TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

Inside a luxurious mansion on some distant property...

The place had a lot of workers walking around carrying things and doing many tasks.

In one of the rooms, there was a group of people sitting and eating. Three women and two men. Two of them were middle-aged and the other three looked young.

The five had characteristics of orcs mixed with beings of other races.

"Sohkal, how's recruitment for the War Game going? You need to win this War Game so that we can get that property. There is a great place to build a base for our family" The middle-aged man asked one of the youth.

"Dad, I'm going to win this War Game to claim that bitch's body and property." Sohkal spoke arrogantly. He was already imagining that his fight would be easy and without any problem.

"Son, it's good to think that way, but you can't think you've won too soon. This is a very dangerous thing. Even if you bribed four of the participants she hired." The middle-aged man was the father of the three youths at the place.

"Dad, this is not very worrying. She even left her property and traveled to Mudwell City in search of three more participants. My spies say she managed to find one on the way, but I don't know much about that person's power because he is not someone famous." Sohkal spoke in a dismissive tone.

For him, his participants have already won the War Game without needing to know about their opponents.

"Son, why did you decide to make this War Game a show for a wedding arrangement? We don't even need that woman, we just need the property. The woman is irrelevant, in the world, there are many women like her" The middle-aged woman commented curiously. She doesn't know why her son wanted Belshee.

"Mom, I don't even care about that bitch. I just want her to suffer the humiliation for looking me down. She may be a noblewoman too, but she is weak and without any kind of power or influence, how can someone like her look down at me? I don't accept that." Sohkal spoke irritably.

As a nobleman, he liked to look down on others. But when someone does that to him, that person needs to be more powerful and influential than him.

"Brother, what are you going to do with her if you win the War Game?" A beautiful young woman beside him asked.

"I will make her my personal doll. I will dissolve the wedding arrangement and turn her into a toy for me and the other nobles to play with" He replied pervertedly.

"Ohh ..." The young woman didn't even care at all about her older brother's words.

No one cared about what Sohkal was going to do with Belshee, they just wanted to know about the property she had.

"Dad, what's special about that woman in the Gasholl family?" The other girl asked. She was the youngest in the family.

"My dear daughter, you are still young and you don't know much about the world. That property belonged to a very powerful and influential old man in the kingdom. He was a relative of one of the oldest members of the royal family, but he preferred to live the retired life in isolation in a low-level place like this." The middle-aged man explained.

"Dad, why does this woman have this property? Does she or her family have any connection with this old man?"

"It seems that this old man's adopted son is the grandfather of this woman from the Gasholl family. But as he didn't trust his own children much, he gave it to his granddaughter. A person he had confidence in. Because of this, many relatives and even her parents felt jealous and envious. Many of them want this property, even if they need to make a deal with rival families to get a piece of the property"

"But dad, you still haven't answered me what is it about this property that makes it so special?" The young woman understood that the property belonged to an influential person within the kingdom, but what was it about the property that made Belshee's relatives want the property as well?

"My dear daughter, according to the studies of the earth mages, within the area of ​​the property there are a lot of rare minerals, but it only serves for low-level places like this. The kingdom government knows about it, but they could not force the old man out of the mansion and neither did the royal family. The royal family ordered that only the owner could mine the site. So many families covet the property. Fortunately, we were the first to get the War Game. That woman cannot refuse a War Game unless she has participated in one before."

"Ohhh ... I didn't imagine that" The young woman was surprised to hear that. She didn't think that a property like that would have so many expensive and valuable resources.

"My sister, the former owner of the property knew about it and it was for this reason that he took that property and built a mansion and several small villages around it. It seems that crystals have the power of wood and water element, because of that the property is a great place to be used to plant things and raise animals "

"I see ... But brother, if you win this War Game, will the other families also not try to do something against us?"

"Yes. Because of that, we made some agreements with some other families to share the benefits "

"Oh ..."

"Master, I apologize for interrupting your meal, but I bring you news about the last three participants that Miss Gasholl chose" A man dressed in butler clothes appeared in the room.

"Marko, what did you find out?" The middle-aged man asked. He was the master of the butler.

"Master, I found out that the fifth participant is someone she met halfway to the city. This person is quite powerful and managed to fight about ten or twenty nocturnal creatures at the same time. The other two participants are two of his slaves." He reported.

"I see… This woman from the Gasholl family found a powerful participant to help her. Son, what do you think of that?"

"I will bribe him so that he does not help that bitch like the other participants."

"Master, I don't think that will be possible. It seems that Miss Gasholl let him stay at her mansion and even gave him some maids so he could have fun. He hasn't left her mansion for the past few days"

"I see ... What about these two slaves, are they strong?"

"This is something that this butler doesn't know. The only thing that is known is that they did not pass the second Wall Challenge."

"I see… Among the seven opponents, I bribed four, these other three are strangers… Marko, I want you to tell those four to attack the man that bitch hired. When the War Game starts, the four must attack him."
