"Then, why not make it a million gold coins?" Leo said with a mischievous smile on his face. He explained, "Five hundred thousand gold coins is but a pure insult to someone with such a status as you, Brother Elmont. So, let's make the price higher,"

Hearing Leo's words, everyone inside the room was immediately shocked and feeling a bit of disbelief. 

General Luke and Darvis turned to look at each other as they soon saw the shock in each other's eyes. 

For General Luke, one million gold coins were considered as two years worth of work. While on the other hand, Darvis thought that if such an amount of money was only given to the Royal Blacksmiths of the Evergreen royal family instead of this useless and unnecessary betting, it could definitely help them a lot. 

Unlike the two though, Elmont was still able to keep his composure. But, he still didn't expect that Leo would actually make the price twice the value he had just proposed.

Five hundred thousand gold coins is already something considered by a lot of people as far beyond their reach, and in fact, only a few people in the entire Emerald Tree Kingdom could afford such a price, especially if it was merely going to be used in betting.

And although Elmont couldn't agree more with Leo that his status is indeed much benefiting with a bet of one million gold coins, but five hundred thousand gold coins was also something he was fine with. After all, the money was only for fun, the main offer here was the chance to ask a single request from the person who will lose the bet.

Contrary to the three of them, Elvis immediately objected, "Guild Leader Loki, I deeply request that you reconsider your decision,"

In Elvis' opinion, the Mischievous Lion Guild couldn't afford to use one million gold coins. He had already learned about the future plans of the Mischievous Lion Guild, and all of it would need a lot of money to completely achieve. If they lost one million gold coins now, then there is no doubt that a lot of their plans would get affected... Or to be more precise, be delayed to a considerable bit of time, which could more or less affect the development of the Mischievous Lion Guild. 

"You don't have to worry, I know what I'm doing," Leo smiled in assurance to Elvis. He turned to look at Elmont before saying, "But I have a condition,"

"Let's hear it," Elmont agreed. 

"I'll get to pick first and we will only do our picking once we see both Erson and Ehud," Leo replied. 

"Only this?" Elmont asked doubtfully. 

"Yeah, I only want to see them first before deciding, since the last time I saw them was when they were still seriously injured," Leo explained. 

Erson and Ehud were exactly one of the four men with Elvis at that time when he first arrived in the Smiling Lion Village. They were specifically the two who were laying down on a stretcher, almost close to the death's door.

As for the other two, they were tasked by Elvis to buy the other members of the Night Ear group as he had this feeling that they would be sold as slaves in one of the Slave Houses in the underground world.

Anyways, his main reason for seeing Erson and Ehud first before deciding is not because he wants to see who would likely win using his experienced judgment, but rather because he wants to use the Fate Cube to know who will win. 

In the past, he would definitely not have thought of this plan and would have relied on his own judgment which was honed by years of experience. But after experiencing that dream during his visit to the Evergreen royal family's castle, he thought maybe... just maybe... that the other unique capability of the Fate Cube is also available for him to use now.

What exactly is this so-called other unique capability of the Fate Cube?

Just like what the Fate Cube name obviously implies, it is the ability to see the future. 

Indeed, the Fate Cube doesn't only allow one to see the String of Fate, but also the future of a person. Well, technically speaking, the String of Fate could still be considered as seeing the future, but what he is meaning to say here is to see scenes of the future.

There were two reasons why he hasn't tried using this in the past; firstly, and the biggest reason of the two is, he wasn't sure whether he could still use it because his unique capability to communicate with the God of Fate didn't also appear for a certain period of time. And lastly, because there was no opportunity for him to use it, even after discovering the possibility that this unique capability might also now work. 

Coincidentally, this moment right now can be considered as an opportunity for him to confirm his assumption. 

Unfortunately, there is just one single problem, not really that big of a problem though...

He would rather mainly use the unique capability to see the String of Fate because it was the most convenient to use compared to the unique capability to see the future. The reason for this is because the former would only need him to activate it in order to see the String of Fate, while on the other hand, the latter would require him to consume a lot of Mana, specifically depending on how far into the future he wants to see and who is his target. 

The amount of Mana when using the unique capability to see the future is every hour equivalent to a quarter of his current Mana capacity. But this would only be the case if his target is not someone who is considered as blessed by the heavens, or to be more precise, the talent of his target could also affect the amount of Mana he needed to use. If they are one of those so-called geniuses, then the amount of Mana he would have to expend would be something he can't afford at his current cultivation level. 

However, there is no need to worry that much. Just like what he had mentioned before, this is not considered as that big of a problem, that is base on the fact that Erson and Ehud don't have any String of Fate attached to him, which only means to say that they are only considered as average by the Fate Cube. 

He had already noticed a long time ago this obvious rule of the Fate Cube where only the talented and capable people would be chosen to have a String of Fate attached to him. Unless they meet such a requirement, then it can only be considered that they are average, at least that is the case for the Fate Cube, not for Elmont and the others. 

Seeing that Leo and Elmont have already completed the deal, Elvis could only heave a sigh of helplessness and said, "So, this bet is only between the two of you?"

"Very much, yes," Elmont nodded his head in confirmation.

"Okay, then all of us here would bear as the witness of this bet between Guild Leader Loki and Seventh Prince Elmont," Elvis said as he turned to look at General Luke and Darvis. 

General Luke and Darvis quickly understood what Elvis meant with his words.

"I'll be honest, so you don't have to worry," General Luke said in assurance. 

"As long as you don't fix the fight in the arena, then I will act as your witness if ever his Highness Elmont doesn't comply with the agreement," Darvis said. 

"Good, then let's wait for both Erson and Ehud to enter the arena," Elvis said as he chooses a chair beside Leo to sit. 

Following Elvis' action, Leo and the others immediately turned their attention to look at the arena in front of them. 

"Oh, by the way, can I join the betting as well?" General Luke quickly asked. 

"No problem! How much? And which participant?" Elvis nodded his head. 

"I would like to bet on Erson," General Luke said as he waved his hand, quickly taking one hundred thousand gold coins from his Storage Ring. 

"Okay," Elvis replied and waved his hand to store the money inside another Storage Ring. 

In the next moment, the crowd sitting around the arena suddenly began cheering as loud as they can while chanting the names of the participant that they support. 

"Erson!"

"Erson!"

"Erson!"

"Ehud! 

"Ehud!

"Ehud!"

Ten tails of light were shot out from the square arena straight towards the sky, exploding out different beautiful lights to hype out the crowd and to attract more people to come and watch the show. 

As expected, the crowd became even more livelier compared to just a few seconds ago.

"Go Erson! Show that arrogant Ehud who is the King of the Arena!" 

"Go, Ehud! Trash that show-off Erson and become the King of the Arena!" 

"That Ehud will definitely lose, he is just a boastful person! Lucky for him, all the opponents he has met until now were only considered as average!"

"Che! I admit that Ehud is arrogant indeed, but at least he has real skills to speak off! While that Erson only knows how to show off, acting as if he is the main character of a theater show! I bet that the only reason he has won until now is because he has paid all of his opponents!"

"What did you say?!"

"You started it first!"

"....."

Along with the loud cheers, debates, and fighting within the crowd, two people in different corners slowly walked out as they slowly approached the center stage. 

Erson was a slightly skinny blond-haired Elf with a lance as his personal weapon. 

On the other hand, Ehud was a slightly muscular blond-hair Elf with a battle-axe as his personal weapon.

The two of them slowly arrived at the center stage as they then turned to look towards the crowd and waved their hands while saying their appreciation and gratitude for their support.
