Chapter 800 - Pressure (2/2)
However, this was only the start, and they had yet to even start the real provocation, but Black Star had already retaliated. It was clear that this newcomer was not planning to follow their plan.
It’s probably because Heber shared his experience with him…
In their eyes, it looked like Han Xiao knew about their tradition, and Heber, who also left a dark history there, was from the Shattered Star Ring. Therefore, it was most likely that Black Star knew about this from him and did not want to let their plan succeed by speaking in this manner.
“Not going to happen…”
They secretly exchanged looks and made a plan.
“Hehe.” The person who spoke first said coldly, “Black Star, I don’t think you’ve realized what your position is.”
“Oh? Mr. Star Slasher, what do you mean?” Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
Viru, a Beyond Grade A Pugilist of the War Soldier Branch. Among his nicknames were ‘Star Slasher’ and ‘Fixed Star Splitter’. He came from the Primeval Star River, now an ally of the dynasty, and was operating tens of thousands of galactical Pugilist dojos in the Central Galaxy.
“This is the center of the universe, the Central Galaxy. Do you think this is the Shattered Star Ring that only has five Beyond Grade As? How dare you speak to us that manner…”
Boom!
Before he finished his sentence, Viru suddenly released his energy, which slashed the villa in two. The thick aura and his cold stare pressed onto Han Xiao. As if he was furious, he said word by word, “A newbie who has just entered the Beyond Grade A stage, who gave you the right to be this arrogant in front of us‽”
“Tsk.” Expressionless, Clotti waved his hands and told the patrols who rushed there not to get close. Viru restrained his energy and did not let it spread out. Clotti did not stop Viru’s action.
Other than the Beyond Grade A close to the Youngsters Faction who was shaking his head and did not speak, the others all had unfriendly expressions on their faces and stared at Han Xiao, pressuring him.
Even if Heber had told him the rules earlier, they did not believe that Black Star would not be afraid of offending all of them at once.
If Black Star continued to not step back, they did not mind teaching him a lesson. As for if that would anger Black Star… they all had Beyond Grade A organizations, so it did not matter.
The few of them secretly looked at Han Xiao’s expression, hoping to find a tint of panic or fear on his face.
The sharp and aggressive aura was like a knife in Han Xiao’s face. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly chuckled. “Alright, let’s make things easier. We’re all Beyond Grade As. If we have any conflicts, we can settle it by fighting.”
Then, before everyone could respond, Han Xiao pointed at Viru. “You and I will fight, how about that?”
The others were surprised and even more interested.
This newcomer is deliberately issuing a challenge? How confident. Doesn’t he know we’re all seniors who’ve fought a very long time for the dynasty?
They initially wanted to bring sparring up to provoke Black Star into fighting, but they did not expect this guy to propose it first.
“Okay.” Viru’s expression looked irritated.
He had already showcased his energy, yet Black Star still wanted to challenge him. Did Black Star think that he had a chance of winning?
Viru would not allow his position to be threatened.
Han Xiao was calm. He had already guessed that only strength would earn him respect in the Beyond Grade A allies circle, so he had mentally prepared to fight long ago.
In order to befriend Beyond Grade As, he first had to show strength worth befriending.
This time, Clotti spoke slowly.
“Go fight outside the Psionic Seal Ring. Don’t fight near the mother planet.”
…
“Your Excellency, Black Star’s meeting with the National Pillars was not pleasant. He challenged His Excellency Star Slasher to a spar. Clotti and the other National Pillar have gone along as well.”
Hearing the report from the internal communicator, Urranrell said, “Clotti will take care of this. You guys don’t have to worry about it.”
“Understood.”
“Hmm… go and notify Black Star’s friends.”
Then, Urranrell hung up the communicator and shook her head.
She did not like the tradition of bullying the newcomer between the Beyond Grade A allies, but she also did not want to force these Beyond Grade As to do anything unless absolutely necessary.
However, the private relationship between the dynasty’s allies being bad might not be a bad thing. It would not affect their partnerships with the dynasty, and profit was the priority.
…
“What? He’s fighting with those allies?”
After hearing what the emissary came to their doorsteps to say, Hila and the various guards’ expressions changed drastically.
This time, Aesop spoke and comforted them. “Don’t worry, it’s just a test of strength between Beyond Grade As. Sparring is very normal. I’ve seen them do it before.”
Sadly, not many people took what he said in.
“Let’s go take a look.” Ames did not say much and stepped out of the door.
