*****

At this moment, the Will of the Universe nodded from the shadow expanse with a gratified expression. As expected of this brat.

Meanwhile, the stadium was completely silent. Before the battle began, several of the spectators didn’t know how things would turn out. However, as the battle progressed, they realized Max had the upper hand. They thought Kailen Darkhaven had been cornered and he would lose. However, the opposite has happened. It was accurate to say that throughout the confrontation, Kailen Darkhaven had just attacked his opponent and killed him with a single move. Also, he didn’t even spare his opponent. He killed Max.

This fellow was simply ruthless.

However, those who had read the profile of Max Uthort from when he was in the edge region of the universe were aware that in all competitions he had been involved in back then, he never spared his opponents. Even if he could spare them in battle, he killed them. This was when several glints of realization flashed through the eyes of several people. Perhaps Kailen Darkhaven had killed him because he was aware that Max would not have spared him if he were the one in Max’s position.

Kailen Darkhaven... So that’s how he was?

He was a calm person minding his business and focusing on his cultivation. But if someone made a mistake to threaten his life or even harbor such intentions towards him, he would retaliate in kind with swift decisiveness. The sight had been branded in the hearts of many.

At this moment, Flysparrow had an unsightly expression on his face. One of his representatives had lost but survived. However, the other had died gruesomely. Of course, he didn’t have any intention of pursuing revenge. With the backing of the Mayor, Kailen Darkhaven was not simple. Even though a powerful genius of his guild—an asset to the guild—had just died, what could he do? The Mayor being present himself here was a testament to how highly he regarded Kailen Darkhaven.

If anyone tried anything funny in the shadows against Kailen Darkhaven, the Mayor was not stupid. He would make a connection to Flysparrow because of the fact that a genius of Flysparrow just died. He didn’t even want to imagine the consequences of such actions. He would definitely lose his life, even if his guild did not get erased. What happened to CrimsonFang and company was enough of a lesson.

Several higher-ups in the city sighed. It seemed the Flysparrow Guild had been dealt a huge blow this time. Such a genius had been killed just like that. The road of cultivation was long and arduous indeed. A single encounter can lead to sudden death. But it was the fault of Max Uthort for targeting Kailen Darkhaven. Perhaps had he not harbored murderous intent, Kailen Darkhaven would have spared him.

Dexter and Dawnseer nodded at the same time. They didn’t expect any less from Kailen. But this fellow... was very ruthless and decisive. It seemed he was not just someone with high tactical and scheming acumen; his combat prowess had become very terrifying.

Arroeseek was scared for her representatives. Were they still planning on killing Kailen Darkhaven? As a matter of fact, could they even do it? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Everyone stared in the direction of Tui and La. The duo had looks of hesitation in their eyes. However, Kailen Darkhaven looked in their direction, too. His void-like eyes were extremely cold and calm, but it sent chills crawling up their spines.

"Should we drop out of the competition?" Tui sent a thought transmission to La. After what she had just witnessed, she realized that they had underestimated this fellow. In the face of fear of death, her reason kicked in. She didn’t want to fight anymore.

La replied, "We can’t back out now. No matter how strong he is, he cannot take on the two of us at the same time, right? Remember, he is the one behind the death of our friend. How can she rest in peace if we let him live?"

Tui nodded. La was right. They could not let Kailen Darkhaven live.

At this moment, an unknown person whispered, "It seems Kailen Darkhaven killed an assassin from the Insidious Assassin Syndicate. Apparently, those two are acquainted with her. They want revenge for the death of their friend. From my sources, they are also members of the Insidious Assassin Syndicate."

"Seriously? So that’s the case. No wonder Kailen Darkhaven gave them that look. It seems he’s aware they want to kill him, and with that expression, he was naturally inviting them to come up the stage and die?"

"Heh... this fellow is simply too audacious. I like him."

"They don’t call him The Reaper for nothing."

