Chapter 394 Battle Royale (1)



"I have been watching the sides compete each day. But, I'm truly disappointed by the young masters of our nation."

"That's right. All they know is being arrogant, enjoying themselves, and showing off in front of us."

"Even though our country is also losing its reputation, but I have to say that I am happy. At least, that guy that took away my girlfriend is loosing his face completely, hehe."

"Hey, don't bring personal grudges to a matter like this. Don't you see how proud those guys look? You should know that after they are done with this, they are going to say that all the youths present in Azima are weaklings. Of course, even though we did not participate in this event, the ones that we despise are those that represent us."

"That's right. But, I'm wondering what kind of idiot decided on something like this. The majority of those that are representing us are only good at enjoying themselves or some of them good at business management. But in terms of talent, the majority of them don't have any talent in the events that they participated in."

"What can we do? This is a world that is controlled by money. You don't have money, so what if you complain? You will just complain until your mouth runs dry. But still, you will not get what you want."

"Anyway, today is the last day of the event. Who knows what event is going to be held today?"

"I heard some rumors. They claimed that today's event is fighting."

"Fighting? Are you serious? Are you trying to tell me that these profligate young masters and misses are going to participate in a fighting competition?"

"Are you an idiot or something? If you didn't think that this was going to be a fight, then, why did you come to the Generous fighter arena? This is where fights are held! They are obviously going to fight."

"That is completely impossible! They always depend on the bodyguards that had been hired by their parents to protect them. They have never been strong by themselves."

"Who said that they are the ones going to fight? Of course they are going to choose someone from each country to participate in the fighting competition."

"Just like always. Always depending on others to show off."

"Stop saying that. It is not like you are capable of fighting someone. In fact, you are the most cowardly person that I have ever encountered."

"Stop bringing the grudge between the two of us here. Must you just tell everyone that I'm faster than you?"

"What is there to be proud of? You only know how to run. Do you dare to fight me right now?"

"They are coming! There they are. I'm wondering who is going to represent those guys from our country in the fight."

At this moment, inside Generous fighter arena, (The arena that is currently owned by Jack.) a large group of youths had congregated here.

They were excited as they continued chatting with each other. They were the witnesses of the event between the five countries.n0velusb.c0M

They had all been invited over, but of course, the ones that had been involved in the invitation were the people from Atati nation.

They had always been wanting to make sure that Azima was completely disgraced. So, they thought that by making sure that Azima lost in front of a large crowd, those from this country would not have the face to show in front of anyone else in the future.

The crowd finally began calming down after they realized that a group of over 100 people were walking over.

Each and everyone was meticulously dressed, showing their statuses in terms of wealth. Additionally, the majority of them were walking with their chins raised in the air.

And, they were giving the spectating crowd mocking gazes. This was of course from those that came from outside Azima. To them, this crowd had simply come over to experience their own nation getting defeated.

After they came over, they went and sat on their designated places. Each nation had been given a place that they were going to sit, a distance away from the spectators.

After that, like always, someone went ahead and introduced the event of the day. And of course, since the rumors had already been spread before, the crowd was already in the know of what they were going to expect.

"...But, this time, they have made changes. Instead of participating in the event by themselves, they have decided that each country is going to select a fighter that they believe to be the strongest." The mc said enthusiastically to the crowd.

His words made the crowd to begin clamoring once again. Even though they had been expecting this, but still, they were surprised when it was confirmed.

After the crowd calmed down, the mc continued, "But of course, there is a difference to the normal fighting competitions that you always see. This time, they have decided that only those under the age of 25 are going to participate in the fighting competition."

The moment that he said those words, the crowd began speaking again. Each and every one of them didn't see the difference between choosing someone to represent them or not. After all, it was a group of youngsters at the end of the day.

"The rules have been made. It is going to be a battle royale, the one that is knocked out will be eliminated." The mc said once again. And completely ignoring the crowd that had begun making 'noise' once again, he continued, "I will begin introducing the people that have been selected from both nations."

"Introducing the fighter from Atati, we have Anderson! From Zyro, we have Matthias! From Zembe, we have Bachan! From Toloa, we have Titus. Finally, from Azima, we have Silver!"

As the mc continuously named the fighters, they began appearing one after the other, and entered the arena.

The arena of Generous fighter was circular in shape, having a diameter of 50 m. But of course, during normal fights, the arena could always be changed depending on the type of fight.

One after the other, young men with bulky bodies stepped onto the arena. But of course, the most eye-catching person was definitely the one with a slim figure.

Out of all, this was the only person that possessed a physique that was way smaller than the others. This made the crowd completely confused. They had been expecting that since this was a fight that represented the final event, it was supposed to be intense.

But, they had never expected that there was going to be a fighter that was chosen, and he was going to be eliminated just after a single punch.

Additionally, he was putting on a mask on his face, concealing his appearance. To them, that implied that he didn't want the crowd to know who he was after he lost.

Nonetheless, as the crowd continued clamoring, the mc continued with the procedures.

...

"Luther, you are the one who decided on this. As long as the person that you decided on loses, then, you have to make sure that you compensate our families for all the losses that we have suffered so far." Felix said as he looked at Luther, both of them seated in spectators area.

"Don't worry about that. You also saw that my father agreed, and he also signed the agreement. So, after this event is over, if the person that I selected fails, then you can also take us to court to ensure that we compensate your families." Luther replied confidently.

At the same time, he looked at the group of people around him and said, "I hope that you guys don't go back on your words as well. As long as he wins, all the benefits that will come from him winning this event will belong to my family."

Even though the group was quite skeptical about the matter, they still nodded. At the end of the day, all of them had signed an agreement before it was finally decided that they were going to choose Jack to participate as their fighter.

Had they not lost badly previously, then, all of them would have decisively refused. After all, they cared about their reputation the most.

But after they realized that with losing the events, their families were also suffering losses, they agreed the moment that Luther stated that he was going to compensate them as long as Jack lost.

And even though it did not seem like it, almost every one of them was currently hoping that Jack would lose. After all, with him losing, they were going to be capable of recovering the losses that they had suffered previously.

Luther looked at the arena, but still, even though he believed that Jack was going to win, he was still quite worried. After all, he had informed his father previously that they had to place everything that they could on the bet.

As for the betting system that they were using, it was that, everyone that placed a bet had to place a bet with the same stake as everyone else. And since his father had placed a bet that was worth a lot, everyone else had placed the bet of the same value.

That implied that if they won, they were going to take everything. And with that, they were going to be capable of recovering the losses that they had suffered.

His family had already suffered from the fine that had been placed on them after it was revealed that Luther's father had already disclosed the matter of the betting.

Luther's family had to pay 5% shares of their businesses. This had already made them bleed, considering that those five percent shares were worth several tens of billions of dollars.

Luther finally shifted his gaze towards a certain part of the crowd. There, he realized that Celine was also looking at him. Then, she gave him a nod, assuring him that there was nothing for him to worry about.

After receiving her confirmation, Luther's heart finally calmed down. At the end of the day, this was a matter that concerned his family's abilities. Luckily, Celine had said that if Jack failed, then, she was going to compensate him with everything that he would have lost.

"Let the Battle Royale begin!" The mc said from the middle of the arena.
