Chapter 445: A Thorn In My Side, A Surprise
...
THUD!
"!!!" The head butler fell to the ground and banged his head against the floor before he slurred his words, "Th-That is not all, My Lord! I have learned that this man originated from somewhere in the Great Wildlands Forest!
After leaving the forest, he was seen in the Kingdom of AquaRing, near a city called 'Riverbloom'!"
The Great Wildlands Forest, huh
King Adam looked at his frightened butler before shouting, "Well, go on! What the hell are you stopping for!?"
"Y-Yes, my Lord!" The head butler stuttered before saying, "He swiftly left the City of RiverBloom after a sudden monster-beast invasion! He took care of the invasion before going to the Luminous Grounds-"
He went on to narrate the entire journey of Azmond from the moment he left the Great Wildlands Forest.
Most things relating to Azmond were pretty easy to find if one searched hard enough, so it was relatively simple for the head butler to get his informants to give him this information.
"..."
King Adam had his imperious gaze focused on the sickly man below as he thought over everything that his butler told him.
This man is interesting and a mystery, but more than that, he is a thorn in my side
I don't like thorns in my side, and just like that child I disposed of all those years ago, I will dispose of this man just the same.

Following the King's thoughts, he turned his head toward Queen Marina and once again saw that oddly infatuated expression on her face.
His annoyance grew exponentially at this sight, but he had to hold it in
At least, until his ancestors arrived, aiming to discuss the matter concerning the 'Mysterious old man' who claimed to be from beyond the stars.
After the survivors of the 'Tail event' returned to their respective organizations, they informed every senior of their plight.
And it was because of this disclosure that all the Half-Step Lunar Ascendancy Realm Experts decided to group up where it all started.
Namely, the kingdom of AquaRing!
Adam SubBurn wasn't sure on the exact date; however, it was expected to happen around the time that the 'Centennial Clash' comes to a close.
But before it reached that point, all of the representatives of organizations and their extended families would arrive on the scene.
Which meant that Adam SunBurn's children, his wives, and concubines would all be here.
That notion held true for every other ruler as well.
So, in around six days, every single ruling force and their families would be gathered at the Coliseum of Dacratas, ready to discuss countermeasures to the threat that was aiming to 'Rule Over All'!
****
Meanwhile, in one of the countless fighting rings, the threat in question wore a pained expression as he looked at his unconscious opponent with a victorious look on his face.
HOORAAH!!
The crowd went absolutely wild after watching the corpse-like man emerge as the winner from an overwhelming disadvantage!
Azmond observed the hundreds of thousands of people cheering for him as a wide grimace formed on his face before he fell to the ground!
"Arrgghh!! So much pain! Too much pain! Help The money" He shouted with blood pouring out of his mouth in great amounts.
Following this plea for help (money), all of the onlookers did what they always did, which was throw billions of coins in the sickly man's direction.
BING! BING! BING!
Trillions of gold coins rained down on Azmond as he quickly used his 'Healing Technique' to 'recover' from his injuries.
After pocketing all the money, Azmond limped away from the fighting arena with a net worth 60 trillion coins richer!
...
A few days passed by, as Azmond and the girls had successfully reached the top 500 without any issues.
In fact, not a single member of Azmond's party had lost a bout.
Although that wasn't much of a surprise, considering that every one of the girls was at the minimum, in the Fifth Cataclysm of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!
That was just what having the girls 'finish the prey' allowed for!
And it was because of this fact that Azmond had inadvertently created his own harem of fan girls, all nearing the peak realms of Asterion!
But regardless of that fact, he was left quite surprised when he saw that nearly half of the spots in the 'Top 500' had been filled up by his 'Guild'.
The organizers of this thing would usually be quite mad in this situation, wouldn't they?
I wonder why no one has tried to do anything about us yet
Azmond found the entire situation quite unusual, but he decided to set the matter aside for now and focus on winning this whole thing with maximum benefits!
Since the beginning of this competition, he had already multiplied his total net worth by one hundredfold, and he wasn't planning to end it just there!
Just imagining all the cultivation materials he could buy after this was done had him drooling
Meanwhile, in the VIP stands where Queen Marina was sitting,.
"Who is that man, mother? And why do you keep looking at him?" Esra asked with a curious glint in her eyes.
Marina turned her head in the direction of her second-eldest daughter before she replied, "I just found his matches interesting, that's all."
"...Is that so?"
"Yes, now stop thinking about nonsense and focus on the competition."
"Heh~" Esra giggled a little before turning her gaze back to the sickly man limping off a fighting ring.
Is that the man that mother was talking about when she said, 'I found a man'...? It must be, but why would she go after such a weird-looking guy?
Esra thought the matter over for a second before she realized something and muttered under her breath, "A disguise"
After she came to that conclusion, the way she looked at the man suddenly changed, as she became increasingly curious about this 'Azmond' character.
And she became even more intrigued over what would happen when her talented baby sister learned of her mother's little affair with her 'husband'.
Just the thought of watching this drama unfold got Esra excited!
Entertain me well, Azmond If you do, then I might give you a little surprise
She licked her lips a little while staring at the corpse-like man with a seductive glean flashing past her serene, blue eyes.
