"AND the winner is Razor!" the Duke of Hearts announced.

Luo Yan stared at the screen, particularly at Razor who barely showed any emotion after winning.  The other seemed to not even care about the loud cheers around him. 

That match just now was rather interesting.  Mostly because of how quick it ended the moment Razor got serious.  Anyone could see that during the beginning of the match where the other was on the defending side, he wasn't really taking things seriously.  He only did when he received that deep wound. 

And once he decided to fight seriously, he defeated his opponent quickly and very simply.  He didn't even show too much of his abilities.  From what Luo Yan had seen, the other probably only used one skill all throughout the fight.  Which just showed Razor's great fighting ability.

If everything went well, then, the other would be the one he would face at the semi-finals tomorrow.  Two Assassins duking it out.  It would definitely be an interesting fight.

Razor, on the stage, had already disappeared.  Probably already transferred to the winners' suite.

"That was an exciting fight, right?  Just a little short for my taste but still much better than the first one," the duke said.  "Now, let's continue on with the matches.  On to the third match, Rosetta versus Noctis!"

Luo Yan glanced at the entrance to their 'bench area' that just opened.  Well, he guessed it's now his turn.

[Mashter, Mashter, are we going to beat up that girl now?] – asked the little fox in his arms.

Luo Yan glanced down at Eclipse and smiled.  [Yes, we are.]

He walked out of the 'bench area' and continued on towards the rink.

From the perspective of the audience, they could watch what was happening on the stage more clearly from the virtual screens floating above the coliseum.  And right now, those screens were filled with a close-up shot of Luo Yan's beautiful face.

Loud cheers erupted from the audience. 

"Noctis!!!"

"Noctis, look here!!!"

"Noctis, I love you!!!"

Most of those who were shouting were female players.  But there were also a few male players in the mix.  It could be seen with just this how popular the player Noctis was.

Luo Wei Tian felt excited when he saw his second son walking to the rink.  But when he heard the audience cheering for Luo Yan, he was simply amazed. 

"Xiao Yan is very popular," he commented, feeling really proud. 

"They're most likely Yan Yan's fans," Luo Ren said.

"It's good that they know how great Xiao Yan is," Luo Wei Tian said even prouder.

Shen Ji Yun nodded in agreement.  With that serious expression on his face, one would think that he was agreeing to something that could save global warming or something similar.

Bai Ze shook his head.  He stopped the urge to say that most of these so-called 'fans' were most likely CP fans of his cousin and Shen Ji Yun.  Because if he did so, his uncle might just directly interrogate Shen Ji Yun about it.  And knowing his friend, the other might just confess about his feelings for Luo Yan.

There would definitely be World War III after that.

Luo Wei Tian happily glanced again at the virtual screen.  But this time, his son was no longer the one on it.  Instead, it was a scantily clad girl.  He frowned.

"Why is that young lady wearing her clothes that way?" he couldn't help but asked out loud.  "What if she showed something she shouldn't have to Xiao Yan?"

Shen Ji Yun had the same thought.  It was that girl's freedom to wear whatever she wanted.  What he was against was the other flashing her 'things' to his rabbit.  Luo Yan was a teenage boy.  He was at an age where he could easily be affected by the exposed skin of the opposite sex. 

Just thinking of Luo Yan blushing over that girl was enough for him to get irritated.

"Even if she does, I don't think Luo Yan would care," Su Yuqi commented.  "He's cool that way."

"Ahm, I agree," Yu Jiao agreed.  "I don't think Yan Yan would be affected by what she's wearing.  So, Uncle shouldn't worry that it would have a negative impact on him."

Since getting close to Luo Yan, she knew that his train of thought was not the same as other teenage boy his age.  She had a feeling that even if someone took off their clothes in front of him, he would only smile and tell the other to wear their clothes back.

Luo Ren was happy hearing something like that from Yu Jiao.  Because it showed her deep understanding of Luo Yan – evidence of their good friendship.  "Jiao Jiao is right, Dad.  Let's not worry about something like that and just cheer for Yan Yan."

Luo Wei Tian glanced at his eldest.  He had a feeling that whatever the handsome young man would say, Luo Ren would agree.  It seemed that after this night, he needed to have a talk with Luo Ren and asked the other what kind of relationship he had with Yu Jiao.

But there's one thing he did agree upon.  To cheer on Luo Yan.

Shen Ji Yun, who heard everyone's opinion, finally felt a bit relieved.  But he still took out his binoculars and looked at the direction where Luo Yan was through it.  The two opponents – Luo Yan and the girl – were already standing on the rink.  Luo Yan was staring directly at the girl and there wasn't a hint of anything on his face.  Which meant that he wasn't the least bit affected by what the other was wearing.

Before he could feel relieved, he almost let go of the binocular he's holding because of the loud cheer that suddenly sounded beside him.

"Go, Xiao Yan!!!  You can win this!!!" Luo Wei Tian sounded.

"Dad, I think it's better to call him 'Noctis'," Luo Ren suggested.

"Oh, right," Luo Wei Tian agreed.  Then, he shouted again at the top of his lungs, "Go, Noctis!!! You can win this!!!"

Luo Yan, standing on the stage, suddenly had the illusion that he just heard the voice of his father.
