Chapter 4507
The crowd became increasingly stirred after that was mentioned.
To them, any form of competition must be based on the world of cultivators' integrity.
Sergio had been so ruthless that anyone who fought him would either die or suffer serious
injuries. Was that kind of person worthy of getting first place?
Upon seeing the situation, the eunuch had a bitter expression on his face and said slowly,
"Everyone be quiet. These are the rules of this competition. There's no use in objecting."
He was irked that those people could not accept their defeat.
Sergio had a look of disdain on his face as well. 'You're calling me ruthless? Don't you
know that there's always risks to a fight? You shouldn't have joined the competition if
you're so afraid of death.'
The contestants made another fuss after hearing the eunuch's remark.
Morticia could not stand it any longer and stood up slowly. She glanced across the crowd
and said, "The purpose of this competition is to choose strong, powerful people to serve
the royals. Only the strong deserve respect. Being kind wont get you anywhere.
"I now hereby make the official announcement to confer first place to Sergio. There is no
need for any further objections."

Her sweet-sounding and authoritative voice resonated throughout the entire prayer hall.
The hall went silent when Morticia spoke. No one dared to object because they knew that
the beautiful woman in front of them was dangerous despite her good looks. Many people
knew that she came from the fiend race. After all, news of her control over the South
Cloud World's queen had spread to the entire world.
Morticia did not beat around the bush and continued, “That is all! I hereby declare Sergio
as a Great General and a first-rank official."
After saying that, she looked at Sergio and said softly, "I hope you'll do your duty faithfully
in the future."
Sergio was overjoyed to hearthat and immediately bowed to thank Morticia. "Thank you,
Your Excellency."
He perceived the fiend soul within that beautiful woman's body-a clear indication that she
came from the fiends. Although the Queen was present, the woman in front of him was the
one who wielded true authority. He was actually a little afraid of the fiend race, but if he
were to look at it from another perspective, he would not need to be afraid of
encountering Darryl anymore if he joined the fiends.
Morticia nodded. Her elegant face remained emotionless and she ordered the eunuch
beside her, "Prepare a banquet right away. Today's competition was incredibly exciting and
I want to treat the participating warriors well."
"Yes, Your Excellency," the eunuch answered as soon as he received her order and went
with the other officials to make the preparations.
Sergio was whisked away so he could bathe and change into his clothes. Since he was
officially a Great General, it was a custom of the South Cloud World Royals that he
changed into his armor, leading the royal army to the streets for the common folk to
revere him.
Half an hour later, Sergio slowly entered the street under the protection of the royal army.
Many people had already gathered on both sides of the street.
The position of a Great General position was powerful and respected. He was only beneath
one person while countless other people were beneath him. As a result, the royal city's
people wanted to see the kind of person who won first place in the competition.
They all saw Sergio clad in silver armor and equipped with the royals’ golden sword on his
waist. It was a sight to behold.
Many people could not help but gasp in awe of him.

"He really is a cut above the others..."
"Yeah, I didn't expect the person who got first place to be so young."
The chatter around Sergio delighted him and filled him with an indescribable pride.
'Starting today, I'll only soar higher and higher. Master and Junior Sister will be very happy
if they find out,’ Sergio thought.
More people began to gather and watch on the street. Among the crowd was a slender
figure standing quietly. She had also joined them to see what all the fuss was about.
The woman had a dainty and charming face. She wore a plain, long skirt, but it still did not
hide her sensual curves. Her body was oozing a powerful aura, the coldness of which
radiated to almost a mile away.
It was Kendall.
About two weeks ago, Kendall escaped from the underground cave not far from the Maple
Division, and unexpectedly managed to obtain Golden Scale Python. When she returned to
the Maple Division again, it had already been burned into ruins by a fire. The Five Poison
Sect's foundations were destroyed too.
Kendall had no choice but to contact the Five Poison Sect's disciples while looking for
Sergio's whereabouts.
Sergio took away her innocence and she felt an irreconcilable hatred toward him in her
heart. She was willing to pay whatever price as long as she could kill him with her own
hands.
