Chapter 731 - A Gamble II


    "What?!" The youngdy eximed in shock, she didn''t think us would call such an amount.


    She might be from a well-off family, but she couldn''t afford something like this. Even if she managed to find a way to get it, it would mean emptying her savings and also borrowing from people as well.


    "You can''t take part in a free gamble now, can you?" us asked with an evil grin, "Two of my friends might lose their chances of gaining the number one spot, while only her would lose her chance. That doesn''t seem fair in my honest opinion."


    "We''ll pay it." The youngdy who was still part of thepetition said coolly.


    "I…" The youngdy eliminated wanted to speak but the other one whispered to her.


    "Do you think we would both lose against a single person?" The youngdy who was part of thepetition asked in a soft voice.


    The youngdy who was eliminated shook her head, now she understood why her partner didn''t think much about it. They would win anyway, so there was no use in thinking about the stones.


    The truth was, normally, one of them could hold their own against a Seventh stage Overlord ne Elementalists, much less now that they werebining their strength. To them, they had already won the battle.


    After getting confirmation from them, us gave out a mischievous smile.


    "Bud, it''s up to you now. Those stones are all yours. You know you''ll be doing a lot of traveling once you leave here." us whispered to Grey.


    Grey was taken aback when he realized the reason us agreed to this gamble was just so he could get him essence stones. They''ve seen the cost of traveling, so they all knew it was extremely expensive.


    Grey had the idea of selling some of the items he had but now he wouldn''t need to.


    us walked to the front of the ce, facing everyone. Being someone who had gone to a lot of parties with his father, and even hosted a few, he was very good with this. He greeted everyone present before asking them to bear witness to the wager.


    With these geniuses from the top Factions here, the youngdies would be unable to renege from it.


    The crowd agreed to it. They would get to watch a free battle. Not just that, but they''ve been waiting to see how powerful Grey or us was. Since Alice and Reynolds were already this powerful, then the other two would be even more powerful. If they were not more powerful, they shouldn''t be weaker.


    This was what the crowd felt.


    Joyner agreed with the battle and called one of the guards in the Sage ne to set up a tform for them, and also raise a force field to ensure that none of the battle ripples spread out.


    In no time, the tform was set.


    The youngdies were the first to step onto the tform, they were eager to defeat Grey.


    The youngdy who was eliminated by Reynolds would not be able to join thepetition again, but she wanted to make sure Reynolds didn''t get the first or second position he desired. This might be petty, but she was annoyed by her defeat.


    Grey calmly walked to the tform. All eyes were on him. His facial features were well shown by the moonlight, and it was breathtaking.


    us was handsome, but he paled inparison with Grey. There were a fewdies who inadvertently started supporting Grey.


    Some were speaking about Grey''s appearance. Being already used to this, Grey didn''t let it distract him.


    This was one of the reasons he preferred wearing a mask. Keeping his face hidden would save him some trouble.


    us still got nces fromdies, and since us wasn''t as cold towards strangers as Grey, things were easy for him.


    Grey didn''t speak when he entered the tform, there was nothing to say to thesedies. Although, he had to say he pitied them since they fell into us'' evil hands, but he needed the stones, so there was no going back.


    Joyner was the one in charge of the battle. He walked into the tform, "There''s still time to back away from the bet. Once I call for the start of the battle, then it''s certain."


    The tform remained silent, none of the people there spoke about stopping the bet. Since they wanted this, he had no right to stop it.


    "Begin!" He called for the start of the battle and left the tform. He didn''t forget to warn them about endangering each other''s lives.


    It was normal that in battles like this, people get hurt, but if any of them actively tried to kill anyone, then they would be punished ordingly.


    Kyle had seen Grey fight before, so he knew he was a powerful Elementalist, but he still felt a little pessimistic about his chances of winning easily.


    "Are you two sure about this?" Kyle asked Alice and Reynolds.


    "Of course, Grey needs the stones. Besides, they can''t defeat him." Alice said with a confident smile.


    Kyle looked at them, he felt the same confidence as the time they said Reynolds would win.


    ''Could he really defeat these two?'' He asked himself.


    Grey was powerful, this was something he didn''t dare to doubt, but the fact that he was fighting against two powerful geniuses made him question his ability.


    Of the twodies, one was a Multi Elementalist, while the other was a Dual Elementalist. Both surprisingly had the darkness element.


    The Multi Elementalist was the one Reynolds defeated while the other was the one who was still in thepetition.


    The Dual Elementalist had the darkness and fire element. She was the first to attack Grey, giving the Multi Elementalist the chance to create the darkness ball she used to weaken Reynolds.


    Grey saw this and smiled. He naturally couldn''t be affected by this. For someone who stayed in a poison miasma for days, this was a joke to him. He didn''t even bother with stopping her.
