Chapter 302: Conflicts and Provocation

Upon hearing the arrogant voice, everyone turned to look towards the entrance not far away from where they were.

There, they saw a group of young men entering. Each one of them had an arrogant expression on their faces, as if they owned the world.

And as they swaggered into the pistol lane of the shooting lane, they approached Alex and the others.

Each of these young men was dressed in flashy outfits, especially those expensive brands. Additionally, some of them wore big, golden chains around their necks.

The moment that they saw this group of young men approaching, Alex’s and the other is expressions shifted. They frowned, obviously not happy with the presence of this group of young men.

Michael also raised his brows slightly, but he did not have much of a reaction to the appearance of this group. He already knew the history between this group and Alex’s.

Within this city, apart from Alex’s group, there was another group of wastrels, as Kate would refer to them, within the city.

This group operated almost the same way that Alex’s group did. They were just a group of young masters from some forces within the city, who wanted to have fun.

But the distinction between the two groups was that, this new group, did not have the same boundaries as Alex’s group had.

While Alex and the others like to enjoy themselves, they not only depended on the allowance that they were given by their families, instead, they used other methods in order to earn them.

Of course, most of the methods that they used were legal, and even if they were illegal, they did not cross some boundaries.

Additionally, Alex and the others mostly participated in things that were not illegal. Of course, that was a part from visiting the underground fighting arena, which was considered illegal.

As for the other group, they were tyrants within the city. They were infamous, and every time that their names were mentioned, most people would avoid clashing with them.

In terms of background, they could not compete against the members of Alex’s team. But even then, they could not be underestimated, as while they did not mostly belong to prestigious families within the cities, they belonged to procedures forces within the city.

Some of them had their parents being shareholders of some of the big companies within the city, while others were actually the founders of those companies.

In terms of scale, while they could not compare against the big forces such as the Morgan family, the Walter family, or even Sky technologies, they were still formidable within the city.

During normal situations, these two groups never interact with each other. Most of the time, they actually had to clash of interests.

And the main reason behind this being that, most of those in this team that had just arrived had initially wanted to join Alex’s group. But because of their character, Alex prevented them from joining.

Therefore, they usually held resentment towards Alex and the others within the group. But because they knew that they could not deal with Alex and the others, they dared not clash with them easily.

Of course, it was inevitable that there would be some conflicts between them, which occurred from time to time.

Alex and the others usually ignored this group, not bothering with them. Of course, that was under the precedent that they did not provoke them first.

It was just that, recently, almost at the end of the previous month, this group had begun getting more arrogant. In the clashes that they usually avoided Alex and the others, they were willing to conflict with them.

It was to the extent that they finally began actively provoking Alex and the others, as if they wanted a fight. And today, they came looking for Alex and the others, which was the first time that something like this had happened.

“What is it? Do we owe you something? Why do you have to keep on testing us like annoying flies? Can’t you just leave us alone?” Raymond suddenly asked in a grumpy voice.

He was the most irritated of this group. Most of the time, these guys provoked him. Had it not been for the fact that Alex and the others usually held him back, he would have already attacked these guys by now.

“What is it? Are you afraid? I asked you out for a challenge. You select one person, while we select another, so that we can compete against each other.

Then call the winner will be around the king of the city, and will be the one calling the shots within the city. What? Are you afraid?” The leader of the newcomers, I young man with short blue-dyed hair and brown eyes asked as he crossed his arms in front of his chest while gazing at the group.

“Jack, what is with that smirk on your face? You know, you are telling us to give the prize, something that we own, then compete against you for it. Do you think that makes sense to you?” Alex frowned as he asked.

He was not the type that liked clashing against others easily. But of course, that did not imply that he was a coward. And right now, with them having Michael here, his confidence was boosted.

But of course, apart from the confidence of Michael’s presence, it was also because he wanted to chase this group away as fast as possible. He did not want them to ruin the time that they were together with Michael.

It was extremely rare to be able to spend time with Michael, and every time, he shocked them. This time, he was already thinking about where they were going to go after they left the shooting range.

But now, this group being here, they were definitely going to cause trouble, which was not something that Alex wanted. So, as long as he could chase them away as fast as possible, he was willing to pay the price.

Jack, the leader of the group that had just entered the shooting lane, frowned slightly as the smile that was on his face disappeared.

He gazed at Alex and said in a cold voice, “What? You think that just because you have bigger backgrounds, you own this city? Let me tell you, previously, you could continuously suppress us because you had a backing.

But this time, it is completely different. You have your own backing, while we have ours. So, this time, we are going to compete against each other in terms of our own abilities.

If you attempt to bring in your families, then be prepared, your families might end up bankrupt when you wake up tomorrow.”

Alex frowned deeply when he heard Jack’s words. He could not understand where Jack got the confidence, but he understood, his words were not baseless.

While this guy was vain, petty and kind of evil, he was not an idiot. If not for him, those idiots that followed behind him would have definitely attempted to clash against Alex and others by now.

So, what could be the reason why this guy decided to clash with them, especially head on? And the issue of the family backgrounds and so on, what could this be about?

Was it really possible that they had found someone who could back them? But how was that even possible? After all, unless they found someone from a bigger force than the combination of all the forces within Alex’s group, it would be impossible to deal with them.

“Alex, why don’t we just beat up these guys? We can smash their faces, to wipe off those arrogant expressions, to let them know who they can and cannot provoke.” Raymond stated as he gazed coldly at the group in front of him.

All this time, he had been holding back his anger, especially for the past few days. These guys, it was as if they already knew who was easier to provoke within the group.

That was why they continuously targeted Raymond, as he was not only proud, but short-tempered as well.

To Raymond’s words, Alex shook his head as he said in a low voice, “Something about them is off. I don’t think that there is any kind of big grudge between us, that can lead to such a situation.

They must be a mean for something, and it is not clear right now. So, let’s wait, let’s see if they can reveal the reason why they want to clash against us.”

“What are you guys mumbling about? What? Are you scared? The previous time that I suggested this, you ignored my words, and left. This time, I came to you personally.

And let me tell you this, unless you agree to compete, there is no possibility of you getting out of this shooting range today.

And just as I told you before, you should not even think about calling someone for help. This will only make your fates more miserable.” Jack impatiently said as he gazed at Alex who was whispering something to Raymond.

“Damn it! What? You think that you can compete against us? You are just wastrels, wasting the resources of your families.

If you did not have those families behind you, would you dare to be so arrogant as you are right now?”

“That’s right. I don’t know where you got the confidence from, but let me tell you, no matter how much you think highly of yourselves, you will always be below us.”

“Get the hell out of here! Stop ruining our mood, we want to have fun!”

It seemed that Jack’s words had provoked a number of people, as several people within the group finally could no longer hold back as they spoke harshly.

Listening to the words being said to them, Jack and the group were all infuriated.

Jack continuously nodded his head as he said, “Good, good. Since that is the case, then I will have to force you to do what I want you to!”
