Chapter 76: The top five (1)
The first match to decide the top five started. It was a match between two heirs.
The crowd didn't like either so they were eager to see them beat each other.
There were also some who knew how eccentric the young heir of the Merchant Union could be. Stories about his weird actions were spread out far and wide. Many here hoped to witness him in action.
"Why not name your price so we don't lose time on this?" Erick asked loud and clear, surprising the spectators with his directness.
Hex too was surprised. So far, neither of the twins had seemed remarkable. They didn't mingle with others nor had they done anything to stand out.
But seeing Erick standing in the middle of a fully seated Arena, exuding confidence and calmness, Hex had to reassess the young man.
'He doesn't care about his image nor is he afraid of his opponent. A pragmatic man like him could be troublesome.'
Erick's question put the audience on the edge of their seats. They awaited Sterling's answer. The silver-haired young man was known to be unpredictable in matters concerning coins.
But even with all eyes on Sterling, the heir of the Merchant Union wasn't flustered. A soft smile hung on his lips as his eyes remained on Erick.
"Time is money. By selling the match to you I will indeed kill two birds with one arrow, earning both coins and time," Sterling replied with a laugh.
His relaxed behavior suggested he was open to the deal. Even though Hex had expected such a thing to occur, he still felt annoyed.
