Chapter 233
After hours of traveling across different regions and stopping at multiple pickup points, the enormous helicopter finally began descending toward its final destination. The fighters inside had grown quieter over time, the earlier tension settled into a heavy silence as everyone focused on the journey ahead. Some fighters rested with their eyes closed, conserving energy while others stared out the small windows, watching the dark land pass beneath them. Then the horizon began to change. At first it looked like a distant glow in the night, just a cluster of lights shimmering far away. As the helicopter drew closer, that glow expanded into something far larger. Aurora City. From the sky, the city looked almost unreal. Endless towers stretched upward into the darkness, their surfaces covered in glowing advertisements, giant screens projected moving images across the sides of skyscrapers while flying drones zipped between buildings like mechanical fireflies. The entire city pulsed wit

The helicopter climbed steadily into the air, the massive rotors roared loudly as the aircraft began traveling toward its next destination. Inside the cabin, the tension continued building. Many of the fighters kept stealing glances at Michael. Some looked nervous, others looked curious. A few looked openly hostile. Several minutes passed. Then one of the fighters decided it was the perfect moment to test the atmosphere, he sat a few seats away, leaning back casually with a smug expression and looked directly at Michael. Then he spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear, “The damn Scofield bastard looks fed and happy while others like us are forced to go hungry in our cities.” He smirked, “That doesn’t seem fair.” Silence immediately filled the helicopter, no one moved. Adrian slowly turned his head toward Isaac. “I assume this is what you meant?” He asked quietly. Isaac simply nodded. Michael’s eyes had been closed for most of the flight… Now they slowly opened. His gaze moved

The long awaited day of pickup finally arrived. For days, the team had been preparing for this moment. Training had grown more intense, conversations had become shorter, and everyone at the Scofield estate understood that once Michael, Adrian, and Isaac left for Aurora City, things would become uncertain. No one knew exactly what awaited them in the arena. Early that morning, the three fighters left the estate and headed toward the designated pickup point that had been provided by the tournament organizers. The location was strange. It was far away from the city, somewhere beyond the outer highways where the land slowly turned quiet and empty. The road stretched wide and smooth across open fields, cutting through the land like a long gray ribbon. There were no buildings nearby, no houses, and no sign of human activity for miles. Their van was parked on the side of the wide road, its engine turned off as the group waited patiently. Michael stood near the front of the vehicle with

The sun had already begun to dip below the horizon when Michael and Celia finally left the specialized training facility.They had spent nearly the entire day there. Celia had trained alongside him for part of the day, though she spent more time observing and assisting rather than engaging directly. Occasionally, she would offer small suggestions or remind Michael to take a break when he pushed himself too hard. By the time they finally returned to the car, both of them were exhausted. The drive back to the estate was quiet, night had already begun settling across the countryside by the time they reached the main gates. The guards recognized their vehicle immediately and waved them through without delay. Michael and Celia entered the meeting room together. Barry stood near the console, reading the new information with a puzzled expression. “There you two are…” He said when he noticed them. “More rules just dropped.” Michael stepped closer to the screen while Celia moved beside

Meanwhile in Terra. The atmosphere inside Mira’s strategy chamber felt far less composed. The glowing screens displayed the same tournament rules Michael had just read, but Mira looked like she had already grown tired of staring at them. She finally pushed her chair back and stood up. “All these rules are overloading my brain.” She complained and rubbed her temple as she stepped away from the screen. “As if I don’t already have enough rules to deal with.” Jace walked over and handed her a bottle of water. “You should take it easy, team leader.” Mira scoffed immediately, “Yeah, right.” She twisted the cap off the bottle and took a small drink before tossing it back onto the table. “I’m handing that over to you.” Jace blinked, “Really?” Mira shrugged casually, “Yes. Why?” Jace scratched the back of his neck with his mechanical arm, the metal fingers lightly tapping against the joint as he thought. “It’s just…” He said slowly and looked at her. “You never leave decisions to me u

Hours later, the list of participating cities continued to grow. The digital screen in the Scofield estate meeting room refreshed repeatedly as new territories accepted the invitation. What had started as a small list of fifteen names slowly climbed higher until it finally settled at twenty confirmed cities. The moment the twentieth entry appeared, the system updated automatically. A new tab opened beneath the list. Tournament Rules… Adrian leaned forward in his chair, resting his elbows on the table as the first set of rules began scrolling across the screen. “Here we go.” The first rule appeared clearly in bold lettering. Each city would send three fighters to represent their territory. A small diagram appeared beside the text, illustrating a three-person team structure. One position was highlighted above the other two, this was the Team Leader. The person occupying that position would be responsible for making tactical decisions during the tournament. They would determine who
