Chapter 769: Heartwarming Moment

Edmund wasn’t worried about whether Lucas could beat Julian or not.

He said with a smile on his face, “Mr. Gray, with your current strength, the Peerless Martial Association is no match for you at all. When the time comes, you will be the lord of both California and Oregon, holding the power of hundreds of first-class families in your hands. With such a force, even the eight

giants of DC won’t dare to treat you with contempt!

“Tm really looking forward to October 15th. Haha!”

There was joy all over Edmund’s face, but Lucas wasn’t as optimistic as him.

“Tm afraid this competition won’t be that simple.”

‘When Edmund heard this, the smile on his face faded, and he asked solemnly, “Did you discover something?”

Lucas shook his head without any further explanation.

In fact, he didn’t hold any evidence in hand, but his inherent intuition told him that everything that had happened lately was extremely unusual.

In the previous years, the eight giants of DC had been standing at the top of the hierarchy in the country for a long time. Although the conflicts between them were inevitable, they would almost never interfere with the matters between the giants of other states.

But there was obviously a change in the pattern during this time.

For example, Vince, the successor of the Smiths, one of the eight giants of DC, wanted to take over California.

Florence, who had suddenly appeared in Orange County in the past couple of days, was from the Howards, which was also one of the eight giants of DC. Besides, Lucas was certain that she definitely wasn’t here just to acknowledge her daughter, Cheyenne.

In addition, the Peerless Martial Association’s actions were also extremely strange.

Before this, the Peerless Martial Association clearly never interfered with the feuds between the powerful families in the states. But at this moment, they had also made a declaration of their intention to take control of California and Oregon through this battle.

Of course, these were only a few families that Lucas knew about. He had no idea if there were other families that were secretly taking action.

But just by adding these unusual things together, Lucas felt that this matter was like a bottomless pool where he could never see what was still lurking below the surface of the water.

Edmund thought about it and said, “Since things are unusual, why don’t you just choose not to participate in the competition in seven days?

“You are now the esteemed Master of California. This is a fact that more than sixty families in California have recognized. Even if the Peerless Martial Association refuses to recognize it, it’ll be pointless! Besides, they are not qualified to send an invitation to provoke you!”

A look of annoyance appeared on his face. If the Peerless Martial Association hadn’t interfered, there wouldn’t have been such a nonsensical competition at all.

Lucas was already the Master of California right now, so why would he have to fight with them for the title once more?

Lucas looked at Edmund standing up for him and couldn’t help laughing. “No, I’m still going to attend the competition, even though this is indeed a provocation from the Peerless Martial Association.

“If I don’t show up, the Peerless Martial Association may think that I’m afraid of them, and they’ll probably act even more recklessly and arrogantly in the future. When the time comes, I’m afraid that it won’t be clear who the true Master of California is.

“So not only do I have to attend, but I also have to achieve a beautiful victory to give them a hard slap on the face to let them know who calls the shots in California!”

Lucas’s face was calm, but his tone of voice was full of dominance and aggression.

Edmund was a man who was determined and never afraid of sacrifice. He immediately said full of pride, “Yes! We’ll let those bastards know who calls the shots in California now!”

By the time Lucas returned to his home in the middle of Pearl Lake, it was already past 1 a.m.

At this moment, everyone in the family was already asleep.

Lucas took a shower in the bathroom downstairs and returned to his bedroom with light footsteps. Just as he was about to lie down on the bed, Cheyenne turned over and said softly, “You’re finally back.”

Only then did Lucas realize that Cheyenne had actually been lying on the bed, wide awake and obviously waiting for him.

‘When he went out earlier, he had merely told Cheyenne that he was going out to do something because the matter had been urgent. Cheyenne must have stayed up because she was worried about him.

Asense of guilt surged in Lucas’s heart.

He gently laid down on the bed, held Cheyenne’s hand, and said apologetically, “I’m sorry for making you worried and keeping you up so late.”

Cheyenne shook her head, and her soft hair brushed lightly over the pillow as she moved.

She said gently, “I’m your wife. I’m naturally worried about you, but it’s a good thing that you’re back.”

Cheyenne’s kindness and concern made Lucas feel a sense of bliss.

This is what home feels like.

‘When you’re outside, there’s always someone at home waiting for you and worrying about you. When you come home, they’ll be ready to welcome you with open arms and a reassuring smile. This was the happiness that Lucas wanted the most.

He lowered his head and kissed Cheyenne’s brow, only to find in surprise that Cheyenne had already fallen asleep.

It seemed that she was very sleepy and had only been forcing herself to stay awake because she was worried about him not being home yet.

After seeing him arrive home safely, she was completely relieved and fell asleep at ease.

Lucas gently brushed away the hairs in front of Cheyenne’s forehead and gazed at her beautiful sleeping face with complicated emotions. At the same time, he felt guilty.

He had previously promised Cheyenne that he would make her the happiest woman in the world.

But their life had never been able to calm down because he had been facing troubles one after another, leaving him without much free time to spend at home with his wife and daughter. Instead, he even made them worried.

But there were some things that he had to do.

As soon as he thought about how his mother had been treated, he knew that his trip to DC to confront the Huttons was inevitable.

Besides, the enemies he was facing now were becoming stronger and stronger.

Although Lucas was not afraid of danger, he was afraid that his wife and daughter would be in danger.

This was what he feared the most and felt the most guilty about.

Looking at Cheyenne, who had already fallen asleep, and Amelia, who was fast asleep in her bed with her limbs spread, a look of determination appeared in Lucas’s eyes.

No matter what, I will protect your safety and won’t let anyone hurt you in the slightest!

He took out his phone and immediately sent two messages.

“You must rush back to Orange County before October 15th!”
