“You’re here, Alex!” A crisp and clear female voice suddenly sounded from behind them.

Lucas and Alexander turned around and saw a slender beauty walking over with the company of a muscular man.

“Ashley, why are you here?” Alexander said with surprise. Then he frowned and said, “This isn’t a place for girls. You should quickly go home!”

Ashley pursed her lips and said firmly, “Alex, I’m your sister and a Steele too!”

Then she pointed at the muscular man behind her. “He’s a peerless powerhouse I invited. He once won the championship in an underground boxing tournament abroad. He’s extremely strong!”

Hearing this, Alexander was over the moon. He looked at the muscular man and asked politely, “Sir, how should I address you?”

The muscular man smiled. “Mr. Alexander, just call me Rocky.”

Many martial arts practitioners would usually use an alias, so Rocky was a suitable name for him.

“Alright. Rocky, are you confident about tonight’s competition?” Alexander asked with concern.

Rocky looked at the two experts fighting brutally in the ring and said confidently, “I should be able to manage. At least I’m much stronger than the two in the ring. I dare not say that I’ll be able to win tonight’s championship, but I’ll definitely be among the top three!”

Hearing Rocky’s confident words, Ashley was very excited, and she said to Alexander proudly, “Alexander! I told you the expert I found is extremely strong. We will definitely win today!”

“Great!” Alexander was overjoyed. If Rocky could really make it into the top three, the other two camps of the Steeles might not be able to compare.

The Steeles’ representatives hadn’t been able to take the top spots in the previous annual tournaments of Club Illuma.

While everyone was feeling excited, Lucas suddenly said, “It won’t be that easy to make it into the top three.”

As soon as he said this, the expressions on Alexander’s and Ashley’s faces froze.

Rocky narrowed his eyes and stared at Lucas hostilely.

Ashley had worked hard to find an expert, but Lucas just had to be a wet blanket, so she was naturally displeased.

But she still remembered that Lucas was her brother’s friend, so she asked, “Alex, who is this?”

Alexander also has a tinge of dissatisfaction in his heart, but at the thought of Lucas’s identity and skills, he began hesitating.

He introduced to Ashley, “Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Mr. Lucas Gray, the chairman of the Stardust Corporation.”

Then he introduced to Lucas, “Mr. Gray, this is Ashley, my younger sister.”

Ashley looked at Lucas, crinkled her nose in displeasure, and harrumphed coldly without greeting him.

She was extremely displeased with Lucas’s remark because she had gone to great lengths to find an expert for this competition. Moreover, he had just confidently said that he could be among the top three. Yet Lucas was being a wet blanket by saying that it wouldn’t be easy to make it to the top three. This was akin to saying that Rocky wouldn’t be able to make it to the top three.

Alexander hurriedly rebuked, “Ashley, how can you be so rude?”

Although Lucas hadn’t promised to help him compete in the tournament, Alexander still didn’t want to offend him and cause a strain on their relationship.
