Chapter 525 The Aftermath of Epic Plains Trial

Chapter 525 The Aftermath of Epic Plains Trial

Out of everyone's expectations, the trial was over like never before. Some people didn't even get the chance to participate as they were all waiting for more information.

The most enraged about it was none other than the King of Dead, Onyx, as he just stood on his spot where he was kicked out of the trial plain while a terrifying bloodlust was emitting from his giant body. 

The dark beings around him trembled on their knees and didn't dare to make a sound, afraid to get crushed under the King's rage. 

At this moment, Onyx roared, creating a terrifying magic ripple in the area, "Prepared the armies! It's time to put a leash on every livestock in these wretched lands!"

While the King of Dead was planning on going on a rampage, the situation of the Alive Plains was somewhat different. 

Gunnar, Nelsen, and Lucy gathered together, and this meeting was called by none other than Nelsen after he returned from the champion space. 

Gunnar's eyes were shimmering with hatred and humiliation as he wanted to rip apart Jacob while Lucy was subtly staring at impassive Nelsen, who wanted to see through him. 

Nelsen calmly said, "I'm going to resign from my position as the chairman." 

Gunnar didn't even bat an eye on this news as he asked coldly, "Did you meet him?" 

Nelsen glanced at him and nodded, "Yes, and for all of our sake, don't provoke him anymore. Wait until he leaves the epic plains. Everything would turn to normal once he's gone. There is no star network in the Epic Plains, which means he can't continue his business, so he'll leave. Let's forget about we have ever known a calamity named Faceless Ancient!" 

Lucy's eyes shimmered as she asked, "You seemed pretty confident about him leaving. Can you kindly tell us what happened in there? I'm pretty sure with your underhanded methods. It hadn't been difficult for you to trick him into attacking you and then getting rid of him. Yet, here you are with the air of defeat and telling us to back down. It seemed you finally met your match." 

Nelsen smiled wryly, "I'm just an old man looking out for people I care about, even if you are one of them. But there is always a time you should give up, and this is exactly what it is. I can't tell you what happened there, but all I can say is I made a deal with him, and as long as we don't bother him, he won't look our way." 

"What did you pay?" Gunnar wasn't an idiot. He knew if Jacob could even make someone like Nelsen submit, then the price he had demanded would be unimaginable, especially when he had the entire champion shop in front of him. 

Nelsen smiled and ambiguously replied, "Goodwill. Just let it go. You and I both know you are not his match. Not until he had his weaponry, and after facing him, I can say for sure that even without any weapons, you still can't beat it. He's a one-man army and a terrible one at that."

lightsn?v?l Gunner's expression darkened to a great degree, but he didn't have words to retort because, deep down, he knew Nelsen had no reason to lie to him. Even his own daughter thinks that Jacob might be on the same level as him, even stronger. 

Lucy looked deeply at Nelsen, "So, you're finally going to let Ellie fill in your shoes, huh? But I don't think she is qualified yet; she's too impulsive and arrogant." 

Nelsen gave her a meaningful glance and smiled, "I'm afraid she'll kill me if I dare to try to take her birthright. In this regard, she's just like a certain someone who I know. Now, I'll excuse myself. I still have to be ready for the ceremony of the new president." 

Done saying, he stood up under Lucy's murderous glare and left. Gunnar and Lucy didn't stop him. They were really nothing they could do at this point. 

Suddenly, Lucy said something, "Believe it or not, something is wrong with that Perverted Schemer. There's something he's not telling us. For all we know, he might've already sold us to Faceless Ancient for his own safety.

"How about we contact that man and leave the epic plains for good? This place is no longer worth living in. I know your whole legacy and clan is here, but what is the point if you are dead? 

"I'm also a native of Epic Plains, but it's time to leave this place and enter a new and higher playing field. This way, you will be able to surpass Faceless Ancient and think about your daughter as well. She's still young and full of talent as well as beautiful. I don't believe there aren't any places for us in the Unique Plains. 

"I don't trust that man even if he killed himself in front of me, and you shouldn't either. For old-time sake, I'm giving you this sincere advice, and I'm leaving as soon as possible!" Lucy declared and left without turning back. 

Gunnar sat there with a gloomy expression for a long time before a rueful sigh escaped his mouth, "Sigh…what if I hadn't kicked you out that day…" 

Smiling bitterly, he also left towards his tribe with full of raging emotions in his heart. 

--- 

After leaving, Nelsen quickly found Ellie, who seemed to be waiting for him. 

She had an anxious expression as she asked, "So, how did it go?" 

Nelsen chuckled slyly, "As always, your aunty would not believe me. There is an 80% chance that she would either go to hiding or leave the epic plains, while the rest of the chance is she would still antagonize Faceless Ancient. As for Gunnar, I don't think Faceless Ancient has any deep grudge against him, but his actions are not worth monitoring." 

"She is a bitch, not my relative!" Ellie hissed angrily before her expression turned gloomy, "Are we going to leave everything and flee?" 

Nelsen sighed, "I know it's very hard to leave everything behind you work so hard for, but baby girl, sometimes, we must choose between pride and survival. The former will mostly lead to death while the latter only exists for those who cherish their lives."

His expression turned emotional, "There is something you should know now. I wish it wouldn't have come to this, but it can't help anymore. Actually, our ancestry is not in the epic plains. All the thing I've told you about my family was a lie. My family is still alive, and they are all in the Unique Plains!"
