109 Strike of An Old Serpen (1/2)
”What are you saying, father?” Leviathan asks knitting his eyebrows. ”We were never told this!” He exclaims.
Queen Uzume who is listening to the conversation of Hades and Leviathan suddenly lowers her head as she hears the name of Ares. She holds her hands tightly as if she is trying not to feel guilty.
Meanwhile, the house of Carlos and the Outlanders family collides with each other and it is Carlos that comes out on top.
-
A couple of more matches get wrapped up with every branch winning one and losing one. Finally, it's only Faust and gluttony remain with one win for each of them, the house that wins this match will be the winner of this round.
And considering that gluttony is second place in the first round if they win against Faust in this round, gluttony and Faust's squad will be tied.
And the tiebreaker is the decision that the house which is in better rank before this purge is to be the winner. And everyone knows that gluttony always has a better ranking compared to Tsumugi's house, which is always at the last place of the leaderboards.
”Let us welcome Faust from the house of Devils! And on the other side, the well known, the one that is well known for his Godspeed, from the house of Gluttony, let's all welcome GARUDA!” The host announces, creating a lot of hype.
But the crowd responds with a buzz, everybody is whispering to each other appears to be confused with what they heard. Tsumugi runs up into the balcony of nobles.
”They cannot do this! He is a general class! This is not fair.” Tsumugi yells in desperation at the nobles that are sitting and viewing the unfair game without any objections.
”I agree with lady Tsumugi! Isn't this a bit too far?” Fab adds his voice.
”Ahem!” The old minister clears his throat as he gets up from his seat, with a heavy sigh as to why he has to respond and reply to this.
”In front of my mighty Lord Hades! I don't dare lie to anyone, as you all know, Garuda is still a captain class. He did not receive the general stars or have been declared officially. Hence he is still a captain class that my house possess.”
”If the Lord thinks that I have done anything unfair! I will gladly pay for it with my life.” The old serpent puts up a fantastic act in front of Hades by bowing down his head and speaking with a helpless humble old man's voice. His words entered the ears of everyone like nectar, immediately making them pity the old man.
But all the nobles knew it is his cheap play by making a general class enter the purge. Garuda is next in line to become a one-star general. He will be officially declared a general in 20 days. But the old minister wants to use the fact that he is not officially declared, hence using this loophole to benefit himself.
But no noble wants to speak up, they dislike Queen Uzume and Tsumugi, Carlos couldn't speak anything, if he does, people will think he is favouring his niece, meanwhile,Tsumugi's mom looks towards Uzume with concern.
”My lord!” Uzume turns her face around hesitatingly towards Hades with her head lowered.
”Okay! You did nothing wrong! Have your seat and let the fight begin.” Before Uzume say anything, Hades quickly finishes the matter without having to listen to Uzume.
”I have been blessed by my lord.” The old minister bows down to Hades, but the corner of his mouth curves as an evil smile surfaces on his face. He goes on to settle himself in his chair without even looking at Tsumugi
”Faust! Forfeit the match! We won already, I don't want you to risk your life, I cannot face Neith if something happened to you.* Tsumugi understands that nothing can be done now to change the matchup, so with regretful eyes, she asks Faust to forfeit the match.
”It's okay Aunty! Everything will be okay! If something bad happens, I have an option to quit.” Faust assures Tsumugi with a smile as he pats on her shoulder.
”No Faust!” Tsumugi holds his hand at his wrist! ”I'm making you forfeit the match.” She holds Faust tightly without letting him go.
”Aunty! Trust me” Faust lets go of her hand and walks forward.
