Boisterous laughter erupted in the main arena as everyone lost their bearings.

"Hahaha!" Emperor Ashton loudly laughed as he bent down, hugging his stomach.

Logan also couldn't take it as he laughed in satisfaction while he thought, 'All that humiliation I experienced earlier was worth it! Good! Good!'

The other emperors also couldn't hold their laughter as they looked at Tritor and laughed.

The geniuses looked like they were suffering from constipation as their face looked flushed. They tried to hold their laughter through various means. Some tried to hide their faces, while some buried their faces as they held their stomach.

Emperor Tritor's face went pale from anger. When had he ever faced a humiliation like this?

His arms were trembling as he gritted his fingers tightly while blood was dripping out of his palms, dirtying the ground.

"What is meaning of this!? Logan Loret!" His tone was incomparably cold as it induced a bone-chilling effect on whoever heard it.

"Heh, weren't you the one who sent him to the preliminaries, doubting about his abilities? Look, isn't he nice? He didn't even forget to send you his regards..." Logan said in an earnest tone. His face looked as if he was incomparably sincere in explaining.

"You...!"

"No matter, how can you lose your bearing over the tantrum of a child. Remember that you are an emperor!" Emperor Raven reminded him.

Emperor Tritor gritted his teeth as he looked at the projection in hatred only to rage again.

"You are courting death!!!"

The projection showed the ground around Davis were filled with letters of blood.

[I hope you had liked my present, Grandson!]

Not only that but Davis could be seen waving at them in a carefree manner.

Another round of continuous laughter erupted in the arena as the geniuses really couldn't stop themselves from laughing anymore.

Suddenly, Emperor Tritor regained his bearings and calmly sat on his seat. He then lazily uttered, "Reasoning with you people is useless, no haste. I'll wait for your cute son to come here."

As he thought about the humiliation he received, his eyes flashed with killing intent. The reason why he was able to calm down was that he had already started concocting a plan for killing Davis. A plan that was well deserved and humiliating for Davis.

Logan, Emperor Ashton and Emperor Ruth narrowed their eyes. The other emperors could also see the killing intent in Emperor Tritor's eyes, but they remained silent as it wasn't related to them.

"Emperor Loret, if he makes a move on your son, know that this emperor will aid you in helping your son escape." Emperor Ruth sent a Soul Transmission to Logan.

"Yes, this is serious. It would be fine if he did this in our home, but disrespecting an emperor is the same as disrespecting us as well. So it will be quite difficult for us to protect him. That said, I won't watch him take it too far with my son. If he wants to kill my son, then he should be prepared to die!" Logan said as his eyes turned cold.

Logan also received a Soul Transmission from Emperor Ashton. Now he felt relieved as two emperors were supporting him.

....

'I bet that stick man is pissed off if he had watched what I'd done.'...

After waving his hands to the monitoring bug, Davis took off in some other direction.

Of course, the direction in which he headed to, was where Ellia was.

He felt so good, doing that stunt which was childish.

He knew that he was needlessly provoking Emperor Tritor, but he knew that one shouldn't let their enemies live long. So he took a leap of risk in provoking him.

The impression Davis had about Tritor was that 'A person who would adopt any means to kill off his enemies.'

As he made his way to the place where Ellia was, he saw a lot of participants still hunting for some beasts.

Suddenly, he stopped because he caught sight of Evelynn who was battling a Peak-Level Earth Beast Stage Magical Beast.

The beast looked haggard as it went an intense battle against Evelynn. Its fur was red in colour and back was razor sharp. One of its eyes were slashed, while one of its two tails were cut off.

"A Two-Tailed Red Tiger..." Davis muttered as he looked at the almost dead beast.

Evelynn held a sword in her hands which was dyed red from the beast blood.

"Die beast!"

She cast her sonic technique which added on to the damage already she had already inflicted on the tiger.

*Rawwrrr* The beast roared as it felt its head ache while simultaneously it closed its only working eye.

*Slash*

The beast's head was severed as the head flew and landed near Davis.

"Davis?" Evelynn saw a familiar silhouette and called out doubtfully.

Davis walked inside her range of sight. After all, there was fog perpetually all over the place.

Seeing Davis showing himself in front of her, her heart relaxed. After all, she was all alone in this place, hunting a beast. If she saw a vague silhouette that looked like a kid, then she would've been spooked if she didn't know that a kid like Davis was participating in the second round.

"That was a good kill..." Davis commented as he approached her.

"Oh, that, I couldn't fight it in close quarters so I used that technique which was ineffective against you to overcome the gap. And effectively I was able to sever a... lot of its body parts..." When Evelynn caught sight of him, she turned pretty nervous. So to hide that, she tried to explain what she had done.

'Hmm? Something wrong with her? Why is she turning nervous? This makes no sense!' Davis thought as he saw her getting fidgety.

He wryly laughed and asked as he changed the topic, "The second round is almost ending, why don't we travel together?"

"Sss... Sure." Evelynn said as she hastily went near the beast to take out its core. But she then remembered something as she continued, "My team is nearby as well, we should move together then."

"...Alright" Davis had no objections, although he felt like he had lost something in that instant.

He then realized it a second later as he felt intense regret, 'Fuck! I lost my time to be alone with Evelynn together!'
