Chapter 642 Danger Averted

• Only about fifty or sixty contestants remain in the competition arena now. The young dancers who had earlier charmed the crowd with their alluring performances had already left. The men watching had clearly enjoyed the show—many of them were still hoping for more.
• But the same couldn't be said for some of the alchemists still in the ring. Those with weaker self-control had been thrown off their game and were eliminated with bitter regret.
• "What a shame," the old emcee chuckled, voice laced with lewd amusement. "I only meant to liven up this dry competition a little. Who knew it'd rattle so many of these young cubs? Frankly, those of you still standing should thank me. I just helped weed out a good chunk of your competition." His sleazy laughter made the eliminated contestants grit their teeth in frustration. If they could've hurled a brick at his face, they would've knocked out the few teeth he had left.
