Chapter 721: "Annual Beast and Monster Tide"

A day passed in the blink of an eye. The last day of the tournament's second round had ended, and the mafia council's people were busy calculating the result. 

Of course, the Sloan Family was easily declared as one of the second round's champions. 

All together, only 32 families passed the second round plus one family who was lucky to make it to the second round without fighting any families. 

The mafia council worked fast. While Ainsley had just arrived at the Meidian family's main territory, the mafia council immediately announced the end of the second round. 

It was currently midnight when the mafia council posted something new on their official website. 

Ainsley's little group was hovering in the sky near the Meidian's main territory, but they didn't move further because the sky was still counted as one's territory. 

If they moved further, even just for a bit, they might be seen as trespassing one's territory without prior notice and the Meidian Family had the right to kill them. 

Thus, the group just floated in place while Ainsley opened her phone and checked the mafia council's website. 

The website immediately showed the tournament's page as the first and most important post. Ainsley immediately clicked on the post and scrolled down to see the renewed post. 

[Congratulations to all 33 families below for passing through the second round safely! We shall announce the third round's theme a week from now.] 

The mafia council attached a link with a list of 33 families who passed the second round, listed according to their alphabetical order. 

The Sloan Family was listed quite near the end, but when Ainsley saw the name, she finally could sigh in relief. 

Good, her family passed the second round without any trouble. Then…

Ainsley had just about to close the page when she saw another announcement just right below the link. 

It was just freshly added! 

Ainsley immediately scrolled down and saw the piece of shocking news. 

[Due to various circumstances, the fourth and the fifth tournament's round will be nullified. The third round will be the last and will also decide which ten families can be promoted.] 

No one knew why the mafia council decided to shorten the tournament's period. 

However, a few people commented on the newest announcement and their comments successfully attracted Ainsley's attention. 

[Blowing Winds and Clouds: Ah, it's that time of the year already?] 

[Banana Boat Is Scary: Oh, the beast and monster tide at the beginning of the new year? No wonder the mafia council hastily closed the tournament.] 

[Zehell-sama Slave: This year, the experts predicted that the beast and monster tide will come even earlier than last year. It was in February last year, right? Now it is in January.] 

[Hungry Readers: The mafia council will have to select ten new high-ranking families and immediately let these poor people participate in the annual war. Tch. So pitiful.] 

[I Want More: @Hungry Readers, it's not like the big bosses ever personally participate in the war, anyway. Only the subordinates. It's nothing worth watching.] 

The battle between humans and the upcoming tide was usually broadcasted to the whole country. 

That's why many people, either mafia or non-mafia members, knew that the mafia families never send their bosses to directly face the wild monsters and beasts. 

It's not like the government's noble families send their family heads either. 

Only the generals and military families serving the government would personally send their family heads to participate. 

In other words, the monster and beast tide was usually only a way for various forces to show off their military strength. 

The beast and monster tide itself wasn't that dangerous when so many forces all around the country gathered their elites to protect the capital. 

When Ainsley finished reading the passing comment on the website's page about the beast and monster tide, she nodded in understanding. 

It seemed that there was indeed a monster and beast tide once a year attacking the Godlif's capital city. 

During the 7-day beast and monster tide, the mafia society and the government would make a temporary truce and would work together to dispel the beast and monster tide. 

All noble families affiliated with the government had to send some reliable troops to contribute to the project while the mafia society let the high-ranking families join the event. 

Of course, while the government rewarded those who contributed the most to the war in their faction, the mafia council also rewarded a family who contributed the most to the yearly beast & monster tide. 

However, the high-ranking family's bosses never joined the beast and monster tide's war on their own. 

The 7 great and 7 sacred families might send their bosses to attend, but the others only send some troops to help the mafia council and help the government to protect the capital. 

Ainsley rubbed her chin and decided she would also send a group of elites that she would build this year before the beast and monster tide appeared. 

This yearly catastrophe would be useful to promote her soon-to-be-built Irregular Tamers Guild! 

But for now, let's focus on how to meet Demetra without alarming the Meidian Family. 

[Godfather, can you find Demetra and quietly ask her to meet us? I think it's not appropriate for us to enter the Meidian's main territory without prior notice…] 

The Godfather immediately agreed to Ainsley's request. 

[Okay.] The Godfather didn't talk much and immediately left the carriage, leaving only Ainsley, Axelle, Cellino, and the five other spirits. 

Ainsley thought that the Godfather would take a long time to persuade Demetra to come or would be lost in the Meidian's mansion trying to find Demetra. 

However, five minutes had just passed by, and the Godfather was already back with a woman behind him. 

It was Demetra!
