Chapter 688 - Gladiator Fight - Part 1

Viona\'s heartbeat was rising as this was her first time facing such cruelty. She might get used to beheading her enemy and only suffered mild nausea, but this was on another level. She could feel her stomach churning, and she started to taste the acid in her throat. That was right; she was about to throw up.

—Don\'t! Hold it up and swallow it back. Don\'t show your weak side to him!

Viona felt the acidic liquid was in her mouth already, but she held it back when she heard Lilliana scream in her head. She did not know why Lilliana said that, but she followed Lilliana\'s instructions. Even though they got to know each other recently, Lilliana would always have her back. She kept her face straight and swallowed back what was in her mouth.

—I am not supposed to tell you about this, but I will tell you right away. Master chooses you for something, more than just his b*tch. Unless you satisfy to be his b*tch, then you can show him your weak side.

\'What? What are you talking about?\' Viona did not know what Lilliana was talking about. Not that she cared that much since she had sold everything to the man. However, if she had to choose to be his b*tch or more than his b*tch, she would definitely choose the latter.

—Master wants to create a secret force that only listens to his orders. And he chooses you to helm that secret force. So, don\'t show your weak side to him and prove to him that you are the right person for that. Don\'t give him a chance to doubt you, understand? You should know that Secret Force is. It is a force that will do the dirty work for the Emperor.

\'But he never said anything about that to me before.\' Viona responded with doubt. That was never stated in the contract. Furthermore, it did not make sense for Lord Tang Shaoyang to choose her to bear that heavy responsibility as she was a former noble lady, not a knight. Her background just did not add up with the thing called secret force.

—I told you already. He is currently accessing you right now, and your background does not matter. What matters to him is your loyalty and the fact that you can betray him. As for power and others, you can get that power easily with the world governed by the system. This war is one of many chances for you to grow stronger. Just make sure to show no sympathy and be cruel to your enemy.

Viona subconsciously looked toward Lord Tang Shaoyang. The man was talking to the angel and a beastmen with dragon\'s characteristics. Even though the man was not looking at her, she could feel his gaze for some reason. It was as if he noticed her gaze while not looking at her. It was a weird feeling she felt for a long time.

—That is Dragonewt, and you can say that he is also a dragon\'s descendant, just like Kirin. His name is Maldros, and he is pretty nice so that you can be easy around him in the future.

Many spirits did not even resemble a beast, beastmen, or even the demon. Viona wanted to ask those things Lilliana, but the time did not allow her to have a casual conversation with Lilliana. Maldros was right in front of her and bowed to her slightly. "My name is Maldros, and I will assist you in… Glad-diator fight? It\'s quite hard to pronounce, but essentially, I will make an arena for you to fight five knights at once. Make sure to win the fight and kill the knights to level up, Lady Viona. My Master has a great expectation of seeing your growth."

Viona\'s thoughts that were filled with questions went blank when she heard that from the Dragonewt. She could not help but connect it with what Lilliana told her about the secret force. Everything that Lilliana said to her made sense now.

"Yes, Sir Maldros," Viona responded solemnly. The Black Storm Dragonewt smiled and shook his head. "You can call me by my name, Lady Viona. I don\'t think I deserve that title yet." After saying that, Maldros walked toward the knights who were standing on their feet.

"Listen to me! I will spare your lives if you can defeat her!" Maldros raised his voice and pointed his finger at Viona. "I say defeat her, not kill her. If you kill her or even accidentally kill her, you will face something worse than death itself! Understand?"

The Dragonewt\'s voice echoed in the air, but no knights dared to reply. All the knights lowered their gazes, but they clenched their palms into a fist as they secretly glanced at Viona.

"Understand!?" Maldros raised his voice higher as no one answered him. All the knights immediately straightened their backs and replied simultaneously. "Yes, Sir!"

Viona was preparing to fight, but there was something that caught her attention. The limbless mages and archers were dragged into a different area. She was curious what those people would face, but she knew it was not the time for that. Lilliana should know what Lord Tang Shaoyang wanted to do with those people. Since she told her nothing about it, meaning it was not the time for her to know.

\'Focus, Viona. You have something big ahead of you. If I can be that secret force, then my children\'s future is secured.\' Viona slapped her cheeks… Having a position was much better than becoming a play toy for The Emperor.
