Losa 11 woke from his drunken stupor to find the day already bright. Clutching his head, he felt a throbbing at his temples and a stabbing pain in his stomach.
The feeling of a hangover was far from pleasant.
Even though he often experienced it, Losa 11 found it hard to accept.
Might I die from some stomach disease?
With one hand on his head, Losa 11 pressed his other hand tightly against his abdomen.
Then, he began to prepare some hot water to drink.
Warm water could alleviate the pain in his stomach.
He had first chosen milk, but milk only added more burden to his stomach, far less comforting than water.
However, the moment he picked up the remote control, he froze in place.
The apartment before him belonged to Jason.
It was only natural for Jason to be here.
But why was Hera 10 here?
Simpson 2 and Amiel 3 were also here.
Losa 11 looked at these people.
They were looking back at Losa 11.
Especially Simpson 2 and Amiel 3, who couldn't help but show a look of admiration on their faces upon seeing Losa 11 wake up drunk.
As expected from someone who had devised such a "grand plan," even at the most critical juncture, he could treat all pressure and tension as trivial—what confidence!
Boldy 7 paused for a moment.
When he saw the admiring looks on Simpson 2 and Amiel 3's faces, realization dawned on him.
Has he disguised himself so naturally?
Even among his own people, he maintained such a cowardly posture, making others unconsciously let down their guard!
Losa 11, you're... truly terrifying!
As Boldy 7 reminisced about everything that had just happened, his complexion turned slightly pale.
When he suggested surrendering, Kole Hardy 8 hadn't truly objected.
In the face of life and death, what did dignity count for?
It was but a leftover sesame seed on the plate, one that you could pick up and pop into your mouth when you wanted to eat; and when you didn't, it was casually discarded.
The master wasn't the sesame seed.
It was the person picking it up.
When they became like sesame seeds, and Losa 11 became the person picking them up, there was no choice left for them.
This was the case for him.
And Kole Hardy 8 was no exception, only feigning dignity for two seconds before making the most correct decision at the moment just before the cannon was fully charged.
Renk 10 and Defner 9 had obediently raised their hands early.
They too had 'calmly' accepted their fates.
But what shocked them was what they saw afterward.
They saw the two escorting a group of 'Hundred Major Families' members into the Game Mansion.
Unlike these heirs with lower rankings.
These people were from the more highly-ranked 'Hundred Major Families.'
More importantly, the number!
Seeing these escorted 'Hundred Major Families' members, a terrifying thought arose in the four of them.
Soon after, this thought was confirmed!
A quarter of the top-ranked members of the 'Hundred Major Families' became prisoners of Losa 11.
Simpson 2 and Amiel 3, whom they had seen, carried out this action.
The four didn't know why Simpson 2 and Amiel 3 would serve Losa 11.
All they knew was that this Losa 11 was far beyond what they could provoke.
The only anger in Kole Hardy 8's heart dissipated instantly.
Renk 10 and Defner 9 thought about how Losa 11, someone whose familial succession ranking was even lower than theirs, had managed to do what they wouldn't even dare to dream of doing.
Whether declaring war on the 'Hundred Major Families' or commanding prominent figures like Simpson 2 and Amiel 3, both actions left them shocked and incredulous.
Then they looked back at themselves.
Upon this realization, a strange hint of worship surfaced in the eyes of Renk 10 and Defner 9.
But more so was respect for the powerful.
Especially the latter.
Like a seed planted in the hearts of Renk 10 and Defner 9.
Their feelings were complicated,
But the truly complicated one was Boldy 7.
He was the only one who had truly interacted with Losa 11, and for a prolonged period.
Seeing the scene before him, an unparalleled sense of defeat overwhelmed the seventh in line to the Boldy Family, so much so that when Kole Hardy 8, Renk 10, and Defner 9 were imprisoned with those 'Hundred Major Families' prisoners, and he was chosen to meet with Losa 11 because of his previous experience, he actually felt a sense of honor.
However, Boldy 7 was well aware of his place.
So immediately, the seventh in line to the Boldy Family assumed his role.
"Master Losa 11, thank you for seeing me on such a beautiful morning,"
"It is an honor for me, for Kole Hardy 8, Renk 10, and Defner 9."
"I represent them in offering our apologies to you."
"We ignorantly committed the offense of provoking you."
"No matter how you choose to punish us, we will accept it with resignation."
Having spoken, Boldy 7 knelt on one knee, bowing his head.
Simpson 2 and Amiel 3 glanced at Boldy 7, nodding slightly in their hearts.
Though he was a lower-ranking heir, his response on the spot wasn't bad.
No wonder the Boldy Family sent him to test Master Losa 11.
He was too inexperienced.
Both he and his family were far too green.
