Chapter 608: Chapter 395: Anti-Sun Alliance_3

It felt like being caught in the act on the spot.

Wayne Malvin wasn’t bothered by it though, he slapped the people next to him, "What’s there to be afraid of? There are so many of us together, we can’t lose to just him, right?"

A little attendant in the arena was holding stacks of betting tickets and shouting out for customers. He happened to be in front of them, "Young masters, would you like to place your next bet to test your insight?"

"Right now, the Five-colored Mantis has the upper hand; it’s a sure win."

In the battle, there was the Five-colored Mantis on one side, and a Red Ringed Worm on the other. The Five-colored Mantis already had the advantage, the Red Ringed Worm was retreating. According to this trend, it wouldn’t be long before the Red Ringed Worm would be utterly defeated.

"I don’t think so." Wayne Malvin sneered, "I was born and raised in the Capital. You guys always play these tricks during the Insect Battle Competition, tricking people into buying the Five-colored Mantis but then the Red Ringed Worm ends up winning and taking our bets."

The little attendant chuckled, "As you wish, you can buy the Red Ringed Worm if you want."

The Heaven’s Chosen from outside the region were all looking at Wayne Malvin. They should indeed follow the locals when placing their bets.

Wayne Malvin took out a handful of Spirit Jade, "Give me 500 Spirit Jade on the Red Ringed Worm." He then reassured the crowd of Heaven’s Chosen behind him, "Just trust me, I’ve been watching the Insect Battle Competition since I was a kid."

Everyone quickly took out their money, "Hehe, then let’s make some pocket money with Master Malvin."

The attendant collected the money and handed out the corresponding betting tickets. Just then, Owen Bertram in the opposite box called out to the little attendant, "Hey, come here, give me 3,000 Spirit Jade on the Five-colored Mantis. It’s such an obvious advantage, and someone’s still blind enough to think the Red Ringed Worm could turn the tide? They’re spoiling their father’s Spirit Jade by tossing it around."

Wayne Malvin was furious and jumped up on the spot. This comment was highly offensive and even dragged his father into it!

"Owen Bertram, what do you mean by that?"

Owen just rolled his eyes, "Can’t you understand such clear words? Is your brain not working, or do I need to explain it to you again?"

Wayne gritted his teeth, "Fine, we’ll see who wins in the end!"

Of course, it was Owen who won. Wayne wasn’t wrong; the Insect Battle Competition could definitely be rigged, but how it was rigged depended on the Fifth Prince’s instructions. Owen said something quietly, then sat back down, and before he finished his cup of tea, the Five-colored Mantis had already won!

A huge uproar erupted in the vast arena, with joyful cheers from the winners and bitter stomps and curses from the losers, who tore their betting tickets into pieces and threw them everywhere.

Wayne Malvin was dumbfounded. It didn’t make sense; the Five-colored Mantis had had a significant advantage, and he had stealthily observed that at least 70% of the people in the arena had bet on the Five-colored Mantis winning. The Insect Battle Competition would surely manipulate the Red Ringed Worm to win and take those people’s bets.

With the bets from the outside gambling house combined, it was an income of hundreds of thousands of Spirit Jade. Since when did the Insect Battle Competition have a change of heart and no longer cared about money?

Of course, Owen knew this very well; the odds set by the house always had their tricks, and they would never lose money in general, just make a little less than usual. Clearly, he was destined to owe the Fifth Prince a favor today.

That didn’t stop Owen from being cocky; he walked over to the window, looked down at Wayne Malvin, and shouted, "See, I told you, with such bright prospects, are you blind to think the Red Ringed Worm could win?"

Wayne Malvin clenched his teeth in hatred, "Just you wait, there are still several rounds to go."

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Are you picking a fight with me and want to bet on every round?"

"Yes!" Wayne Malvin glared, "You’re just lucky to have won one round, and now you don’t even know who you are. If you have the guts, just keep betting against me; whoever backs down is the loser!"

"Hey? The defeated dog is barking so arrogantly, using provocation tactics too; you’re amazing..." Owen Bertram simply sat on the windowsill with one leg swinging, his chin slightly lifted toward Wayne Malvin, "You really make me wonder if I underestimated you. Was that last round you intentionally trying to set me up?"

At that moment, Wayne Malvin was a bit bewildered: Am I... really that cunning?

However, he soon noticed that the other Heaven’s Chosen around him were looking at him with a mix of admiration and curiosity in their eyes. The satisfaction he felt now was entirely different from when the Military Officers in the Central Prison courted him because of his birth father. There was no doubt that the current feeling was much better!

"Hmph..." Wayne Malvin immediately decided to go along with it and not expose him!

"You just tell me if you dare or not, but I’ll kindly remind you that among the friends I’ve grown up with, I’ve never lost in insect betting!"

Owen’s attitude became even more arrogant, "I’m sorry then, since I arrived in the Capital, I’ve never lost in insect betting either! I’ve been longing for a worthy opponent, so I’ll bet with you!"

"Deal!"

Both of them thought they were the fisherman, while the other was the golden-scaled fish!

Only Leroy Baker, who sat quietly next to Catherine, sneakily looked up at Owen in the upper box and thought to himself that Owen’s performance in Adam Tower just now wasn’t as interesting as Owen’s current one.

A few Heaven’s Chosen gathered around Wayne Malvin and whispered, "Master Malvin, are you really sure about this?"

Wayne nodded heavily, "What I’ve said is absolutely true. If you trust me and bet with me, you’ll make a fortune."
