Next opponent

"WOO-HOO, THAT'S MY GRANDSON! GOOD JOB PUTTING THIS ARROGANT BRAT IN HIS PLACE" laughed uproariously Grace while raising both of her hands in the air.

"...."

"...."

"...."

Everyone was shocked by her behavior, and when they remembered that she was currently the head of their branch, they just wished for this competition to end quickly, so this woman would step down. They didn't even care who would become their next head, because anyone would be better than this woman!

Even Alex's daughters weren't shouting with joy, but there she was, shouting like a fan finally meeting their idol after years of worship.

Even Alex felt a little embarrassed when he heard his grandmother's voice and words, but after a moment, he just chuckled.

'This woman will never change'

Soon, Grace finally calmed down, allowing Adrian to call back all the participants so they could draw lots to determine who is going to fight whom.

"You promised that the fight wouldn't last more than a minute, but it took you nearly ten minutes?" said Amelia with a pout when she regrouped with Alex.

"Haha, I'm sorry about that"

"Humph! Just apologizing won't cut it!" Replied Amelia with her same pouting face.

Alex leaned against her and whispered in her ear with a teasing voice.

"What do I need to do so that my woman will forgive me, say anything you want, and I will bring it to you"

Amelia blushed when he called her his woman. She still couldn't believe that their relationship had changed from siblings to lovers, but it's not like she didn't like it. In fact, she felt really happy that he was referring to her as his woman. It almost made her want to jump on him and ride him right here and right now, but she didn't have a death wish, so she restrained herself.

"You know perfectly what I want~" whispered back Amelia with a sultry voice.

Knowing what she meant by this, Alex became speechless. They have done it for three whole days just two days ago, yet she already wanted to do it again ?

'This woman is insatiable' thought Alex as he looked at Amelia who had slightly red cheeks.

"What? You didn't think that having sex just three days would quench my thirst, right?" questioned Amelia incredulously.

"I have been waiting for years, so there's no way three days of doing it will satisfy me~" finished Amelia with a sultry tone.

"I understand, so, after this competition ends, I will make it up to you by-"

"What are you two whispering about ?" Interrupted Talia as she walked towards the pair of siblings.

"Ah, n-nothing interesting" replied Amelia as she distanced herself from Alex.

"It didn't seem like nothing to me, and why are you blushing ?" Squinted Talia.

"It's really nothing" dismissed Amelia.

Seeing that Amelia didn't want to tell her about what they were whispering about, Talia turned to Alex. The moment she saw his smiling face, she immediately got irritated, took Amelia's hand, and planned to pull her away. However, she hadn't even taken a step when she heard a teasing voice coming from behind her.

"Woah, not even a word, that's quite harsh of you, don't you think so my lovely Talia"

The moment she heard Alex's words, Talia's anger flared up, and she turned around with fiery eyes.

"Don't you dare ever call-"*

"Your attention here," said Adrian, interrupting all the chatter happening among the participants; even Talia had to shut up.

She shot Alex a menacing gaze before turning her attention to Adrian.

'Scary' thought Alex.

Meanwhile, Adrian started speaking.

"Since Alex won his battle against Nox, we will now proceed to drawing lots so that each of you knows their opponent," explained Adrian.

With that, each participant went to a small box containing a ball with a number written on it. They showed the number to a short man with black hair, dressed like a butler, and then returned to the center of the arena.

"Who do you think will be your opponents?" asked Amelia as she glanced at Talia, then at Alex.

"I don't know, but I wish it's that pervert, so that I can beat him to death" replied Talia as she gazed hatefully at Alex.

"Sigh, can't the two of you try to bury the hatchet?" asked Amelia, exasperated.

"What are talking about ? I don't have anything against my sweet Talia, quite the contrary! Also, I know that deep down in her stone-cold heart, she still loves me deeply" replied Alex while using his hand to make a love symbol that he placed on his heart while looking at Talia.

"Who love you ? I would rather end up single than-"

Before she could finish her sentence, the large screen glowed and showed the fight card, where each participant could see their opponent and those they might need to fight if they won.

Alex raised an eyebrow when he saw who his opponent would be.

He then looked at the location where two men totally identical could be seen standing next to each other, looking at the screen.

'Which of you is it ?' Wondered Alex as he looked at the twins, trying to see if he could discern which of them was his opponent.

He didn't have to ponder for a long moment as one of the twins suddenly glanced towards him.

'So that's you'

With a smile, Alex waved to greet him, but the twin, En, completely ignored him and turned to speak to his brother, who was having a staring contest with one of the participants.

'Rude!'

"Sh*t, I didn't have this pervert as my opponent" cursed Talia.

Alex looked at the screen to know who her opponent was and recognized that it was one of old man Adrian grandkids.

'From what I know she is not really that strong, so, Talia will surely win. Who might be her next opponent if that's the case?'

'Oh, interesting'

Talia's next opponent was none other than the winner between him and En, so if he won, there would be a good chance that his next battle would be against Talia.

She also noticed this fact, which is why she was grinning as she said to him:

"You better win your fight, so I can have the chance to wipe the ground with your ass"

With a lecherous smile, Alex replied:

"Of course, I will win. How can I miss a one-on-one meeting with my beautiful and busty Talia?"
