MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 6 - Season 8 Episode 75

Seeing that Asher seemed about to get into a tiff with his girlfriend because of this, Lucas hurriedly said, “It’s fine. I can go in. Don’t worry.”

Although he hadn’t seen Asher for nearly ten years, Lucas knew that Asher’s family wasn’t wealthy.

Furthermore, based on the situation just now, although Asher’s attire was decent, his girlfriend’s was much more luxurious than his. She was covered in famous name-brand clothes, and the jewelry on her body was worth over a hundred thousand dollars. She was likely a wealthy heiress.

Lucas could tell from her rude behavior toward Asher that she was the dominant one in the relationship.

In that case, Lucas didn’t want his former best friend to get into an argument with his girlfriend because of him.

Besides, as the protagonist of the event, Lucas could enter the venue without a ticket.

After being refuted by his girlfriend in public, Asher felt extremely ashamed toward Lucas and said apologetically, “Lucas, it’s alright. I’l think of a solution for you and try to get you another ticket as soon as possible. Wait for me here.”

Then he walked out of the expo center. On his way here, he had seen a few scalpers at the entrance and planned to try his luck there.

Lucas felt touched by Asher’s action.

A close friend whom he hadn’t met in nearly a decade actually racked his brains to come up with a solution to help him. It was rather rare.

But he really didn’t need Asher to get him a ticket.

Lucas hurriedly grabbed Asher and was about to speak when Asher’s girlfriend said coldly, “Didn’t you hear him saying that he can go in by his own means? He doesn’t need your help!”

Asher frowned. “How can he enter without a ticket? He’s just afraid of troubling me because he saw you put the ticket away. That’s why he said that.”

His girlfriend raised her eyebrows and was about to lose her temper when the other woman, who had been keeping silent, said sarcastically, “There are many ways to enter! He has plenty of reasons to enter, especially since he works here. What are you worried about?”

Asher looked at the tight security around the entrance and immediately frowned. “It’s the day of the competition that will decide the ruler of California and Oregon. The people who can enter the venue are all rich, so the security measures here today are extremely strict. All of them are powerful experts,

and they won’t let anyone try to fool their way in!”

He looked at Lucas and said seriously, “So, buddy, don’t get the wrong idea. Don’t try to find a way to mix in with the crowd to sneak in, or you’ll be in deep trouble! If it’s serious, you might even die!

“How about this? I have about thirty thousand in this card. Take it and go outside to buy a ticket from a scalper!”

He took out a bank card from his wallet and passed it to Lucas.

While Lucas was still surprised by Asher’s action, his girlfriend had already snatched the bank card from him. She pointed her finger at him and lashed out furiously. “Damn it, Asher! How dare you give my money to someone else?!”

Asher didn’t expect his girlfriend to bring him down and put him to shame repeatedly in front of his friend, whom she had done the same to as well. He felt that she was going overboard.

“Lily, that’s my card!” Asher shouted angrily as he tried to snatch the card back from her.

Lily put her hands behind her back to hide the bank card from Asher. She cursed, “What do you mean your bank card? You’re now a penniless man, and I pay all your expenses! Even the money in this card I transferred to you!

“You’re just freeloading off of me now. Don’t you heve a clear understanding of your current status? What right do you have to let someone else use my money?”

Ashen was so infuriated that his face turned beet red. “What… what did you say?!”

“Am I wrong? You managed to live till now by freeloading! If not for my family employing you and me providing for you, would you still be able to live as good as you are now?

“Asher, I’m warning you. Everything you have now, you got from me! Now, you actually want to use my money to do someone else a favor! You’ve really pissed me off. Get lost now and stay with your penniless loser friend!”

With anger written all over her face, Lily even reached out to scratch Asher a few times.

“Yeah, Lily is right. Asher, you’re just lucky that Lily has taken a liking to you. Thanks to her, you can live a comfortable life! You can’t forget your roots! If you upset Lily, you won’t be able to make it up to her!” the woman beside Lily chimed in sarcastically.

Asher was so embarrassed that his face turned pale.

He clenched his hands tightly, and the veins on his hand were popping, seemingly about to explode.

But in the end, his shoulders dropped, and he slowly unclenched his fists despondently.

He looked at Lucas apologetically and parted his lips a few times with difficulty before saying with a bitter smile, “I’m sorry, buddy. I…”

Before he could finish, Lucas reached out to pay Asher’s shoulder and said with a smile, “It’s nothing. I’m glad to see that you still consider me a close friend after so many years.

“Besides, I really don’t need you to help me buy a ticket. Don’t worry about it. You can go inside. I’ll see you there later.

“Don’t worry. I definitely won’t sneak in and get caught!”

After all, they were adults, and Lucas could understand Asher’s difficulties. He didn’t want Asher to feel bad or be put in a spot because of him.

But Lily sneered. “Hah, the venue is strictly guarded today. Not any Tom, Dick, or Harry can sneak in!

“The ones here today are all from the top families of California and Oregon. The others qualified to go in and watch are worth at least millions. Someone over here should really reflect on themselves and consider if they’re qualified to sit with these people!

“Besides, the mysterious new Master of California will also appear at the competition today. Many people are here for him. He’s a top powerhouse. How can some loser be able to meet him easily?”

Lily gave Lucas the side-eye and said mockingly, “If you can go in, I’ll eat this bank card in my hand on the spot!”
