Chapter 59 - The Kingdom's Competition

In the distance, Commander Jiang Yan and the man in the white robe watched the battle, both shocked, but the man in the white robe had a greedy look in his eyes.

"As I expected, you are hiding a great secret. You're trying to conceal your power from me. If it weren't for the fear of the sects noticing, I would have captured you immediately."

"My lord, that trash has wasted the resources and the pill I gave him. The Hajjazi family must be held accountable."

The commander said angrily, wanting to blame the Hajjazi family.

"It doesn't matter; we've discovered an imminent danger. Start the next plan. Tell the head of the Hajjazi family not to seek revenge now; the opportunity will come in the next competition."

"Understood."

Commander Jiang said, setting off for the Hajjazi family to warn the head.

Meanwhile, on the arena, Raed was preparing to leave when Hassan approached and said,

"Chief, you earned 100,000 gold coins from that old fool. It's yours."

"You won it, so you should keep your earnings, right?"

"Take it, chief; you'll spend it on all of us in the future, or you won't be the chief."

Raed was left speechless and took the gold. He examined Hassan's cultivation level and asked angrily,

"Why aren't you training hard?"

"Don't be angry, chief. I started over from the beginning; it's not that I'm still at the seventh level of refining Qi. Can't you see the difference?"

When Raed heard this, his eyes lit up. He reached out and examined Hassan closely, saying in surprise,

"You've become at least three times stronger. It seems this method suits you best. Good, work hard until we enter the sect."

"Understood, I'll leave now; the old man is waiting for me."

Both Hassan and Raed left, and Raed took Roma, Meng Meng, Sara, and Yamir to the Global Trade Room. He met the maid and asked her to inform the lady of the wing.

"Hahaha, the young master Raed himself is visiting me. What an honor for this little girl!"

After a few breaths, Shang Lin descended from the second floor and warmly welcomed Raed, but stopped when she saw Sara's cold gaze, filled with dread.

"Hahaha... Lady Shang, it's an honor to meet again. I'd like to speak in a place other than this."

Raed quickly tried to gauge the situation to prevent Sara from killing her, causing Roma to cover her mouth and smile.

"Alright... come to my chamber to talk."

Shang Lin was still terrified, but she led everyone to her private room. They stayed for about an incense stick's duration before everyone exited, and Shang Lin was filled with smiles.

Raed bought them iron clothing, and Roma chose embroidery tools to make clothes for Raed and Yamir, then they left for the family.

"Weren't you the one who cut off that old man's hand? Why do you want to treat him now?"

Roma was puzzled since Raed was auctioning a bone-renewal pill, which was suitable for renewing limbs, saying it should be announced to the Hajjazi family.

"This pill is a joke. Do you think a person like Raed will treat that trashy old man?"

Sara scoffed, having seen everything with her own eyes and knowing the pill was flawed.

"Hahaha, as expected from Sara; you know me better than anyone."

Raed kissed Sara's small face, causing her to draw her sword and chase him. She struck him several times with the sword, but the wounds were light.

"You deserve that."

Roma said smugly, mocking Raed as she took Sara's hand and both left swaying to annoy him further.

"Hmph, just wait... if I don't make you scream for mercy when you're in bed, I'll write my name backward."

Raed said angrily, then a lustful look appeared in his eyes, and drool fell from his mouth, but he suddenly felt his head ache and fly. It was Sara who hit him again.

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Meanwhile, Commander Jiang exited the Hajjazi family after convincing the head of the family, looking back sadly and saying,

"We are all being used; it's the sin of weakness."

Then he left, but inside, the head of the Hajjazi family sat weakly on the throne, as if aged, saying sorrowfully,

"They think we are fools. We all know the dangers of the pill I gave to my child. Even if he wins, he will just become a monster."

"I won't let you use us again. I need to meet Raed and agree with him before he kills us all."

The head of the family spoke to himself, then concealed himself and went to the carpenter family.

When Raed arrived at the family, the royal family had announced the competition, and the elder gathered everyone, saying,

"This may be a conspiracy, but we cannot resist it; we must go, or it will be an excuse to wipe us out. The family competition will be canceled."

"You all must unite in the next competition. You are all one family; you are the future of the carpenter family. I hope you won't let me down."

The elder said with distress, looking at everyone sadly, but when his gaze fell on Raed's group, it lit up and he smiled. Raed noticed this and smiled back, then asked,

"When will this competition be, elder?"

"It will be tomorrow morning, so you all need to prepare well. I've heard you had a good match; well done, but you need to rest well to be ready for tomorrow."

"Alright, everyone can disperse now."

Raed went to his room and sat thinking, then suddenly felt relaxed as Roma was massaging his shoulders. He looked at the beauty standing behind him, pulled her into his embrace, and said,

"Such a beauty gives me a shoulder massage; it seems I've used up my luck in this life."

Roma was very embarrassed and slipped out of his arms, quickly fleeing, making Raed laugh.

"You really are a rascal; you tease her too much. She's such a delicate girl. I hope you don't upset her."

Sara said quietly, looking at Roma who left in embarrassment.

"Don't worry, I won't let any of you down. Why don't you give me a kiss as thanks?"

Raed said, turning his cheek for Sara to kiss him. Sara was about to get angry and hit Raed, but suddenly looked into the distance and said,

"A guest is arriving."

Raed looked outside, got up, opened the door, and waited calmly in his chair until the guest surprised Raed.
