City No.1 was finally pulled onto the pirate ship that had risen high.
Between Gao Qi and Bernhard, City No.1 chose Gao Qi. They would rather risk universal condemnation and kill Bernhard in City No.1 than let Gao Qi take Bernhard down with them.
In the end, Yang Xu finally showed his trump card.
Although City No.1's action meant that it was very likely to start an all-out war with Technology City, they had no choice. Even if they had to become enemies with all the cities in the world, they couldn't let Gao Qi open the dimensional door and let the demon from another world come through.
This was the difference between a nine out of ten chance of survival and a ten out of ten chance of survival. Of course, City No. 1 was definitely hiding their strength. Perhaps they had a 70% to 80% chance of winning if they challenged the entire world. If that was the case, they would definitely succumb to Gao Qi's threat.
They just didn't know how trustworthy Yang Xu's words were. However, Gao Qi thought for a long time and finally nodded. He said, "If I have to use my last resort, I will remind you that if you don't do anything or fail, I will use my last resort. Well, I will give you three seconds."
"Three seconds? Master Huo, are you kidding? Three seconds is too short. One minute, I only need one minute. How about that? "
Gao Qi shook his head and said firmly, "In a life-and-death battle, you should know what three seconds mean. Forget it, ten seconds. When I call your name, it means I am going to use my last resort. Then I will give you ten seconds. After ten seconds, I will make my move."
Yang Xu nodded seriously and said, "Ten seconds! I will remember. "
"What should we do next?"
Yang Xu smiled bitterly and said, "The mayor will speak for five minutes, and then the competition will start. Originally, the speech time was half an hour, and then we will invite Master Tree and the other Grade-A espers to speak. But now, Master Tree is not here, and you are here. So, let me tell you, most of the higher-ups and elites of City No.1 are now underground and in the shelter. If … Yes, we have to be prepared."
Gao Qi felt a little guilty.
Xiao Lin began to speak. The big screen allowed everyone to see his face clearly, and the loudspeaker allowed everyone to hear his voice. In addition, his speech would be broadcast to many people on television, and even audiences in many cities around the world would be able to see it.
Speaking of which, this was indeed the first global competition for humans since the Cataclysm. From another point of view, this was also the first time after the emergence of paranormals, that someone had organized a competition among paranormals to let many people see how paranormals fought.
When it came to combat, it was no longer a simple sport. It was a competition that determined both victory and defeat, as well as life and death. Although Xiao Lin repeatedly emphasized that they should stop at a certain point, everyone knew that many people were bound to die in that competition. All they could do was try their best to avoid it.
Gao Qi listened to Xiao Lin's speech, and when the applause gradually subsided, the host's voice began to resound throughout the stadium.
"Next, let's watch the first match. The opponents are..."
Gao Qi did not look at the big screen. From his position, he could see the rostrum, so he looked at Bernhard. Bernhard turned his head to the side and said something to Xiao Lin.
Immediately after, Xiao Lin stood up and waved his hand. The host quickly stopped talking.
On the big screen, the two hosts tried their best to remain calm, but no one said anything. The competition, which was already going on quickly, was once again interrupted.
The opening ceremony was full of surprises, and Xiao Lin and Bernhard's image appeared on the big screen once again. Rosario, who was next to Xiao Lin, also had a dumbfounded look on his face.
From the looks of it, it was obvious that something had happened.
Gao Qi was not nervous, but Yang Xu immediately became nervous. He then whispered anxiously, "No, there's definitely no such segment. What happened?"
At that moment, on the big screen, the host raised the microphone again. The woman said calmly, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome Mr. Bernhard Poulenc to speak."
Bernhard was sitting in the guest seat on the rostrum, while the host was in the ring for the ability users. However, Bernhard left the rostrum and walked toward the ring.
Bernhard walked very quickly. Gao Qi looked at Yang Xu, and Yang Xu looked at him in the eyes. He said in disbelief, "Things are out of control..."
Obviously, Yang Xu had to be able to talk to his colleagues. Someone had already told him what happened on the rostrum.
Gao Qi made a gesture of inquiry, but Yang Xu turned his face and looked at Bernhard. He then said with a serious expression, "Elder Flame, please remember your promise. Ten seconds. You must give us at least ten seconds!"
Gao Qi looked at the big screen. Bernhard appeared on the big screen with a smile on his face.
Bernhard walked to the ring alone. He took the microphone and stood in the middle of the ring. He first looked up, then raised the microphone and said loudly, "Hello, everyone. I'm Bernhard. Before the official start of this competition, I want to use this venue and the opportunity of the global live broadcast to settle a personal grudge."
Gao Qi frowned. "I knew it wouldn't be that simple."
While the audience was in an uproar, Bernhard waved his hand and smiled. "Elder Flame, show yourself. I'm right here. Come and kill me."
Bernhard spoke in Chinese. After he finished speaking, there was a short silence, followed by an uproar.
Yang Xu said without hesitation, "He brought a lot of people, but most of them stayed on the spaceship. Elder Flame, please be careful."
Gao Qi sat still, but Bernhard looked around the ring. He turned around twice and looked at the audience. Then, he looked at the stands on the south side and pointed. "I know you're up there. Stand up, come down, and kill me."
Yang Xu sighed softly and said, "I can't hide it. I just didn't expect him to challenge you directly. Elder Flame, how do you plan to respond?"
Gao Qi sighed softly and said in a deep voice, "Now, you know why I had to change my clothes."
Gao Qi stood up, then reached out and took the bag that Yang Xu handed to him respectfully.
The audience around him was in an uproar. Then, more and more people turned to look at Gao Qi.
Gao Qi began to walk forward slowly. When he passed by the seated audience, he appeared to be very steady and calm.
"A magician must be elegant. It's a pity that this bag is really ruining his image …"
When Gao Qi walked up the aisle, the camera finally focused on him. Then, Gao Qi's figure appeared on the big screen.
Gao Qi had never thought that he would be seen by the whole world in this way. However, he could bear the pressure of being watched.
Standing in the aisle and looking at Bernhard in the ring, Gao Qi began to think about how he should appear.
