1357 Behold



Date- 7 April 2321

Time- 13:43

Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital, Southern Card Creationist Association, Auction House

Basking in the admiration of the audience, Chris glanced at the Silver Milk Fraudster and subtly let out a sneer. Since the start of the challenge, Chris had never considered the fraudster a threat except for the Southern emperor backing him. However, the fact that the card soldier was able to finish creating his card five minutes faster than him came as a shock to him. Which was enough for him to see the card soldier with hostility. 

Briefly explaining his card, Chris then called volunteers from the audience to demonstrate the effect of his card, Coiling Rope. Following the choice of the referee two card scholars quickly took the stage, one equipped the item card while the other assumed the role of the target. 

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm “E-rank, Common grade, Coiling Rope item card,” the Card scholar summoned the coiling rope and then threw it at the other Card scholar under the watchful eyes of the referee. Upon coming in contact with its target the Coiling rope immediately coiled around the Card scholar. The Card scholar tried every ounce of his power to free himself from the bind of the coiling rope but he couldn’t even loosen it. As advertised the coiling rope indeed had the grip of an E-rank monster. 

Once Chris’s demonstration was over, the announcer then took the stage and after saying a few words of praise to Chris, he then invited the representative of the southern card creationist association to display, explain, and demonstrate the card he had created, “Master Chris, you have created a remarkable card considering the ingredients and time at your disposal. Your card creation was an eye-opening experience. Now continuing with challenge folks, give it up for Master Wyatt.” 

Handing the control of the auction house’s display array formation to his opponent, Chris followed the announcer off the stage, feeling that he had already won the match and wondering who the Southern Emperor will be sending next to represent the Southern card creationist association against him.

In the Royal family’s exclusive VIP box, Laura and Aria looked at the boy with concern seeing the shocking demonstration put forward by Chris. Having come in contact with the boy recently both of them were not yet fully introduced to the capabilities of the boy otherwise they would be as aloof and casual about the challenge as the others in the VIP room. 

Especially, Ann. She didn’t even bother about the challenge ever since the boy took the stage. She was more focused on figuring out Chris Ainsworth’s real identity and how he made it to the southern capital past the border without leaving any form of a trace. 

Unable to confirm if Chris Ainsworth was Chris Chase, Ann decided to trace everything and everywhere Chris Ainsworth has been hoping that it will give a clue to his identity and also help her figure out how he made it to the southern capital from the western region without getting noticed.

“This is all you could find on Chris Ainsworth?” Ann asked the director while going through the files that showed every place and everything Chris Ainsworth did after entering the Southern capital. 

“Yes, your Highness,” the auction house director nodded with his head down able to face Ann because of the lacking intelligence collected on Chris Ainsworth.

“According to this file, Chris Ainsworth suddenly appeared at the gates of the Southern capital this morning all alone. While the folks at the Western Capital claim that Chris Ainsworth entered an A-rank gate dungeon this morning and was yet to clear it. Will you help me understand how one person can be in two places at the same time?” Ann grumbled at the auction house director. 

Ann’s frustration only kept growing the more she looked into Chris Ainsworth. It was as if this fellow came into existence a few years ago proving that Chris Ainsworth was a fake identity as the boy claimed. However, what she did not understand was how can person who entered an A-rank gate dungeon in the Western capital be in the Southern capital. Things did not make sense. 

While Ann was taking her frustration out on the auction house director, Agatha and Aba looked at him with pity. They too did not focus much on the challenge because knowing the ending had spoiled the fun of watching the challenge for them. So they sort entertainment in the auction house director’s misery. But seeing how the auction house was not able to produce any results was instead being screamed at by Ann it got sad real fast. 

Taking the stage I did not bother to greet the audience, and nor did the audience welcome me with a round of applause as they did in Chris’s case instead I heard someone in the crowd boo as I took the stage. It seems the crowd has already deemed me as the bad guy, my reputation as the Silver Milk Fraudster was more notorious than I had thought. 

I have never met such prejudice from a crowd of unfamiliar people in both of my lives till today. Even the Southerners in the audience and viewers did not seem to bother to cheer for me for the sake of team spirit. Therefore I did not bother to address the audience in any way because I knew I would be met with ridicule and laughter unlike in Chris’s case where every time he addressed the audience he was met with affection and respect. 

Once Hive AI and Super Brain had total control of the auction house’s display array formation I announced with a deep voice, “Behold, the Bloody Lasso of Prohibition.” 

With my announcement the card and its info were displayed on the big screens in all the corners of the auction hall. And the disinterested and wild audience soon became disciplined as they went through the card info of the Bloody Lasso of Prohibition.
