System's POV
chapter-59

If earlier no one was paying attention to the last challenger that was standing in the arena, now, everyone did.

Mikhail stood tall with a weapon in hand, and looked at the three covered cages that were about to be opened.

The moment these cages were opened three creatures emerged from it, and they made the people who were watching the battle gasp in surprise.

The first one was the Bronze Prime Ape.

Its fur was the same color as bronze, so people had called it so. It also had a very short temper, and would not hesitate to attack anyone that it saw.

However, on the Point Ranking System, the Bronze Prime Ape was only around 60 Points.

The second monster that appeared was the Golden-Butt Baboon.

Just like its name implied, the color of its butt was gold instead of the usual red color. It was a very territorial beast, and very fierce as well. Similar to the Bronze Prime Ape, it would also not hesitate to attack anyone who dared to come near its territory.

The Point Ranking System made by the Remington Clan only gave the Golden-Butt Baboon 55 Points, which was five points lower than the Bronze Prime Ape.

The moment the Bronze Prime Ape and the Golden-Butt Baboon saw each other, both of them roared at each other, preparing to fight.

Not many people knew, but these two monsters had an irreconcilable hatred for each other.

Their territories always overlapped with each other so Beast Wars between them were very common.

Perhaps due to the constant war between the two species, even their hatred for each other was transferred through their genes, making all their offspring hate each other with a vengeance.

But, just as the two Monsters were about to clash, the Third Monster was released, and it was none other than the Red-Eyed Chimpanzee that stood over three meters-tall.

The Bronze Prime Ape, and the Golden-Butt Baboon were both nearly two meters tall. But the Red-Eyed Chimpanzee towered over them.

Unlike the two smaller Monsters, the Red-Eyed Chimpanzee was given 85 Points by the Ranking System, making it a very formidable Monster.

But, as soon as it made its appearance, the two other Monsters seemed to have forgotten their hatred for each other and attacked the Red-Eyed Chimpanzee together, as if the two of them couldn't co-exist with it!

The teenagers and the guests, who were not very knowledgeable with the Ecology of Monsters, gasped in shock after seeing such a sudden turn of events.

The Veterans, like Gerald and Theodore, looked at this scene as if they had seen it countless times in the past.

The Red-Eyed Chimpanzee was a very brutal Monster that not only ate other creatures, it also ate its own species.

Yes. It was a Cannibalistic Monster. For most other Beasts though, eating their own kind and young was taboo.

Although the Prime Ape and the Golden-Butt Baboon treated each other like Mortal Enemies, both treated the Red-Eyed Chimpanzee as a threat that must be eliminated first!

Loud cries and shrieks reverberated in the surroundings as blood, flesh, and fur was torn off of the bodies of the Monsters as they engaged in primal combat.

They all ignored the child that was standing a good distance away from them, while holding a weapon in his hand.

For them, he wasn't a threat, and they could deal with him anytime they wanted.

It was more important to eliminate the biggest threats first before they handled the small fry!

Mikhail watched the battle unfold with a calm expression on his face.

He was holding his weapon firmly in his hand, never lowering his guard, and ready to act at a moment's notice.

Despite the two versus one scenario, the Red-Eyed Chimpanzee was able to hold its ground, and land blows, scratches, and bites on the two smaller Monsters, who were fighting against it in a state of frenzy.

"Who is that person?" Clark Ashford asked one of his subordinates.

He already knew what the outcome of the match would be, and he felt that the boy had stolen the glory that was supposed to be his.

"According to the information I gathered earlier, his name is Mikhail Leventis, Young Master," the teenage boy, who seemed to be around sixteen years old, replied in a respectful tone.

"Leventis?" Clark frowned. "Why haven't I seen him at any of the Family Gatherings? Is he a genius of the Leventis Family that they are training in secret?"

"No, Young Master," the subordinate replied. "He is the son of Gerald Leventis. The one that was kicked out of the Leventis Family several years ago."

"Ah… that person," Clark glanced at Gerald who was standing beside the ring with a smug expression on his face.

No matter how hard he tried to hide it, he just couldn't stop himself from smiling after seeing his son's performance.

"Should we bring him into our Faction, Young Master?" the subordinate asked.

Clark pondered for a bit before shaking his head.

"I now understand why he is at this party," Clark stated. "My mother said that Gerald Leventis was close friends with Elijah Remington and Vivian Remington. Since they are also at this party, it means that they were the ones who invited him.

"It's a waste of time to bring him into our faction because I'm sure that the Remington Clan will make a move to have him become one of Harry's Retainers."

Clark glanced at the boy, who originally thought that Mikhail was a pain to deal with.

Earlier, Harry had stopped his attempt to befriend and get close to Mikhail because the latter was only giving him one-word answers.

He thought that the handsome blonde teenager was a boring character, but now, his opinion of him changed drastically.

Only someone that was knowledgeable about the Monsters in Solterra could think up this kind of Monster Combination and, although he didn't want to admit it, Mikhail had stolen everyone's glory by using his knowledge to the fullest.

The first one to die was the Golden-Butt Baboon. The Red-

Eyed Chimpanzee was able to bite, and rip out a good chunk of its throat, making the Monster bleed to death.

However before it died, the Golden-Butt Baboon managed to blind one of the Chimpanzee's eyes, as well as seriously injure it.

The Bronze Prime Ape, on the other hand, managed to rip off the Red-Eyed Chimpanzee's right arm, making it roar in pain and anger.

Just as everyone thought that the Bronze Prime Ape would be able to go for the kill, the Red-Eyed Chimpanzee made a desperate lunge, and pinned the Bronze Prime Ape to the ground.

It then bit the Monster's throat, unwilling to let go, despite the BronzePrime Ape's attempt to shrug it off.

The Bronze Prime Ape pummeled the Red-Eyed Chimpanzee's head repeatedly, even scratching its eyes, making a bloody mess.

With both of its eyes blinded, the fervor of the Chimpanzee grew and bit harder into its enemy's throat until a cracking sound was heard.

The Bronze Prime Ape's flurry of blows ended instantly as its spine was broken by the Chimpanzee's bite.

However after losing its sight, it wasn't able to see that the young man, who was standing still earlier, was already upon it with his axe raised high above his head.

With a wordless strike, Mikhail landed the killing blow on the back of the Red-Eyed Chimpanzee's neck, aiming to chop it off completely.

Even though its skin, flesh, and bones were tougher than he initially expected, his Axe Strike landed true, cutting off the Monster's head completely.

A deafening silence spread in the surroundings as Mikhail stood beside the corpses of the three Monsters, with a calm expression on his face.

After making sure that all three monsters were dead, he walked out of the arena with a faint smile on his face.

Suddenly a clapping sound was heard, making everyone look in the direction where it was coming from.

There, they saw a seven-year old boy with black hair and blue eyes clapping his hands together to applaud his brother for a job well done.

Soon, more people started to clap and before long, a resounding applause spread in the event hall.

Arthur and Michael, who were watching from the VIP Room, looked at the two brothers with unreadable looks on their faces.

However, someone else spoke up, which made Arthur frown.

"Well, Arthur, it seems that your disowned Grandson has more balls than the rest of your family," Lawrence Smith laughed. "I guess he has the qualifications to marry into my family. Such a child will certainly be a good addition to the Smith Family."

Arthur rolled his eyes at the Old Fox, who had no idea what was truly happening.

'The real prize isn't Mikhail, but Zion,' Arthur thought. 'I'm sure that he is behind his brother's success.'

Of course, Arthur wasn't planning to tell this to one of his rivals. He now had a good impression of his grandson, who was not truly a part of the Leventis Family.
