Chapter 701: How To Hijack A Tournament [Part 2]



The sudden twist caught everyone by surprise.

The Dragon and Phoenix Tournament fell into complete disarray the moment Zion Leventis hijacked the show.

He even added that the Champion of the Tournament could also choose to become a Battalion Commander of the Central Government regardless of their affiliations.

His statement nearly made Tristan join hands with Aaron to beat the crap out of Zion. In his point of view, the brat was speaking absolute nonsense!

Little did he know that the young man had already discussed this matter with the Grand Marshal of the Central Government beforehand.

"If we host the Dragon and Phoenix Tournament, we will be able to poach the promising talents that are not affiliated with any Factions or Families and make them become the pillars of humanity.

"This is a good time to recruit some new blood for the army, which will also increase its strength drastically. I think it's a good idea. What do you think, Sir Lawrence?"

Back then, the Grand Marshal thought that Zion was just joking, but after laying out his proposal in a proper manner, Lawrence understood that they could make it happen.

The Central Government had a lot of top-tier training grounds, where their elites did their training.

It wouldn't be a problem to send thousands of Wanderers to that place to fight a survival battle.

They always did drills from time to time to check the quality of their forces, after which they rewarded those who managed to survive until the end.

The more Lawrence thought about this idea, the more appealing Thirteen's proposal was.

The best thing was that all the prizes would come from Zion himself!

However, after the teenage boy said that the grand prize was two scales from the Majin King, even Lawrence was tempted to join the competition just to get those prizes.

Fortunately, Thirteen bribed him with a Majin King Scale, making Lawrence wholeheartedly agree to this plan.

He even secretly traveled to Glory City in order to support Zion in his endeavors.

'Still, he is way too bold,' Lawrence thought as his helicopter finally arrived above the Colosseum grounds.

He knew that after Thirteen dropped a bomb right in front of Aaron's face, the Monarch would no longer be able to hold back himself any longer.

Because of this, Lawrence jumped down from the Helicopter and landed beside his son, who was protecting the teenage boy behind him.

"Aaron, it seems that you've gone overboard this time," Lawrence said. "For you to do that to my precious General, I guess you think your bones have become harder now huh?"

"Lawrence, what is the meaning of this?" Aaron glared. "This tournament is hosted by the Ashford Clan. Your Central Government had no right to interfere."

"Who said that we are interfering?" Lawrence asked. "We just decided to hold a tournament of our own. But you're right. It can't be called the Dragon and Phoenix Tournament either. Zion, please think of a new name for the Tournament.

"I intend to host this event once every three years. So, we will make it an official thing. Make sure to come up with a good name."

Thirteen smiled faintly because the Grand Marshal was quick on the uptake.

"Then, let's just call it League of Myths and Legends," Thirteen replied.

"League of Myths and Legends." Lawrence smiled. "I like the sound of that."

Michael and Hans, who were also right by the teenage boy's side, could only bitterly smile, sensing that Zion had zero intention of stopping his plan of taking over the tournament.

While the two were feeling anxious about the boy's boldness, the Grand Marshal faced everyone in the arena with a smile.

"Since it will be a little late today, and you guys will need to travel, I hereby declare that the start of the League of Myths and Legends will be held in Justice City tomorrow," Lawrence declared. "Those who have registered in this tournament are eligible to participate in it. "However, there is a condition. Anyone who joins the Dragon and Phoenix Tournament will be banned from entering the League of Myths and Legends. Feel free to choose which tournament you want to join.

"However, I will tell you this-the prizes you will get from our tournament will be greater than what you can get from the Ashford Clan."

Lawrence's mindset was simple.

Since they were already going to make the Ashford Clan mad at them, he decided to make them go mad all the way.

As expected, Aaron was no longer able to hold back his anger and released his powerful aura, making it spread far and wide.

Lawrence, who was also a hot-tempered person by nature, didn't even give a warning and lunged at Aaron with the intention of fighting him until he beat the crap out of him.

The Wanderers in the Arena immediately backed away as the booming explosions of two Monarchs fighting sent shockwaves flying in their direction.

Even the audience in the stands exited the Colosseum in fear that they might be affected by the battle between the two Monarchs.

"Let's leave," Tristan said as he grabbed Zion and took him out of the venue.

Deep inside, he couldn't help but sigh. What just happened was outside of his expectations.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Did you plan all this from the beginning?" Tristan asked in a low tone, which only the teenage boy could hear.

"The Ashford Clan was playing dirty," Thirteen replied. "Since that's the case, I'll play dirtier."

"Does my father know about this?"

"Yes."

"Did he approve?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't you tell me about it?" Tristan asked.

"I thought that the Grand Marshal would tell you about it," Thirteen replied in an innocent

tone.

Tristan clicked his tongue, but he no longer asked any questions.

This situation has truly spiraled out of control, or so he thought.

However, things were actually under control.

It was under Thirteen's control.

The booming sounds of two Monarchs fighting could be heard in the background, but it was very easy to tell that both were still holding back.

If people died from this event, things would really look bad for the Ashford Clan. So, as much

as Aaron's belly was filled with anger, he still made sure that the battle was contained only within the arena of the Colosseum.

Claude watched this scene in helplessness.

The grand event that his family had painstakingly prepared for was now in ruins.

'Zion Leventis,' Claude gritted his teeth in anger. 'You will regret this!'

He had never hated anyone in his life more than he hated the teenage boy, who acted like he

was their equal despite his young age.

What he didn't know was that Zion already knew their plan to eliminate him after the Cygni Continent invasion was over.

Since that was the case, he decided to flip the entire table to make Aaron and Claude realize that he also had the ability to turn their world upside down.
