Chapter 1480 Trouble Always Comes to Him

"They will die!" Agnes suddenly said. They in her mouth were of course Alderoi and Uruwakan. But he did not understand why she was so confident that both would die.

"Galez Cesar Torres is from a big faction, the Night Herald. House of Torres is one of the influential forces in the faction, and all participants from The Night Herald in this trial will come for those two!"

"There are a hundred members of the Night Herald in this trial. They participated in the trial to make sure Young Master Torres reached the last phase of the trial. But he dies in the first phase." Castor chimed in.

"Not just that. Eson will not stay still for the betrayal. He might use his people to hunt Alderoi and Uruwakan instead of hunting The Calamity. I advise you not to get close to those two, Mr. Tang Shaoyang."

The spectators left before the award ceremony. No one wanted to see these sly bastards receive their prizes after a stupid final. It was clear that Uruwakan and Alderoi worked together. Just like that, the fully seated stadium became empty.

Tang Shaoyang did not leave the stadium since he had nowhere to go. He kept munching the dried flying squid. Agnes and Castor also did not leave. They stayed with him for some reason. But of course, they were here not to accompany him but to wait for their party member.

After receiving his reward, Eson stormed out of the award ceremony. He left the ceremony and went to the spectator's seats. He was coming toward their direction with no injury. Castor consoled Eson as the man arrived, even promising to help Eson get back to Uruwakan and Alderoi. Something like Castor would do for sure.

"Who is he?" Eson noticed Tang Shaoyang and asked. He asked because it looked like Tang Shaoyang was a friend to the four.

"Don't mind me. I am just a stranger they just met yesterday. I am just nobody," Tang Shaoyang answered for them. He did not want to get involved anymore with this party. However, lady luck was not on his side.

The first place and second place in the tournament were heading in their direction. He saw them from his Chaos Eyes, and he felt ominous that they came toward them. Those two were certainly not close to anyone here. Checking the surroundings, they were the only ones remaining in the stadium on this side.

His premonition came true when Uruwakan and Alderoi stopped in front of him. He hoped the two came to provoke Eson, but no. They came for him.

"You are Tang Shaoyang, right? I heard someone trying to prevent you from joining a party. What about forming a party with us?" Alderoi extended his hand toward Tang Shaoyang.

Tang Shaoyang stopped munching the dried squid. He put the bag into his inventory and let out a long sigh. Deep inside, he was laughing to himself and even his spirits were laughing at him. Especially Avyn, Doombringer, and Afi. He always got himself into trouble even though he did not do anything.

He could already feel the intense stare from the back. Castor and Eson must stare at him with those hateful stares. He was just glad that Alderoi was not smart enough instead of making it like he was in cahoot with them. That way he could avoid the trouble from these angry mobs.

Tang Shaoyang stood up without reaching Alderoi's hand, "Thank you for the invitation, but I am not interested in joining any party."

"You don't need to be afraid of these two clowns, Tang," Alderoi was not angry that Tang Shaoyang did not reach his hand, "They have their people, but I also have my people too."

"Thanks for your concern, but nothing is worrying me. I will be fine by myself. I don't need a party," Tang Shaoyang turned around and waved his hand, "If you guys want to fight, fight by yourself. Don't involve me please!" He raised his voice before leaving the stadium.

"It's unfortunate that we can't make a connection to The Dragon Realm through him. But it's worth a try," Alderoi muttered in a low voice. That was right, Alderoi mistook Tang Shaoyang for the Dragon Realm. Not just him, but everyone who tried to get close to Tang Shaoyang. The reason was simple, because of how strong Tang Shaoyang's dragon aura was. The aura was so pure that made them mistake him for someone from the Dragon Realm.

As he got outside the stadium, he took out the bag of dried flying squid. He munched them as he went back to his lodging. He did not really know where to go. Thanks to Alderoi and Uruwakan's scheme, he still had four hours to waste before the trial started. With nowhere to go, he went back to his lodging.

To his surprise, his lodging was empty. He thought there would be people here, drinking while waiting for the trial. There was only one person on the counter, and that person was not a participant. She wore the Admin Assistant's uniform. From the back, he seemed to know her.

"You haven't returned for two days. You make me worry, Sir," The muscular cook who gave him a free sandwich called out. The person on the counter turned around, and she was indeed someone Tang Shaoyang knew, Ira.

"What are you doing here? Don't you have to prepare for the trial?" Ira sounded confused.

Tang Shaoyang took a seat next to Ira while munching the squid, "I have been ready since two days ago. Can you make coffee and put it in the bottle, Sir? I think I may need that for hunting."

"Aye. I will prepare the coffee for a week." The cook smiled and nodded before returning to the kitchen.

Ira rolled her eyes and thought, 'Who needs a coffee to hunt a Calamity?'

"That's not what I mean by getting ready. The trial will start soon, why don't you get ready at the gate? Don't you want to go first?"

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow, "What are you talking about? It's still four hours until the trial starts. That's not funny even for a joke."

Ira tapped her forehead lightly, "Ah, right. I forgot you are a bumpkin and loner. You have no friends, and you don't try to get information from the people who know about the trial as well. The trial will start half an hour after the tournament whether the tournament finishes early or later."

Tang Shaoyang frowned deeper and immediately checked the timer.

[00:12:07]

He walked around in the city like a lost child early before deciding to go back to his lodging for coffee. Just as Ira said, it was twelve minutes until the trial started.
