After all, they were not betting in small sums.
If they lost, then they would be left with nothing. Quite a few warriors had gone completely bankrupt from betting.
With all those examples to look at, most warriors would maintain their reason.
However, this was a completely different situation. Ninety percent of the warriors were rushing to the betting area.
There were even some who had bet their whole fortunes. The odds were rapidly dropping, and they watched as the
odds dropped from 1:2 to 1:1.56.
In just a few moments, the odds dropped again, going from 1:1.56 to 1:1.43. Looking at the odds frantically
dropping, quite a few warriors started to get anxious.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf it were not for the laws in place, they would have definitely pushed aside all the warriors in front of them and
rushed to the front, betting everything they had.
"It's dropping so quickly! It was just 1:1.43 before, and now it's 1:1.39. If this continues, it'll be nothing when it's my
turn," A man in purple robes anxiously said as he looked at the odds.
Naturally, the side of Jack losing was the one that saw its odds drastically dropping.
Compared to how fast those odds were dropping, the odds of Jack winning had not moved at all. Ninety percent of
the audience had gone to bet this time, and not a single person had bet on Jack winning.
The odds rapidly dwindled, but the crowd was still there even after a few minutes. Lourain stood behind the crowd
and sighed. He turned to look at Marth.
Marth was frowning at that moment. He grabbed Lourain's shirt with one hand as if he was worried that Lourain
would run away.
Lourain said in exasperation, "Can you just let go? Didn't we say we'd go
together anyway? I won't leave you alone."
Lourain was obviously not happy with the situation. After all, no one had ever bet on Jack winning the whole time.
The moment someone did, considering how much they were betting, it would cause quite a bit of a commotion. It
would attract a lot of attention, and they would suddenly become the focus of everyone there.
It was an unavoidable situation, so Lourain was already prepared. Even though he did not want to face that
situation, he considered that Jack would definitely be angry if he left Marth alone.
Jack had not liked him from the start. Whether or not Jack would let him go in the end was already a big question,
so no matter how unwilling he was, he still followed through.

worried that Lourain would leave him to face the crowd.
Time slowly ticked away.
After a few more minutes, it was finally their turn.
The two of them had a helpless look on their faces. Even though they had already mentally prepared for it, they still
hesitated.
The two of them were stuck in their conflict and did not step forward.
The person behind them frowned and said unhappily, "Is there something wrong with you two? It's already your
turn, so hurry up! If you're just going to stand here, then go away. Don't waste our time. I don't want to keep
standing here!"
