Chapter 220 A Match âDid we allow you to sit here?â Landen said indifferently.
Gerald tilted his head and glanced at Landen.
Beside Landen, Koen revealed a hint of ridicule on his face. Koen chuckled and looked at Gerald, âI didnât expect that someone like you would dare to come here. The people who came to Mr. Jacksonâs birthday party are all from famous families.â
The other people at the table also looked at Gerald with great interest.
A thin and tall man looked at Gerald with a smile and said, âYou came with Ingrid. Donât you know that Ingrid will marry Leo in the future?â
He was talking about Ingridâs fiancé.
Seeing that Gerald was still sitting there, Landen opened his mouth again. âI told you to get away. Donât you understand?â
Their conversation made many people look over.
There were four tables in this banquet hall. At the other two tables, there were some older people. Ingrid sat with the other girls.
There was only one table for these young men.
Gerald was a young man, so he naturally sat here.
Seeing that Gerald was bullied, Eddie frowned, looked at Landen, and said, âLanden, donât go too far.â
âCome on, Mr. Audley. This guy has been in prison for nine years. I feel very unlucky sitting with him,â Landen said.
Ingrid stood up and said, âLanden, Gerald is my friend. Are you sure you want to continue to target him?â
Landenâs expression changed slightly. He seemed to be a little afraid.
Beside him, the tall and thin man said, âIngrid, this is your fault. Everyone knows that your father and the Clay family are close. You will marry Leo in the future. Now you are so intimate with another man. It will be bad if Leo hears this.â
âAlex Lester.â Ingrid suddenly slapped the table and said, âWho told you that I would marry Leo? If you say one more word, I will tear your mouth apart.
Geraldâs expression changed slightly. Landen and Alex must be brothers.
Gerald knew about the Lester family in Washington. It was an ancient family of martial artists. However, in terms of business, they did not do as well as the Maddox family, so the Lester family was not very rich. Different from the Maddox family, the Lester family often appeared in the underground world. Now, the head of the Lester family was also here, sitting at the table with Derick and Koen.
The head of the Lester family was called Mark Lester. Before Gerald disappeared three years ago, Mark was ranked fourth on the Moon List of Sin City.
However, Mark had never interacted with Gerald before.
âIngrid.â At this time, Mark, who was sitting at the table, said, âDo you really think you can bully the Lester family? Donât be arrogant in front of us just because your family is rich.â
Eddie frowned and was about to speak.
At this time, Darrell said, âIngrid, you should just ignore this matter. I donât think that Gerald is qualified to stay in this place. I feel that it is quite good to let him stand at the side. Anyway, he can also see the world like this.â
Derick frowned and then said, âSince he came, he is my guest. It is not proper for you guys to do this. Everyone is a martial artist. Here is a stage for everyone to fight on and add a bit of fun to the party.â
At this point, Derick looked at Gerald with a smile. âWhy donât you go on stage and choose a person to fight with? If you can beat anyone at that table, I think they will definitely not say anything.â
âMr. Jackson, you are tricking us.â Eddie frowned. âAre you not willing to do me a favor?â
Derick sighed, âYes. Itâs just that this young man seems to have conflicts with many people. I am also in a quandary.â
âWhat do you think?â Derick looked at Gerald and asked.
Gerald nodded and answered, âWell, you have a point. Originally, I wanted to come to see the world and get to know some big shots in the martial arts world. Since you said so, I naturally have to abide by it. However, fighting is dangerous. If anyone is injured and sent to the hospital, donât blame me.â
Derick nodded and said, âItâs a match, so naturally, there may be accidents. I guarantee if you hurt someone, no one will do anything to you.â
Gerald smiled and stood up from his seat. He pointed at Koen and said, âHey, Koen, come on stage. Letâs fight.â
Koen was stunned.
Although Koen practiced martial arts, he was like most rich kids. In their eyes, in this peaceful era, practicing martial arts was useless, so he was very lazy. He could not even defeat Clare.
He still remembered that Gerald had slapped him, which made Koen fall on the ground and get more than ten stitches.
When he heard Geraldâs words, Koenâs face paled, and he was extremely embarrassed.
âNo... I donât want to.â Under everyoneâs gaze, Koen braced himself and said, âIâm not in good health today.â
âGood reason,â Gerald smiled. âHow about this? Iâll only use one hand and stand there without moving. You can attack as you please. What do you say?â
âI...â Koenâs face went red.
At that time, Gerald pressed Koen to the ground with one hand.
Even Darianâs face turned livid in shame.
Koen was Darianâs grandson. Now, Koen was actually being humiliated by Gerald. However, Derick had already said those words. Darian couldnât say anything.
Landen sneered and said, âHe has already said that he is not feeling well. If you keep targeting him, it will be boring. Itâs no pleasure bullying a pushover. How about I fight with you?â
Obviously, Landen was very confident in himself.
Gerald touched his nose and said, âYes, he is indeed a pushover.â
Koen was so embarrassed by Gerald that he wished he could find a hole to hide in.
Darian could not bear it any longer. He stood up and said, âKid, donât go overboard. He is my grandson. With my relationship with Derick, he can come in if he wants to.â
Gerald touched his nose and said, âIt was Mr. Jackson who told me to pick a person at this table. In the end, I didnât expect to pick a coward.â
Derick smiled and said, âWhat an interesting kid. Then do it this way. Choose anyone other than Koen.â
âPick me? Do you dare?â Landen asked with a sneer.
Gerald stood up. Then he slowly walked to the stage behind the table. Gerald looked at Derick and said, âOther than Koen, I can pick anyone else, right?â
âYes,â Derick replied.
Landen sneered and said, âGerald, are you going to pick a woman?â
Gerald looked at Landen, pointed to Landen, and said, âYour name is Landen, and the one next to you looking like a bamboo pole is called Alex, right?â
âYes.â The thin and tall man also stood up and said with a smile, âYou can choose between us.â
Gerald nodded, looked at Mark at the table, and said, âAre you their father?â
Mark frowned, but he still nodded and said, âYes.â
Gerald nodded. Then he smiled and said, âAlright then. The three of you, Darrell, and Darian come together.â
