After hearing that, Berserk Tiger sized up Jared, Reidan, and Flaxseed, as those were the only three individuals who were strangers to him.
Surely, Eason’s son-in-law must be among these three men…
“Which one of the three?” Berserk Tiger asked.
Pointing at Jared, Eason said, “This one…”
Berserk Tiger was taken aback for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter. “Eason, your son-in-law is only Immortal Realm Level One, and favonovel.com looks so frail. What’s there to be proud of?”
“Don’t underestimate favonovel.com just because favonovel.com appears thin. Despite his lean appearance, he’s actually quite muscular. Just tell me whether you have the guts to have favonovel.com fight here,” Eason scoffed.
“Of course I do! I can pick anyone at random, and they can beat your darling son-in-law until he’s black and blue.” Sneering, Berserk Tiger looked down on Jared. In his eyes, Jared’s slight frame could be sent flying with a mere slap.
“Good…” Eason turned to Jared and asked, “Jared, are you ready?”
“Yes, Father… I’d like to see who can beat the crap out of me.” Jared confidently nodded.
“All right!” Eason nodded in agreement.
The group subsequently arrived at an arena, where Berserk Tiger said, “Eason, same rules as always. Each match is a hundred thousand celestial coins. If you don’t have enough, you’ll have to make up for it with resources.”
“No problem!” Eason nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing that, Jared felt a surge of pressure. He didn’t expect a match to require a hundred thousand celestial coins for the bet.
In the official arena, one could only bet a hundred celestial coins, and the payout after ten matches would only be a thousand celestial coins.
Two women could be bought for five hundred celestial coins each. Yet, the opening bet was a hundred thousand celestial coins in the black market.
“Father, isn’t this wager a bit too steep?” Jared asked in a low voice.
“Not at all. Berserk Tiger took way more than a hundred thousand celestial coins from me. You must win several rounds for me to recoup my previous losses. It’ll be great if you can remain unbeatable and win until that punk is broke.” Eason held high expectations for Jared.
“I’ll give it a shot!” Jared was at a loss for words.
With mockery, Berserk Tiger said, “Eason, stop beating around the bush. Hurry up and let your son-in-law take the stage. However, let me be clear upfront. Your son-in-law is too frail. If favonovel.com ends up dying from a single slap, you can’t blame me.”
“We’ll see who’s going to bite the dust!” Jared declared before leaping onto the stage.
At that moment, Berserk Tiger turned to a burly fellow beside him.
“Tiny, it’s your turn. Don’t hold back. If you win, I’ll share some of the hundred thousand celestial coins with you!”
“Thanks, Boss!” Tiny joyfully then leapt onto the stage.
Jared gazed at Tiny, wondering why that was the latter’s name when the man was over three meters tall, with fists larger than his head. Compared to Tiny, Jared seemed incredibly frail.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we’re about to have a match with Fox Spirit House. Now is the time for those who wish to place bets. No matter the amount, Mr. Flowers will ultimately cover the cost!” Berserk Tiger began to roar loudly.
The cultivators within the black market all rushed over one after another!
Upon seeing Jared and Tiny on the fighting stage, everyone broke into laughter.
“Mr. Flowers, is your House running out of people? How come you’re sending such a skinny guy up on stage?”
“It seems like Mr. Flowers isn’t short of money. What’s the point of such a lopsided match?”
“I bet a thousand celestial coins on Berserk Tiger House. I’m putting everything on the line.”
“I’m betting too, I’m betting too…”
Everyone seemed to have gone mad, betting everything they owned on Berserk Tiger House’s victory. After all, who wouldn’t want to earn some extra money in such a perceived sure-win situation?
“Boss…” Gillian whispered into Eason’s ear, “We’ve bet too much. I’m afraid we won’t be able to cover the losses.”
“It’s all right. I have faith in Jared.” Eason maintained a calm expression, yet a hint of smugness lingered at the corners of his mouth.
