Death… And Me

Chapter 1129 - Is This A Trap?

Rean didn\'t mind. If anything, it was good that Milina didn\'t insist on staying. "Anyways, I\'m not going to force you two. However, chances are that you will be assaulted by the other cultivators once they start gathering ten pearls each. Don\'t forget that compared to the big countries, we have very few members. Roan and I are fine since we\'re together with the city guards, but I can\'t say the same for you two."

Rean then smiled as he continued, "If you two are afraid that you will be in debt with us, don\'t be. These extra pearls cost almost nothing for us. You can find another way to repay us in the future. However, you should really take the chance to advance to the next test when you have it. When you just arrived in this city, did you expect to get this far?"

With that, Regio and Samanta finally nodded. "If the chances present themselves, we will help you in the next tests." They understood that insisting on it wouldn\'t bring them anywhere. With that said, they also activated their Existence Pearls before their bodies disappeared from the Dream City.

"Phew...now that thing\'s dealt with," Rean could not help but say after the two left.

Roan still found Rean too naive for his own good. "Let\'s hope everything goes well."

Rean then thought about something. "How about this? I\'ll give you all my pearls from now on, just keeping ten of them with me. That way, we will guarantee that at least one of us will finish first place."

Roan pondered in silence for a bit and agreed with him. "Fine. I\'m the one with the best chances of defending them anyway."

Back in the guests\' hall, Fabio couldn\'t help but feel excited. \'Recruiting the twins was definitely the best thing I\'ve ever done in my life. Hahahaha!\' Right now, he already had three cultivators in the fourth test, and Rean and Roan would most likely join them later. First of all, he was very curious to see what would happen if the twins finished first place on that ranking board. Sure enough, all the guests could at least see the rankings, although they couldn\'t watch Rean and Roan directly.

The twins then resumed their daily patrol with their squad. After those first few days, the number of fights between cultivators reduced a lot. It\'s not that they were being more careful, but that many of them were imprisoned or got killed. 45810 cultivators entered the dream city, but now, less than 20000 remained after just three days.

Of course, they would still find cultivators fighting over Existence Pearls every now and then and capture those people. They took their pearls away and sent the survivors into jail. However, Rean and Roan never attacked cultivators who were performing tasks. They truly only took the ones causing trouble, as the city guards should be doing.

On the fifth day, the next ten pearl holder finally appeared. This time, it was really one of the big countries. Or, to be more specific, the Klacks Country. Hedoi got ahold of his tenth pearl by using death threats after leaving the Sacred Land. However, he was basically the only one from his country to have ten or get close to it. The issue of evil path cultivators with trust continued, so they didn\'t have other participants in the same situation.

If one took Huring Country as an example, they also had these kinds of problems where everyone wished to pass. Nevertheless, it was easier to gather ten pearls in a less chaotic manner. Ricab, Venali, and Dissialle all had nine pearls that they shared between themselves.

Hedoi, obviously, immediately had the ranking board appear in his mind. \'Hum? Was there such a thing?\' Then, his mouth twitched when he checked the first position.

1st: Roan Larks - 97 Existence Pearls.

2nd: Rean Larks - 10 Existence Pearls.

3rd: Hedoi Garaizabal - 10 Existence Parls.

Milina, Samanta, and Regio didn\'t count anymore because they left the dream city. Naturally, they didn\'t appear in the rank. "Holy shit! It\'s him! Sect Master wanted me to force his retirement from the Sacred Land Recruitment. However, how the hell did he get these many pearls?!"

Of course, Roan\'s position immediately appeared on the map in Hedoi\'s mind. Following that, he looked at the other members of his Klacks Country before saying, "All of you, come with me. We need to check something out."

Seeing those many pearls, Hedoi wouldn\'t be idiotic enough to go after Roan on his own. Here in this city, he wasn\'t much stronger or weaker than others. With that said, there was a chance that Roan had some method to get rid of all competition, so he had to be careful. Not to mention that he could see Rean and Roan were always together.

As one could expect, the twins also noticed Hedoi\'s appearance. "Hey, look at that. Someone has finally collected ten pearls. What do you think, Roan?"

Roan remembered that guy from the Klacks Country. Many people commented about this evil path power that was taking part in the competition. If he didn\'t want to, he would hear about them. "This guy is obviously heading in our direction..."

Roan pondered over the situation for a bit before a faint smile appeared on his face.

Hedoi\'s group didn\'t take long to arrive where Rean and Roan were staying. However, all they could see was that those two were working in some jewelry store.

Rean then looked at Hedoi\'s group from inside the store. "Oh, so you\'re the guy who also got ten pearls. You better leave. You definitely don\'t want to get in trouble."

Hedoi narrowed his eyes after hearing that. It was obvious just how confident Rean looked.. His advantage in numbers didn\'t bother Rean at all. \'Is this a trap?\'
