Chapter 29: Being Played So Damn Badly...
......
BLING!
A bright blue magically powered screen turned on behind the announcers floating podium as more than 2150 names emerged on the screen. All names were set behind a number, and every number was followed by the match that they would be fighting in.
For Lucifer's first opponent, it was none other than...
"Yan Xue..." Shi Shun mumbled from the VIP stage as she nearly let out a light giggle.
"Yo, announcer dude! I need a new opponent! Mine won't be leaving the infirmary for a while, and I got stuff I need to do!"
Lucifer stopped the Announcer from drinking some water after his long speech, nearly making him cough on H2O.
"The audacity..." The Elder from the Dragon Tamer Sect muttered, mildly amazed by the sheer size of this youngster's balls.
"This 6th Young Master... Was he always like this?"
A High-Ranking Noble Lady from a Rank 3 Family held her hand to her white powdered face, trying to recall her meetings with Lucifer.
"..."
The Noble Lady's words put Lady Mu in a profound state, as something was definitely up with her son. Such drastic changes didn't just come overnight...
Lucifer gauged the reactions of everyone around him, and after making sure everything was going according to plan, he coughed up blood and knelt over onto the ground. His face turned ashen just as the Announcer was about to give him a new opponent...
"Oh No!!! It looks like I injured myself in that earlier battle! It put immense amounts of stress on my body!" Lucifer cried out with a pained expression, blood drizzling down the side of his lips. "Oh, the injustices! I was jumped by a hooligan! What am I to do about this!?
How am I to participate in this shitt-... eye-opening competition!?"
"..." "..." "..."
The 6th Young Master put on the biggest play of the century as he pulled out all the stops, even taking out a large neon sign that said, 'Please, need the Pills. If you are a kind soul, throw them down to me!'
"What the hell is this nonsense...?" General Long inquired with a baffled tone, his hardened gaze fixated on the stern Lord beside him.
"..."
That was why he was so broke even though he had the backing of the Devilduke Family...
His thoughts stirred as he looked up, only to see everyone laughing at him, not with him.
For now, you may laugh and giggle. But your pockets will be my pockets before you know it.
Lucifer evilly grinned inside his mind while secretly observing the expressions of all the onlookers. His little ploy persisted for a few more seconds before Lord Xiao ultimately spoke up:
"You may stop now, Lucifer. You are exempted from the competition due to your 'injuries' and unlawful attack by Yan Xue. But you will join us in the Feasting Hall after the Competition is finished. Is that understood?"
"Why yes, my Dear Father! I will do that right away! Now if everyone will excuse me!"
Lucifer responded in a differential manner before outright strolling out of the arena gate in tip-top health. However, before his face passed through the last bit of viable space, he locked eyes with the beautiful ice princess above.
'Keep staring at me like that, Shiny Shoes, and I'll get up close and personal—showing you everything within an inch of the real thing.'
"???"
Shi Shun was visibly surprised by the voice transmission, as she never would've expected his control over the elements to have already reach such a high level.
Just as she was about to respond back, Lucifer fully faded from view, his destination being wherever the wind took him.
You didn't even say my name properly...
For some reason, a small pout formed on Shi Shun's gorgeous face as she promised to get her revenge at a later point in time.
Shi Shun didn't know how she knew that they'd meet again. She just had a strong inclination toward such a meet-up coming to pass...
"Hmm...?" General Long looked at the face his daughter was making as his inward smile only grew.
This girl isn't a useless object of desire after all. She will put her use into the cause, no matter if she has to sell her body to that idiotic Lucifer or not...
Without anyone even realizing it, the past display of power by the 6th Young Master was completely overlooked by all the people in the Arena. It was instead replaced by the same view that everyone originally had of him. However, contrary to before, he was no longer invisible.
His power gave him a presence. That presence was overshadowed by the usual goofy greediness. And now everything was put under the umbrella of benefits, where everyone had their own plans in mind for the Young Master.
Little did they know that, without exception, every single one of them was being played... They were being played so damn badly...
