Chapter 654 - "Territory Siege"

Facing Ainsley's heartfelt thank-you message, the children chuckled before replying one by one. 

Larsen: Don't mind it. Our family only helps you a little. In the end, it's not even a help...it's just a win-win transaction. 

Zenan: Yeah, you deserve that 19th place thanks to your effort too. 

Arlin: Agree! Our Lil Ain is the best! Kyaaaa! When will you visit our family and try on many dresses that I have prepared for you?? 

Caca: Arlin, you're straying off the topic…

Azkar: Lmao. Be serious, big sis! We are accepting Ainsley's thanks here! Right, Lil Ain? 

Ainsley: Well, that's true. 

Ainsley paused before sending another message. 

Ainsley: After all, if you guys didn't introduce me to your elder brothers and sisters, there's no way I can even buy the drugs and sell them later…

Caca: Pffftt. True. But just introducing you to our older sisters and brothers isn't that hard. It's too easy. 

Azkar: Alright, alright, we accept Lil Ain's thanks, period. Now, can we focus on a more important thing to discuss? 

Arlin: What is it? I don't know how you can even have anything important to talk about. 

Azkar, who was being serious for once, almost crushed his phone with his bare hands. 

Big sis Arlin really has a poisonous tongue! 

The young boy twitched his lips as he replied to Arlin's message. 

Azkar: I'm going to talk about the tournament's second round! This is important for Lil Ain! Have you seen the new update on the website, Lil Ain? 

Ainsley was so busy chatting with her friends that she hadn't checked the website. It was already evening, nearing 6 p.m. 

However, the mafia council usually gave out a new post at midnight or after dinner time. 

It was so unusual for them to send out a new post in this hour! 

Ainsley hurriedly thanked Azkar for his reminder and immediately opened the mafia council's advancement tournament website on her phone. 

Once she successfully opened the website, Ainsley immediately searched for the newest post and saw an announcement regarding the tournament's second round. 

[Good day, participants! Welcome to the tournament's second round. Here is the list of participants that can participate.] 

There's a link below that one paragraph message, and it should contain the edited list of the first round's ranking– only up to the top 65 families. 

But the post didn't end with that message. Scrolling down, there were more messages along with a few pictures. 

[Now, let's see the rules of the game for the second round! Proudly introducing the next instance– Territory Siege!] 

Two bold words written in maroon and using a dripping blood font appeared on the post. 

Following the two words were another barrage of texts. 

[Territory Siege: One Family will besiege another family's main mansion. The goal is to take the flag planted at the centre of the mansion.] 

[Instance clearance period: 3 days] 

[Rules: The participants will be divided into two sides– assailant and defender. Each member of the assailant team will be assigned one member of the defender team.] 

[The assailant's goal is to steal a flag while the defender's goal is to protect the flag. Since this is a real-life territory siege, there's no limit to one's military force.] 

[Both sides are free to do anything to achieve their goal. However, the participants can't accept help from other forces, either from the mafia society or outside.] 

[There will be one lucky family that will automatically pass to the next round without participating in this round. The lucky winner will be announced through the website's lucky wheel.] 

[Further information about the do and don'ts of the game can be seen on the link below.] 

[PS: The mafia council will start dividing the participants and matching them to their enemy at midnight today.] 

When Ainsley finished reading the post, she almost fainted right away. 

Territory siege? Attacking the main mansion or defending it? Fck! 

And the game period is three days– it means the participants either attack the other party for three days straight or defend their mansion for three days. 

Although the post just now said that the participants had two weeks to prepare for the game and no participants were allowed to start the game in advance, things are still dangerous. 

The game is played in real life...the damage sustained is also real…

What if one side loses the round and their family also goes down the road? It's easy to take advantage of this round to actually try to acquire another mafia family's main mansion! 

Main mansion– that's the core of the family! Is the mafia council crazy or what? Do they want to weaken the mid-ranking families? Are they idiots?! 

Ainsley was so anxious that she started to bite her thumbnail. This second round is way more dangerous than the first round. 

There will be more casualties...and maybe, those who didn't participate in the tournament will suddenly attack the participants when they're in the tournament's second round. 

Fortunately, Ainsley reread the post and saw that the mafia council guaranteed the participants' safety from outside forces aside from fellow participants. 

It means that there would be no one trying to fish in muddy water. Still, to actually make the participants wage war on each other…

Neither the assailant team nor the defender team has blatant advantages. 

The council can force the assailant team to attack a family that is far away from their territory, deliberately making things hard for them. 

The defender team also had disadvantages. 

The assailant team might lose many members, but if the defender team loses, they would probably lose their main mansion or their main territory too. 

Nonetheless, Ainsley hoped that her family would be the assailant. 

After all...her mansion can't withstand a three-day siege!
