Everyone looked up.

A large shadow that blotted out the skies was cast on them.

The temperature rose to insane levels.

Then, eventually, they saw it.

A ginormous draconic creature with wings that blotted out the skies appeared.

The worst part was that... it stared in their direction.

A gleam of intelligence flashed through its eyes when it saw its eggs floating before the creatures staring back at it with terror.

So these were the ones who dared to steal her eggs.

A bunch of weaklings like this?

They had to die.

At this moment, no one could move.

The pressure radiating from the wyvern was so severe that their fear had immobilized them.

Even the proud Jiang Chuxian, Tyrexis, and every other powerful person at the place, were afraid.

They felt so tiny in the presence of this creature.

This creature must definitely be a rank 4 novice-stage chaotic beast, and should be a very powerful one at that.

What the hell was it doing here?

The creature stretched forth one of its crimson scales limbs, and grabbed the eggs.

An affectionate glint flashed through its eyes as it screamed softly.

This was when it occurred to them, and everyone watching the stream across the Southern Continent.

Everything Kailen Darkhaven had done.

It was all a plan.

Get others to hate him and target him.

Steal the eggs of this powerful creature.

Appear in a vicinity where several participants were gathered. Because they have grudges with him, they will surround him and try to kill him.

When they all gather around him, he leaves the eggs of the wyvern before them, and bolts away.

The mother wyvern appears, sees her eggs, before all of them crowded together.

Assume they stole her eggs. They become the brunt of her wrath. She kills them all.

Kailen Darkhaven... Why was this fellow so terrifying?

How could he even come up with something like this?

Also, what kind of madness was this?

How did he even manage to steal the eggs of a rank 4 novice-stage chaotic beast?

Was he not afraid of dying? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

This fellow was simply a madman...

But... had he not played them all like chess pieces?

Jiang Chuxian was the first to suddenly turn around... his survival instinct kicked in...

However, before he could run...

A claw containing a fire ball conjured from the wyvern’s principle of fire came crushing down on him.

"Nooooo!"

He screamed in fear. Was he going to die here?

He, a genius who had plans of dominating the empire in the future. Killed by the scheme of someone he didn’t even place in his eyes?

He had really underestimated Kailen Darkhaven.

His pride had blinded him.

The moment one offends Kailen Darkhaven, their fate was sealed.

Had he known this, he would have never taken on the syndicate mission.

However, there was no cure for regrets.

These were the last thoughts of Jiang Chuxian before the claw containing the fire ball crushed into him and erased him into smithereens.

None of the rest dared to move.

They knew this was their end.

Their faces were full of terror and regret.

They should have never targeted this Kailen Darkhaven.

But it was too late.

He had even manipulated a wyvern against them with a scheme.

How terrifying this fellow was.

These were their last thoughts before a large fireball spewed from the wyvern’s mouth and came down on them.

Dying screams echoed as they all turned into ashes.

The top 70 rankers in the competition had died together in a flash. Just like that?

A couple of people who had not gotten involved in the whole drama with Kailen Darkhaven, hiding away from the scene, observed with shock etched on their faces.

This was how they would have died?

They sighed. They felt very fortunate to not get involved with that fellow. He was like some sort of engineer of schemes.

Quietly, they retreated and went about their business.

If they ever met Kailen Darkhaven again on the island, they would just avoid him.

It was not just his strength that made him dangerous. He was too unpredictable, and scheming. One would never know what devious tricks he would use to kill you.

As for the audience watching from across the Southern Continent, they were very shocked.

What an unpredictable turn of events.

In the Insidious Assassin Syndicate, Insidious and company had dark expressions on their faces.

How did this happen?

They had just lost some of the most elite assassins of their Syndicate HQ?

All because of one person?

How was this possible?

"The moment he steps out, I will personally lead the charge to get rid of him. This fellow cannot be underestimated anymore," Insidious said with coldness.

"Yes, sir." Everyone nodded.

****

"So that was your plan all along," Julian shook his head.

Kailen nodded.

"We should climb the rankings," Kailen said.

"Yeah."

During this period, Kailen and Julian hunted chaotic beasts, climbing the rankings at rapid pace.

No one dared to cause trouble for them after what Kailen had pulled off.

"It’s The Engineer and the White-Haired Vampire."

"Run..."

This was the name the other participants had given to Kailen after seeing his tactical and unpredictable nature.

Also, many were calling Julian the White-Haired Vampire because they didn’t know his name.

The moment Kailen would appear, those engaged with chaotic beasts would leave the injured creatures to Kailen and Julian, then disappear.

Kailen and Julian would simply deliver the killing blow and hop to another location.

No one obstructed them.

The duo had become the overlords of the area.

It was also very easy for them to climb the rankings since the top 70 had been eliminated.

The audience sighed in shock.

Never had they expected such an outcome.

Two individuals from a city that had never won the Southern Continent NGU competition before were currently dominating everyone.

This was simply unbelievable.

Even Dawnseer, Dexter, and everyone from Richtchard City watching the competition could not help but be shocked at how these two, especially Kailen, had managed to overturn the situation.

This fellow was simply too adept at scheming.

Eventually, a day to the end of the one-month period, Kailen and Julian Seir arrived at the top of the rankings.

Kailen Darkhaven was ranked number 1 and Julian Seir was ranked number 2.

Two people from a backwater guild in a backwater city had won first and second place in the competition. This meant that it was the Dawnseer Guild who would be advancing to the intercontinental competitions to represent the Southern Continent.

This shook the Southern Continent. One could also imagine the kind of waves this caused in Richtchard City.

****

The Sostus Guild and several other powerful guilds in Everdawn City was in a state of tension at the moment.

Their powerful geniuses had been killed mercilessly by Kailen Darkhaven’s schemes during the competition.

It was obvious that they were making plans to get rid of him.

However, they wanted to monitor how the situation with the Insidious Assassin Syndicate would turn out first before they decided to act.

Kailen didn’t know that he had made enemies out of all these guilds.

However, what he would have never expected was the fact that at this moment, an Assassin Syndicate he was planning on getting rid of, The Lotus Assassin Syndicate, wanted to ally themselves with him.

They saw an opportunity where others saw the need for revenge.
