My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 252 - 163: The Struggle for the Heir, As It Has Always Been
When Cezar first requested Cosimo to hold an exhibition match, Yaguba’s heart was somewhat uneasy.
He thought to himself, "You dark-hearted little kid, what are you doing, little kid!"
But on second thought, the little shark felt relieved.
First of all, Li Qingping is still here; he wouldn’t just watch Cezar get hit. Secondly, it’s just an exhibition match, even if the Second Prince harbors ill intent, he wouldn’t dare act in front of the Queen and everyone in the country.
In summary, this exhibition match would only impact the reputation of the two Princes.
If the reclusive Third Prince, making his first appearance after years, managed to defeat the Second Prince in a nationally attention-grabbing exhibition match, it would undoubtedly cause an unexpected sensation, and the Second Prince might be ridiculed for quite some time.
Even losing wouldn’t matter, as no one has any expectations for the Third Prince anyway.
"In this situation, which inherently provides a public opinion advantage, letting Cezar show some attitude is harmless, far better than seeing him become a pathetic failure who doesn’t dare to resist." That’s how Yaguba thought.
However, the reason Yaguba didn’t advise Cezar was that, deep down, Yaguba actually had some confidence in Cezar.
Except the source of this confidence was rather subtle:
——They’re from the same tribe.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Cezar is the "shark descendant" or some conspiracy theory, nor does it imply Yaguba is a noble among sharks (though he believes noble sharks are no more inferior than the courtyard nobles).
Rather, it means...
Both are "dark-hearted little kids."
The potential of dark-hearted little kids is self-evident: Ji Minghuan himself is the world’s one and only restricted-level superpower user, and Sun Changkong is the holder of the mythical-level Anecdote Fragment.
This is sufficient proof that the potential of the "dark-hearted little kids" race is unrivaled, standing at the pinnacle of the world.
It’s also recorded in the Salvation Society’s visit log.
...
Ji Minghuan: "Mentor, mentor, which is the most powerful superhuman species in the world?"
Mentor: "Dark-hearted little kids."
.....
Moreover, the world’s dark-hearted little kids seem to come with a "curse on family" buff: the notable incident of Kid No. 1 beating the Refrigerator Demon; Kid No. 2, in a frenzy, ended up killing his foster parents.
With visible multiple buff boosts, Ji Minghuan believes that even if Cezar suddenly goes berserk on the battlefield and defeats the Second Prince, it wouldn’t be anything unusual.
"Cezar, make sure not to disgrace our dark school tribe." Yaguba thought, flicking his tail in the crystal ball, "Show some racial buff, would you?"
At this moment, on the royal stand.
Second Prince Cosimo sat silently on the stone chair, exchanging glances with Cezar for a while.
Then the former snorted coldly and looked away.
"Let’s go." Saying that, Cosimo stood up from the stone chair and took out a "Moving Stairs" and "Pigeon Messenger" from the Anecdote Atlas.
"I hope brother won’t hold back." Cezar said calmly.
Cosimo’s face twitched slightly, and he forcefully crushed the two cards.
A flash of colorless light passed by, and from the edge of the royal stand, an almost transparent floating staircase slowly extended; a white pigeon carrying a mailbox appeared on the back of his hand.
Meanwhile, a letter suddenly materialized in Cosimo’s hand.
He drew his finger in the air, glowing text spread out on the page, forming a line of plain black text imprinted on the paper, then he placed the letter into the mailbox on the back of the white pigeon. The pigeon flapped its wings, flying towards the host.
In the Beast Fighting Arena, the crowd was still immersed in the Royal Court Team’s seven people’s fleeting performance, discussing fervently.
At this moment, the host looked at the script, just about to use the "Floating Speaker" to present a closing word, but was suddenly drawn to the incoming Pigeon Messenger.
"Really troublesome, can’t you courtyard people introduce phones?" Yaguba lay sideways in the crystal ball, thinking, "Not understanding how to stay alert and keep up with times, no wonder they’d be eaten by sharks."
The host checked the mailbox on the pigeon’s back in surprise, found the sent letter inside. Tore open the envelope, glanced at the content of the letter, then exaggeratedly widened his eyes, his eyebrows dancing, loudly saying:
"This this this...just now, I received an amazing news, the Third Prince Cezar and the Second Prince Cosimo will be holding an exhibition match in the Beast Fighting Arena!"
Using the Anecdote Fragment "Floating Speaker," the host’s voice echoed throughout the arena.
After these words, the whole place fell silent, followed by an unprecedented burst of cheers.
Li Qingping was slightly stunned, slowly halting his steps. He turned around, lifted his head, looking up at the white-haired blue-eyed youth on the royal stand.
"Prince Cezar..."
He murmured silently.
On the royal stand, Carolina advised, "Cezar, Cosimo, you both should pay attention to safety and tact."
"I understand, mother," Cosimo said expressionlessly in a low voice, "I won’t bully third brother."
"I understand, mother," Cezar smiled slightly, softly said, "I won’t accidentally kill brother."
Lorenzo was slightly stunned by the words, the smile on his face slightly fading.
Cosimo turned his head, looking coldly at Cezar: "What did you say?"
"I said I’m not like my brothers... I won’t lay hands on family."
With those words, Cezar turned around, without looking back, stepping onto the floating stairs, leaving behind a calm silhouette.
