A round of applause rented the air once the joint performance was over.
An MC took over and started by congratulating every team that made it to the tournament. After that, he invited the main sponsor of the event who turned out to be the Dæd-Câds.
King, surrounded by his bodyguards, walked over to the podium and read a welcome and an opening speech.
Watching him on that podium, Anurak felt an aura completely different from what he was used to. The King he was looking at wasn't a student or some guy giving him trouble. He was someone a lot of people looked up to. The bodyguards around him were not even the ones he was used to. These new ones looked as scary as Lek's bodyguards. They were wearing black tuxes and looked like actors from an action flick with bulging biceps and broad chests.
