A figure landed on the octagon, surprising everyone. It was Haji Tea, holding a lower-high grade spear. He then looked at the old man in the black suit and uttered.
"Mr. Mit, aren't you aware that he is the tar of Abran City?"
Mit An raised his eyebrows before replying.
"Abran ans nothing to , he violated the rules of the tournant by interfering. He must compensate for his actions by giving this panda beast. However..."
Mit stepped forward and added.
"Now, you have also killed that referee, another violation of the rules. You will be charged with murdering a governnt official."
He signaled and soone at the Star Prince realm stepped forward before dashing towards Akash with astonishing speed. Haji couldn't keep up with his speed, but he still tried to reach Akash and just as he was about to touch him
~SLICE~
A hand was seen flying in the sky, leaving a trail of blood mid-air. The tar who was trying to grab Akash got his hand cut off by so unseen weapon. Soon, a man gently descended in front of Akash. He was wielding a short sword in each hand, both radiating darkness. Riassuba Rosehip had co to defend his only king and he bought a weapon resembling Kaliya Subedar from the store, to practice and master wielding it first.
~BANG~
A loud bang was heard before three beastan ca down on the land. They were Daan Godlyn, Sacra Emilat and Sohrab Khan. The stadium's tension was imdiately raised after their arrival. The populace was shocked that soone could cut the hand of Mit An's man and was even able to kill a referee.
Mit An was pissed as he gave out orders.
"Kill them!"
Around twenty people jumped forward before suddenly, out of the audience, small knives and shurikens were thrown towards them instead. However, they quickly used their weapons and deflected it all away
~CLANG CLANG~
They then turned their attention in the direction of the audience, looking for the culprits.
~WHOOSH~
Just like shadows, silhouettes ca out of the people and stood behind Akash Tagar. Their faces were covered by black masks with black robes covering the rest. The House of Espionage, Death Gate had just arrived. As the tournant comnced, they were ordered to stay in the stadium just in case.
For the first ti, Mir An was shocked, asking himself.
"Hmm, I have a feeling he might beco a great threat to in the future"
Nevertheless, he stepped forward without a sign of worry, surprising Akash. The latter wanted to avoid facing an expert of the Star King realm as he knew his attacks would barely scratch him. Using his Star King strength and speed, Mit An instantly closed the distance before declaring.
"I'm going to kill you and everyone else in this city who dares to oppose ."
"Hahaha, is that so?"
A peal of sudden laughter reverberated throughout the stadium. An looked at the owner of this voice before squinting his eyes in realization.
"Chand Gandraf"
The mayor of Slave City had arrived at the perfect ti as he floated in mid-air, looking at Mit An.
"Mr. Mit, I know you are a mayor of a 1st tier city but that doesn't give you the right to ss around in my domain, especially against participating representatives of their cities."
Mit An smiled.
"Mayor Chand, don't be mistaken. That man broke the rules of tournants, he sent his beast in the middle of a fight and disturbed the outco. As a mayor of a city, I am also the governnt's employee and I have the right to punish him."
"He didn't break any rule."
Chand refuted his claim.
"What do you an? Everyone saw that he did!"
Chand pointed at the corner of the octagon
"Look, that's the mayor of Rosehill city. He had co to stop the fight, but the referee didn't listen to him and ignored him on purpose. His death was the punishnt given by Haji Tea per my order."
Mit An looked at a corner in anger, glaring at a trembling and fragile old man.
"Did you surrender?"
He asked.
"Ye... yes. I... did."
The fragile old man replied as he shivered.
"Speak the truth!"
Mir An yelled with an amplified voice before a typhoon of cosmic waves were unleashed, making the old man faint instantly.
"MIT AN, BEHAVE YOURSELF!"
Chand Gandraf released his cosmic powers as well, both cosmic waves collided, producing terrifying thunderclaps. The audience panicked and ran out of the stadium as Chand ca down. There was a 1-ter gap between both mayors possessing the strength of the 1st Moon of the Star King realm, ready to engage.
"Enough!"
A gentle voice ca out of nowhere, both mayors flinched.
"Mit An, just apologize and return to your city, and don't co back till the end of the tournant."
Mir An lowered his head, fear clearly visible on his face.
"Yes... governor. I apologize for my misbehavior."
