"If I like it, I won't give it to you." Zoe chose left and right, speaking without fear.
The Sandbone Group members wanted to curse, but were stopped by Blood Eagle.
He didn't say anything, just frowned as he searched through the pile of prizes.
"Why is it missing?"
Blood Eagle's calm expression showed a trace of anger: "That bastard tricked us into the fight, and now even if we win, they don't intend to give it to us!"
"Boss! So we—"
The Berserker's voice grew smaller, hiding the latter part of the sentence while gesturing with Blood Eagle.
"I don't want the Spirit of Combat to drift away, so I've decided to renovate—"
"What are they doing?" The audience's whispers once again interrupted the Platinum King.
Beside his throne, the maid and Reed were trembling like leaves.
Li Ang chuckled, the Platinum King had an amplifier, and if he wanted to speak, no one could interrupt him, but he wanted everyone to listen carefully.
Yet Zoe's antics and Blood Eagle's blatant disregard for him caused the previously silent audience to repeatedly interrupt the Platinum King.
"To renovate this dueling arena, once again... let the battle return here—"
"Look at this!" Zoe shouted at Li Ang while holding up something.
As soon as she shouted, she noticed an eerie silence around her.
No one in the audience spoke, and the staff were sweating heavily.
"I told you to keep it down... In others' eyes, you're causing a scene, like an absurd striptease at a social event, goodness."
The Half Elf's voice trembled, she had been warning them, but she couldn't suppress the Wild Cat and Xiaoniu's excitement.
On the main stand, the Platinum King stopped speaking, directing his gaze toward the Star Flower Travel Corps on the field.
His silence seemed to raise a terrifying pressure over the entire venue, and no one dared to speak loudly.
Dorothy already covered her face, not daring to look at anyone, shrinking behind Li Ang.
She wasn't too afraid of battles anymore, but she still feared this kind of scene the most.
"Uh, ahem. Our champion doesn't quite understand the rules, too unruly, uh, uh, maybe the equipment needs maintenance, often there's no sound..."
Reed wanted to maintain the situation while wanting to curse, never having encountered such blatant disregard for the Platinum King, he didn't know what to do.
The maids of the Platinum King either crouched or knelt, they knew the ruler of this sand desert well, and affronting him without someone dying horribly wouldn't quell his anger.
The cold glint through the Platinum King's eyes, squeezed by fat, fell upon the people on the field.
Andasu was also unsteady in her breathing, subconsciously hiding behind Li Ang, completed the motion, only to look at the Platinum King in realization, then clenched her fists and bowed her head, shaking.
The Blood Eagle's group retreated to the edge, among the crowd, only Zoe and Li Ang's gazes didn't flinch or avoid, confronting the Platinum King directly.
Li Ang had faced him before, but Antorus had already forgotten him, and now this bloated and inflated mass still believed himself the irrefutable ruler of the Flashing Field.
"...Forget it, prepare for the race."
The thick, heavy voice echoed in the throat and chest cavity, the Platinum King slowly sank into his seat, no longer speaking.
The pressure on those around him immediately lifted, Reed stood up with a twisted expression, trembling as he gripped the microphone.
They knew, this King was definitely not letting those people's offenses slide.
When he didn't pursue them immediately, it meant he had already decided to do something else, and by then, like a volcano before eruption, his accumulated anger and murderous intent would burst forth like a landslide and tsunami, enough to make the entire Flashing Field tremble.
The host began to advocate the preparation for the Platinum Race, and the dueling arena returned to its noisy state.
"Let's go, take a look at your ship." Li Ang patted Andasu's shoulder.
White Wolf's eyes lit up, nimbly and skillfully jumped onto the trailer, and expertly sat into the cockpit of The Howling Wolf.
