Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

The men, who chanced upon the conversation of the two females, eyed Kai with a disgusting look, too.

None could deny that Kai indeed looked incredibly handsome, strong, and charismatic if one just ignored the beastly manner in which he devoured the meat and ale.

His muscles were chiseled, not fat or thin, and there was a salty ruggedness about him that made the young girls' hearts tremble with imagined tales.

All such imagination came to a crash when they realized Kai had just assumed this appearance to coax women.

All Contestants had changed their appearance a bit, using one way or another, but it wasn't to this drastic measure.

And even if Kai were to say that it was his true appearance, who would believe him?

Scoundrel he might be, but was he stupid as well?

The concept of Switched Worlds had long been buried and forgotten, and none here were Worthy enough to know such privileges.

Kai listened and ignored everything, and kept eating, the taste of spicy and honeyed flesh melting in his mouth.

He truly wanted to push the Protectors' buttons, forcing them into an unavoidable corner.

If he were to return, knowing nothing about them, then this trip would become meaningless for him, despite the food.

-Master, master,- Selene hissed inside him. -Save a little for me.-

Oh, right! Kai nodded to himself, took out a large box, and started to stuff bits of meat into it.

"Damn! He truly ate everything!" the old man scratched his head. "Who knew?!"

"Brother… the dishes are free, but that doesn't mean you will keep eating unscrupulously, either," someone said threateningly.

"Indeed. We all contributed to these dishes. You just came and ate everything."

"Make this lecher do something for us," the female, whose butt was slapped, sneered. "Let's make him dance with female clothes. Haha!"

Kai behaved as if he had heard nothing. He licked his fingers, rubbed his stomach, and then frowned. "Why did the food stop coming, old man?"

"You!" the old man pointed at him, astonished. "You still want to eat more?"

"What? I didn't eat that much, did I?" Kai laughed, mocking the crowd. "Isn't this the Night of Truce? Tch! I couldn't even eat properly."

"Here!"

This shout had come from afar, making all look toward the bonfire.

Moraine had stood up, and then flicked her hand, throwing a gigantic piece of roasted flesh.

"This?! That's meat from Uncommon magical creatures. "What luck?!"

The roasted flesh landed on Kai's plate and gave off a powerful aura, full of Mana and Breath.

Kai grinned, looking at Moraine's breasts. "Wonderful! Can't wait to eat some … elegant meat…"

Rascal! Scoundrel! The crowd cursed.

"Told you he's just a frog hoping to become a dragon," the butt-slapped female sneered. "I heard Ms. Moraine is ranked within the Top 10 of this Tournament of Worth. Don't you fear that lightning will strike you to death, you scoundrel?!"

Kai's heart shook inwardly.

A rank within the top 10 was truly a magnificent feat, especially when this rank included Contestants from both Chaos and Order.

"Not only that, but Ms. Blade Singer, Mr. Hadoken, and Mr. Aloof, all had gotten a rank within the top 50," one Contestant said, eying the four Protectors.

"HAHAHA!"

This laugh was grand enough to make everyone shudder in fear and respect.

The crowd parted, and the man wearing Karate gi walked toward them.

"Mr. Hadoken! It's an honor to meet you…"

"Mr. Hadoken…"

"How powerful! Mr. Hadoken, you truly are great!"

Hadoken eyed Kai, who kept eating the elegant meat without sparing a glance for the Protector.

His laugh then intensified, and he nodded at everyone.

"Enjoy, eat, dance, and sing, fellow Contestants," Hadoken said. "My 42 rank is nothing, to be honest. You all must have heard of…

…. the Five-Crowned Prince."

A sudden, and suffocating, silence swept through all as this name was mentioned.

Even Kai pressed his brows at the name, wondering who this person was.

"My Captain is a member of a major organization, Mr. Hadoken," one bald Contestant said, walking out from the group. "He mentioned this name, but nothing else."

"I know a few things," the old man mumbled. "The Five-Crowned Prince… He is…"

Moraine elegantly approached the crowd, and before the old man could complete his sentence, she added her own words.

"The current leading rank of the Tournament of Worth," she said, smiling, her eyes dreamy with respect. "The Contestant… desired by the Kings!"

Kai: "…?"

…

Silence! Gasps! Shudders!

"Cough! Cough!" Kai choked on a bone and had to hammer his chest to vomit it out.

Mr. Hadoken scowled at him.

"Now that is someone who truly deserves our respect, someone worthy and powerful enough to catch the Kings' attention," he said, staring at Kai. "I wonder, what rank you got, my friend? Surely, with your appetite, you must have passed the 1st stage, right?"

A wave of mocking laughter surged among the crowd, led by Mr. Hadoken himself.

Only the Contestants who had passed the 1st Stage got a rank, whether they had given up during the 2nd stage later or not. It was known.

All indeed laughed at him, cursing him and calling him a lecherous scoundrel.

But four Contestants didn't.

Moraine, who was eying Kai with an odd gaze; Blade Singer, who was drinking her tea; Aloof, who seemed to be lost in his memories; and the old man.

"How about this?" Mr. Hadoken said, putting an end to the laughter with a raise of his hand. "Why don't we two have a friendly fight, huh? I will only use one hand. After eating so much, the least you can do is entertain others, right?"

"That's right…"

"Serve him good…"

"Beat the shit out of him…"

Kai felt a surge of joy, but outwardly he frowned. "Are fights even allowed on the Night of Truce?"

"Coward!" the butt-slapped female cursed.

"Haha! No, they aren't," Mr. Hadoken answered. "But with the absence of Lead Protectors, we four are the overseers of this event. For you, my words are the rules. If I say it's allowed, then it is. What say you all?"

Everyone howled in agreement, their blood pumping after getting drunk.

Moraine, however, pressed her brows, sensing something was wrong.

Kai threw the leftover meat into the box and then put it into his MRB shamefully.

"Sure," he nodded. "But what if you accidentally killed me?"

Mr. Hadoken smiled evilly at Kai. "Well, the thing about accidents is that they just happen now and then, kid."

"Now, now, don't be…" the old man said, eying Kai weirdly. But his voice got drowned by the cheers of the crowd.

Kai held back his smile and nodded.

"You are right, Mr. Hadoken," he said, licking his lips. "Accidents… happen, more often than not."
