[ Joy Magac (Third Stage Nascent Soul Realm): He is one of the top outer elders in the White Jade Sect. He is a strict and rude guy. But his heart is pure, and he is the kind of person you can believe in most of the time. He is thinking of when the war will start in Highload Town, as only after its destruction can they have better disciples with top-notch potential, maybe. ]
[ Roy Magac (Fourth Stage Nascent Soul Realm): The next candidate for becoming an inner elder. He is the elder brother of Joy. He is always calm and thinks through everything rationally. He rarely gets angry, but when he does, it only spells bad things for his enemies. He is thinking of trying to make Odino and Julie get together. He wants to work as the best middleman for them. ]
? Reg's face darkened as he cursed in his mind. 'This stupid girlish-looking guy, why does he want to make Odino and Julie together? Odino doesn't seem to have any interest in her. What is this guy up to?'
'Also, what is up with that Joy guy? This guy is very happy to see this town get destroyed.'
This was the first time Reg had found such weird guys. Their thinking had no common sense.
But what could Reg do? He would just wait and watch. He couldn't do anything about them as they were much stronger than him, even above Julie and the patriarchs.
At that moment, Galibar and Brustiar also came in with their elders.
Reg raised his eyebrows a little. 'They seem a bit mad. Looks like something had happened between them.'
Galibar and Bruster came before Odino and cupped their fists. Odino and others also saw Galibar and Brustiar's faces darken. Odino bluntly asked. "What has happened between you two?"
Galibar and Brustiar looked at each other but didn't say much.
Odino's eyebrows twitched a little. "Okay, okay, you guys take your seats. I will start the final round now."
Galibar and Brustiar sat down on their seats and looked below the battleground with a stern face.
Reg looked at their status information and was left dumbfounded.
[ Brustiar Burnheart (First Stage Nascent Soul Realm): He wants to annihilate Ragingwave Clan even if he has to sacrifice every living fiber of his body. ]
[ Galibar Ragingwave (First Stage Nascent Soul Realm): He wants to annihilate Burnheart Family even if he has to sacrifice every living fiber of his body. ]
'Why are those two thinking the exact same thing?' Reg didn't know what to say about this. He didn't mind that they destroyed each other, but to not know why it happened was itching his curiosity very much.
But he knew he had to wait first. Also, he contemplated silently. 'Today is very weird. A very eventful one at that, I have to say.'
Odino came before the railing and spoke softly, which sounded loud to others' ears."Everyone, let me welcome you all for joining in to watch our top ten participants fight against each other."
"They are already qualified to join our sect. This is just to make a ranking and to see who the number one is."
"For the participants, I have good news for you. The top three will be directly rolled into the sect as inner sect disciples."
The moment Odino said that the top 10's eyes widened in shock. Only one thing came into their minds.
'I have to be in the top three!'
A smirk grew on Odino's face as he spoke. "Now, let the final round begin!"
"YEAHHH!"
Loud cheers sounded throughout the arena. They couldn't wait to witness all kinds of exciting and thrilling fights.
…
Outside the arena.
"How many of these guys did you find?" Vik, wearing his armor, as usual, asked his subordinate.
The man in front of him, who was wearing silver armor, answered slowly. "Sir Vik, I found a total of twelve. They were always hiding their faces and bodies with cloaks and were always in pairs. Sir, just as you told us, we didn't engage in any kind of combat and acted dumb. Also, sir, even if we did engage in combat, we couldn't have won. Their lowest seemed to be at the Third Stage Foundation Establishment Realm, and their highest was close to the Golden Core Realm. "Sir Vik, I believe they have many in the Golden Core Realm too."
"Hmm…" Vik rubbed his chin as he went into deep thought after hearing the report from his men.
He was also alarmed by the sudden rate of the girls' disappearances. He didn't care much at first, as only a small fraction of girls disappeared, but this was too much.
'Which is this secret force? I know every single rat hiding in this town. How did they go unnoticed?' Vik's forehead frowned as this was giving him too much of a headache. The overlords of this town were pressuring him too much for this, or they might complain to Odino, which Vik didn't want to see.
"Are all of our men dispatched around the town?" Vik asked his men again.
The guy in front nodded his head. "Yes, sir. There are our men in every single corner of the town."
"Good, you guys may leave now." The men nodded and left the small house.
All alone, Vik sat on a chair in the house. "Ahh~ So many things are happening."
Then, all of a sudden, Vik's face turned severe. 'I think I might go on a killing spree and kill these rats for my peace and establish justice for this town.'
…
On the stairs that led to the top of the arena.
One could see a pair of men, and these were the ones that had their eyes on Jasmine.
"Oi, will you tell me what your plan is?"
"Keke, just wait. I will surprise you. This one I concocted after years of knowledge and experience."
"Okay, I don't care what your plan is; I just hope it can do the job."
With that, they arrived at the top of the arena, just before the VIP room's door.
