He could choose between 1,000 gold or the chest with an unknown prize inside it

“Alrighty, choose your prize! Gold or treasure chest? What do you choo—”

“Just give hter exploded from the audience

In the history of the arena, it wasn’t the first time the victor requested for both of the prizes But never this blunt

‘I didn’t get to sleep for the first few days, and I al my life to take these pathetic prizes… and to choose only one?’

He could not accept it

Reht Dante was dead, Jin thought that even owning Cos didn’t satisfy his frustration

“I understand that you want to have it all, haha But you see, kid, we have this thing called tradition”

“And I can annihilate that history and tradition today”

Cosmos frowned then nodded

“Yeah, okay, buddy Take it all…”

At that point, Cosmos and the spectators knew that Jin was so let him do as he pleased simply because he didn’t want to mess with him

‘This runt kinda feels like he’s fro next year, I’ll round checks Make sure that there are only lowly runts who I can control’

Seeing Dante’s look of satisfaction, Beradin licked his lips in disappoint too Some souvenir Today was a special day for , Beradin put his two hands forward

‘Do it yourself’

Jin would have responded heartlessly However, since Beradin really did soh to offer hi

Jin wanted to keep the shark bone trophy with his name on it

So only the treasure chest was left

Thinking of a good idea, Jin nodded

“Wait a sec”

Clack!

Jin broke the lock and opened the chest This was the first time he revealed the contents of the box

‘Paper?’

Inside the box was a poorly drawn topographic treasure map with an ‘X’ near the middle

“Oh? There’s ancient texts on there I’ve never seen those characters before Interesting… Give that treasure map to me—”

“No, your souvenir is the box Take it”

“Oh, that’s great too! Thanks!”

‘One guy says that he’ll display the bag of gold on a pedestal, and the other is thankful for soe Are they idiots?’

Jin chuckled As he laughed, the other two began to laugh as well Then, Jin straightened his expression, and the others coughed

“Hey, Dante Hairan Let ”

“Oh, ehem What would you like to know?”

“Why didn’t you use your secret technique? I’o easy”

Dante scratched the back of his head and responded
