Chapter 119: Bet! Many Bet against the God of Gambling! (2/2)
”As you command, Your Highness.”
”Elders, please assist them.” Instructor Leonardo respectfully motioned for the four elders to inspect the spatial devices of the students.
”Alright.”
The four elders agreed on doing as he said for various reasons.
Instructor Leonardo grabbed Elliot by his wrist and took him away. ”Come with me.”
After they reached an empty and vacant corner, he let go of his hand.
”Let's talk about how we will be splitting the treasure.”
”Sir, 70-30, okay?” Elliot said while looking at the instructor.
”You sure are filial.” Instructor Leonardo stroked his imaginary beard because he thought that Elliot was agreeing to hand over the Lion's share to him.
”I think you've misunderstood me.” From the pleased expression on the instructor's face, Elliot could tell what was in his mind. Thus, he tried to clarify himself.
”How so?” Thinking that he truly has misunderstood something, he asked to know what it is.
”I get 70, and you get 30. That way, everyone will be happy, sir!”
”Aren't you being a bit too cheap?”
”Come on. I am the one who is going to do all the hard work. Besides, whether you live or die depends on how hard I'm willing to work, sir! If you want me to explore for thirty days straight without a single moment of rest then you must motivate me! Let's go with 90-10, sir!”
Instructor Leonardo was taken aback by his words. This was the first time he saw a person who, if not given an inch, takes an entire person away.
”Have you forgotten all sense of shame?” He said.
”The word called shame isn't a part of my dictionary, sir!” Elliot replied with an honest smile.
”Stinking Brat, take my contribution, self-sacrifice, and the trust I put in you into account. Let's agree on splitting the profit in half.”
”True, your life entirely depends on me. That enough shows how much you trust me, sir!”
”Then?” Instructor Leonardo's eyes brightened.
”No way I am going to agree to that. You only provoked a few ignorant adults into making a bet. I'm the one who's going to be moving his ass, Sir!”
When those words left Elliot's mouth, the shine in his extinguished into nihility like one's fart in the air.
