Becoming An Ancestor In Another World From This Day On
Chapter 191 - There’s a Show to WatchChapter 191 There’s a Show to Watch
The man in charge of the bet was called Orville. After watching Ron leave, he came to a restaurant on the other side of the street. As if with some purpose, he walked very quickly and came directly to a room at the end of the second floor of the restaurant.
Two people were sitting in the room, recuperating. They were the two who had fought outside earlier.
When the two of them saw Orville arrive, they seemed to have temporarily forgotten their pain. They stood up excitedly and said, “Brother Orville, how much have you won? Did you gain a lot this time?”
Orville did not care too much. Instead, he rolled his eyes and threw the bag on the table. “Normal standard. This belongs to the two of you. You can split it among yourselves.”
“Why is it so little?” One of them quickly opened the bag and asked in disappointment.
“It’s all because your acting was too fake. It had already been seen through by others, so I deducted a little. Next time, act more realistically,” said Orville.
“That’s impossible. Look at the injuries on both of us. We were really fighting,” said the burly man on the left. “That’s right, especially the last attack. It was all real. How could anyone have seen through it? Don’t tell me you were just saying it casually because you wanted to deduct money from us?” The burly man on the right echoed.
“Hehe, even the onlookers today have good tempers. If it had not been for someone who had long exposed you, you might have been beaten to death,” said Orville.
The two burly men were instantly speechless from the rebuttal. They did not say anything and went to distribute the treasures in the bag in satisfaction.
These two burly men were both Magi of very low levels, and they did not have any fixed jobs. However, there were still many ways to earn money here. Their days were quite comfortable.

For example, if the two of them were really exposed today, they might really be beaten to death. Orville recalled Ron’s expression before he left. He had already seen through everything but did not have the heart to expose it. He felt a wave of lingering fear. He had not expected the seemingly harmless young master to be able to see through their little tricks.
The three of them had colluded earlier and had worked together more than once. Two of them pretended to start a fight, while the other was in charge of collecting the bet and deciding who would win according to the situation.
The two burly men whom Orville had found were basically of similar strength, so it was not strange whoever won or lost. In the beginning, the two of them fought for real and maintained an evenly-matched strength. In the end, the outcome would be determined by Orville’s secret signal. It was almost impossible for ordinary people to discover. Could it be that Ron was a Mage of the Divine Power Realm?
Orville thought so, but he quickly rejected his idea. It was impossible.
“Everyone, go and watch the show. Quick, let’s go.”
“What happened?”
“There’s something interesting happening outside the city again. It looks like someone is about to make a move.”
“What?”
“Teg and the others seem to have found another fat sheep. They’re out of the city
now.”
“Could it be that they want to fight outside the city? They’re getting bolder and bolder.”
They suddenly heard a discussion outside. For some reason, there seemed to be someone running desperately on the roof, and figures could be constantly seen above the window.
The two burly men who had just distributed the money were attracted by the sounds. One of them shouted excitedly, “Look, it looks especially lively over there.”
Orville was obviously attracted by the commotion. In an instant, he teleported directly outside the window, and then he jumped onto the roof and hurried toward the commotion.
This was because to Orville, not only could he watch the show, it might also be a good opportunity to earn money.
Anything could make money. This had always been Orville’s way of life.
Moreover, he had only occasionally found some people to do some small tricks. Most of the time, he would bet normally, but he would earn less. Orville immediately followed the group to the top of the city wall outside.
This kind of thing could be said to be commonplace in Hardy County. Although there were guards on the city wall, under most circumstances, as long as it was not a particularly intense altercation, they would pretend not to see.
Soon, 20 to 30 onlookers had appeared on the city wall. Everyone was discussing spiritedly.
“Come, come, everyone, place your bets. Those who want to place your bets, hurry up. If you miss this chance, there won’t be another,” Orville shouted.
“Aiyo, it’s really not a bad opportunity to make money. What are the odds this time?” someone joked.
“Same old rules. Same old rules. How much do you want to bet?” Orville took out a pen and paper, as usual.

“Three spirit stones. He’ll lose in an hour.”
“I… I’ll bet with one spirit stone. I’ll bet on him winning.”
Instantly, everyone’s interest was piqued. Usually, when they were bored, this was their way of entertainment.
Orville looked outside as he collected the money.
The first thing that came into view was a bully notorious in this area. His name was Teg. Usually, he relied on robbing outsiders to survive. No one dared to provoke him.
Suddenly, Orville seemed to have seen a familiar figure in the crowd. He was instantly stunned, and his expression froze as if someone had hit his acupoint.
“It’s him? Didn’t I remind him not to act alone earlier?” Orville thought. “Why is he leaving the city alone?”
At the same time, more than a thousand meters away from Orville, Ron was suddenly surrounded by a group of people, but Ron was not afraid at all. “What’s the matter?” he said calmly.
“Yo, aren’t you afraid? Why are you so calm?” said a sharp-tongued man in the lead. “Are you new here? Do you know nothing? Do you know who we are?”
Quite a number of people beside him also laughed. “It’s fine. He’ll know who we are in a while. He might even have to address the two of us as Grandpa.”

Another person, whose face had the words “I’m a bad person” written all over it, revealed a fierce expression. “I don’t care which family clan you’re from, or which academy you’re from. If you don’t want us to beat you up, hand over all the spirit stones and silver you have.”
Ron said disdainfully, “Are you guys going to rob me in broad daylight?”
“Hahaha, looks like you’re really new. You don’t know the rules here at all. Do you believe that I can kill you directly?” the leader said viciously.
