Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

This woman was beautiful in the most ordinary way, with no hint of any makeup whatsoever.

She was wearing a red and white loose silk overcoat, with sleeves longer than her hands.

Around her neck, there was a white scarf. Her hair was light brown, and her eyes were black.

At this time, there was a bowl in her hand, from which she was taking light sips of green tea.

Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at Kai.

Just as their eyes met, the woman raised her eyebrows, looking quite shaken.

But Kai didn't give her a chance to see more into his gaze, and he faced the right side of the empty chairs.

One of the two Contestants sitting there was not unknown to Kai.

Moraine the Elegant was wearing a light white T-shirt, her large breasts sticking out of them like two giant mounds.

Under the t-shirt, she had put on jeans, and with her long legs, she looked like a famous model.

There was a wineglass in her hand, held with the most elegance a person could muster.

She too sensed Kai's gaze, and the smile on her lips vanished for the briefest time before returning to an even wider scale.

She nodded at him and then tore her gaze off.

To Moraine's left, there was a middle-aged man, with a rather lost look planted on his face.

He had short orange-colored hair, and there were whiskers on his face for a beard.

The most striking thing about him was the cut across his upper bald lip, branding the left corner of his mouth with a hideous scar.

The Protectors!

This wasn't the 4th-floor, where Kai had met Viscount Lucas Arbuthnot, assassinating him later.

Nor was this place the venue of the 1st stage of the Tournament of Worth which had restricted all Contestants' Stats.

It could even be said that this was the first time when Kai saw and met genuinely strong Contestants from the 6th floor.

It was more so when one considered the fact that the Protectors already represented the true height of power a Contestant could achieve in the Primordial Tower within a Set.

Kai took a deep breath, sensing the heart-palpating danger his instincts were catching off these four individuals, and finally looked at the empty chairs.

Haha! He couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

If Kai wasn't wrong, then these four high-back chairs were meant for the Protectors of the major Characters at the Port Royal, i.e. Elizabeth Swann, William Turner, Governor Swann, and Captain Norrington.

Kai's Side Mission in this Switched World had taken care of their presence already, though.

If it hadn't, then these Protectors could very well have turned out to be top-level 6th-floor Contestants.

Such individuals didn't give a reason for their absence.

Nor could anyone demand it from them.

If they arrived, they would naturally assume a seat for themselves on the four chairs. If they didn't, then these seats would remain empty.

Only Kai here knew that these seats were already fated to never feel the warmth of asses tonight.

Seeing all that was to be seen, Kai walked toward the rows of tables from where a dense smell of meat was coming off.

A few of the Contestants were picking some side dishes there, chatting rather drunkenly.

…

"Ahoy! Matey! Looking forwar' to seein' Elizabeth's boobs tomorrow, eh?"

"Hehe! I wouldn't mind a touch…"

"The Lead Protectors haven't arrived yet…"

"Hey! Who do you think among these four are from Chaos?"

…

The last question had come out of Kai's mouth.

The moment his voice echoed, silence fell upon the nearby Contestants.

There was fear, hate, contempt, and murder in their eyes.

"Attending your first Night of Truce, are you?" an old Contestant asked, not unkindly. "I would advise you to just enjoy, and be yourself, without raising unnecessary questions, young lad. You look pretty. Perhaps one lass will let you fondle her breasts, eh?"

The nearby female Contestants frowned at the old man disgustingly.

In return, the old man slapped the plump ass of one of them, resounding a Pa sound.

Ah! "You!" the female Contestant fumed, her chest heaving up and down.

The old man winked at Kai, ignoring the panting female.

Kai suddenly felt a touch of respect growing in his heart for this old man.

He was just trying to provoke the Contestants, trying to make sense of the limit to which he could stretch things. But this old man buried the growing tension in no time.

"A kid like you should eat to your heart's content," the old man neared Kai, as he sensed the anger flashing across the female Contestant's face. "I heard the Protectors have brought many Pokemon and other magical creatures this time."

"I am hungry," Kai said, smiling. "I think I will just eat everything."

"Oh?!" the old man looked unconvinced. "If you can eat the meat dishes placed on the table, then this old man will gift you the condition of initiating a great Hidden Mission."

"Is that so?" Kai laughed. "Keep your eyes open, then, old man."

The commotion that the old man and Kai had caused had already garnered a bit of attention from many.

Kai sat down on the ground and shouted, "Bring meat!"

The old man's eyes gave a rather playful glint, and he ran, bringing with him a large plate of meat and other dishes.

Kai then tore off the leg and started eating, his speed neither fast nor slow.

This wasn't common flesh, but Mana-rich meat.

It needed proper cooking, chewing, and digestion.

Otherwise, it could throw off the balance of a Contestant's strength.

Meat kept appearing on the plate, as a courtesy of the old man, and Kai kept devouring it like a beast.

At some point, someone placed a jug of ale beside him, too.

The surrounding Contestants enjoyed the scene, betting on how much Kai would eat before giving up.

But not all were looking at Kai with favor or enjoying this debauchery.

…

The two female Contestants, one of which had got her ass slapped by the old man, were among the latter.

As they began speaking, most of the girls standing around them stepped close to hear their words.

"Both this old man and this person are carrots from the same field," one girl spat, scoffing at them.

"Humph!" the butt-slapped Contestant rubbed her ass and snorted. "Isn't he Red, with a 13,000,000 bounty on his head? Heh! Who knew he's not only a murderous lecher but a glutton, too."

Her friend nodded, seeing Kai gulp down a mug of ale in one go.

"But he's so handsome…" she whispered. "Such a shame!"

"Don't be. I am sure it's not his true appearance."

"You mean…"

"Yes. I know these kinds of Contestants. They take a handsome appearance before the mission, coax newbie female Contestants, and take advantage of them.

"I almost fell into this ill scheme once, too. But I only gave my Code Name and demanded to meet the handsome Contestant in the Primordial Tower.

"Tch! He turned out to be a fatty. This is even worse than the dating apps from my previous life."

"This?! But can't we confirm their appearance?" a girl on the sidelines gasped.

"You are still naive! They rely on Polyjuice Potion..."

Almost all the girls threw a nasty look at Kai. "Scoundrel!"
