Everyone was stunned; they had never imagined that this person could actually win, as it seed utterly impossible to them.
If John's previous victory over Immortal ssenger was considered a fluke, then seeing him now defeat these three made everyone draw a sharp breath in disbelief.
Honestly, they had all but written John off as dead.
A gold-tier awakener taking on nearly three supre-tier awakeners seed like a death wish.
The mont the announcer declared John the winner, there was a stunned silence across the arena.
Then, cheers and jeers erupted simultaneously throughout the amphitheater.
Cheers ca from those who had bet on John, drawn by the high odds against him.
Although John had shown promise before, no one had truly expected him to win against soone of Benjamin's caliber.
It was too outrageous; no one could believe what had just happened, yet it had indeed occurred.
The jeering was aid at the three defeated fighters, cursing them as useless fools, wasting air by rely existing.
"Two supre-tier awakeners, and one who had defeated a supre-tier, now lose to a gold-tier awakener?"
"Is there so conspiracy at the Rose Hotel? Is the hotel deliberately hiding his true capabilities?"
"I demand a rematch; this is absurd, it defies all logic, no one could possibly win this."
"Suggest a thorough investigation into this man, his identity can't be that simple."
"Suggest a thorough check; this is too outrageous, this isn't sothing an ordinary person could achieve."
Everyone was in disbelief at what they were witnessing, but John had indeed accomplished the feat.
Seeing the crowd's heightened emotions, the host smiled warmly and announced,
"At Rose Hotel, we always conduct our affairs with integrity and never deceive our guests or patrons. Therefore, I can assure you that the challenger's strength is genuinely only gold-tier."
"Of course, if anyone still doubts this, you are welco to enter the arena yourselves and test whether he is indeed just gold-tier."
Initially, many were discontented, but upon hearing the host's words, they reluctantly held back their complaints.
It was a joke, after all—who didn't recognize the strength of soone who could defeat such formidable opponents?
If it were them, the outco might not be so certain.
For a mont, many maintained their silence, no longer daring to speak.
They were genuinely fearful of the possibility of having to face him themselves.
The thought alone silenced everyone.
John distinctly felt eyes on him.
He glanced towards the direction of the private boxes, not sure exactly where Francis and his group were, but aware they were watching him.
A slight smile curled the corners of his lips as he chuckled softly before leaving.
After all, so matters were now settled, so there was no need to linger here any longer.
He also had a good idea of what they were probably thinking, so there was no point in wasting ti.
Sooner or later, soone would co looking for him, and if they were reluctant, he wouldn''t mind seeking them out himself.
After leaving the arena, John discovered Silver Tear already waiting for him.
She couldn't help but scream in excitent and imdiately threw her arms around his neck.
"You won, you actually won! Oh my god, you won! I never even imagined you could actually pull it off!" Silver Tear's words were a bit jumbled.
She was completely overwheld, or else she wouldn't have embraced John so impulsively.
Beside her, Dark Fox's face was also filled with joy.
Honestly, both of them had been bracing for the worst.
They had been incredibly anxious, never truly believing that this ti they might actually win.
It had completely exceeded their expectations.
They had recently planned for the worst, considering how to possibly get their captain and John out if things went south.
Even though they knew it would be exceedingly difficult, they were determined to do it.
But to their surprise, everything turned out unexpectedly smooth.
John had truly won, and that final move, using the opponent's force against them, was thrilling beyond their expectations.
Both of their faces were filled with excitent, but John just shook his head slightly at them.
The two instinctively froze, then looked back towards the arena, beginning to understand.
There might still be many things different from what they expected, and recklessly moving forward could lead to unforeseen consequences.
"You go check on the captain first, see how he is doing. If there's no other problem, take care of him. We might have another tough battle ahead," John instructed.
Silver Tear was montarily stunned by his words, not quite grasping his aning.
But Dark Fox was quicker on the uptake, nodding in understanding.
They both guessed that since even the captain had been caught off guard this ti, what lay ahead would likely be more challenging than before.
No matter what, they needed to be on their guard; even if Benjamin and his group were willing to let them go, other powers might not be.
The Immortality Organization, for instance, hadn't yet shown its hand fully.
They couldn't believe that such a large organization would just willingly watch them take their people away.
It was impossible, utterly impossible, which was precisely why John ntioned another tough fight was on the horizon.
John was just about to head back to his room for so rest when he saw Jasminette approaching him with a beaming smile.
"Congratulations, sir, on winning the match. Our master invites you to join him upstairs for a eting."
Silver Tear's smile slowly faded, a look of concern crossing her face as she glanced at John.
But she quickly regained her composure.
If John had anticipated that soone would be seeking him out, he surely had a strategy in mind.
John raised an eyebrow, his expression a mix of amusent and curiosity as he looked at Jasminette.
"So eager to invite over, is there sothing else on your mind?"
Jasminette's smile remained bright and gentle as she softly replied, "Not at all. It's just that our master has so matters to discuss with you, especially regarding the wager you made with the other gentlen. It's ti to settle that bet."
Dark Fox, standing nearby, felt his heart skip a beat upon hearing this.
They were all aware of the bet John had made, but there was also so underlying concern.
After all, if the two other n chose to deny the wager, what would they do?
However, with the intervention of the Rose Hotel's owner, things might take a different turn.
Even if they might not respect John enough, they would have to show respect to the hotel owner.
In this realm, everyone was a big player, and who could truly claim superiority?
It was all just a matter of social niceties and wouldn't likely escalate into anything too severe.
Dark Fox had his thoughts, and John had his own as well.
However, John's reflections were more straightforward, rely nodding slightly in response.
He had long suspected that the owner of the Rose Hotel would inevitably call him over.
Therefore, no matter what, he had to play his part perfectly in what ca next to avoid any real trouble down the line.
As she watched his calm departure, Silver Tear suddenly bit her lower lip.
"It seems like there's nothing we can do to help."
