Currently, at one of the exits of the Colosseum, Isabell and William who had just returned from the location of the first stage of the tournament held were awaiting Evan's arrival.
" Hey Isabell, did you pass?, what number did you get ? "
William who was bored by waiting long enough finally decided to start a light conversation with Isabell who had been silent like a log.
Either way, William felt that Isabell had become cold and heartless as time went on, this worried him if one day he would become an emotionless killing machine like the ones in the novels.
" Hmm, I got number 3 "
" ... "
[Fu*k, number 3, how many coins he collected, I almost traced every corner of the forest and only got 14 coins, though thin, fortunately I still managed to get away.
But when compared to this harmless-looking little girl in front of me, the difference was disgusting. ]
After qualifying from the first stage, tournament participants will be given a number based on the number of coins they collect, the more coins they have, the smaller the number they get.
The function of this number itself was to make it easier for the organizers to prepare for the second stage of the tournament, in essence, this number was completely useless, so Isabell did not pay much attention to it.
But it can still attract admiration from many people because who has smaller numbers means he beats more enemies and is usually a candidate for the winner, but there are always some exceptions.
For example like William at the moment, he only earned a small amount of coins not because he was weak but because indeed many participants deliberately avoided him because there was some kind of terrifying aura surrounding him.
" Oh look, our Master has arrived, sir, we are here... "
When William had run out of topics while trying to talk to Isabell who was like a block of wood, he noticed that Evan had come from a distance.
She immediately shouts out to attract Evan's attention but as Evan gets closer, she realizes that her Master's facial expression is very gloomy and unsightly.
" Hey Isabell, is this just my feeling or does our Master seem to be in a bad mood ? "
" I'll give you one piece of advice, Mr. William, if you don't want to be beaten again, you better shut up and don't make trouble. "
" Hmm, well, I'll remember your advice, thank you. "
When Evan detected William and Isabell whispering to each other not far from him with Soul Energy, he just passed them by without the slightest intention of stopping.
When Isabell saw this, his expression became strange and he then said to William very seriously.
" Remember Mr. William, try not to talk much and not to make trouble, I warn you because you have always been kind to me.
I don't know what would happen if you infuriated Young Master this time, but I'm pretty sure something really terrible will happen, so just shut up and don't do anything weird. "
After Isabell finished his sentence, he hurried behind Evan and left William still preparing himself for the disaster that might be imminent.
...
On the first floor of the inn, Evan and his group were currently sitting at a table and enjoying their meal.
Although Evan was very upset because of the words spoken by Anastasya's bodyguard just a moment ago, he would not let it affect his life pattern.
" Your appearance today has impressed Isabell greatly, I didn't even think that if you were going to use the wolf in sheep's clothing strategy, I'm very satisfied with the results you've obtained at this time. "
" Thank you for your praise, Young Master. "
" Hmm, now let's move on to our real protagonist, is there anything you want to tell me master protagonist ? "
" W-what do you mean my lord, I did nothing wrong. "
William is very nervous when Evan turns to him, in fact his nervousness begins when Evan briefly explains how Isabell's method of dealing with his enemies was as if he was seeing the incident in person.
[Fuck, how could he know what we were doing when we were several hundred kilometers apart, it was impossible even if he used those strange eyes.
He must have been bluffing, right ! what he said was just a bluff to scare me into letting me leak the mistakes I made during the tournament.
Hahahaa, that's right, that must be the case, hehehee, you can't fool me this time around you heartless demon, whatever you do to me, I won't say anything, muahaha ]
After repeatedly motivating and convincing William himself, he finally regained his previous bit of hope and courage.
But it didn't last long, though, suddenly in the middle of their dining table was a light screen displaying all the shameful actions he had taken during the first stage of the tournament and this at once extinguished the flames of hope that had just come he's risen.
Every single thing that aired on the light screen was a moment where he tried to portray some scenes in popular novels and ended up with a very embarrassing tragedy.
Even Isabell, who rarely smiled, now covered her mouth with her small hands and tried to hold back the laughter as much as possible.
" Once again, is there anything you want to tell me master protagonist ? "
" What are you saying My Lord, look at him carefully, that person is definitely not me, I am an honorable Knight and definitely would not do such shameful things. "
" Oh, so it's not you, I'm relieved then, please, I was actually planning on showing this footage on the giant light screen that was in the middle of the Colosseum tomorrow morning before the second stage of the tournament started to serve as a little entertainment to the audience who were tired of waiting, believe me, I have the ability to do that. "
" Don't do that, my lord, if you do, my reputation will be ruined and maybe my family at home will also find out about this.
If that happens, I won't be able to look them in the face again, please Sir, I'll do anything as long as I don't publish the tape. "
" Hohooo, well, I'll give you one more chance, but if you do poorly in the next game or don't take first place, I will make sure everyone in the Silverash region will start calling you master protagonist. "
" Don't worry, sir, I'll definitely get a champion position for you. "
Without a second thought, William immediately agreed to Evan's terms because that was indeed his original goal of joining this tournament, now with Evan's threat having real evidence will only add a little more pressure on him.
" Hmm, alright, after finishing your meal, hurry up and pack up, we will leave the inn today. "
" Hmm...? where are we going Young Master ? "
Isabell asked curiously as Evan suddenly ordered her to pack up and leave the inn for no apparent reason.
" Today we will head to the castle of the governor of the city and settle there for a few days, I miss the lavish cuisine of the nobles. "
when Evan said that, he subconsciously licked his lips a few times while recalling all the delicious meals he had eaten for over 9 years at his home.
