His thoughts contradicted his actions.
Jack steadily walked toward the betting area. When he initially placed his bet, the odds were at 1:1.06.
With the odds, it was not like there was much profit to be made. However, Jack had betted a whole 20 million spirit
crystal and thus earned 1.2 million in profit.
That sum was a huge one for a lot of the people around. Some of them did not even have that sum if they added
up all their fortunes.
When Jack had put down a 20 million bet, it shocked quite a few of them.
They thought that Jack was merely a pompous airhead who caused one too many troubles, but with his fortunes, it
could be said that Jack had an impressive background behind him.
However, no matter how great his background was, there was no way he could offend the Star Continent so
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfearlessly. After all, they were among the top second-grade worlds.
Jack's actions did nothing but shorten his lifespan.
Rowan gritted his teeth. "He managed to benefit this time! Just look at how much he made. I never expected this
guy to be able to bet twenty million so easily! It looks like he's got a little more going on for him. Still, even if he has
an impressive background or got lucky enough to find some treasure left behind from ancient times, nothing will
change the terrible fate waiting for him!"
Percy, who decided to ignore the matter, was once again thinking about the issue.
He turned to look at Jack's back, and he could not ignore the gnawing feeling that bothered him. Everything about
Jack seemed wrong.
Was Jack capable, after all, of staying true to his word?
However, Percy laughed the moment the thought was in his head, tossing the thought aside.
So what if Jack was talented enough to stay true to his word?
It did not matter if Jack had a strong support system.
The warriors of Star Continent were not to be trifled with. The Whirling World was a place where the strong ruled
over the weak, and death was a mainstay in this world.
Every time it opened, around half of the people who entered would die. Furthermore, Jack dying to them was
completely his own doing. Even if he had a strong backer, they would not be able to find a reason for revenge.
Jack's background was still pure speculation in the end. The moment he managed to offend them so badly, he
sealed his fate.
Nymm frowned and said, "I don't know why, but I feel like this guy isn't a fool at all. It seems like he's purposely
toying with us!"
The moment that was said, all his fellow disciples turned to look at him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNymm coughed and said, "I'm not trying to praise him! Just listen to me. This guy has had a mask on the whole
time. We've only been able to see a part of his face. As long as he changes how he looks, it'll be hard for us to find
him again."
"If he was just an idiot with a painfully low IQ, then it would be simple. As long as he steps on stage, we'd be in
control of the situation, but I don't think he will. The fact that he bet so much on Percy means that he has a clear
mind."
"Since he knows how strong we are, the consequences of offending us, and what he's going to face when he goes
on stage... Since he knows everything, he wouldn't have done that unless he wants us to torture
him to death!"
Nymm's analysis made a lot of sense.
After the others heard that, their expressions turned serious and were deep in thought.
If Jack decided against his word in the end, they would just be able to say a few things about it at most. It was not
the most reliable of plans.
If he really wanted to go back on his word, they did not have the time to drag things on with him either.
