Ning Feng was constantly being observed by those around him.
He stood out among the crowd.
It wasn't just because of his appearance and the special charm he exuded, but also because of the organization he represented.
Wearing the black combat uniform specially made for Watchers combat sequence operators, Ning Feng made no attempt to conceal his origins.
The Watchers.
Ning Feng was born into the Watchers, and joined when he was a child, so he never experienced the hardships that wild Awakened Ones went through.
Without being immodest, he didn't have a concrete concept of the Watchers' influence.
Overwatch is very strong and respected, but just how strong is unclear.
But at this moment, feeling the gazes coming from all directions, he finally had a general idea.
After careful analysis, Ning Feng sensed a lot of complex emotions in the eyes of these people.
Disdain, doubt, curiosity, embarrassment, envy...
And among all those feelings, the most prevalent and strongest was—awe.
It wasn't out of awe for Ning Feng, an awakened being below the third rank, but rather out of awe for the name "Guardian".
Can an organization that has watched over the world for thousands of years really be summed up with just a lighthearted phrase like "the world's largest awakened organization"?
That's not enough.
Facing the various gazes behind him, Ning Feng nodded and turned back again.
It disappeared.
His sudden movement had failed to catch the other party, and now, having alerted them, the two pairs of eyes had disappeared.
I don't know if they've given up or moved on to observing others.
Very cautious and adept at hiding themselves.
"Were they sent to spy on me?"
"One of those gazes was filled with scrutiny and suspicion, while the other... hiss."
After a moment of confident contemplation, Ning Feng frowned slightly, a hint of uncertainty in his expression.
"Enthusiasm and excitement?"
That shouldn't be happening!
Could it be that someone fell in love at first sight?
Unfortunately, I am now an emotionless killer and cannot be tempted.
Don't ask why.
The answer is yes, because it's now a live broadcast plus pre-recorded segments...
Thinking about live streaming, Ning Feng smiled:
"Those two should be staying home and watching me obediently now, right?"
"I can't afford to embarrass myself too much."
He didn't notice that far back in the crowd, a hooded figure quietly pulled out a tablet...
Skillfully adjusting the camera angle, it finally locked onto Ning Feng's face.
"Hehehe."
...
...
"Finally, it's about to begin."
Standing at the very front of the crowd, Anthony yawned exaggeratedly, then looked back into the distance, muttering to himself:
"Three hundred, six hundred, nine hundred...it must be more than a thousand people."
A magnificent suit of armor with a silver-white base, inlaid with gold patterns, and engraved with the lion crest.
Without a helmet, Anthony exposed his striking good looks to everyone, drawing all eyes to him.
"Stop asking questions you already know the answer to. I already told you the quantity. If you've forgotten that, I'll worry about my future children's intelligence."
"Uh, you're already thinking about kids?"
Beside Anthony, Sophie extended her right hand towards him with a half-smile, a playful expression on her face:
“If you’re not willing, I have many ways to prevent your genes from becoming a concern for me.”
Seeing her fiancé's somewhat stiff expression, she laughed and emphasized:
"For example, not having children with you."
Tsk.
For a moment, Anthony's expression faltered, and he gave Sophie a resentful look, this time genuinely, not feigning it.
He bent his right arm, letting Sophie's hand rest on it, his lips twitched slightly, and he lowered his voice to say:
"Hey! How could you say that?"
"Ha, what did I say? I just said I wouldn't have children with you."
Anthony clenched his teeth slightly, feeling insulted.
Although the two were outwardly friendly but inwardly estranged, and they usually had a lot of fun together, he still couldn't quite accept the issue of noble offspring.
"Hey, you really...?"
Holding up her skirt, Sophie gazed ahead, a faint smile playing on her lips:
"I already said I won't have any more children. At worst, we won't have any offspring, and the collateral branches can inherit. Anyway, I don't care about the position of family head."
At this point, Sophie suddenly turned her head and said:
"Or do you think I'm the kind of woman who would have a child with someone else?"
You fucking bastard, aren't you?
"What a coincidence, it really is me."
Turning her head to look at her fiancé, Sophie said earnestly:
"But that was only before marriage. I will not betray my husband after marriage."
"That's how the women in the Jasmine family have always been."
Staring blankly at Sophie, Anthony suddenly realized that he hadn't fully seen through her true nature before.
"you……"
Turning back, Sophie spoke calmly:
"Stop talking to yourself, it's about to start."
"You chose to come here yourself, so let's keep going."
...
...
"Keynes, speaking of which, who did you hire as the honorary referee for this match?"
Keynes, due to his status as the organizer and former Silver Speaker, sat in the head seat, among a group of legends.
He was old and frail, but his imposing presence was not much diminished.
"【The Swordholder】".
Facing the curious gazes of the assembled legends, the aged nobleman proclaimed:
"I invited him to be an honorary judge for this competition."
Keynes picked up the glass that the waiter had filled and took a small sip.
"I believe he will not refuse this invitation."
