The sudden request from Miguel took Klaus aback. Of all people, he never expected Miguel to be the type who saw the bigger picture. Klaus had expected him to use their misunderstanding to make things difficult, but strangely, Miguel seemed to see reason and offered the leadership position to Anna, the second ranker during the Regional Trial. Of course, Miguel wouldn't choose Klaus. While he might have been the bigger person for choosing Anna, he hated Klaus far too much to appoint him, let alone take orders from him. Anna, who had been offered the leadership position, stood there in a daze. Managing a small group of warriors was one thing, but an entire 1,000 warriors—each a genius in their own right—was asking for too much. She wasn't ready for something like that. "You'll do fine. Just do what you do best and lead," Klaus said with a reassuring smile. Anna sighed and then walked forward. "First, we need to find a place where all 1,000 of us can meet and have a proper discussion before taking any immediate action," Anna said, her tone commanding, just like a leader should. "There's a conference room in our resting area; we can use it," a young lady suddenly spoke from behind, and everyone nodded in agreement. "Then let's meet there after dinner today," Anna continued. "And please, come with an open mind. We want this meeting to go well, and more importantly, we have to do well and win this for our region—and for our War Goddess." Everyone nodded at the mention of the War Goddess. Klaus, who was sitting calmly watching Anna, smirked. He knew she was using Miriam's authority to subtly warn anyone planning to cause trouble during the meeting. It was a brilliant move. While many might doubt her, the reality to many was that the War Goddess was Klaus's older sister, and Anna was Klaus's friend. So it wouldn't be difficult to get Miriam involved, which everyone knew wouldn't end well for them. That woman is just unreasonable. After issuing her command, everyone dispersed to get a good look at the valley before the meeting. Klaus, along with his friends, also left the building and decided to take a stroll around. However, they had just left the building when they were blocked by ten individuals. It only took a single glance to know they were minions of someone. "It would be best if the big dogs came out instead of sending their lackeys," Klaus said, eyeing the ten youngsters before them. As expected, it didn't take even a second for Ethan and Max to appear from behind the ten individuals. "If it isn't the two Nobodies from nowhere," Klaus said with a mocking smile, his words cutting deep. Calling Ethan and Max—two of the most influential Legacies—"nobodies" was a low blow, even for Klaus. Klaus wasn't holding back with his words. He knew something was off. Ella Duncan wasn't there—but he didn't care. Since the two had decided to be his punching bags while she was off doing whatever she wanted, Klaus would mentally dismantle them. In some way, it was a win-win-win-loss situation for them. "Just keep running your mouth, soon, you will come begging," Ethan said as lightning flashed across his gaze clearly trying to intimate Klaus. "Ethan, buddy, why is your skin glowing? You wouldn't happen to have applied baby oil, would you?" Klaus suddenly asked with a mocking smile. "It's true! I heard he has a closet full of baby oil," Lily added, making Klaus and his friends burst into resounding laughter. This further dug deep into Ethan's heart, making him want to rip Klaus's head off his body right there. Max, seeing that Ethan, who had been the calmest at first, was about to lose it, quickly dragged him away along with their ten lackeys. "We should probably head back to the resting area before these legacies pollute our people and make things difficult for Anna," Klaus said after the two legacies and their lackeys were gone. He knew since they couldn't openly fight, he could only use his big mouth to torture them. His words certainly made an impact. Since they were prohibited from fighting while in Sinji Valley, Klaus knew people would start using underhanded tactics to get back at him—and he was right. Max and Ethan, now sitting in the Central Region's section, glanced over at their sister, Ella Duncan. "Was it successful?" Ethan asked. "Yes, I managed to pull the top leaders from the Western, Southern, and Northern regions to our side," Ella replied. "What about the Eastern Region?" Max asked. "Since that bitch Anna Ross is their leader, I sent people to the third-ranked individual, but he rejected the offer. Don't worry, though—I have my people working in the background. Klaus Hanson will get what's coming to him soon enough." "Nice one, Ella. We need to prepare for our region, too. This time, we'll show Klaus Hanson who he has messed with," Ethan said, clenching his fist.
