Chapter 1059 Fifty Billion Worth Of Stake
Colin ran over to the stand readily. “I’m putting in one hundred million for Mr. Chance!” he shouted at the top of his voice, attracting the attention of the people around.
Some of them started ridiculing him for his silly decision.
“Me too! Ten billion for Mr. Chance!”
Another young man came forward and bet a huge amount on Jared.
It was none other than Tristan from the Bailey family. Since the family had been forging close ties with Jared, it went without saying that they would attend the event and support him.
Eventually, more people joined in, including representatives from the Medicine God Sect. Since Axton had to tend to Lizbeth, they had sent Donald over.
His appearance sparked discussion among the people.
“The Medicine God Sect? I didn’t know they’re interested in things like this!”
“I know, right? But you know what? They didn’t send their elders. It’s just some underlings that they sent.”
“Do you think the host invited them here? After all, Jared is from the Department of Justice. The Medicine God Sect might have someone who could heal him if he gets injured.”
Amidst all these conjectures, Donald went forward to the gambling table and exclaimed, “The Medicine God Sect bets fifty billion on Mr. Chance!”
This became a lightning bolt for attention, triggering an uproar.
Although the Medicine God Sect was not one of the giants when it came to martial arts, they were second to none in terms of medicine. Many of the families would buy medicine from them, so it was understandable that they had a strong financial background, yet putting a fifty billion stake was still unexpected.
The people could not help but question what the Medicine God Sect’s relationship with Jared was.
Actually, Jared’s identity as the Lord of Medicine God Sect was unknown to many. Even the Deragons and the Warriors Alliance were unaware of that.
“What’s wrong with the Medicine God Sect? Do they not know that Jared was here as a provocation of our alliance?”
Zion was outraged when he saw that the Medicine God Sect was laying money on their rival.
“I have no idea what they’re thinking, but they have recently severed all the deals they had with us. In turn, they have been selling more pills to Jared’s friends, including the Bailey family and the Shadow Estate,” Warren answered.
“Jared Chance has to die. I will make sure this happens by hook or by crook. We have to safeguard the stability of the martial arts world in Jadeborough,” Zion snapped when he sensed the threat.
“Don’t worry, President Zeigler. That guy is not Edgar’s match. However, it seems that Ryker did not want Jared dead for some reason,” Warren voiced.
“I don’t care what his reasoning is. This guy has to be eliminated. Make sure Ryker knows this.”
Zion glared at the arena in determination. “Have the four elders arrived? I don’t want anything going amiss at this point.”
“Don’t worry, President Zeigler. They are already here. There are a hundred Martial Arts Grandmasters here as well, so if any family decides to act against us, things will end badly for them.”
Here, Warren paused before he continued slowly, “But I’m actually more concerned about the officials interfering rather than the other clans. What if Mr. Sanders decides to save Jared?”
“He’s busy. He won’t be here. The Watanabe family from Jetroina had sent assassins here to kill Jared, so Mr. Sanders is occupied at the moment,” Zion assured Warren with a sly smile on his face.
Warren nodded. “That’s perfect. Jared’s death is already set in stone then.”
Over at the gambling table, a larger crowd was gathering after people found out that the Medicine God Sect placed a massive bet on Jared.
Many still believed that Edgar would crush Jared. After all, many had witnessed Edgar’s ability for themselves.
