System's POV

Chapter 703: Are We Monarchs A Joke To You? [Part 2]



Aaron reined in his emotions and asked calmly.

"What do you want?"

"I want you to stop being a loser. Can you do that?"

"Can you stop being a brat and take this seriously?"

Thirteen chuckled before raising a finger-not the middle one.

"First, you have to admit that you rigged the venue where the elimination matches will be held," Thirteen stated. "You and I both know that I am telling the truth. Don't worry, you don't have to make it public. You just have to tell everyone here that you've done us dirty.

"After that, we can move on to the next topic. Of course, you can say that you conducted this tournament fairly. If you are going to insist on this, there is nothing that I can do. However, we will also conduct our own tournament with better prizes that you can come up with.

"I am Zion Leventis. I may not be handsome, but I killed a Majin King and have two scales that are lying around somewhere. Since that's the case, I'll put them to good use."

Aaron scoffed. "So the rumors that you didn't take any scales before the Laplace Demon took the Majin King's corpse were false."

"Are you stupid?" Thirteen rolled his eyes. "That's a Majin King. If you're in my place, will you not try to get something out of it? Talking to you like this makes me realize that a Pocopoco is smarter than you."

Aaron was so close to pinching Zion to death.

Almost everyone in Solterra and Pangea labeled Pocopocos as ugly and retarded birds.

Being compared to one of them was one of the greatest insults that could be given to someone.

Thirteen, on the other hand, rested his chin on the palm of his hand.

"So, are you going to admit it or not?" Thirteen asked. "Please, let's not waste each other's time, resources, and manpower by lying to each other. I'm a very busy person, and I have a tournament to oversee. I don't want to spend the rest of the day looking at your face."

"Your father really sired a bastard son," Aaron replied.

Thirteen was tempted to ask "which father?"

He had two fathers.

One was the System God, and the other was Gerald, the biological father of Zion Leventis.

But as the years passed, Thirteen started to treat his family as a real family, allowing him to enjoy a blessed life, which he didn't get to experience in the past.

"Stick and stones may hurt my bones, but your words will never hurt me," Thirteen said casually. "So, are we going to continue wasting our time here? I'll give you two minutes to decide."

The representatives of the Prestigious Families, including Michael and Hans, were truly surprised as they watched Zion talk to a Monarch as if he was just talking to a random guy on the street.

If they were in his shoes, they would feel too anxious, fearing to offend Aaron in the slightest. They would also choose their words carefully to ensure that they didn't part on bad terms. The Central Government was also doing its best to not burn bridges with the Ashford Clan. However, Zion was different. He was already pouring gas all over it while humming a tune. Two minutes later, he would light it on fire and burn the bridge without any regrets. "Fine, I did set traps in the elimination site," Aaron replied. "But, the scene that played on the LCD Screen earlier was fake. My son and I didn't have such discussions." "Sure, keep lying to yourself," Thirteen shrugged. "But since you admitted your fault, I will turn a blind eye to the fact that you planned to target my brother and sister."

Aaron kept silent, neither affirming nor rejecting the teenage boy's statement.

"So, since you've come clean, and we still don't know what kind of other tricks you prepared for the candidates, we should make this tournament a joint sponsorship from this point onward," Thirteen proposed.

"From now on, the Dragons and Phoenix Tournament will be called the League of Dragons and Phoenixes. This will be a joint sponsorship by the Monarch Clans, and the Central Government."

"No way," Claude immediately rejected this proposal. "I will not agree to this."

"Fine," Thirteen replied. "I guess the talk's over. I still need to inform everyone that

the League of Myths and Legends will start tomorrow. Thanks everyone for coming, I'm out."

Thirteen was about to stand up when he felt a pressure descend on his body, preventing him from standing up.

Lawrence arched an eyebrow, but he didn't stop Aaron because he knew that the latter wouldn't dare to hurt Zion under his watch.

"What do you have in mind?" Aaron asked icily.

After coming clean and telling everyone that he did play dirty, he was no longer weighed down by many things.

Also, Thirteen stated that he wouldn't make it public, and everyone in the venue knew better than to offend him.

Since the matter had already been swept under the rug, if there was a good way to start things over, he would be more open-minded in hearing it.

"We can still use your venue with the traps that you have set," Thirteen stated. "But the Central Government will be the ones to keep watch on the Wanderers," Thirteen replied. "No personnel of yours will appear at the venue.

"The tournament will proceed as per schedule... well, not on schedule, but things will still follow the groundwork that you have made. The Central Government will work alongside your team to make sure that this tournament is conducted fairly within bounds.

"I'm sure that you still have some dirty tricks that you plan to use, but it will be best if you do those things in moderation. Just like you can target my family members, I can also target

yours.

"While dealing with a Monarch like you will make people hesitate, dealing with your... son here, and a few of your family members will not be a problem. I can always use a Majin Scale as compensation for killing one or two of your family members.

"Also, I am good friends with the Earth Dragons. The good news is that I have found a way to let them leave the Rigel Continent. You should know by now that they were also there when I faced the Majin King.

"I am good friends with Laplace Demon, and he sometimes listens to my requests, you

know?"

Hearing the name Laplace Demon made everyone in the venue look at Thirteen weirdly.

The mere thought of meeting the right-hand man of the God of Wanderers, "The One," was enough to make people feel anxious.

However, Thirteen was treating the Laplace Demon as if he were some kind of customer service representative, asking for his help to help solve his problems for him.

All of them believed that Zion wouldn't have been able to kill the Majin King without outside

help.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If he really did it on his own, they would not have the guts to offend him ever again!

"So, forming a group to eliminate your brother and sister is fine?" Aaron asked.

"Yep, perfectly fine," Thirteen replied.

"You're very confident in their abilities," Aaron commented.

"I was the one who raised them, so I am indeed confident with their abilities," Thirteen

stated.

Everyone looked at him weirdly for the second time because the teenage boy was just saying whatever he wanted to say.

He was younger than Mikhail and Shasha, and yet, he boasted that he was the one that raised

them?

Who would believe such a thing?

Even so, the talks and negotiations proceeded smoothly.

After ironing out the details, the League of Dragons and Phoenix was born, which was now a joint sponsorship by the Monarch Clans and the Central Government.

Having achieved his goal, Thirteen left the venue alongside the Grand Marshal and the Field Marshal of the Central Government.

Although his plan to host a tournament of his own didn't come through, he was still happy

with the results.

Naturally, Lawrence and Tristan were also very happy with the outcome of the negotiation.

Now that they were part of the tournament, they would be able to scout and poach talented

Wanderers who had yet to have any affiliations.

This was the real goal of these negotiations.

Whenever the tournament started, the talented Wanderers would always be scouted by the

Monarch sponsoring the tournament.

With Zion as their mascot, Lawrence and Tristan were certain that they would get some good recruits this year, bolstering the ranks of the Central Government.
