“There, I just gave you fast acting Venom. You will be feeling the pain in three’¦ two.. One..”

“AHHHH!!!! WHAT DID YOU DO YOU CURSED NATIVE!!!”

“You will die in 20 seconds if I do not administer the anti-venom. Here is a slave contract. Sign it and I will save you. If not, you will die.”

Elliot took out another vial and waved it in front of him. “This is the anti-venom. And you have 15 seconds remaining.”

“WHAT? YOU DARE TO POISON ME? PREPOSTEROUS! I AM A GLORIOUS PRINCE OF THE HOLY PHOENIX EMPIRE!” Jagor Tawlon screamed indignantly.

“You’ll be a dead glorious prince of the Holy Phoenix Empire in 7 seconds. Six. Five.” Elliot began his ruthless countdown.

Jagor Tawlon’s eyes bulged out in utter disbelief at what Elliot had done..

“Four. Three’¦”

“You’re making me waste one of my precious Revives’¦ You’¦ You’ll pay for this!!” Jagor Tawlon gasped with his dying breath.

“One.” Elliot finished his countdown.

WHOOSH!

Jagor Tawlon burst into flames!

A powerful and ancient energy whirled around his burning body and then slowly coalesced into the form of an egg.

“Huh? He became an egg?” Elliot stared at the blue egg that had appeared in front of him in wonder.

“Hawk, is there a way for me to forcefully sign a contract of some sort with him before he hatches?” Elliot asked hopefully.

[Negative.]

“Damn. Is there a way for me to take advantage of the situation at all?” Elliot asked.

[You can bring the egg away. Alternatively, you can destroy it four more times to make his death permanent.]

“Hmmmm. Excellent idea, let me kill him three more times and then force him to sign a contract with me!” Elliot smiled sinisterly as he grabbed the egg and quickly disappeared from the area.

“What’s going on? Why is that Elliot player so lucky? It’s only day two and he already got a strangely powerful red bird, won a Hidden Dungeon Challenge and somehow gotten his hands on Jagor Tawlon??”

“He’s probably one of the strongest players right now, even with that Himari girl and Hailey girl doing all their crazy shit. I’m going to place more money on him!”

“Exactly, he’s just lucky! And lady luck is fickle. She’ll leave him soon enough! As your friend, I have to advise you, don’t throw your money away like that. Now on the other hand, look at Himari. That’s pure ability, pure power, and pure domination. She’s leaving almost nothing to luck! Bet on her!”

“Jagor Tawlon is an Ancestral Grade Prince of the Holy Phoenix Empire. If that Elliot boy is somehow able to force Jagor to sign a contract with him using his SSS Beast Apostle System’¦”

“Not possible. His SSS Beast Apostle System is not strong enough to make apostles out of Ancestral Grade beasts like Jagor. The only thing he is able to do is to force Jagor to sign a universal slave contract. And I don’t think th’¦ WHAT THE BLEEDING F***?!?!?!”

The entire Diamond Sponsor VIP room suddenly erupted into an uproar.

“What is he doing?” Jessica Sands sat up on her comfy sofa and glared at Monkey King as though he had all the answers. “Why is he breaking Jagor Tawlon’s egg over and over again? Look! That’s the fourth time he killed him! One more time and Jagor will die permanently!”

Coincidentally, Monkey King had the answer for that particular question.

“He probably wants Jagor Tawlon to sign a slave contract with him. And he needed to be able to threaten Jagor with permanent death in order for that to happen. Look, Jagor’s egg is reforming for the final time. Once Jagor hatches, we’ll have a fun threatening session to watch.” Monkey King grinned carelessly.

Monkey King had no love for the Holy Phoenix Empire and its vicious citizens. To him, watching Jagor Tawlon die over and over again was entertainment.

Jul’Taras, however, did not share his viewpoint at all.

“What a vicious little boy.” Jul’Taras sighed. “I kind of regret making money off him.”

Monkey King almost choked on his tea again.

“That damned elf just made thirty thousand resource planets, and she’s expressing regret over a mere non-fatal act of threatening a stupid bird?” He thought to himself. “Truly being rich affords one to have the weirdest thoughts and life principles!”

“What do you mean you regret making money off him! That’s thirty thousand resource planets you won! If you regret it, feel free to pass me all of your winnings!” Jessica Sands exclaimed loudly.

Monkey King nodded in agreement and praised Jessica in his mind for being brave enough to voice out her feelings. He was sipping on his tea again when Jul’Taras casually said’¦

“Sure! Here, let me send thirty thousand resource planets to your account.”

PFFFTTT!!!

Monkey King, who was swallowing his tea, immediately choked on it! A little bit of the tea even dribbled out of his nose.

“Wowww! Thanks Jules! That’s awesome!” Jessica Sands cried out happily.

“Well! I hope you keep betting big on Elliot and keep feeling “wrong” over his actions so you can give me all of your winnings! HAHA!” Jessica Sands patted Jul’Taras fondly on her shoulder and laughed happily.

“I think I’ll be placing a sizeable bet on Himari Suzuki. She’s creating an extremely potent force in Japan. She’ll definitely make it to the endgame with most of Japan’s resources in her hands. No matter how strong Elliot becomes, I doubt he could go against what Himari is doing.” Jul’Taras analyzed the situation succinctly.

“You’re wrong. Elliot will definitely win the whole thing.” Jessica Sands said confidently.

“Oh? What gives you such confidence?” Jul’Taras asked with a smile.

“It’s because’¦ The Diamond Boon I gave him previously still has one inactivated component’¦” Jessica Sands smiled mischievously.

“WHAT? A 350-day Reverse Time Walk isn’t the entirety of your “Diamond” Boon???” Jul’Taras almost shouted in shock.
