''Thanks for coming,'' Leppercon said with an amiable smile.
In front of him were three men with expensive-looking suits and two women with revealing dresses.
But, all of them had one thing in common. Their status is way higher than anyone else in the Underworld City currently!
The first man had sharp eyebrows with small bluish eyes. His body stature is somewhat ordinary, but his fists have apparent scars. He received those by fighting over 10,000 battles in past 15 years! He is called Battle Maniac, Rijun!
His Martial Arts Rank is Rankless Emperor, and he is one of the strongest ones in the entire Arya.
The second man had small blond hair with a similar-colored beard. He was around 2m in height with a slim body, and his average face didn't have any emotion. It was like he was a lifeless doll. He is one of the greatest Assassins in the entire Arya. He is called as Dark Death, Longel.
The third man was a man with a smaller stature. He was around 160cm in height with a pair of pistols strapped on his waist. He was also holding a long suitcase. He had ordinary brownish hair with sides having a slight tinge of grey, but even though he looked ordinary, he is far from it. He is called as Arya's Destruction, Ali.
He is called that because Government has proclaimed that this man is probably the most dangerous one if they let him grow. If they let him grow, Arya's Destruction is not far.
His Martial Arts Rank is Rankless Monarch, and he is only 26 years of age!
The first woman had beautiful blond hair with a face full of makeup. She was wearing a red dress which left her legs wide open and made cleavage visible. But, no one dared to look at his woman in the wrong way because she is called as Red Blood, Mei.
Her Martial Arts Rank is Rankless Monarch.
The second woman was a beautiful middle-aged woman with a slightly more gentle vibe around her. She was wearing a pink dress with a skirt, making her look quite adorable and innocent. She had a cute pointy nose and delicate facial features, her blue eyes scanned everyone curiously.
She is called as Unknown Entity, Elina.
Her Martial Arts Rank is Rankless Monarch.
''Leppercon,'' Rijun said simply, while others nodded.
They were currently staying in the Stadium, on the top floor where they can see the whole City.
Leppercon smiled and nodded. He walked towards a screen and turned it on.
6 names were shown in golden color.
''These 6 will be the so-called Gold Rankers.'' Leppercon said and stepped aside, ''The five are your fighters, while the sixth one is the one we decided to have that honor.''
They looked at the screen and looked at the names.
[Gold Rank: Lucius Killsoul - Fighter of Rijun]
[Gold Rank: Darc Bloodshed - Fighter of Longel]
[Gold Rank: Erik Genocen - Fighter of Ali]
[Gold Rank: Yumi Lafa - Fighter of Mei]
[Gold Rank: Kira Ember - Fighter of Elina]
Their heads turned to the last name, and a few of them looked surprised faces, especially Elina.
[Special Gold Rank: Kurogami Ichiro - Fighter of Arkenthym]
''Isn't he…?'' Rijun said with some uncertainty.
Leppercon smiled and nodded. He pressed a button on the screen, and instantly a figure of a black-haired young man appeared on the screen.
''How the hell you managed to get him?'' Rijun asked with a shocked look.
''Arkenthym did.'' Leppercon smiled, ''He has his family as hostage.''
''I see now.'' Rijun nodded with an understanding.
''By the way, where is Arkenthym?'' Mei asked.
Leppercon looked at his wristwatch and frowned, ''He should have been here already.''
After those words came out of his mouth, the door to the room was opened with a slam.
Everyone turned their heads around and saw a tall red-haired figure entering with an enraged face.
''What happened?'' Leppercon frowned after seeing his enraged look.
Arkenthym sat down on the chair and gritted his teeth, ''Nothing… Sorry for being late.''
Leppercon narrowed his eyes, ''Alright then… Tomorrow the tournament will start, and the winner will receive the Power Limit Remover.''
Power Limit Remover made everyone's eyes sparkle. Even though they can't use it on themselves, they can easily create a Rankless King subordinate.
Rijun grinned. He was quite confident about his fighter. Lucius managed to make him slightly excited when he fought him, even though he was much weaker than him!
It is a hard feat, especially because he has fought so many battles that he had grown numb to the feeling of excitement.
Longel hasn't changed his expression even the slightest, but he is fairly confident about his fighter. He found Darc in slums; his whole body was stained with blood while his face looked as emotionless as his.
He has only one goal in the fights, and that is to kill his opponent as quickly as possible.
Longel also taught him a few Assassins techniques.
Ali was cleaning his pistols while ignoring most of the talk. His fighter, Eric is just someone he found accidentally. He didn't teach him anything or give him any kind of advice.
Erik knows that he either wins or dies.
Mei sat next to Arkenthym and innocently fidgeted her toes. Her fighter Yumi is someone she found after Mei killed her parents. At that time, Yumi was not older than 6.
Mei decided to teach her just for the sole purpose of winning the Power Limit Remover for her.
After that, Yumi's usefulness has been used.
Elina still looked at the picture on the screen, 'Does Abyss know he is here… Probably not, should I tell him? No… Ichiro's family is in danger, which means he must have a plan…'
The Unknown Entity, also known as Elina, is someone no one has any information about, but her strength is very terrifying. Her fighter Kira is also a completely unknown individual. No one knows where she came from, and no one knows who she truly is.
''Tomorrow is the start of the tournament… Should we give our slaves one night free?'' Elina suddenly said.
''What are you suggesting, Miss Elina.'' Leppercon bowed respectfully.
''A party, but no alcohol, otherwise they would be too sh*tfaced to fight.'' She said with a neutral face.
''That can be arranged.'' Leppercon took a phone and started making calls.
Elina looked outside the window, 'Well… Time to meet him at last… Kurogami Ichiro, the disciple of Quella Dracolonia!'
