Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 142: Bet On

At arena four, a duel was about to begin. On one side was a human man, while on the other side was a Luo Suo. There were several screens hanging above the arena. The screens were filled with information about two gladiators, providing a reference for the guests to place their bets on the arena (Note).

There were still ten minutes left before the battle started.

The human gladiator, Broy, showed a record of 13-7. Two of these battles were won in life and death battles. Life and Death Combat is a special type of combat provided by Venus Hotel. In this type of combat, there will be no restrictions, and only life and death can be separated. And this kind of mode was often provided for guests to gamble with.

When this mode is activated, the odds of a gladiator doubling. Of course, the amount of basic investment will be increased accordingly. Take this Broy as an example. He was already an experienced gladiator after winning two life-and-death battles.

So his odds are low, just 1 to 1.75. Looking at his opponent, Loso, the number of matches he had participated in was limited. The winner and loser were only 55 points. The odds were relatively high, and the screen displayed the words 1: 3.

The guests began to place their bets.

Alan looked at the arena and saw Gladiator Broy quietly sitting in a corner. He was muscular and his dark complexion made him look like every muscle was made of steel. Broy's eyes were calm. He had a very heroic beard and even braided it with his beard on both sides. Under his feet, a series of ancient weapons, such as shields, mace, iron spears, and meteor hammers, were lined up.

None of this was a magical weapon.

Opposite Broy, the similarly tall Loso stood uneasily and occasionally let out demonstrative growls at Broy. The Luo Suo people were eager to try, as if they couldn't wait to tear Broy's head off immediately.

Seeing this, Alan walked over and bought a bet from Broy.

Ten minutes later, the bet was stopped. It could be seen that there were obviously more guests voting for Broyle. After all, Broyle's winning rate was set there. However, there were also a few guests who placed their hopes on the alien for the high odds of the Boluoso. Ellen will vote for Broyle, and his winning streak is a point of reference. The most important thing was Broyle's gaze. Only a true warrior could achieve that calm.

The battle began.

After the referee made the start gesture, he flew off the stage like he was flying. The Luo Suo man roared, picked up two short axes and rushed towards Broy. The human gladiator's choice was much more conservative. Bloy quickly picked up his shield and meteor hammer and went forward.

Luo Suo people came aggressively, at the end of the person, a hand. Then, he threw the axe in his left hand towards Broy, and the axe spun wildly with astonishing energy. Bloy's entire body shrank behind the shield. With a loud sound, his axe smashed into the shield and created a spark!

Broyle took three steps back, bounced his axe onto the ground, and stabbed it into the arena.

A burst of cries of alarm rang out in the crowd.

The Luo Suo people were unforgiving, and they pounced forward with strange shouts, launching a fierce attack on Broy. He even used his body shape to roll the long lizard-like tail into his hand. Both axes swung together, launching a storm-like attack on Broy. The axe lights cut through the space on the arena and exploded like lightning.

A dense explosion rang out.

Bloy was also calm as he used his shield to endure the onslaught of the Lothos. After the opponent attacked with twenty or thirty axes, he caught the Luo Suo people's chance to lose their stamina and their movements slowed down. The shield pressed forward fiercely, creating a circle of Origin Energy ripples that pushed the Luo Suo people away. A cold light flashed in Broy's eyes as he waved his arm. The Meteor Hammer Belt smashed towards the head of the Luo Suo people with a howling wind.

The Luo Suo people raised their axes, but they were still smashed flying by Broy's hammer and fell to the ground. Bloy leaned forward, ready to pounce. However, for some reason, he did not rush out. Instead, he lowered his center of gravity and set up his shield to defend himself.

The spectators shook their heads. It was obvious that Broy had missed an opportunity to attack. If he seized the opportunity to launch a ferocious attack, he might be able to defeat the Lothos straightforwardly.

As expected, the Luo Suo people took the opportunity to spring up and organize a second offensive.

In the end, Bloy was knocked over by the continuous attacks of the Lothos, and the aliens immediately threw an axe at him. If Broy hadn't dodged so quickly, he would have had his head cut off. However, his shoulder was still wiped by the flying axe, leaving a shocking cut.

The referee immediately declared the match over.

The Luo Suo people were still fierce, so they wanted to pounce on him and kill Broyle thoroughly. Several hotel guards fired three EMP guns at him, knocked him down with a strong electric current, and then dragged him out.

Alan looked at Broy. Even though he had lost the match, a smile appeared on the man's face.

The next duel is set for 30 minutes.

"Looking at you like this, you must have lost money."

While the staff was cleaning up the arena, Adele walked over and proudly said, "Sister, I've won two consecutive battles."

