743 Ex Head (2/2)
”It looks like some people have recognised one of the members of the Cursed faction as the ex head general of the Second base.”
Of course, the others could hear Bonny's words quite clearly.
'A head general that's gone over to the other side.” Lucy thought, looking at the large ship. 'Well that explains that.'
Another person that was taken back by Paul's reveal was none other than the current head General Duke. Paul used to be his boss, his superior. He would answer to Paul and there was always this slight fear when working for him.
'If Paul is participating in this duel, then there is a good chance the Cursed faction will win this fight.' Duke thought.
There was a reason why Paul was elected as the head general - because of his great power, particularly when using his soul weapon. However, Duke knew that having a head general on one's side wasn't enough to become a big power.
Otherwise the military would have been able to be a lot more commanding with just their eight head generals. In the other factions here today, there should be people who were just as strong as a head general and maybe slightly stronger.
”Oh, will you look at that,” Bonny said excitedly. ”We have just been given an update on the current betting situation and it looks like those now betting on the Cursed faction have better odds. Currently the Daisy faction still has the biggest lead having the most amount of credits put by their name.”
”Of course we do.” Helen interrupted, hearing Bony speak. ”We are so confident that we will be winning this that we have put all of our factions' funds betting on ourselves.”
Daisy had been an ongoing faction for years, just as long as the other big factions, so hearing this was shocking news. They were unlike the Cursed faction who had recently started out. Even if they put all of their funds betting on themselves, it would hardly raise the amount of credits that were put towards Daisy.
Seeing the screen, Bonny gulped at the amount of credits she could see now being spent. The one line from Helen caused even more to bet on their team winning.
In truth, Owen wanted to bet on the Cursed faction, but he knew that news would get out if he did. Before today, others thought it was strange that Owen had praised the Cursed faction so much. There were also questions as to why they didn't try and take over the Cursed faction when they were smaller.
He had to be careful because every action was now being watched, and he didn't want to do harm for himself or Quinn at the moment.
”You can ask all the questions you want later on!” Lucy said, pulling out her thin rapier and stabbing it into the ground.
”Yes, yes.” Oscar said. ”Would the Cursed faction please present the people who will be taking part in this duel.”
Quinn then reached the teams, for team A it would be himself, Nate, and Fex. For team B, Sil, Dennis, and Paul.
Once the team members were revealed, another interruption had taken place, and this time it was from Owen.
”I'm sorry for interrupting, but I don't think you should use him.” Owen said. ”No let me rephrase that, it wouldn't be fair to the others if you used him, this competition would be over before it started.”
They all wondered who Owen could be talking about, was it the young Cursed leader who had displayed great powers at the Pure planet? Or possibly the head general that had turned sides. It turned out he was talking about neither of these two people.
Instead, the person Owen was talking about was Sil.
”I think Mona will agree on me with this one. If he is to participate in the fight, I wouldn't be able to count this as a fair duel, for this boy is a Blade.”
