Chapter 1135 - We Accept
Liana narrowed her eyes but decided to ignore everyone in the end. "Hmph! Do as you wish."
Rean and Roan, obviously, noticed when Liana and the others arrived. Especially the fact that Liana was not in the same group at first. "So, they did arrive in the end. What do you want to do?"
Roan simply got up before saying, "Let's check out."
Outside, Liana approached the guard on the gate. "I want to talk with Rean and Roan, your squad leaders. We have something to discuss, so can you tell them that I've arrived?"
The guards looked at each other for a moment before looking back at Liana. "Do you know each other?"
Liana shook her head, telling the guards, "Not really, but they definitely know I came. Just tell them that I want to talk."
The guards were just about to refuse Liana when suddenly, a voice came from inside the building. "It's fine. We do have some relation with that girl."
The guards looked back and immediately opened the way. Obviously, Rean and Roan had come to see Liana. "Yes, sirs."
Rean then looked at Liana with a smile before asking, "We're taking a week off before restarting our work, you know? Is there a reason for you to seek us at this point?"
Liana then went straight to the point. "I want to challenge you for your Existence Pearls."
Venali and the others were taken aback. 'Is she an idiot? I thought she had some plan in mind, but she came up with such a thing? Who the hell would accept that? All they have to do is stay inside the City Guards' headquarters, and they would most likely win first place.'
"Alright, we accept," Rean replied.
*Bang!*
Everyone almost vomited blood! 'Accept? Just like that? Brother, why have you made us ponder so much on how to force you to come out just to accept it? Are you making fun of our faces?'
Well, the fact was that none of them had ever thought about challenging Rean and Roan. Of course, that's because they never thought the twins would accept such a thing.
Liana, on the other hand, nodded in response. "Good. I have 15 Existence Pearls with me at the moment. I can bet that."
Rean couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you have 34 just a moment ago? How come you have just this amount?"
Liana shook her head as she explained, "Those extra pearls were gathered with the help of my countrymen. I can't possibly bet their pearls on this challenge of mine. That's why I have only 15 now." It was true. Liana was just holding the pearls for the others so that they wouldn't lose them. That's how much the girls and boys of Tenke Country trusted Liana.
Rean sighed in response. "You don't really expect us to bet all our 130 Existence Pearls against your 15, right?"
Liana nodded, saying, "Of course not! I'll bet 15, and you'll bet 15. That's the deal. The loser takes all. If I lose, so be it. If you lose, you'll still have a lot of them."
Rean nodded after hearing that. "That's good and all. But what stops you from using 10 of those pearls to finish the test, leaving only 5 behind after we win? If Roan does the same, he would be leaving 120 behind instead."
With that, Venali lost his patience and intervened. "Wait right there! Why the hell are you even accepting this shit?! Shouldn't you just keep hiding till the end?"
Everyone else nodded in agreement. It simply didn't make sense for the twins to take Liana's proposal. However, Roan snorted in response. "You guys really don't know how to think, huh? There's still 4 more days before the end of the test. The number of cultivators reduced drastically while the number of pearls around increased. Simply put, there are plenty of pearls available if you decide to go after them. I'm not sure if one of you would surpass me in terms of number. However, I can accept her challenge right now and increase my own number of pearls even more. Isn't that perfect? It will guarantee that no one of you will surpass me."
Liana's expression turned dark after hearing that. "You talk as if you had won already."
Roan nodded, telling her, "Yes, I have. In an environment where Divine Energy and Soul Power don't exist, I'm almost unbeatable in a one vs. one battle. You're not my match, not that you will believe my words, of course."
Liana and the others were taken aback. That was some insanely high confidence. However, that also made them think about something else. 'Could it be that he truly fought Rivaldo?' That idea seemed ridiculous.
Liana quickly shook her head, though. "Whether you're all of that or not, it's up for me to judge. Just so you know, I'm also very confident in my combat ability, even without Divine Energy and Soul Power. Not that you will give up accepting my challenge just because I said that, of course."
Roan faintly smiled after hearing that. The girl basically used his own words against him. That wasn't something that happened often. "Obviously, I won't. Though, you haven't answered Rean's doubt yet. What stops you from using 10 pearls to escape?"
Liana then pointed at the City Guards, saying, "Them! It doesn't matter how important you are. As long as you set that the rules can't be broken, they will follow those rules. As for which rules, let's just give the City Guards 15 Existence Pearls each, and they can only deliver it to the winner."
Rean and Roan were surprised to hear that. "It seems like you investigated the city's traits very well, unlike those idiots over there.. Alright, we accept."
