Chapter 340: Spectating

Chapter 340: Spectating

The arena in Northland City was rough in appearance, but it could still be called tall and grand. Many buildings in Northland City shared this characteristic of being tall. The sole reason for this was to make it convenient for the Ancient Tree to peek through windows. No one knew if the Ancient Tree needed to peek through windows, but people knew that was what Grand Sorcerer Bran believed.

Bran might not have been serious at all, or maybe he was just playing with the Ancient Tree.

But Pachu, Earl, and others had to take it seriously, just to make Bran happy. Just like the White Robes’ Settlement now, if it had been designed according to regular plans, it wouldn’t have caused the White Robes so much trouble. But no one complained. Compared to the gains, what was a little effort?

The arena should be considered a masterpiece of flattery. At this moment, the Giants standing at the edge of the arena were also awed by the lingering effect of this flattery.

Under the fierce and bossy command of Jenny and Lui, the bell began to ring and spread. After the bell tolled, a crowd surged towards the arena.

At first, the Giants could watch the people appearing in the stands calmly and curiously. But as the crowd poured in and the arena gradually filled up, the Giants became nervous and uneasy.

How could there be so many people? They felt they had never seen as many people in their entire lives as they did today.

…

Zoya should have personally brought the Giants here, but the Giants’ previous rudeness made Zoya think of playing a trick. What should have been an introduction and exchange turned into a direct challenge.

Someone coming to challenge was a big event for the arena. The Giants’ enormous stature easily created a sense of pressure, which made Jenny and Lui feel uneasy. They had received Knight education since childhood and were skilled in martial arts themselves, but at their core, they were still young ladies.

Being suddenly challenged made them a bit flustered, so their first thought was to find help. The bell rang, but what should have been a deep, heavy sound lost its steadiness, carrying a hint of urgency and anxiety.

Thus, many Knights and Warriors put down their work and hurried here. Those who were brave and loved to fight also came here, along with those who just wanted to watch the excitement.

When the stands were packed with all kinds of people, another group gradually gathered on the opposite side of the arena, facing the Giants from a distance.

Listening to the surrounding noise, Zack couldn’t help but frown. “For such a small matter, you two made such a big scene?”

If his clan members hadn’t pulled him along, Zack really didn’t want to come. But thinking that the two women in front of him were likely to marry into the clan, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it.

Zack didn’t like the two women in front of him. This attitude represented part of the Bran Family, creating a subtle crack in the already small family.

Unfortunately, this attitude did not have Bran’s support. Originally, Mary supported Zack. The couple even went to Bran specifically to gossip and complain. Unfortunately, Bran pointed out rather unkindly, “Zack is jealous. Jealous that others still have a choice.”

So the originally harmonious family became quite lively for a few days. Mary’s rolling pin once again helped her gain the upper hand. Having learned his lesson, Zack finally learned to play dumb.

Later, Bran explained to Zack: There are too few women in the family. It’s a good thing if women from outside want to marry in. Moreover, both the Dragon Riders and the Anya People have connections with us, so it doesn’t violate tradition.

As for Mary, Bran was somewhat afraid of her. He didn’t want to and didn’t dare to provoke a pregnant woman. So he told Zack to endure more, suffer more, and contribute more to the family’s peace and harmony.

Looking at Mary’s gradually growing belly, Zack could only endure.

Bran promised that after the child was born, they could choose a real treasure from the Fairy’s treasure hoard. Only then was the matter completely settled.

Zack exchanged glances with a few other slightly stronger Dragon Riders and Hell Knights, and they all shook their heads. This made Jenny nervous. “Can’t we beat them?”

They shook their heads again. “Too weak. It’s not worth making such a big fuss for them.”

After getting the answer, Jenny immediately became arrogant. She thought it was totally worth it. At least the Giants looked intimidating, just the kind of opponents she dreamed of to show off her strength.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she, a beautiful and fair great Knight, faced a powerful enemy fearlessly and ultimately triumphed over evil. At this moment, she felt she was the War God reincarnated…

Zack felt this was too embarrassing, so he quietly took a few steps back.

The Giants were also observing. Although the sea of people made them nervous, they knew they couldn’t show fear at this time. A few Warriors on the opposite side took steps back; those were obviously the weaker ones.

Moore tilted his head and signaled to a Giant beside him, telling him to actively challenge one of the weaker ones to test the waters.

The Giant walked to the center of the arena. He pointed a thick finger. “You, come out!”

The distance was a bit far, and there were really too many people over there, so everyone looked at each other, unsure who exactly was chosen.

Jenny stepped forward excitedly and asked, “Me?”

“I don’t fight women. My sisters will teach you a lesson later,” the Giant explained unhappily, then continued, “You, yes, you!”

Zack absolutely did not expect the Giant to pick him first. He was the Grand Warrior second only to Danny in the Bran Family, although the gap of this ‘second only’ was quite large. But since Danny rarely took action, outsiders who didn’t know better regarded him as the family’s number one Warrior. After all, Danny was now the City Lord and could no longer go out to fight people, so Zack accepted this title without guilt.

How embarrassing! With this feeling, a somewhat blushing and angry Zack walked into the arena in a few steps. Before the Giant could react, he grabbed him, swung him, and threw him far away.

Amidst the flying dust, the noise from the stands suddenly stopped, and the scene fell into an awkward silence.

The Giant was tough. This fall didn’t cause any harm, so he flipped over and stood up. His huge body was surprisingly nimble while getting up, which at least showed he wasn’t completely useless.

The Giant roared, “Coward! I wasn’t ready just now. You ambushed me!”

Zack, who had already started to turn away, had to turn back and stand firm after hearing this. He sighed. “Are you ready now?”

“Yes!”

As soon as the word fell, Zack rushed forward again, and the Giant flew through the air again. This time he flew a bit farther, and the sound of him hitting the ground was quite loud.

The Giant pushed himself up slowly with his hands. He glared at Zack. “You’re a coward! You tricked me into talking.”

Zack helplessly spread his hands. “I’m waiting. You attack.”

The Giant rotated his thick neck, then mustered all his strength, let out a loud roar, and charged towards Zack. Facing the Giant who rushed at him like a small mountain, Zack didn’t dodge but stepped forward and threw a punch. With a dull thud, the Giant slowly fell to the ground, blood seeping from his mouth and nose.
