I'll Surpass The MC

Chapter 264 Grehha Stops Virala

Chapter 264 Grehha Stops Virala

"1118 Points!" Raaha's announcement echoed throughout the tent, causing the Mammoth Clansmen, both elites and masters to stare at Virala in shock, wondering who this monstrous teenager was.

'Is he like Resha?' A Settlement Leader frowned and observed Virala, inspecting the latter, 'Right, he's the same guy who argued with Resha the previous time. So, he's actually capable.'

Virala wasn't placed at the top, but his score brought him among the ranks of Settlement Leader teams. All the teams formed with Settlement Leaders only targeted Millinger eggs. Hence, their points were multiples of thousand.

Most of them were at thousand points while a few were at two thousand. Only Bora Tusk's team was at three thousand. But, it had to be noted that they hunted these Millinger Eggs in teams of five.

They were Settlement Leaders, basically the strongest Mammoth Clansman each Settlement had to offer. Virala, alone, managed to surpass the scores of most of these teams.

He didn't hunt any Millinger eggs. But he had gathered so many Centinger eggs to be placed in such a high ranking. No matter what, it was a testament to his strength.

'In the future raids for Pranic Beast eggs, he'll be sought for by the best raid teams.' The Settlement Leaders thought unanimously, silently making plans to rope him into their fold.

Virala wasn't married. His partner, Ruvva died in the First Major Disaster. And since he didn't have a kid, he was an eligible bachelor, one with endless potential.

"Grehha's team! 1028 Points!" Raaha announced next, shocking the crowd once again. Because, unlike Virala, Grehha's haul was small, with the reason for his high points being the Millinger egg he had brought.

Even though in terms of points, he was lower than Virala, in terms of contribution, he was higher. After all, he brought in a Millinger egg, something even a team of five Settlement Leaders had to risk their lives for.

Well, it made sense considering the Settlement Leaders had one Nature while Grehha had three. Moreover, all his three Natures were strong.

Raaha had made plans for Mammoth Clansmen to gain a Tertiary Nature, but the process regarding it was slow. None of the Settlement Leaders got one, since they waited to figure out a way to gain a Nature that complimented their existing power.

Simply gaining a Nature would do more harm than good, especially when thinking about the influence it had on them. Therefore, they weren't in a rush to obtain one.

While Grehha and Virala hogged the limelight with their insane haul, Yennda subtly placed his, causing Raaha to announce, "Yennda's team! 40 Points!"

It wasn't anything worth commenting about, even though such a score already overshadowed most elite teams. His score seemed lacklustre after Grehha and Virala's hauls.

"Is this the end?" A Settlement Leader muttered upon staring at the scoreboard in irritation, "Dammit, how did Yahard Tusk's team manage to get three Millinger eggs? It seems they won this contest."

"Not yet," Bora Tusk announced smugly, "There's one guy left."

Immediately in response, the attention of everyone fell on the tent's entrance, watching with bated breath as they noticed two streams of shadows, followed by a couple that sauntered in as if they owned the place, confident in their gait.

It was Resha, walking alongside Yahira, holding hands. There was an energy display as he entered the tent. Even though he didn't emit any, everyone could feel something from him, from his oozing confidence, of unquestionable presence.

'This idiot is showing off.' Raaha mentally rolled his eyes but didn't interrupt his disciple's little stunt. After all, observing what Resha had brought only made him excited.

'Bastard! Fucker! How dare you!' Killing intent exploded out of Virala, almost to an uncontrollable extent as he saw Yahira and Resha being chummy with each other. It made him realise that Resha had already become close to her long ago.

He knew her character after obsessing with Sumatra Chronicles for six years. Yahira wasn't the type to open up so quickly. The fact that she appeared pretty comfortable with Resha meant that she had opened up to him over time, implying that Resha had approached her long ago.

Resha casually walked past a Virala that was seething with murderous intent, muttering condescendingly, "Know your place,"

"Loser."

"This fucker…" Virala immediately intended to attack the eggs in Resha's possession, no matter how badly that might affect him next. He was that angry, for the character he was the most obsessed with in Sumatra Chronicles was none other than Yahira.

Ruvva and Luttrena, the women he screwed around with until now were merely stepping stones for his success. And the person he wanted to be on his successful side was none other than Yahira. But now, that option was no longer available.

Just as Virala turned around to attack, he noticed Grehha standing between them, acting nonchalant, whistling a soft tune. His intention was clear, and that was to ensure Virala couldn't harm Resha, even though the likelihood of it happening was nil.

"Are you on his side, bastard?" Virala took in a deep breath to control himself, trying his best to rein in his irrational impulse.

"I'm on my side, and mine alone." Grehha remained steady, his tone one of admonishment, "Are you willing to screw everything you built for a petty reason?"

"Petty reason?" Virala felt rage building up in him, about to explode at any moment. But when he felt multiple eyes on him, he calmed down, his rage strangely settling down, "You're right, Grehha."

"This isn't worth it."

"Well, you said it yourself." Grehha shrugged and turned around, pulling Virala closer to whisper, "Yahira is Resha's wife. He approached her on the day of our merger. So, you have no chance with her. Forget anything you've planned to woo her. That path is a dead end."

"You…seriously?" A couple of seconds later, Virala asked in shock, "They've already been in a relationship for that long?"

"You should have expected it the day you made a move on Ruvva." Grehha said, "Resha isn't an idiot. Don't underestimate the guy we raved about for six years."

He stared at Resha's back in all seriousness, "Whatever he considers as his belongs to him. Anything that we think we took from him are things he himself has discarded."

"Ruvva, Oyo…" Grehha iterated a list, "You see the pattern here? They're unnecessary for his growth. So, he didn't bother wasting his time and energy on them."

"I'm not an idiot. You needn't explain in detail." Virala snorted.

"Then act like it," Grehha chided, "Don't become arrogant just because you have become strong. That'll get you killed here. The Chief wouldn't stop Resha from killing you anymore since Blola has a breakthrough recently."

"He can revive everyone apart from Resha now," Grehha said. "Well, you can still go ahead if you wish to be controlled by Blola." 

"Alright," Virala nodded, realising that the conversation distracted him from Yahira's subject, removing all the rage from his system. He stared at Grehha and asked, "Tell me what you want."

"I know you didn't help me there for no reason."

"Perfect," Grehha grinned, "I need your assistance for a little something I've been researching."

"I'll be there, no worries." Virala said and turned silent, observing Resha arrive before Raaha as he thought, 'You won this one, Resha. I'll give you that.'

For a moment, he stared at Yahira's back as his eyes expressed longing. He then sighed, 'I guess this is fate.'

'I can't become Yahira's first.' He thought as his emotions churned faintly, 'So, I'll have to do the same shit I did on Earth.'

He stared at her, 'I'll make you experience the forbidden thrill of infidelity.'
