Chapter 746: Half-Truths

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At this moment, Florence’s face was extremely sullen.

Edmund was right. ‘Ihey were in California, on the Coles’ turf, where Edmund

could command as many people as he wanted.

Andy was the only expert she had brought to protect her.

She wanted to force Edmund with her power, but Edmund didn’t buy it at all.

If the two sides really fought each other, Andy might be able to kill Edmund,

but the two of them definitely wouldn’t be able to survive under the guns of the

Coles’ bodyguards.

Besides , Florence’s main purpose in coming to California this time was to win

over the Master of California. Thus, it wasn’t a good idea to make enemies of

the powerful families of California.

Moreover, there used to be three top families in San Francisco. But after the

exchange, the other two families vanished, leaving only the Coles. This was

enough to show that the Coles and the Master of California had an

extraordinary relationship.

Unless necessary, Florence wouldn’t dare to make enemies of the Coles.

“Okay, you’re fierce!” Florence forced herself to say through gritted teeth as her

chest heaved up and down vigorously.

She was in a terrible mood.

Ever since she came to Califomia, starting from when she had visited the four

major families of Orange County, she hadn’t been able to get any useful

information.

Lucas had even reprimanded her mercilessly, making her infuriated.

Now, she still didn’t gain the slightest benefit from the Coles. Not only did she

not get any news about the Master of Califomia, but Edmund even told her to

leave without the slightest regard for the threat of the Howards.

An extremely absurd thought suddenly emerged in Florence’s mind, and she

wondered if the influence and deterrence of the prestigious Howards had

become so neak in California.

If her family learned about her repeated setbacks, who knew how they would

laugh at her and ridicule her!

It would absolutely be shameful!

Florence was full of anger, but she couldn’t vent it. Her face became extremely

gloomy.

But the thought of her family s order for her to build a good relationship with

the Master of Califomia left Florence uith no choice but to put up with it.

After taking a final glance at Edmund, she said to Andy beside her, “Let’s go!”

“Goodbye!” Edmund said viithout seeing Florence off. Instead, he remained

seated leisurely and continued drinking tea.

Florence’s face became even gloomier, and she angrily left the Coles with Andy.

But the moment Florence disappeared outside the gates of the Cole residence,

Edmund immediately put down his teacup, took out his cell phone, and called

Lucas to tell him about the situation in detail.

In response to Edmund telling Florence to leave, Lucas merely said, “Well

done!”

Lucas was really impressed with Edmund.

Doesn’ t Florence like leveraging the Howards’ power to bully people

everywhere?

Then let her also have a taste of being crushed and suppressed!

As for the possible retaliation of the Howards that she said , Lucas didn’t take it

seriously at all.

At about the same time, a distinguished guest appeared in the San Francisco

branch of the Peerless Martial Association.

As the domineering and overwhelming figure stepped inside the branch, an

extremely powerful pressure immediately engulfed everyone.

“Welcome, Mr. York!”

“Welcome, Mr. York!”

Under the lead of Axel, the branch head, and Heath, his assistant, everyone in

the California branch put their right hands in front of their left chests and

The person who came was none other than Julian York from the headquarters.

Julian ignored the other people of the Peerless Martial Association and stared

straight at Axel with his haw-k like eyes. “l just need you to tell me how my

brother, Jude, died.”

A trace of grief appeared on Axel’s face. The murderer of Jude is named Lucas

Gray, and today, he’s well known as the Master of California!”

“Master of Califomia. Hmph!” A clear trace of mockery appeared on Julian’s

face. Seems like hes really brazen. How dare he use the title the Master of

California ?!

Seeing that he had succeeded in provoking Julian’s hostility toward Lucas, Axel

smiled smugly. “Mr. York, please listen to me slowly, and you will know why

despite having no definite evidence, I can still conclude that the person who

killed Jude is definitely Lucas Gray!”

Axel was only saying this to pin Lucas as the murderer.

Reason being, he knew that Julian was a tyrannical but particular person who

paid great attention to evidence. Since he said that Jude had been killed by

Lucas, Julian would definitely try to find out from him how Jude had gotten

into a conflict with Lucas, how he died, and where his corpse was.

Axel naturally couldn’t produce this evidence because he had framed Lucas for

Jude’s death in the first place. Since he didn’t even know where Jude had died,

how could he produce plausible evidence?

So he had to take the initiative to report the matter to him clearly.

After Julian heard what Axel said, his face immediately darkened. •In that case,

do you have any evidence?”

Axel hurriedly explained, “Mr. York, please listen to me slowly, and you will

know why I’m certain that the person who killed Jude is definitely Lucas Gray

even though I have no definite evidence.

aren’t many experts in California, and Jude is your brother, so he’s

naturally very povverful. In the Califomia branch, his combat power is second

only to mine. Generally, it’d be difficult for anyone to defeat him, let alone kill

This time, Jude somehow disappeared for a long time for no reason. I sent my

people out to search for him and eventually determined that he should have

been lolled. But I haven’t been able to find any clues as to who killed him.

“But a week or so ago, I found an extremely powerful young expert at the Elite

Business Exchange in Califomia!

“Although this young man named Lucas is less than thirty years old, his

martial arts skills are impressive. Even the expert brought by a successor of the

Smiths of DC wasn’t a match for Lucas Gray. He was so scared by the

opponent’s shout that he didn’t dare to step forward, and he could only watch

Lucas Gray press Vince Smith down onto the floor and force him to apologize

on his knees!

“Lucas Gray is extremely arrogant, and he kills people at every turn. He even

killed several people who were disrespectful to him in front of so many

families, and he didn’t take the Peerless Martial Association seriously at all!

“In addition, according to the news from my men, Lucas took in a woman who

betrayed us, and all the experts I sent were killed by him even though they

already announced that they were from the Peerless Martial Association.

“He’s powerful and extremely hostile toward us, so it’s not surprising that he

killed Jude.”

Axel indignantly spoke many half- truths.

This was the method Heath had taught him previously—to mix some

falsehoods among the truths..
