The training duo of Jake and Kate were just done surpassing their limits in training when they decided to exit the room with Head General Humfree.

After a few hours of a long bath and stuffing their faces with so much food, the core members all met in the meeting room except Jade who was no doubt working and pulling all nighters.

Getting to the room, the core members were about to begin the meeting along with Jake when everyone received a notification at once.

"Ding! Incoming live video message from the world leaders!" The message read and then the video began playing as the faces of the big three got displayed in front of them all.

"Greetings to the whole world and the guilds that worked hard in this conquest contest!" Rex began speaking calmly with a smile on his face while the core members, the other guilds and all the whole world were listening intently.@@@@

"I know that we took so long to talk to you all about the tie hanging among the top independent Guilds and we apologize for that as we had to take our time to consider our options and bring up something that would favour everyone." Bane said.

"It was hard but we managed to come up with something even though we took a lot of time deciding." Rex said with a chuckle.

"So what have you decided damn it?!" Jake mumbled anxiously.

"I know you all are wondering what we have decided, so we will just have to go straight to the point and stop beating around the bush." Rex said and then he turned towards Bane to do the honors.

"You see, we have seen the guilds'' strength. Each and every one of them. The independent guilds have proved why they are at the top of the other guilds and now we want to do something different." Bane said.

"Yes! And I think it is time for me to return back to the guild because I know my father would want me back now and probably want me to participate." Harry sighed.

"So basically, we have two groups with each groups needing to have about three fighters in it that would participate in the battle royale and win us the position of the big four." Sunny summarized.

"Was it me or did the big three not mention anything about the leaders of the guild having to participate?" Emily asked.

"I think I know their plan after seeing what Gray did." Head General Humfree said.

"And which is?" Peter asked.

"Since they didn''t say anything about the leaders of each guild, it means they are allowed to participate. And what does that mean?" Humfree asked.

"It means that the leaders of the guilds would be pitted against each other to prove which guild is the best to the world." Paul replied.

"Exactly! And seeing how Gray''s fighting style and skills was almost similar to Jake''s, and the whole world talking about their similarities and debating on who is stronger, then this is another way to show who is stronger to the world." Humfree said.

Alex sighed. "But that doesn''t solve the problem of who is to accompany Jake and occupy the seats."

"That is left for Jake to decide." Peter said as everyone turned towards Jake who just sighed.
