The Elite Tournament Begins

Ciara's sweet tone was full of playfulness and mockery.

He wanted to reply her! Jerry wanted to rise to his feet and declare how things would be different this time and how he would ensure he rose to the realm of the Rankers—just as they had both swore back then!

However… he couldn't speak.

"Just give it up… and stay where you are. You can't reach me anymore."

With those final words of hers ringing in his ears, Jerry's petrified body remained frozen as Ciara climbed to her seat.

'I… I couldn't say anything…'

Did he still have doubts? Was that the reason why he couldn't stand up and defend his resolve?

There was no way of confirming that now. However, words were cheap. If he truly wanted to show his determination, all Jerry had to do was win!

"I can do this…" He whispered to himself and stared at the stage.

It was currently vacant, but soon… the chaos would begin!

'I'll win! I'll make sure I climb the ranks!'
