Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 648 The Issue With The System

The matches had been made, and during the break period, it was the time when most people would make their bets on who they think would win.

Throughout the event, multiple times their views had changed, and it was getting harder for them to predict things.

Many had assumed that no matter who the Demon went up against, he would win, but now the event was pitting the Demon against two of the Dark Faction students.

No doubt in their mind would the two of them work together to fight against the common enemy. The Dark Faction students had also all proved how strong they were in the events so far.

They were almost a level above all of the participants they had seen apart from the Demon. So now, it was giving people some doubt that the Dark Faction could pull a win out of this one.

”The people still have no idea,” Bubble smiled to himself. ”I have made a small fortune today with my bets due to my insider information.

”If people knew that a middle-stage warrior was going up against two initial stage warriors, no matter how strong they were, then 90 percent of them would select the middle-stage warrior; that is how much of a difference there is between the two stages.

”Not just that, but the real identity of the one named Jake…Thinking about it, if it gets found out, I might have to plan my escape route in case anything too bad occurs.”

Looking to his left and right, he was also wondering where the woman had gone who was by his side. He had been listening in to her conversation, and she also seemed to be quite knowledgeable.

He noticed her strange reactions as she was keeping an eye on Liam instead. He wanted to ask her some questions, but it was a little too late.

The person Bubble was thinking of was Anna. She had seen enough up close with her own eyes, so she had decided to head back to the Demonic Faction viewing area.

She didnʼt bother to greet anyone in the room as she walked and eventually went to Razeʼs side. She did stop for a brief moment as she looked at Brack, who was sitting in one of the seats heavily injured; there was even a Light Faction Physician that was providing treatment.

When approaching Raze, Anna wiggled her index finger toward him, as the two of them went toward the corner.

Sha Mo and Lince noticed this, but they decided to ignore matters, at least while there were the Light Faction members inside. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

”The boy with the eye patch that was fighting just before, do you know him?” Anna asked. ”And remember I can tell if youʼre lying or not. I saw how you looked at those from the Dark Faction before. I also know from Himmy that you were originally stationed at the Dark Faction academy.”

Raze knew that Anna could tell when he was lying or not, and he didnʼt plan to lie to her. The issue was, why was she interested in Liam of all people?

”I do know him; he is someone I was closer to when I was in the academy. Is there something wrong?” Raze asked.

”Yes, there is…do you know, that boy must have been in contact with Zon as well, or at least someone from the Red Fortis army,” Anna claimed. ”In the match, all of the skills that he had used, they were uses of the system.

”The system that is only granted to Red Fortis members.”

For a moment, Raze was going to deny that Liam had met with Zon; he was a Pagna warrior of all things. But when he thought about it more, it was a possibility.

When Raze had met with Zon, it was in another dimension, and in that dimension, Liam was present as well.

Liam didnʼt say he had ever met such a person before, but perhaps Zon had done something to him. It would also explain the level of skills he could now copy.

”I donʼt know if he has this system thing or not. Liam has never mentioned it, nor has he ever mentioned his meeting with Zon.

”But it is a possibility, the dimension I was in when I met Zon, Liam was present as well.”

This wasnʼt the answer that Anna was hoping for, and it annoyed her even more because she could tell that Raze was telling the truth.

”If you plan on rescuing that boy, and bringing him to the Demonic Faction, then I will do everything I can to help you, I need that boy alive, and I need him to answer questions,” Anna said, turning her head toward the door, as she could see another entering.

”What is this, are you all here to give your dear student some support?” Lince said as he gave a small respective bow to Alba, who had just entered the room.

”You know that we used to be wanderers, the Light Faction has some people that I wished to speak to, and yes of course, I want to congratulate ʼJakeʼ and support him in the next fight,” Alba answered walking over.

Coming over, now all three of them were in the corner of the room, far away from hearing distance of the others.

”I wanted to make a report. Cronker has been keeping an eye on activity going on in the arena. Several groups of people have started to move.

”He doesnʼt know who they are, but there are strange movements ever since the Single matches started to begin. He is ready and on board whenever you need him,” Alba informed.

Raze looked into the crowd; he could see they were starting to return to their seats, meaning that the next event was about to start.

”If thatʼs the case, then Iʼll need you to do me that favor that we talked about before coming here,” Raze said. ”Make sure everything is ready.”

Alba said nothing else and just walked away; Raze already knew her answer.

”Leaving so soon,” Lince commented.

”I have given my words of comfort, and besides, I donʼt feel too comfy with your prying eyes looking at me,” Alba winked.

”You should take it as a compliment that I am unable to keep my eyes off you,” Lince said.

”Yes, then you should also take it as a compliment if I remove the eyes from your body.”

”What the!” Beret jumped from his seat, but Lince placed his hand on his chest and shook his head.

”This is just a friendly conversation between leaders; there is no need for you to act out,” Lince said.

Before leaving, Alba kissed the palm of her hand and closed her door. Lince then looked to the other member of the Lost Clan that was present and gave a slight nod to him.

”Beret, It might be best that you let the physician see you as well. Who knows whatʼs about to happen,” Lince stated.

Right on cue, as everyone had comfortably gotten to their seats, an announcement was made.

”The first match of the second round will now commence; will, Mada, Ricktor, and Jake please make their way to the stage!”
