Chapter 162: The Republic Of Trad.
"Hey... Raven. What the hell do you think you're doing? Call for the vote,"
Raven didn't answer and the man shot to his feet and slammed his hand on the table!
"I told you to call for the vote, Raven!!!"
Raven stayed silent and only tightened his hold on the ball even more. From the other end of the table, Floid spoke.
"Five seconds left,"
Everyone in the room looked towards Floid in shock and Floid just smiled. It was hilarious watching this. Floid couldn't believe that everyone was so engrossed in the game that they forgot that Raven was also a part of it. Raven was also a stakeholder in this kingdom and he also needed to have a ball in order to survive. Did they really think that Raven would give up his life to save them?
All the stakeholders in the room were surprised when Raven refused to call for another vote and the man that was supposed to be voted for yelled out in anger once he realized that time was almost up! He threw his chair away and bolted straight for Raven! He needed to get that ball! What the hell does Raven think he is doing!? You can't cheat like this!
His movement was what finally made everyone come alive in the room and all the people with balls held tightly to their balls and hid them so that the ball wouldn't be taken from them! But the dark-skinned woman that received four votes couldn't move fast enough and she was suddenly pounced on by the man that only had one vote! He had a look of desperation on his face as he slammed his fist into her face and kicked her before grabbing the ball and running for his dear life!!
"No!! Fuck!!!"
The woman's son shouted out in anger and he shot to his feet to try and take the ball back from the man but he was too late. A lance shot out of the ground and pierced into the boy's jaw before slamming out from the top of his head!
Squelch!!
"Ahhhhh!!!"
The dark-skinned woman screamed as she saw her son getting killed but she also suffered the same fate as she was pierced through the chest by a lance! Just like that, everyone that didn't have a ball was immediately killed!
From the very beginning, this entire game was pointless to Floid and Floid didn't care how they distributed the ball. All Floid said was that he would kill the six people that were not chosen. It didn't matter how they were chosen. So long as you had a ball, you would survive.
Raven stood with a stoic face as he stared at the man who was trying to get the ball back from him. The man was only a finger length away but a lance had stabbed through his chest and anchored him to the ground. He was glaring at Raven with anger and there was blood leaking from his lips. If Raven was the sort of person who believed in ghosts, then Raven was sure that this man's ghost would haunt him for the rest of his life!
Once Floid was satisfied with their clapping, he stood up and started walking out of the room. He was finished with them. Floid stopped in front of Raven and Raven bowed deeply to Floid while thanking him.
"I will never forget the favor you showed me today. I am truly grateful for your mercy,"
Katherine grit her teeth in anger when Raven called this mercy! If this is merciful then what the hell would be merciless!? What the hell would Floid have done if he was going all out? Floid already killed more than a hundred people today and Raven was acting like it would have been much worse!
Floid just put his hand on Raven's head and he felt Raven stiffen under him. Floid spoke with a smile.
"I decided that it would be fun to watch you play with this republic. But even as you are playing with them, don't forget your place, cattle. Do not ever make it so that I have to remind you. Do you understand?"
Raven nodded shakily and Floid smiled before removing his hand from Raven's head and turning.
"There will be a guest with you for the foreseeable future. Take proper care of him will you."
Floid signaled to Alucard with two fingers. Alucard held his hand out and he summoned a bat familiar from his spatial space. The bat familiar released a small cry before it flew off Alucard's hand and landed on Raven's shoulder. It flapped its wings a few times before it settled down and got comfortable. Raven flinched as he felt the bat familiar dig its claws into his shoulder. Raven could feel some blood leaking from the shoulder but he ignored it and he just thanked Floid for the opportunity once again.
Raven waited to hear the sound of Floid leaving the room before he finally fell to his ass. He put his head in his hands and sighed. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!!! What the hell have they gotten themselves into!?
A hand touched Raven on his free shoulder and Raven looked up to see Katherine's father looking down at him. The man spoke with intensity.
"Raven, I believe that now you have the time to explain things to us. Tell me exactly what happened over the last twenty-four hours. What did you do, Raven?"

Raven closed his eyes and sighed again before he stood up and looked at the other eight people in the room. Travy and Alucard already left with the demon lord but the bat familiar resting on Raven's shoulder reminded him that his every move was being watched. But Raven knew that even if he explained things to them there won't be a problem.
Raven stood and faced everyone and the first words he said made everyone realize that their fates were already sealed.
"That man was the king of demons. The new demon lord, Floid Demonheart,"
