Chapter 316: Other competitors (3)
Alex just casually put another phone on the table for me.
But then as if he realized something, he reached out to pick up that phone and stood up to bring his chair over to where I was sitting.
I couldn't help feeling strange seeing him sit beside me like this, but I could feel something else.
There were glares that were coming from another direction.
There were three pairs of glares to be exact that were aimed in my direction when Alex sat down beside me.
Alex also felt them as he looked in the direction that the glares came from with a strange look, but he wasn't able to see a thing.
Though I knew exactly who they were coming from.
After a moment of silence, Alex turned back to me and raised the phone in front of us.
Then he pointed it at one of the people that were sitting in the cafe.
This person was sitting right beside my group and seemed to have been secretly keeping an eye on them.
As soon as the phone was pointed at him, his information was revealed.
Cheng Hui
Beijing Tigers
Awakener Rank: A (Currently at D Rank)
Power: Echo Tiger Fist
When I saw this, I couldn't help knitting my brows.
Though I didn't know anything about Eden, it was a completely different story for Beijing Tigers.
This was a guild that we had been warned about before coming to this tournament.
This was a guild that had a bad relationship with Elementia because of an incident in the past.
The Beijing Tigers was a guild that was sponsored by the Chinese Government, so it was a guild with history.
One such history was Bing Lan's own history with China.
As her name suggested, Bing Lan was once a citizen of China and had registered as an Awakener there.
But later on, she abandoned her citizenship and went on to create Elementia.
However, since she was a S Ranker, it wasn't easy for her to leave the country like that.
They had wanted to keep her at all costs and as such, Bing Lan's relationship with that country became tense.
So later on when she formed Elementia, the Beijing Tigers that had been sponsored by the Chinese Government had always had a tense relationship with Elementia.
They worked together when they needed to, but there were many clashes that happened between the two sides.
It wasn't strange to see him watching over us like this.
But Alex must have also known this which was why he showed me this person first.
It was clear by the smile that was on his face what he meant.
Seeing the way that I looked at him, Alex gave a nod before moving the phone to another person.
Fubuki
Amaterasu
Awakener Rank: B (Currently at C Rank)
Power: Blizzard
Amaterasu, that was another guild that I recognized.
It wasn't one that we had been warned about, but it was one that I was personally concerned with.
After all, it had been because of me that they had lost the bid for the SS Rank Dungeon.
I had no idea if they knew about me, but I was certain that they wouldn't leave things be. Whether that was returning the favour to Elementia or to me, I knew that something would happen in the future.
But I was more concerned about why Alex showed me this.
Did he know about my involvement or…?
I couldn't discount this since Eden had already shown how much information was under their control.
Alex saw the way that I looked at him and he just turned the phone with the same smile on his face.
It seemed like I really couldn't look down on him.
The third person that he pointed this phone at was…
Reinhold Griner
Lowland Panzers
Awakener Rank: A (Currently at B Rank)
Power: Charge
This wasn't a guild that I recognized, but the person I did.
That was because this person became an Awakener, he had been a pro athlete.
He had played in the international football league and had been one of the offensive centers on the German team.
With his Charge ability, he had been able to push through everyone and had been named the MVP for two seasons in a row.
But in the end, he was recruited as an Awakener.
In the last interview that he gave as a pro athlete, he had said that he had gotten too bored with playing sports and wanted to try something new.
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't his fan since he had the ability that the past me wanted.
The ability to charge through all opposition like a true hero.
I was surprised to see him now because I didn't recognize him at all.
It seemed that going into the dungeon had really changed Reinhold…
But I was also confused why Alex was showing his information to me.
With a smile, Alex said, "He's also someone that I've considered having an alliance with. I just wanted to see what you thought about it."
I couldn't help feeling a bit excited since I had always wanted to meet him, but then I calmed down and said, "You're free to try whatever you want."
I gave a vague answer since I didn't want to be attached to this.
Alex just gave a nod before saying, "We'll see then."
But he also put the phone down after saying this.
I raised a brow as I looked at him.
I just saw him take out another tablet that was bigger than the phone we were using before.
He didn't bring it up at first as he looked at me and said, "The ones that I'm about to show you next are the real ones. They are the ones that are favoured to win this entire tournament."
I was surprised to hear this, but I could see how serious he was.
So all I gave was a nod in response.
