I Kill to Get All SSS Abilities: From Outcast to Awakened-Chapter 82: The Show
"Yeah. We are new here, and it should be one of the fastest ways to establish ourselves.
"Mind if you tell us more details about this show?"
Riley gave the driver a polite smile and asked for more information.
The driver sat up straight and began to tell Riley and the team what it was about.
Participants would join Zak in a mission outside of the city.
And those who hunted the most demonic beasts would be the winners to have the chance to meet Peter Lim at his birthday party held in his mansion.
Lukas was glad when he heard what the show was about.
It would be a great chance for him to harvest more Slaughter Points again.
And of course, to meet the man responsible for causing so much death and suffering to the South Battle Administration Area.
Lukas and the team then decided to go to the broadcast corporation the next day to register as participants.
...
Next day.
West Battle Administration Area Broadcast Corporation.
Lukas and the team arrived at the broadcast corporation and had to get through a huge crowd of people to reach the security checkpoint.
The crowd was waving posters of Zak and the Blitz Team.
They cheered and chased after a limousine when they saw Zak and the Blitz Team sitting inside.
"You’ll get used to it." The security guard said as he led Lukas and the team into a studio.
They were used to the fanatic fans by now.
"Are Zak and his team really that good?" Rex frowned and asked as he glanced over at the fanfare Zak and his team were receiving.
The security guard slapped the back of his head and gave Rex an awkward smile.
"I wouldn’t know for sure." The security guard said and pointed at a woman standing on a stage in the studio, "There’s the producer, go and register with her."
"Thanks." Lukas thanked the security guard and walked over to the producer with the team.
"Well, well. What do we have here." The producer said and she started inspecting Lukas closely when she saw him.
The producer, Helen, with a crop of long silky black hair tied up in a ponytail, started to walk around Lukas in a circle.
"Excellent... excellent!" She mumbled to herself, and her voice slowly grew louder. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Lukas was young and better looking than Zak.
There was no way she was going to let him slip out of her hands.
She must get him on the show. Helen thought.
A plan had already hatched in her mind.
The young up and coming rival to Zak, and how Zak would overcome difficulties at the last moment to win over the young rival.
A tale as old as time.
"Please tell me you are here to participate in the show with Zak." She finally stopped and asked.
"Yes, we are." Lukas replied, much to the delight of Helen.
Helen clapped her hands and shouted, "Get them ready for the shoot."
Assistants quickly swarmed onto them, getting them seats and makeup artists got them ready as Helen briefed them.
"The show will be a live streamed show.
"We will only be shooting in the green zone where there will be low tiered demonic beasts.
"I hope you are good enough to deal with them?"
Lukas shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yeah, we’ve dealt with them before."
"Hmph. We can even handle High Tiered demonic beasts." Rex smirked and said.
When Helen heard Rex, she glanced over at the cameraman standing at a distance with his camera rolling.
It was what she wanted.
The audience would be so pumped up with what Rex had said boasting of being able to deal with High Tiered demonic beasts.
"High Tiered demonic beasts? That would be so scary for all of us." Helen replied faking a concerned look.
Rex frowned and said, "Haven’t you heard what happened at the South Battle Administration Area?"
"I’m sure you must have fought valiantly in the South Battle Administration Area." Helen said and the staff snickered uncontrollably.
They’ve seen so many awakened teams coming to seek fame when most of them were cowards when faced with actual dangers.
Helen and her staff figured that Lukas and the team were one of those.
"What’s with that response? We are from the South Battle Administration Area." Rex wasn’t too pleased with their response.
Helen glanced over at the cameraman again.
This burly man was giving her treasures every minute. She thought.
Lukas saw Helen’s eye movement and he nudged Rex.
Rex realized he might have talked too much, and he quickly kept quiet.
"Great. Now that the makeup is done, you can wait for the show to start recording." Helen said and she walked to her control room eagerly.
When she entered her control room, her editor was already editing what Rex had said.
The video started rolling with closeup of Lukas and the other team members, with a voice over introducing their names and ability level.
After a blank transition, the voice over started introducing them.
"Will this awakened team be able to beat Zak’s team’s and win?
"This team is not like any other teams."
The scene then transitioned to Rex smirking and saying how they’ve dealt with High Tiered demonic beasts before.
The next scene was Helen talking about how scared they were of High Tiered demonic beasts, and Rex smirking got cut in again.
Lastly, it was the scene of how Rex talked about them being from the South Battle Administration Area.
The voice over came on again, "Will Zak be able to defend West Battle Administration Area’s honor?"
Helen was impressed with the edit, and she patted the editor on the shoulder.
"Upload it to the show’s website and HikHock immediately." She said impatiently.
The show starts in an hour, and she wanted to ramp up the tension and get more views when the show started.
"Done. As you speak." The editor said and his computer began giving out sounds of notifications.
The video had garnered over a thousand comments in a short span of time.
"Who do they think they are!"
"Zak would show them who is boss."
"High Tiered demonic beasts my ass, I bet they’ve never encountered anything stronger than a chicken."
"Chicken? A worm!"
Helen grinned when she saw the comments cursing at Lukas and the team.
"Let the show begin!" She said and gave out a huge laugh.
