In the conference room of North Sky Academy, Huang had deliberately arranged for the other members of the Zhou Tong Squad to leave, leaving only Zhou Tong behind.
Looking at this long-standing prodigy of North Sky Academy, Huang Xing could only sigh and speak in a low voice, "I’m sorry about that incident. The academy's people arrived just a moment too late."
"If you’re here just to comfort me, there was really no need to send my teammates away. Just say what you want to do, or perhaps you know something?" Zhou Tong leaned back in his chair, clearly not in a good state.
"I had someone look into your father's injury," Huang continued. Noticing a change in the boy's expression, he pressed on, "You must have heard about the sensational news from the Sakura Empire a few months ago?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong did not immediately refute. He had indeed heard about it—three nearly top-tier Onmyoji had been killed in one blow, and their wounds were strikingly similar.
Realization dawned on Zhou Tong as he asked in a low voice, "Are you saying that person targeted my father? But why?"
"Based on the timeline, before that incident in the Sakura Empire, there was another shocking event in the Star Dragon Empire—the disappearance of Yuelun Boss." Huang paused after finishing his statement, observing Zhou Tong's changing expression. He chose not to elaborate further and simply added, "As for who orchestrated it all, I won’t say more. The upcoming competition is what truly matters; I don’t need to elaborate on that."
The semi-finals, as the main highlight of the entire Star Dragon Festival Tournament, naturally attracted a lot of attention. Before the two competing squads entered the arena, the surrounding audience had already filled the stands.
Everyone held high hopes for both sides in this match. After all, it featured two extremely rare Diamond Beastmasters as captains during this Star Dragon Festival—such prestige was self-evident.
"I think North Sky Academy is in trouble. Captain Zhou Tong has just gone through such turmoil; it's impressive that he can even step onto the field," someone remarked.
However, there were those with fixed mindsets who believed that since Zhou Tong had lost to Lin Han last time, he would inevitably lose again this time. Did anyone actually believe such statements?
At that moment, some different voices emerged from the crowd: "Everyone, think about it—why did Chairman Zhou rush over as soon as the semi-finals were confirmed? Is there something going on?"
Immediately someone retorted, "What problem could there possibly be? Have you forgotten what Zhou Group has done before? They’ve made plenty of enemies; you can’t expect to walk by a river without getting your shoes wet!"
The surrounding noise quickly drowned out these discussions. The two competing teams arrived at the arena with solemn expressions; both sides needed to be fully focused for this crucial match.
Before taking the stage, several teammates of Zhou Tong Squad sensed that their captain's status was unstable, but they dared not question him at that moment.
The referee stood between the two teams, observing the tense atmosphere as both squads were on edge. He was startled; he had heard about the deep-seated grudges between these two battle teams, but now it seemed that their animosity had intensified even further.
