Chapter 1130: More Competition In Sight

Why did Rean and Roan suddenly become jewelry sellers? Well, in fact, they weren't. However, they had helped the store's owner with the problems the outsiders caused to him a few times. As payment for the favor, he allowed the twins to pretend to be working there for a while.

Rean then turned around to attend to a new customer that had just arrived. "Oh, hello there. How can I help you today?" Yes, Roan was already ignoring Hedoi, and Rean also proceeded to do the same.

Gala looked at Hedoi and couldn't help but ask, "Do they have Existence Pearls, Hedoi?"

Hedoi nodded as he told Gala, "Yes, the black-haired one has 97 of them, while the white-haired one has 10. However, the fact is that the black-haired guy is exactly the person Sect Master wants to fail the test."

"97?!" Let alone Gala, even the other members of the Klacks Country were impressed by that number. Didn't that mean he had enough pearls for nin more people to pass the test? No, taking Rean into account, there were enough pearls for ten! "Hedoi, we need to take their pearls. We can't let others find out about these twins."

Hedoi shook his head after hearing that. "Are you all idiots? Why do you think they haven't left yet? There's a ranking board for the highest number of pearls each person has. I can bet you anything that this is related to the surprise Cassia mentioned about. There's no way I'll allow you guys to use the pearls. They're mine, understood?"

Everyone's expressions went dark when Hedoi said that. However, Hedoi snorted at them when he saw their expressions. "What? Unhappy? Unsatisfied? Then, we can resolve our issues when we come out of the Sacred Land. I'm sure your bodies will become nice puppets to play with." He was the strongest disciple in the Blood Path Sect. Anyone who challenged him had only one outcome, death!

Hedoi then looked at the twins and gave his orders. "Go check the surroundings. We can only attack if there are no city guards nearby. If you don't find anything, come back here for us to initiate the assault. If you perform well, I don't mind giving up ten or twenty pearls by the end of the two weeks. I'll need more of you to proceed to the next tests to help me, after all."

Gala and everyone else immediately spread everywhere. However, there were no guards as far as they could see. Of course, there weren't. Rean and Roan's squad were responsible for patrolling this part of the city today. As the leaders of that squad, they could definitely give them an order to hide, and that's what they exactly did!

Roan's plan was very simple. As members of the City Guards, the twins couldn't start fights on their own. They could only intervene or defend themselves. Otherwise, their rights would be taken away from them. They stopped by this jewelry store and asked the owner to serve their squad some food so that they could rest a little. In exchange, they would help with the store. The owner didn't understand why they didn't go to a restaurant or something like that, but it was true that he owed the twins for the help before, so he didn't mind. Simply put, Rean and Roan's squad was in another room, eating. 

Some of them asked if the twins wanted some help. "No, we're fine. You guys have been following us and have been fighting nonstop for quite a few days already. Just rest for a bit. We will help the owner while you guys eat something. If we need your help, we will call you out. However, don't forget that we're still on duty, so keep your armors and weapons close. Roan and I are only taking ours off so that we don't scare the owner's customers."

Such consideration! At least, that was what the guards thought about the twins' actions. The twins never ran from a fight when they attacked the outsiders. They were always in the forefront, helping their squad keep the losses to a minimum while keeping the city's peace. And now they were even thinking about their well-being? How could they not feel moved? "Yes, leaders. We shall take some time to rest, then."

And that's how Rean and Roan became jewelry sellers, even if just for a few hours. That's also why they weren't using their armors and weapons. It was all a lure to make Hedoi's group attack first. In Roan's mind, the more strong people he eliminates from the competition, the better. Besides, he had 97 pearls. Roan was sure that Hedoi wouldn't be able to hold himself for long, afraid of someone else would steal the pearls from him.

"Hedoi, we checked the whole area. There aren't any city guards as far as we can see. However, this is quite a crowded place. It definitely won't take long for them to patrol this area," one of Hedoi's companions explained.

Hedoi narrowed his eyes after hearing that, though. He would understand if there were a few guards, but absolutely no one? His guts were telling him that it was way too convenient to be true. 'Should I send these idiots first to test the water? No...if I do that and stay behind, there's a very good chance that they will steal the pearls and run away. I definitely would do so if I was in their shoes.'

Suddenly, Rean, Roan, and Hedoi felt someone's presence appearing somewhere else. They immediately checked their mind maps, just to see that a new cultivator had just gathered ten Existence Pearls. His name was Fulia Volder, the leader of the Volava Country's participants. As mentioned in the past, this was also one of the big countries given slots. He definitely had a lot of members to help him, just like Hedoi did.

That wasn't all. Be it coincidence or not, Liana also got her tenth pearl with the help of her Tenke Kingdom companions.

Obviously, all five participants with ten or more pearls could now see the rank and each other's location.

Rean and Roan didn't care about that at all. However, Hedoi definitely saw his chances of getting Roan's pearls slipping away. The only good thing for him was that the other two were still far away from their location.

Eventually, Hedoi gritted his teeth and gave the order.. "Attack! Make sure you don't let them flee, especially Roan. I want their pearls!"