The statement of one person spread across the stadium. Everyone came to the same realization. The clash between Kailen Darkhaven and Tui and La was not just a competition anymore; it was something personal. Also, was the Insidious Assassin Syndicate not implicated in this whole situation since an assassin from their organization had not only tried to kill Kailen Darkhaven, but two other members of their organization had appeared again to kill him? Was it just a personal revenge vendetta of Tui and La, or was the Insidious Assassin Syndicate also sponsoring their actions?

The stadium turned extremely tense. Imagination ran wild. If the Insidious Assassin Syndicate branch in the city was involved, then what would happen once Kailen Darkhaven managed to kill Tui and La, geniuses of their organization? Would the Insidious Assassin Syndicate take action against Kailen Darkhaven? If Tui and La managed to kill Kailen Darkhaven, would Dawnseer and the Mayor take action?

It was unlikely. The waters of the Insidious Assassin Syndicate run deep. They had branches all across the southern continent.

Not even Dawnseer and the Mayor could offend them without paying the price for their actions, which inevitably was death.

Anyway, regardless of the outcome of the clash, a confrontation between Kailen Darkhaven and the Insidious Assassin Syndicate branch in Richtchard City was inevitable. However, the Insidious Assassin Syndicate had deep waters in the Southern Continent. Would Kailen Darkhaven be able to deal with their wrath even if he somehow managed to deal with their branch in the city?

At this moment, Dexter and Dawnseer exchanged looks of puzzlement. Who had leaked this information that was causing an uproar in the stadium? They knew it was not Kailen. They had just communicated with him through thought transmission. Also, Kailen had asked them if they knew something about it; they were in the dark as well.

"The Insidious Assassin Syndicate in the city leaked the information."

"This is not even about Tui and La. It’s more personal. Tui and La are just pawns to them."

Dawnseer and Dexter sent thought transmissions to Kailen. A glint flashed through Kailen’s eyes.

"They took advantage of Tui and La’s desire for revenge to stage a justifiable opportunity to eliminate me in the future. The spread of the information about Tui and La was this stage of opportunity," Kailen concluded. He had dealt with his fair share of schemes; he naturally saw through this attempt. He sent this thought transmission to Dawnseer and Dexter.

"Did you kill someone called Silence?" Dexter asked through a thought transmission.

A glint flashed through the eyes of Kailen, standing on the platform, waiting for Tui and La to come up. He replied to Dexter, "I did. Let me guess. She’s someone important to them?"

"Yes. Apparently, she’s the niece of the branch head of the Insidious Assassin Syndicate in the city. Only a few know about this. On becoming a transcendent, she left the edge region of the universe to join her uncle here. On the surface, she was a member of a mercenary organization, but it was not easy to know she’s a member of an Assassin Syndicate."

Dexter sent a thought transmission to Kailen and Dawnseer, who listened with realization. "After all, what’s the point of being an assassin when people know you are an assassin? To think she died by your hand. Her uncle probably had his ways of finding out and decided to eliminate you," he added with a sigh. "Even I cannot get involved with them. It seems you will have to handle them on your own."

A glint flashed through the eyes of Dawnseer. It seemed even she could do nothing about the situation. If the Mayor could do nothing, what could she do? Kailen had to handle this one on his own.

"If it were just a matter of handling their branch in the city, it would not have been a problem. But their waters run deep across the Southern Continent. If one decides to get rid of a branch or a leader in their ranks, they would stop at nothing to send more assassins after you till you are dead," Dexter explained why even he was powerless in this situation.

Kailen naturally understood. Contrary to what Dexter and Dawnseer were expecting, he was not annoyed they could not help him. He understood the situation well. They were being pragmatic. They could not do anything to help because they simply couldn’t. Even if they could have been able to help him, did they need to? It was not like they were his family members.

Kailen was calm. "Thank you for the information, Dexter."

"You are welcome."

Kailen sent a thought transmission to Dexter. A glint of coldness flashed through his eyes. He had weathered through many death traps and attempts in the light region of the universe before he arrived here. Naturally, his enemies were eliminated by him in the end. The outcome would not be any different this time.

At this moment, Tui and La stepped on the platform together.