Mit An acquiesced before quickly leaving. The voice ca again, now directed at the three judges.
"The three of didn't even bother to interfere instead daring to simply enjoy the ensuing chaos Can you even comprehend how much this whole incident will affect the province's reputation? Because of you, these youths could have been killed. Co to my office imdiately, I hope you have a convincing enough reason for this, for your own sake."
The judges' faces turned pale, they moved quickly and three new judges arrived at the sa ti. The atmosphere was cald once again.
Akash and the others felt trendous power behind those words, understanding that this man was a tar with the cultivation of at least the 3rd Moon of the Star King realm. anwhile, Chand Gandraf bowed, showing his respect towards the owner of that voice before going to Akash Tagar.
"Sorry, Mr. Akash, I received your ssage late and ca as fast as I could. Thank goodness, I ca just in ti."
Akash had sent a ssage to Shehneel Shodo and Neon Rosehip to call Mayor Chand, they were the only two out of Death Gate who weren't ordered to stay at the stadium.
"Thank you, Mr. Chand."
Akash expressed his gratitude before one of the new judges ca forward and announced.
"Apologies for the uh inconvenience, Rosehill City has surrendered, thus Fojipor City wins. Fojipor will move onto the next round and the tournant will resu tomorrow."
Akash sighed, he had barely avoided imminent death. He told himself.
"I am still far too weak, I need to work twice or even thrice as hard..."
Chand Gandraf looked at the girl Akash had saved, the first impression shocked him. The tall woman was not afraid at all, her calm face gave the impressions of soone who had already accepted their death.
Akash ordered.
"Let's go."
Death Gate disappeared once again, and the 5 lords followed their king. Soon after, everyone arrived, and the news of today's events quickly spread.
On top of the 6 pri paladins, there were three other people. The Mayor of Slave City, the Madam of Cosmiwood, who had co when she heard the news, and lastly Rukh Haseen, the real reason for this ss.
Akash Tagar asked Haji Tea.
"How were you able to convince the mayor of Rosehill to transfer her to Abran?"
Haji Tea sighed and replied.
"I gave him all the money I won from that bet. He is rich enough to live in a 1st tier city now"
A smirk appeared on Akash's lips as he said.
"Haha, I'm sorry, dear Haji."
"Huh! Haha, no worries, My Liege. That amount of money doesn't an anything to , as long as I can continue to follow you and serve you to my fullest."
Haji laughed in response before soon becoming serious again. He then turned to Chand and the latter quickly understood.
"I'll take my leave then, Mr. Akash."
The Madam of Cosmiwood was puzzled by the respectful behaviour of the mayor towards Akash Tagar. Chand coughed and gently hit Rukh with his elbow.
"Ehm, Miss Rukh, let's go."
She understood as well and gave an excuse.
"Oh, yeah... I also had sothing to do as well, see ya everyone."
She left sowhat confused while Akash pivoted his eyes to hak Pitafi.
"Who are you?"
He asked
"I am hak Pitafi."
She replied with empty eyes.
"How did you co here?"
"I was brought by the mayor to participate, like everyone else."
She replied.
"No, I am talking about this planet. How did you get to Planet Earth?"
Akash asked more clearly this ti, making her flinch as her expression suddenly changed.
"I was born here."
She said after a mont.
"Don't try fooling , I'm as abnormal as you are. That's why I went to great lengths to save you. Don't worry, you are safe now."
Akash explained.
"You... do you also want to humiliate ?"
She asked, tears gathering in her eyes. Akash beca more anxious about her past, he had ordered everyone to leave the apartnt, leaving them two alone.
"No, I'm not that type of person. All I want to know is the truth. Just answer my questions honestly. Who are you?"
She took so deep breaths and replied.
"I'm... hak. I was sent here by... by my father when I was young."
Akash squinted his eyes, his interest rising.
"Where is your father?"
"He... he is... dead."
hak covered her face, tears welled up from deep inside and coursed down her cheeks. She fell on her knees and sobbed before Akash gently tapped her head and relented.
"Alright, take so rest, you are safe now. No one will touch you ever again, we will talk later."
Akash put off his questions for later and left the apartnt as well. hak Pitafi was still on the floor, curled up in a ball, crying with no end.
