How could such a duel beco public viewing? Yet he remained captivated, enjoying each movent of the students in the arena. Though they were only low-level students, their movents were beautiful and deadly.
Nita was just about to explain sothing about the show on the screen when her tablet vibrated softly, displaying an incoming ssage. Her fingers moved quickly, swiping across the screen to read the ssage. Her eyebrows raised slightly, her eyes fixed on the text for a few seconds until she gave a small nod, understanding its content.
"Brother," said Nita, her voice calm but with a serious undertone.
"The top alliances have already heard about our internal eting. They are now on their way here. It seems they want to ask directly about future plans and developnts."
Lein, still sitting relaxed on the sofa while watching the duel on the TV screen, rely gave a small nod, undisturbed. His eyes remained focused on the movents of the academy students fighting in the arena, observing their techniques with calm interest.
At the mont, he was at the King level—three tiers above tier-3, the highest rank for humans now. The threat from other alliances seed trivial to him, almost like a passing breeze.
"Let them be," he replied lightly, his voice barely perturbed. "Let them co and do whatever they want."
Nita nodded slightly, her face serious as she listened to her brother's instructions.
"Also, make sure the security of the city residents is maintained," Lein added, without taking his gaze off the screen.
Nita quickly reached for her tablet again, typing swiftly and efficiently, relaying Lein's orders to those in charge of the island's security.
Once the ssage was sent, Nita folded her hands, leaning back on the sofa, and watched the TV screen alongside Lein.
The two sat side by side in comfortable silence, enjoying the duel on screen. Ti passed, and they remained there, absorbed in the montary peace, waiting for eleven o'clock to arrive.

Teleportation Hub
The previously quiet Teleportation Hub was now busy again, flooded with representatives from various alliances. The silence that had once hung in the air after the foreign creature attacks was now replaced by the bustle of humans and an energy that seed to fill the atmosphere.
Creatures from other realms still occasionally erged through the portals, but their intensity had greatly decreased. Each appearance was nothing more than a minor disturbance, imdiately obliterated by the Lightning Towers and the advanced defense systems surrounding the island.
At one of the larger portals, a handso young man appeared, dressed in a suit that was both stylish and comfortable. Following him, an old man with a long beard erged, wearing a white robe that trailed down to the floor. They were imdiately followed by several n in black uniforms, moving with disciplined precision as bodyguards flanking them.
"Ah… finally," William murmured as he took a deep breath, his eyes sweeping over the surroundings with an undisguised sense of awe.
This was William's first ti setting foot on Lein Island. Until now, the island had only existed in his mind through images on social dia and television. The reality before him now felt far more impressive.
The old man beside him, also gazing around with an expression of amazent, took a deep breath.
"This island… it's so different every ti I see it. Even after so many visits, I'm still fascinated," he said with a tone of admiration mixed with awe.
His gaze was fixed on the towering buildings that seed to challenge the sky.
William smiled at the old man's murmurs.
"Yes… it's as if he possesses boundless wealth. Just seeing that tall tower sends shivers down my spine," he replied, his voice low but filled with the sa sense of admiration.
The two stood for a mont, absorbing the lively atmosphere around them. The crowd continued to grow, and William noticed a few reporters running towards them with caras and microphones at the ready. From afar, enthusiastic voices began to call out.
"Excuse , excuse ! Mr. William from the Arican Alliance, may we have a mont of your ti?"
"Mr. William, you've finally arrived! Do you have ti for an interview?"
The reporters' calls filled the air, but William and the old man beside him remained standing, unfazed. The bodyguards quickly moved, forming a semicircle, creating a barrier between their employer and the crowd.
"Stop… maintain a two-ter distance," ordered the head of the bodyguards, extending his arm as a sign of the boundary to be respected.
The reporters complied, stepping back slightly but staying close, preparing their equipnt. Once everything was ready, a reporter quickly threw out the first question.
"What's the purpose of your visit this ti, Mr. William? Are you here in response to an invitation from the World Market Trade Alliance?"
William responded with a broad smile, adjusting his tone to sound friendly and open. "No, actually," he replied with a smile, "but as a fellow human, of course, I wanted to visit and et my good friend, Young Master Lein."
William restrained himself from showing too serious an expression. He knew well that in front of reporters, a smile and openness were the best tools for maintaining his image.
"Mr. William, where will you and your party be staying while you're here?" another reporter quickly asked.
"Mr. William, in your opinion, how long will these foreign creature attacks continue?" another chid in.
With a consistent smile, William responded to each question with calm and a positive tone. His words were full of optimism, his answers sounding vague yet filled with humanity.
On the other side of the Teleportation Hub, representatives from various other alliances faced a similar situation. They arrived with bodyguards, trusted assistants, and several security staff stationed closely around them.
Just like the group from the Arican Alliance, the reporters imdiately approached, carrying their "combat gear"—caras and ready-to-use microphones—all competing to capture the mont and grab the hottest news for their broadcasts.
The World Market Trade Alliance, led by Lein, had now truly beco the center of attention for all humankind.
