As an important person in the Hidden World, being an official in the Colden Institute which is the highest place in Colden faction, he is a person who everyone would flatter and please.
No matter who he is, even the Grandmaster is on good terms with him. No one would dare to ignore him let alone be against Mr. Tong.
Everywhere he go, he would get what he wanted and he could do everything. The one that controls the whole world in the dark, the Hidden World and being on top of that is like being a top in the world.
Even though, not everyone knows him as it is hidden but when one does, that person would immediately give utmost respect to him.
He squinted his eyes as he looked at the kid beside him.
"What did you say, kid?", Mr. Tong whispered.
Rin glanced at him and at the same time, the elevator door opened and he immediately stepped out.
"He ignored me?", Mr. Tong's squinted eyes widened. He couldn't accept it.
The bodyguards behind him were silent but were ready to take orders. However, Mr. Tong hesitated. This kid could be someone more important than him, he shouldn't let his anger cloud his decisions. Mr. Tong became calm and smiled. He felt very wise to think of that in a hot situation. He thought that he truly deserved his new position, an Executive at the top branch in the Colden Institute, in short an OFFICIAL! He really likes that word.
Rin went into the counter and it pointed him into the Level 2 room.
Mr. Tong furrowed his eyebrows as to why someone that may more important than him want to do in the Level 2 room but then he remembered that his destination was the same so he laughed it off.
Rin then entered the Level 2 room before Mr. Tong. Right after he opened it, loud screams and cheers entered his ears.
"Ugh!", Rin was surprised and held both of his ears but soon then adapted to the sound and calmly got down the stairs and saw hundreds of spectators around the cage, cheering and waving their hands.
When Rin looked at the middle of it, the cage, his eyes widened. He saw that it was already the climax and a fighter was smashing his opponent to the ground like a stick. He was familiar with this! In fact, he experienced it firsthand!
The fighter then glowed blue all over his body and threw his opponent away, hitting the cage.
Rin's eyes widened when he realized that it was Dragger who was doing his finishing moves and defeated his opponent! What a coincidence!
Everyone cheered at Dragger as his fist was lifted by Mister Yita. The stadium got noisier.
"Whoa! It's his now 3rd consecutive win and he just climbed from Level just yesterday!"
"Dragger! What a strong rookie!"
The people near Rin shouted, conveniently giving him context.
"No, he's just lucky that his opponents are weak."
"Are you serious on what you just said?! He just flailed Tank around like a stick threw him! You know! Tank!"
Rin looked for a seat and found nothing to seat on. There's no space to be found so Rin just sat on the stairs.
Mr. Tong, on the other hand, entered a VIP box on the top where you can see everything from there. From the start, he did not put his eyes away from Rin, continuously observing the kid and was surprised when he saw Rin sitting on the stairs but just thought, 'Maybe he wants to sit there more than in the VIP box.'
Dragger went out of the cage, the opponents were now tougher, much tougher than in Level 1! He couldn't fight five consecutive times here in Level 2 since there are many people who are at the First Stage of Focus and he was even lucky that he haven't face anyone at the Second Stage of Focus is very wise to get off the cage.
However, before he could get off stage, a voice from the speaker suddenly said, "I want to challenge Dragger here to fight my son."
Everyone went quiet and looked at the VIP box where Mr. Tong was at. Mister Yita looked and saw him too, he furrowed his eyebrows. He knew he couldn't go against this person even though Dragger was supposed to get off stage, he is needed to continue and fight.
"I need someone as strong as Dragger to test my son so if you would mind, can you please teach him.", Mr. Tong threw a confident smile.
Dragger calmed himself and went into the center of the cage while Mister Yita stayed out of it. He knew that Dragger have no chance of winning against Mr. Tong's son if the son is at the First Stage of Focus in Dragger's current state. He could only surrender if necessary to avoid further shame. At least when Mr. Tong is satisfied.
Mr. Tong smirked and said which was converted to the speaker, "Paul, get in there."
The crowd knew what was happening and was against it but nobody could speak up their mind and could only watch in silent.
Within the crowds, a boy who have a long tied hair tail at the back and spiky red hair at the top came out.
He raised his hand and spoke with his wide smile, "Here, I'm Paul!", Paul raised his eyebrows while his eyes narrowed. He wore a small black leather jacket with an orange t-shirt inside and jeans on the bottom. He looked like he was around 17-19 of age.
His body glowed blue and jumped over the wall of the cage to get inside instead of using the gate that was opened.
When he used Natural Energy, everybody including Rin knew that he was at the Second Stage of Focus…
