Caw!

Miko: We've resources and technology to use as bait, in order to take back what's rightfully ours so that the country can go on surviving. Otherwise, we'll get cornered, and then demise… Want me to repeat that?

Look at what you've done, bald monkey… Don't think we'll die off that easily!

Miko glared at the kings, her expression pale and full of killing intent.

Xiao Qiangwei: "Suppress"

He used Chinese, and said only one word, but that word contained enough power to block Miko's killing intent, it was all thanks to his Dao of the Divinity, he couldn't still affect someone at Miko's level right now, at most he is able to command a normal human's will.

Miko was surprised when she felt something like a chain blocking her killing intent, even if it was easily breakable, and looked at Xiao Qiangwei in surprise.

Miko: Wha-

Xiao Qiangwei: Shut up, we understand what you are talking about, and I accept as King of Elchea. Just… I'm tired with these complicated plans, strange rules, random cheats… We will go with a coin toss, only a single toss. 'I think I understand what you planned the entire time, Sora…'

Miko stood silent, and hesitated a bit, before a small laugh escaped from her mouth, followed from a big laugh.

Miko: Spending more than half a century to build a country that got taken away by three mere bald monkeys, fufu… And the final battle… Is a coin toss… Hahaha!

Xiao Qiangwei took out a gold coin and rotated it in the tip of his index finger, waiting for Miko to finish laughing.

Some minutes later, she recomposed herself and said.

Miko: Fine, we'll use that game. My request is… The guarantee to the Werebeasts' rights, autonomy and the usage of their resources.

Xiao Qiangwei: Alright, if I win, everything under the Werebeasts' property, themselves included, will be ours. Ready for the most dangerous coin toss ever made in this world?

Miko: You are really interesting… First of all you were able to easily follow my movements and prepare to attack, then you used strange magic to block my killing intent, and now this game… What's your name?

Xiao Qiangwei: My name's Xiao Qiangwei, King of Elchea and the ex-Paragon of Higher Heaven Sect, anything to say before I start?

Miko: Yeah, please swear that you would be kind to Izuna and Ino and everyone else, since you have our Chess Piece.

Xiao Qiangwei shrugged and said.

Xiao Qiangwei: Asciente.

Miko: Asciente.

*Ding*

Xiao Qiangwei tossed the coin in the sky, the coin flew pretty high, when suddenly Moko's pupil and hair dyed red, she used Blood Devastation.

Her five, six senses were greatly enchanted, and started to grasp everything under 500 meters radius, from a leaf to a grain of sand, she could feel magic coming from Jibril, but it was only the one that she naturally leaked out.

Then she tried to analyze everyone else, but no one was doing any trick, when she analyzed Xiao Qiangwei, shockingly she didn't felt anything, because she was only a 3rd Dimensional Being, unable to perceive the 4th Dimension.

When she analyzed the rising coin, she started to receive informations.

Miko: '465 and 2/4 turns, once it reaches the floor, it would bounce 7 times, returning after 6.3 seconds… Stopping on tails.'

She had some doubts, from everyone's heartbeats, even Izuna was sure that Xiao Qiangwei would win. But she didn't wait to answer since there was no interference, so she stopped using Blood Devastation and answered.

Miko: Tails.

The coin, around 7 meters high, drew an arc, and started falling…

?: Caw!

Buuuuut! Xiao Qiangwei's Lucky Aura made another miracle, and the coin was eaten from a crow that Miko left out from her calculations…

Everyone: ...What?

The crow was flying away… Away… Until it was gone…

Jibril started to move to catch the bird, but Xiao Qiangwei stopped her and turned to the Miko.

Xiao Qiangwei: Well, it seems that there will be no results, like I said before, it would be a single toss, so there will be a tie… I honestly didn't expected a crow taking the coin…

Even Xiao Qiangwei was surprised from the end, but since the Lucky Aura worked, he didn't cared about the procedures if he can obtain a good result.

Xiao Qiangwei: So… Since it will be a tie, you will be under our flag while the Werebeasts' right will be guaranteed, the autonomy would be maintained, and there would be a mutual flow of resources…. Which would make the Eastern Federation and Elchea in a Federal State…

The Miko finally understood what was going on between the kings of Elchea, they never want to erase the Werebeasts from the world, they wanted a collaboration between each other. She smiled and shook her head.

Miko: *Sigh* This will give me a big headache if I stay here longer… Alright, both of us will win. Fufu, hahaha!

She sat on a rock and started to laugh.

Miko: Really, this is really interesting! You guys! Hahahaha! So you controlled the crow and planned everything from the beginning…

Xiao Qiangwei: Sorry to pop your little bubble, but only half of your words is true, everything was under our plan, but the crow was an unexpected factor.

Miko: ...Huh? So… How were you so sure that the plan would succeed…?

Xiao Qiangwei: I didn't need to be sure, I already knew something that would give this result would happen, it's just that I'm a lucky guy...

About Elven Garde, Sora used the Pledges to tamper with the spy's memories, so the information that Elven Garde received about the game content was all fabricated, about Avant Heim, they don't have any malicious intents at all.

Miko: ...Eh?

She and the people who didn't knew anything were shocked from his words while Sora nodded in agreement.

Xiao Qiangwei: I will take my leave now, Jibril, what time it is?

Jibril: Uhh… Around 8pm at night.

Xiao Qiangwei nodded and turned toward the place where the palace should be, before narrowing his eyes.

Xiao Qiangwei: ...2 hours… Still within the reason… Bye, I will rest a bit for now…

Xiao Qiangwei's figure distorted, surprising Miko who was the only one who never seen it, and disappeared, reappearing back at the castle.

Miko turned towards the others and opened her mouth, but Sora answered her without letting her speaking.

Sora: Don't worry, since he is a 4th Dimensional Being, he is able to manipulate time to a certain point, he never teleported, he sacrificed the lifespan he needs to use to reach the place he needs to reach in an instant.

Miko: Huh? But isn't that dangerous for him?

Sora: It's alright, he is becoming immortal… Now… Let me touch your tail!

Shiro: ...Let me touch…

But the Miko bashfully smiled and said.

Miko: As long as I give the consent, and there is no harm, then you can go ahead. But I refuse.

Sora: Wh...What…!?

Miko: If you had known it earlier, you should have asked to add the right to touch in Sir Xiao's challenge… For now, if you want to touch me, then you must fight me one more time!

Sora/Shiro: NOOOOOOO!!!!
