BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1073
Alexander was quick to react. He laughed and tried to play it off. “What’s the big deal? Since I’ve offended him, so be it. The Steeles aren’t afraid of him. Besides, Jace Hutton is just good at blowing his trumpet and issuing empty threats. He won’t necessarily do anything to us.”
Then he changed the topic and introduced to Lucas, “I didn’t get to tell you that the bottom floor happens to be the most popular place in the club. It’s called Reincarnation in Hell.
“Several fights will be held in the ring here every day, and there are many experts from all over the world engaging in the life and death battles. Every person taking part in a fight has to sign a liability waiver. Someone dies in almost every match, and some scenes are extremely gory.
“But most of the patrons are here. After all, everyone likes to have fun these days, especially the rich and powerful who feel bored and empty. They’re filthy rich, but life is too stressful, so they need some fun to relieve their stress. Thus, there are many people here, and it’s the most lively spot in the club.”
Lucas nodded.

There was a similar place in Roman’s club called the Sky Arena, where brutal and bloody fights took place. It likewise attracted lots of excited audience.
Reincarnation in Hell was similar, except it was more upscale and the participants of these lethal battles were much more skilled.
Seeing that Lucas seemed to have been to a similar place, Alexander stopped talking about the rules of the fights here. Instead, he said, “But the tournaments here are a little different from other places. The people who can last till the very end will always receive an attractive bonus based on the profits of the Reincarnation in Hell of the day.
“The final winner of each day can get a bonus of at least a million dollars. Sometimes, it exceeds three million! It’s a huge amount of money that most people can’t make in their lifetime.
“So there are often some experts who come to try their luck. As long as they can win the championship of the day once, they won’t have to worry for the rest of their lives! But most of the people died here and became the stepping stones for the victory of others.
“In addition to the daily matches, there are popular tournaments every month, quarter, and year. The larger the tournament, the higher the prize money for the champion.
“For example, the champion of the annual tournament can obtain over a hundred million dollars! That’s why countless skilled experts are attracted and rush over to compete.”
After Lucas heard what Alexander said, his heart surged.
The large prize money would naturally attract many powerhouses. It explained the domineering auras that he had sensed earlier.
Alexander said, “In fact, today is the annual tournament held by Club Illuma every year. It’s the grandest event of the year in the club, and all the top experts will appear tonight. It’s a grand event that will determine the fate of many people!”
When speaking the last sentence, Alexander sounded a little agitated and peculiar. It was as if he couldn’t control his emotions.
Lucas took a deep look at Alexander and suddenly asked, “You didn’t bring me here just to watch this tournament, did you?”
Alexander stiffened immediately.
After hesitating for a moment, Alexander shook his head and smiled wryly.”That’s right, Lucas. You’re very discerning. Indeed, I didn’t bring you here just to show you the competition, but...”
He raised his head and seriously looked into Lucas’s eyes. “I need your help.”
He was finally going to reveal his true agenda for tonight.
Lucas looked at Alexander coldly and sneered. “You went to such great lengths to bring me here. The favor you need from me isn’t simple, right?”
Alexander looked awkward and embarrassed. After a while, he decided to come clean and said, “It’s really not easy. But I can guarantee that as long as you help me win the championship, I’ll give you anything you want!”
He actually wanted Lucas to participate in this brutal tournament and fight for the championship!
Hearing this, Lucas asked with a mocking smile, “You want me to compete on your behalf? I remember you saying that everyone who fights in the competition has to sign a liability waiver. What makes you think I’ll agree to die for you?”
Alexander hurriedly said, “How could I ask you to die for me, Lucas? I know how skilled you are. You’ll definitely win the championship!”
Lucas sneered. “So what? I’m already being kind enough not to hold it against you for scheming against me and bringing me here, yet you still want me to risk my life for you?”
Alexander’s face turned pale, and he hurriedly explained, “Mr. Gray, I really didn’t mean to trick you, but I really don’t have any other solution. Besides, weren’t you searching everywhere for Jace? I did you a favor by bringing you here, didn’t I?”
“Hmph, did I ask for your help?” Lucas laughed with contempt, rendering Alexander speechless.

In fact, if Alexander had directly discussed this with Lucas at the start and told him that he knew where Jace was before asking him for a favor, Lucas might have agreed.
After all, it would be a fair exchange between willing parties, and no one would lose out.
