When the morning rose, people were gathered in the giant arena. The design was rather marvelous, looking like everyone sitting in an ancient desert colosseum.
In the middle of the arena were broken ruins with two gigantic pillars standing like a gate.
” Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to our International Mercenary Tournament!”
” Well well, It looks like the crowd is pretty excited, eh? This is what we needed for it!”
The commentator’s voice cheered everyone. Jun Tianyun sat in a VIP seat as he enjoyed the scene from above.
” Rather than some boring introductions, shall we dive straight to the main part?”
” This year, The tournament is going to be more exciting. Because, It’s going to happen inside a spatial realm!”
” Welcome to the Desert Palace Spatial Realm!”
The two stone pillars shone with a bright light as the space between them distorted, creating a portal between them.
It looked like a shattered mirror, with various colors blending like a foggy paint. The crowd gasped as they saw the appearance of the spatial realm.
” The Desert Palace Ruin is one of the oldest discovered spatial pockets of Sajhad Nation. It shall give a perfect opportunity for all the mercenary units to showcase their power.”
” And, Don’t worry. The method of communication is perfect.”
The sky glowed as various screens appeared on the sky, with a clear holographic view.
” Our drones shall always survey the entire spatial pocket. So, no need to worry about missing an epic fight.”
” Meanwhile, You can change the perspective of drones through the special screens before you. In that way, you can enjoy your favorite team without any interruption.”
” The rules of this tournament are rather simple.”
” There are monsters in the spatial pocket. Bronze grade monsters are worth ten points, Silver grade monsters are worth fifty, Gold grade monsters are worth hundred and Boss Monster is worth five hundred points.”
” Along with monsters, various hidden gold bars are hidden across the spatial reach, each costing a thousand points.”
” Each team shall carry a score orb, which shall contain their scores.”
” The mercenary teams can fight against monsters, hunt for gold bars or even steal the score orbs of other teams. The one with the highest score shall win.”
” Murder and rape is strictly prohibited in the spatial realm. Other than that…”
The commentator gave an evil grin as he chuckled. ” Anyway, Rather than dwelling on dark things, How about we begin the competition?”
Prince Rehman walked out as he took out an antique looking pistol.
” With this, I commence the tournament!*
*BANG!*
Each team consisted of ten people. The leaders of the team drew lots and entered the portal according to the number.
Jun Tianyun nodded when he saw Heaven’s Calamity team entering the spatial realm, With Ashley and Ming Yue leading them.
‘ With two of them there, along with the equipment of the members, I believe they can secure the first place.’ Jun Tianyun chuckled inwardly.
” So, You are enjoying your time here, hm?”
Jun Tianyun turned his head and looked at the woman sitting beside him.
” Interesting. You managed to breach the security and enter in my private balcony.” Jun Tianyun gave a smile.
” Why not? It’s been so long since I have seen you.” The lady rested her chin on her fist, looking at Jun Tianyun with an affectionate smile.
” Why not take off that glass? Though I have to say, that level of illusion won’t work on me.”
” Oh, Of course. I know it won’t work for you. It’s for others anyway.” The lady smiled as she took off her glasses.
Suddenly, the aura around her changed and her hairs became black, blacker than night itself. Jun Tianyun’s pupils became wider a bit when he saw her subtle transformation. Despite his calmness, he still felt a ripple in his heart.
‘ She…She is so…beautiful.’
” Haaah? Am I not beautiful?” The lady looked at Jun Tianyun for a moment before sighing. ” I guess my charm has no effect.”
” It’s not like you aren’t beautiful. It’s just that I have…”
” Seen so many beauties that you are used to it?” The lady finished his sentence, Making Jun Tianyun flinch.
” It looks like you checked my background quite a lot, huh?”
” Of course, I have to get know to my enemi…I mean, Sister in laws.”
” Wait, You are…”
Jun Tianyun’s expression changed as he felt something from the slip of her tongue. He already felt a strange connection with that lady’s body.
” Little brother, Have you finally recognized me?” The lady’s voice quivered as she looked at Jun Tianyun with an anticipated look.
” Nope, I haven’t, Elder Sister Ronghua.”
” Yo-You…”
The lady felt disappointed when she heard the first half of Jun Tianyun’s sentence. However, when he finished it, the lady”s eyes widened and her lips puckered, giving a playful pout.
” I see, You are still as mischievous as before, Xiao Jun.”
Suddenly, Jun Tianyun felt a strong force as he fell into the lady’s embrace. The lady held him tightly as her fingers twirled around his hair almost possessively.
It was like she has finally gotten someone who she longed for years, and she isn’t willing to be part of him even for a moment.
” Easy, Sister Ronghua, Else I might choke.” Jun Tianyun let out a whimper.
” Aw? Are you complimenting my boobs in that way, Xiao Jun?” Jun Ronghua giggled as she let him go.
But Jun Tianyun didn’t go as he remained in that position. He felt the familiar fragrance from her body, awakening dusty memories in his mind.
” I can’t believe it’s really you, Sister Ronghua.”
” Oh, Xiao Jun.” Jun Ronghua held Jun Tianyun tighter as her voice quivered. content-hosted-on-NovelFire
” I missed you so much…So much I can’t even tell you. There wasn’t a single day I didn’t think about you.”
Both remained silent as they remained in that position. Jun Tianyun felt a strange relaxation, making him close his eyes and savor the nostalgia.
He could feel the old memories resurfacing.
” Haah, I missed your cookies, Big Sister.”
” Don’t worry, Now I am here, I am going to bake for you every day.” Jun Ronghua cooed as she caressed Jia Hao’s hair.
” You must have it hard, huh?” She sighed.” Abandoned by family after your Eight Governing Meridians got sealed.”
” Those motherfucking Nethworld Cult…I still remember their deeds.”
” No need to worry about them.” Jun Tianyun caressed her hand. ” I have already uprooted all their surface puppets, whether it is the Rui Corporation or Black Ghost Sect.”
” Hehe, I know. You really did a good clean up after returning to Jun Family.” Jun Ronghua smiled.
” But what’s with the Southern Island Nation and Heaven’s Calamity unit, hm? You are hiding way too many things, Brat.”
” Should I not say that about your Dark Phoenix Guild?” Jun Tianyun playfully bared his teeth at Jun Ronghua.
” Ahaha, I see.” Jun Ronghua laughed.
” Let’s have a proper talk as we see the match, alright?”
Jun Tianyun chuckled as he nodded. But when he looked at Jun Ronghua with his Eyes of Fortune, his expression changed.
Her fate…was pitch black.
