"Didn't this guy call the masked man a clown? It's obvious who the clown is now.""He called the guy sick in the head, but he didn't bother to look in a mirror. He had it coming!""Let's not talk about him anymore; it's all redundant. Don't all of you feel something strange about the atmosphere on the stage? Just look at Randall—he's staring at the masked man so intensely! I think Randall may go against their earlier agreement for safety's sake," stated an above-average warrior.A warrior from the Lycan Continent next to him remarked, "Do you think Randall will attack now?"That above-average warrior nodded. "He may just do that. After all, if he doesn't attack now, they'll be only left with ten seconds in the end. If the masked man is at least slightly intelligent, he'll make sure he doesn't spend that much effort killing the beast. He won't lose out on that much anyway. After all, there are ten Life Points to be gained in total."Randall will get five, while Rowan will take away
Fane took a deep breath and sheathed his sword before saying, "I have a request. If you agree to it, I'll give the two of you a choice in the end as well."His words sounded terribly vague. It was not just Randall and Rowan who did not understand it, but the warriors on the spectator stands were just as confused. They could not understand what Fane was saying, and what his new scheme was.Of course, Fane was not troubled by their cluelessness. He merely wanted to make sure his plans would work out.He smiled calmly. "I didn't come to Capture Hall for my personal grudges. Seven Life Points will only get out one top-level treasure."Everyone was even more confused at that. What was this guy saying? Seven Life Points was 'only' able to yield one treasure? It sounded as if he was not satisfied with just the best treasure, and this sounded beyond arrogant!He was not satisfied even with the beast of the treasures? Did he not know the rules of the Capture Hall? Everyone could only parti
Everyone reevaluated the masked man with the skills he has demonstrated, but he shattered everyone's newfound thoughts of him not long after that. Everything was confusing, and they had no idea how to view the masked man.At that moment, a clear voice broke through the chaos, "Randall! Agree to it!" It was Percy. He remained calmly seated among the spectators, his eyes fixated on Fane.Randall frowned slightly before he took a few deep breaths. In the end, he nodded in acknowledgment of Percy's order.Percy then raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you really enjoy walking impossible journeys? One person against the beast?! I have to admire your courage!"Everyone could tell that it was not admiration in his tone but mockery instead. However, Fane was not irked at all. He looked over to Percy slightly before he said calmly, "I hope you'll still be able to mock me like that in just a moment."Percy frowned, really wanting to shout something back at Fane but managed to hold back in the
They did not just believe in Fane's character but in his skills as well. They remembered all the dangers in the Seven Deaths Array. Every time it seemed like things were hopeless, Fane would break through with just his skills alone. Marth and Lourain had witnessed how much stronger Fane was than them there.Fane was not just an above-average warrior; he was even worthy of standing among the top ranks. These ignorant fools did not know how strong Fane was at all! Of course, it did not matter whether or not they knew this fact. Even if they did, it would not change the results.Marth stood up and took a deep breath, looking like he made his decision. He raised three fingers. "I'll be able to bet three million seven hundred fifty thousand at most. It's already a huge risk as it is."He was nowhere near as rich as Fane, being able to pull out 20 pieces of purple gold in one go. He was not even able to produce a single piece of purple gold. 3.75 million was already a bet Marth struggled
The sharp-nosed man nodded. "This guy is mental! Even if he's got a credible background or something, there's no way any elders or clan leaders would give him so many pieces of purple gold!"Meanwhile, Lourain looked at the large scroll and saw that the odds on Fane's name had dropped. Regret lumped in his throat as he felt like he should have placed his bet before the black-robed man did. He would have been able to make some more. The odds being lowered to such an extent pained him.Marth noticed this as well. The two of them exchanged glances, and Lourain said with a frown, "Why don't you believe me this one time? We can both place our bets, betting with one person's name. The odds won't change that way, and we'll be able to make more."Marth frowned. He had thought of that, but he wanted to place the bet under his name. After all, he did not trust Lourain.Seeing Marth's silence, Lourain immediately knew what Marth was worried about. Frowning, he grumbled, "Don't worry, I won't
Since the black-robed man had said so much, there was no point in denying it, and both Marth and Lourain fell silent.The black-robed man scoffed and said, "Though, even if you know each other, you're probably not that close. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used a hundred thousand spirit crystals to leave his bet to me."Those words bristled with Marth. Unlike Lourain, he did not have any conflict with Fane and only followed Fane because he wanted to establish a good relationship with Fane. Alas, things did not go the way he wanted. He had taken a step back during the most important moment.He was truthfully conflicted when Fane let the black-robed man handle the matter. On one hand, he was thankful that Fane did that since it would not expose their relationship with Fane and they would not end up being hated by the Star Continent. On the other hand, it also showed that Fane did not trust them both.It was also possible that he saw how doubtful the two of them were and did not want to
Rowan gritted his teeth hatefully, but there was nothing he could say at that moment. Percy had shot him a look earlier, and he could tell that Percy wanted him to keep his composure and stop going against Fane in case anything changed.Fane's earlier decision was beneficial to them, so even if Rowan felt like he was about to explode from the anger and that he wanted to run into a wall, he had to compose himself and bear with it.In another five minutes, all the bets were placed, and the betting area closed down.There was a faint purple glow from the center of the stage. Seeing the glow, everyone held their breaths. More of the light condensed, slowly forming a massive figure. It was a massive snake with three heads, its scales having various special symbols.Fane raised an eyebrow and mumbled, "It's a three-headed silver python." Most three-headed silver pythons lived in first-grade worlds, but a few of them existed in second-grade worlds. Most of those in attendance could recogn
The three-headed silver python's eyes had a cold glint to them as it looked at the tiny human that walked up to it. It retained some of its intelligence.The python had a special skill; its three pairs of eyes could see through human flesh to see its bones. Thus, as its gaze swept across the people, it could tell how old everyone was judging by their bones.All these humans were younger than 60 years old. For the three-headed silver python that had lived for hundreds of millennia, it was just pitiful. Those humans were all mere ants!The python looked over at Fane who was right in front of it, seemingly wondering what a tiny human was trying to do. Was he challenging itself?Fane took a deep breath, ignoring what everyone else was saying and planning. At that moment, he only had his eyes on the three-headed python in front of him, and nothing else mattered. Even Fane was not sure if he would manage to kill that beast.The beast had been restricted by the laws of the Whirling World
