Chapter 45: Getting Back
Here, Yuka and her two companions had just walked back to the team competition stage, ready to play another match.
Blackvest quickly stopped them, saying, "The boss wants to see you upstairs."
The three exchanged glances.
Yuka waved at Snakehead, who was still waiting in the crowd, signaling that they were leaving. Snakehead took a couple of steps forward, watching as Yuka and her friends followed Blackvest upstairs.
Unlike the tense and bloody atmosphere on the fifth floor, the sixth floor was like a lavish palace, filled with opulence. Entering through the grand doors, the hallway was lined with glittering gold decorations, dazzling to the eye. Continuing forward, they arrived at a splendidly decorated reception room.
The potbellied man swiveled his diamond-studded chair from facing away to facing them and said, "Ah, such youthful heroes."
He had initially thought these young people, full of pride, wouldn’t easily follow his instructions. He planned to have them endure a month in the Grand Coliseum before inviting them up. But after witnessing their performance, the boss found them unexpectedly composed, so he extended the invitation earlier.
Yuka smiled and replied, "So gold to see you, sir."
Kenji stood silently on the other side of the man’s chair. The potbellied man glanced at Kenji and then addressed the three of them, "This is a standout from the solo competition. It seems you know each other. What are your names?"
Yuka remained silent for two seconds and didn’t respond. But the man didn’t mind, continuing, "It’s fine if you don’t want to say. We’re not concerned about that. Rest assured, I’m a person who dislikes trouble. Once I’ve chosen you, I won’t change my mind. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to Capital Octoxis to arrange new identities for you. Whatever you’ve done before, whether it’s murder or arson, will be erased. No one in the world will know about your past deeds, and you won’t have to fear the Alliance Army."
Yuka quietly observed Kenji’s expression, which had turned sullen. She thought to herself, being able to go to Capital Octoxis and arrange new identities, this guy must have significant connections.
