-Alley Leader has decided to reappear on Masked Fighting King. In addition, everyone will be fighting under the same conditions on that day.
The news spread in an instant. Inquiries flowed in from everywhere, but Nike just responded tacitly. Right now, a brown-haired beauty stood in front of a screen that was the only source of light in this darkened space.
“Right until today, this is a list of players who have announced their intention to participate.”
She pressed the remote control in her hand, and dozens of faces appeared on the screen. They were all celebrities. Anyone who knew Arena would want to meet them.
“With these candidates, we will have a better lineup than ever.” One employee who saw the screen admired it.
“Alley Leader has only one condition—only fill it with skilled people. So we now have to pick a total of seven people.” Kale looked at the photos with an expressionless face. Certainly, players who could be called superstars had their photos up there.
‘Reina and Mascherano aren't in the list, and neither is Reynold from Europe. It is a bit disappointing...’
Reynold was unofficially the strongest person in Europe. There were also rumors that he had met Rain and Teika in Arena and won. Moreover, he had a record of having defeated Mascherano in Arena Week last year, so this lent credibility to the rumors.
“We have a lot of superstars, but we need more PvP specialists. For now, we will select only four participants. We will make additional contact for the remaining three spots,” Kale stated.
Kale and those in the planning room had a fierce discussion. They were such famous stars that there would be no backlash no matter who was chosen. Nevertheless, there were minor differences. Only those who had the fewest or no disagreements with each other could appear in this episode of Masked Fighting King. Some could say it was a rather tricky selection.
‘There can’t be a single blemish on the stage where Alley Leader will appear.’
This was the stage for Alley Leader. That alone was well worth the effort.
“Who would you like to pick for the remaining one?”
After a long meeting, three participants were decided. There were a total of four people including Alley Leader. There was only one spot left to be filled before the meeting could end. The other three spots were reserved for more special people.
“I want to choose Locke. Looking at the latest Arena footage or last season’s matches, he seems to have grown enough.” A male employee recommended Locke as a candidate.
A rebuttal came immediately though.
His argument was clear. Locke still wasn’t enough to be world-class.
“He hasn’t shown anything. Even his arena ranking isn’t of a master,” Kale added. He had the same thoughts.
“That’s right. Locke is lacking. He hasn’t been verified yet. Let’s recommend other players. They are still many better stars than him.”
The meeting seemed like it would never end.

A message window flashed in front of Hyeonu, who was hunting hard. It was a message he had been waiting on for the last few days.
[The Yusma Empire’s delegation has arrived at the Yuxin Imperial Palace 1/1.]
It was the completion of the main scenario quest. Of course, this wasn’t the finale of the scenario, but it was one of the steps toward that finale.
‘The rewards... I have to go to the emperor.’
Hyeonu realized it when he saw the quest window. The subject of the reward was the emperor. Taking in a deep breath, Hyeonu opened the inventory.
‘It’s okay. There’s still a lot.’
He confirmed the number of bottles of alcohol he had from the East Continent. These ones were different from the last time and were for just in case the emperor wanted to drink. Hyeonu took a deep breath and headed to the emperor’s palace where the emperor would be. The emperor didn’t even open his eyes even though Hyeonu entered the great hall. He just continued to sit in his high throne.
‘The concept is really strange,’ Hyeonu murmured internally, but he never showed this thought on the surface.
Hyeonu bowed and greeted the Emperor.
After that, Hyeonu reported, “Your Majesty, the envoys have safely entered the imperial palace of the Yuxin Empire in the East Continent.”
Even though Hyeonu was done talking, the emperor took no action. He just stayed still. It seemed like an eternity passed by before the emperor finally opened his eyes and said, “Good work."
Along with the emperor’s short words, Hyeonu received a message informing him of the clearance of the quest.
[Exchange with the East Continent has been cleared.]
[Experience has been acquired.]
[32,124 imperial contributions have been acquired.]
‘Is he in a bad mood today? I should leave quickly.’
Hyeonu felt a sense of uneasiness from the emperor who seemed more bored than usual. His intuition was ringing.
“Your Majesty, I will go first.” Hyeonu threw a bait to escape. He would immediately leave the hall if the emperor didn’t say anything in return.
“I have something to say to you.”
If only it wasn’t for the emperor’s words… Hyeonu firmly grabbed hold of his desire to leave and put it firmly in place.
“What do you want to say...?” He asked nervously. Based on the way the emperor expressed his words, it seemed like there must be a problem.
‘Does he want to cut the support?’ Hyeonu wondered.
The construction of Phinis was still in full swing. Many places were completed, but there were still many places left to be finished due to the large-scale.
‘It will be over for Phinis if it is canceled now.’
He would go bankrupt. Hyeonu didn’t have the money to cover that much construction.
