197 The Quarter Finalists

( Luke's POV )

Just like Leo and Cervantez, Luke also won his match in the round of 16 and was escorted to the Royal Palace in a grand carriage.

Unlike Leo, Luke was not blown away by the grandeur of the carriage itself, but was more amused by the reactions of the commoners when his carriage passed by.

Somehow, children running beside his carriage trying to get a glimpse of who was sitting inside made Luke feel like he was a prince or someone equally important, as he felt warm on the inside when treated this way.

As he reached the palace, he found five other contestants already standing there, seemingly waiting for everyone to arrive as he seemed to be the sixth one to reach the party.

On the far left corner, with his arms crossed stood 'The Boss', looking as cold and unapproachable as ever.
