Gacha Sovereign

Chapter 704 - Picking a Fight with Alex? Really?

"Young Master Eric. How about we have a round on the stage? I have wanted to see the genius from the Fire God Clan that has been shadowed by their first young master. Or everything is simply a lie?"

The taunt resounded across the hall as everyone looked at Eric.

"Young Master." The two 8-Star Martial Saint Elders were looking at him.

"Fighting against him is my fault. However, seeing that Blackwade Clan is indeed siding with Spirit Nest, we will need to show our prowess as our reputation has taken a huge hit not long ago. If I don't take this fight, our clan might even start declining as soon as the information spread. To think I have been checkmated with a single misstep. I have miscalculated the relationship between Spirit Nest and Blackwade Clan." Eric narrowed his eyes and released his killing intent.

"If Young Master go to the stage, there is a possibility—"

Before the elder finished, Eric shook his head and said. "No. Song Jiaoren won't be able to kill me in this fight. Besides, I have a treasure from my father… I mean, the Patriarch. Rather than getting bullied on the stage, it's better to strike back. After all, the Blackwade Clan would suffer a big hit if he lost against me.

"Not only does he look like he is bullying me, but he is also losing miserably. That's why I will accept this fight. You two should watch out against Blackwade Clan's elders. Make sure they won't come to the stage later."

The elders looked at each other and nodded. "We understand."

Eric smirked evilly. "If I manage to cripple Blackwade Clan's status, I can surely break the alliance between Blackwade Clan and Spirit Nest. This way, the Ancient Blue Family would have more assurance to ally with the Fire God Clan and destroy the Spirit Nest with us."

Song Jiaoren and Eric Hinga. Both were having their own intention in fighting, and once they lost, they and their influences would surely be in trouble. Who would win? Everyone wanted to see it as well.

Eric stood up and glanced at Song Jiaoren. "Since Young Master Song Jiaoren wants to guide me, how can I not accept?"

The audiences gulped down as they never expected Eric to accept the duel. They looked at Eric, who flew toward the stage and looked at Elizabeth.

"I would love to fight Young Master Song Jiaoren, but I am afraid there might be someone pulling some tricks on me, I wonder what should I do, Princess?"

Elizabeth narrowed her eyes and glanced at Alex. His Pure Fire was already spread together with his picture, so she knew what Eric meant.

"As Young Master Eric Hinga said, I would like to request you to not release your Pure Fire, so the fight could proceed without any problem. What do you think, Mister Alexander Sirius?" Elizabeth asked politely.

"I won't do anything." Alex shrugged.

"Then, with mister Alexander's assurance, the fight can be held. I hope I don't need to use my hands because of interference." Elizabeth put another warning to Alex.

Alex didn't care and yawned, watching Song Jiaoren and Eric Hinga enter the stage.

At the same time, Evelyn also walked toward Alex with her senior brother and senior sister.

"Big brother Alex." Evelyn thought this was a nice time to visit Alex, considering there was no more Song Jiaoren.

"Oh, Evelyn." Alex thought this was also a nice time to have a conversation with her since he needed to visit Astennu later. "How are you?"

"Hehe… I am closing in with Big Brother Alex. Only three stars more." Evelyn grinned as she flaunted her 5-Star Martial Monarch strength.

"It seems you are confident in challenging me," Alex teased her with a smile.

"I am confident." Evelyn puffed her chest before she added. "In fighting against Big Brother Alex for twenty rounds."

Everyone widened their eyes. Alex was only an 8-Star Martial Monarch while Evelyn was a 5-Star Martial Monarch. The three stars difference could be said to be huge but also not. Evelyn was a genius at a different level that could defeat 6-Star Martial Monarch with ease due to her high-level swordsmanship and Fire Element. That was why she should be able to handle 8-Star Martial Monarch for a few hundred rounds. Yet, she said she was confident to fight Alex for a short twenty rounds?

Alex ignored their shock and smiled. "Oh. To think Evelyn can talk like this. Should we have a match?"

"Big brother wants to bully Evelyn?" Evelyn pouted. "I was saying that only if you didn't improve like crazy. But knowing big brother Alex, I am sure you have evolved to something absurd. I am afraid I won't be able to handle ten rounds."

Alex patted her head and laughed. "Haha… I am not a monster like what you described. You should be more confident in yourself."

Evelyn smiled. "Hehe…"

Looking at how intimate Alex and Evelyn was, the senior brother was filled with jealousy. He had been following Evelyn and treating her well. He was also a famous person in the sect, and many women wanted to be his. Only Evelyn was different. She had strength, talent, and beauty. She was a godsend for him. That was why he couldn't contain this feeling anymore.

Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and walked forward before trying to hug Evelyn.

"It seems you have taken care of my Evelyn this whole time. I, her boyfriend, shall thank you for your effort." He smirked.

However, before his hands reached Evelyn, the latter already disappeared, so he fell down to the ground.

"Lecher. Who is my boyfriend? You are not qualified." Evelyn snorted.

"You—!"

Alex sighed inwardly as he felt it was coming.

