I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.
Chapter 38 Gambling Battle
Rod became more and more excited as he spoke, and even spit out his saliva.
There were many professionals among the surrounding crowd.
After hearing Rod's words, although he didn't speak, his gaze towards Anno and the others was full of disdain.
Judging from the fluctuations in their auras, none of Anno's group were professionals.
The weapons and shields he was equipped with were probably just for show; his combat ability was nowhere near that of a professional.
Being a forsaken one may not be Anno's fault.
But arrogance and conceit are not endearing.
Which professional doesn't earn their professional mark through arduous training?
If spiritual practice is as simple as they say, then what is the point of everyone's efforts?
"A bunch of greenhorns, probably haven't experienced much hardship, trying to be clever!"
"Exactly! Becoming a trainee professional in three days? Anyone who didn't know better would think you had some kind of extraordinary talent!"
"A attention-seeker like that, even if he becomes a professional... how can someone rejected by God become a professional?"
"Hahaha......"
Misled by Rhodes, the onlookers unconsciously took sides against Anno and his group.
"you......"
Xue Feibai's temper flared instantly, and he was about to go up and teach Rod a lesson, but Anno stopped him.
Anno stared calmly at Rhodes, finally speaking, "I'm curious, why are you going against us?"
This was only the second time they had met Rhodes.
But he has already caused trouble for Anno twice in a row.
This puzzled Anno.
He suspected that Luo De was doing it for Wang Zixuan.
But Rhodes is a person with top-notch professional talent, would he do something so stupid?
As it turns out, some people are indeed that stupid.
Rhodes glanced at the group of women hiding behind Anno, wearing wide-brimmed hats, and stammered, "As a forsaken one of God, you've managed to win over so many people. You must have used sweet words to deceive them."
"Now, I, Rhodes, a hunter with superior talent, command you to liberate the women around you!"
After saying that, Rhodes revealed what he thought was a very handsome smile and said softly to the women behind Anno, "Don't be afraid, everyone. I know that it was the Forsaken of God who coerced you. Don't be afraid, I and everyone else will stand up for you."
"Are you sick in the head?!"
Lu Yan and the other women were truly speechless at Luo De.
It's unbelievable that someone is narcissistic to this extent.
"Who do you think you are? Standing up for us? We're family!" Meng Xin took the opportunity to walk up to Anuo and hug Anuo's arm.
"Exactly!"
Ning Wen and Wang Zixuan chimed in from the side.
Those around them, having just heard Rhodes' words, assumed that the women behind Anno were being coerced and were preparing to seek justice for them.
Hearing the women's words, the onlookers turned their questioning gazes to Rhodes.
The arrogant Rhodes never expected the women to answer like that; he thought they didn't believe in his abilities.
After all, he was defeated by Xue Feibai in one move.
"Don't worry, I know the three of them are very good at fighting, but that's only because I haven't become a professional yet."
There are so many people around you who are standing up for you, including many professionals.
As long as you say that this God-forsaken one has coerced you, we will stand up for you!
Quickly declare that the Forsaken Ones of God have coerced you!
"Speak up!"
Luo De's tone was somewhat hurried; he desperately wanted someone to say that he had been coerced by Anno.
This way, he could legitimately incite the onlookers to attack Anno, then rescue the women and become their savior.
With his superior talent, he will be able to secure a place in Val'kam in just a few years.
Then I can live happily ever after with all those beautiful women.
But in response, Anno tossed him a copper coin.
The copper coin arced through the air before landing on the stone floor in front of Rhodes, and rolled to his feet.
Then, Anno's voice reached his ears.
"If you're mentally ill, you need treatment! If you can't afford it, I can give you a copper coin! Don't be shy!"
After saying that, Anno turned around and prepared to leave.
The onlookers looked at Rod strangely.
This person kept saying that the Forsaken One had deceived women, but those women actually hated Rhodes' appearance.
Therefore, what Rod said earlier is now open to debate.
Rod stared at the copper coins at his feet, his face turning pale and then red.
He raised his head and glared at Anno, roaring, "You lowly forsaken one of God, how dare you insult me! I, Rhodes, issue you a challenge to battle! Do you dare to accept?"
