Supremacy Games

Meanwhile, on the monitoring floor, Mr. Rodrigas had just switched the screen to Felix after seeing that Sylvia was retreating with her dazed teammates.

He could see that Felix had already returned to the same tree and started brushing the messy fur of his tail like he didn't leave his place for even a second.

Meanwhile, the battle of Noah and the rest was just about to be concluded in their favor.

It was obvious that without Felix's hypotension inducement, the battle wasn't going to be as fast as usual.

"What do you think?" The Vice-president asked while staring at Felix.

Understanding what he implied, Mr. Rodrigas responded, "I guess there is no doubt anymore about the captain's position."

The supervisor of the US team, who was watching the big screen from behind them, asked out loud, "Sir, how many points should I give him again?"

Mr. Rodrigas just waved his hand dismissively, "Give him a hundred or so. It doesn't matter anymore when he is 100 points above the 2nd ranker."

The supervisor did as he was told and soon the points next to Felix's name on the list had changed from ]470[ to ]570[.

Mr. Rodrigas glanced at it for a second before looking at the countdown at top of the screen.

Seeing that only 7 minutes left, he turned around and coughed two times to attract the supervisors' attention.

"Sir!"

All of the supervisors made it clear that their ears were in his hands, as for their eyes? They never left their screens.

"I just want to remind you to keep a close eye on those three types of juniors during those couple of minutes." Mr. Rodrigas extended three fingers, "First, juniors who disobeyed the orders of the captain about the flag's ownership. Second, those who attempt to snatch the flag either now or at the last minute. Third, those who start fights!"

"Any one of them will get automatically a hundred points deducted!" Mr. Rodrigas followed, "As for those who voluntarily gave away their flags to their teammates, reward them with 100 points!"

"Understood?"

"Yes, sir!" The supervisors shouted loudly while having their eyes glued to the screen watching the arguments in each team either start to accelerate or deaccelerate.

This was the entire reason why the points system was implemented in the first place. The Organization knew that at the last minutes of the competition, there were bound to be juniors who would do anything to secure a flag.

Even snatching it from their own teammates!

There was no way in hell, the ESG Organization was going to put such an individual in their earthling's team.

They understood that everyone was desperate to be part of the chosen hundred. But to disobey the captain's orders, backstab their own teammates, and doing more messed up things just to get in?

That wasn't desperation but a complete lack of emotional control and intelligence.

After all, they were told that everything was being monitored 24/7.

Yet, those retards still think that making it in the team was possible even after showing such disgraceful behavior and moronic decision on live TV. Hence, the lack of emotional control.

The ESG Organization wanted none of them in the earthling's team!

They approve of being competitive and driven for success, but such toxic behaviors that were going to affect not just their teammates but the planet as a whole were definitely not welcomed in the earthling's team!

Currently, those supervisors were butchering the points of those bloodliners, who actually performed quite well but ended up without a flag.

Meanwhile, those who kept their emotions in check and just remained silent were given extra points.

All of the supervisors were tapping on their screens rapidly, adding and deducting points...Except for one supervisor.

He had his hands behind the back of his head while watching speechlessly Felix pushing the two extra flags in Olivia's hands!

His public reason? He wanted Olivia to have a secure shot at making it in the main team!

The supervisor didn't know what procedure to take as each flag represents one hundred points.

For Olivia to have three, he didn't know if he should reward her or not. Thankfully, Mr. Rodrigas came to the rescue as he was watching the interaction of the US team as well.

"Give them to her." He ordered.

"But sir..."

"Just do it." Mr. Rodrigas clarified, "Her points are already high enough to be within the top twenty. It wouldn't matter much if she was at the end of it or at the front of it."

Upon hearing so, the supervisor stopped hesitating and keyed it in.

Soon, Olivia's rank had straightaway jumped from 18th place to 3rd place, having only a ten points difference from Sylvia!

'The Chinese won't be pleased.' The Supervisor chuckled slightly at the sight of Zhang Wie getting pushed down to 4th place by non captain junior.

Deep down, he wanted to see Olivia surpass even Sylvia in points.

