Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System
chapter-303-30041322

While the members of the young generation were all discussing their next course of action, or directly doing what they had planned beforehand, the representatives and spectators waited in the rock platform while the Trident Marshal prepared the portal back to Warhammer city.

So now that the young generation wasn't present and the only ones left were the "adults", appearances were dropped a lot, specially because everyone was gathered in a small space such as the rock platform.

To the surprise of no one, the first ones to enter in conflict were the neo nobles and the nobles, the Blackfin Duke and the Stellar rank who personally greeted the Trident Marshal earlier to be more specific.

"What the hell do you mean with that, Dominic!", the Blackfin Duke suddenly raised hic voice while he let out some of his mana pressure, making those who were surrounding him to take some distance.

"Humph, I'm just stating some facts, why should the father of a criminal hold the title of Minister of Security, just because you are from an old noble family, Eugene?", the neo noble Stellar rank who turned out to be called Dominic answered in a sarcastic voice as a violent red battle aura radiated from him.

The other people took some distance from them, because their energies were clashing causing explosions and sudden discharges of fire and a black-green smoke from time to time.

"I have heard that the old nobles and neo nobles don't get along, but isn't this a bit too heated for a small discussion?", asked Underwood, the patriarch of the Bamboo Forest sect.

The other patriarch started mumbling to each other enjoying the gossip, even some of the nobles participated as well.

The king saw it and he cleared his throat to draw their attention.

"General Dominic has always had a small feud with Minister Blackfin, over the position of Minister of Security, I hope this little display don't make you honored guests uncomfortable".

Most of the nobles took the hint and stopped participating in the gossip, but the people from the Elemental Sea were enjoying the show.

The mother of the crowned prince, heard some comments that involved her son, as he couldn't unify the kingdom and other small talk and she gritted her teeth before saying.

"A general's status is lower than a Minister, Lord Dominic should be aware of his own position, this is what happens when a non-prepared person gets a noble rank through backdoor means, humph".

This time even the patriarch from the sects stopped, the king had already spoken for the royals, so no one else should have said anything, at least not anyone from the king's "faction", but she did.

And the king actually gazed at his wife, but before he could say anything, Annete's mocking voice interrupted him.

"Military ranks and civil ranks work in a different way, the only Minister who is above in terms of status compared to a general, is the Archduke Arcarius who is only equaled in authority by uncle Vincent, you should know that given your own position Irma".

The mother of the crowned prince herd Annete not only refer to Vincent as "uncle", but openly reprimand her and even calling her without any honorifics and she nearly lost it, but the mother of the twin princes placed her hand on Irma's shoulder as she shook her head.

"Enough, Lord Dominic, Minister Blackfin, fighting is a disrespect for our guests", the voice of the king followed by his mana pressure separating the two Stellar ranks who were still glaring at each other with clear disgust for the other.

The Blackfin Duke turned to see the king and then bowed his head as he spoke with an aggrieved voice.

"My king, this psycho has wrongly accused my son and purposedly slandered by Blackfin family which has protected the public security of the kingdom, for the past ten generations, your subject requests a disciplinary action to teach that savage some manners!".

Dominic snorted and then spat on the ground before he took out his red war spear out of his storage ring.

"Protected the public my ass, in case an idiot with a silver spoon from birth like you has such a bad memory, where were you when the pirates entered the kingdom causing the death of many decent young seedlings, not to mention your own son betrayed his country fellows just to save his ass, king White, I request for you to strip the tittle of Minister to this idiot for his faults!".

The Blackfin Duke was shaking due to anger, he looked at Annete from the corner of his eyes, but as much as he wanted to get angry at her for the "rumors" which were in fact the truth, about his son, she only stated that in exchange for the legacy of his family, she wouldn't execute his son on the spot, everything else was out of the table.

The king wanted to mediate give the reason to the Blackfin Duke, but since Dominic mentioned the death of the descendants of other nobles, if he did, he will be criticized and in the current chaotic status of the kingdom that would be dangerous, so he was now trapped between the sword and the wall.

But then an old but gentle voice drew everyone's attention.

"Since the source of all this problem is the young generation's actions, why not let that be the solution itself?".

The king as well as the Blackfin Duke, Dominic, the representatives from the noble clans and even the patriarchs of the sects from the Elemental Sea turned to see the old Aurora who spoke a moment a go.

"Would senior Aurora care to elaborate?", asked the king, trying to take advantage of the chance to break the dispute without having to favor anyone.

"Well, I have heard that the second son of the Blackfin family is the most talented in the history of his household, but at the same time the merits earned by the young spear from the neo noble factions had reached the ears of the people from my Elemental Sea".

"So why not let the result of this events determine who is in the right, upbringing is a big reason of the young generation's performance after all, so through them we will get to know who has been responsible and who isn't, don't you agree?", asked the old woman.

