Chapter 614 - "A Pretty Vase?"

Ainsley snorted in her heart before decisively commanding her people in a low voice. 

"Prepare for combat. Go into formation! Don't bother trying to escape the hall. I guess all the exits have been sealed." 

At Ainsley's words, Jevon and the others subconsciously clench their fists. 

The group silently went to make a little battle formation with Ainsley and Axelle at the centre and the others around the two.

Jevon teamed up with Ethania, and they guarded the North side. Alvaro teamed up with Marietta to guard the East. 

Nouvan and Chris guarded the South, while Elliana and Becca guarded the West. 

Martin stood outside of the circle, ready to blend with the crowd. 

Next to him was Cellino in his cat form, also ready to battle the other sacred beasts and fairies in the hall. 

While Ainsley's group was ready to defend themselves from enemies attacks, some quick-witted family heads also realised what the council meant by excluding 20 families from the first round. 

In fact, the first round had started a long time ago...and this banquet is the first elimination! 

There's only one thought in their mind. 

The banquet...will be turned into a battle royale where the last 80 families remaining can directly join the tournament's first round. 

If that's the case…

Some calm bosses immediately ordered their people to keep up their guards while explaining their hypothesis. 

Some bold ones even eyed their rivals, or other families with the bad feud between them, ready to strike. 

This is a chance to kill the family that they don't like! 

Even if the family won't instantly collapse when the family head passes away, it's enough to give a massive headache for the unlucky family. 

Thus, in just ten minutes, a few confident bosses armed their subordinates with weapons they hid somewhere and boldly advanced to their target family. 

When these people strode with a menacing aura like that, how could the rest of the participants didn't know what would happen? All of them were instantly enlightened. 

A battle royale! This is a battle royale! A do or die one! Fck! 

They should have guessed that a tournament created by the mafia council would certainly spill tons of blood. There's no way it would be peaceful. 

And tonight is the proof. 

Within seconds, the sound of gunfire and special abilities echoed within the hall. 

"Attack! Kill the Gabin Family Head!" 

"Go, go! Protect the family head!" 

"Kill the Dayon Family Head!" 

The originally tranquil and lively party abruptly turned into a bloody battle. Tables and chairs were thrown everywhere. The food and drinks stained the floor.

The terrified shouts and cries of the children made the atmosphere even more suffocating. 

"Young master, be careful!" 

"Young miss! Ah!" 

The guards were busy protecting their family head or attacking others. 

The children were neglected, but there would be occasional stray bullets or miss attacks that unfortunately attacked the children. 

Those with special abilities could still defend themselves, but those without abilities couldn't even scream before their bodies fell onto the floor with blood pouring out of their bodies. 

The pungent smell of gunpowder, blood, mixed with the unique scent of various special abilities and the sickeningly sweet perfume of the female participants, slowly became one. 

The whole hall gave off different kinds of smell, definitely sickening to the bone. 

The sound of battle cries and the corpses on the floor only added more 'colour' to the desolate night. 

Various beasts and monsters roared to the ceiling, and the glass windows shook. 

The sound of people banging the door broke the noisy backsound, but soon, only blood was left on the tightly shut door. 

Amid such chaos, there's no way the Sloan Family could escape unscathed. 

Various families have already targeted their family since the Sloan Family was a threat to the other families. 

One by one, countless men and women in black and white suits surrounded Ainsley's people. 

"Kill the Sloan Family head!" 

"Their family has no other heirs. Once we kill the family head, their family will fall for sure." 

"Kill! Kill!" 

The people were excited to kill the useless and all-for-show puppet family head. However, before they could even get close to Ainsley, her people reacted. 

"Ha! As long as we are here, don't even think of touching the boss!" 

Jevon shouted as he led his people to counterattack the enemies. Of course, he didn't leave his post, faithfully guarding Ainsley with his broad back. 

The others weren't an exception. All of them were multi-ability users with unique abilities. 

Without a neutraliser, they could fully display their power as the new generation's geniuses. 

Ainsley didn't need to do anything, and her people were already cleaning up 'trash' for her! 

At the same time, countless sacred beasts and fairies were also engaged in a battle, but Ainsley, who had never seen a fairy before, couldn't even look at the battle. 

After all, some sacred beasts dared to provoke Cellino, attacking him at the same time. Right now, the Fenrir was fighting with other sacred beasts, showing off his might! 

"AWOOOO!" Cellino whipped his tail toward his enemy, and countless sharp air blades struck out. 

With his gigantic size and his various wind-manipulation skills, Cellino could hold his ground even against more than one sacred beast. 

After all, none of them was as strong as Vallan! 

Many people tried to assassinate Ainsley, but upon seeing her capable subordinates, they couldn't help but lament. 

"Tsk! Even if the boss is just a puppet, with such brilliant subordinates, no wonder she can still clutch into her pitiful little life." 

"Yeah, yeah. Wonder if there's a competent boss behind this puppet boss. Maybe that's why the Sloan Family is rising so fast." 

Ainsley Sloan is just a pretty vase!
