Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Garnett's handsome face was expressionless.

"I really don't find this place interesting, and many of your actions, Lady Eliga, have made me somewhat unhappy. Let's leave it at that for today."

"Kanril is indeed a very boring city, both in terms of people and things."

After saying that, Gane threw the chips in his hand on the table and got up from his seat.

Elijah quickly ran forward and caught up with Gane:

"No, no, Your Excellency, there are many interesting places in Kanriel. Please wait a little longer; we'll be able to go up to the second floor soon."

Garnett laughed upon hearing this, but his smile was icy:

"Was I not clear enough, Lady Eliga? Since I have already said that Kanriel is a very boring city, then that is a settled matter. I am not discussing this with you."

Gane spoke quite loudly, and the customers at the surrounding tables all turned their heads. Most of the people here were from Kanriel, and they were certainly uncomfortable to hear Gane's evaluation of Kanriel.

Elijah's expression changed repeatedly. She already disliked outsiders, and now that Gane had humiliated her, she felt extremely aggrieved, but she had no choice but to endure it, since she had no way out.

She spoke, her tone pleading:

"The Cabinet—"

Before she could finish speaking, a magic circle rose up beside her neck, binding her tightly like a black collar, making it impossible for her to breathe.

Elijah's face flushed red as she reached out and grabbed both ends of the collar, trying to pull it open.

However, when she unleashed her power at the fourth rank, the collar remained completely still.

Soon, her body went limp, her vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground. Just as she was about to suffocate completely, the collar around her neck disappeared.

Gane canceled the magic circle, walked step by step to Elijah, looked down at her, and said coldly:

"I heard you're one of the strongest players in Kanriel at Golden Apple Garden. Now do you understand the gap between us?"

"Since I've already said that Kanriel is boring, then Kanriel is boring. You don't need to refute it, and you have no right to refute it. Do you understand?"

Chapter 167 Shocking Change!!

"Since I said Kanriel is boring, then Kanriel is boring."

Gane's words echoed throughout the casino, lingering in the ears of everyone present.

Everyone's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but Gane clearly didn't care what others thought.

He walked to Elijah lying on the ground, slowly squatted down, and looked at Elijah panting heavily:

“I’ve actually been very patient with you, Elijah, and the same goes for this city. I’ve given it too many chances.”

"But both you and it have disappointed me."

"My biggest feeling after arriving here, besides boredom, is backwardness. The thinking here is too backward, the development is too backward, and even the people are so backward."

With each word he spoke, the expressions of those around him grew increasingly grim, yet no one dared to stand up and refute him.

Elijah made no attempt to conceal her appearance, and most people recognized her. Her strength as a fourth-tier upper-level cultivator was already among the top tier in Kanriel, but she seemed utterly powerless in front of the man before her.

Therefore, even though everyone was extremely unhappy with Gane's words, they could only endure it at this moment.

Gane turned around, looked at the crowd's angry but silent expressions, and sneered:

"See? This is how this city is. Even after being humiliated like this by me, no one dares to stand up at this moment."

“What they said is true, this city does need to change, so I came here. I came here to completely change this city from beginning to end.”

As the man spoke, he stood up, dressed in black, on the red carpet. The shadow beneath his feet slowly spread outwards, as if to engulf the city.

His words made those around him turn pale.

What does it mean to completely change this city?

Even Elijah, who was on the ground, looked shocked and confused upon hearing these words. She wiped away the tears that had just welled up in her eyes and looked at Gane in disbelief, thinking that she had misheard.

Gane lowered his head and noticed Elijah's expression:

"It seems that Lord Rivers did not tell you, so I will announce it now."

"Because in recent years, apart from the capital, only Rowanpu has performed relatively well in the Golden Apple Garden competition, while other cities have performed poorly, the original competitive significance of the Golden Apple Garden has been lost."

"Therefore, the kingdom has decided to send some of the top seed players from the capital to other cities to lead the top seed players from those cities to compete in this year's Golden Apple Garden."

"Besides me, there are two other seeded players who should be coming to Kanril later. As the team leader for this trip, we will work together to transform this backward city."

"Of course, if anyone in Kanriel thinks they can beat the three of us, they are welcome to try challenging us. You are welcome anytime if you really think you can do it."

When he finished speaking, Gane laughed, a laugh full of disdain.

He raised his hand, and streams of magic, like thick ink, surged from the back of his hand, spreading throughout the magnificent hall. Wherever it passed, the carpets curled and cracked as if aged, and the gambling table shattered into pieces.

His hand, like the center of a dark magical vortex, shimmered with clusters of dark light, and a black number appeared on the back of his hand:

【NO.27】

"Let me reintroduce myself: the capital city, [Dark Raven], Gane."

