The arena's atmosphere was getting livelier by the moment. The audience continued to shout hysterically, and some spectators continued to arrive from various doors. Dariel was still in his place. "What will happen after this?"Dariel clenched his fists tightly, forced to stand up because he could no longer see the arena. "Deric and the others are going to love this place."Dariel frowned as he recalled his father's messages. "Dad asked me to watch out for Uncle Donald and Deric."Daisy didn't care about the crowd. She was still focused on the picture of Davis in the bag, which the girl held very tightly. "Shit! What's Davis up to?" asked Jack as he scanned the crowd in the stands. "He always gets on my nerves!"Harry laughed. "My father is both annoyed and curious about Davis. He keeps sneering at Davis, but at the same time, he's always asking questions about him.""Aren't you bothered by that, Harry?" Emir asked, pausing at the sight of someone in the audience. "I've never seen m
The atmosphere got more and more intense from time to time. The crowd kept shouting while the VIP and VVIP guests enthusiastically watched the matches. Large screens showed the battle in the arena. The masked men moved very quickly, starting to attack Jay from various directions. Jay dodged the attacks nimbly, hitting punches and kicks until some of the masked men were pushed back a few steps. The crowd was amazed at Jay's movements. The challengers continued to approach him, but they were pushed away without being able to land a single strike. "The God of Death is very strong," Dariel said without even looking up from the arena. He smiled broadly as several challengers began to fall. "He managed to hold Adrian down and push him off. I don't regret coming to this place!"Daisy rolled her eyes, choosing to listen to the music. "This place is so noisy. Why do men always like annoying things?"Daisy smiled as she peered at the picture of Davis in her bag. She glanced at the door, clo
Davis stifled a laugh. "Shall I ask the God of Death to relent a little, sir?"Henry Tolando gave Davis a sharp look. "Shut your mouth, and don't act arrogant in my presence, Davis!""Very well, sir." Davis was still getting warnings from the system. "Dariel and Daisy are still in the VVIP room. If I leave, I'll likely run into them."The battle was getting hotter by the moment. Two more challengers were knocked unconscious in the arena. Only six challengers were still standing. Jay let out a long breath. "Age can't lie. I'm exhausted even though I didn't fight seriously enough. I want to get some rest now."Jay jumped up and down a little, glancing at the remaining six challengers. The crowd clamored for the "God of Death" while supporting and insulting the conscious and unconscious challengers."The fight has been going on for five minutes, but the God of Death is still standing tall against the remaining six challengers," the host said. Jay moved quickly, targeting the most exhau
"What do you mean, Logan?" asked Ludwig."As I said, Henry Tolando is in the battle arena. He's working with a new businessman to manage that place. That God of Death seems to be one of his subordinates," Logan explained. Ludwig clenched his fists tightly. "Henry Tolando does have very good men. That God of Death is indeed one of his subordinates."Logan smiled. "Then, what are you going to do, sir? Are you still going to recruit at the God of Death?"Ludwig was silent for a while, observing the night view of the city. "I canceled my plan to recruit the God of Death. It was too risky. I cannot afford to make any mistakes now.""Even if you cancel the plan, that doesn't mean you shouldn't find out the weakness of the Death God, sir. In addition to preparing your troops, you must also find out your opponent's strengths and weaknesses.""You're right, Logan." Ludwig laughed. "I'm not surprised why Levon chose you. Do you have a good plan?""I take that as a compliment, sir." Logan smile
Henry Tolando saw Dariel and Daisy at the door, turning to Davis for a moment. "In accordance with their request, I must pretend not to know them. I'm lucky that I don't have to make small talk with them. Davis would have been curious and asked about them."Henry Tolando smiled. "Davis still hasn't seen them," he muttered.Davis clenched his fists tightly when he saw a man and woman near the door to the left. "Dariel and Daisy are indeed in the VVIP room. I have to act like I didn't see them. Although the system regards them as dangerous people to me, I'll be fine as long as I don't come into contact with them."Helga squeezed her clothes at the sight of Daisy. "That woman does like Davis. She seemed to be observing Davis from earlier. I'm lucky that she seemed tense, so she didn't approach Davis."Sebastian observed Dariel and Daisy. "This is my first time seeing Dariel and Daisy in person. They've grown up. Although they are incognito, I can tell by their posture and movements."Sam
The system continued to give warnings. The red screen showed that Davis was very close to Dariel and Daisy. The atmosphere was quiet, in contrast to the conditions in the courtyard and other arenas. "Did you call me, Miss?" Davis asked as he observed Daisy. He turned to Dariel, who was looking down. "Dariel looked down and tried to hide his face with his hat. He doesn't seem to intend to attack me," he muttered. Daisy instantly froze in place, staring at Davis without blinking. Her heart seemed to want to burst into tiny pieces. "Davis is so different from the Davis I used to know. He's more handsome and dashing than ever," she mused. Daisy took a deep breath, controlling the pounding in her chest. She suddenly found it difficult to speak in front of Davis. "What's happening to me? Why am I staying silent when Davis is right behind me now? Don't I want to talk to him?"Dariel looked down, glancing at Davis and his guards. He pointed the ring, scanning the people nearby. "What's goi
The long night finally gave way to morning. Davis woke up refreshed. He washed his face at the sink, observing his face in the mirror. "I fell asleep as soon as I entered the room. I haven't even tried object 002 yet."Davis opened the window, observing the still-dark sky. The wind blew softly along with the calm waves. "I managed to finish the quest on time. I have two days before the main quest comes back. I'll do an evaluation today. I hope Mr. Henry is interested in investing in my company again."Davis walked out of the room and down the stairs. He met Carlos and Jacob on the terrace. "Where's Alex? Is he still sleeping?""That brat has been up since an hour ago. Don is giving him his punishment now," Carlos replied with a laugh. "I forgot about Alex sneaking into the battle arena with his friends last night. Even though Alex said he was just going to play in his room, I assumed he'd be watching the battle arena."Davis smiled. "What a brat! I wonder what punishment Alex rece
The Anderson family mansion looked different tonight. The sound of applause filled the room as a woman and a man took turns putting on the rings. Davis, on the other hand, smiled as he entered the room. This was the first time in his 25 years of attending a party. The man prepared his appearance as best he could despite having to deplete his savings. "Congratulations on your engagement, Ethan, Susan." Davis suddenly froze when he heard the voice. He saw two people he knew kissing on stage. His happy smile vanished. "What's going on here?" Davis said loud enough to get everyone's attention. The crowd instantly split in two as he walked over. All the Andersons smiled at the sight of Davis. They had long disliked the man as they considered him a useless nuisance. Tonight was his last night in their family. "You've come at a good time, Davis," said Drake, the leader of the Anderson family, "take those dirty dishes to the kitchen." Davis clenched his fists tightly. "What's all this a
