(Old woman, you lied to me!)
Indara couldn't help but bite her lip and look at her mother.
Indara was worried about all the gifts and attention that Arthur attracted from rich women and expressed her concern to Nataly looking for money, as she also wanted to give Arthur something, however, Nataly didn't give her anything, instead, she hit her.
'Silly girl, Liam must be fed up with women, if you're the same I'm sure that instead of liking him he'll dislike him, he just acts like always, trust me...'
This was Nataly's advice since she also thought the same as Libe, of course, such advice was only an excuse not to give Indara more allowance, this girl will undoubtedly spend the money on something stupid, and not to mention that Nataly was stingy with her daughter and that this was his true purpose.
Indara believed her and thought she made sense, now that she saw how effective the gifts were, she had a dangerous gleam in her eyes.
"..."
Nataly looked away from her and sweat ran down her cheek, she couldn't with her daughter's eyes blame her.
The preparations were ready and the group immediately left for the Deus Ex Machina branch, because the Lupine Family was located in another city, Arthur was going to use the space transport located in the company and thus arrived on time for the duel, since that if they used the plane it would take approximately 5 hours to arrive.
"Welcome, Vice President..."
The trip was fast and the group arrived at the Ciudad Lindel branch, a friendly employee greeted them and soon they left the branch...
Lindel City Unlike Lingi City, Lindel is a commercial city with a Bay for ships from other continents and one of the closest cities to the central continent.
The strategic importance of this city is important for the country, so there was also an army naval port...
Unfortunately, it didn't have a Dungeon like Lingi City, so aside from the army, the number of mercenaries couldn't compare to Lingi City.
Of course, the group wasn't here to sightsee, after getting into the waiting limousine, they headed straight for the Lupine residence.
As a family on the same level as the Astariet, the Lupine Family also enjoyed a huge fortune and of course, large lands where their Mansion was located.
Arthur narrowed his eyes at the huge Mansion whose size could only be surpassed by the Van Pantohime Mansion, for a Mainland Human Family such an extravagant house was too much.
"Reporters?"
Investigates was confused, in front of the Lupine mansion, there was a group of reporters and journalists, and each one of them got excited when they saw the Limousine appear with the Deus Ex Machina logo.
But this was to be expected since these reporters were here for the duel and because Ladies of War Industries invited them to present their new product and discredit Deus Ex Machina...
(Fools)
Of course for Arthur this couldn't be better, since he didn't have to lift a finger and these women did what he predicted, Level Upper is terrifying after all.
"Mr. Elias!"
"A few words please..."
"Lynne Astariet? Is it an association?"
"Please a minute of your time!"
The moment Arthur and company got out of the limousine, the reporters quickly closed in, fortunately, the Lupine family had assigned bodyguards for this situation so using force as a wall, these bodyguards cleared a free path for Arthur and company to Enterokay.
"Welcome to my humble home..."
This mansion was not 'humble' at all, even so, Anai went out to greet them, behind her was Alejandro, Sara, and a girl Arthur hadn't seen.
Anai looked at the group, she was not surprised that the Astariet accompanied Arthur until she fell on Arthur, her eyes lit up slightly before recovering and talking to Elias and Nataly inviting the group inside, this left the reporters sad although they already expected this result...
Alejandro on the other hand was smiling coldly, sticking his tongue out at him and occasionally at Arthur with a look.
He was quite confident despite being weak, this made Arthur interested.
What tricks does he have to give you this confidence?
Arthur even with his core magic power sealed from him is stronger than Indara, this was obvious to everyone and it was Sara's concern and why she tried to stop the duel.
(Interesting, I'll play around a bit)
Regardless of what they're hiding, Arthur doesn't care, he'll wait for her to use all of his tricks and then crush his confidence.
"Hahaha"
But while Arthur analyzed, the girl who was next to Alejandro smiled and seemed quite childish and at the same time pure.
The introductions soon ended and moved on to the main subject.
"This time it's our fault, I apologize for the treatment received from my son..."
"Hm? Is that so? We still won't stop the duel for an apology."
"Of course, the duel will continue"
Anai knew that an apology was too late so she continued anyway, Elías and Nataly were surprised by this, Anai's main priority should be to cancel the duel, but they were wrong...
"So please, I invite you all to the dueling field…"
The group quickly arrived at the dueling field, however in the stands, there were already quite a few people waiting for the duel and as Arthur expected, the rival company was present.