"The eighth big influence? Don't joke with me. Do you think I believe there is such a thing? You only fight against the Fire God Clan to gather attention. Look at the situation of the continent, and everyone will know that Spirit Nest is always hiding. You must be afraid of the Fire God Clan!" He shouted directly at Alex.

On the other hand, Alex didn't say anything and simply looked at Evelyn with a disappointed expression. "Seriously, him? Let me guess his identity. He is the son of an elder or something?"

"Ye-yeah." Evelyn nodded furiously as if she was scared. She had seen this type of expression on Alex's face before. Alex was really pissed by this direct confrontation.

"A son of an elder, but why is he retarded?" Alex facepalmed. "First of all, he can't even study the situation properly. Then he is asking me to kill him by saying this directly to my face. Lastly, he seems to be not afraid that I will kill him."

"Mhm… Mister Alexander, how about we call this a day? I will apologize on his behalf." On the other hand, the woman behind Evelyn seemed to notice something.

"What? Why are you scared? I am not like you. This is how big I love Evelyn."

"Scared? First of all, are you sure you can represent the entire Drunken Pavilion? If you can't even speak for them, you should shut up and know your place." Alex sighed. "How big is your love? Then are you telling me that fighting another influence while you can't even stand up for your own influence would do you any good? I can only see a retarded love."

"What did you say?!" He grabbed Alex's collar in anger.

"Let me guess again. He has so many pursuers that want to be his women, but he said he gives up on all of them just to pursue you. Hence, you shall respond to him by becoming his woman?" Alex glanced at Evelyn.

"How can big brother know?"

"I learned a lot from 'Literature' books." Alex shrugged. "Well, you will have a hard life if you are with him. Who knows when you will be abandoned if he finds another one."

"That's why I am rejecting him this whole time. He is a pest." She pouted.

"Say…" Alex looked at Evelyn. "If I kill him here, would Elder Manness pursue me?"

"Master won't," Evelyn answered without hesitation.

"Junior Sister… Don't pour more oil." The Senior Sister sighed. "I am Angela, Master Manness's first disciple. I would like to apologize for this incident. I will be sure to educate him after this. No matter what happens, I am sure killing is not a good solution, since his father will surely chase you. He is still a 6-Star Martial Saint after all…"

"It's big brother's choice." Evelyn shrugged. "I am sure that Master might kill that elder as well… But he can also let you finish that Elder by yourself. I am sure big brother won't have a hard time against 6-Star Martial Saint, right?"

"You know me well." Alex smiled as he knew Leoz could fight against that 6-Star Martial Saint since he had reached 3-Star Martial Saint. Although there was still a gap of three stars, everything would be solved by his EXP Cards, so he wasn't worried about it.

It seemed the system also ran out of patience by sending him a notification.

[Mission: Kill this idiotic person

Reward: 5 Premium Tickets

Description: Kill this person and let your presence is known, especially to the Ancient Blue Family.]

'Oi! How can the reward be so big when I only need to kill a single 10-Star Martial Monarch?' Alex asked.

[I didn't give you a mission after all the events under the sea, so this is the freebie I can give you. Besides, I am sure you understand the mission, right?]

'Of course. If Evelyn can cooperate with me, I can make it look like the Drunken Pavilion is siding with me. This way, the battle would be three versus two on the surface alone, scaring the Ancient Blue Family. In fact, they might immediately back away from the alliance. After losing their only ally, Fire God Clan would start declining, and we will then strike at them.'

[Fufu… I am ready to give you more and more missions, Host. Of course, this is the only exception. The rest of the mission will be hard for you to achieve.]

'I am looking forward to it. Just make sure the reward is worth it.'

[Don't worry.]

Alex thought for a moment and sighed. "Since you have challenged me, I think it's time to act."

Evelyn opened her mouth in astonishment. "It seems I lost my bet against Master."

"Lost your bet?"

"Yeah. I am betting whether someone from Drunken Pavilion will be killed in this event or not." Evelyn nodded. "It seems Master already knew this would happen."

"What did you say? Do you think I will lose?" The senior brother glared at Evelyn. "Let's bet as well. If I win, you are going to be my woman and will do anything I order you for!"

Evelyn looked at him coldly. "I won't be able to win anything in this bet since you will die. Though I still think it's a good bet, so I will take this ridiculous bet."

"I will fight you after this!" He became angrier and shouted to Alex before walking away.

Alex sighed and looked at Evelyn. "Why did you even accept that bet?"

"Ehm… I think you are not addressing the current problem?" Angela scratched her cheek. She also had Manness's instruction not to do anything, but she still wished nothing would happen. Unfortunately, it seemed this conflict was inevitable.

"It's fine, Senior Sister. There won't be anything wrong with this fight. Besides, Master also wants to kill that Elder, considering he is amassing money illegally and taking away our profit. I think Master will use this chance to eliminate him." Evelyn assured Angela.

"I know that, but…" Angela only wanted to trade and gathered more money for Drunken Pavilion, but everything seemed to revolve around fighting. She had been faint-hearted about this, and it was also the reason why Manness felt he couldn't let her be his successor.

"Senior Sister… You are kind, but most of the time, people will only take advantage of your kindness. If you don't do it, I will do it." Evelyn sighed.

Alex was watching these two happily.
