If Percy could not beat the purple-feathered beast, they would regain what they betted. However, if Percy won, they
would be able to make a quick fortune.
Lourain coughed before he glanced at Jack. He was eager as well but was worried that he would get angry if he bet
on Percy. After all, they just had a brief conflict-and an intense one at that. Him betting on Percy would mean he
was siding with the enemy.
He would not be willing to voice out his intentions, but he did not want to lose out on a gamble that was a sure win
either. It was not just Lourain, but Marth had a similar expression on his face as well.
Lourain gulped. He had a conflicted expression on his face as he struggled to decide if he would go. If he went, he
would offend Jack. If he did not, he would lose out on a clear opportunity that was plain to see. He was reluctant to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdo so, so Lourian felt incredibly conflicted.
Compared to Marth, Lourain was a lot more impatient. Even if Marth was thinking the same thing, he had much
better control over his emotions.
Marth knew how much Lourain loved to gain any little profit he could either. So, Marth felt like he would not need to
be the one to speak up.
Marth looked over at Lourain. Sure enough, Lourain constantly glanced at Jack with a guilty expression. It was
practically written all over his face. Looking at that, Marth smirked, suddenly becoming calmer.
Jack did not see what the two of them were doing at all. Even if he did, he would not care. Jack was never affected
by others, no matter what he did. The moment he decided on something, he would ignore everyone else even if
they saw him as a joke.
He raised an eyebrow as he looked at Rowan and the others, who were all sitting in front. They looked at the betting
area snidely.
The betting area was bustling at that moment. Everyone immediately bet all the spirit crystals they had on Percy.
The more all those warriors acted impatient and rashly, the more the warriors from Star Continent looked down on
them.
It was as if they were looking at mere flies.
Rowan said in disdain, "These pests aren't even worthy of wiping my shoes."
Nymm laughed and said, "I think being a servant by my side wouldn't be as humiliating as being them. They just
want to take advantage of the situation. If they put so many spirit crystals on Percy, Percy's odds would get worse.
In the end, they'd only be able to earn maybe a few thousand. It's not even anything worth batting an eye for, but
all of them are rushing over, worried they'll lose out!"
The disdain in Nymm's eyes was clear as he said all of that. He looked at everyone like they were swimming in a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsewer. They never bothered to lower their voices either, so a few people around them could hear everything
clearly.
Those eager to place felt themselves gritting their teeth and their ears reddening at those words, but they did not
dare to talk back. They were forced to hold it in, not even daring to say anything. They were worried that their
words would be overheard. If they ended up being targeted by the warriors of Star Continent, their fates would be
tragic.
Jack raised an eyebrow. Amongst all the anger and mockery, he calmly stood up. However, everyone thought Jack
was crazy anyway, so none of them bothered talking to Jack.
The conflict from earlier had passed, and everyone was more focused on the betting area and Percy on the stage.
Fewer people paid attention to Jack, but anything Jack did would no doubt attract a lot of attention again.
