Lucy watched as Jessica left the room. She stood there stupefied for a while before saying, “I have a feeling…”
“What feeling?” Hayley asked curiously.
“That guy, Fierce Dragon, is going to be so unlucky,” Lucy’s eyes shone brightly, “Lady Jessica looks so valiant and spirited today as if she’s a goddess of war.”
Hayley was shocked, and favonovel.com recalled the scene when Jessica just left. Then, favonovel.com murmured, “You’re right… Well, may luck be on the guy’s side then.”
At that time, Caspian still followed the middle-aged man in confusion as they walked through many corridors in the St. Jade Chamber. Soon, they arrived at a thick wooden door.
“I’m here to buy…” Caspian thought that it was time to inform the man of his purpose here. However, just as favonovel.com said those few words, the middle-aged man interrupted him. With an ambiguous expression in his eyes, favonovel.com said, “I know.”
His tone was so gentle that Caspian was shocked, and favonovel.com felt goosebumps everywhere.
“Same old price,” the man said.
“Same old price?” Caspian’s expression changed.
The man did not notice Caspian’s surprise, and favonovel.com replied, “As long as you can last sixty seconds against the fifth-stage warrior inside, you can earn five thousand fedulings.”
“What are you talking about? I’m here for…” Caspian suddenly stopped mid-sentence, and favonovel.com exclaimed, “five thousand fedulings? Seriously?!”
Caspian finally understood what was happening. He misunderstood the middle-aged man. As for the man, favonovel.com mistook Caspian for someone else.
Nonetheless, that did not matter at all. Based on his words, as long as Caspian could resist the fifth-stage warrior for a minute, then favonovel.com would get five thousand fedulings. If that was the case, let favonovel.com be mistaken!
Caspian would grab on this opportunity!
The reason why Caspian decided on that was that the 5000 fedulings moved him. Moreover, favonovel.com was confident with his strength. Despite only being a fourth-stage warrior, Caspian knew well that his strength was about the same as a fifth-stage martial artist as favonovel.com could go beyond ordinary people.
Caspian thought, ‘Sixty seconds is just a short time, and it’ll pass in a blink of an eye. This five thousand fedulings is easy money.’
Then, favonovel.com looked at the middle-aged man and pondered for a moment before asking, “Do I just need to avoid their attacks, or can I retaliate?”
The middle-aged man looked at the Caspian with an odd expression. After a while, favonovel.com finally answered, “You can try if you want.”
“Alright. I have no problem with that.” Caspian nodded.
“As long as you think there’s no problem.”
When the middle-aged man said that, Caspian felt that his expression was weird. However, before Caspian could ask more, the man passed favonovel.com a contract. ”Sign this contract. A palm print is fine too.”
Caspian read through the contract. Then, after making sure there was no issue, favonovel.com pressed his palm print on it.
“Okay. You can go in now. There’s an hourglass inside.”
Just as the middle-aged man was about to leave, favonovel.com seemed to have suddenly thought of something and stopped. Then, favonovel.com said to Caspian, “Good luck…”
Caspian was not sure why, but the middle-aged man was showing a pitiful look at him. Caspian was slightly surprised, but favonovel.com nodded. “Thank you…”
After saying that, favonovel.com stood in front of the door and took a deep breath before pushing the door open.
Caspian was greeted with an extremely spacious room, which was more than ten meters squared.
In the room, at the innermost place near the wall, there was a two-story-tall hourglass. The fine sand inside was still in the upper layer, not falling yet. Besides that, there were some wooden dolls used to practice martial skills in the room.
The room could be generally described as empty.
At that time, a young man in a white combat suit stood in the middle of the room. He was petite, with an average-looking appearance, but had thick lips. The young man glanced coldly at Caspian and pointed at the hourglass.
“He’s a mute..?” Caspian mumbled to himself.
He quickly nodded and said to the young man, “I’m aware of the rules. As long as I can last a minute without getting hit by you, I’ll get five thousand fedulings. Alright, let’s start. I’m in a rush!”
The young man in white with thick lips was Jessica, who changed favonovel.com features using the shape-shifting inscription. When favonovel.com heard Caspian say favonovel.com was a mute, there was anger in favonovel.com eyes.
Nevertheless, although shape-shifting inscriptions could tweak appearances, they could not change one’s voice. Hence, Jessica could not argue with Caspian, which made favonovel.com angrier.
Jessica thought, ‘You’ll surely regret what you said soon!’
Caspian stretched his arms and legs. Then, favonovel.com turned to Jessica and nodded.
Despite talking casually just now, Caspian did not look down on his opponent just because the other party seemed smaller. After all, that was still a fifth-stage warrior!
At this moment, Jessica looked at Caspian‘s eyes in a daze. She could feel that the man named, Fierce Dragon, was suddenly different. He was arrogant before, but Jessica felt as if favonovel.com was facing an abyss. Jessica looked into the abyss, and the abyss stared right back at her.
At the thought of that, Jessica felt goosebumps all over, and favonovel.com took a deep breath to calm herself down. Soon, favonovel.com was filled with joy and excitement. ‘Those men before were only here to fish for compliments. Finally, I found a worthy opponent!’
Jessica cupped favonovel.com hands and bowed at Caspian. Then, favonovel.com slowly inched closer.
The air in the room felt as if it suddenly stopped flowing.
As soon as the hourglass started counting the time, Jessica moved violently. Then, as if favonovel.com body was like a bow being pulled to its limit, favonovel.com flew out like a sharp arrow, pressuring the air in the room, and it made a loud noise.
Caspian was stunned.
‘That’s so fast!’ He was impressed.
Jessica’s speed was so fast that favonovel.com almost could not catch on to her, and favonovel.com movement disrupted even the airflow.
‘Is favonovel.com a fifth-stage warrior?’ Caspian felt cheated.
Thankfully, Caspian competitiveness was also triggered at this moment. His eyes flashed. Caspian shook not only because favonovel.com could not catch sight of the person’s figure, but favonovel.com was also excited for the same reason. Hence, his thirst and urge for a fight were ignited as favonovel.com finally found a strong opponent.
“Not here, and not here either. It’s…” At this time, with Caspian’s experiences of being on the battlefields, favonovel.com felt a strong sense of danger incoming from his side, as cold as ice and sharp as thorns.