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing Rhodes curse Anno, Xue Feibai turned around, walked up to Rhodes, glared at him, and roared, "Are you tired of living?"
"What do you want to do?"
Luo De was intimidated by Xue Feibai's imposing manner. He recalled the scene of being knocked down in one move and unconsciously swallowed.
Oh no! He forgot that although the Forsaken's companions weren't professionals, they were still someone he couldn't beat in his current state!
With a quick thought, Rod came up with an idea.
"What? Scared?"
"Hey, I have such a bad temper!"
Xue Feibai rolled up his sleeves, ready to give Luo De a beating.
"Fighting is forbidden within the city. If you hit me, the guards will arrest you!"
As Rhodes fled in a disheveled state, he shouted, "There are arenas in the city for people to spar with each other."
If you're not afraid, we can have a three-on-three match on the dueling platform in three days!
Didn't you say that you could become a trainee professional in just three days?
You have three days!
Three days later, I will bring two trainee professionals to fight you.
If you lose, I demand that you release those women!
And apologize to all professionals.
Professionals are not to be insulted by someone as despised as you!
Do you dare?
Anno's gaze towards Rhodes flashed with disgust. He strode forward under the watchful eyes of the crowd, his voice low and menacing. "Listen," he said, "I won't gamble with my people! If I hear you speak disrespectfully to those around me again, you will pay the price!"
Gum!
When Rhodes saw Anno's predatory gaze, he felt as if he were being stared at by a ferocious monster, and for a moment he was too frightened to speak.
Anno looked around and said loudly, "I know about the dueling arena. You can bet if you want. To be honest, I'd also like to see just how strong you really are."
The problem is that both sides need to offer an equal stake!
Rhodes didn't understand why Anno, an ordinary person, exuded such a strong sense of pressure, but he was now in a difficult position and could only bite the bullet and ask, "What...what do you want to bet?"
"Alright, let's wager one gold coin! Whoever loses has to pay the other one gold coin!"
One gold coin is not a small amount.
Rhodes was just an ordinary person in Valcam City before, with only 50 silver coins on his person.
But the thought that Anno was a forsaken one made Rhodes somewhat tempted.
"The two people beside him are very skilled, but they don't have professional badges. An ordinary person definitely couldn't beat the apprentice professionals I hired!"
After thinking for a moment, Rhodes nodded in agreement, "Okay, it's a deal!"
"A bet naturally needs a witness, so how about I, the hunter Mark Jason, act as the referee three days from now?"
A man in his thirties stepped out from the crowd and said to everyone with a smile.
"It's him, Hawkeye Mark!"
"This is a level 10 hunter! I've heard that at least a dozen level 10 monsters have died from his arrows!"
"This is a renowned hunter from Valcalm City, and he actually wants to be a witness to this farce?"
"Interesting, it seems the Forsaken Ones are a bit special!"
While everyone was discussing it, Rhodes was also stunned.
He never expected that his bet would attract the attention of "Hawkeye" hunter Mark.
"What, do you have a problem with that?"
Mark looked at Rod and asked.
"No...no objection!" Rhodes thought bitterly.
I was thinking of giving up on raising the money.
He's bound to win anyway.
Now that Mark is acting as a witness, he'll definitely need to pool his bets during the game.
Mark then turned to Anno, smiling, and asked, "What about you guys?"
Anno had no idea that Mark was famous in Walkam.
He saw the friendliness in Mark's smile and did not refuse.
"I'm fine!"
"Alright!" Mark raised his hands and said to the crowd, "Three days from now, we'll have a three-on-three match on the arena."
On one side were Mr. Rhodes, who had just been diagnosed with superior hunter talent today, and the two apprentice professionals he had invited.
On the other side are Mr. Anno, the Forsaken of God, and his two ordinary companions!
The stake is 1 gold coin!
The gap in strength between the two sides is enormous.
Will Mr. Rod win easily, or will Mr. Anno surprise us?
Let's look forward to the battle in three days!
We hope that both sides will arrive at the dueling arena on time with their bets.
Those who fail to appear will be considered to have forfeited, and I, as a witness, will collect the bet on behalf of the winner. Never underestimate a hunter's tracking ability!
