The ascendants Liam brought all survived with only some wounds, as the Elacrus family bodyguards were already tired from constantly being attacked.
So, it wasn't a contest at all.
The boat proceeded with its path, and Liam then started to interrogate Aurelius. "Tell me what you know?"
Aurelius started to narrate. After losing in the auction, they started ambushing the winning family.
With the backup they got, it turned one-sided; they overwhelmed the auction winner. But they were quick to run; they always succeeded in escaping.
He then got another backup, and soon the battle became a stalemate.
After a few days of fighting and many sacrifices, they finally got the World Seed.
Aurelius groups then split into two to confuse the pursuers.
One group rode a boat, while the other rode a private jet.
