The result of the ninth match is out.

"You're right, bro! Absolutely right! From today, Saleret officially becomes part of the bro gang, Ghost Eye Mad Blade, Brother Dao."

Liszt crossed his arms, at AAA Heavenly Kingdom Port, a killer-for-hire customer specialist, what does East Sea Brother One even mean.

Now, Swan and Saleret are temporarily out of contact, and communications with Mika need to be careful; everything is ready except for the east wind.

"That's quite normal."

Morison was playing a genuinely authentic arcade game.

Having fought Saleret before, Morison knew this guy was pretty tough; even in the tower, he hadn't shown all his cards, still a championship contender.

The game he was playing featured a super-realistic physics engine, outplaying all AAA games.

The structure was extremely simple, a transparent glass box filled with water connected to two air pockets, covered by a layer of packaging, and pressing a button would bubble the air pockets, trying to loop small rings onto the rods inside the box.

This ring-toss game was extremely popular around Narrow Sea, and the price was reasonable, fluctuating around twenty-two copper coins depending on area transport costs.

There were many versions: Narrow Sea Storm, East Sea Adventure, North Sea War, Mirror Sea Romance.

Sounded impressive, but it was just a reskin of the same ring-toss game.

Morison got his from a pirate subordinate, looked fresh so he borrowed it to play; the game machine's production date was last year, the version hadn't been updated yet, and the description on the backdrop was still about taking East Sea King Doringger's treasure.

Liszt had heard from Sharon that a classmate in Lostra was dabbling in board games; this was just an extension business, the main business surely being gambling finance.

Now it was truly uncertain how to face Sharon; having a lover wasn't a big deal, but having a legitimate wife was tricky.

Currently, he wielded the strength to dominate one-eighth of the continent, if he remained low-key, he could definitely take her around, and if everything went well, they'd head to Fen's hometown next.

Should he mend some rifts with her...

Liszt also had a bit of a headache; Nashano was constantly urging him, as if wanting to be shot straight into Pedan from a cannon.

"So tonight Alicia's affair will make the news, should we inform Celeste?"

Shadi remembered this and moved Sister Ai to Wind Anchor; currently, Lostra was entirely unaware.

"Celeste knows about Alicia's case; she followed along initially in the tower. To say she never reported it would be false; her superior was quite cunning, never taking a stance from start to finish, and even allowing me to participate in the world-class resources found in Mulong. This move, very high-end, it's a... willing prey scenario."

Liszt looked a bit gloomy, lit a cigarette, and observed Morison playing his game.

Brother Sha was the type to choose the highest difficulty at first sight; even in a ring-toss game, he only allowed himself to loop rings of the same color.

Liszt really couldn't understand how Morison did it; was the precision of this damn thing really so high? Honestly, it seemed like blind button mashing to loop them all, playing for stress relief.

"Damn it..."

Shadi also lamented these people's stench; this was the highest level of tactics, knowing what I want but not saying it, but under the dark currents, the treasure... would still lean towards the stronger.

But honestly, Shadi was relieved; because Liszt was a very crazy person, weird, you know? Sometimes, it felt like you were still talking with him, then suddenly he stops, flags a taxi, and leaves.

Sometimes mumbling about elector, not sure if he's really going to play this game, he might actually do it, but at this stage, he clearly can't play this game.

Thankfully Liszt wasn't mad to that extent. Fen, Wolman, Ox, all were people unfazed by mounting debts, they might even join in.

The distance from Narrow Sea to Summer Sunset Island isn't far, dying along the way would be a joke.

"Is that how it is then?"

Shadi hinted, probing Liszt's thoughts.

"Eh, this year Pedan came back, so I'll spend New Year in Lostra, all family now, the Empress is the elector, and as her Imperial Prince, I'll definitely support her."

Liszt scratched his ear, watching Morison's hand speed, comparable to 10.0 attack speed in the Soul Fighting Arena, as he somehow managed to loop a single color ring onto the rod. What a veteran.

"Did you think you could gloss over it like that?"

Shadi facepalmed; Rein had arranged Liszt at this completed level, far from untraceable.

"Doesn't matter what the mark behind Alicia represents, even if it's useless, can't give up easily; anyway, precise control is key, just at present, with Kai Deng messing things up, can't help it, just have to solve it this way for now."

Diaz had indeed disrupted Liszt's plans, but fortunately, things were still on track.

Shadi understood; the sugar girl inequality solved instantly, gifting something doesn't mean you have to give it, but you do need it back after breaking up.

Meanwhile...

Aran Imperial City.

September 8th, the time when adventurer's guild newspapers sold the most in the Aran Border; the papers were all about the Continent Martial Arts Competition, championship predictions, analyses of the top sixteen participants, exposing all backgrounds and gossiping.

Under the coordination of Swan and the guild editor-in-chief Justice.

Emergency content added!

Every detail exposed, Alicia imprisoned by former East Sea Sovereign Doringger; Saleret fled to the East Sea due to the annihilation tragedy seven years ago, ordered by Doringger to closely guard Alicia.

Then they listed a lot of professional literature, saying the whistleblower had an understanding of the Overlord Descendant far beyond the average person, even connecting with the most authoritative expert, a medical advisor from Northern Prison.

The most crucial evidence was the whistleblower claimed the Overlord Bloodline's hair was pink, which coincided with the prison's genetic research experts, solving a global mystery.

After exposing, Swan left immediately, who dared to stay longer?

But even he himself didn't know.

Big trouble arose!

Adaptation becomes distortion! Entertainment becomes nonsense!

These foolish editors wildly exaggerated due to political considerations, conducting platform business on someone else's turf without being careful—Alicia was a sensitive topic, the only way was to lean towards the Emperor's favor.

If Swan saw it, he would vomit blood.

Ultimate Evil Gate, uncharted territory.

After years of guarding, Saleret developed feelings for the Overlord Descendant; the reason Liszt could defeat Doringger despite his underhanded ways was thanks to Saleret's assistance.

Not as Swan expected with these editors writing about control via kidnapping, demanding higher stakes.

It became a completely different story.

Saleret loved her so much; barely escaping the tiger's den, only to enter the wolf's lair, isolated on an island at the mercy of Liszt's evil control; he fought across the East Sea to give her freedom, facing the world's fiercest desperados.

The murderous Heaven Port pirates, on Liszt's malevolent orders, still pursued them, crossing oceans, driving them to desperation; Saleret, cornered, secretly protected the Overlord Descendant, entered the martial competition, aiming to request shelter from the Sovereign, Emperor, for them both.

What a tale of heroic rescue, unjust condemnation revealed, a legend shaking heaven and earth, intimate and touching!

This was the content.

Beautifully printed on the paper, the vile adventurer's guild only placed it in the [Stories and Anecdotes] section, not guaranteeing authenticity.

In the bloody fourth round, it had reached the eleventh match, not yet concluded, while the newspaper was being printed furiously in the factory, and once the competition ended.

It would be announced... to the world.