Too bad, Olivia didn't have any other way to get points when there were only two minutes left in the competition's lifespan.

"Prepare the extraction helicopters!" Mr. Rodrigas smiled faintly as he praised the supervisors, "Good work for the past seven days. Your contributions won't be left unrewarded."

"Thank you sir!"

...

Two minutes later...

"The competition has officially been concluded. To all participants, please stop fighting in the next 30 seconds. Otherwise, you will receive a heavy punishment."

This sudden announcement had echoed in the forest from every drone, making it impossible for anytime to not hear it.

Just to be thorough, it repeated three times in the air and the last one was delivered by the Queen personally.

After hearing it, no one dared to fire a single ability or throw a punch.

If the punishment was just disqualification, some of the juniors wouldn't care and carry on fighting since in their eyes they were already disqualified without a flag.

However, a heavy punishment by the Organization was a completely different story.

"Please remain put in your positions and wait patiently for the extraction helicopters. Don't be alarmed if it got delayed by ten minutes or more." The announcer suddenly added, "In the meantime, your AP bracelets' features had been restored so as the Queen's assistance."

The moment Felix heard so, he straightaway called for the Queen with an emotional voice, 'Welcome back, I missed you.'

'Thank you, Sir Felix.' The Queen responded with her usual monotonous voice.

'You don't miss me?'

'No.'

'I guess my love for you is one-sided.' Felix teased with a smile.

'I appreciate the feelings, Sir Felix.'

'Can you stop being so creepy?' Asna interjected in their conversation.

'What do you know?' Felix scoffed, 'The Queen's place in my heart is bigger than your losing streak against the elder.'

'Are you sure about that child?' The Jörmungandr chuckled and took a shot at Asna as well, 'She is already on 50 lose streak.'

'For real?' Felix was shocked, 'Asna how can you be so bad?'

'Fssss!! F*ck you both!!' Not able to retort smartly, Asna relied on her instinctive mechanism of curses and insults.

Then, she cut off the connection to not hear anything else from Felix.

Felix chuckled to himself and requested the Queen to show him his messages inbox and emails.

The moment the two holograms popped off, Felix noticed that both of his inboxes were on the verge of exploding.

Since those inboxes weren't related to his Landlord persona, they were mostly congratulation messages sent to him by his grandfather, the elders, George, Sarah, and he even spotted a message from the President of the US.

After reading it, he smiled faintly before closing it. The president simply thanked him for his superb performance and securing ten representative slots for the country.

Now, the US was going to have the most votes in the World Council. Although they were just ten, Felix knew that it would be making a large difference in the decision-making of the planet.

Not that he cared about those political matters.

In his eyes, as long as the World Council didn't shit the bed by doing something stupid like detaching the planet from the Alliance or declaring a war on other planets, they would not be his problem.

'Queen, please contact Fatty for me.' Felix requested after closing down his two inboxes.

After a couple of rings, the call was connected. Felix immediately informed Bodidi to bring him those five sand bottles to the same hotel room.

Felix knew that the teams would be sent back to their hotels for three days break before meeting again in the Olympiastadion.

After receiving confirmation, Felix hung up and lifted his head, looking at the approaching helicopter. The noise produced by its rotor blades gave it away.

He didn't expect that it would arrive in the first minutes of the announcement.

'I guess this is one of the perks for the future captain of the team?' Felix grinned slightly and jumped down the tree.

Whoosh Whoosh!

Soon, the Helicopter threw stair-like rope for them to climb up since there wasn't an open area for it to land.

Felix glanced one last time at the black forest, which was turned into a real black forest due to the hundreds of battles and skirmishes happening during the past seven days.

He sighed and thought, 'I hope the Council uses the UVR resources to grow new trees quickly and restore the forest's vitality.'

Felix didn't remember if the Council did so in his previous life or not, and he wished dearly that they spend some of their fat capital on the forest's restoration.

Otherwise, he would take it upon himself and donate a million or two to take care of it.

He might be an asshole to humans, but Felix adored animals and nature. He wasn't cheap to not help those wild animals get their forest back in shape again.
