*****In the bar that was filled to the brim with a congratulatory atmosphere a moment ago, everyone’s mouth was slightly opened after hearing the bomb thrown by their most pampered brother.This lasted for a moment before everyone exchanged blank gazes, looking as though they had just misheard what was said before eventually, their jaws dropped, almost reaching Hade’s world under the ground.“You… you… you… did you just… did you just say that?” the person sitting closest to the guy being congratulated abruptly stuttered, appearing greatly astounded.“You… you did not just tell us we don’t deserve to be your brothers again, right?”“You…”Everyone became filled to the brim with disbelief, gaping at their comrade who had always been the humblest amongst them as they questioned him.They couldn’t believe that just because of a single elevation, he would trash them this badly and forget their pasts together just like that.Every one of them asked all sorts of questions in astonis
*****“This”Even though most of the stadiums across the country, whether in the capital or elsewhere, are packed to the brim, at this moment, everything is eerily quiet.Every mouth is agape as everyone watches the scene in the limelight with astonishment and wonder, those who knew Williams and not included.“Wasn’t that the pervert I met twice yesterday?” Jewel muttered absentmindedly as she gazed at the scene, one that she, like nearly every other woman, would remember for the rest of their lives.With her jaw dropped, she stared at Williams as he slid gracefully and handsomely down the rope that had been tied to the roof of the stadium since god knows when before finally, he gently landed right at the front of his team, causing the hearts of nearly all ladies to run out of their chests.With that, everywhere became eerily silent for a long time with everyone gaping at Williams in a daze before;“Oh my god!!! Who… Who’s that person?!!!”“What a great entrance was that?!”“I
*****As the thief expected, everyone on the competitors’ stand was glaring at Williams’ team in anger right now, furious that they had dared to steal all the limelight, especially Williams.“Well, it is nice that someone already has all the attention then, I will just use him as the stepping stone after we enter the secret realm.”This was the conclusion of almost everyone after they managed to curb their rage, then as though Williams and his team had worn the strongest magnets on the field, they attracted all attention to themselves, making them become the number one enemy.Unknown to Williams, a few people amongst his fellow competitors currently had a wicked smirk on their faces as they stared at him.‘Is he the one I was told to join the others to deal with?’‘Hehehe. He is nothing but an arrogant show-off. I might not even need to team up with anybody to deal with him and get the reward solely for myself…’******"Since you are here, you can have your position back," Sofia, s
*****“The portal has been activated.” A black-robed elderly man suddenly uttered in a creepy-looking environment.This was a place very far away from the capital city and right now, an elderly man, a middle-aged man, and a middle-aged woman were standing before a portal that was constantly releasing black fumes, staring emotionlessly at a bunch of people with the eldest being thirty.“Remember that this portal is only activated after we’ve depleted most of our resources,” the elderly in the middle continued after a moment, his voice so cold and his gaze seemingly able to see through souls.“This is the moment you all have been training for almost all your lives. Do your best to ensure that those so-called prodigies don’t leave the secret realm alive.""Yes, Sect Master!" the people continually emitting dark energy, whom the elderly man was addressing, responded in unison, their blood surging with intense fervor.Upon hearing their responses, the sect leader regarded them with a
*****[The host has been given an irrevocable SSS rank quest to find the core of the secret. Failure to complete this quest shall make the host lose his life.]Williams, “_”Williams again, “_”He suddenly stood fixed in his position for a moment, but then his eyes widened significantly, almost popping out of their sockets.‘You—you are giving me a quest that has my death as the punishment for failing?!’ He gasped with shock.‘Hey, system! I think a mistake has happened somewhere!’ He roared in his mind.‘What sort of a scary quest is this?!’‘I can’t even reject it!’‘Where do I even want to begin my search for a so-called core?!’‘Argh!!!’ He roared aggressively but received no response no matter how much he tried.This lasted for an eternity before eventually, Williams began to breathe at the top of his lungs.‘You know I should sue you, right? Where are my rewards for my previously completed quests?’[The host’s rewards for the previously completed quests have already
*****“You—do you actually have some kind of supernatural ability that lets you find gems?” Sofia, who had been left speechless numerous times by Williams' consistent gem discoveries, finally asked in exasperation.It Was barely just 2 hours since the beginning of the competition, yet, she had already lost count of the number of times Williams had discovered the supposedly difficult-to-find stones known as Gems, yet, he was still casually digging them up as though taking water from his backyard pound, lazily and casually.Williams, hearing the serious question thrown at him smiled playfully. “How did you know?” He asked and Sofia frowned with confusion, looking so cute.“Know what?” She inquired and Williams pointed at himself.“That I have a supernatural ability that helps me discover gems?”“You—you actually do?” Sofia asked incredulously and Williams nodded his head with an earnest expression.“It’s an ability that allows me to see through any hard surface and discover anyth
*****‘This he just…” Sofia, who had only acted in the spur of the moment mumbled blankly after a moment and then she slowly looked to the side, she swallowed hard.‘He really did just catch a flying arrow,” she mumbled and raised her head, only to see an aggressive face staring coldly straight ahead.Although the gaze wasn’t meant for her, Sofia felt her heart freeze in fear for a moment and the sweat that had oozed out of her earlier, thinking she was going to lose her life for someone she had barely known intensified before she quickly tore her gaze away.‘So scary!’ she thought subconsciously, unable to relate the arrogant and playful Williams in her head to this scary entity.She swallows hard once again before abruptly looking straight ahead, her face turning to a furious glare.“How dare you launch a sneak attack on us?!” She yelled ferociously, snapping the other party back to his senses.The person, who had been stunned by Sofia’s earlier action and Williams catching t
*****Williams was stunned for a moment after hearing Sofia’s words before slowly looking at her. “Are you seriously pleading for him?” He asked with disbelief but Sofia hurriedly shook her head.“No, but his—his background is not ordinary,” she explained, but seeing Williams’ unimpressed expression, added. “He is the only son of two legendary figures in our country whom even the likes of Damien and his people dared not offend.”Williams, “_”His brows abruptly furrowed as he contemplated Grace’s words, but just then, a cold snicker sounded on the ground.“You heard that, huh? Let me go this instant or you and all your loved ones suffer the wrath of my parents even if you guys run to the end of the world!”The voice was filled with arrogance, fierceness, and above all, murderous intent.Williams looked for a moment before a playful expression crossed his face. “And who told you I’m letting you go?” He asked, making both the young man’s and Sofia’s face change significantly.“Y
