Chapter 245: Seed Left
The mood of that tournament changed completely. Everyone in the stands went pale. If the emperors actually fought for real... the whole stadium — maybe even the entire capital — would be reduced to rubble. They’d have to run for their lives in total panic.
*Buzz*
The array that formed the defensive barrier around the martial stage buzzed. In the VIP room, Alexandra used a command artifact and deactivated it.
"You! How dare you do that without a vote!", Camille roared at Alexandra. Her voice echoed like thunder. Everyone in the arena trembled from head to toe.
She looked possessed, like a demon had taken over, her glowing red eyes filled with frenzy. But before she could strike, Nikolai reached out and grabbed her shoulder.
She snorted and turned away. She knew there was no point attacking Alexandra. The two of them needed to focus on protecting Darian together. Immediately, they sent mental messages to their top military officers: they were to protect the young people and run once it all kicked off.
"There’s no reason to argue or vote on anything. This was supposed to be a friendly tournament between young people, but Darian clearly has malicious intent. He almost killed Vanh once — if it weren’t for his Supreme Artifact, he’d be dead already," Alexandra said, her voice dry and loud.
"Everyone, arrest him. His crimes will be judged... WHAT?!"
She stopped mid-sentence as she felt a subtle fluctuation surrounding her. But it was already too late, and the space around her closed like she was trapped inside a glass box. Alexandra turned furiously toward a corner of the VIP room.
Irana’s mother was staring at her without emotion — only her eyes shimmered with a subtle golden glow.
"Tayluar! Are you seriously going to interfere with our planet?"
"Interfere with your planet?", Irana’s mother snorted calmly. "I’m just looking after Darian and making sure justice is served according to your tournament’s rules."
