Chapter 1720  Mission: Show your Might!

It seemed like an incomplete question.

\'That\' mission?

What in the hell does that even mean? What mission are you talking about? Every mission has a name; why not mention the name directly?

This should be a normal response to this question.

However, This time, it was different.

"Are you kidding me? Of course I did. Ten thousand Nexus Credits for defeating a single Sovereign in a one-on-one battle? It couldn\'t be any simpler. I\'d be a fool if I didn\'t register!"

Another man with a muscular build answered with a big smile on his face.

"Hahaha~ You are the fifteenth person who said the same thing. I guess quite a lot of people have registered for the mission. Even mercenaries who don\'t usually come to Fortune\'s Call are accepting this mission. I heard some even came from another Mercenary World. I wonder who will get the final reward."

"Who else? The one who defeats the opponent."

"And if that man is defeated in the first round?"

"Then others can only sigh and feel bad about the missed opportunity."

"I guess the one who goes first will be the lucky one."

"If you think about it, it won\'t be that simple. Giving ten thousand Nexus Credits to defeat just one Sovereign—no fool would throw their money away like that. If they\'re doing so, then there must be a catch. That Sovereign must be strong. So the one who faces him first has a higher chance of losing, and as he gets weaker, those fighting later have a better chance of winning."

"But that\'s quite risky too, isn\'t it? The later you appear, the higher the chances of the opponent losing before you even get your chance."

"Hahaha! That is what makes all of this so interesting, isn\'t it? Why do you think they\'re auctioning the battle order two days later? It\'s highly likely that this mission is nothing but a form of business. Because of the huge reward, every Sovereign would want to participate. However, since the order they fight in is so important, it wouldn\'t be surprising if mercenaries even pay a thousand Nexus Credits just to get the spot they desire.

If they find even ten such mercenaries, the rest they earn will be pure profit. It\'s quite ingenious."

"Now that you say it like that… that does seem possible.

So all of this is just a scam?"

"Not really. They will give ten thousand credits to the one who wins; the rest will just be making losses. It\'s not a scam; it just prevents the losers from joining and ruining the fun. If you don\'t have enough decisiveness to choose the order you want to fight in and don\'t believe you can defeat your opponent, then you better not join and waste others\' time."

"So does this mean you are going to participate in the auction?"

"Of course."

"So what spot are you going to bid for?"

"The third one."

"Ehh? You decided that pretty fast."

"Of course. I can\'t miss the opportunity to make easy money."

The man laughed, his eyes filled with desire and greed.

It wasn\'t just him or the person talking to him; all Sovereigns throughout Nexus were talking about this new mission Fortune\'s Call posted just a while ago.

Mission: Show your Might!

Mission Description: Defeat Nux Leander, a Sovereign-Level Being, in a one-on-one battle, inside the Arena. (Arena Rules apply)

Rewards: Ten Thousand Nexus Credits.

Restrictions: Only Sovereigns can join.

Failure Penalty: None.

It was one of the missions with the shortest description. Usually, that would make many raise eyebrows, since a short description meant a lack of information. But this time, that didn\'t matter; just the reward and failure penalty section made people\'s eyes shine.

Even Special Missions didn\'t have such rewards! All the Sovereign Stage Mercenaries, who were used to earning five hundred to seven hundred Nexus Credits per mission, couldn\'t hide their greed when they saw the mission.

Chaos spread all over Nexus as the news spread like fire. More and more mercenaries rushed towards Fortune\'s Call; even beings from other Mercenary Worlds rushed in.

It was quite surprising and, for the first time in a long while, the Fortune\'s Call building was fully jammed up with thousands of Sovereigns lining up, wanting to register for the Mission.

The employees working in Fortune\'s Call couldn\'t catch a break; some even cursed the person who posted this mission.

As for the person who was the cause of all this chaos,

Well, he was lying on his bed, with an extremely beautiful woman in his arms, without a care in the world.

"It has become quite chaotic."

Riona chuckled as she heard all the noise outside. Even here, at an inn quite far from the Fortune\'s Call building, she could hear people talking about the mission posted.

"I have no clue why he\'s doing this. He\'s just delaying everything." Nux complained.

Of course, his tone didn\'t seem full of dissatisfaction since his head was currently nestled under Riona\'s cleavage. His hands didn\'t settle, constantly caressing Riona\'s body. Riona, of course, enjoyed her husband\'s embrace and replied.

"Well, we do need the recording he has."

"He should have just given it to me. Why make it so complicated?"

"Who knows? Maybe he\'s just trying to buy time? Or maybe he doesn\'t actually want you to take this mission."

What Riona said indeed made a lot of sense. After all, Simba\'s test was truly absurd. He wanted Nux to face all the Sovereigns who took this mission, and the number was already in the thousands.

"Well, I\'m going to face more than 90,000 Divines in Umbrasol under harsh conditions, so if I can\'t even deal with this, I wouldn\'t be qualified enough to take the mission."

"Well, I guess Fortune\'s Call\'s reputation is at stake in some way or another.

I doubt they can recklessly send more people there, since the more people they send, the higher the number of enemies others have to face, and the more difficult the mission would become."

Riona nodded.

And Nux just shrugged as he then rolled over on top of Riona and said,

"Not that any of it matters.

I just need to wait for 5 days as he said.

Then, once I sweep all of them,

We\'ll leave for the mission."
