Chapter 1289 I'm Here To Announce Something
Including Yang Xirui, all the reporters immediately put away their other thoughts and focused on Prince Lekas, afraid that they would miss a word or even an expression of his.
This was Prince Lekas!
As a prince whose status was only inferior to the noblest and supreme His Majesty, when the royal family of the Declan Empire officially announced to the public that he would be the main person in charge of this Garden Hunting Assembly, everyone actually did not pay much attention to it, because everyone thought that he was only in charge and would not really interfere in the actual matters of the Garden Hunting Assembly.
After all, it was His Highness the Prince, so how could he personally deal with these trivial matters?
Although there were many rumors before this that Prince Lekas had indeed appeared many times and had personally participated in the actual operation of the Garden Hunting Assembly, he had never appeared in public, and no media outlet could truly come into contact with him. They could only know some less detailed information through the official mouthpiece of the royal family of the Declan Empire like the Camille Pioneer News Office.
Now, Prince Lekas had personally appeared in front of so many media reporters at this Garden Hunting Assembly. While everyone was shocked and happy, they were also more puzzled.
Prince Lekas\'s appearance here must mean something special. If nothing unexpected happened, he had something special to announce.
No matter what he announced, it would definitely cause a commotion.
Wasn\'t this what the media reporters were most happy to see?
Under the focused gazes of all the reporters below the stage, Prince Lekas did not have any intention of tactfully delaying and spoke directly.
Firstly, he represented the royal family of the Declan Empire to give a short summary of the first stage of the Garden Hunting Assembly. In the summary, he expressed that the first stage of the Garden Hunting Assembly was very successful. From the royal family of the Declan Empire he represented, it could be said that they had successfully achieved the goal they hoped for.
"I\'ll reveal a statistic to everyone. According to the final statistics, there are a total of 32 royal descendants who truly died in the first stage of the Garden Hunting Assembly. The total number of people who have yet to recover from their serious injuries and are thought to be almost impossible to recover their strength in the future is 69. The total number of people who have been directly eliminated or forfeited is 218."
The reporters below the stage were shocked.
No one expected that the royal family of the Declan Empire would actually publicize these data.
Although the reporters below the stage knew far more about what had happened in the first stage of the Garden Hunting Assembly than ordinary people and knew through some news that a member of the royal family of the Declan Empire had indeed died in an accident in the first stage, no one could obtain definite news, let alone know the exact situation.
Now, Prince Lekas had actually publicly announced the data. Moreover, there were actually 32 more descendants of the royal family who were dead in this data! This shocked everyone.
In the eyes of many people, the descendants of the royal family of the Declan Empire were all high and mighty figures. They should receive the best education and perfect care. After all, every one of them was precious.
Although the royal family of the Declan Empire had announced to the public many times before the Garden Hunting Assembly that any participant in the Hunting Assembly was treated equally, and even the descendants of the royal family might die in it, not many people really believed it.
However, now that Prince Lekas had personally announced this data in front of so many people, there was no need to fake it.
When one thought about this data carefully, one would discover how cruel the truth was.
Even so many of the high and mighty descendants of the royal family of the Declan Empire had actually died in the first stage of the Garden Hunting Assembly. Then, how many young martial artists from other countries should die?
"Don\'t think that this is very cruel. This is only the first stage. What I came to tell you today is that the second stage of the Garden Hunting Assembly has officially begun. In the second stage, it\'s only crueler than the first stage, so you…"
Prince Lekas raised his right hand and stretched out his right index finger to point at the media reporters below the stage with a cruel smile.
"You have to be mentally prepared. Don\'t feel strange if all the young martial artists in your country die after the second stage ends."
Several reporters could not help but raise their hands.
Prince Lekas glanced at it and nodded before casually pointing at a reporter.
"Your Highness, you mean that there will be great danger waiting for these young participants in the Endless Abyss, right?"
"That\'s right."
"Then, since you clearly know that the Endless Abyss is so dangerous, why do you still use this as the venue for the second stage of the Garden Hunting Assembly? If the theme of the first stage is to let the participants compete with each other, it\'s understandable. After all, only the stronger ones are qualified to win. However, the danger in the Endless Abyss comes from many aspects. Don\'t you think it\'s meaningless to let these young genius martial artists with very bright futures enter to endure unknown danger?"
Hearing this reporter\'s question, many of the other reporters around him could not help but sweat for him.
Although the question this reporter asked was the question in many people\'s hearts, it was still a little too bold for him to directly question Prince Lekas.
Prince Lekas did not react much. He only sneered and stared at the reporter.
"What? Are you fighting for those kids?"
"No, I just…"
"Before the Garden Hunting Assembly was held, our royal family had already made it very clear that it was very dangerous to participate in it. It\'s not strange to lose your life. If you\'re afraid, don\'t come. I don\'t even care much about our royal kids dying inside. Do you think I care how you kids from other countries die?"
There was immediately an uproar below the stage.
Although everyone understood this and the attitude of the royal family of the Declan Empire had always been very clear and had never changed, it was still a little unbearable for Prince Lekas to say it directly.
"Shut up." Prince Lekas suddenly waved his hand and shouted in a low voice, covering the commotion of everyone below the stage, "I\'m not here to discuss these meaningless things with you today, but I have something to announce. Stay if you want to hear it. If you\'re unwilling to hear it, get lost now."
The reporters below the stage looked at each other. Of course, no one chose to leave at this moment. Instead, everyone raised their spirits again and completely focused their attention on Prince Lekas.
"I just said that the second stage will be even more cruel than the first stage, but correspondingly, the benefits of the second stage will be higher for these kids."
At this point, Prince Lekas paused for a moment before his gaze swept past the people below the stage again. When he saw that everyone\'s gazes were fixed on him, he nodded lightly.
"I announce that our Declan Empire and the Noctem Chamber of Commerce have reached an official agreement. In the second stage, if any participant can explore any valuable additional information, our Declan Empire\'s royal family and the Noctem Chamber of Commerce will give the corresponding additional reward."
The reporters below the stage were shocked.
The additional reward was not important. What surprised everyone was that the Declan Empire and the Noctem Chamber of Commerce had actually reached an agreement!
This was a direct agreement between two of the three largest organizations in the Milky Way. Moreover, before today, no one had revealed any relevant information!
This was not the end. What Prince Lekas said next truly shocked all the reporters.
"If any participant has the chance to enter the 50th floor of the Endless Abyss, not only will the empire and the Noctem Chamber of Commerce pay special attention to them personally, they will also list the country they are in as a friendly country."
