[601-800] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 705: Tournament of Astros: Letter

“Show me!!” Franklin yelled as he swung his fist infused with an overwhelming aura.

Bang!

George crossed his hand and blocked Franklin’s fist. Then, he raised his foot and kneed his opponent on the stomach.

Ugh!

Franklin groaned in pain. He looked up as he saw his opponent move above him. Then, he felt a pain in his back as his figure crashed on the ground like a meteor.

Bang!!

George didn’t stop. Layers of flesh covered his body as he threw several dozens of energy balls at Franklin’s position.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

He suddenly opened his eyes widely and stopped firing energy balls. A ray of blueish energy abruptly came out of the smoke. It flew toward his position with insane speed.

Luckily, his reaction speed was honed to the limit so he managed to shift his body before the beam landed on him.

Bang!

The smoke was blown away as a loud sound echoed within. Franklin was standing with his body covered in wounds. Well, the wounds quickly disappeared in a split second as layers of flesh enveloped him.

“It’s truly magnificent. The essence of battle is something really worth experiencing.”

Franklin said with a faint smile. His mouth cracked widely almost reaching his ears.

…

Inside the guest room…

Souta was observing the envoy of the Mine Valley. He was a man with short green hair and tan skin. He was wearing a black coat on top of his white vest.

He introduced himself as Jeoban.

There were four people inside the room. Aside from Souta and Jeoban, Edward and his son were also present. They were the ones who brought the envoy here and they also wanted to accomplish something so that they could show to City Lord that they were useful.

“So… What did the Governor of Mine Valley want from me? If I’m not wrong, I didn’t stretch out my hand from the nearby city and I’m staying here ever since I took the position.” Souta said without changing his expression.

He wasn’t afraid of this envoy. Jeoban only had a power level of initial A-rank and Souta already scanned him. So he was sure that this guy wasn’t carrying anything dangerous with him.

“City Lord, I came here to deliver the message of the Governor.” Jeoban bowed before he took out a letter. He raised it in front of Souta.

“Hmm…” Souta stretched out his hand and took the letter. He opened it and read the contents.

Jeoban stared at him while waiting for his reply.

Edward and Alan, the second son, didn’t have any idea what was written in the letter. They simply stood at their position not daring to interrupt the City Lord.

Souta placed the letter on the side and glanced at the envoy. He slowly opened his mouth and asked, “Did the Governor say anything for me?”

“Sir, Governor Ray said that he hoped that you could support him with his endeavor. That’s all.” Jeoban answered respectfully.

“So if I wanted to know more… Then, I have to visit the Mine Valley.” Souta muttered as he rubbed his chin.

The Governor of the Mine Valley was called Ray Faustin. He took the position four months ago and established a solid foundation in his territory.
