Chapter 168: B - Rank Gate

"Governor, I'm curious about this Competition I heard from someone, What is it about?" Michael asked, turning to the Governor.

"Ha! I'm a man who values strength and mostly players, so I always host a competition for the youngsters, the winners gain life times."

"The Governor is really thoughtful, Can youngsters from other cities participate in this competition?" Rhodes, the first senator of Valeria asked.

"Of course, Everyone is allowed, but only to platinum players below." The Governor said with a smile.

"What is the rewards?" Daniel asked, taking a sip of his wine.

"It's nothing big this year, the winner gain 100,000 years of life times, and 1M in-game diamonds."

'Did he called that "Nothing"?' Michael thought, a little dumbfounded.

"Wow, You are great, Governor." Shawn said with a smile.

"Hahaha... It's all thanks to the president, Joker and the commander, It's nothing serious." The Governor said with a hearty laugh.

'These four are really up to something, by hosting this competition, they'll know which city has a potentially rising player, then either recruit he/her to the military or a Guild.' Michael moved his gaze around.

"Mr Michael, Do you have a contestant?" Cabello asked, placing his wine glass on the table.

'If Erika wins this competition, she'll have enough life times for her sister's surgery. But is she strong enough for that?'

"We'll see Mr Cabello, A question Governor." He turned to the Governor.

"Will the contestants be using pets?"

"Yes, they are allowed to use anything, even weapons. But no one is allowed to kill."

Michael calmly nodded at him.

"Ok, it's time." The Governor said with a smile and stood up with his glass of wine, then addressed the guests.

"Hello everyone! I'm so happy seeing all of you here, and I'm grateful to your gifts and good wishes..." He smiled at them.

"I know if not all, but 90% of everyone present is excited about this year competition."

"Yeah!!"

"You are the best Governor, you'll have everlasting life!!"

"Yes!!"

"Hahaha... Thank you! But this year competition isn't only organized by me, but also the President, Joker, and The Commander."

"Wow! These four are big figures!"

"What do you think will be this year reward?"

"I don't know, last year; the winner gained 30,000 years of lifetime. And I heard a lady won it."

"A lady? Wow."

"Yes, I remembered her. Her name is Zukila."

"Yes!"

"As you know, we'll be taken to the arena by AI. Are you all ready?!!"

"Yes!!"

Everyone, including Non-players were excited, getting to watch a dual between players was an unforgettable entertainment.

'AI?' Michael was confused.

The Governor took out a yellow Card. "This is the Custom Card, It'll take us to the Arena." seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Yes!!"

"Can't wait!"

Amidst the excited roars, he tore the card.

The next moment, everyone vanished from the Hotel.

_______

[Bermuda Island.]

"Head, the family elders have arrived." A man in a black Military uniform, and a sword hanging on his waist reported.

"What about My Son? Has he succeeded inviting The Conquerors?"

"The young Master said Supreme is his close friend, But we Haven't gotten any message from him." The man said.

The head relaxed on his seat. "The Gateway will open in two days time, and the energy reading mark it as a B-Rank Gate."

"Head, what if we invite more people?" The man suggested.

"That's a good idea, But the resources in the gate isn't infinite, if we invite more people. We won't gain anything from the gateway..."

The man nodded.

"The three elders are all Gold medal holders, we can take care of a B-Rank Gate by ourselves."

"Yes, head."

"Head."

The two turned to the three old Men in black mage robe, who entered the makeshift tent.

"Welcome elders--"

"--Head, I think it's wise to see what is happening outside." The Man at the middle said with a slight frown.

The head was confused, but still stood up and walked out of the tent.

"What is this?!!" His eyes widened in horror.

Above the black eerie looking gate, the sky was pure red, even though it's still afternoon.

All the Agra family's guards were on guard, pointing their guns at the gateway.

"Head, What do you think is inside the gateway?" The elder asked, stopping beside the head.

"It's only two days this gateway appeared, and it's already this big. If we haven't bought this Island and placed some people here, we won't have known it's here... All I know is, this B-Rank gateway might have a very powerful Creature inside."

"Should we send some people again?" Another elder asked.

"The first group that entered returned alive, but the second and third groups haven't returned till now, it's highly lightly they are all dead... So we can't send anyone in till we know if Supreme is coming or not."

"I don't think Supreme is coming?" The third elder said.

"He will, bring me my phone. I need to inform my Son about this." He stared at the red sky above the gate.

"Yes, Head." The man with the sword, nodded and walked back inside the tent.

Michael and the total of 134 people appeared in a huge Arena, calling it huge was an understatement.

Michael looked at the Arena with a stunned expression.

'This is bigger than three football stadiums combined.' He thought.

"I welcome everyone back to my Arena!!" The Governor's voice boom all over the place.

"Wow!"

"This place is huge!"

"Yes."

"I'll check up on my Members." Michael stood up.

"Ok, General Michael." Commander Wang said with a slight smile.

Michael nodded at them, and walked towards his group.

The Governor Continued:

"Today Competition's rule and rewards will be different from the last competitions."

"A new rule?"

"Rewards? There is a "S" on the reward!"

"I can't believe this."

"It's understandable, this competition is held by not one but four Powerhouses."

"I thought you forgot us." Tyson said to Michael, as he sat beside him.

"Are you participating in this competition?" Michael asked.

"Nope, I don't need any of their rewards." Tyson said.

"I will participate, if the rewards are meaningful." Tyson added with a smirk.

Michael shoot his head, utterly perplexed by Tyson's word.

"These are the rules, and Rewards!"
