Chapter 741: Intensity
Mark really didn’t care about whether the Japanese government liked them or not. So long as Mark could get into the country, then he was good. And besides, Mark still didn’t know if he was even going to take the games seriously, so there was no need for him to care about what the organizers thought.
Henry nodded after Mark shrugged since that was as good as an agreement for him, and he continued talking while directing them toward the plane.
"I’ll be arriving in Japan a little later since the Directors of the Superhuman Alliance branches were told to come later than the contestants. We weren’t given a reason, but it’s just the way they want things to go, so you can rely on the Superhuman Alliance in Japan to take care of all your needs before I arrive. And on that note, please have a pleasant flight."
The team began to head towards the plane after Henry finally finished his speech. Along with Pat, Jeanne and Turner, there were a few other non-combatants who were allowed to come for the contest. They were mostly medics and members of the Superhuman Alliance staff, so Mark didn’t pay them any attention. Stay connected with novelhall.Côm
The flight to Japan took them the better part of fourteen hours, and each hour of it was just irritatingly boring for Mark. Mark was seated near the window with Arit beside him and Luna on Arit’s other side, and if not for Arit talking to him for most of the ride, Mark would have just fallen asleep during it. The plane they were using was only a commercial line, so it didn’t have the same flight speed as a military jet or a higher-end jet like the one Mark owned.
"We were trying to take out the spleen, but he kept on going into cardiac arrest during the operation since his body was reacting to the drug we used to keep him unconscious, so we had to just wake him up and operate on him without the drug. He didn’t feel anything while we were working, but they tied him down to make sure he didn’t move..."
Mark chuckled as Arit explained one of the operations that she carried out at the hospital to him. Mark always found it fascinating to hear the things that Arit was already doing, even though she was only a trainee under Jeanne. It was like Arit was already a full-time doctor.
However, Mark noticed that even though the members of his guild all had the same resolute looks on their faces as they prepared for the guild mission, there was also an undertone of intensity that exposed their true intentions to Mark. They were all feeling the obvious competitiveness that only a competition of this magnitude could produce. And those from Mark’s guild weren’t the only ones feeling like this.
As Mark’s eyes swept over the large crowd of Superhumans present in the airport, Mark could make out the intense stares from each and every one of them as they glanced towards him while speaking in hushed whispers. Every Superhuman present here was the best of the best from their respective country. They had all been chosen by their government to represent their country as a direct response to Mark entering this competition, and Mark knew that they were all going to be aiming for his head once the tournament began.
"Hey, that’s him, right? The God Killer? Heard he can kill an Armageddon in less than ten minutes."
"Did you hear about what he did in France the other day? Apparently, he can even control anima to run towards him."
"We’re going to have to take care of him once the tournament starts. It’ll be hell if we allow him to get into his element."
The crowd of Superhumans all made plans about how they could take care of Mark once the tournament began. They all knew that Mark was stronger than any one of them individually, but together, they were confident that they could stand a better chance of subduing him. Mark’s actions in many of the countries present there had made the Superhumans resentful of him due to the fact that he was taking away the anima corpses and the profit that they could be making from the anima. It was like Mark was so greedy that he wasn’t satisfied with all the anima that he was killing in his own country, he was going out to other countries just to fuck with all the Superhumans there as well.
This vindictiveness bled into their competitive spirit, and the Superhumans got ready to serve Mark back for his actions.
