Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Return the Bet

The arena looked somewhat gruesome at this moment, with a large crater blasted out in the middle.

Keep in mind that in order to withstand the blows of Mutants, these arenas have to be specially made.

The surface is laid with a layer of marble, but beneath that marble is at least thirty centimeters thick of cast steel plate, which in turn is supported by high-strength concrete.

To have created such a large crater on this type of arena indicates just how powerful that last blow was.

As for Farman and Reno, they seemed to still be standing in their original spots.

But the expressions on both their faces were clearly not very good.

Especially Farman, not only was his face pale, but blood also seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Farman, why bother?" Reno spoke after a few seconds.

Reno’s mouth also had traces of blood; he was clearly injured as well.

"I said before, those who dare bully my granddaughter will pay the price," Farman huffed coldly.

Reno was somewhat speechless; this old man Farman was really stubborn.

Your granddaughter wasn’t bullied by me, I thought about taking action, but in the end, I did not! Not only that, but I also got beaten up by Chen Fei.

"But like this, you won’t be able to fight the next match," Reno shook his head and said.

Actually, Farman didn’t need to go to such lengths—if he had just fought a bit, I would naturally have found an opportunity to deliberately lose.

Farman snorted, still planning to fight the next round, you sure have high hopes.

The opponent in the next round would be Edson, barring any surprises.

Even in my prime, I was brutally defeated by Edson.

Moreover, my physical condition has deteriorated over the years, age is a cut every person has to face.

"So you go fight Edson," Farman said and immediately jumped back and off the arena.

His sole purpose for participating in the competition was to beat up Reno.

Now that he had achieved his goal, winning or losing didn’t matter.

Seeing Farman step down from the arena, no one in the audience had any objections, since both men had just engaged in a full-force brawl.

Anyone with eyes could see that both Farman and Reno were injured.

Farman’s injuries might be more severe, but Reno probably wasn’t faring much better, his entire face frighteningly pale, his body even slightly shaking.

In such a state, it didn’t matter who lost or won—neither would be able to fight Edson in the end.

Edson’s strength had been consistently in the world’s top three for years.

Apart from Liuli Hong, no one has heard of Edson being defeated.

Oh right, now we must also add Chen Fei to that list.

Fourth-order Metal Control... damn, indeed no one could withstand that.

Even Liuli Hong might not necessarily be able to say he could beat Chen Fei for certain.

So although many gamblers placed their bets on other Fourth Rank individuals, the amounts were not large; they were either taking a shot in the dark or hedging their risks.

The bulk of the money, naturally, was still bet on Edson.

"Next match, if I really cannot continue, may I forfeit?" On the arena, Reno raised his hand and shouted.

After shouting, he started coughing up blood, and the whole person looked like he was about to collapse.

This time, no one below the arena objected again.

A few seconds later, the broadcast announced, "In view of Mr. Reno’s severe injuries, his forfeiture is permitted. All wagers on Mr. Reno will be refunded by the organizers within seven working days."

Upon hearing the refund of the bets, many in the crowd cheered.

In the booth, Lu Xiao was also somewhat surprised; he had not expected the Superpower Alliance to pull such a move.

The refunding of the bets would indeed win them a lot of public favor.

"If that’s the case, if Edson wins the next match, can we go place a bet?" Chen Fei was already getting impatient.

A smile also appeared on Lu Xiao’s face; if Reno forfeited, it meant that Edson would directly enter the finals as long as he won this match.

"Lu Xiao, what do you think... will Edson lose this match? After all, if he loses, the Superpower Alliance would make a huge profit this time,"

More than half of the total bets were placed on Edson, and it would be most beneficial if Edson were eliminated.

"It’s not impossible," Lu Xiao nodded.

Edson’s opponent this round was Russian K9’s Qiao Liefu.

Qiao Liefu is also very strong, at least half a level higher than Reno and Farman, so if Edson loses, the public pressure might not be that great.

"But the likelihood isn’t that high," Lu Xiao quickly added.

K9 and the Superpower Alliance have always been at odds, and to some extent, they’re in a state of hostility.

If Edson were to lose this match, it would be difficult for the Superpower Alliance to control the finals.

If Qiao Liefu made it to the finals and engaged in some sneaky tactics, the Superpower Alliance could only watch anxiously.
