The helmsmen of these prestigious families felt a strong urge to curse.
At the Elite Business Exchange exchange a week ago, Lucas had managed to rise to become the leader of all the powerful families in California with his domineering and powerful strength. After an intense competition that lasted for over two hours, Lucas had managed to gain the allegiance of countless
powerful families and become the Master of California.
Although a small number of families weren’t convinced, the unification of California without any turmoil was already something worth celebrating for them.
However, the peace was short-lived. Just a few days later, they had to experience the terrifying process of picking a side to stand on again, which made all of them horrified.
During the last Elite Business Exchange, the helmsmen of four families were killed on the spot by Axel for standing on the wrong side. The Kingstons and the Walkers had also been eradicated overnight.
If they accidentally stood on the wrong side this time, who knows what kind of fate they would face!
Under this pressure that concerned the future of the entire family, many families held emergency meetings to discuss what choice they should make.
“The Peerless Martial Association is really aggressive this time. It’s said that they invited several top experts from the headquarters. That’s why they provoked Mr. Gray!”
“also heard that the Taylors’ extermination was actually done by that expert from the Peerless Martial Association to establish dominance!”
“Hey, two powerful forces are fighting each other. What can our small families do? In case we’re on the wrong team, we’ll be dead meat!”
“Isn’t that the case? Whether it’s the Peerless Martial Association or Mr. Gray, they’re both extremely powerful. We really don’t know which side to stand on!”
Among the powerful families in California, there were such voices almost everywhere.
Ina luxurious villa in Orange County, Florence was sitting in the garden with a look of impatience.
Since she came to California, things hadn’t been developing well, making her wonder if California was not the place for her.
At this moment, a middle-aged bodyguard with sunglasses walked up to Florence and reported to her, “Madam, we just got the news that Alex Fox, the head of the California branch of the Peerless Martial Association, has sent invitations to all the big families in California. It says that a martial arts
competition will be held at 9:00 a.m. on October 15th at the International Exhibition Center in Orange County, and the purpose of the event is to formally determine the true Master of California!”
The middle-aged bodyguard was Andy, who had been following beside Florence.
Florence’s face showed a hint of surprise. “What did you say? The Peerless Martial Association is actually going to compete with Mr. Gray for the position of the Master of California? I heard that the Peerless Martial Association has always stayed out of the affairs between these powerful families! What’s
going on?”
Andy said, “That’s right. It used to be the case in the past, and the California branch of the Peerless Martial Association has almost never interfered in any disputes between the powerful families in California. However, the situation has now changed. I also heard that Julian of the Peerless Martial
Association headquarters has also come to Orange County. I’m afraid he’s the reason that the Peerless Martial Association sent the invitations.”
“Julian York? He actually came to Orange County?” Florence looked even more shocked.
The Peerless Martial Association was a powerful force in DC. And because the Peerless Martial Association’s headquarters was in DC, Florence was familiar with Julian.
Even in DC, where there were countless talented people, Julian was a famous top expert.
This time, he had personally come to Orange County, and it seemed that he was determined to obtain the status of the Master of California.
Andy nodded. “It’s Julian York. That’s not all. Last night, he already created a bloodbath at the Taylor residence on his own. He killed more than a hundred people of the Taylor family, and I heard it’s because they’re related to the death of his brother, Jude. Moreover, his action is also a show dominance
toward the Master of California.
It seems that something big is indeed about to happen here in California.” Florence smiled and thought about how the change in the situation would affect her trip to California this time.
She came to California on the order of the Howards, and her greatest mission was to find a way to befriend the Master of California and, better yet, rope him in. In order to fulfill this, the family had even gotten her to bring the Howards’ most suitable heiress, Pamela, to get into a marriage alliance with
him.
But so far, Florence had yet to even see the Master of California. Rather, she hadn’t even figured out who he really was. But the Peerless Martial Association had already begun to challenge the Master of California.
The Howards and the Peerless Martial Association shared the same goal of wanting to take over California and make this place of riches their own.
However, the Howards wanted to win over the Master of California and use him to indirectly take control of California, while the Peerless Martial Association was much more domineering and wanted to use force to take away the Master of California’s authority to directly control California.
The Peerless Martial Association’s move was indeed a big variable to Florence’s initial plan.
Once the Peerless Martial Association really seized the position of the Master of California, Florence’s plan to win over the current Master of California through marriage would naturally have to be aborted.
Florence’s brows furrowed tightly, and she didn’t speak for a long time.
“Madam, there are too many variables in this matter. I think we should immediately report to the family so that they can make a decision!” Andy persuaded.
This matter concerned way too many things. Once something went wrong, the Howards’ plan to seize control of California would be completely ruined.
Florence raised her head and looked at Andy, her eyes full of warning. “Andy, I don’t like people who talk too much. Remember who you are. I’m the only one who can make decisions!”
Yesterday, Florence had intended to get her daughter, Cheyenne, to marry the Master of California in place of Pamela, going against the Howards’ decision. At the time, Andy had been too talkative and accidentally said something that made Florence displeased.
Now, Andy had interjected again and tried to tell her what to do while she was still pondering, thus making Florence, who had always been arrogant, fly into a rage. She couldn’t tolerate his behavior at all.
Andy was startled and hurriedly explained, “Sorry, I… I’m just worried that the situation here in California has changed too much, and I’m afraid that your mission will fail. That’s why I was talkative…”
“Enough!” Florence interrupted hostilely and said coldly, “You just have to be responsible for my safety and obey my orders. I’ll be in charge of everything else. Do you hear me?”
“Yes, Madam! I remember!”
No matter what Andy was really thinking, he still agreed respectfully.
Florence naturally didn’t want to report the incidents that happened in California to her family. Once the Howards knew that even the Peerless Martial Association was involved, they would definitely take action and arrange for other people to handle the matter.
She had initially made plans for some things, but they probably had to fall through. Of course, Florence couldn’t tolerate it.
“In short, let’s wait and observe for now, Don’t disclose a single word to the family!” Florence stared at Andy and instructed sternly..
