After Leo, Elmont, General Luke, and Darvis finished eating, they immediately made their way towards the arena.

Unlike the arena in the Emerald City, the arena in the Smiling Lion Village wasn't really that big. It could fit 100, or at most 200 people. There is a large stage right in the very center where two participants would be fighting against each other made out of white marble reinforced with Magic so as to avoid it from easily breaking. The limit of the cultivation level of participants that can fight in the arena was 5-Star, betting is allowed for the spectators with the Mischievous Lion Guild being the guarantor to avoid anyone from causing any trouble, and of course, they naturally earn a service fee which is five percent from the entire betting poll.

As soon as they entered the arena, an almost fully packed spectator stand appeared in their sight.

Fortunately, they were assigned with a VIP room, so they didn't have to worry about joining the crowd.

”What a huge crowd!” Elmont exclaimed in astonishment. It wasn't really that huge of a crowd compared to the arena in the Emerald City, but considering that this is only a small arena, having it almost full is such a rare sight to see.

”I can't help but really wonder what exactly attracted this crowd of people over here?” General Luke asked in interest.

”Indeed, you can see almost everyone that had come to visit the Smiling Lion Village being attracted here,” Darvis added.

”I think,” Leo paused for a moment as he began remembering what Elvis had mentioned to him before about the arena. He soon continued, ”Elvis once told me before that the most popular fighter in the arena was two of his men, and today's show, if I remember correctly as he had invited me specifically to watch, is their fight against each other,”

”No wonder,” Elmont nodded his head in understanding. Considering Elvis' capability, it is not that strange if the men around him were also really capable. Additionally, with the fight being between his men, this kind of audience is simply something one could expect already.

”It seems like there would be a good show for us to watch soon,” General Luke said, really anticipating about how the fight would unfold.

”Where is the person in-charged of betting?! Heck! I'll go look for him before the fight starts!” Darvis began looking around before quickly running towards the door. But before he could open the door, someone had already opened it.

It was Elvis.

”No need,” Elvis said with a smile, ”I'm the one who created the betting in the arena, so you can just give me your bet,”

”Eh?” Darvis felt dumbfounded as he really didn't expect Elvis to suddenly appear. Of course, he recognized this person, since he was so well-known back then when he was still one of King Elfin the Fourth's men. But, he quickly pulled himself together and with a solemn look on his face, he asked, ”Is the fairness guarantee?”

”Of course,” Elvis nodded his head in assurance, he explained, ”Erson and Ehud are both 5-Star Mage, and each having their own expertise. Aside from that, they don't really like to lose without fighting, none of my men do, so you don't have to worry about any fix fighting,”

”Okay,” Darvis decided to trust Elvis since he has a pretty good reputation with King Elfin the Fourth. He waved his hand, quickly taking out one hundred thousand gold coins from his Storage Ring. In the next second though, he put his hand forward and asked, ”But first, tell me who is much better between the two?”

Shaking his head, Elvis replied, ”That would be really unfair for the other people, and most importantly, I'm also an Executive of the Mischievous Lion Guild, so I won't do something that would decrease our potential profit,”

”Tch,” Darvis can't help but sneer after hearing Elvis' reply. He closed his eyes first as if choosing between Erson and Ehud, before he said, ”I choose Erson!”

”Are you sure?” Elvis asked to confirm.

”Why? Is there something wrong with Erson?” Darvis quickly asked as he started hesitating about his choice.