"On this trip to the Golden Apple Garden, I will lead you to capture at least two golden apples, so that this city can get rid of backwardness and boredom."

“I will choose a talented vassal in Kanriel to help me with miscellaneous tasks. After the Golden Apple Garden ends, he will be qualified to return to the capital with me, and even… take charge of Kanriel.”

Gane's words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, causing everyone present to gasp for breath.

The king himself sent people here. Is he trying to change the political landscape of Kanriel?

It should be noted that there are many fifth-tier beings in this city, but this young man in front of us is so outspoken, showing no regard for them whatsoever. Where does he get his confidence from, and how arrogant is he?

In an instant, a scene appeared in the minds of everyone present: a map of the entire Kingdom of Dorant, with the capital as the center, and geniuses streaking across the map like shooting stars, their trails dazzling and brilliant, before landing in other cities.

The kingdom's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall structure or framework of the kingdom) may be about to undergo a major change.

In the corner, Luo Xiu, playing the mushroom monster, stood watching the casino, now a mess after being affected by Gane's power, his eerie eyes darting around.

……

The plain outside the back door of the casino.

A few miles to the east.

There were individual houses scattered across the plain. It was already late at night, and most of the houses had their lights off, blending into the dark night sky.

However, some houses still had faint lights on.

For example, one of the detached houses had emerald green exterior walls, and dim light squeezed through the window glass, spilling into the courtyard and illuminating it slightly.

Of course, despite being called a small courtyard, there weren't any living plants inside.

Because this is Kanriel.

So the golden sunflowers in the yard still stand tall even at night, the roses bloom all year round, and the ivy truly stays evergreen.

These were all custom-made by the owner of the courtyard, costing a considerable amount of gold coins.

Inside the room, Baal sat up in bed and opened the lid of a basket by the bedside a little, making the room brighter.

Looking through the gap in the lid into the basket, you can see pieces of stone that glow with a pale green light.

These stones are called spring stones, and they are Baal's favorite source of light.

Barr walked irritably to a table in the room, picked up a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp.

Even though it was so late at night, he still couldn't fall asleep.

Every time he closes his eyes, the image of Luo Xiu beheading Gallo on stage flashes through his mind.

He was there that day too.

Sitting in a corner of a tavern, I watched the entire duel through the reflection of a derivative magic circle.

He was in a state of shock all day. First, he was shocked to find that the person he was going to attack was actually Master Tata's student, then he was shocked to see Luo Xiu cut Gallo in two, and finally Luo Xiu actually fought four people by himself.

Oh shit.

Barr got angry just thinking about it; the veins on his hand bulged as he gripped the water glass, making the wooden cup creak.

He wasn't angry that Luo Xiu had won the duel; on the contrary, he was glad that Luo Xiu had fought that day and that he had witnessed it. Otherwise, it would have been him, Baal, who was now dead.

He was angry at that damn Larry guy.

After returning home, he felt increasingly uneasy and finally realized that this was a trap set for him by his "old friend".

He specifically asked him to find Luo Xiu, and concealed Luo Xiu's identity and strength, because he wanted to see him die at Luo Xiu's hands.

He should have realized sooner that the guy who could stab his father in the back was definitely no good.

Chapter 168 Baal's Greatest Secret

Baal's gaze was gloomy, and his once youthful face now drooped, looking somewhat terrifying under the green fluorescent light.

He remembered that he had never provoked Larry over the years, yet Larry actually wanted him to go and die!

Whenever he thought about how Luo Xiu had cut off Gallo's head without getting hurt, he couldn't help but put himself in Gallo's shoes.

Larry sending him to capture Luo Xiu alive is no different from sending him to his death!

In his shock and anger, he was also extremely relieved. Fortunately, he had restrained himself that night and had not been as impatient as before; otherwise, the Knights would only have nine vice-commanders now.

"Damn Larry, you better not get through this operation in the capital peacefully, or I will definitely..."

Baal's voice was fierce, and an aura of death unconsciously emanated from his body. The water glass in his hand visibly decayed and turned into a pile of wood chips.

Bal shook the sawdust off his hands, took a deep breath, and began to rethink.

He was determined to avenge Larry, but the most important thing now was how to reach the coveted fifth tier without the opportunity Larry had mentioned for advancing from fourth to fifth tier.

He's not young anymore; at his age, personal grudges don't seem so important anymore.

If Larry were to come and give him the opportunity to advance from the semifinals to the finals unconditionally, he could immediately forget his hatred for Larry, act as if nothing had happened, and the two of them could still be good friends, hand in hand.

As long as we can advance from the top four to the top five, nothing else matters.

So how exactly do you advance from four to five...?

He stood up and paced back and forth in the room. In fact, he had been having a plan in mind these past few days, but he had been hesitant to make a decision.

But today he couldn't hold back any longer.
