Chapter-78

Alan Jackson mentioned that he heard the son of Arch-Duke Abraham was also taking part in the event. It was rumored that despite being born into such a prestigious lineage, he possessed no magical abilities whatsoever and was merely considered a novice at level one.

Ekizu responded by saying that he had also come across similar information. However, it had been brought to his attention that there were rumors circulating about the incredible abilities of Sin Abraham, the esteemed son of the renowned Duke Abraham. According to leaked reports, it was claimed that Sin Abraham possessed the extraordinary capability of utilizing the Heaven Piercing lotus to its Third stage. While Ekizu couldn't confirm the veracity of these claims, he emphasized that the news had originated from a highly reliable and trustworthy source.

Upon hearing this revelation, Alan Jackson inquired whether Arch Duke had deliberately concealed his son's true capabilities for an extended period, purposefully instilling a sense of tranquility amongst the general populace.

Ekizu agreed and mentioned that there was indeed a strong likelihood of this occurring. Given the current state of affairs within the family, it is not far-fetched to believe that this predicament could potentially jeopardize the entire Kingdom. With the king lacking a male heir, and the possibility of both sons of the Arch Duke meeting an unfortunate fate, it is conceivable that the lineage of the distinguished Abraham family could be completely eradicated. Hence, it is plausible to assume that this scheme could be a calculated move on their part to safeguard the survival and security of the remaining members of the Royal family.

Alan Jackson chose not to say anything else as it would have posed a potential problem if their conversation was overheard by someone. This type of conversation held in public places is highly delicate and sensitive in every country. If it were to become known that Alan and Ekizu were the ones responsible for leaking this information, it would prove to be quite challenging to provide a satisfactory explanation to the King. Therefore, they decided it would be best to avoid any unnecessary complications and not engage in such conversations in public.

Sin had been closing his eyes for an extended period of time, surpassing the two-hour mark. Suddenly, he received a call from Eric, who informed him that it was finally their turn to head to the arena. Upon hearing this news, Sin promptly rose to his feet, filled with anticipation, and began scanning the crowd for the young boy from the Varun family. After a few moments of searching, his eyes met Varun's, who appeared to be equally eager and locked in their gaze.

Eric inquired whether it would be permissible for him to face their adversary alone again, seeking Sin's approval. However, Sin cautioned him against being overly impulsive or rash in his decision-making. In a display of united front, Niu, Gerald, and Eric all resolved to actively engage in the upcoming battle, pooling their strengths and skills. In the event of any unforeseen circumstances or heightened necessity, both Sin and Wesley expressed their willingness to lend their support and join the fray alongside the trio.

Upon hearing Sin's remark, everyone was taken aback. Wesley, wearing a peculiar smile that stretched from ear to ear, inquired if he too had noticed any peculiarities within that particular team. Sin nodded in agreement, affirming that he had an aversion towards the boy hailing from the Varun family, as there seemed to be an underlying issue with him.

Sin entered the arena with a gradual and deliberate pace, ensuring that all eyes were upon him. Despite being the final contestant to arrive, his presence commanded attention. And, as to his expectation, a wave of disdain swept through the crowd, and a handful of individuals couldn't resist the urge to taunt him. Mocking whispers filled the air, their snide remarks dripping with sarcasm as they belittled Sin's abilities, some saying he is acting like that he could possibly be the sole force responsible for propelling his team towards victory in the upcoming final.

On the other hand those who are mature like Ekizu had the unwavering believe that of Sin's teammates can win this match without any hitch. Wesley and Niu, who were both formidable on their own. The mere mention of their names sent shivers down the spines of the core opponents, as they were fully aware of the potential devastation that awaited them. And that Eric kid was exceptional today, who has some boost like ability. Together, these three individuals posed a threat that could single-handedly dismantle the core and emerge victorious.

Alan, nodded with understanding eyes, he said to Ekizu by emphasizing the impressive arsenal of cards Sin possessed. Even if Sin chose not to reveal his true power, his collection alone was enough to instill fear and admiration in his opponents. It was a testament to his strategic prowess and meticulous planning. In essence, the public's reaction served as a catalyst for Sin to delve deeper into the untapped reservoir of his teammate's abilities. Sin was giving his teammates to showcase the immense potential that lay beneath the surface. With an arsenal of cards at his disposal and the unwavering support of his teammates, Sin was ready to face any challenge that came his way.

However, after witnessing the overwhelming response from the public, Ekizu couldn't help but contemplate whether Sin had truly unleashed his full potential or if there was fake rumor about him. The murmurs and whispers of the crowd seemed to suggest that there was something more waiting to be unveiled.

Alan then informed him that Sin had not been given the chance to display his power and might not be able to showcase it even in this upcoming match due to the presence of Niu. Niu, on her own, has proven to be capable of winning every match they have faced so far.

When Ekizu inquired about his connection with Niu because he looks like familiar with Niu's ability, Alan promptly responded by revealing that she happened to be the beloved daughter of his long-time friend. This heartfelt relationship was precisely what compelled him to be present and witness the event unfold before his eyes.
