"Based on the number of people that are participating in this event, each platform should have 10 people on so if the platform you are on is more than this number, then you should leave there and fill up the platforms with fewer people on it" the cunning looking man announced with his eccentric voice.
Right after that, people began to move into other platforms with either a confident look or a defeated look on their faces. But the one that stood out the most is the people that is both in and coming into platform 1 as they all have a look of despair on their faces.
’Mine is coincidentally 10 to begin with so there is no problem’ Hutton thought as he observed all the people that is in the same platform as him.
In that platform, there are 7 boys excluding Hutton and two girls. Apart from one of the girls that seems to have come from abroad as she wore an all black Qipao, the others are all members of the Ling family.
"Hello my brothers and sisters! I have a suggestion to make" Suddenly, a young man from the Ling family on Hutton’s platform spoke up which drew the attention of not only the other people in the same platform as him, but also people from other platforms and the spectators area.
’What does that idiot want to do now?’ Ling Jun thought as he put his gaze on platform 3 with an indifferent look on his face. As for Ling Jian, he hasn’t flinched from the position he is in ever since he got into the platform.
"Why don’t we band together and kick these sh*tty visitors out of this special event?" The guy on Hutton’s platform spoke up again as he put his attention on Hutton this time.
’This bastard’ Hutton thought with a cold look on his face as look back at the young man.
This young man Hutton is currently looking at has an arranged black short hair and a pair of black eyes. His face gives someone the expression that he has a righteous and noble character but within is the total opposite. What he is wearing is actually a red colored tracksuit with runner shoes.
"I don’t mind. Besides, how can they have the mind to leave their home and come here to compete with us?"
"That’s a great idea! Let’s quickly eliminate these people so that the event can be more meaningful"
"You are on point Ling Po"
While everyone that are on both the platforms and the spectators area approving on what the young man on Hutton’s platform who apparently is named Ling Po said, one of the girls on Hutton’s platform suddenly got closer to him before she whispered to his ear in a really low voice.
"Hello fellow competitor, why don’t we band–"
"Sorry but I like to do things on my own" Right the before the young lady could finish talking, Hutton suddenly interrupted her with an answer along with an indifferent look on his face.
"So are you planning on giving up?" The young lady asked with a confused look on her face. But Hutton didn’t answer her again as he suddenly shut his eyes.
’What is he planning on doing?’ The young lady thought with a confused look on her face.
Just then, all the platforms now have 10 people standing on them. When the cunning looking man saw this, he immediately announced while he got down from the platform he was on.
"Now that all the platforms have 10 people on it, all you competitors have to do is to be the last man standing on your platform and then, you will be a representative of the Ling family for the stage two"
When everyone on the platform heard what the cunning looking man said, fighting spirit suddenly erupted out of almost everyone on the platforms.
But there are exceptions which are platform 1 and 5 where Ling Jian and Ling Jun are respectively as the people there just have a dispirited look on their faces.
"Now begin!" The cunning looking man eventually announced out loud before he vanished from that area and reappeared at the spectators area.
As soon as the cunning looking man announced the start of the event, an intense battle erupted on all the 8 platforms on the open field. But while all these was going on, something unexpected happened at platform 3
’Huh? What did Angela do just now?’ Ling Hai who is also seated beside the head of the Ling family thought with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Hai, it seems like your eyes isn’t sharp enough to get the truly good ones" Just as Ling Hai had that thought, his father suddenly spoke up in an indifferent tone.
When Ling Hai heard him, he immediately shuddered as his face immediately darkened. But not long after, he respectfully replied to his father.
"Forgive me of my short sightedness father, I will do better next time"
But he was simply ignored by his father as he turned to Ling Fei as he asked in the same indifferent tone.
"I hope he wouldn’t do the same?"
"Definitely not father" Ling Fei replied in a confident tone. After experiencing some parts and hearing the others of the time she met him at the Tyler Corporation’s event, she was certain that he wasn’t that kind of a person.
"Good. At least one of my children have good eyes" The head of the Ling family replied as his expression came back to normal. But when Ling Hai heard him, his face darkened the more.
Back at the platforms, in platform 3 specifically, Hutton and the others are currently looking at the young lady that apparently is named Angelo who is now outside the platform.
’Did she just give up? Just like that?’ Hutton thought with a bewildered look on his face. Not only him, but even the others on the platform have a confused look on their faces.
"I do not know what you are planning but since you like to do things alone then I do not have any reason to be in the platform since am not confident enough to face all of them alone. So goodbye" Angelo eventually said after taking in a deep breath before she began to walk out of the open field.
"Fei, why is the person whom you hired is being so unreasonable?" Ling Hai suddenly spoke up in an icy voice. But Ling Fei didn’t faze by his question as she calmly answered.
"First of all, he isn’t someone I hired but is one of my business partners. And secondly, he isn’t unreasonable at all, he just doesn’t want to join hands with someone that will be a burden to him later on"
"You..." Ling Hai muttered as he began to get furious. But just then, their father suddenly spoke up.
"That’s enough Ling Hai"
When Ling Hai heard him, he immediately stiffened up as cold sweat began to soak his back.
"A person who wants to team up with a complete stranger whenever the person is in a disadvantage can never be a true martial artist. Ling Hai, am disappointed at you" the head of the Ling family said with a dissatisfied look on his face.
When Ling Hai heard this, he felt something within him suddenly shatter as he slumped into his chair.
"Am sorry father" eventually, Ling Hai spoke up in a hopeless tone but he was ignored again by his father.
’seems like this just got more difficult’ Hutton thought withva serious look on his face as he stared at the other people in the same platform who are also staring at him.
"What are we waiting for guys!? Let’s make him join his cowardly sister!" Ling Po said in a confident tone. When the others heard him, they all immediately pounced on him
’Well I have no choice but to use it huh?’ Hutton thought as he prepared himself while staring at the people who are about to reach him.
"Die" the only young lady in the platform yelled out as she is the first person to land a blow on Hutton. But when the blow landed, it shockingly went right through Hutton.
’Huh? This doesn’t seem right? Why can I feel any blood or organs?’ The young lady thought with a confused look on her face as she stared at Hutton who is still standing upright right in front of her.
But in the next moment, she suddenly heard a murderous voice right next to her left ear.
"You should be the last one now"
"Who!!" The young lady yelled as she swiftly turned to find out who is behind her. But once she turned, her expression quickly changed as she could believe what she is just seeing.
Apparently, she and Hutton are the remaining people in the platform as the others are currently lieing unconscious outside the platform.

’How is this possible?’ The young lady thought with a look of disbelief on her face.
