Chapter 502: Unexpected Clues

Lucas could hear the expectant tone in Skylar’s voice, but there was also a tinge of obvious anxiousness in it as she looked at him nervously. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Do you not believe that I have the ability to do so?”

Skylar pursed her lips, but she nevertheless said, “I don’t know how much you know about the Peerless Martial Association, but it’s actually a colossal organization. There is not only an enormous amount of experts, but it also has forces and branches all over the world. They’re not to be trifled with. My abilities aren’t considered extraordinary, and there are many people much better at martial arts than I am. So even the eight major families of DC are trying their best to cooperate with the Peerless Martial Association. They don’t dare to be hostile to them either.

“So…” Looking at Lucas with a complicated expression, she said cautiously, “Going toe-to-toe against the Peerless Martial Association will bring about a huge tragedy if you’re not careful. I have to inform you about this. Actually, I’m very grateful to you for saving my life yesterday, so you don’t have to…”

Before Skylar could finish speaking, Lucas interrupted her. “It’s just a Peerless Martial Association. It’s no big deal. What I said last night still stands. If they come to me on their own, I don’t mind just destroying them altogether!”

Lucas was not being arrogant.

In fact, Jordan had already found some information about the Peerless Martial Association and sent it to him. Although the Peerless Martial Association indeed had a lot of forces and branches all over the country and even the world, there were actually not that many experts in this world.

Those on par with Lucas were few and far between.

If there was really such a powerful opponent, Lucas would actually be a little interested.

Skylar was once again shocked by Lucas’s assertiveness and confidence.

But the strange thing was that even though it sounded extremely far-fetched and unbelievable, she didn’t have the slightest doubt that the man in front of her could really do such a thing!

She stood still and pondered about it for a moment before suddenly saying, “I want to know how you know about the Bladeless Sword. Did you and my grandfather… know each other?”

Previously, on Caldo Mountain, Lucas had kicked the Bladeless Sword toward her, and while doing so, he had mentioned its name and said that it was an item left behind by a martyr. Skylar was very concerned about this.

A trace of reminiscence and nostalgia appeared in Lucas’s eyes before he shook his head. “I’ve never met the senior who wielded the Bladeless Sword before, but I’m aware of his name and his heroic deeds because I’m from Calico just like him. He’s considered a comrade of mine whom I’ve never met. Do you understand now?”

A look of surprise appeared in Skylar’s eyes. She didn’t expect the young man in front of her to also be from Calico, this mysterious and sacred place.

She immediately felt a little more affection for Lucas, and she relaxed too. The decision she had been pondering over for a night became clearer.

“I was wrong about assassinating you previously, and I’m very sorry for it! You saved me yesterday and even thought of helping me. I hope that I can stay by your side and be at your disposal!” Skylar suddenly said firmly.

Lucas was slightly surprised.

Although he did think about recruiting Skylar, he didn’t expect her to take the initiative to pledge allegiance to him so soon.

Lucas naturally didn’t decline and merely asked, “What’s going on with you and those people last night? Why did they say you’re a traitor and want to take you back with them?”

A touch of remorse appeared on Skylar’s face, and she didn’t bother hiding it at all. “For some reason, I joined the Peerless Martial Association a few years ago. I initially thought that it was just a loose organization that held sparring sessions between people skilled in martial arts. However, I didn’t expect to have gradually discovered that the scale of the Peerless Martial Association is so enormous. Furthermore, there are lots of sordid businesses going on, which includes assassination.

“I initially didn’t want to do these kinds of things, but I already mistakenly got myself into trouble, so I couldn’t leave easily. I had no choice but to take on some tasks, lest they continued compelling me. One of those tasks was the assassination you faced on Caldo Mountain that day.

“But that night, your warning awakened me and made me realize that my cowardice of not daring to resist was simply helping villains do evil. If my late grandfather knew about it, he would probably be ashamed of me!”

Skylar smiled self-deprecatingly. “In short, from that day on, I made up my mind that I had to break away from the Peerless Martial Association and leave with a clean slate so that I wouldn’t disgrace the reputation of the Bladeless Sword my grandfather left behind!

“However, the Peerless Martial Association has very strict management of its members, and I couldn’t leave that easily. I had no choice but to leave on my own, but it was seen as a betrayal of the Peerless Martial Association. That’s why they sent people to capture me and take me back. If it wasn’t for your help yesterday, I’m afraid that I would have become a corpse left in the wilderness.”

Lucas nodded and continued to ask, “Do you remember them saying that the chief won’t let you off if you don’t return? Who is the chief?”

Skylar quickly explained, “The Peerless Martial Association has several forces all over the world, and those people who came to kill me last night but ended up getting killed by you are from the branch in San Francisco.

“In addition, there are other branches in various cities and counties. In each branch, there are other subordinate organizations. The person in charge of each branch is called a chief and directly under the orders of the president of the Peerless Martial Association. Of course, because the Peerless Martial Association places great emphasis on strength, each chief is very strong.”

Lucas didn’t care much about this and instead asked, “The Peerless Martial Association forced you to do some disgusting things like assassinating others. Was there anything else?”

Skylar nodded and said honestly, “Yes, apart from assassination, there are many other terrible things. As long as it’s a task that offers easy money, the Peerless Martial Association will basically agree to it. They’re also secretly supporting a lot of powerful families and forces.

“Oh, right, and they also ask members to go around to solicit beautiful women and send them to powerful families and forces as social escorts used in exchange for benefits. Although I haven’t done such a thing, I’ve witnessed it several times.”
