Chapter 785: Delayed Meeting (1/2)

After the trio were declared the winners, they were able to go back to the residence. The battle for top 3 is the next day. Many people are excited to watch this. But to their surprise, before coming back to the house, the trio threw a bombshell at them.

They are not going to participate in the next fight. They just distributed the top 3 places among them.

This time Jack had to do the most work inside and he was given the first place, followed Philip and Watt.

When the audience heard this, they went on an uproar. But the judges just couldn't force the match, they agreed with the trio and let them go for now. The rewards would be collected next day.

Sam didn't go back with them. Instead, he went to administration office of the arena where a long queue was already present.

Even though it was long, it was only in a relative sense. Compared to the actual number of people in the arena, these people are not even one percent of them.

They are all here to collect their bet money.

Sam was not surprised by the number of people. There are more people who believed in trio than he expected.

He just stood in the line normally. His face is a bit well-known within the Planet 2, particularly in that capital. But here he is not that big of a deal, nobody recognized and nobody wondered just how big of a bet he placed.

But as soon as his turn came and he gave the token which is the proof of the bet, the hand of the employee who is clearing the bets halted as he looked at Sam with a nervous gaze.

He took the token with shaking hands and checked the information. From the looks of it, he already knew that a large bet is coming and he recognized the bet as soon as he looked at the token.

He whispered something to his colleague who looked at Sam and asked him.

”Sir, Our manager wants to meet you. Will you please come?”

”Sure, after I collect my money.”

”Sir, it is about that money. We need to discuss something.”

”Discuss? Did I place the bet properly?”

”Yes.” The employee is getting nervous, he didn't know why Sam is so stubborn. He could have just followed him and this guy would be the manager's problem. His pay is not enough for him to go through all this.

”Did I win the bet?” Sam continued asking and this gaining too much attention.

”Yes.”

”Then give me my money. We can discuss anything later.”

The Employee looked at the people that are observing the situation. If this goes on the situation will be out of hand. The news will spread all over and they would be in some serious trouble.

The trouble which they cannot afford at the time of elections.

Currently, the arena is under the administration of the faction 1 as the current king is also of that faction. There are many types of matches and tournaments that will be held throughout the year, and the bet money is some decent revenue.

But now Sam's bet is taking the revenue of the past two to three years. That is why the manager wants to work something out. But Sam is just making it worse.

If the manager knew who Sam exactly is and what kind of relationship he has with the faction and the trio, then he wouldn't have even bothered asking Sam. After all, it will be fruitless.

”I placed the bet properly, I won the bet, but you are not paying and asking me to meet the manager, I think there is something fishy going on here. Don't tell me that you are planning on reneging the debt you owe.”

The employee became nervous and said.

”No sir. It is just that the funds are a bit short on hand. We would like you to wait for a while.”

”No problem, I will wait here.”

The employee couldn't do anything and went back into the office to report the situation to the manager. The manager felt something is wrong and sent some people to get information on Sam and when he learned about that, he couldn't help but curse Rajan and his ancestors for the loss. He figured out that there is no use discussing. So, he can only send people to get the funds.

After two hours of waiting, Sam just stood there without doing much. There are some people who had free time on their hands waiting there.

Two hours later the same employee came with a bunch of spatial rings in his hands. there are around ten of them.

Sam grabbed the bunch of them verified each one of them before saying.

”Thanks.”

When Sam was about to leave, the same teenage who he paid last time to give details came running to him and asked.

”Big Bro, do you remember me?”

Sam looked at him and raised an eyebrow before nodding.

”May I know how much did you bet?”

Sam smiled and asked.

”Why?”

”Just curious.”

”Six billion. I gained five times.”

With that Sam left the surprised teen and a bunch of adults who are equally surprised.
