Chapter 146 - The Fate of the Phoenix (1) (1/2)
"Good morning, Mr. Aleen." The gray-haired woman bowed slightly when Aleen opened the door.
Aleen was startled. He did not think that the person who was going to visit them would be Leona.
But he quickly recovered. With a nod, he invited Leona inside. "I never thought miss Leona would visit personally."
"I'm your representative after all. Moreover, I'm in charge of the administration of this world." Leona replied.
Aleen nodded and guided Leona to the living room. Claire and Aya were surprised when they saw her.
"Miss Claire, miss Aya." Leona bowed again and sat on the sofa. It took a second for the two girls to react and return the greeting.
Aleen and the girls then sat near Leona. They looked at her with tense expressions, wondering what was the reason because Leona came personally to speak with them.
Leona noticed their expressions and cleared her throat. She looked at the three of them fixedly and then spoke.
"Firstly, congratulations again for surviving the last game. Actually, that game was way above your level, and you were not supposed to participate there. But fortunately, none of you died.
"Why was Claire summoned then?" Aleen wrinkled his brows and asked with a displeased expression. "I find it strange that you commit mistakes like that."
"It was not a mistake, instead, it was something intentional." Leona nodded without a change in her expression. "Don't worry, I'll explain everything clearly. That is the reason that I'm here."
Aleen and the others could only nod.
Leona then looked at Claire. "Actually, the main reason it happened was due to miss Claire. You probably already noticed, but there is something very powerful living inside her."
"Yes, we learned about it not long ago." Aleen said.
"What miss Claire has inside her is something called Eternal Flame. It's a living being formed by pure energy and laws condensed under miraculous circumstances, with the capacity to push someone to level-six with a certain probability.
"When we learned that there is an Eternal Flame on earth, we immediately tried to locate it, but someone else located it before us. He was a level-six named Kdon Srive.
"Mr. Kdon knew he could not take the Eternal Flame on Earth, or we would have noticed. So, he manipulated a game so miss Claire and two of his men participate at the same time. He then ordered his men to kill miss Claire and take the Eternal Flame. As for the rest, you know it." Leona finished explaining.
Aleen and the others' expression changed. To think that it even involved a level-six.
But after astonishment, Aleen felt rage. He felt angry that someone plotted to kill his sister like that, simply because he wanted something on her.
"What happened to the level-six?" Aleen asked, trying to control his emotions.
"Nothing yet. Maybe he will be admonished later, but nothing serious." Leona said in a business-like tone.
"What do you mean? We three almost died due to it and you are telling me that you will do nothing about him!?"
Leona wrinkled her brows hearing it. She looked at Aleen and put an ice-cold expression, and then, a powerful pressure radiated from her, suppressing the group.
"Mr. Aleen, it looks like you are misunderstanding something. Do you know what Dimensional Paradise thinks about you? Nothing. Maybe you think you are something important now that you have a skill, but actually, the administrators did not care if you live or die.
"Do you know how many level-two like you are there? Tens of Billions! The number is uncountable! As for level-six? there are not even 4000 in more than ten thousand dimensions. Do you think that the council or the administrator will punish a level-six just for three pitiful level-two?
"Have you never wondered why the administrator did not care about the deaths of so many low-level supers in the game? It's because they are disposable! Even if ten thousand level-two die in a game, the administrators will not care. They can get more level-two simply by recruiting from the many dimensions. Maybe Dimensional Paradise is not the best way to produce level-six, but it's the cheapest and the quickest!
"To be honest, the only reason because the administration will admonish the level-six this time is due to the Eternal Flame. Without the Eternal Flame, nobody would have cared if you live or die."
