The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 695 - MAY THE KING OF ARCADIA BLESS YOU!

LUO JIN let go of his hold on the chair and jumped down. He was about to fire shots down so it could slow down his descent and he could land safely, but before he could do that, his body suddenly floated on its own. He glanced at the duke, because the other was the only one who could do it.

The duke, who was floating beside him, just gave him a sideway glance. ”What? Just be thankful that this lord is giving you a ride.”

Thereʼs really no point antagonizing the other, so he only expressionlessly said, ”Thank you.”

The duke scoffed and continued to descend, bringing him along. When there was about five feet before they landed on the ruined rink, Luo Jin suddenly felt his body falling. With his quick reflex, he managed to land on his feet. If he wasnʼt attentive enough to his surroundings, he might have really fallen on his butt because of it.

”Tch. And here I thought this lord would be able to see a funny scene.”

Hearing that, Luo Jin glared at the duke and the other only raised his eyebrow at him. This bastard must have been pissed that he jumped and held on to his chair thatʼs why he was acting like this. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Thereʼs no use getting pissed at this guy.

”As everyone had already seen, the winner of this match is AmazingYoungMasterJin!” the Duke of Hearts announced. ”Maybe he really does live up to his name.”

[You really donʼt need to mention that last part.] – Luo Jin thought grumblingly.

The audience who had been silent since the blinding light disappeared finally erupted into a loud cheer. Some even shouting and calling Luo Jinʼs game account name.

Luo Jin only felt embarrassed at that. [Please, stop shouting that embarrassing name.]

Among the cheering crown was of course, Luo Wei Tian. ”Young Master Jin! You did great!” He turned to Luo Ren. ”Did you see, Ah Ren? Our Xiao Jin managed to survive that explosion! Isnʼt he really amazing?”

”Yes, Dad, Xiao Jin is amazing,” Luo Ren responded with a helpless smile. He then glanced sideways at Su Yuqi, to see the otherʼs reaction to his brotherʼs win. And to his surprise, Su Yuqi was actually smiling while looking proudly at Luo Jin. He returned his gaze to his brother. [Well, it seems you your crush is not so hopeless, Xiao Jin.]

The Duke of Hearts suddenly snapped his fingers and the ruined rink immediately went back to its normal state. He then clapped his hands and the winners of the previous matches appeared on the stage.

Luo Yan immediately walked to Luo Jin.

”Thatʼs a great fight, Ah Jin,” he said giving his brother a thumbs up. ”Although I really was worried for a second there.”

Luo Jin scoffed with an almost pouting expression. ”Whatʼs there to be worried about? I can handle something so simple.”

Luo Yan chuckled and ruffled his brotherʼs hair. ”Yes, yes, our Ah Jin is the best.”

Luo Jin ducked his head, his cheeks blushing red with shyness. ”Ya—” he stopped before he said his brotherʼs name, he remembered him saying that one of the playerʼs participating today was a student at Guizu Academy. Itʼs better to not carelessly say Luo Yanʼs name. ”I mean, Noctis, donʼt ruffle my hair like that.”

Luo Yan only felt amused because he could see that the kid was trying not to say his real name. ”Okay, I wonʼt.”

[Gnome brother! Youʼre amazing! You now earned Eclipseʼs respect! So, Eclipse will call you young master from now on!] – Eclipse excitedly said while jumping around Luo Jin.

”Whatʼs wrong with your pet?” Luo Jin asked, a bit confused.

”Heʼs saying that you now earned his respect and he will now call you ʼyoung masterʼ,” Luo Yan said with an amused smile.

As if confirming what Luo Yan just said, the little fox was suddenly transformed to his humanoid form, his clothes still tattered from his fight earlier.

”Mashter is right! Eclipse now respects you, young master! But not as much as Mashter or Captain. Mashter is still number one and Captain is second. Young master is currently in the middle of the ladder,” the kid said to Luo Jin.

Luo Jin didnʼt know how to respond to the boy whoʼs now at the same height as his game avatar. Should he be thankful or annoyed? At the end, he chose to be neutral. After all, this kid was still his brotherʼs beloved pet.

”Just call me Jin, that would be enough,” he only said.

”Eehh… how could Eclipse do that? Your name is Amazing Young Master Jin, Eclipse is already making a shortcut by just calling you ʼyoung masterʼ.”

”Just let him call you ʼyoung masterʼ,” Luo Yan said. ”Eclipse loves to give people nicknames. If you donʼt let him call you that, he would just end up calling you ʼgnome brotherʼ.”

”Fine,” Luo Jin grumbled.

A mic suddenly appeared in the hands of the Duke of Hearts. It was probably just a prop, because even without it, everyone would still be able to hear what heʼs saying.

”Congratulations to the eight of you for successfully passing the first round of the tournament!” he said. ”This lord is very pleased by most of the results. Donʼt you agree?” he asked, pointing the mic to the audience area.

Of course, the audience responded by loudly cheering.

”Before we end this exciting night, I would just like to announce something. For tomorrowʼs quarterfinals, the one who will decide which participant will fight with who, would be you guys! Yes, you guys on the audience as well as those who werenʼt able to watch the fight here and were watching the live stream. You can go to Arcadiaʼs official website to know the complete step by step procedure to do that. And you only have until midnight to do it.”

After saying that, there was a great fanfare amongst the crowd.

”So, make sure to pick the right pairing, okay?” the duke continued before turning to the eight players. ”Good luck on your matches tomorrow. May the king of Arcadia bless you!”

And thatʼs how the first round of the tournament ended.
