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 Jack and only followed Jack because he wanted to establish a good
relationship with Jack. 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 Jack let the black-robed man handle the matter. On one hand, he was thankful
that Jack did that since it would not expose their relationship with Jack and they would not end up being hated by
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe Star Continent. On the other hand, it also showed that Jack did not trust them both.
It was also possible that he saw how doubtful the two of them were and did not want to make things difficult for
them.
Regardless, he lost the chance to curry favor with someone strong.
The black-robed man could basically see from their expressions what they were thinking, so questions were
unnecessary.
He raised an eyebrow. "I'll bet six million. Why don't we do this bet together? Since you don't trust each other, just
hand the spirit crystals to me. I can sign a contract with you both too so that there will be no room for regrets."
Marth and Lourain's eyes widened.
Once a contract was signed, anyone who went against it would have their soul destroyed. If the three of them
signed a contract, there would be no need to get stuck on the details. There was no way to go against any contract,
after all.
Normally, warriors very rarely signed any ofthose contracts, and some would rather die than sign it.
The black-robed man, however, seemed quick to agree to sign it. In truth, that was probably the only way to solve
the problem. Thus, the three of them decided to work together and handed all the spirit crystals to the black- robed
man, totaling their spirit crystals to 14 million.
That was equal to one and a half pieces of purple gold, which was pitiful in comparison to Jack's bet.
With another 14 million-bet, Jack's odds dropped by point zero four percent, stumbling down from 1:1.83 to 1:1.79.
As the odds changed, some of the people there faltered.
Everyone had seen Jack betting 20 pieces of purple gold, but what about the other three?
They joined their wealth to bet 14 million in one go!
Even though 14 million was nothing compared to 200 million, it was an astronomical sum for most people!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe odds changing garnered everyone's attention.
Percy's sharp eyes looked over with killing intent like an angered eagle.
Seeing this, Lourain and Marth ducked, not daring to meet his gaze. In comparison, the black-robed man was calm.
Even though he did not dare to completely ignore the Star Continent like Jack, he was not as afraid of Star
Continent as regular folks were.
At least, he did not mind offending them. Even if the gaze intensified, the black-robed man would not care.
Rowan's expression was stormy on the stage. His eyes were fixed on the scroll in the air. Everyone's odds were
changing, and when he saw that Jack's odds were lower than his, he felt like he had been slapped.
Things never go the way he wanted ever since he met Jack. Even the odds were not what he wanted them to be!
Why were his odds at 1.92 while Jack's were at 1.79?
It was a whole 13 percent less!
To the warriors on stage, the lower the odds they had, the more their strength was recognized by everyone else
and his odds were horrible!
Rowan's anger only rose the longer he stared. Even though he knew he had no way of comparing to Randall, he
was still stronger than Jack. He never expected this to be the result.
