Chapter 232: "Feast"

The following days, the competition showed a fierce battle between countries.

There were more than five countries that showed powerful might, but only five could be chosen for the remaining spot in the main competition.

The winner of Block D was Japan. They showed an unbalanced but unique formation as their teams had five Warriors. It was such a bizarre combination, but it worked perfectly with Japan as they managed to defeat all their competitors.

Not losing against Japan, two other countries from Asia Continent won their right to the main competition. They were India and China. Both of them had an amazing lineup that wouldn't lose to Japan or even the United Kingdom.

In fact, Theo could see that those who competed for the championship had a similar level of prowess.

It was shown by another three Blocks.

Egypt showed such a wondrous might with their Deities coming at full force.

However, the United States showed another form of combat. Unlike those who relied on Blessing and Talent, the United States relied on their weaponry. It was reflected with their leader, who claimed herself as the greatest cowboy in the world.

Her family seemed to be rich since she used some grenades and plasma guns wastefully. In the elimination round alone, she might have used more than a few million Zils.

Yet, that money showed an overwhelming might in the competition, telling the world that not everything needed to be categorized by Blessings.

Theo could somehow understand a bit of their strength, even though those people clearly hadn't shown everything. They couldn't afford to reveal their trump card in the elimination round after all.

Even Theo didn't want to use his trump card.

With this, eight participants had been chosen. They were Thersland, Italy, the United Kingdom, Japan, India, Egypt, China, and the United States.

As one would expect, Thersland had the lowest expectation to win the battle, but Theo and the others didn't care much about it.

After watching the last match, Theo simply rose from the seat and planned to work on his plan.

However, Radvils stopped him with a serious expression. He took out a black card and said, "Anyway, you shouldn't leave. After this, you're going to dress up for the banquet. The country will pay for everything."

"Is it going to be a high-end banquet? Ugh, can't we just go with casual clothes?" Theo let out a sigh, feeling uncomfortable since he never participated in this kind of banquet.

"Well, good luck. I won't have anything to do with it anyway. Also, the main competition will resume in two days. Prepare yourself." Radvils shrugged. "Let's return to the hotel first so you can take a bath… I have reserved a place for you to dress up and fix your appearance, especially Theo. If you want to be famous, you need to get used to this kind of party."

Theo looked away and sighed, knowing it was something he needed to do.

Ellen and Alea looked at each other as if they came to an understanding.

As soon as they returned, Radvils sent a car to pick them up for this banquet. They needed to do some make-up and picked their clothes after all.

Luckily, they returned to the hotel at 2 PM and the party would start at 9 PM, so they had time to spare. And with Radvils resolving the entire process, they only needed to go there and be done with it.

…

One hour before the banquet, Alea and Ellen had finished their make-up and were ready to go.

Alea had a small bun on the back of her head, with the rest of her hair falling smoothly on her back, reaching to her waist. The side hair also rested gently on her chest. She wore a light blue long dress, close to white, with a white silk belt wrapping her waist. Two silk gloves covered her hands up to her elbow. She appeared to be more elegant and mature than her casual style.

Ellen, on the other hand, tied her pink hair into a ponytail and rested it on her chest. She wore a long white dress, making her appear shining. Her red lips added a bit of a mature side to her face. With a small smile on her face, she looked enchanting.

"You've finished, Ellen…" Alea smiled and spun her body once, checking her appearance.

"Yep. How about the boys?"

"They entered one hour earlier. I think they're going to finish soon."

As Alea explained, Phyrill finally came out of the room. He wore a red shirt coupled with a black tuxedo that complemented both the shirt and his pink hair. He gracefully fixed the sleeve and walked to the girls, finding they had finished. "Yo, you have finally finished. I thought we're going to wait for another two hours."

"That's why we started two hours earlier," said Ellen with a calm expression. "We, girls, have many things to do, you know."

Before Phyrill replied, Laust and Sihan exited together.

Laust paired a white shirt with a black tuxedo that had some purple glows that matched his purple hair. He tightened his white gloves and walked together with Sihan.

Meanwhile, Sihan also wore a white shirt with a tight suit light-blue tuxedo. He didn't care much about his appearance anywhere, so he was the only one lacking in terms of appearance.

Still…

"Ellen, our group is quite a looker, eh?" Alea smiled and looked at the three.

"Indeed."

"What are you two talking about? We are always like this…" Phyrill shook his head helplessly.

"No, no. You all are charming right now. Just like how guys love to feast their eyes on beautiful women, we also love to see handsome guys." Alea chuckled.

"Where is Theo?" Ellen asked Phyrill.

"He has a lot of things to do since he never takes care of his appearance. It's going to be a bit…" Phyrill suddenly stopped and turned around, noticing Theo had finished.

With Alea and Ellen feasting their eyes, Theo exited the dressing room.

"Ugh. It's really uncomfortable," said Theo while walking with a cool and aloof expression.

However, both Alea and Ellen were stupefied and dropped their jaws to the ground, seeing Theo's new appearance.
