Chapter 134 Selene 59 55 vouchers I rubbed my earlobe slowly, an unconscious habit I always had whenever something felt off but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. There was a strange itch beneath my skin, like someone, somewhere, was thinking about me a little too intensely. Beside me, Chloe noticed the small movement and tilted her head, her brows knitting together in concern. "Is there something wrong?" she asked softly. I shrugged, letting my hand fall back to my side as if it meant nothing. "I have no idea," I replied casually.
"Maybe some people at home can't forget me." Chloe blinked and looked at me with curiosity. "At home?" she repeated. "Do you live far from the arena?" I glanced at her and nodded slightly. "Yeah. Something like that, I live really far away." Her expression softened immediately, and a warm smile spread across her face, her cheeks slowly turning a rosy red. "Don't worry, Noah," she said with confidence. "We'll get out of here alive, and you'll see your family soon.
I'm sure they'll be really happy to see you too." She hesitated for a moment before adding, almost shyly, "You're such a good person after all." I didn't respond right away. Instead, my lips curled upward faintly as a thought crossed my mind. Yes, they will be very happy to see me. I mused darkly, because when I come back, their lives are going to get so much worse. It was interesting, really, how easily Chloe had decided I was a good person. That was how the world worked, after all. If you were kind to someone, you were good. If you were cruel to them, you were bad.
It was a simple, and convenient logic. By that reasoning, Adrian being cruel to me didn't necessarily make him a bad person, at least not in the eyes of the world. But Sienna? She was a terrible person, through and through, and no amount of justification would ever change that. In the end, I didn't actually care who the world labeled as good or bad. Adrian and Sienna were both bad to me, and that was all that mattered. And because of that, they were going to pay for what they did. When I was given another chance in my tenth life, I didn't want to rush my revenge.
I told myself I would take it slow, start with small flies, strip things away piece by piece, and savor every step of it instead of burning everything down at once. "Noah?" Chloe's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. "Are you okay? Did I say something wrong?" I looked at her and shook my head lightly. "Nothing.
I was just thinking." 1 turned away from her then, effectively ending the conversation, and lifted my gaze toward the arena ahead of us, only to freeze in place.completely taken aback I had thought the arena was massive from the outside, but seeing it from within was an entirely different matter. The scale of it was overwhelming It was so enormous that it could easily pays for a small pack territory all on its own, stretching wide and far, filled with towering stands and open space that seemed to swallow people whole I tilted my head slightly.
Just how big is the Crimson Pack if even their arena is this monstrous! Seeing the stunned expression on my face, Chlor let out a breathy laugh. "It's so big," she said in awe, her eyes shining as she took it all in I nodded silently, my gaze sweeping across the arena as i absorbed every detail While Chloe looked around excitedly, barely able to contain herself, a voice suddenly broke through the hum of the crowd. C Chapter 134 "Oh my goddess... am I dreaming?" the voice exclaimed. "It's even bigger than I thought it would be!" Both Chloe and I paused and turned around at the same time.
55 vouche A young boy stood a short distance away from us, glasses perched slightly crooked on his nose, his eyes darting everywher as if he didn't know where to look first. He looked completely overwhelmed, like a lost puppy dropped into the middle of chaos. "I can't believe I'm finally here," he continued, mostly talking to himself. "Last time I couldn't participate because I was too young, but now I can finally join. This is so exciting." Chloe smiled at him gently. "Um... I'm sorry to ask," she said politely, "but how old are you?" I glanced at Chloe.

Ever since we entered the arena, she had been avoiding people like the plague. Even when others approached her, especially after realizing how wealthy she was, she refused to engage. Some of them, clearly confident in their strength, had even offered to be her bodyguards, but she turned them all down without hesitation, barely meeting their eyes.
Sometimes, it almost felt like Chloe was deliberately trying too hard to keep people from finding out something about her The way she avoided eye contact, the way she rejected help even when it was clearly offered with good intentions, it was subtle, but noticeable if you paid attention. It was honestly a little strange, but I didn't dwell on it for long. Whatever secret she was hiding wasn't my business, and I had enough things of my own to worry about. The boy flinched slightly when Chloe spoke, clearly not expecting someone to address him, and then turned around to loo at us properly.
The moment his eyes landed on me, his tense posture visibly relaxed, and a bright smile spread across his face as he walked toward me with quick, eager steps, almost like an excited puppy that had just recognized someone familiar. "It's you," he said, his voice filled with excitement. I tilted my head, confused. "It's me?" I repeated. He nodded enthusiastically. "Yes. You were the person who fought those bad guys outside." Booked at him for a brief moment before nodding.
