The Sajhad Nation bubbled with excitement as everyone prepared for the event.
It was the annual global business meeting happening in Sajhad Nation. So, delegations from various nations have arrived.
However, the meeting was simply a cover up for the Mercenary Tournament. After all, such a graphic and secret even can’t be live broadcasted.
Various mercenary guilds across the globe have arrived, welcomed by the Sajhad Nation’s agents.
With a secured carriage, all of them were taken into the deepest part of the desert.
Many people think that the Great Sajhad Desert was simply a dead zone on the planet. However, it was merely a fluke to keep the public ignorant.
In the middle of the Great Sajhad Desert stood the City of Nur. It was a grand oasis, with a flourishing city and people inside.
Most people inside were from three main tribes. They are the secret controllers of the Sajhad Nation.
And there stood the Desert Ruin Palace, a giant open spatial realm. Hundreds of years ago, it was a separate spatial realm. But now the space around the Desert Ruin Palace has stabilized, making it a part of the City of Nur.
” Greetings, our distant friends. We welcome you to the City of Nur.”
” This is an ancient and sacred city. We hope you like your stay here.”
” All your accommodation has been taken care of. Your stay is chosen as your guild’s ranking.”
Similar to martial artists and superhumans, the mercenary guilds are also categorized into various grades. D grade guilds are the lowest, followed by C, B, A, and S class units.
The rooms given to the mercenary guilds were top notch. But still, one could feel the difference in luxury suites between D grade and C grade mercenary guilds.
As a car entered, Jun Tianyun walked out wearing sunglasses and a white coat with a purple flower pattern. As he walked to the main reception hall, he pulled out a black gold card.
The receptionist was stunned when she saw the card and quickly scanned it.
” Ahh, Mr. Jun, Welcome to the City of Nur.” The receptionist’s voice became respectful. ” We have already prepared your suite. Shall I send someone to guide you?”
” Not really. The City of Nur is pretty big. I would like to explore it a bit.” Jun Tianyun laughed. ” Just show me my room, ok?”
” Please take this card and go to the Moon Lake. I believe you can easily find your accommodation there.” The receptionist smiled and passed Jun Tianyun a card.
Holding it, Jun Tianyun left politely. Looking around at the various buildings and houses across the City of Nur, He couldn’t help but sigh.
‘ Interesting, they made the house from sand and limestones. It keeps the inside cool despite the terrible heat here.’
‘ And, this is a big oasis. The aquafire underground is filled with natural drinkable water.’
When Jun Tianyun arrived near Moon Lake, he couldn’t help but nod with approval. The lake was very large, with lush green foliage around the bank.
The water was deep and clear, with a green shade of turquoise color. On the other side, one can see the great desert and the western horizon.
Soon enough, Jun Tianyun found his villa. It was a large villa, guarded by security guards. When Jun Tianyun arrived, the main guard checked the card.
” Welcome, Mr. Jun. His Majesty specially prepared this Imperial Suite for you.” The guard bowed.
However, before Jun Tianyun could say anything, a group of people arrived there.
” Yoh, This place looks great, isn’t it?”
” Boss, What do you say? Shall we take it?”
Jun Tianyun turned around and looked at them. ” Perhaps you have come to a wrong address. But this place belongs to me.”
” Hoh? And who are you, pretty boy?” A burly man walked towards Jun Tianyun.
” I guess you don’t know the hidden rule of City of Nur?” The man chuckled.
” You think you just throw money and get a place to stay? Hah! This is the Global Mercenary Tournament. You need strength to protect your belongings.”
” So, You are saying you want to snatch my house?” Jun Tianyun raised his brows. ” You probably got a suite of your own, yes? Why do you want mine?”
” Hahaha! This brat…He really doesn’t know anything!”
” Boss! Let’s take him down! With this place, our reputation will increase.” One of the man’s subordinates spoke with enthusiasm.
” You guys…You are really taking me lightly, eh?”
With his Eyes of Fortune flashing, Jun Tianyun saw a bright ray of yellow on the people standing before him.
‘ Tch, If my power was still there, the yellow color of caution wouldn’t have appeared on these bugs.’ Jun Tianyun thought inwardly.
” I am Valthor, the leader of Black Lagoon Guild. You think you can stand before our A class guild?”
” Well, If your guild was powerful, You won’t have subtly said that it’s an A class guild.”Jun Tianyun shrugged.
” Black Lagoon Guild? Sounds more like Seawage Guild.”
” You-You bastard!” Valthor’s expression turned ugly when he heard Jun Tianyun’s taunt.
” You are just a pretty boy. You think you can handle us?”
” Boss, Don’t worry. Let me go and take care of this bastard first.”
Jun Tianyun sighed as he rubbed his forehead. ‘ Damn, I guess my misfortune is really acting up. Otherwise, how could I meet with such braindead third grade villains?’
But then, Jun Tianyun realized it was a good chance to test his body. Taking a deep breath, Jun Tianyun raised his fist and showed a big middle finger to them.
” If you guys want to yap, then you can yap somewhere else. Don’t waste my time and start already.”
” Bastard!”
A man took a step forward as he was about to attack Jun Tianyun. However, suddenly, that person vanished from his position.
*THUD!*
The guild members of Black Lagoon Guild were stunned as they looked back. The person was lying on the ground, his body twisted in an odd angle.
” ARRGHH!”
A painful scream echoed through the area. But, Jun Tianyun didn’t stay still as he made his move.
” Hah, What do you think this is? A turn based RPG? You attack me, then I wait for you to attack me again?”
Jun Tianyun’s dragon bloodline activated as his fist was covered with a powerful aura.
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
Flames sparkled in the air as half of the Black Lagoon Guild members got taken out in an instant. Valthor’s expression turned dark as raised his feet, stomping on the ground.
” Bastard! Get off!”
*BOOM! BOOOOM!*
The ground trembled as fissures appeared around Jun Tianyun like a shockwave. Jun Tianyun bent slightly and did a backflip, dodging the shockwave easily.
Jun Tianyun felt the wind around him turning heavy. The wind made his movement slightly sluggish.
Suddenly, Jun Tianyun’s eyes narrowed as he saw a giant stone covered fist before him. It was Valthor, whose arms looked like covered with pristine stones.
” DIE!”
” Hmph!”
Jun Tianyun didn’t back down as he raised his fist to match Valthor’s attack. Both of their fists collided, making the air boom.
*BOOOM!*
Using his legs to propel forward, Jun Tianyun’s fist blurred, turning into several palms condensed from flames.
” Eight Trigram Dragon Subduing Palm! Blazing Gold!”
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
Valthor felt his body being tossed many times as the rocks around his body got crushed. With a vicious kick, Jun Tianyun sent him flying.
The members of the Black Lagoon Guild were stunned when they saw the condition of Valthor.
” Well, Anyone else wants to come?” this-chapter-is-NovelFire
Jun Tianyun chuckled as he showed them his middle finger.
