Arran had suddenly appeared out of nowhere surprising Brianna and everybody else.Looking at Arran who was calmly leaning against the wall of the cave, it was like he had always been there from the very beginning and he had seen what had transpired between Brianna and Conrad, only that nobody had noticed him.As soon as Brianna set her eyes on Arran, the cold and frosty air around her suddenly thawed and the temperature in the cave started to heat up once again.As the icy aura around Brianna faded away, her skin that had taken up the shade of a winter morning started to lighten up and the paleness in her skin developed a warm hue.Brianna's face had turned red and she blushed very hard up to her ears with hints of tears in her eyes as she stared at Arran deeply.At this moment, no longer was the cold and icy Brianna present but she had been replaced by a girl who looked like a warm ray of sunlight shining through frosted glass.There was a cu

"I hope you will not refuse my gift. This is both my offering of apology as well as a gesture of my appreciation for you helping me during my time of need. It would make me sad should you refuse to take it."Brianna implored Arran to accept her gift.It was true that Brianna wanted to apologize for being rude when she had previously pried into Arran's secret and it was also true that she was trying to thank Arran for helping her when she had fallen unconscious.Brianna was quite sincere regarding this.But while all these were true, underneath her gesture of sincere apology and thanks, there was another reason for Brianna doing this.Arran did not think much about Brianna's offer not did he consider what her motives were.He simply said, "You don't really have to do this. we have already agreed to cooperate together this time so it is only natural that I helped you. I only did what I was supposed to given the circumstances especially since I

Somebody walked out of the cave and who else could it be if not Arran.Finally, after such a long time, Arran felt that it was time to confront the alliance...putting an end to this farce.When Arran calmly walked out of the cave, the first person to recognize him was Winston, and seeing Arran again made Winston unconsciously let out a loud gasp."Ahh!"Hearing Winston's gasp, the alliance leaders who had been paying close attention to Arran and were watching his entire moves, all turned to focus on Winston instead. The main leaders then asked him."Do you recognize that person? You know who he is don't you?"Startled, Winston furiously nodded his head and he replied."Yes... yes, I do. I can never forget that despicable face even if I wanted to.""It was this bastard who had ambushed me and had stolen my token. This bastard is the reason why have had so much bad luck in this elimination round. Oh, how I wish I could just grind

"It is indeed my fault not taking you into consideration at all brother Arran. My face is truly not worth as much as yours is so it was truly presumptuous of me to ask for you to give me face. For that, I sincerely apologize."Carrum shamelessly apologized to Arran surprising everybody there. Nobody expected that after all the insults Arran had piled up on Carrum that he would be so magnanimous as to admit he's wrong and apologize.Although not many people were familiar with Carrum but everybody knew that for somebody who was able to gather most of the defeated participants in this ceremony, this kind of person would never really be so humble.It takes more than sweet words and a vision to lead a group of people and at times people needed to be ruthless to be able to hold steadily onto their position.Although ruthlessness was frowned upon by others, but to certain people... especially leaders of any organization or group... being ruthlessly held its own

Arghhh!!Charge!!Brothers, kill!!Sounds of yelling could be heard coming from the entrance of the cave and both Arran and Brianna silently waited for the members of the alliance to finally charge into the so that they could finally get started and fight to their heart's content.After what seemed like hours but was in fact only just a few seconds, the first member of the alliance finally appeared.After running into the cave, this alliance member first saw Arran as well as Brianna as they waited at a place that was not far from the entrance with their weapons held at the ready.Upon seeing Arran, even though this member was surprised to see that he was not the only one waiting for them, he did not seem to care and he immediately raised his weapon and yelled his battle cry."Brothers, follow me. Kill!"At once, after yelling his battle cry and encouraging his fellow alliance members, that participant charged towards Arran head
