BXBX NOVEL Chapter 170 See... I Did It!
"Crystal Lumi has been disqualified," Kritz announced as he watched her try to get to her feet.
Overwhelmed by the influx in Sux and the announcement, she readily gives up with a whimper.
The moment she felt her body weight lighten and get pulled towards Hisha, she had her head down in despair.
Now staring at Hisha with his palm around her neck, she gave one final smile and whispered, "thank you."
Hesitant at first to unmark her, Hisha tilts his head and his hold falters.
[You can\'t back down on a rule set by yourself and with others being put in a similar situation and had theirs dished out]
Closing his eyes momentarily, Hisha lets out a sigh of disappointment and establishes eye contact with her.
[1 unmarked]
[Harem: 6167]
"Zui Mu wins the last round!" Kritz announces in a loud voice.
[Duel: 0]
[Number of possible harems participating: 0]
[Victories: 40]
[Points accumulated during the tournament: 200000]
Hisha whoops internally in joy at the points he had accumulated so far in just a match.
Zui staggers towards Solara, falling into her arms. "See... I did it."
Solara nods her head, pleased with what her friend could accomplish.
"You were great and that was some awesome skill you showed there!" Solara assures.
Zui\'s smile immediately dropped at the sight of a shadow cast over her from Alta.
Scoffing and not directly looking at Zui, Alta uses her wings to cover Solara and Zui.
"You did fairly well." She mutters, pouting and cursing at no one in particular.
This little moment had softened Zui\'s heart towards the demoness.
Turning her attention to Solara, she asks with amusement. "Was this the version you deal with whenever you two meet?"
Solara looks back at Alta and shakes her head at how petty she was acting. "You can\'t even imagine the numerous personalities she has."
*****
\'If only they could all relate well and take the time to grow in their skills.\' Hisha thinks as he watches the trio converse like sisters with contrasting personalities.
Clearing his throat, he gets to his feet and congratulates all who had given their best and successfully won and hoped the day\'s experience would teach the rest how prepared they must be to face a much more dangerous duel as it continues.
They all get to their feet in different rows and walk out of the exit.
Once it had been confirmed that they had all exited the arena, Kritz gave a final nod.
[Charm+5]
Before disappearing to watch over the harem as they make it to their various meretrixs.
Hisha sat on his chair listening to his tribal chiefs make several side comments and speak on what they thought about the tournament, with Vanas being the loudest of them all.
Hisha closed his eyes and internally clicked his tongue at the thought of Vanas being the way he was since he had not made any visible slip that could give himself away from the misdeed.
\'All I need is one slip, then I\'d strike and maybe then you could join in my collection of blood contracts.\' Hisha\'s lips raised in a smirk at the thought.
[You do like searching for trouble, don\'t you host?]
\'More like I\'d like to show them I\'m not the pushover that the original host had made himself look like to these fools.\'
The tribal chiefs had gotten to their feet and were ready to leave when they heard Hisha stop them.
With his hand raised, he calls out to all, "we aren\'t done yet."
Turning to look behind, Mich was the first to voice his concern. "We\'re not, my lord?"
[Charm+20]
Hisha was quick to hide his shock at the great boost from Mich, he couldn\'t help but wonder if it was attributed to the fact that he was the first under the contract that made him a lot more fearful than most.
Vanas raises a brow at the mannerism used to speak to Hisha, even though he was their overlord, they didn\'t feel they were lap dogs that would suck up to him at every word.
Draegul turned around and sat back down, not wanting to draw any attention to himself, nor was he going to speak and stress his lack of vocabulary.
The rest all followed suit, if Draegul the most powerful among them could be docile in a situation like this, who were they to dispute and cause nothing but trouble for themselves?
Carefully sitting, they let out a little chuckle and had their attention on Hisha.
Acting as the spokesperson as he had done at the initial meeting that had led to the death of one of their own.
Wae got to his feet and gave a slight bow to Hisha
[Charm+15]
This action could only confirm what Hisha had thought of the situation–the blood contract was by far the main reason for such a leap in his charm points.
Before turning his attention to the rest of the tribal chief, Wae clears his throat and smiles. "Lord Hisha, it is our pleasure to hear what you have to say to us."
Vanas scoffs but puts on a mischievous grin as he nods his head in agreement.
Finally getting the chance to speak, Hisha gets to his feet. Looking down at the servants who were cleaning the blood-covered ground, he let out a little chuckle.
"Since the last discussion we had, we haven\'t really conversed much on what we feel about the situation that surrounds us in general."
He turns his attention back to them with a smirk.
"All I need to know is very simple and I\'m hopeful it will benefit you all if you are willing to cooperate."
He leaves his words open for a brief discussion.
There was a brief murmur among them, as they shared glances at one another.
With none understanding why Hisha had suddenly brought up the topic, they subconsciously look to Wae to voice out their unified thought.
