The Transcendent Grand Tournament finally concluded, but the cluster of cities centered around the Capital was still immersed in the atmosphere of the competition, unable to move on.

They were left wanting more!

In Chuanxing City, countless streets and alleys played and replayed Xu Mo’s battle videos from beginning to end. Looking back now, without bias, they realized that every battle fought by Xu Mo was exceptionally thrilling. Overcoming the odds, triumphing over the strong with weakness, and advancing step by step to the end, reaching the pinnacle was nothing short of a miracle.

Moreover, his talents were incredibly stunning, proficient in several different Superpowers, with immense spiritual power. Capable of controlling both flight and objects, his neural reaction speed was also terrifyingly fast. His innate talent for piloting Mechas made him a top Superpower User and a Mechanical Master.

Such talent was already astonishingly impressive.

Soon after, some of Xu Mo’s past was dug up. It turned out Xu Mo came from Steel Dome City where he was already the leading prodigy. It was just that after arriving at the Capital, he was unknown, leading no one to recognize or have high expectations for him.

Xu Mo’s story was immensely inspiring and could be considered exemplary.

Now, the person Chuanxing City talked about the most was Xu Mo, even surpassing the Mayor and other prominent figures.

Quite a few young girls were even wondering whether Xu Mo was in a relationship yet.

He seemed to have a special relationship with the girl known as Zero from the Royal Academy. Were they a couple?

At this moment, the on-screen imagery switched, and a news reporter appeared, saying, "We interrupt with news that, according to investigations by the City Government and the Transcendent Tournament staff, the incident between Xu Mo and Robert was not intentional but an accident on the battlefield. Mayor Liu Feng deeply regrets this and extends his condolences to the Lancelot Star People."

Seeing this news, the citizens of Chuanxing City breathed a sigh of relief, though it was an expected outcome.

If Xu Mo, after securing first place in the Transcendent Grand Tournament and making history, was also punished for killing Robert on the battlefield and handed over to the Lancelot Star People, then Byron Star would be hopeless, and the Transcendent Grand Tournament would lose all face for future hosting.

Still, many criticized Mayor Liu Feng, wondering why their mayor couldn’t be tougher. Always bowing and scraping to the Aliens, he lacked backbone.

In the eyes of many, this was an utterly disgraceful conduct.

The Aliens behaved as they pleased, their arrogance unchecked, daring to directly demand a person from them, a boldness fostered by the government’s own encouragement.

At this time, in a distinct architectural area of Chuanxing City, where the Lancelot Star People lived, this was the land granted to them by the Chuanxing City Government. The Lancelot Star embassy was also located in this area.

This place, entirely theirs.

In the yard of a villa in this area, David had just received a communication from the City Government office. His face was extremely grim. Although Mayor Liu Feng had been expressing his apologies, David still couldn’t swallow his indignation.

Xu Mo taking first place in the Transcendent Tournament was a matter for the Byron Star People, so why should it concern them?

All he knew was that one of their Lancelot noble geniuses died on the battlefield of the Transcendent Tournament, murdered by Xu Mo.

Furthermore, this noble genius was the descendant of a friend of his. Now his friend, having received the news, was already on his way from Lancelot Star.

At this moment, a sound came from the sky, and he looked up to see a Flying Device approach from the distance towards this area.

A moment later, the aircraft hovered overhead, ejecting Energy Light.

The Flying Device’s disc descended and landed on the ground, from which a line of figures emerged. The leader was a young man whose features bore some resemblance to Robert—it was Robert’s older brother, Amanda.

Amanda, more mature and several years older than Robert, kept a cold expression as he walked step by step toward David.

"Amanda," David called out.

"Where’s Robert?" Amanda asked.

David turned and led Amanda to where Rob’s body was kept. Upon seeing Rob’s body, Amanda radiated a chill, with energy seemingly uncontrollable, causing the temperature of the space to appear to drop a few degrees.

"Who killed him?" Amanda asked.

"Xu Mo, a genius Superpower User from Byron Star," David replied.

"Where’s his body?" Amanda asked David, his gaze sharp and assertive.

Byron Star, a low-level civilization’s human, had killed his brother. It was only right that the murderer should pay with his life—not just the one who killed his brother, but anyone else involved should also die.

Yet here he was, not seeing the murderer’s body.

"The situation is somewhat complex, let me explain it to you slowly," David said, understanding that Amanda, coming from Lancelot Star, was unaware of the circumstances on Byron Star, including anything about the Transcendent Tournament.

And at this moment, Amanda’s anger was palpable.

After listening to David, Amanda’s desire for vengeance grew stronger. With a frosty demeanor, he said, "Mr. David, my brother followed you here, and you let his killer live?"

David’s expression also darkened, Amanda’s tone was very unfriendly.

But he could understand, as it was normal for Amanda to be angry over Robert’s death on Byron Star.

"After all, this is Byron Star, and the first place in the Transcendent Tournament means a lot to Byron Star..." David tried to explain.
