Chapter 1241 A Smart Ass (2/2)

Those who placed their bets on him were delighted to see his real strength. It seemed like they would be amassing great fortune this time.

”I don't believe it!” Suddenly, a voice cut through the palpable excitement in the crowd. It continued, ”I think we're all being fooled here. He and that guy are probably just faking it.”

”Really? Then tell us how they were acting,” someone teased.

”The answer is simple. This man had deliberately asked someone at the upper-level of the Star God Realm to fight him and lose to him. In this way, he'll become famous. After all, is there anyone in this world who could defeat an opponent who is in a realm higher than them? This is why I don't buy it.”

People began to discuss among themselves as soon as the stranger finished talking.

”If you don't believe it, then why not give it a try? Aren't you also at the upper-level o

d Realm.”

”A pity? It is actually a disaster! I've just spent half of my savings betting on him. I'm going to lose money this time.”

Upon seeing the severity of Darren's injuries, everyone who had bet on him was completely disappointed. It was as if they were flung into a cliff.

”What's your point for saying this? Just hurry up and go to the Gambling King to place bets on that old guy. The more we bet on him, the less chances of losing money.”

”In your dreams. This guy, Darren, is doomed to die. Do you honestly think that the Gambling King is this stupid? Will he still let us bet?”

”You're right. He definitely won't let us bet now.”

Of course, Darren was only pretending to be injured. However, he couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart upon hearing the discussion.

Why hadn't he thought of that? What if the Gambling King didn't let anyone bet again?

Now that he was seriously injured, the Gambling King would be collecting all of the bets of those people who placed them on Darren. Why else would he still let people bet on Caleb?

'Crap. I hadn't anticipated that. This might just be a waste of time after all. If Kerr's caught, he'll definitely be killed.' Darren smiled bitterly inside. In the end, he was just another smart ass.

'No, no, no. This should work this time! Even if the wager wouldn't change, as long as the Gambling King knows I'm seriously injured, he wouldn't need to plot against me behind my back. Besides, Caleb would let his guards down knowing that I'm out of commission for now. This would make it easier for me to win this fight, ' Darren thought.
