Chapter 42: Friendly Battle(5)

As the crowd heard this, they became an uproar. They started placing bets on Desmond and Gibson.

After Desmond entered the arena, Elizabeth explained the same rules and also did the same to their body. After she confirmed they healthy and didn't find any spell controlled their mind, Elizabeth officially started the match.

Without further ado, Gibson immediately chanted a spell, a large rock formed from the earth's lump around him. The stone was shaped like a box and slowly headed towards Desmond.

Gibson also chants another spell, made all parts of his body covered with stones. The stone forms a knight's armor that protect him from any attack.

Made sure all his preparations were finished. Finally, Gibson felt relieved. Then he turned to Desmond only to saw Desmond had disappeared.

His heart began to panic; Gibson looked at the surrounding area but still did not find Desmond. Blinked his eyes, he saw a person shadow in front of him, and then his vision suddenly darkened.

* crash * Gibson's body bounced and hit the arena barrier. The spectators who saw this were shocked, they only blinked once, but the match was over.

Because Gibson's fat body was flung into the ring, a lot of dust was created from his stone's armor. Waited a few moments, then the audience saw Gibson's in horrible condition. He was unconscious with his head bled; several bends of blow marks were on his face and stomach.

This time the audience was horrified and shivered, unable to say anything. Silence filled in the room. Then they shifted their focus to the middle arena. They saw Desmond was stood there while faced the glass room.

In the glass room, the situation was not much different, Elizabeth had fallen, and her expression showed that she had just seen something terrified. Looked at Desmond's gaze at her, her fear increased. But this was only for a moment, considered that she still had work to do.

The audience then saw Elizabeth stood but with shaken legs. "The winner is… Master Desmond will marry Miss Diana. " Unable to stand the pressure Desmond was emitted, Elizabeth quickly squeezed the crystal in her hand.

The guards quickly grabbed Gibson and checked the situation, they stared at Desmond with unpleasant eyes because he had made their work increased, but some seemed to have started to respect Desmond after seeing his strength.

After a few minutes, the room and arena returned to normal, and the audience rushed out. The audience only consisted of kids the same age. Only Clementine was an adult in this room.

Seeing this, Desmond became confused. He titled his head and walked over to Alice and Clementine. "Did I do something wrong?" He saw Alice shaking her head while Clementine watched in disbelief.

"Don't you notice?"

Shaken his head, Desmond gave Clementine a strange look. "Maybe I went too far?" Thought about his behavior, he nodded to himself.

"It's not just an exaggeration! You're spectacular! How can a child your age have such strength… "

Clementine asked Desmond several absurd questions for 10 minutes before he finally changed the subject." Let's put that aside. What about the deal? "

Alice, who heard this became nervous. She tugged at Desmond's shirt and whispered something in his ear. "Do you want to marry Diana?"

Don't want to misunderstand, Desmond to clear his throat and return Alice's whisper. " That's not it. I just want him to owe me a request. For this request, maybe I'll ask for some things that have been impossible for our family to get. "

Heard this, Alice felt relieved. She then moved behind Desmond, no longer prevented her from talking to Clementine. Clementine, who saw this, only felt amused by the relationship between these siblings. " Of course I remember it, then let's go to the main hall."

"Looks like the party will end soon." Desmond wanted to ask why Clementine didn't visit her daughter at the treatment center. But he stopped her intentions after saw Clementine's expression that she didn't care for her daughter at all.

Following Clementine's words, they then headed towards the exit and into the main hall.

After Desmond's departure, Matson, who saw this, felt jealous, envious, and anger toward him. I see. It seems that I am not the only genius of this generation. Then he secretly visits the medical center.

In one room, this roam was not too big but filled with circular tables and chairs. Like a meeting room, several people were already seated in each chair, and two chairs were still empty. There were five people in total, and that included Edward.

One of the people who looks like the prime minister stands up to start the talks. " Today, we will discuss the tournament of storms, also the recent attack by the Imperial Empire assassin.

"The first thing we discussed first was the attack from the Imperial Empire." The prime minister then turned to face Edward, he saw Edward nod, and he sits back down.

After the Prime Minister sat down, a person sat in an armored suit seemed to be the second prime minister stood up. "Even though we have already eradicated the assassins but the Imperial Empire doesn't seem like a deterrent. During those six years, they even continued to send out several assassins.

"For that matter, we have divided the tasks to Master Witch Noel, who is currently serving on the border between the Imperial Empire and the North Kingdom." After he finished speaking, he was silent, waited for the king's reply.

Edward's position was in the corner of the middle table. His position was higher than the others; a curtain also covered his face. Heard the situation of the kingdom this year, he became a little annoyed. " Do you know the motive of the imperial empire? "

"From the results of the investigation, this attack was aimed at Master Witch Leona. We have information that she was carrying something of value that belongs to the Imperial Empire's minister or king right now. "

My teacher person thought Edward. "I see, ignore that one. We have to respect my teacher. He is the one who brought the witch master to strengthen our kingdom. Continue to the second topic."

…

After a few hours of discussed the tournament topic, the city manager and others finally finished.

In the hall, Edward reappears. "Thank you to all the guests who have come, today I will announce the party is over, please wait for the next invitation. "

After they finished said that, they all bowed to Edward's departure, which the Bastian family had previously done.

Desmond and Alice also wanted to rush out of the hall; they were very tired of chat with the guests. Alice was always approached by many boys, while several young ladies continually glanced at Desmond.
