"Are you guys still not done? Hurry up. You're wasting my time," Clarion said in an annoyed voice as she watched the men continue their search.They had finished searching more than fifteen floors and were currently on the eighteenth floor. There were twenty-two floors in total, and Penber was on the twentieth floor at the moment, anxiously waiting for any news. The thoroughness of their search was impressive, but the time it consumed was starting to wear on her nerves."We're doing it thoroughly. Speed in a task doesn’t guarantee efficiency. In the Froster clan, we only care about efficiency and nothing else," one of the men replied absentmindedly. His tone was calm, almost as if he didn’t care about Clarion's impatience. The Froster clan had a reputation for being methodical, and he was upholding that reputation."Who cares what your clan thinks? I'm starving, and you guys are wasting my time," Clarion retorted, frowning. Her stomach growled audibly, adding emphasis to her complaint
"I will show the whole world who is better between us," Kate said with a grin."I'd love to see you try, Katie," Clarissa replied calmly, using a friendly nickname that made Kate furious. Kate hated being treated like a close friend by her rival. She felt a surge of anger rising within her, fueling her determination to win this fight. Her mind raced with memories of all the times Clarissa had outshone her, and she vowed to end that streak today.From the stand, Viper announced the beginning of the last fight in the first round of the tournament. “YOOO!!”“FIGHT!! FIGHT!!”The crowd buzzed with excitement, their eyes fixed on the two competitors. The tension in the air was palpable, as everyone waited to see who would come out on top."I will show you," Kate declared, moving from her spot and darting toward Clarissa. She felt the adrenaline coursing through her veins, giving her the speed and agility she needed for the fight ahead.In her hands, a black, menacing whip appeared. The w
The sound of footsteps approaching rang in the passageway leading to the room where Penber and Klein were currently hiding. Penber's heart beat faster and faster as the footsteps drew closer. His body was shivering with fear, terrified of what would happen if they didn't succeed in leaving in time. The situation was growing more intense with every second.The glass of wine in his hands shook violently; if it were filled to the top, some of its contents would have spewed onto the ground. He could barely keep his grip steady, the fear causing his hands to tremble uncontrollably. On the other hand, Klein kept drinking from his wine without a single look of doubt or fear in his eyes. He seemed completely unbothered by the approaching threat, his calm demeanor starkly contrasting Penber's panic. His steady hand and composed face showed no signs of worry."You should calm down. If you keep shivering like this, they'll suspect you are up to something," Klein said while shaking his head pit
**COUGH COUGH**Kate coughed up a mouthful of blood after Clarissa's ice spear hit her harshly in the stomach, causing her to fall to the ground. She lay there, clutching her stomach, feeling the intense pain radiating through her body. The taste of blood in her mouth was bitter, and the realization of her defeat was even more bitter. She had entered the arena confident of her victory, but now she was lying on the cold ground, struggling to breathe.Clarissa stood close to Kate's body with a calm smile on her beautiful face. In her hand was a spear magically forged of ice, looking powerful and menacing. The spear seemed to glow with an otherworldly light, reflecting the coldness in Clarissa's eyes.."You said you wanted to show the world the difference between us. I guess you succeeded, but the result wasn't what you expected," Clarissa said in a voice audible enough for only Kate to hear. Her voice was steady and composed, carrying a hint of satisfaction. She had long awaited this mo
Floating in the air like an angel, Clarissa looked down at Kate who reached for her weapon frantically. Kate’s eyes were wide with fear and desperation as she scrambled to grab hold of her weapon. She had never felt so vulnerable and exposed, lying there on the cold ground, her heart pounding in her chest.The judges were on edge, they couldn't even help Kate at this point because they knew the spectators would not agree with it, as they all seemed to like the character of Clarissa. The tension could be seen clearly and the judges exchanged worried glances. They knew any attempt to interfere would be met with outrage from the audience, who were clearly rooting for Clarissa, they would notice their cheating the moment they tried. At this point, even they couldn't help Kate! The helplessness was frustrating, but there was nothing they could do without risking a scandal.Viper watched the battle with a smile on his face, so drawn to the battle that he even forgot to announce. His atten
At the Frozen Land, Carson could be seen making his way down to the death tower with a confused expression on his face. The towering structure loomed over him, casting a long shadow on the frozen ground. It had been about 8 hours since a raptor appeared in the Frozen Land and passed on shocking news. Raptor's sudden appearance and his message had left Carson reeling. He couldn't shake off the feeling of disbelief that clung to him."How is William the son of a god? How can that even be possible?" Carson asked himself. He muttered these questions repeatedly, hoping that somehow, by sheer force of repetition, the answers would materialize.He had been debating this matter in his mind for some time now, but every time, the situation worsened as he could not come to a conclusion about the revelation. His thoughts spiraled into confusion, creating an endless loop of doubt and curiosity."I don't know about William that much, but I know he is an orphan. His father and mother are unknown;
FROSTER FAMILYTwo huge jeeps drove into the vicinity of the Froster family, sitting inside the jeeps were two of the most trusted soldiers of the Froster family.As the jeeps arrived in the parking lot, two other men in suits arrived and began taking care of the cars while the two soldiers stepped out and went into the mansion. The suited men moved quickly, checking the vehicles' engines and tires to ensure everything was in perfect condition. The soldiers, on the other hand, walked with purpose, their boots echoing on the stone path leading to the grand entrance.Their actions were so coordinated that it almost felt like they were artificial intelligence. Every move was precise and deliberate, reflecting years of rigorous training and discipline.Inside the vast sitting room of the luxurious structure, Bolt Froster could be seen sitting on his throne with his cheek resting on his palm. The room was adorned with expensive artworks and exquisite furniture, showcasing the wealth and ta
Agent Walker boldly pointed his gun at the Bloodcrest brother. His eyes moved carefully, observing his surroundings to see if there was another Bloodcrest brother nearby. He knew this mission was dangerous, and he couldn't afford to make any mistakes. Nevertheless, from his position, he could not see them on the roof. "You should leave now that we have given you the chance to. You should know that protecting the Storm family is not going to pay your bills; it will only take your life," the Bloodcrest brother warned again. His voice was cold and menacing, carrying a threat that sent chills down Walker's spine. But Walker stood firm, his resolve unshaken.Their sole mission today was simply to capture Lady Storm and her grandson. With this, they would be able to draw out Carson and William, who were able to use blood magic. The Bloodcrest brothers believed that capturing Lady Storm and her grandson would give them the leverage they needed. It was a calculated plan, designed to exploi
