The Transcendent Tournament was an official event, directly managed by the Chuanxing City Government, and staffed by official personnel.
The middle-aged leader walked to the center between the two parties and spoke to the Lancelot Star People, "Mr. David, Mr. Robert was critically injured and couldn’t be saved, for which we deeply regret."
"Hand him over to me," demanded David, pointing at Xu Mo behind the middle-aged man, his expression unfriendly and intimidating.
"Mr. David, before the Transcendent Tournament began, all contestants signed a contract. Nobody wished for an accident to happen, but given the circumstances, we hope Mr. David will mourn with restraint," the middle-aged man continued.
"This was murder," David’s face was extremely somber as he stepped forward, pressing the middle-aged man, and staring into his eyes, "Our Lancelot genius was premeditatedly murdered on your Transcendent Tournament arena. Do you think an ’accident’ explains it all?"
"I warn you, this is not as simple as one person’s death. If handled poorly, it will directly involve Lancelot Star and Byron Star," David threatened, his tone intimidating, and the surrounding media and public were greatly displeased upon hearing this.
Indeed, these Lancelot Star people considered themselves superior. When they committed murder, they didn’t take into account that this was Byron Star.
Now, they escalated the fight to another level.
"Mr. David, we will review the footage of the fight, but as Mr. Robert registered for the Transcendent Tournament, it indicates his acceptance of the tournament’s rules. Additionally, please abide by the laws of Chuanxing City," replied the middle-aged man.
David’s gaze was fixed on the other, and the middle-aged man met his eyes without evasion.
"In that case, I’ll wait for your ’investigation’. Furthermore, the Lancelot Star Byron Star Embassy will report this to your President’s Mansion and Chuanxing City Government," David threatened coldly, "You ’investigators’ had better be thorough."
With those words, he walked towards Rob’s body and coldly commanded, "Take him back."
The group then turned and stepped onto the disc.
The disc rose, returning to the flying device in the sky, which blasted energy and shot away as a streak of white light.
The surrounding media and public felt a surge of emotions, with many angered. These Alien Races indeed acted dominantly on their Byron Star.
The person in charge of the Transcendent Tournament turned to Xu Mo and said, "You’ll have someone following you these next few days, I hope you won’t mind."
"Thank you," Xu Mo understood the implication; this surveillance was actually a form of protection, in case the people from Lancelot decided to play dirty.
"It’s what we’re supposed to do," the middle-aged man said with a smile, "Rest well and we look forward to your performance in the finals."
Xu Mo nodded as the middle-aged man left the area.
"Such arrogance," Xu Mo and the people from Stark Group walked on. Stark Hao couldn’t help but speak up.
A noble from Lancelot Star dared to be so brazen and contemptuous, threatening to take matters up with the President’s Mansion on a whim.
At this moment, the media swarmed in, blocking Xu Mo’s path.
"Mr. Xu Mo, what’s your view on this battle?" a reporter asked.
Xu Mo stood still, but Stark Hao stepped forward and replied, "Throughout the battle, Xu Mo faced life-threatening crises multiple times, nearly being killed on the spot, but he never gave up and ultimately defeated his opponent. Everything took place within the rules of the Transcendent Tournament; the opponent did not surrender or quit the fight, and even at the last moment was still attempting a killing blow."
"If Xu Mo suffers a disaster for defeating an Alien, then there’s no need to hold the Transcendent Tournament in the future. I believe, the people of Chuanxing City and Byron Star, won’t let such a thing happen."
After Stark Hao spoke, he and Xu Mo moved on; the crowd automatically made way and no longer obstructed them. His words also resonated with many.
For years, Alien Races had dominated the Transcendent Tournament. Before, Robert had injured many and had even attacked Xu Mo with a killing intent. Now, simply because Xu Mo had fought back and killed him within the rules, the Alien Races were calling for an inquest?
Whose territory is this, after all?
No matter what their opinions of Xu Mo were before, now, it’s no longer a matter of whether they like Xu Mo or not.
If Xu Mo were to be sanctioned by aliens, then what face would there be to continue holding the Transcendent competition? How could the people of Byron Star have the face to meet with alien races?

This kind of incident must never happen.
It is a matter of principle!
After Xu Mo and the others left, a protest erupted outside the site of the Transcendent competition.
The public of Byron Star were already extremely displeased with the special privileges enjoyed by aliens, and now with the Lancelot Star People being so domineering, and doing so in front of everyone, one could imagine the stimulus to the crowd.
In the vehicle, Stark Hao escorted Xu Mo to Future City.
Xu Mo was somewhat surprised, not expecting Stark to also not be a complete ’prodigal son’, actually taking advantage of the situation. If those words were broadcasted by the media, the impact would certainly be immense. If the Chuanxing City Government handed him over at this time, it would be disastrous.
The communicator vibrated, it was a call from Sister Butterfly; Xu Mo answered.
"How’s your injury?" Ye Qingdie asked.
"Relax, it’s nothing serious," Xu Mo replied. The Transcendent competition had a comprehensive medical team underground, and the medical standards were very high, capable of quickly stopping bleeding and restoring the functionality of an injured body.
Considering they could research Genetic Evolution Liquid that gives humans terrifying recovery abilities, this level of medical care was naturally not a problem.
"Don’t be so impulsive in the future," Ye Qingdie instructed. Xu Mo’s battle this time was fraught with great danger, and it might have been partly because of her. The humiliation from Lancelot Star had been remembered by Xu Mo.
"Got it, Sister Butterfly," Xu Mo said with a smile, then hung up the communicator, but as soon as he did, it vibrated again.
"She-devil," Xu Mo said as he answered the call; Zero took back the communicator as her mother couldn’t keep it from her, deciding it was better to give it back to her rather than having her bring it home all the time.
"Are you injured?" Zero asked.
"All healed up," Xu Mo said. "She-devil, do you actually care about people?"
"Beep..." The she-devil hung up.
Xu Mo: "..."
"Still calling her ’she-devil’?" Stark asked with a peculiar expression nearby.
Xu Mo looked at him.
"You’ve spent the night, why be so distant?" Stark Hao said with disdain. "There’s no one else here, so there’s no need to pretend."
"Screw off..." Xu Mo cursed, they were pure.
Afterwards, Xu Mo received many more communications and messages, which he responded to one by one.
And in Chuanxing City, a great stir was beginning!
