Chapter 165: Voldor (1/2)

The ranking had been established. With this, the final round was starting. As for the duels happening to determine the lower ranks, it would be organized afterward.

1. Arthur Silvera.

2. Mulan Keri.

3. Leonard Leran.

4. Emma Agard.

5. Abraham Galan.

6. Carlos Beva.

7. Lily Green.

This ranking was the initial one. Starting from the bottom, the participants would get to challenge those of a higher rank. Since it was getting late, the last round would be held tomorrow. It was also an opportunity for the participants to prepare some strategies.

”These are the keys to your room.” The staff member bowed in greeting and handed Arthur and Yurirl the keys. They had separate rooms and they had to follow the staff until they got there.

The two went on separate ways for the first time today. Despite the short time they spent together, Arthur felt like he knows Yurirl more than he did with the others. It had something to do with Yurirl's simple and straightforward character.

Arthur opened the door and entered the room. It was bigger than the last one and was almost as big as his room in the fortress. Like always, he walked straight to the bed after throwing his robes.

'These are so restricting.' Arthur unbuttoned the shirt and lied on the bed. He finally got some time alone and he listened to the quietness of the room, the boiling tea in the fireplace, and the distinct sound of running water.

'Wait, running water?' Arthur frowned and felt like he was reliving this. He shot up from his bed and looked at the bathroom door.

The door opened like last time and a man walked out. He had a masculine and hairy body with a towel covering his waist and privates. As Arthur looked at the man, the man looked back at him for a moment before a grin broke on his face.

”Junior!”

”… I should have fucking known.”

”What?” Reece tilted his head in puzzlement. However, it seems he had more urgent news to deliver. ”Si has sent me over! There's some bad news.”

”Okay, but first of all.” Arthur raised his hand in blocking. ”Don't touch me when you're in other people's bodies. Moreover, don't touch me at all. Second of all, why are you always taking baths in people's bodies?”

Reece seemed to be stunned by both matters, as he looked blankly at Arthur. It seems Reece couldn't decide on which matter was more important.

”People always feel filthy.”

”Oh,” It was an unexpectedly understandable answer. ”What is the news?”

”… One of the families is making a move.”

”What?” Arthur shot up from his seat. ”What do you mean?”

”It's the family behind the Ilios Empire, The Voldor family.”

”Do you mean their youngest prince's arrival to the Yalveran Union?” Arthur frowned. ”What about the other families?”

”No, there's nothing from the others. It seems the Ilios empire is taking action alone. Si used his ability to look into their royal palace, but something happened.”

”What do you mean by something?” Arthur frowned. ”Is Sier okay?” Reece shook his head.

”We don't know. He's unconscious right now.”

Arthur felt his body turn cold. Sier was unconscious after he had tried to look into the palace of the imperial family. Did that mean that he had overused his ability and the legacy owner is now trying to take over?

”We should go back.” Arthur was suddenly worried about his family. If even the city of Runera was threatened, a protection jade wouldn't be enough to save them.

”Calm down, junior.” Reece walked over and sat on the couch opposite Arthur with his towel still on him. ”Si has given his instructions. We don't think the Voldor family can do anything during the cup, so it must be after you leave the city of Runera.”
