Juliet smiled bitterly at Zen's remark that pushed all the blas to the nobles for the chaos.
'This Zen sigh, I shouldn't have appeared today,' Juliet sighed inwardly as she now had to handle him otherwise, she feared that the entire Gambling Aristocrat would be ruined by Zen single-handedly.
"Don't look at like that Juliet otherwise, I might think that you are interested in ," Zen said teasingly as he sat back down in the chair.
Juliet was rendered speechless by the shaless display of Zen as she decided to sit down as well.
There was no advantage in arguing with him further and if she did, it would only result in more troubles for her to deal with.
anwhile, Krista Dragoon glanced around to see the empty chairs and the two participants that were still standing in the arena.
"What's going to happen to Zen's betting now?" Krista Dragoon sat down as she asked Juliet.
Although she had heard Zen's teasing, she wasn't a fool to believe he was serious and would rather focus on the main objective.
Since Zen had betted 3 billion spirit stones on three participants then she would want to know what's going to happen now that there are zero custors left.
Juliet was rendered speechless once again and this ti, she held a gawking expression at Krista Dragoon.
She could understand Zen acting shalessly because it has been his personality since the beginning.
However, Krista Dragoon was a dignified princess in the Jade Kingdom and has always acted gracefully unlike now, where she would ask sothing embarrassing like where the money would go.
'Zen is really a dangerous person. His shaless behavior is extrely infectious where even a princess can not escape,' Juliet exclaid inwardly as she took a deep breath to calm down.
Afterward, she stared at Krista Dragoon before saying, "The arena will continue whether or not there are custors. After all, one custor betting is still business and it's not like we are short of the death-row participant."
Each day the Gambling Aristocrat received at least 20 people that are on death row, waiting to be executed and it wasn't a big deal if all 20 died on the sa day or not.
That was the life for prisoners that didn't have any background nor influence as they could only be a fish on the chopping board.
Thus, Krista Dragoon felt nothing when Juliet ntioned that the life and death battle would continue as usual.
"Since the match will continue as usual then let's not waste any ti and make those two participants battle already," Krista Dragoon then said.
Juliet nodded her head as she waved her hand to signal the new referee to begin the match.
The referee saw Juliet's signal as he shouted, "The match shall resu now, and rember, only one of you is allowed to leave this arena alive while the other one shall be dead without a burial."
Lones and Polsa glared at each other before charging forward with their full strength.
None of them wanted to be the one dying so they gave their maximum effort to survive.
The fight continued for another 10 minutes where Zen kept yawning as he knew the referee wouldn't do sothing stupid like sabotaging the match.
After all, the referee has witnessed his ruthless and brutal thod already so he would be an idiot to try sothing funny in front of Zen.
Not to ntion, Zen was pretty sure Juliet had sent a ntal transmission to warn the referee to not try sothing funny.
Thus, without the fight being rigged at all, it wasn't a surprise to see Lones becoming the final victor as he directly smashed Polsa's head into mush.
"YESSSSSSSS," Lones roared in excitent when he killed Polsa as he raised his hand in victory.
Although the scene was bloody and ssy, none of the people here bat an eyelid, almost like it was sothing common or nothing special.
The referee still did his duty despite knowing Polsa was dead as he walked over to check the body.
Once the referee determined that Polsa had no sign of being alive, he shouted, "The victor of this match is Lones. Congratulation to all the betters that have betted for Lones and unfortunately for the custors who have bet for Polsa."
The area currently only has Zen as the only better but the referee still has to shout the entire sentence and he was embarrassed since he knew everyone was probably laughing at him.
anwhile, Zen clapped his hand as he laughed loudly.
"Haha, good job Lones, you just helped win an astronomical amount of billion spirit stones but unfortunately, you are most likely going to be killed by the Gambling Aristocrat later on the day for causing them to lose a lot of money," Zen comnted as he kindly reminds Lones of his fate.
He may have won the life and death battle but at the sa ti, he has offended the Gambling Aristocrat completely by winning and allowing Zen to walk away with so many of their spirit stones.
"You didn't have to shatter his hope like that completely." Krista Dragoon said and continued, "You could have let him enjoy his few monts of life before dying."
Krista Dragoon's words seed to be heartless but she hasn't forgotten about Lones and his notorious deed that made him a death-row prisoner, to begin with.
anwhile, Juliet smiled bitterly as she calculated the amount of loss they will receive today.
'Ugh, not even the losing spirit stones from those nobles are enough to cover the loss we obtained today,' Juliet cursed inwardly as she begged the other two participants that Zen placed his bet would lose.
Alas, it was a pipe dream for that to happen when the two participants that Zen chose were recomnded by Cecilia.
Cecilia may only be a projection currently but that did not restrict her ability to check on people's potential in any other way so her prediction was 99% correct.
Hence, the final two participants also went on to do the life and death battle and without any surprises, Zen won all the bets he placed.
From betting 3 billion spirit stones, Zen's winning amount tripled that to a shocking price of at least 9 billion spirit stones.
"Haha, who would have thought the Gambling Aristocrat is a charity place instead. It's so much easier to earn spirit stones than going to so adventure guild and doing so tireso mission." Zen laughed heartily as he leaned his head on Krista Dragoon's shoulder.
Afterward, Zen started flirting around with Krista Dragoon, ignoring Juliet who held a darkened expression at this outco.
Juliet clenched her fist in anger as she sent a ntal transmission to the referee.
"Have those three participants kill tonight and make sure they die in a painful way. Also, make sure to double-check if they have a lover or so offspring."
The referee nodded his head, "I shall comply with Lady Juliet's request right away."
He wasn't going to delay his task as he could tell Juliet is extrely angry and wished to kill soone already.
Zen saw Juliet's expression as he laughed inwardly. 'Woman, for trapping in that labyrinth, this is rely a small price to pay. If you were a man then things would have been different so you should be thankful.'
Zen was sure that Juliet was related to the labyrinth incident so he wasn't going to let her off as he wanted to capture her to gather information about the mastermind.
"Juliet, when can I receive my 9 billion spirit stones?" Zen asked Juliet shortly after the referee left the area.
Juliet smiled awkwardly as she said, "You couldn't wait a bit to receive the spirit stones?"
As much as she wanted to pay the spirit stones right away to get rid of Zen, she knew the Gambling Aristocrat does not have that many spirit stones at the mont.
"Nope, I can't wait any longer to receive my lovely spirit stones. After all, I won it fair and square." Zen shook his head as he refused to let Juliet off easily.
Juliet knew he was making things difficult for her as she tried to sneak a glance at Krista Dragoon, hoping that she would be reasonable to talk so senses into Zen.
Krista Dragoon saw her eyesight and rely smiled.
"Zen, I have so other business to do so you can negotiate the terms with Juliet as I shall head out now." Krista Dragoon ignored Juliet's eyesight as she told Zen that she needed to go sowhere.
Juliet twitched her mouth slightly when she saw Krista Dragoon left the area swiftly, leaving her alone to deal with Zen.
"Hehe, you can give up on trying to get Krista to help you out," Zen chuckled softly.
Afterward, he leaned closer to Juliet and whispered softly, "You can either pay the 9 billion spirit stones right now or you can tell sothing I want to know and I shall be generous enough to let you get so ti to gather the spirit stones."
