Dark Assassin Chronicles 20 Chapter 20

And so after two hours had pa.s.sed, the governor finally made his appearance in the VIP area and had roughly one dozen experts behind him who sat in the same area looking over the different sections of the stadium.

These experts were all dressed in luxurious clothes and all gave off auras of the Pract.i.tioner rank of cultivation. Each one of these experts controlled individual powers within the region and were sent as representatives to bid on the winner and to potentially scout dark horses as well.

Raising his hand to silence the crowd of over one thousand people, the governor had a large smile on his face. It could be claimed that just from the ticket sales alone, that the governor made a small fortune on top of the fact that this compet.i.tion helped the citizens of his village greatly.

With the small fortune made today, the entire village would continue to grow compared to others in this region who were still completely independent. In this way, it was possible for the governor's influence to expand even further so why would he not be pleased from the current results?

"I would like to thank you all for attending this compet.i.tion and hope that you all feel welcomed in this village of mine. From the looks of it, it seems that this compet.i.tion will be a fierce one that will be spoken about for quite some time moving forward." the governor said before continuing.

"Behind me are a dozen VIPs who represent many great powers within the region and I hope that they will make offers to many of these compet.i.tors. For those of you competing, I wish you the best of luck and hope that you will give it your all today."

Finishing, the governor gestured for the referees to start showing the first round of battles of the day by numbers. From this, all of the compet.i.tors present started to look for their numbers and made their way over to their section to await their turns.

Luckily for Tommy, his name was one of the lower ones on the list. This could be seen as the governor wanting some of the more dominant figures in this compet.i.tion to appear later on when the crowd starts to grow bored.

This was a simple tactic that really made a difference when putting together an event like this. By spreading out fights to where the top fighters appear later on, it would allow the crowd to experience excitement when they feel that the event would start becoming sluggish or dragged on.

However, to his surprise, the governor actually had one of the six cultivators appear in the beginning. This was outside of Tommy's expectations as he watched the fight closely. The cultivator's opponent seemed extremely weak as she started to charge towards the cultivator.

With a flip of his sleeve, it looked as if the cultivator was about to make his move as a small whirlwind appeared in his hand. Without giving the cultivator a moment to act, his opponent rushed towards him while trying to land a kick.