"Yes, that was me." Then, unable to stop myself, I crossed my arms and studied him more carefully before asking, "How old are you?" The boy glanced between me and Chloe before answering proudly, "I'm twelve years old." Most things in this world didn't surprise me anymore, but that did. I blinked once, then again, before staring at him properly. "You're twelve?" He nodded again. "Yes" "You've got to be kidding me, 1 muttered. "And they allowed you in here?" Chloe answered before he could, her voice calm. "The age limit to qualify is twelve years old." I let out a long sigh.
Even back when I was a general, countless people, men and women alike, had begged to join my ranks. but I had always been firm about my rules. They had to be at least twenty years old and skilled enough to survive. I never wanted young people throwing their lives away for glory or pride. And now, here they were, allowing children into something this brutal As if he could hear my thoughts, the boy straightened his back and said with surprising firmness, "It doesn't matter how young I am. I'm capable, so I'll survive." I studied him quietly for a moment before nodding.
"I see" I turned slightly toward Chloe. "Well then, we'll take our leave now." Chapter 134 55 vouchers Just as I was about to walk away, the boy quickly stepped in front of me. "Wait," he said. "Since you're so awesome, and you two seem new here, let me tell you how things work." I raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you just say you're new too?" He nodded without hesitation. "Yes, but I've researched every fight that has happened here. I know how everything works. Want me to explain?" I glanced at Chloe, who looked back at me as if waiting for my decision.
I didn't know what the boy really wanted, but information was never a bad thing to have. After a moment, I nodded. "Go ahead." He beamed. "My name is Miles, by the way." I nodded again. "There are two main parts of the arena. The inner walls, where we are right now, and the outer walls, where the real fights take place. We'll stay here inside during our time at the arena, but when it's time to fight, we'll be taken to the outer walls, where everyone can watch. That's also where the winners are decided." That didn't sound too bad. Chloe spoke up then. "When you say we're staying here...
are there rooms?". Miles nodded eagerly. "Yes. There are rooms, but they vary a lot. And here's the thing, so it's fair, participants have to compete to determine who gets the best rooms. It changes every year, so I wonder what it'll be like this time." As he finished speaking, a beautiful woman stepped forward, instantly drawing everyone's attention. The moment I saw her recognition hit me immediately. She was the same woman who had hosted the auction. If she was here now, then there was no doubt about it, she was the host of the Crimson Warrior Rite.
The moment the woman stepped forward, the entire arena seemed to fall into silence, as if everyone had collectively forgotten how to breathe. Heads turned in unison, eyes widening as they took in her beauty, elegance, and the authority she carried with every step. She didn't need to raise her voice or demand attention, her presence alone commanded it. She smiled, a calm curve of her lips, and spoke clearly, her voice carrying across the vast arena, "Welcome, contestants, to this year's Crimson Warrior Rite." A ripple of excitement passed through the crowd.
"As you all know," she continued smoothly, "there are rules to be followed. You will be informed of every rule in detail later. However, there is one rule that I must emphasize now, as it is the most important one." Her gaze sharpened slightly. "If any of you injure or kill another participant outside of an official fight, you will be immediately disqualified, and fined heavily She paused, jetting the words sink in before adding with a light smile. Tim sure none of you wish to pay such an unreasonable amount? People exchanged glances, some swallowing nervously, others nodding in agreement.
No one wanted to test that rule. "Wonderful," the woman said, clearly satisfied "Now, for today's dormitory selection, the game has been decided." Beside me. Chloe swallowed audibly. "I really hope the game is something simple," she whispered. "So we can at least choose a decent room" Miles leaned closer, his tone far more optimistic. Hopefully," he said, then glanced at me and added confidently, "but we have him, so it'll be fine 10.24 Mon, repy Chapter 134 I raised an eyebrow at that, giving him a sideways look. 159 55 vouchers What was with this kid?
He was acting like I was some legendary warrior who could handle anything. I might be capable, but even I had limits. The host smiled again, her eyes sweeping over the crowd. "Today's game," she announced, "will be gambling." For a split second, the entire arena froze. Chloe stared ahead in disbelief. "G-gambling?" she muttered. "Most people here are of noble blood. Nobles don't gamble. This is going to be difficult." "It won't be difficult for everyone," Miles said casually. Chloe turned to him sharply. "What?" Miles lifted his hand and pointed straight at me.
I didn't say anything, but a slow, sly smirk spread across my face. There were many things in this world that I might not excel at, but gambling wasn't one of them. Fate, luck, tricks, reading people, none of it had ever worked against me. Even the heavens themselves had failed to win. I smiled to myself. It seemed a comfortable room was already waiting for me. 宙 AD Comment Send gift No Ads Editorial board Editorial Board: Our editorial team works behind the scenes to refine each chapter, maintain consistency, and deliver the best reading experience.
