Chapter 172 The Tenth Battle (2/2)
With that, he moved forward to fight face-to-face. Boom! The two vague shadows collided violently.
An enormous force struck them both from the collision.
The man was forced to take a few steps back until he was right on the edge of the stage before he regained his balance.
At that moment, his casual attitude disappeared completely. There was no longer any sign of intoxication on his face—he stared at Darren with a puzzled frown.
Though Darren had great power, that didn't scare him at all. What intimidated him was somethi
lanned to keep on fighting. He flew straight to the stands and got ready to sign his name on the life-and-death contract, clearly exonerating the contestant's responsibility in causing another's death as well.
”Darren, this is your reward and the money you won. Five million two hundred and nine thousand ink stones. Here you are!” Excitedly, Jaya gave Darren a purple golden card.
With that, Darren put it in his Space Ring, knowing he could have it changed to ink stones at any time. Or perhaps he could use it the next day? The card circulated both in Prison Battle Arena and the auction house since the two places ran under the same boss.
”Oh, Darren! You're so gorgeous and powerful. I'm Eva, it's wonderful to meet you!” Eva exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
Among all the strong cultivators Eva had met, no one was so powerful at such a young age—Darren was undoubtedly a genius.
With a gentle nod, Darren turned to Harvey, ”Please give me the contract of the tenth battle.”
Harvey's shock was indescribable—the tenth battle? It was unbelievable to think that Darren still had any energy to continue fighting.
The genius he saw yesterday was already the man of the hour… but Darren? He was even wilder and more powerful.
With those two fighting, the battle scene would be spectacular—there must have been a sea of people waiting to buy a ticket. It didn't hurt that the people could bet on two hot geniuses. The tickets and bet commissions alone would add up to at least thirty million.
As if he saw the money fly toward him, Harvey was filled with excitement. ”Darren! Please don't hold back and fight! I promise you'll get your eight million ink stones whether you win or lose.”
'Eight million ink stones?' Darren thought. That exceeded his expectations, indeed.
Apart from that, Harvey was determined to introduce Darren to Grunkle if he won the next battle.
Grunkle was the perfect elder of Heavenly Palace Sect. It was his existence that offered their family the opportunity to build up such a huge business network in Lotus City. Even the Holy Land still honored Grunkle—he was definitely a big deal!
A few moments later, Darren signed the contract and appeared on stage as the audience cheered.
