Chapter 198 - 187

Eliza had known that something was up with the way the coordinators were doing things. She was aware since the case about the mini event. The was they had plotted the scenario with a mix of surprise to left the teams unprepared. She knew that after the friendly match, this would happen.

It could be said that you couldn't pull the same trick twice but it couldn't be applied to those three.

As a capable Acting Master of the Guards and her grandfather having connections with the Supreme Ruler, it was not difficult for her to obtain first-hand informations from her subordinates even His Majesty himself had know her behind the scenes movement but he just turned a blind eye to it.

The long black haired turned brave and investigated the three coordinators that the Supreme Ruler had arranged for the Intercompetition. She unfortunately got small information about them and it was all basics but still if didn't hinder her from drawing up conclusions. She was innately intelligent since growing up so it wasn't a hustle for her to figure out these things.

And she was correct about her hypothesis about the doubles, it was 'nighttime', a good opportunity to start the doubles with unsuspecting players.

Berry wasn't in the mood to sleep as he was now thoroughly awaken by the current situation. 'This doubles segment was really something.'

He didn't ask the other what they were going to do next because he had already understood.

9:50 pm….

The silver haired young man and the second prince arrived were a man standing at the nearby artificial lake. His noble and majestic aura exuded a strong presence upon the people that would see him but there was still the lonely and ascetic beauty in that lofty figure. 

Silent and otherworldly, the round full-moon grazed its light upon that man. Sensing that someone was coming, the Supreme Ruler with the lonely aura turned into an enthusiastic father. Though he still retained his calmness under the guise of the mask covering his face but the light in his eyes were evident.

'Old man, I'll just pretend that I see nothing.' See no evil, hear no evil.

Chun greeted the Supreme Ruler together with the second prince with a polite bow. The was no outsider at this lakeside which Feng Zi immediately dropped the courtesy but he was still respectful.

"Father, what do you have arranged for Ninth Brother?" 

Magnus stayed silent for a moment. He was unwilling to talk as his mouth would be guilty to admit. 

The silver haired young man who couldn't stand the crickets background noise, smiled and inquired, "His Masjesty isn't so inconsiderate to waste his time for a small person like me?"

Even the ninth prince was favored by the Supreme Ruler, still Chun didn't want to act familiar to the other despite their blood relations. It was not for her own benefit but for the ninth prince benefit. The original owner was forgotten and died in the Snow Palace so this meeting with the father was not in the orginal plot that she had been aware of… or maybe she miscalculated?

'I'll just ask Xuan later.'

Suddenly, the Supreme Ruler who had been a statue there, asked. "What's the time?"

"10 pm." The second prince dutifully answered but in the middle of it, he paused while he realized something.

"This…" Looking at the lofty figure who had a bit of guilty light in his expression, the second prince was mad but he maintained cool-headedness before emotions.

Chun also realized it, too. She took hold the hand of the her second brother.

"Zi, we should be going. The Captain will miss us," her statement was half-joking but her tone was not.

Feng Zi snapped out from his stupor and controlled himself of bursting at the old man's tricks. He was used to their Royal Father's scheming attitude as he was not the only victim of it but his other siblings as well but those events would only occur inside the Royal Palace.

'But now, truly… this person had no bounds at all.'

The second prince was confused if he should be anger or irritated at the latter's actions but there was this feeling that restraining him of angering the other. It could be his survival instincts but Chun wasn't one to be put into their books.

She would write off this debt and let the Supreme Ruler have a difficult road of cultivating his heir.

Magnus sensed the sour feelings of his two sons, he pursed his lips and couldn't help but leave a hint.

"Chun, where would you find a quiet place yet full of unspoken noise?"

Chun and Feng Zi was about to leave the perpetrator but they paused in their steps. 

"Good luck." The Supreme Ruler then vanished, leaving without a trace.

The second prince couldn't help but curl his lips. Their father was really good. Even the silver haired young man felt that her initial thoughts of revenge should be considered first.

"Then, should we go back to Captain?"

Chun declined that idea. If this was part of the segment then it was obvious that separating them had a purpose. 

"Let's contact them first." It wouldn't be wise if they mindlessly go back, what if there were dangers on the road. Taking caution wasn't bad.

'To; Alliance. Zi and Chun

Subject: Let's Work Together

The doubles segment had now officially started. We give you the twist of the segment. Instead of the two participants dealing with their opponents for survival. The other teammates who were dutifully separated from them should be earning points at the sideline as well.

Mission: Find three specific objects.

Hint: Only you know. 

Duration: This is a long night. A week long night

With high regards, 

Coordinators ( ˘ ³˘)♥. '

After reading that, Feng Zi saw another message that was left unread fifteen minutes ago. It came from Lemon. 

Feng Zi was amused if the they were also tricked or that information was legitimate. Knowing that the captain and the strawberry haired youth was left in there.

Showing it to the silver haired young man, the second prince asked for her opinion.

"He said that they will be at the dormitory building A. Then let's group with them first before doing this task," Chun said as it would be good if they analyzed things with the other three. 

But when the second prince was about to click the send buŧŧom to relay a message to Lemon. It didn't allow him to send it. 

'Message failed to send'

What was this?

Obviously, they were hindered of easily finding the others. This should be not only happening to the Alliance because on each of the teams' side, they were also plotted.

20 minutes before….

With a dreamy face, the Vice Captain of the Blues, Chao said with happiness, "Captain! Captain! This is a great opportunity, the coordinators sent a task of capturing a Dark Charmer and it also comes with contribution points!"

Before Qin Shi could say anything, Chao with an excited mood did not wait as he dashed away with vigor. The long haired effiminate man could only sigh and voluntered himself to catch the 'headless chicken'.

Luo who had been bored with his mind tagged along as well. He did not want to be left out with the fun stuff than waiting here for the doubles segment to start.

The pink haired girl wasn't interested with those things as she went back to the dorm, the gentleman Sevi offered his service to escort his 'goddess'. It would be unfortunate if Rize would bumped with that playboy scum on the way.

Only the handsome stern faced captain and the sturdy with a huge body man was left behind. Although Shi Feng was reluctant to be sitting here, 'waiting to die'. It was inevitable because he and the captain were paricipants, they still need to run through the tactics that they would be taking.

----- Dormitory Building A 

From the other side, the Rose decided to go back to the dormitory first. Piero wanted to shower in order to get rid off the sweat that came from the match earlier. He had been known as a clean freak so it wasn't surprising for his teammates.

Meanwhile, Lu Min and his buddies wanted to enjoy some 'fresh vegetables' while strolling in the night. That was their excused to the red haired captain while their Vice Captain Chang Min knew what they were up to.

"Captain, we will be going back first!" he said outside the bedroom of the changing man. Piero didn't respond but his silence was an affirmation.

"Let's hurry up, bro. We need to gauge out the other teams' participants." 

Chang Jing also agreed with the idea and he hurriedly finished with changing his inner clothing with a more durable shirt. 

But as he stepped out, many heads welcomed him. Why were there many gathering teams here?
