Chapter 69 Joffrey Gets Punished

Damian spoke with Darius about the situation. It was terrible, but not something impossible for him to handle. After all, he had the Slime Ring, which was helpful in many cases, especially the one he was currently in.

He returned to the tournament area to watch the rest of the fights that would happen that day, and Aurora saw him returning yet said nothing as she was the next one to fight!

"Wish me luck," she said, moving toward the arena after touching Magnus' shoulder, copying his ability.

Aurora's adversary was a famous person, yet unable to withstand the power emanating from Aurora after using the ability she got from Magnus. It was just too powerful for most of the students to handle.

Damian saw it and started finding the weaknesses and differences between powerful and weak superhumans.

They, for example, were weak and were starting their learning, so it was hard for anyone with a projectile ability to win against someone with a body-enhancing one because they did not have the reflexes or combat knowledge and were lacking in every aspect possible.

"It is easy to boost your body and punch your opponent to death than fight with strategy using your ability."

Not that Damian was saying the body-enhancing abilities were weaker, not at all, but they were easier to use. Still, all types of abilities had their worth and could make a person reach the top, but that depended on the person and not the ability.

Aurora won the fight with a roundhouse kick, sending the adversary flying across the arena to the shock of everyone present!

"She is beautiful and powerful!"

"A queen!"

Damian smiled after the win, and now that his two friends and the ones he was cheering up had fought, the rest of the tournament was not as exciting, at least not for the morning, as it would have more fights during the afternoon, after the lunch break.

Someone wanted to speak with Damian right after the morning fights ended, pulling his arm toward a corner. "what was that about? Steal something from this school? Are you insane?"

Despite trying everything when speaking to each other, Darius and Damian forgot that Serana was a vampire with supernatural hearing. Although Darius checked if anyone was using abilities to hear their conversation, her supernatural hearing was not considered one, so they did not feel it!

After realizing the mistake, Damian slapped his forehead and said, "Maybe we can talk inside your room?"

"My room? Why not yours?"

"Well, I have someone tied up as a prisoner, so yeah."

"…"

They went to Serana's room, and Hazel was there too! She and Serana were always together, glued, so Damian did not find it strange to see her there.

He sat on her bed and said, "so it is like this…."

Damian explained everything, hoping Darius would not get angry with it — if he discovered that Damian had shared the information, which was unlikely.

"You know there is a chance this mission of yours goes the wrong way, and you must flee for your survival, right?"

"I know it, but the rewards are quite good, and even if all goes wrong, I still have this bloodstone Darius asked me to get, and it must be important, or else he would not go for all this trouble trying to get his hands on it," Damian said.

"I see. Do you need any help with this mission?"

Deep down, Damian sat there with a hunch about the upcoming mission, as if things weren't going his way. Maybe he was hallucinating, but something was off, so he asked, "can you two create an escape route for us?"

Serana and Hazel were still under his command, still part of The Dawn, and of course, they were his friends at the top of that. So they gladly accepted the task, and instead of watching the afternoon fights with everyone else, the two worked on completing the job as quickly as possible.

After that, Damian went to his room and took out the slime from the mouth of that student, asking him if there was a way for him to contact Joffrey earlier than the stipulated date.

The stealing mission would happen sooner than expected, and Damian would not let Joffrey run free without any punishment, so he wanted to do it now!

Also, Joffrey would fight during the afternoon, so hurting him before the tournament would increase his chances of losing it, which was great!

"Y-yeah, you can message him using my phone."

Damian put the slime back where it was, covering the mouth of the student to make sure he would not scream, and stole his cell phone from the right back pocket.

"I found interesting things about the student you asked me to chase. Meet me in the alley after lunch, 1 pm."

After that, Damian left and went to lunch like an average student, eating with his friends Magnus, Aurora, and Vanessa was there too! But, after finishing that, he left the restaurant and went to the alley where he would meet with Joffrey.

It was the perfect place because no cameras might catch them in filming. Damian changed his appearance, covering his face with a black mask and outfit, wearing a long black robe resembling a dark magician.

He arrived first but hid, waiting for Joffrey, who showed up a few minutes later.

"Where are you? You ask me to come here, and yet you are late!" Joffrey thought, taking deep breaths and playing with his blond hair, trying to calm himself.

Damian was invisible, close to Joffrey, yet Joffrey did not notice anything. That was how weak he was and how powerful Damian's items were.

"How should I attack him? It cannot be too deadly."

He used his Slime Ring to create a hammer, appearing right before Joffrey, hitting the black hammer on his knees!

A cracking sound, "AAAAAHH!"

Joffrey screamed in pain, falling to the ground, unable to move his legs! His knees were damaged, and only a professional doctor would fix that!

"W-Who are you?" Joffrey said, almost unable to speak aloud the sentence, peeing himself with the fear of death.

Damian did not say a word but used his slimes to cover Joffrey up, like a cacoon, "no one can know about this, at least for today, as that could hurt my mission."
