Five minutes was more than enough time. In truth, after looking at the five beasts, Fane already had an answer in his mind. Even if he was a little unlucky and chose the strongest among the five, it was not a big issue for Fane.No matter how strong they were, they should just be slightly stronger than the frostfire wolf. To Fane, that was no issue at all. Compared to Fane's lack of emotion, the spectators were incredibly excited.When they saw that Fane had started the black iron bet, they were so shocked that they did not know how to react. They had slowly begun to calm down, and when they saw the five images in the air, they felt like cursing in their hearts."This guy is for real! He's already choosing his beast. I feel like I'm seeing things. Ever since Lesley lost the match, I've already felt like I was dreaming.""I feel astounded as well. I thought that the person who started the black iron bet was Arne, but I never expected it to be the wandering warrior who had been argui
Before, Rudy would try to correct the thoughts of others even if he was angered by the discussions. On the other hand, Fane never wanted to bother with the hassle. Back then, Rudy felt like it was not right for Fane to do that.That way, everyone would misunderstand Fane, and try to insult him. Fane should have tried to clear up his name. Yet, as time passed Rudy slowly understood why Fane acted that way.Facing a crowd like that, no matter how loud you are and how much truth you spoke, it was completely useless. There was no way to correct their thoughts. There was only one way to shut them up, which was to use his own strength to force them to shut up.The one who was the most excited among all of them was definitely Arne. He had been forced into silence by Fane, but finally found a way for him to vent out his frustrations. When he heard the discussions around him, Arne immediately stood up in the stands.He shouted out, "Anyone who feels like Lucius is skilled, can you please wa
The cruel reality was plain for all to see. They could not help but wonder if Fane really was crazy. The discussions around him did not affect Fane at all. Two and a half minutes quickly passed by, and he raised an eyebrow, feeling like there was no reason to hesitate any longer.He turned to look at the caretaker, pointing right at the Thousand Feathered Beast. Since he did not know the skill level of the other four beasts and what they were called, he would pick one he was familiar with.Even if Fane had estimated the Thousand Feathered Beast to be at the second or third among the five beasts, putting it at above average, Fane did not mind. It would not affect anything at all.The caretaker was different from the others. He did not care about Fane's status or background. He was just a caretaker who upheld the rules. After Fane made his choice, the other four figures turned into energy, disappearing into the air. Only the Thousand Feathered Beast remained, slowly solidifying. Its
Quite a few warriors shook their heads silently. Practically no one felt that Fane would win. The chances of him winning were so slim that it was negligible. Compared to the one to seven odds, they felt like one to two odds was not too bad. Even if they could not win seven times their bet, betting on Fane was a sure loss."What are you even thinking about? Do you think that the one to seven odds is very attractive? Even if it's rare, this guy will definitely lose. There's no reason to bet on him at all! One to two odds might be much lower, but there's nothing to think about considering the other option would lose!""You shouldn't be so intent on gambling! That guy might be acting so confidently, but he's still just a wandering warrior. You have to think things through. This is a black iron bet, there's no way to get by with just luck!""Those who think that Lucius will win are just too crazy for money, but there's no reasoning with people like that. You should think about it hones
Black iron bets have a very high upper limit. If you win, you'll get many times your spirit crystals back. If you lose, you lose everything! Arne's yelling slowly swayed the warriors who wanted to bet on Fane. After all, Arne's words sounded quite reasonable. Even if the odds were so high, there was no way Lucius could win the black iron bet.No matter how much they bet on him, it would just amount to nothing. It was better if they bet on the beast instead! Even if they would only be able to make twice their bets, they were still betting a lot on this! Looking on as people slowly stopped wanting to bet on Fane, Arne was incredibly ecstatic.That was what he wanted to see! As long as Fane suffered, Arne would be happy. Not only did he want to watch as Fane dies, but he also wanted Fane to suffer as well. He wanted Fane to regret going against him!Arne turned to look at Fane, who was still on the stage. He felt like Fane had definitely heard everyone's words, and was definitely suffe
Arne's eyes had a challenging glint in them. He wanted to see how many spirit crystals Fane would take out and who he would bet on. Logically, with how arrogant that guy was, he would bet on himself, but it was also possible that the brat would throw a curveball and bet his spirit crystals on the beast.After Arne said all of that, he attracted the curiosity of all those around them as well. They wanted to see how much Fane would bet and whether Fane would bet on the beast or himself.Facing the curious gazes of the crowd, Fane maintained his composure, not caring what the others thought or said. They did not know Fane's skills at all nor did they know what he was thinking. Fane did not want them to know more about him either.He turned around and walked right over to the betting area outside of the colosseum. Fane's actions caused everyone else to stand up from the spectator stands as well, following Fane toward the betting area.Rudy was practically jogging to keep up with Fane's
With that, Fane walked to the side. Rudy, standing behind him, stepped up after Fane placed his bet and did not hesitate at all as he took out all his savings from his storage ring. It was 67000 spirit crystals, all placed on Fane.He walked to Fane's side. At that moment, everyone started to look at the two of them differently as the discussions slowly got louder."They've been sitting together from the start. The guy beside Lucius had always been protecting Lucius. It was obvious that their relationship was quite close."Now it looks like they're not just close but incredibly slow. That guy took out an odd number of spirit crystals, so that has to be all that he has."He bet everything on Lucius! Isn't he afraid of losing it all? He heard everything we said earlier. Is he really that confident in this Lucius guy, and actually feels like Lucius can win the black iron bet?""Don't overestimate those two. They must've come from an insignificant place. They probably don't know how s
In two hours at most, they would see who would be the ones laughing. The ones who took part in the bet took up two-thirds of the audience, and among them, only one of them was someone Fane was familiar with.That person bet 100000 spirit crystals on Fane. It was the wandering warrior who wore a green robe from before, the same man Lesley had berated.The green-robed man had betted on the beast in the battle before the last, winning three times his spirit crystals. At that moment, he took out a portion of that and betted it on Fane.When the green-robed man shouted out that he would bet a hundred thousand spirit crystals on the warrior, everyone was stunned. They looked at the green-robed man with disdain and mockery."This guy's gone nuts, just like Lucius. Both of them had been threatened by Lesley before, but this green-robed guy is a little smarter than Lucius. After being threatened by Lesley, he didn't talk back. With what he's doing right now, it's clear that he's coming for
