Chapter 323 - 323: He is Master Bertha’s Man

Lucien Ward was also on the third floor with Tony.

It was beyond expectation but made sense.

The Houston Martial Arts School was the talent training base of the Martial Arts League, directly affiliated with the Martial Arts League.

Tony's background was rooted in the Martial Arts League. Lucien was a teacher at the school, and they ran in the same circles.

It was normal for people within the same circle to have connections.

"You two, anyway, you're going to apologize. Also, please clear up the misunderstanding between you and Mr. Ward!" the manager of the restaurant said. His sharp eye for people had gotten him this position. When Lucien Ward had come to the second floor earlier, the manager had already noticed the tension between the two parties.

At that moment, he had been shocked. This was a big trouble!

So, he had gone over to reprimand the two waiters at the door. At the same time, he had given both the Long Family and Lucien a bottle of high-end red wine as compensation. He made sure to put in a good word for each side, trying to calm both parties down.

Now, hearing that John and Jacob were going to apologize, the manager saw an opportunity.

Without hesitation, John said, "Yes, better make friends than enemies. It's not a big deal. If we can clear the previous misunderstandings today, it will be thanks to you."

"Okay!" the manager smiled happily. "Then I'll go upstairs now and ask Mr. Will and Mr. Ward for their opinions?"

John nodded. "My name is John Lopez. This is my little brother-in-law, Jacob Yeats. You can go upstairs and tell them our names. I'm sure the guests upstairs will be happy to see us."

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

The manager went up to the second floor.

Jacob, still confused, asked, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing? Are we really going to apologize to them?"

John glanced at him and, with a tone of mock anger, said, "Jacob, have you gone stupid from studying? Do you really think I, the handsome husband of your beautiful sister Queenie, am the type of person who easily apologizes to anyone?"

"Of course not! Who would dare ask the King of Horizon to apologize..." Jacob's voice trailed off when he felt John's sharp gaze. He immediately recalled John's warning not to reveal his identity, and obediently kept quiet.

After a pause, Jacob hesitated before asking again, "Brother-in-law, what if they don't let us go up?"

Slap!

John gave him a swift slap and shook his head in frustration. "It seems like you've really lost your mind from studying. Why don't you drop out and go back home to help your sister run the company?"

John had already made up his mind to cause trouble. He didn't care whether they agreed to see him or not. Do they have any choice? He had asked the manager earlier to confirm that Tony was in the restaurant and to get his exact location.

It wasn't up to Tony to decide whether they could go up. It all depended on John's strength.

How could this kid be so clueless? How did he even get into the University of Houston? John thought in confusion, Is he just a bookworm?

Meanwhile, on the third floor, in the VIP room, there were many people present. Naturally, the main focus was on Tony, who had a beautiful college student, Aria Fisher, sitting on his lap.

Though Tony was far from handsome, his strong background made him irresistible to most women. Ordinary women didn't stand a chance with him, but Aria, who had somehow captured his attention, was clearly stunning. She was likely one of the most beautiful girls at the University of Houston.

The two acted intimately, as though there was no one else around.

Lucien didn't dare to comment. He simply endured their public display of affection in silence. After all, even his goddess, Master Bertha, had once been affectionate in front of him. Tony and Aria's behavior didn't faze him.

"Mr. Will, Mr. Ward, there are two young men downstairs. They said that they had a small misunderstanding with you and wanted to come up to apologize. I've come to ask for your opinions," the manager said, his voice respectful and his smile wide.

"What misunderstanding?" Tony asked, not even looking up as he flirted with Aria.

"I'm not sure about the specifics. I only know that one of them is called John Lopez, and the other is named Jacob Yeats," the manager replied.

"Jacob Yeats?"

As soon as the manager spoke the name, Aria, who had been sitting on Tony's lap, immediately changed her expression.

"What's wrong? Do you know him?" Tony asked, looking at her with curiosity.

Aria lowered her head, answering with uncertainty, "Yes... I know him. He's... the boyfriend I told you about."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Tony's face darkened. "Didn't I tell you to break up with him?"

"I was going to tell him... I just haven't found the right moment yet..." Aria stammered.

"Bullshit! Is it really that hard to break up with him? I think you still have feelings for him!" Tony snapped.

"No, Mr. Will, please listen to my explanation..." Aria pleaded, panic in her voice.

"Shut up!" Tony shouted.

Aria went pale. In that moment, Tony's cold gaze made her feel as though she were freezing in place. He turned to the manager, his voice dripping with ice. "Who the hell is John Lopez?"

The manager trembled in fear. Before he could respond, Lucien spoke up.

"Mr. Will, I know John Lopez," Lucien said, his expression darkening.

Tony glanced at him, his interest piqued. "Oh? Seems like you have some sort of grudge against him. Who is he?"

Lucien gritted his teeth. "He is Master Bertha's man."

Master Bertha's man?

Lucien's words were like a bombshell.

Master Bertha?

She was the most talented female martial artist in Houston. A true goddess among the martial arts community. Though she had graduated from the Houston Martial Arts School, her beautiful appearance and unmatched skills were still talked about by everyone.

Who wouldn't want to claim such a Valkyrie for themselves?

Lucien wanted to, and so did Tony.

But Tony had always understood his limits.

While Tony had a strong background, so did Master Bertha.

They came from the same powerful circle, but Tony was unattractive, and Master Bertha—well, she was a dream that he knew he couldn't reach. Maybe his brother Bruce Will had a better shot.

So when Lucien spoke these words, the shock in the room was palpable. Even the manager was inexplicably jealous.

Though the manager had never interacted with Master Bertha personally, the mere idea of her having a man—especially someone connected to the likes of Tony—left him filled with envy.

In that moment, the green-eyed monster had taken hold of him.
