Meanwhile, back at the tournament venue, the competition was about to begin.
City Lord Lord Kevin overlooked the large crowd, his gaze sweeping across the gathered participants and spectators.
Just as he was about to speak, a hooded figure approached him silently and whispered into his ear.
Hearing the whispered words, the color drained from the City Lord's face, but he quickly regained his composure and delivered the opening speech.
Once he was done, the matches began, with the announcer taking the stage to introduce the first round of battles.
Meanwhile, Kevin clenched his fists and turned to his informant. "How?" he asked, his voice low and tense.
"We don't know," the hooded figure replied. "He came in without being detected, killed all the guards, and then he also rescued the children."
