Chapter 154: Third-day Event
The sun rose as scheduled and brought a new day for everyone living in the Bisan Kingdom.
The door of the store automatically opened to welco the crowd inside.
Since it was the last day of the three-day event, thousands of people were already waiting outside for the store to open.
The mont the door of the store opened, people, like the flow of the raging river, moved inside the store.
Since they only needed to think of going to the chair after setting foot inside the store, a situation of stampede didn't occur.
More than thirty minutes had passed since the door of the store opened, but Aakesh was nowhere to be seen. The people currently sitting in the store had already crossed the mark of 100,000.
Another hour passed, and Aakesh still didn't appear, while the number of people sitting in the chair had crossed 378,000.
"Why do you think the store owner isn't appearing despite so much ti passing?" One man in the crowd confusedly asked his friend.
In the last two days, the first event was usually already in half-phase during this ti, and today the store owner hadn't even appeared, let alone the start of the event.
"Maybe the store owner forgot," The friend doubtfully replied.
The man gave the side-eye to his friend after hearing his response.
"Maybe the event is going to be way grander than the events from the last two days," Another man who was sitting near the group of friends comnted. He wasn't sure about what he comnted, but he felt that sothing like this was bound to happen.
Another 90 minutes passed, but Aakesh still didn't appear.
Despite three hours passing, no one in the crowd left the store and waited for the store owner to appear without making any fuss. The current number of people in the store had already crossed the golden number of one million, and still, hundreds of people were entering the store every mont.
Around 30% of the people in the crowd didn't belong to the Bisan Kingdom. Many in the crowd arrived for the event after spending large sums of money on their travel.
The tower that Brinda had won yesterday was the reason behind the people from outside the Bisan Kingdom arriving.

The previous evening after the end of the events,
"You've done a huge favor on us. Our family could never repay you," Punta told his grandaughter while they were on their way to the royal palace.
"It was my duty, royal grandfather," Brinda replied with a calm look on her face.
"Our Kingdom has nothing worth to reward you for the service you'd done to the Kingdom by winning the tower, but still, I can do one personal thing. You don't need to use the honorary title before . You can simply call grandfather," Punta announced, bringing a look of shock on the faces of the other family mbers.
Many of the princes and princesses had envious faces after hearing Punta's announcent. It may not have ant anything if it had co from their father, but it was their grandfather, a prince of another Kingdom, thousands of tis greater than theirs.
After this announcent, Punta choosing soone other than Brinda as the next king was likely impossible. Even if sothing major happened in the future that may force Punta to select so other heir, there is almost no doubt that Brinda still would have the greatest say in the Kingdom after what she had achieved today and Punta's announcent.
"Thank you, grandfather," Punta excitedly responded to her grandfather's announcent since she also understood the value of what Punta said.
"Damn it, how could this happen? If grandfather had already made his mind to choose her as the next king, then what about the hard work I've been doing this past week in the Panagea?" Pento frustratingly thought inside his heart but had an envious expression on the outside.
He couldn't afford to show his frustrating expression today since Brinda has won sothing which could change the trajectory of the Bisan Kingdom for its life.
Pento's primary purpose behind working this hard in Panagea was to gain enough power to get chosen as the heir. After Aakesh had told him he would have the chance to get territory in the Panagea in the event, he thought his ti had co. But then, today happened, and an event with the tower as the reward ca, and his sister Brinda was the sole participant to win a fight against the opponent having the sa cultivation level as her.
He couldn't help but curse himself for not being able to win against the opponent of the sa level despite polishing his fighting techniques due to the quests in the Panagea.
He was cursing himself when he suddenly broke out of his stupor, and the next mont his jaw almost dropped to the ground after hearing what Punta said next.
"Let's et father, your great-grandfather today," Punta suddenly told Brinda.
"Really!" Brinda exclaid in shock in response.
"I'll et you in the royal palace," Punta looked at the other royal family mbers and told them.
The next mont, he took a strange button out of his space ring. He then grabbed hold of Brinda's hands and crushed the button before anyone could say anything.
The next mont, they both disappeared from there, while all the other mbers had jealous and frustrating expressions after they left.
Punta belonged to the Chivell Kingdom. He brought Brinda here, as he had already chosen her as the next king of the Bisan Kingdom.
It wasn't due to the tower that he had made this decision. Even if soone else had won, he would've still chosen Brinda as the king.
Her talent alone made him choose her as the king. He brought her here to make acquaintance with his father.
He had already decided to leave the life of power after selecting the heir, so he brought her here in case sothing happened to his Kingdom, Brinda would still be able to survive with the help of his father.
After Punta told his father about Brinda, the tower, and the event, his father also decided to join them tomorrow with his family for the event in the store.
That night, an announcent rang in the Chivell Kingdom, and the spies of nearby Kingdoms made the announcents known to others too.