After all, it would be impossible for them to miss this opportunity to discredit them, they wanted to return to the top where Deus Ex Machina lowered them.
I wanted to be the technology leader again.
(Hmm?)
And also in the crowd was a person that Arthur never thought would be there due to the last incident.
" Hello Brother "
From the rostrum Hayin greeted Arthur, Libe who was behind Arthur opened her eyes.
(What the fuck?! How the fuck did he do it?)
Sometimes the fate and luck of the FMC are too powerful, Hayin who was the start of this conflict was supposed to be detested by the Lupine Family and even Alejandro left her last time, but here she was now again.
(Ah I understand...)
However, after seeing a handsome man in a Ladies of War Industries uniform, Libe understood.
As long as there is an MC, FMCs will be attracted to each other or vice versa and as they go on adventures together, FMCs will be able to win over these MCs.
And with this logic, it wouldn't be strange if Hayin seduced that handsome man in uniform.
(Stinks...)
And Libe was right because Arthur's nose itched because of Hayin's smell, this woman's smell was more and more disgusting, and the number of men who left her scent on her body increased.
On the other hand, Elias made eye contact with the Vice President of Ladies Of War Industries, this middle-aged woman...
"You still don't give up Aurora? Because you keep trying to get in our way, you already lost"
"Give up? Lose? These words are not in our Elias dictionary, it is you who do not understand"
Deus Ex Machina as a newcomer who overthrew them, Aurora had invested her future in this company and could not allow Ladies Of War Industries to be left behind and lose the credibility of the government.
"You don't understand Aurora, you can't win, we are superior..."
"That's the past! Now is the present, don't think that winning the national championship and being part of national security can limit us, we will take back what is ours"
Aurora viciously glared at Elias and forcefully declared, as one of the leading technology companies, Ladies of War Industries is the one that three years ago held the position that Deus Ex Machina now enjoys, this newcomer who came out of nowhere and won the government contract.
"Do what you want..."
Elias didn't argue anymore, facing the mother of Technology, Akagi.
Ladies of War Industries is just a small branch, nothing more, therefore I couldn't beat Arthur, it was impossible.
It was the poor fight of an ignorant loser.
"Hmph! When this duel is over, you won't be able to maintain that expression Elias, even if your son is strong, he won't win."
Aurora was confident with her new invention, Deus ex Machina was destined to lose today.
"..."
Elias no longer speaks and just looks at the battlefield.
-----------------
The minutes passed and the protagonists of this duel entered the battlefield...
They both looked at each other and waited for the start of the battle.
"If you want to resign you can do it now, I will accept if your family allows me port control..."
Controlling the port of this city is undoubtedly one of the big cakes since every day hundreds and even thousands of ships embark daily, business in the central continent is astronomical, and having this under the control of Deus Ex Machina will greatly facilitate exports.
"Giving up? Hahaha, funny, when I'm done with you I'll wipe that smirk off your face, you're just a cheeky pretty face! A fox!"
Alejandro clenched his fists, thus hoping to crush his opponent, imagining himself crushing the face of this hateful man, he couldn't help but smile coldly.
(Fox? Well, I won't deny it)
Arthur is a fox, so it is not an insult to him, on the contrary, he is a compliment.
Still, he shrugged, since his opponent wasn't willing to give in, so he'll do it the hard way...
"Gentlemen, please activate your Wunder!"
The tension is high, so the referee for this duel raised his hand.
*Shiiiiiii
Alexander was the first to move, his Wunder materialized and large floating cannons appeared floating around him, likewise, the white exoskeleton covered his body, and a spear formed in his hands.
"WunderPixel!"
This was the name of this armor, those present opened their mouths in surprise at the sight of this technological monster, at a glance the master pilots could see the extraordinary warmth of this Wunder.
Aurora also felt very good about this, as well as she smiled to herself...
(This is just the beginning)
There was something else behind this Wunder that Aurora relied on to win.
"What do you think? Are you scared now? I'm telling you but this model far exceeds your company's Wunder XRG"
"That's how it is?"
Elias replied without emotion, as although this Wunder is impressive, he couldn't see how this machine could win against his newly built baby.
Also...
"But the XRG model is a mass-produced armor for military use, it's not the best of Deus ex Machina, we still have the custom models..."
So the best was yet to come...
"Huh?"
Of course, Aurora knew what Elias was referring to, however, she didn't think that Deus Ex Machina will still manage this type of policy and the effect was better when Arthur's Wunder materialized...
