MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 6 - Season 8 Episode 74

Ever since Lucas effortlessly struck him back that day, Andy kept feeling that Lucas was an extremely complicated person. Previously, he had wondered if Lucas might be the mysterious Master of California and mentioned it to Florence. But she had denied it outright.

Later on, he had suggested to Florence that she should investigate more about Lucas. But she thought that Lucas was just a wastrel kicked out by the Huttons and that there was no point in investigating him.

So although Andy was feeling extremely uneasy, he didn’t want to tell Florence about his conjectures anymore.

“Aunt Florence.”

At this moment, a beautiful woman wearing a beige trench coat got out of a car nearby. She was Pamela, Florence’s niece.

She didn’t want to come here at first, but Florence had informed her early in the morning that she had to come and take a look at the heroic appearance of the legendary Master of California. She couldn’t out-argue her aunt, so she could only come.

But her car was parked a little farther away, and she happened to miss Lucas’s appearance.

‘When she got closer, she found that Florence had a sullen expression and couldn’t help asking doubtfully, “Aunt Florence, did someone make you angry just now?”

Florence took two deep breaths to calm the anger within her before saying, “It’s nothing. It’s merely a brat who doesn’t know any better.

“Forget it. Let’s not talk about this. The martial arts competition is about to begin soon. We’d better enter the venue quickly! You’ll be able to witness the heroic Master of California soon!”

A trace of impatience immediately appeared on Pamela’s face.

She had already made it clear to Florence that she had no interest in the Master of California and wouldn’t agree to marry him. She was upset that her aunt kept forcing her.

“Aunt Florence, there are too many people here. I think I’d better give it a pass,” Pamela said and then turned around to walk out of the parking lot.

“Hey! Pamela, wait a minute. don’t leave!” Florence hurriedly grabbed Pamela’s arm and persuaded her like a caring elder. “Okay, I understand your point, but we’re already here, so why don’t we just go in to take a look? I mean, there’s nothing to lose from doing this, right? As for whether you can like the

Master of California, let’s wait until after the competition, okay?”

Although Florence wished that Pamela wouldn’t get involved with the Master of California, there were still some superficial motions she needed to go through. Otherwise, when the Howards asked about it, if they found out that she didn’t even bring Pamela to attend the martial arts competition where the

Master of California would appear, she wouldn’t be able to answer to the family.

Under Florence’s repeated persuasion, Pamela eventually stayed and entered the San Francisco International Expo Center.

Meanwhile, Lucas had already walked to one of the entrances of the expo center and was about to enter.

“Huh? Are you… Lucas Gray?” A slightly familiar male voice came from behind Lucas.

Lucas stopped and turned around to take a look.

Ashort distance behind him, a young man was walking over with surprise written all over his face. Beside him were two women dressed to the nines. One of them was holding onto the arm of the young man.

Lucas took a closer look at the young man and revealed a surprised expression. “It’s you, Asher Holmes! It’s been years since we’ve met!”

Asher walked over to hug Lucas excitedly and patted his back twice. “It looked like you in the distance just now, but I didn’t dare to acknowledge you. It tuned out to be you! We haven’t seen each other for years!”

Asher and Lucas had been classmates in high school, and they had gotten along pretty well.

At the time, Lucas was only 17 years old, and due to poverty, he often dressed shabbily and didn’t have good food to eat. He was gaunt and often bullied in school.

Back then, Asher was tall and burly, and he had a great sense of justice. He couldn’t tolerate seeing Lucas get bullied, so he would often help him. Thus, the two of them became very close friends.

But after graduating from high school, the former classmates went their separate ways.

It had been nearly ten years since they last met.

At this moment, the two of them were naturally excited.

“Lucas, I didn’t expect to meet you here today. Are you also here to see the martial arts competition?” Asher asked excitedly.

Just as Lucas was about to answer him, the woman holding onto Asher’s arm suddenly snorted with laughter. “Asher, are you blind? Look at how he’s dressed. Does he look like someone who can afford to enter the venue? He probably works here!”

‘The woman’s voice was slightly high-pitched, and she was looking at Lucas with clear contempt in her eyes.

Lucas’s simple outfit was indeed very ordinary.

The people attending the martial arts competition today were all from the powerful families of California and Oregon. Those who could afford the expensive tickets were all wealthy and powerful, which was apparent from the way they dressed.

And Lucas’s clothes were so ordinary that they seemed to cost less than a hundred dollars. Indeed, he didn’t look like he could afford the expensive tickets for the competition.

Asher understood. Lucas’s family had been poor since he was in high school, so it made sense that he couldn’t afford to buy a ticket to the venue.

He was afraid that his girlfriend’s words would be too straightforward and embarrass Lucas, so he hurriedly changed the subject. He said with a smile, “It’s okay, buddy. I just happen to have an extra ticket here. I’ll give it to you!”

Then he took out a ticket for the expo center from his pocket to hand to Lucas.

But as soon as Asher stretched his hand out, a hand with fingernails painted with bright red nail polish immediately reached over from the side and took the ticket away.

“Asher, are you out of your mind? Do you know how much this ticket can be sold for here? Look at all the people gathered outside. They’re all trying their best to get tickets to watch the competition! As long as I take this ticket and announce that I’m selling it, it will immediately sell for more than thirty

grand!

“But you actually want to give away this expensive ticket for nothing? I don’t agree with that!” Asher’s girlfriend said with a sullen face.

Asher looked extremely embarrassed and a little upset. “Anyway, we have exactly one extra ticket in our hands, and you didn’t intend to sell it at first, so what’s wrong with giving it to my buddy? Are you going to keep it and waste it?”

His girlfriend rolled her eyes. “Who said I was going to keep it and waste it? I promised to give this ticket to my friend a long time ago, but he hasn’t arrived yet!”

Then she placed the ticket directly into the Givenchy clutch in front of Asher and Lucas, making it clear that she wasn’t willing to give it to Lucas.

This time, Asher’s face was covered with displeasure..
