Chapter 227: Get ready to lay below my foot
"That fat guy... He is really funny." The sword Magus replied while laughing with a wide, open mouth.
Nina glared angrily. "You don\'t need to hide things for me." Nina gave a serious look to the sword magus.
"Little girl, this old man is definitely laughing at me. I put 7,000 spirit stones in bet against the Fat Guy\'s candidate. That fat guy just made a retort for the ones who placed bets. This old man is laughing at me because of what that fat guy said." Nina spoke in a dissatisfied tone while giving an angry look to her hubby, Supreme Sword Magus.
After hearing what Nina said, the three ladies stared at each other\'s faces and controlled the smile creeping on their faces. But Sophia failed to control her laughter and smiled while covering her lips with her palm.
The sword magus saw Sophia who is struggling to control her laughter. "Little girl, why are you laughing? Is something funny?" The sword magus asked with a questioning look.
Sophia froze for a second as her body shook with tension. She hurriedly hid her face behind Amelia. "Sorry, elder, I didn\'t mean to offend you." Sophia spoke in a shaky tone.
"You are thinking too much. I\'m not a petty person to get offended for small reasons. Fell free and be yourself." The sword magus said in a calm tone while smiling.
"Little lady, stop being over reactive and tell me why you are laughing." Nina spoke in a leisurely tone while picking a meat role from the table.
As Amelia spoke, Sophia slowly let go of her nervousness and sat normally. "E-Elder, please forgive me if I speak too much. I laughed because of what you said. Y-you might lose those 7,000 spirit stones, as your chosen candidate will definitely lose in this fight." Sophia replied in a shaky tone.
Nina, who is eating the meatball, stopped for a second after hearing what Sophia said. "Little lady, you seem very biased. The candidate I chose is a grand master magus, and the opponent is a master magus. I don\'t think there is even a chance for me to lose my coins. You might be saying this because of your relationship with that fighter. Am I right?" Find your next read at m_v l|e-NovelBin.net
After hearing Nina\'s question, all three girls were taken aback. They did not understand how Nina guessed so exactly.
"Why are you not saying anything? By any chance, am I right?" Nina asked again after seeing the reactions of three girls.
As Sophia became silent, Lucy began answering. "Yes, elder, you guessed exactly. She loves him dearly. But what you don\'t know is that the opponent is her own brother."
The smile on Nina\'s face froze for a second after hearing that sentence. Even the sword magus was surprised after knowing the reality.
"There is definitely a family drama going on here." Nina muttered while leaning back on her seat.
"Elder, you should also know one more thing. The person who is treating me is also the Master Magus who is fighting today. Also, Sophie wasn\'t biased when she spoke about Master Magus winning today." Amelia spoke in a confident tone while staring at the arena, where a loud uproar was going on as the arbiter prepared to call the names of two fighters.
Nina stared at Amelia for a long time and turned her gaze towards Arena without saying anything. The sword magus, who got curious after hearing what the three ladies said, turned his head towards the Arena to see Kent, who is walking towards the center.
The entire Arena stands became dark, and only two focus lights were glowing in the fighting ring. One is on Zi Chen, who stood at the center, and the other is on Kent, who is walking towards the center, along with his Fire Kirin.
As the Kent reached the center, the fighting Arena lit up brightly, and the arbiter addressed the spectators with a loud cheering noise. Zi Chen, who came with two pets, a six-legged lizard and a featherless condor, is staring at Kent with a murderous look.
With a loud, amplified tone, the arbiter began addressing the fight. "Everyone, please be calm. I have big news to announce. Before starting the match, let me explain the routine. As this fight reached the Arena standards of a star fight, each fighter can use two pets. Even though obvious killing is not allowed, no one is responsible if someone dies."
Zi Chen smirked playfully after hearing that sentence. With his long, star-shaped staff in his hands, he stood confidently. Peak Master of the Burning Sun Sect specifically gave several treasures to Zi Chen for protection, which are shining brightly on his body now.
Ignoring Zi Chen, Kent bit his teeth and made a loud hissing sound. In the next second, Jabil, the serpent beast, came rushing into the Arena. After seeing the fierce-looking serpent beast, the arbiter took a back step. Even Zi Chen smile froze after seeing Jabil.
"Okey, now that the two fighters have their pets, let\'s move on to the interesting part. Mr. Zi Chen, as you are experienced in the Arena, begin the taunting act before starting the main fight." The arbiter announced with a clap, and the lights went off in the next second.
With a smug smile, Zi Chen touched his forehead to the staff and thought about a scene from his memory. Soon, a short glimpse of Zi Chen placing his foot on an enemy face during an arena fight played in the air. It is his memory from the past, where he crushed a high-ranking opponent.
The crowd went berserk, as the meaning is obvious. Zi Chen wants to repeat the same act and step on Kent\'s face.
"Get ready to lay below my foot." Zi Chen spoke in a loud tone while staring at Kent with a smug look.
"It\'s your turn, Mr. Kent... Show your taunt."
With Arbiter\'s gesture, Kent took out his Victor bow and touched it to his forehead while holding it horizontally.
"When did this happen?" The entire Arena became dead silent after seeing Zi Chen\'s painful face in the glimpse played by Kent.
