Chapter 506: Generous Rewards (2/2)

Therefore, no matter how rigid the rule gets, Raven was helpless to deal with it.

'If it weren't for the fact that my intention coincides with sect's, I wouldn't even bother entering this place.' Raven inwardly said with a sigh, 'Whatever, I guess I'll just deal with the problems as they arise. It's not like I can do anything about it for the time being anyway.'

Shrugging, Raven stood up from his seat and exited the room. He glanced at the hallways, opening his ocular technique to see whether some people knew about his private conversation with Henry. After seeing that there's no one around, he sighed and went towards the training room.

As soon as he entered, he cranked up the gravity level to 60, making him almost kneel on the ground due to the heaviness. Raven stumbled for a bit before managing to stand back up, although a little shaken. There were no changes to his facial expression at all.

After turning up the level of gravity, Raven proceeded to expend a lot of hiss energy in order to exhaust himself, all of that in the hopes of getting himself severely exhausted that he'll fall asleep as soon as his body hits the mattress.

- Three days later -

”Alright, alright! Place your bets everyone! Place your bets!”

At some random corner within Tartarus, a relatively discreet building could be found. At first glance it would seem that it leads to a bar where everyone winds up and let go of their mental stress but in reality, there's more to it.

Beyond this door is a massive underground facility with a large arena. The place gave off a shady vibe but this was in fact, officially recognized by the Elders of the sect. Yes, including the betting placements as well.

This is the Battle Arena - a place where muscleheads gather and spend their extra energy while also hoping to earn Merit Points by winning random matches. The shady vibe of the place is intentional to set the mood, nothing more.

Currently, Raven could be find sitting on the audience along with Jason who was wearing a large grin of his face.

It has been three days since Raven and Henry's conversation happened, somethings had happened but nothing worth of notice. In the end, Raven got bored of staying within the base. He still hasn't received any summons from the Cleansers so he had nothing to do in the mean time.

Jason approached him once again and invited him to watch the matches in the Battle Arena. He initially didn't feel like going but he was enticed when Jason said that he managed to earn an easy 10,000 Merit Points while there.

Well, what can Raven say after that? Of course, he had to check it out. He's in dire need of Merit Points since he had a lot of things he needed to accomplish, so when Jason revealed this to him, it would make sense that he wanted a slice on the pie.

”Alright, people hurry up! There's only five minutes until the betting ends and the match to start! Come on, place them bets already! Test your luck and your judgement!” The 'Hypeman' as Jason called him, announced in a loud voice, making the audience to go in a betting frenzy.

Raven's not gonna lie, even he was tempted to bet but he prevented himself from doing so. He told himself that he's just here to test the waters first, there's matches after this so he didn't need to bet for now.

On the contrary, Jason…

”I bet five grand for the Red Corner.”

”Alright, five grand it is. Best wishes, handsome.” The woman who was collecting bets and recording them gave Jason a flirtatious wink while giggling mischievously. Jason bit his lips and smacked her ass while also having a little feel.

”Oh!” The woman moaned in a seductive voice, playfully smacking his hand while saying, ”Mn, you naughty man...”

”Oh, I can be very naughty, Pretty Lady.” Jason winked, ”Wanna have some fun later?”

”If you can afford me then sure.”

”I'll pamper you…”

”Ugh. Why did I come here?” Raven sighed as he felt a large headache with what's happening near him.
