Hareeta pouted her lips and said contemptuously, "He's injured because he's too weak. What does it have to do with me?"
"You..." Kaegan's face flushed due to his anger, "If you didn't have the talisman, you wouldn't have been able to defeat me at all!"
"Haha, there are no 'ifs' in this world!" She retorted with a sneer.
Meanwhile, Gregary couldn't stand it anymore as he spoke, "Hareeta, it'll be difficult to win the competition by relying on the talismans. After all, a talisman doesn't belong to your own strength. Its function are limited."
"Additionally, this kind of Heaven Level talisman is very precious. There aren't many of them, and it's inappropriate to waste it now."
"Mr. Zhao, you're overthinking things. It's just a Heaven Level talisman. I have a bunch of them." As she said that, Hareeta took out a thick stack of talismans. There were at least twenty or more pieces.
Everyone was shocked upon seeing that. A hush fell over the scene.
After a few seconds of silence, Fade looked at her and said, "A talisman is an external object. If one relies too much on it, the effect might be opposing."
"That's just some kind of self-consolation from those who are poor," Hareeta said in a disdainful tone, "I have tons of talismans. I can use it when I face an opponent. If one isn't enough, I'll use ten. If ten isn't enough, I'll use twenty. Even if they're an expert at the peak stage of the Heaven Level, I can still defeat them with it."
Fade shook his head as he stared at her confident and arrogant expression. He merely said coldly, "It's up to you, as long as you're happy with it."
At that moment, 6 reg ary couldn't help but feel a headache. He rubbed his temples, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, let's end the session. Now, you all can make your own arrangements."
Upon saying that, he took out his phone and left while making a call.
The others left as well. Everyone was in groups of three to five. Not a single one of them wanted to be with Hareeta.
Fade wanted to have a conversation with her. However, she held her phone and made a video call while giggling and laughing.
He could only shake his head and sigh. He thought to himself, "I hope that Hareeta won't be a
burden during the competition!"
In the afternoon, Gregary had lunch with the team members in the restaurant.
The restaurant was lively and crowded. As compared to the day before, there were more people that day as the competition was approaching. More teams had arrived.
Those who knew each other paid their greetings while various languages reverberated the restaurant. It was a merry scene.
Gregary couldn't recognize many of them. After giving a simple greeting to a few acquaintances, he sat down to enjoy his meal.
However, at that moment, someone with a weird accent approached him. He said with an exaggerated laughter, "Hey, isn't this Gregary Zhao from China?"
Upon hearing the voice, Gregary and his team members lifted their heads. They then saw a tall foreign man in his forties approaching them with a wide smile on his face.
The man had a tall and muscular build. His muscles bulged out of his clothes and he seemed to be powerful.
The attention of others in the restaurant was attracted as they looked over in their direction.
When everyone learned that it was a conflict between China and the Micovia team, they perked up with interest. Some even hoped to witness both teams fight on the spot.
After all, the strength of the both teams had always been in the top three in the past. If they could fight each other right then and deplete part of their strength, it would definitely be beneficial for the other teams.
In the midst of Nocker's exaggerated laughter, 6 reg ary snorted and stood up, saying loudly, "So what if you collaborated with others? After all, the final winner of the previous team competition was still China."
His words were sonorous and powerful as they echoed throughout the restaurant while Hocker and Louis' expressions turned grim.
Indeed, back then, the Micovia team that was ranked first and the Earland team, which was ranked third, collaborated. However, in such an advantageous situation, they were still defeated by the Chinese team. It was beyond many people's expectations, while both teams suffered a lot of criticism and ridicule since then.
Now, as soon as 6 reg ary brought that matter up, he triggered Nocker and Louis' anger right away.
However, both of them as leaders, couldn't take any action right on the spot even if they were furious.
Nocker sneered, "That's in the past. Moreover, there was only Jaguar in China. This year, the same situation won't happen again."
"Is that so? That's not for sure yet!" Gregary retorted coldly, not giving in.
Nocker said nothing. Instead, Louis smiled and said, "I heard that there's a new member who recently joined the Chinese team. Her name's Hareeta Song. I heard that she's from a real martial arts family in your country. She's only at the early stage of the Heaven Level, but she has a lot of artefacts with her. It's no wonder that you're so confident!"
