Chapter 910Chapter 910 Drawing Lots
“You are but a Senior Grandmaster, and you dared to sign up for the competition? I’m not sure if you’re
bold or just…” Anne shook her head at Jared before turning to a well-built man behind her. “Andrew, if
you happen to be matched up with Jared, remember to go easy on him because I don’t want to see him
get hurt. After all, I’m sure Mr. Lawson would like to maintain a friendly relationship with Chanaea.”
“Don’t worry, Princess Anne. If he’s unfortunate enough to have me as his opponent, I promise I won’t
even lay a finger on him,” sneered Andrew.
“Watch your mouth!” Anne warned the man sternly.
Even though Andrew decided to keep his mouth shut after that, there was still contempt in his eyes
because he was convinced that Jared, a man much shorter than him, was anything but a worthy
challenger.
Jared did not mind the two’s conversation, though, for he was confident in himself and believed that
action spoke louder than words.
Suddenly, Jared found himself shrouded in someone’s spiritual sense, so he trailed the energy and
noticed a man in a “wafuku” not far away.
The man had a long sword in his hand and was staring intently at Jared.
“Mr. Chance, that’s the Sword Saint of Jetroina, Ichiro Watanabe,” introduced Theodore to Jared.
After sizing Jared up, Ichiro withdrew his spiritual sense and looked away indifferently. He instantly lost
interest in Jared because he sensed that the man’s power was only that of a Senior Grandmaster.
“Andrew, do you think you can win if your opponent is Ichiro?” inquired Anne curiously.“Princess Anne, Ichiro has nothing but his agility and sword skills. There’s no way he could best me
since I’m impenetrable,” answered Andrew proudly.
“Good!” In response, Anne nodded in satisfaction.
Before long, a host dressed in a traditional martial arts outfit and holding a microphone stepped into the
arena.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the triennial international competition! The purpose of this event is
to provide fighters from all over the world an opportunity to prove their mettle. However, we’d like to
avoid any injuries if possible. In addition to that, at the suggestion of the Jetroinian delegates, we’ve
added a team event to the competition!”
The host then smiled brightly at the crowd before continuing, “The rules of the team event are very
simple. We’ll send the participating teams to an island, where Luminous Pearl will be hidden, and the
first team to retrieve the gemstone will be the winner. It doesn’t matter how you get the pearl because
there are no restrictions. All you have to do is be the one to return with the pearl, and you’ll be the
victor. Be that as it may, friendship should be valued above all else. Those who deliberately harm or kill
others will be dealt with a penalty.”
Everybody at the scene was shocked after listening to the host, for even though he made it clear that
nobody was allowed to harm another, the nature of the team event seemed to encourage it otherwise.
The fact that it was Jetroina who suggested such an event made it obvious that the country intended
for Ichiro and his team to exterminate the other teams.“You will draw lots here and find out who your opponents are!” announced the host before inviting the
teams to the stage.
When Jared and Andrew both walked side by side, the crowd immediately snickered because of how
short the former seemed beside the latter.
“So that’s Jared, huh? He looks pretty average to me.”
“Why would the Warriors Alliance and the Deragons give a da*n about an average joe like him?”
“He’s probably only as strong as a Senior Grandmaster, so what makes him think he has a chance at
winning?”
