Chapter 358 First round (36)

The points from Michael's badge started to decrease while the points that were on my badge started to increase.In no time at all, all of the points had disappeared from Michael's badge and had gone to mine.

Once I was done, I just tossed the token back to him like it was worthless.

Michael caught it and looked down at the number that was still projected.

With a bitter look on his face, he just stared at the large goose egg that was in front of him.

Then he looked up at me with a look of rage, as if he was saying that he would get me for this.

I didn't care at all as I turned to the others and said, "Bring out your tokens or else."

All of them had seen how I had treated Michael, so they knew that I was serious.

However, there were many of them that were hesitating to take out their tokens.

Once they did, they would lose all of the points that they had obtained. Once they lost those points, it would be very unlikely that they would be able to make it to the next round.

After all, half of their time had already passed and if they lost all of their points, how would they catch up to those that still had their points?

Not to mention, they were all injured and needed time to heal, so they would have even less time to make up for the point difference.

They knew that as long as they handed over the token, then it would all be over.

So there were some that were thinking of different ideas.

They wanted to find a different method to end this so they wouldn't have to give up their tokens.

After a long silence, one of them suddenly came forward to say, "How about we give you something else? We have plenty of treasures here and as long as you're willing to take them instead of the token, then we'll give you everything."

As they said this, they took out several items that they placed in front of them.

These items were the items that this person's guild had given them for this tournament.

These were items that had been specifically given to this person for the tournament, so there was no doubt that they would be precious items. These items had been prepared by their guild to help them pass this tournament, but now they had no choice but to offer it up.

After all, comparing the two, the points on the token were more important.

While these items might help them later in the tournament, there was no meaning to these items if they couldn't make it past the first round.

If they were knocked out in the first round, then it would be a major blow to their prestige and their position in their guilds. In short, it would be like saying that there were no prospects for them in the future. Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

So this was the last thing that they could allow to happen.

It was just too bad for them that I didn't care at all about them.

I gave a nod to the others and they also came forward to kick these people down to take their tokens.

Right now, the most important thing was passing this first round and taking out as many of our rivals as possible. It didn't matter how they begged us since there was a need to take them all down to ensure that we would pass since we didn't know just how many people would pass in the first place.

But there were a few that were spared from having their points taken in the end.

It began with Tammy saying, "Can you spare that one?"

I had been about to take this person's token when Tammy had suddenly spoken.

When I turned around to look at her, she explained, "Their guild has a working cooperation with our Sol Warriors, so we need to give him some face at least."

Hearing this, I slowly gave a nod and let that person put the token away.

But I didn't let things end there since there was a chance that they might be a rival in the future.

Since I couldn't knock him out here, then I would just take what they would rely on in the future.

Like the first person suggested, I took the precious items of this person.

These were the items that their guild had given them, the items that they would have relied on to do better in the next round. So I was weakening them in preparation for the future.

Since I made one exception, there were other exceptions that were made.

These were the ones that had connections to Alex and Julius, as well as those that had connections to Elementia.

It was Bing Xin who told me about these ones since I didn't know as much about the working relationships of Elementia.

Other than these ones, the rest of them all had their tokens taken from them and their points stolen.

The way that they looked at us, it was clear that we had made quite a few enemies.

However, that was just how things were.

As for the distribution of these points, we made sure that everyone received a fair share so that all of us would have around the same amount of points.

But to my surprise, everyone had insisted that I take more of the points than them.

I didn't know what they were planning, but I received enough points so that I was far ahead of everyone else.

Though it seemed like a kind gesture, I couldn't help feeling that there was something here that I couldn't see…

Still, this wasn't the time to think too deeply about this since we were still inside of the dungeon.

The only thing that I could do was accept this gesture of theirs and move on.
