Malakai was just about to speak when a youth's scream suddenly cut through the conversation.
"H-hey! Look at the rankings!"
The gazes of Octavia and Maximus narrowed. Both of them, along with the other youths, clicked on their Lifeguards to check the rankings, only for their eyes to explode.
"This is unreal!"
"How is this possible?"
The youths muttered in disbelief. They couldn't believe their eyes.
The shock spread throughout the west as the rankings suddenly flickered across every screen.
"No way!"
"Is that even possible?"
Murmurs of disbelief rippled across the entire region, even reaching the Sanguine Clan.
Inside the hall where the Sovereign and countless powers were gathered, many eyes were wide. This time, the expressions of the other veins had darkened considerably.
They had still not recovered from Malakai's earlier stunt, and now, many had shifted their focus away from the boy himself and instead stared at the name written boldly on the screen.
