I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Has this guy already chosen to join a mercenary group?"

Anno glanced at the two people next to Rhodes, his brows furrowing slightly.

"The uniform has three bloodstain patterns; it looks like he's joined the Bloodstain Mercenary Group!"

As Anno walked onto the stage, he explained the information about the two Bloodstained Mercenary Group members to Xue Feibai.

These two professionals are a level 5 apprentice warrior and a level 5 apprentice mage.

The apprentice warrior's skill is [Basic Swordsmanship], while the apprentice mage's is [Arcane Orb].

Arcane Orb is a basic skill for apprentice mages.

After chanting the incantation, a magic orb will condense at the tip of the magic wand.

The magic orb can attack targets within a ten-meter radius in a straight line, and will explode upon contact with the target.

The power of the explosion was enough to seriously injure an unprotected professional!

After hearing Anuo's story, Xue Feibai and Lu Zhishang both looked unpleasant.

Both of them are level 0, and with their combat instincts and talents, their strength is at most equivalent to that of level 2 or 3 professionals.

They are no match for a level 5 professional.

The audience outside the stadium also noticed the comparison of the two sides' strengths.

"Although Rhode hasn't become a professional yet, I recognize the two professionals beside him; they're both level 5!"

"Since that God-forsaken one dared to make a bet with Rhodes, the two people with him must be of a high level, right?"

"Those two? I heard they weren't professionals just three days ago!"

"What? Not a professional? Then how can the Forsaken of God fight two level 5 professionals?"

"Who knows? I just came to watch because I heard that Hawkeye Mark was going to be a witness to this game."

"I have inside information that the Viscount seems to be quite interested in this match!"

"Impossible! Shouldn't the Viscount be busy preparing to defend against the monsters right now? How could he possibly be paying attention to this farce?"

"Hey, you still don't believe me? See that person sitting over there? That's the Viscount's butler!"

"It really is! I heard that Rhodes has superior hunter talent. Is the Viscount planning to recruit Rhodes?"

"If that's the case, then Viscount, you're a step too late. Since the Bloodstained Mercenary Group sent two professionals to help Rhode, they must have already recruited him."

"Stop talking, Mark's here. The fight's probably about to start!"

"..."

When a hunter appeared on the dueling platform, the murmurs in the audience gradually subsided.

All eyes were focused on the fighting platform below.

Mark walked slowly to the center of the fighting arena and glanced at both sides.

Mark wasn't surprised at all when he saw the two level 5 professionals next to Rhodes.

As a hunter, his ability to gather intelligence is naturally not weak.

He learned two days ago that Rhodes had joined the Bloodstained Mercenary Group.

This made him feel regretful, and he also worried about Anno.

Those abandoned by the gods cannot become professionals, and naturally, they will not have the opportunity to become stronger.

If Anno wants to win, he must find two powerful allies.

But those who stepped onto the fighting stage today were the same familiar faces we saw the day before yesterday.

These two seem to have just received their warrior's badges yesterday.

In this way, Anno's strength is no match for Rhodes.

"It seems I overestimated Anno."

Mark shook his head, somewhat disappointed in Anno.

"After the competition, I should discuss this with Wang Zixuan. It would be such a waste if her exceptional talent were wasted because of the 'Forsaken by God'!"

Mark was particularly interested in the match between Anno and Rod because he had met Anno once before, and they seemed to have a connection.

Secondly, he learned from his hunter mentor Walton that there was a woman with exceptional hunter talent, and this woman was one of Anno's acquaintances.

Artemis, that's a top-tier talent!

Mark himself is only of average talent.

As long as he doesn't take any wrong turns, his exceptional talent will lead to immeasurable achievements in the future, and he will surely become a dazzling new star in the kingdom.

Mark did not join any faction; his only goal was to hunt monsters.

But it is precisely because of this that he can see through the current situation in the city of Walkam.

In Mark's eyes, it would be a waste if Wang Zixuan ended up joining a mercenary group that only cared about profit.

Mark initially had a fairly good impression of Anno.

However, Anno's status as a forsaken one destined him to have no great achievements in the future.

The fight right before our eyes is the best proof of that.

There was no way Anno and his two companions could win against two level 5 opponents.

However, Mark didn't expect that he would see many familiar faces in this game, besides himself.

"Scott is here too. Is the Viscount also interested in this contest?"

Mark was puzzled when he saw the Viscount's butler in the audience.

Moreover, besides Scott, Mark also saw six mentor-level figures hidden in the crowd, including Walton—mentors for every profession!

In the city of Val'kam, there was something that could alarm six professional mentors at the same time?

Mark didn't think their simultaneous appearance was due to the fight.

"That's strange!"

Mark lowered his head and pondered for a while, but still couldn't figure out the reason.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Mark stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, he was a loner and didn't care about the various battles in the city.

"Now that both sides are present, let's begin the duel we agreed upon three days ago!"

After Mark gave an opening remark, he gestured for Anno and Rod to lead their men forward.

"Rhodes, are the two people next to you the participants in this competition?"

"That's right!" Rhodes said confidently, "Level 5 Apprentice Warrior Pete and Level 5 Apprentice Mage Paul!"

He knew he was no match for Xue Feibai, so when they made the bet, it was a 3v3, a battle between apprentice professionals.

Even though he hadn't become a professional yet, his superior talent made it easy for him to become a prospective mercenary for the Bloodstain Mercenary Group.

For this betting match, Captain Sharp specially dispatched two Level 5 trainee professionals to assist him.

Xue Feibai and Lu Zhishang were left to be dealt with by Pete and Lu Zhishang.

Rhodes versus Anno, the Forsaken of the God of War.

Once the battle begins, he will trample Anno underfoot in front of everyone, in front of the woman who fascinates him.

"Your name is Anuo, right? If you kneel down now and beg me to let you go, I might consider showing you some leniency during the fight!"

Rhodes whispered to Anno in front of him, "So, how about it? Want to think about it?"

Upon hearing Rhodes's request, the two professionals beside him burst into laughter.

Anno looked at Rhodes expressionlessly and said calmly, "Is the one gold coin wager ready?"

The laughter of Rhodes and his two companions faltered.

"snort!"

Rhodes pulled a gold coin from his pocket and handed it to Mark, angrily saying, "You forsaken one, you've lost your last chance to beg for mercy!"

Anno replied in his usual calm tone, "It's too early to talk about the outcome!"

He tossed the gold coin into the air, and it landed in Mark's hand.

Mark accepted the bet from both sides, wondering why Anno was so calm!

"Could it be that I've misjudged again?"

A strange glint flashed in Mark's eyes.

He was about to ask Anno about the team composition when he was suddenly interrupted by a familiar voice!

"Wait a minute, Anno's two teammates are here!"

Walton led two level 5 apprentice hunters onto the dueling platform, and his first words shocked everyone!
