander and asked with raised brows, “I just killed Godfrey Steele in public. Why are you still asking me for help? Aren’t you afraid that your family will blame you?”

Alexander gritted his teeth. “Godfrey only has himself to blame. He ended up like that because he offended you! But if the family really pursues this matter, I’ll take full responsibility!”

Things had already come to a point where there was no other way out for him.

Once Trevor won, he wouldn’t be spared.

On the other hand, if Alexander won, his family might have other thoughts and not punish him.

This was the only place where Alexander could gamble.

Lucas looked at Alexander, who seemed to be going all out, and finally nodded. “I can promise you that if Trevor’s fighter participates in the tournament, I’ll meet him.”

Hearing this, Alexander and Ashley were immediately overjoyed, and they were on the verge of tears of joy as they thanked Lucas repeatedly.

…

Meanwhile, Jace and the white-bearded old man were sitting in a luxurious lounge on the upper floor of Club Illuma, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

When Jace recalled the feeling of almost being killed by Lucas, his heart surged with fear.

“You’ve seen how strong he is. He’s too strong. If I continue to go against him, I’ll only end up dying! You should let me go!”

There were red finger marks on Jace’s neck as he pleaded profusely.

The white-bearded old man sitting opposite him pulled a long face.

“Don’t forget I saved your life! If I hadn’t protected you, you would have already died at his hands!” The white-bearded old man looked at Jace gloomily.

Jace was on the verge of tears. “But I really can’t deal with him! I’m just the heir of a wealthy family. Even if I start learning martial arts from scratch, I won’t be able to match up to him. Since you’re so skilled, go deal with him yourself, okay?”

“Good-for-nothing!” the white-bearded old man shouted furiously and slapped Jace’s face. “Is that all you know how to do? Bringing yourself down while overestimating your opponent? If it wasn’t for your mother’s sake, I would have long killed a good-for-nothing like you!

“Don’t forget. The blood of the royals still courses through your veins, so you can’t possibly be inferior to an abandoned son who was kicked out of his family!

“Otherwise, what right do you have to become the successor of the royal family in the future?”

Hearing the last sentence, even Jace was astonished. “The successor… of the royal family?”

He gulped.

During this period of time, Jace knew that the white-bearded old man, who had been following him, protecting him, and even wanted to teach him some martial arts, was from the Whitley family, the branch of the royal family his mother belonged to.

But the white-bearded old man actually just said that he had a chance to become the successor of the royal family.

“Are you joking?” Jace subconsciously voiced out loud.

The white-bearded old man said proudly, “Of course I’m not joking! In the future, you will likely become the successor of the royal family, and Lucas Gray is just a stone to sharpen you!”

Jace was dumbfounded for a while, still unable to believe it. “Mr. White, although my mother is a part of the royal family and so am I, what makes me qualified to be the successor?”

Logically speaking, his mother was already married to Michael Huttons. So even though he carried the blood of the royals, he shouldn’t be a qualified heir.

Jace should be the successor of his father’s family, the Huttons, not the royal family on his mother’s side.

Of course, if he could choose, he would definitely pick the Whitleys because the Whitleys were far superior to the Huttons in power and status.

But it seemed too good to be true.

“Mr. White, I’m sure there are many descendants of the Whitleys. How can they possibly let me be the successor since I’m a Hutton?” Jace shook his head, still feeling as if he was dreaming.

The white-bearded old man looked at him and said calmly, “That’s because the Whitleys are now in a precarious position and are very likely to be removed from the royal family!

“If that happens, do you know the consequences that will entail?”

Jace was stunned for a moment, and he shook his head.

Although Jace’s mother was a Whitley, he had been raised by the Huttons and had almost no contact with his maternal family.

It was only when he fell from the roof of the abandoned hospital in Orange County some time ago that he found out that the white-bearded old man who rescued him was from the Whitleys.

Other than that, Jace didn’t have any dealings with the family.

The white-bearded old man said in a deep voice, “Once the Whitleys are stripped of their royal status, we will only end up being annihilated! The world is all about the survival of the fittest. You have to remember this!”

“How… how is that possible…” Jace subconsciously gulped in shock.

He originally thought that even if the Whitleys were removed from the royals, they would be equivalent to the eight top families of DC at worst and still be able to live in luxury.

But he didn’t expect that the Whitleys would face such a terrible fate once they were removed as royals!

“The Whitleys are rather weak compared to the other eight branches of the royal family in the first place, and we’re now facing the danger of annihilation. Therefore, every member of the family is trying to find ways to become stronger and keep the family’s status prominent.

“So although you’re only half a Whitley and were raised by the Huttons, you’re still regarded as a member of the family. And if you’re really competent enough, you might become the successor. Understand?

“As long as you can trample all over Lucas Gray, you’ll have the opportunity to become the successor of the royal family!”

What the white-bearded old man said was undoubtedly tempting, making Jace excited!
