Chapter 910 Drawing Lots
“You are but a Senior Grandmaster, and you dared to sign up for the competition? I’m not sure if you’re bold or
just…” Anne shook her head at Jared before turning to a well-built man behind her. “Andrew, if you happen to be
matched up with Jared, remember to go easy on him because I don’t want to see him get hurt. After all, I’m sure
Mr. Lawson would like to maintain a friendly relationship with Chanaea.”
“Don’t worry, Princess Anne. If he’s unfortunate enough to have me as his opponent, I promise I won’t even lay a
finger on him,” sneered Andrew.
“Watch your mouth!” Anne warned the man sternly.
Even though Andrew decided to keep his mouth shut after that, there was still contempt in his eyes because he was
convinced that Jared, a man much shorter than him, was anything but a worthy challenger.

louder than words.
Suddenly, Jared found himself shrouded in someone’s spiritual sense, so he trailed the energy and noticed a man in
a “wafuku” not far away.
The man had a long sword in his hand and was staring intently at Jared.
“Mr. Chance, that’s the Sword Saint of Jetroina, Ichiro Watanabe,” introduced Theodore to Jared.
After sizing Jared up, Ichiro withdrew his spiritual sense and looked away indifferently. He instantly lost interest in
Jared because he sensed that the man’s power was only that of a Senior Grandmaster.
“Andrew, do you think you can win if your opponent is Ichiro?” inquired Anne curiously.
“Princess Anne, Ichiro has nothing but his agility and sword skills. There’s no way he could best me since I’m
impenetrable,” answered Andrew proudly.
“Good!” In response, Anne nodded in satisfaction.
Before long, a host dressed in a traditional martial arts outfit and holding a microphone stepped into the arena.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the triennial international competition! The purpose of this event is to provide
fighters from all over the world an opportunity to prove their mettle. However, we’d like to avoid any injuries if
possible. In addition to that, at the suggestion of the Jetroinian delegates, we’ve added a team event to the
competition!”
The host then smiled brightly at the crowd before continuing, “The rules of the team event are very simple. We’ll
send the participating teams to an island, where Luminous Pearl will be hidden, and the first team to retrieve the
gemstone will be the winner. It doesn’t matter how you get the pearl because there are no restrictions. All you have
to do is be the one to return with the pearl, and you’ll be the victor. Be that as it may, friendship should be valued
above all else. Those who deliberately harm or kill others will be dealt with a penalty.”

Everybody at the scene was shocked after listening to the host, for even though he made it clear that nobody was
allowed to harm another, the nature of the team event seemed to encourage it otherwise.
The fact that it was Jetroina who suggested such an event made it obvious that the country intended for Ichiro and
his team to exterminate the other teams.
“You will draw lots here and find out who your opponents are!” announced the host before inviting the teams to the
stage.
When Jared and Andrew both walked side by side, the crowd immediately snickered because of how short the
former seemed beside the latter.
“So that’s Jared, huh? He looks pretty average to me.”
“Why would the Warriors Alliance and the Deragons give a da*n about an average joe like him?”
“He’s probably only as strong as a Senior Grandmaster, so what makes him think he has a chance at winning?”
Many took interest in Jared and began talking about him.