The nobles, patriarchs, the royals and even the neo nobles had to agree with the words of Aurora, which was what she wanted to make her next move.

"Of course, I hope you don't mind me joining this little competition, how about a Half Stellar rank worth prize of the election of the winner, regardless of who wins this will become a little "visit" to see the treasury of he other, so it's a chance for the young generation to know another sea, since I'm the one suggesting it, I will cover the Elemental Sea in this little bet, what do you say?".

The patriarchs who were sweating a bit earlier let out a sigh of relief, it wasn't a secret that Aurora favored the "rising star" that saved her granddaughter, and while they recognized his potential, handing out a Half Stellar worth prize was out of question for them, at least for an event that didn't take place in the Elemental Sea.

"Oh, I like senior's approach, I Dominic have never been a coward unlike a certain someone, count me in!".

The Blackfin Duke heard Dominic calling him a coward and he snorted.

"My family has millenniums of history, I can easily disburse a Half Stellar rank prize, specially since it will be staying in my Clear Water kingdom", said Eugene as he nodded at the king, implying that the winner will be either his son or the crowned prince.

The king was all smiles right now, but as he was about to enter the bet too, he was interrupted once again by Annete who was playing with a lock of her beautiful hair.

"I'll join in too".

Upon hearing Annete's words, most of the people present gazed at her, Mellie isn't too social nor renowned as she normally stays at home, so everyone thought the queen was just showing her little sister some support, as she could afford to lose due to her status.

The king on the other hand raised an eyebrow, well knowing Annete wouldn't do anything without a certain amount of certainty, but ultimately, he discarded his worries, his son has shown him his real abilities in private and he was sure that even the son of the Blackfin Duke of the young spear of the neo noble faction, were a bit short in comparison, besides how could he as the king chicken out when his subjects have accepted the bet.

"I thank senior Aurora for her generosity, my White family will also participate in this friendly bet, and will make sure that all the parties follow their word, any objections?".

"Let this old man join the fun too, whoever wins it will have a positive effect in both our seas, so I don't see any downside to it", Vincent who just finished preparing the portal back to Warhammer city, also joined the fun.

The other nobles as well as the patriarchs were now more interested in the event, despite the fact that they knew their chances of winning weren't too high.

This time Vincent stayed behind while the others crossed the portal, and "coincidentally", the queen was the last one to enter, so as Annete walked next to him, she mumbled.

"What did I tell you uncle, arrogant people will do whatever to keep face, just a little spark was needed".

"Now we just need to see if our expectations of that little fellow pay out or not~".

After saying that Annete entered the portal with a calm and happy expression in her face.

Vincent bitterly smiled as he stole a gaze at the Wild Tide Reef, before he turned around and entered the portal closing it behind him, not without thinking.

'When it comes to strategy even this old man wouldn't like to face you lass, I just hope you know what you are doing as this could come back to bite us if that little friend doesn't win'.

The portal closed leaving only the sound of the water streams, and the echo of the conversations some of the participants of the beast hunt were having using the rest of the thirty minutes of no fighting granted by the Trident Marshal.

...

While the other teams were tagging with others, Daimon and the girls walked near the countless water bodies trying to find the one they wanted, of course other people asked them to join, but it was a farse as all of them were subordinated to either one of the royals, the Blackfin young master, or Adam.

"Miss Delphini, would you like to team up with my Fierce Tiger Shark family?", asked the same guy who ended up gifting Daimon the key to the Black Armored Shark lineage.

Unfortunately for him, Mellie simply shook her head without even saying a word, which made his false smile to freeze on his face.

"I see, the crowned prince sends his regards, have a nice day", as the guy low key threatened Mellie, he tried to leave just to hear Daimon's mocking voice piercing his ears like a needle.

"Some people won't cry unless they see a coffin".

The shark guy slowly turned to see Daimon with bloodshot eyes, while Daimon didn't mention anything, the first and only time he has been humiliated has become well known in the noble circle, so of course he was harshly reprimanded by his family, so that comment hit a sore spot for him.

Still the tule of no fighting was still in vigor, so he just swallowed his anger by swearing to take revenge as he left.

Daimon suddenly turned to the left just in time to see a hole appearing on the ground, from which water poured out, his amethyst eyes glowed behind the mask, as he dragged the Risha sisters, Aisha and Mellie with him.

"It's going to be a little turbulent, ladies, so hold onto something".

Without letting the girls say anything, Daimon jumped into the water dragging them with him.

A second later a tried to follow them, but the hole in the ground somehow closed which made it just hit the ground.

"Tch", the figure clicked its tongue and then jumped in the closest entrance followed by about twenty people.

At the same time, the restriction stated by the Trident Marshal officially finished and the magic beast hunt, which will lead to a change in Neptune itself started.
