44 The Hunt (1)

The examination for survival had suddenly turned into a competition to see who could hunt this Ashton person first. Some were after the additional points they could receive by eliminating him. While the rest of them were worried about what would happen if they encountered him. 

It was safe to say that none of them wanted to get eliminated and letting Ashton do as he pleased, was something they could not risk. For all they knew, Ashton might already be preying on them and could eliminate them at any given moment.

But that wasn't the only reason for their hostility. Ashton had just eliminated a group of nobles, which left the rest of the nobles enraged. They have heard about the Bismark name and knew it very well that it belonged to the half-sister of the current prince.
