Ikalofa also had a bit of a headache. However, seeing Bellilosa so angry, he knew he'd be in trouble if he didn't say something.

He coughed and said to Bellilosa, "Don't get so worked up. Let's just talk about Koly's eldest son. Karkaya is a talented young man with many achievements in battle, and his strength is exceptionally formidable. Although he's a bit arrogant, his character is also very good."

"Heh, Karkaya?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Ikalofa immediately sensed that something was amiss. He forced a smile and asked.

"Since your daughter broke his leg and beat him up in front of countless officers and generals, leaving him bedridden for a year, Karkaya runs away like he's seen a ghost whenever he sees Ikaloya! Haven't you noticed he hasn't come to our house to play in ages?"

Bellilosa said angrily to Ikalofa.

Ikalofa's expression turned incredibly strange upon hearing this. He turned to Ikaloya in disbelief.

"Did that really happen?"

"On the arena, there are only victory, defeat, and death."

Ikaloya replied coldly.

"Listen to what she's saying! Does that sound like something a girl would say? Look at Goli. The people pursuing her could stretch from Shenchuang Star to Longyue Star."

Bellilosa was almost driven mad by Ikaloya.

"Don't be angry. Goli and Ikaloya's situations are a bit different. Their personalities are naturally different. Besides, it's not that bad. The Alliance government has produced many talented people over the years. There will always be someone suitable, don't worry."

Ikalofa tried to persuade her, but he felt uneasy even saying that.

"How can I not worry? How old is she already? It's going to be harder and harder to find someone as time goes on."

Bellilosa replied resentfully.

"Mother, I've said it before! There's more to life than just these things. I don't want to be constrained by societal expectations. I'll handle this myself, so please don't interfere."

Ikaloya replied forcefully, a hint of anger in her cold expression.

"You, you're going to be the death of me..."

Bellilosa was furious.

Seeing the two of them arguing, Ikalofa quickly stepped between them and comforted Bellilosa.

"Alright, don't get angry at the child. By the way, Father's birthday is in a few days. I'll take her out for a walk to clear her head and enlighten her."

As Ikalofa spoke, he winked at Ikaloya, signaling her to avoid the situation.

"Don't be angry with your mother either. She's just doing it for your own good. You should go out for a walk and reflect on things."

"Hmph!"

Ikaloya turned and walked straight out.

As soon as Ikaloya left, Pike's head popped in, and he called out to Ikalofa.

"Boss."

Ikalofa glanced at Pike and took the opportunity to leave, replying as he walked out.

"What is it?"

Soon Ikalofa walked out of the house, and Pike approached and asked.

"Arguing about that again?"

"Isn't that obvious? Besides this, when have you ever seen Bellilosa angry these past few years?"

Ikalofa replied with a headache.

"So many talented young men, and none of them are good enough?"

"If only that were the case."

"Boss, I actually have a good candidate."

"Who?"

"My brother Kromi's son, Kroke. That kid didn't inherit his dad's slovenly appearance. Instead, he inherited his mother's features. He's very handsome, and his strength is also good. His personality is also impeccable."

"You're talking about Kroke? He's under Ikaloya's command. You want him to pursue her? Do you think he has the guts? If he's willing, I'll definitely support him!"

Ikalofa replied helplessly.

"Ah, this... well, boss, you can only take Ikaloya to the Chaotic Star Region then. There are also many promising young men there. See if there's anyone suitable."

Pike scratched his head and replied awkwardly.

"That's the only thing we can do. Wait, Pike, let me ask you something."

Ikalofa suddenly thought of something and stared at Pike.

"Boss, don't look at me like that. Just say what you want."

Pike felt uneasy under his gaze.

"I remember that rascal in your family is also pretty good!"

Ikalofa asked with a smile.

Pike immediately took a few steps back and said to Ikalofa, "Boss, I suddenly remembered that I have something to take care of at home. I'll go first!"

With that, Pike ran off, faster than a rabbit.

Ikalofa watched Pike's fleeing figure and stroked his chin, muttering to himself.

"It seems like things are really a bit troublesome."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Several days later, inside the Colossus Palace on Chaotic Star.

Many burly Lizardmen, strong men, and humanoids of various shapes enthusiastically surrounded Ikalofa, Qianye, and Bakhinhold, raising their glasses in hearty cheers.

The banquet table was laden with various delicious meats and high-proof liquor.

It was less a birthday celebration and more a wild carnival.

The atmosphere was incredibly lively.

However, Ikaloya did not like such noisy banquets. She finished a glass of high-proof liquor in the corner, then got up and left.

Soon, Ikaloya walked alone on the streets of Chaotic City.

On the streets, many people were chatting and laughing, and children were playfully chasing each other.

Ikaloya turned her head and looked at the people of different shapes getting along harmoniously, and a thoughtful expression appeared in her eyes.

Unknowingly, Ikaloya came to the central square, where two giant stone statues stood. The face of one of the statues was very blurry and unclear, giving people a solemn and awe-inspiring feeling. The other statue was of her father, Ikalofa.

Ikaloya couldn't help but stop. She saw countless children chasing and playing around the two stone statues.

"It's my turn to be the hero, and you guys be the villains."

"No, I want to be the hero."

...

Ikaloya stood there for a long time, then walked away into the distance.

At this time, a trolleybus slowly pulled into the station. Ikaloya glanced at the empty trolleybus and got on.

She found a seat by the window.

The trolleybus started slowly.

After a long time, the trolleybus reached its final stop!

Ikaloya came back to her senses and slowly walked off.

There was no one in this area. There was only an endless forest. Ikaloya was somewhat touched as she looked at the forest.

She hadn't been here in many years. She only remembered her father taking her to the Rare Beast Forest once when she was a child.

Ikaloya walked inside.
