"Don't ask too many questions about the Dragon Emperor's hidden intentions. He just wants you to win this match both fair and square. This is also all for you so that we can have that woman on our side."
No answer came out of Charles's mouth. Actually, deep down in Charles's heart, he refused to commit any fraudulent actions just to be able to win in a fight against a lowly human. From Charles's point of view, committing an act of cheating just to win against a human was an insult for the rest of his life.
It wasn't that Charles felt guilty about fighting against that human in a dirty way. What Charles was worried about was that the audience would find out about the fraudulent plans carried out by the organizers. Even the Vermillion family would not be able to escape the cheating scandal that would spread through the media throughout the world.
"I understand. Since it's a Berserker Pill, it won't activate as long as I don't exhaust most of my mana power. I'll do it just to be safe."
"Hm. Good boy. Charles, you are my only worthy heir. Don't disappoint the hopes of your father and mother. The hopes of the entire Vermillion family are now in your hands."
The father and son both showed serious expressions as they discussed the problems of the Vermillion family. Every generation of the Vermillion family had fought hard just to improve their image within the empire. And now the Vermillion family had reached the pinnacle of the empire, which gave them the highest status ever.
Next door to Charles's dressing room, my calm expression revealed nothing but my cold face. A set of armor previously given by Elize had been successfully used by me. The energy waves that had previously leaked out of my body were suppressed simply by using that Demonic Armor.
"Okay. All the preparations that need to be made are ready. I will go now."
Back outside the dressing room, the presenter was seen floating in the sky with a microphone beside his mouth. The sound produced by the microphone could easily reach the entire imperial capital.
Every region of the Dragon Realm could watch the match between Charles and me. Even the citizens of the Dragonia Kingdom began to cheer as they watched the match between the princess's fiancé and Charles about to begin. A giant hologram could be seen surrounding every corner of the royal capital.
Not only did the Dragonia Kingdom have holograms to show the match to all its citizens, but every being under the sky also had the opportunity to watch the great events taking place within the empire. Despite that, not all races had the chance to watch a battle between two incredibly powerful prodigies.
"It's about to start! We have to see who will win between the future son-in-law of the Dragon King Lucius and the heir of the Vermillion family. This will be the most exciting match that has ever occurred in the history of the Dragon race!"
Various citizens began to show their enthusiastic expressions as they stared at the figures of the two men who were now starting to walk together. However, the citizens were not too surprised when they saw Charles's figure walking out of the hallway. On the contrary, they were all a little surprised when they saw the figure of a human with extraordinarily handsome looks.
Moreover, the citizens of the Dragon Realm couldn't hold back their amazed expressions when they saw the human man's handsomeness. The two striking emerald-colored earrings on my ears were a bit of a surprise to the citizens of the Dragon Realm. It wasn't just the citizens of the Dragon Realm who were shocked when they saw the two earrings I was wearing right now. Even the people under the sky showed expressions of disbelief when they found out the level of the earrings I was wearing.
"Oh my god! That's a tier 7 artifact, and even the armor isn't lower than tier 5? How rich is the Lucifer family? They're even willing to give these precious artifacts to this human?!"
No one knew that the two artifacts I was currently using were gifts from Elize and Tina, apart from the people closest to me. There's no way the Lucifer family would lend me these two rare artifacts. On the other hand, one of the artifacts I had now was the result of my hard work after successful negotiations with Tifa and Tina.
"Humph. I'll beat you. It's not too late if you want to surrender right now."
Listening to Charles's trivial statement didn't make me show any emotion on my face. My indifferent expression only increased the anger within Charles. For some reason, Charles's previously arrogant gaze began to take on a fierce, beast-like quality.
"How arrogant. But I will ignore your arrogant attitude. Don't be surprised because I've successfully reached the Great Dragon King stage."
"..." Still, no answer came out of my mouth even after listening to Charles endlessly praise himself. Even after I stood in the middle of the arena, Charles continued to praise himself as if he considered himself the only talented man.
"Sigh... even though you only managed to become the first male dragon to have extraordinary talent because you couldn't win against two women who were far more talented than you. Don't be arrogant just because you are the only male dragon born with extraordinary talent. Because I will soon dethrone you from your 3rd rank as the strongest male dragon of the current generation."
Every word that came out of my mouth was heard clearly by every citizen throughout the Dragon Realm. Both the audience and the two fighters' families began to show amazed and angry expressions when they heard my candid statement. Intense anger could be seen on the faces of the members of the Vermillion family.
"Our dear Charles, don't lose! Give that human boy a lesson that will traumatize him forever!"
"Oh! This is amazing! This is the statement of the future son-in-law of the Lucifer family, Lucien La. Blackheart Lucifer! Will he win or will he lose in this match? Let's watch together and prove whether what he said is true or not!"
An involuntary sigh came out of my mouth. My focus right now was only on the opponent in front of me. Even if Charles continued to display his arrogant attitude in front of me, I would not answer any of his insults a second time.
'This man dared to try to snatch Athena away from me. I will not forgive him! I will make him pay for every single thing he has done to Athena in the past. Because of this man, Athena has been sad for half a year... I will never forgive the bastard who dared to ruin Athena's family life.'
