Chapter 220 A Match
“Did we allow you to sit here?” 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, “I
didn’t expect that someone like you would dare to come here. The people who came to Mr. Jackson’s
birthday party are all from famous families.”
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, “You came with Ingrid. Don’t you know that
Ingrid will marry Leo in the future?”
He was talking about Ingrid’s fiancé.
Seeing that Gerald was still sitting there, Landen opened his mouth again. “I told you to get away. Don’t
you understand?”
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, “Landen, don’t go too
far.”
“Come on, Mr. Audley. This guy has been in prison for nine years. I feel very unlucky sitting with
him,” Landen said.
Ingrid stood up and said, “Landen, Gerald is my friend. Are you sure you want to continue to target
him?”
Landen’s expression changed slightly. He seemed to be a little afraid.

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.”
“Alex Lester.” Ingrid suddenly slapped the table and said, “Who told you that I would marry Leo? If you
say one more word, I will tear your mouth apart.
Gerald’s 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.
“Ingrid.” At this time, Mark, who was sitting at the table, said, “Do you really think you can bully the Lester
family? Don’t be arrogant in front of us just because your family is rich.”
Eddie frowned and was about to speak.
At this time, Darrell said, “Ingrid, you should just ignore this matter. I don’t 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.”
Derick frowned and then said, “Since 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.”
At this point, Derick looked at Gerald with a smile. “Why don’t 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.”
“Mr. Jackson, you are tricking us.” Eddie frowned. “Are you not willing to do me a favor?”
Derick sighed, “Yes. It’s just that this young man seems to have conflicts with many people. I am
also in a quandary.”
“What do you think?” Derick looked at Gerald and asked.
Gerald nodded and answered, “Well, 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, don’t blame me.”
Derick nodded and said, “It’s a match, so naturally, there may be accidents. I guarantee if you hurt
someone, no one will do anything to you.”
Gerald smiled and stood up from his seat. He pointed at Koen and said, “Hey, Koen, come on stage.
Let’s fight.”
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 Gerald’s words, Koen’s face paled, and he was extremely embarrassed.
“No… I don’t want to.” Under everyone’s gaze, Koen braced himself and said, “I’m not in good
health today.”
“Good reason,” Gerald smiled. “How about this? I’ll only use one hand and stand there without moving.
You can attack as you please. What do you say?”
“I…” Koen’s face went red.
At that time, Gerald pressed Koen to the ground with one hand.
Even Darian’s face turned livid in shame.
Koen was Darian’s grandson. Now, Koen was actually being humiliated by Gerald. However, Derick

had already said those words. Darian couldn’t say anything.
Landen sneered and said, “He has already said that he is not feeling well. If you keep targeting him, it
will be boring. It’s no pleasure bullying a pushover. How about I fight with you?”
Obviously, Landen was very confident in himself.
Gerald touched his nose and said, “Yes, he is indeed a pushover.”
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, “Kid, don’t go overboard. He is my
grandson. With my relationship with Derick, he can come in if he wants to.”
Gerald touched his nose and said, “It was Mr. Jackson who told me to pick a person at this table. In the
end, I didn’t expect to pick a coward.”
Derick smiled and said, “What an interesting kid. Then do it this way. Choose anyone other than
Koen.”
“Pick me? Do you dare?” Landen asked with a sneer.
Gerald stood up. Then he slowly walked to the stage behind the table. Gerald looked at Derick and said,
“Other than Koen, I can pick anyone else, right?”
“Yes,” Derick replied.
Landen sneered and said, “Gerald, are you going to pick a woman?”
Gerald looked at Landen, pointed to Landen, and said, “Your name is Landen, and the one next to you
looking like a bamboo pole is called Alex, right?”
“Yes.” The thin and tall man also stood up and said with a smile, “You can choose between us.”
Gerald nodded, looked at Mark at the table, and said, “Are you their father?”
Mark frowned, but he still nodded and said, “Yes.”
Gerald nodded. Then he smiled and said, “Alright then. The three of you, Darrell, and Darian come
together.”
