When the referee dropped on the ground with foams popping out of his mouth, the spectators were shocked in disbelief.
"What happened to the referee?"
"Did he go into a shock or sothing?"
The spectator all uttered in confusion as the referee was supposed to be the one uninjured and judging the match between the other two participants.
However, the two participants were still standing and none of them had ever made a move against the referee so everyone couldn't understand what happened.
The commotion beca bigger as the referee seed to be unconscious and none of the spectators knew whether or not he was still alive.
"Look at everyone's confused expression, especially that person in the top that is turning pale," Zen chuckled softly as he pointed at one of the workers in the Gambling Aristocrat.
Krista Dragoon tilted her head slightly to glance at the person and was shocked to see it was her that was overseeing this Gambling Aristocrat.
"W-When did she beco a manager in this place?" Krista Dragoon stuttered as she never imagined seeing her here.
"Heh, are you surprised to see her here as well? Honestly, I don't even know what's her identity now when she was supposed to be a receptionist for the Scarlet family before that incident of teleportation,"
Zen smirked as he deactivated the illusion barrier around them and waved his hand at her.
"Nice to see you again, Juliet," Zen shouted when he saw her looking at him.
Juliet was the woman that Zen saw in the Scarlet family auction house and she was the one who intervened to stop him and Daemon Kaiso from going into a fight.
In addition, she was a mysterious woman that seemingly disappeared during the teleportation incident and Zen had thought she would still be stuck in the forest where many nobles are still fighting for their lives to escape.
'This Juliet is not a simple woman since even Evie wanted to recruit her previously,' Zen exclaid inwardly as he watched Juliet walk down the stairs.
Juliet walked over to Zen and smiled slightly at him, "I never expected you to be the kind to enjoy this kind of environnt."
Afterward, she sneaked a glance at Krista Dragoon and bowed slightly to give her so respect as the princess.
"Not to ntion bringing a princess with you along in this place," Juliet added.
"Well, I never expected you to work at the Gambling Aristocrat either. I was wondering where you went after showing the way inside to the Scarlet family auction house," Zen smiles cheekily as he asks her.
The atmosphere might seem lively as they both chat and laugh at the sa ti but Krista Dragoon can tell that both were being suspicious and cautious of each other.
Krista Dragoon was even more cautious as she got her guards up.
'Just how did Juliet escape the massive teleportation to the labyrinth?' Krista Dragoon pondered inwardly but she kept her usual deanor on the surface in case she alerted Juliet.
Juliet sat down next to Zen as she asked, "Well, things happened and I was ordered to leave the Scarlet family auction house briefly. Luckily, it was great timing as I managed to avoid such a crisis."
Zen smiled and nodded his head in understanding. However, in his mind, he sneered inwardly since this information was supposedly blocked from all other people yet Juliet seed to know exactly what happened.
'This is why I love smart people. Always acting arrogantly and revealing more information than needed,'
Zen continued to chat with Juliet without any crucial information as they were rely testing each other.
At the sa ti, soone had already gone on to the arena and got the referee out as they had so healing mage to cure him.
Although the spectators were angry that the fight must be restarted because of the referee, they were promised to have their bet returned by 10% if they wished to.
Thus, many decided to get the 10% bonus in return as they no longer have any interest or mood to bet except for one person.
"Hey, I don't give a fuck if your referee has so kind of illness but I betted a billion spirit stones on Lones," Zen who was chatting with Juliet suddenly stood up and yelled loudly at the person doing the announcent about having the fight restarted.
anwhile, the spectator glanced at Zen in disbelief as they never expected Zen to be betting a billion spirit stones.
"Who is that person?" One person in the crowd shouted as he wanted to know who Zen was.
After all, anyone that can bet 1 billion spirit stones without batting an eyelid must be from so wealthy family and he could possibly be the guarantee heir since he dared to risk that many spirit stones.
"Wait, I rember him and his facial appearance," Another person from the crowd suddenly shouted as he started explaining Zen's origin.
"He's the infamous person that entered the Jade Kingdom and made a huge commotion by crippling Jared Kaiso with his fate still unknown. However, everyone can pretty much guess that Jared Kaiso is most likely."
The crowd beca horrified at the ntion of Zen as they knew about his ruthless thod of dealing with people that annoyed him.
However, the commotion continued to increase when a noble finally paid attention to Krista Dragoon and realized it was their princess in the Jade Kingdom.
"Isn't that Princess Krista Dragoon? How co she's here in the Gambling Aristocrat?" A person shouted in excitent as he tried to stare at Krista Dragoon.
But it was the worst decision he ever made in his life because a fla suddenly blasted at his face, lting most of his face down as he dropped to the ground, screaming in agony.
"AHHHHHHHHH save ," The person scread as he could feel his face skin tearing off of him.
It was only until now that the others realized what just happened to him as they quickly cast so water magic to cool off the fla and started using healing magic on him.
Alas, the damage has already been done as his face beca extrely unsightly and terrifying for others to even want to look at him.
"Holy shit, Marlon can no longer marry a beautiful woman with that appearance." The person who was helping him couldn't help but say his truthful words accidentally to his friend.
Marlon who heard his word touched his face but all he could feel was so of his skulls as he clenched his fist tightly in anger.
If it weren't for him being a mage and quick treatnt from his friends, then that strike would most likely take his life without any chance of survival.
"WHO THE HELL SNEAK ATTACK !" Marlon roared in rage as his mana beca unstable.
His facial appearance has been ruined and he doesn't even know who the attacker is and why would they even attack him in the first place.
They were in the Gambling Aristocrat where every custor here is a noble and only an idiot or a fool would dare to make an enemy with soone in here.
Of course, it no longer takes a genius to guess the culprit when they rember who was also there with them.
It was none other than the infamous Zen, whose notorious deed is well-known for everyone.
As everyone ca to this conclusion, they all tilted their head to glared at Zen angrily since provoking one of them ans provoking everyone of them.
anwhile, Zen calmly smiled at everyone and said, "Apologies, but that stupid whatever Marlon was annoying the heck out of . I ca here to do so betting and earn so easy money but all he does is yap his foul mouth."
Zen was already being generous enough to allow them to heal Marlon since he didn't want to make Krista Dragoon angrier as he could feel her glaring at him for attacking Marlon.
But who could he bla?
That Marlon has the nerve to expose Krista Dragoon when not many nobles here noticed her and the fact that he still has the guts to try and leer at Krista Dragoon was a death sentence.
"Do you even know who Marlon is and who his father is?" Marlon's friend could not help himself but roar in anger.
He has been friends with Marlon ever since childhood and they were always as close as brothers so to see Marlon being injured to this degree was sothing he would not accept and let the culprit go.
Zen calmly looked at this seemingly above-average man with a bit of confused expression.
"Why are you staying silent now huh? You have to pay with your life for ssing with us nobles. We are different from Jared Kaiso who is straight trash without any power." Marlon's friend shouted again when he saw Zen being in a daze.
Zen chuckled softly as he rubbed his chin slightly before answering him, "And who are you again?"
