Novel Full Chapter 494 - One Vs Five
Sam and Rana talked for more than an hour and he explained his plan in detail.
It is actually pretty simple and straightforward, but it involves a lot of money and that made Rana Hesitant.
Sam shook his head and place two spatial rings on the table and said.
"This is my whole fortune. I am willing to bet all of this. All you have to do is, make sure that you have the betting data they gave you with you all the time.
As soon as they try to reject anything and the 'customers' come and question you, all you have to do is come out and show the data, throwing them under the bus.
If they still want to have their reputation, they will definitely pay up even before they come and ask you. After all, once the news gets out, there is no chance that they could keep this up and the money would return at the same time, Rana could use this chance to take away some of the influence of his elder brother in the arena.
At least, the betting wing will be completely gone and Rana can get control over it.
Rana finally agreed and he also took out another Spatial ring and added his share too,
Next day.
The betting wing opened early. Sam is not the favorite for betting as they gave one to five odds.
No many people are betting on him, because they knew that the Iron-Level fighters and Bronze level fighters are different and even though, Sam took out all the fighters one by one. They didn't think the result would be the same for five people.
Because, if five members cooperated perfectly, the strength wouldn't be the addition of their individual strengths, rather it would be the product of it.
Not many people are willing to bet on Sam except for some small amounts who wanted to try their luck and strike it rich.
The betting agent is feeling a bit down. He felt that he went a little overboard with the odds and that is why they are not betting on this.
As he was thinking like this, someone came and placed an enormous bet on Sam.
"One hundred million spirit stones on Sam." The one who came seemed to be a regular Naga came and said this and the betting agent was dumbfounded. He immediately took a look at the spiritual stones and was a little hesitant about this.
After all, the amount is a little too much. They would have to pay five hundred million if Sam really won. But his hand is itching to do so.
At this moment, someone else came along with a guard. When the people saw him, they all moved aside as they gave way to him.
That person is none other than Yodha. He placed another spatial ring on Sam's side and said.
"One hundred thousand on Sam."
He didn't even bother looking at the betting age whether he was taking it or not, because that guy has no choice. He would have to take this. There are not many people in the whole city that could reject Yodha.
Much less, when someone is operating something. It is a great thing that Yodha is paying up and doing business like a normal person instead of not snatching it from them.
If the betting agent rejected it now, after publishing the betting odds, he would become a laughing stock.
And it also forced him to accept the bet of the person beside him. The people are watching, he can't reject it.
After that he closed the betting section and sent them to another table where another agent is collecting bets.
He rushed to his manager immediately. His manager is the one who is the direct subordinate of Gnyan. He is the one who embezzles all the betting profits leaving some puny pocket change to Rana.
If not for the fact, that Rana couldn't get concrete evidence and this manager was here far before Rana came in, he would have fired his ass off.
When the betting agent explained the situation to the manager, the latter went into deep thought and finally said.
"Don't worry about it. This could be a jackpot. The five bronze level fighters are randomly selected and I have some people inside the Arena who can help with this. We are going to send earth element users to fight him. That is a bane to his lightning element.
We will make big money this time. Just send the data like every day. We have nothing to worry about."
With that, the betting agent relaxed a bit, but there is still a voice screaming in the corner of his head that there is something wrong with this situation. If they lost, they have to pay one billion after all.
But he didn't think too much and proceeded with the routine. He made the datasheet that has false info and sent it to Rana.
When Rana saw this, he couldn't help but get shocked. Because the two bets of a hundred million each are registered as one million each. He couldn't help but shake with anger when he looked at the numbers.
He calmed himself down and went out to the Arena. It is about time, the match is going to start.
In the Arena, the seats are full and once again the young master came back and this time, they brought some other people along with them. It seemed to be their seniors.
Anyway, Sam doesn't have to wait too long to know.
Soon, the five candidates with gloomy expressions came out and went on to the stage.
They looked at Sam with unending resentment. But Sam didn't even care.
He looked at them and asked.
"Are you guys ready?"
His question only provoked him even more and all of them started circulating their spiritual energy. Two of them are warrior mages and they achieved partial fusion by fusing their skin with earth elemental energy.
As for the remaining three, they are earth elemental mages and two of them are controlling the earth around the stage and the last one did the most surprising this, Sam has seen today.
And that is the last candidate who disappeared all of a sudden with a puff of dust spreading all over.
He almost seemed to have entered the stage.
Sam frowned and just as he was thinking what is happening, he felt like the stage beneath him is not stable and before he knew it, he could feel his legs trapped inside the stage. The stage molded itself to the point it created a stone clamp to bind his feet to the stage.
As he was thinking of breaking it off, the other opponents made their move. The rocks that came from off the stage are already on the way to hit Sam straight on the face.
And the sharp edges of the rocks are quite something.
He could only block first, but he also saw the two warrior mages coming at him a full force to make some damage.
Sam took out the staff and got ready to make a move.
As the large stones neared him, he didn't care about the damage that could happen.
Sam just focused all his strength on his core and swung the staff at the boulders that are coming at him.
His posture is not good at all and there is too much stress on his legs, but he didn't seem to care.
The opponents also didn't care. The stones are mostly a distraction for the two warrior mages.
Sam could easily destroy the boulders, at least that is what they thought, but the next scene made them slack-jawed.
As soon as the staff touched the boulders, they didn't break into pieces like they thought, instead they stayed intact except for a crack.
The boulders were hit back and the aim is actually the two warriors.
When they saw this, they widened their eyes and braced themselves for the defense.
Sam used this time to break through the shackles and became free.
At that moment, he didn't standstill. He started moving like a flash. He activated partial lightning fusion and zoomed past everyone like a flash of lightning.
His silver lightning in contrast with black attire provided a magnificent scene.
Sam's first target was not the warriors, rather they are the mages in the back.
As soon as he came close to them, Sam used a full-blown attack with the lightning spiritual energy fully enveloping the staff.
The first mage was fast enough to react and raised a shield of the earth in front of it, but the wall cracked and turned into pieces before the staff made contact with the chest of the opponent.
It is as if the lightning has really struck him. The opponent flew to the barrier and his whole skin is charred and paralyzed.
It is still spasming and twitching due to the residual electric currents.
Sam then diverted his attention to the second mage.
