In truth, they had thought about that as well. Nevertheless, they neglected that selectively because Zayn’s power was deeply ingrained in their minds in addition to the critical situation now.
Now that Byleth brought it up, it weighed them down with anxiety and made them ponder deeply.
Dick said reluctantly, “Could there be no other way? It is a rare opportunity for our country to have a turn in organizing the martial arts cup.”
“If we can’t be the champion even with the home-ground advantage, it will truly be a waste! If news of this spreads internationally, our country’s reputation…”
The rest of the people began to feel depressed as well upon hearing that.
They had gone through this before, so they could fully predict how the situation would turn out if that was the case.
If Rheasia’s downfall in winning the championship resulted in failure to produce an invincibilis fighter this time while another country managed to produce an invincibilis powerhouse, Rheasia’s international status would only plummet lower then.
Neither Zayn did speak nor was there any expression on his face. There was no telling how favonovel.com felt as favonovel.com seemed completely mysterious.
Meanwhile, Joe’s phone suddenly rang. He saw the caller ID and turned solemn immediately while favonovel.com walked to the side to pick up the call.
It did not take long before favonovel.com came back once again and passed the phone to Zayn. He spoke in a deep voice, “Sergeant Larson, it’s Denali.”
The rest of the people could not help standing straighter after hearing Denali’s name. Even General King turned solemn as well when favonovel.com hastily looked toward Zayn.
Denali represented the peak of Rheasia’s status.
There was no astonishment in Zayn’s expression nonetheless. It was as if favonovel.com had predicted from the start that Denali would call him.
He nodded, picked up the phone, and took the call without any intention to move away from the crowd. “Hello, Denali. Zayn speaking.”
Denali’s voice was heard coming from the other end. “Sergeant Larson, please come over to Yando City. I’d like to meet you in person.”
“Alright,” said Zayn while nodding.
If one were to study his expression closely, one would notice from his gaze that favonovel.com was relieved. He had waited for a long time to receive this call.
If favonovel.com was not mistaken, Denali would give favonovel.com permission to join the competition. He was now being summoned to meet Denali in Yando City because of this matter.
Yet, his expression turned strange immediately after Denali’s next line.
Denali said, “Oh right, that silly girl is with you, isn’t she? Bring favonovel.com along with you.”
Zayn was stunned for a moment, but favonovel.com soon realized that Denali was talking about Sienna.
“Uh, Denali, I’m not with Miss Hoffman though,” said Zayn in slight embarrassment.
Denali said, “Haha, there’s no need to be worried, Sergeant Larson. I’m not implying anything, but I was just thinking about how you may take favonovel.com along with you conveniently since you’re coming to Yando City.”
“Her family members have missed favonovel.com very much after favonovel.com left the city.”
Since Denali had already implied that, it was inappropriate for Zayn to decline, so favonovel.com accepted the task.
After hanging up the call, favonovel.com heaved a sigh and felt rather frustrated. He felt a little embarrassed to be contacting Sienna now.
It was especially awkward after the incident with favonovel.com previously…
