1479 A Disappointing Twist
Castor's smile froze for a moment, but he still maintained the smile, "I thought you were going to join the tournament, Mr. Tang Shaoyang. Are you perhaps out already?"
Tang Shaoyang waved his hand, "Not interested. What about you? Ah, I forgot. You lost." Castor managed to enter the top 32 and lost not long ago. He genuinely forgot, and did not mean to mock Castor for losing.
'You have to be careful around him. If he can prevent the other participants from inviting you to a party. This guy must have a deep background, and he may be one of your strongest rivals. Someone like him will hunt you instead of hunting the Calamity outside the city.' Zara The Goddess of Death warned Tang Shaoyang.
"Between those four, who do you think will win?" Agnes changed the topic. She was sitting between Castor and Tang Shaoyang. It would make her comfortable to hear both arguing next to her. She changed the topic that might interest the two as well as her interest.
"Don't know. I don't know them and with this restricted fight, it would be harder to judge who will win," Tang Shaoyang threw the dried flying squid into his mouth as he watched the last four participants enter the arena. The final was about to start.
His neighbor was discussing that Eson would win the match. Sharing their wisdom of how strong this Eson guy was. As if they knew Eson in person. And he remembered Castor lost to Eson.
'If Eson wins the whole tournament, he would not be ashamed to lose to this Eson dude?' That was what he thought. Those were just weird thoughts he had while listening to them. It was just that hard for him not to think of Castor negatively.
'What's wrong with me? I don't remember being this petty?'
"Eson Artus Figueroa is our fifth party member," Agnes suddenly said.
"Woah!" The whole stadium was surprised by the betrayal.
"I surrender! I surrender!" Eson made the right decision. As soon as he fell on his knees, he immediately yelled surrender. He did not snap at Alderoi for the betrayal and that saved his life. It was clear that Alderoi tried to kill Eson if not for the referee's quick action. The referee appeared between Eson and Alderoi, stopping Alderoi.
A barrage of curses followed afterward. Eson could not accept the betrayal and cursed Alderoi. The spectators also echoed in agreement as the whole stadium booed Alderoi.
Even Tang Shaoyang was disappointed with how the final went. He expected to be entertained with an intense and close battle. But the final was ruined by the devious scheme from Alderoi. The four-way final turned into one Vs one final.
Castor and his friends were also furious with the tournament. They could not stop shouting and cursing next to him.
The final would be shorter than he expected. Tang Shaoyang checked the time, and it was still four hours until the trial started. Since it was one Vs one final, the fight would not last that long.
'At most thirty minutes.' He predicted. That meant he was there three and a half hours before the trial. When he thought the fight would continue, the head popper ended the battle. That just put the nail into the coffin. Uruwakan made an enemy of the whole stadium with how the tournament ended.
"I surrender!"
That was right, Uruwakan the Head Popper surrendered instead of continuing the fight against Alderoi Alder Acevedo. He did not pop Alderoi's head to end the final, but by surrendering. Just like that, the final for the tournament was over in less than a minute with no fight.