Alan shook his head and said, "Looks like I have to bet with you in the future. I thought I would win, but who knows "

"I'm not as good at fighting as you, but when it comes to investing, you can't even catch up with me." Adele smiled so hard that her eyebrows curved up. It seemed that she had won quite a bit.

"Then take a look, who's better to buy in the next match." Alan looked at the screen on the arena.

On the screen were the participants of the next round, including Broy. However, because he had just lost a match, the odds had been slightly adjusted to become 1: 2. As for his opponent, he was also a human gladiator this time. It was a black man. He played as many games as Bloy, but his chances of winning were very high. He was 12-3, so the odds were only 1: 1.5.

Just as Adele was about to give Ellen her opinion, a voice interrupted her, "Bescord boy, do you dare to bet with me?"

The two of them turned around and saw a youth who looked somewhat similar to Leon. He was Leon's second brother, the card artisan. The card artisan crossed his chest and looked at Alan arrogantly. Alan smiled faintly and asked, "What kind of gambling method?"

"Of course it's a life-and-death battle. You and I will bet." The card artisan looked up at the screen and nodded, "Let's take the next duel. How about it?"

Alan cast an inquiring look at Adele, who briefly explained to him the rules of a life-and-death duel.

At this time, there were already many people watching. Alan was a new face, but most of the card artisans knew him. Seeing the William family's young master gambling with an unfamiliar youth, the crowd couldn't help but cast curious gazes at Allen. However, a few people recognized Alan's identity, so more and more people walked towards them.

Leon and Jin Liancheng were originally in front of another arena, and the flow of the crowd attracted their attention. When he learned that the focus of attention was on Alan and the card artisan, Leon snorted and walked in Alan's direction with Jin Liancheng. As he walked, Leon heard the words "gamble" and "life and death battle" coming from the crowd. "This must be Paul's idea. Alan was not familiar with such gambling. The card artisan was planning to take the money to make Alan embarrassed."

Jin Liancheng said calmly, "How much money can you use?"

"11 million."

"Alright, I'll also take out 10 million and transfer it to Allen's account. Even if we lose the bet, we can't let our brother make a fool of himself." Jin Liancheng snapped his fingers and asked a hotel staff member to handle the remittance.

On the other side, Alan heard the rules and nodded, "If you want to bet, I'll accompany you."

The card artisan laughed out loud, "Beth Cod, don't be so straightforward." I don't think you understand all the rules of gambling. Let me kindly remind you that after the two parties agree to the bet, the deposits in their bank accounts must be notarized by the Venus Hotel staff. One of the rules is that if the opponent's deposit fails to pay the winner's odds, he is not eligible to take part in the bet. "

"Let me guess. How much do you have? One million? Or two million?" The card artisan snorted and said, "A poor kid like you, how about three million? I have twenty million in my account, even if it's a one-to-seven chance. But what about you, can you afford to pay? If not, go home and drink milk. This place isn't for poor kids like you. Oh, I forgot you don't have milk anymore, because your mother died a long time ago."

The crowd burst into laughter.

In the distance, Diego stopped a waitress, picked up a glass of wine and raised it in the direction of Paul's room. He smiled coldly and took a sip of the wine glass with his lips. Before he decided to bet with Alan, Diego had sent his money to the card artisan's account in order to smash Alan to death.

His foundation was shallow, which was an unavoidable weakness for Alan. No matter what, in terms of money, he couldn't compare with card artisans. It was precisely because Paul had taken a fancy to this point that Diego and Aaron worked together to humiliate Alan in this regard.

Now, their goal had been achieved. Sure enough, Ellen's expression stiffened when he heard that he had to pay the other party's odds in order to be eligible to participate in the bet. He had placed the wrong bet just now, losing one million yuan. Now, there were only two million yuan in his account, so what was he going to use to compensate the card artisan for twenty million yuan? As for the card artisan's last sentence, it gave him killing intent.

No one could humiliate Lanny, and card artisans were no exception!

But now Alan was in a dilemma.

Adele snorted coldly and said to a staff member beside her, "Transfer my account to Mr. Allen."

Could the staff member be: "Miss, this is against the rules."

Adele stamped her leg in hatred, but she knew that even the ten million dollars she had taken would not meet the requirements of the bet. The card artisan sneered and said, "Poor kid, if you don't have money, get lost. Don't even look at your ident. I.ty. Is this a place you can come to?"

Alan's pupils narrowed slightly and he whispered, "Adele, let's go."

"But "

"It doesn't matter. Let them be proud of themselves this time. Next time, I will take back the money with interest." Alan smiled. He had regained his calm.

But at this time, someone behind the crowd said, "Since Young Master Card Artisan wants to bet, Alan, you can bet with him. I also want to see if Young Master Card Artisan can afford to pay for it."

That was Jin Liancheng's voice!
