Chapter 72: Blood Lotus
Chapter 72 — Blood Lotus
"WOOOOOOOAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
The whole space trembled as the spectators shouted with all their might. Some were standing, their hands raised high in the sky, yelling as if their lives depended on it, others were more demure, just giving light encouragement, and then there were the troublemakers who couldn’t help but pick fights with each other.
It was a very lively scene—and all of this just because two young masters from two illustrious families, one from Fokay and the other from Darklore, wanted to fight?
Maybe for some, it was just that. But for most of them...
"Man, I swear young master Kenan better win. I bet all the money I just got from my mother to pay for combat class."
"Same, dude. I scammed a woman for this. Kenan has to win."
"Nah, did you not know the Warborns? They’re devils in battle, man. I bet all my savings on the little Warborn," one of them said.
And the banter, the skirmishes, the excited trash-talk continued. All of them fired up—because if their guy won, they were about to get rich.
"Did you really need to do all this?" Kaden asked as he looked around the small arena they were in.
This was a private arena situated inside the Tycoon’s Merchants building. A place the merchants sometimes used to organize fights between challengers, with artifacts as prizes—just to entertain themselves and relax a little.
