Chapter 527 Betting On Princess Isabella
If Davis's guess even conformed to a bit of reality, then it became clear that she needed more resources so as to improve herself and the Earth-Dragon. Hence, it became inevitable that she would've participated in the Conferred King Tournament in the future to improve herself.
A wry smile became apparent on Davis's face. He felt that he should've predicted this before he went into seclusion.
Davis began to think if he should purchase another property using Daniuis's name but he knew that would be useless as some people like Official Hall, Clara Yale had already seen them and Princess Isabella be together as a group.
So even if he bought another residence, he still would be pestered under the suspicion that he and the other might have some kind of connection with Princess Isabella.
Besides, he could not use Daniuis's identity which could potentially and easily cause trouble for them in the future.
At this time, Davis heard two cultivators who passed by them before the spacious spectator seats, speak.
"Who do you think will win?"
"I'm not sure, but I'll place my bet on Sword Cultivator Wilhelm! He seems pretty strong despite his age that is bordering at 400."
"What about Miss Isabella? She easily bested a Peak-Level Law Dominion Stage Cultivator with just a fist."
"Ha! Who told that idi..." The person who spoke suddenly paused and looked around as if he made sure that no one listened to him before continuing, "... Who told that person to underestimate Isabella just because she is a woman and has a lower level than him? Otherwise, that esteemed cultivator wouldn't have lost so easily!"
The other person was about to berate him by saying "Don't you also like to underestimate woman?" but didn't as he then saw many people simultaneously leave their seats to a closed section.
They both then picked up their pace!
'So this ten-minute interval is given for people to place bets on the participants?' Davis conceived before his face became joyful.
He didn't know who this Wilhelm Abel is and how strong he currently is but he knew how strong Princess Isabella was! This is basically a chance for him to rake in wealth!
If he didn't take this chance to secure wealth, then he knew that he would just be a fool! He had been wondering what disaster Princess Isabella would bring once she won the tournament but before that, she unknowingly helped him obtain free wealth!
He relayed his intentions to Evelynn and advanced to the betting location to bet on Princess Isabella. As the betting location was noisy and packed up, it took some time for him to finally bet his wealth on Princess Isabella.
Apparently, betting can be only done with Mid-Level Spirit Stones and High-Level Spirit Stones.
There was also a warning board that mentioned the returns; gains would only be in Mid-Level Spirit Stones and not in High-Level Spirit Stones. So, only someone who was stupid or desperate for wealth in quantity would dare to bet in High-Level Spirit Stones.
Davis bet on Princess Isabella with all the Mid-Level Spirit Stones he had, which amounts to a total of 75,000 Mid-Level Spirit Stones and when he saw the odds of winning and the payout if won, he grinned from ear to ear.
[Wilhelm Abel: 1.5 times]
[Isabella: 4 times]
Feeling that he would win, no, that Princess Isabella would absolutely win, he left the betting location and returned towards Evelynn.
However, his eyes widened as he froze.
======
After Davis left, Evelynn had been sitting quietly while also curiously gazing at the outfits of other women in the spectators' seat from time to time.
Some wore pretty robes as they sat with their companions, some wore attractive clothing like one-piece covered by a skimpy robe. Nevertheless, they were still with a group, languidly discussing the battle.
Evelynn had bought a few luxurious clothes herself around the stores of the second level while sightseeing with Davis. Hence, she was rather feeling good and wanted to wear such clothes in the future to make Davis happy.
Evelynn suddenly blinked.
With her physical senses, she suddenly sensed a few people approach her with unkind intentions.
The moment she turned her gaze and looked at the three people looking at her with a mocking and lusty gaze, it became apparent to her that she had attracted trouble.
In any case, this place was a public plot, so she wasn't worried that these three misfits would do something to her.
She inwardly heaved an exasperated sigh and decided to ignore their presence, thinking that they would just go away after her companion arrives.
======
"Miss, do you know who I am? I am the Young Master of the Griswold Family. A High-Level King Grade Power!" One of the three men suddenly uttered.
"Ha! Don't listen to him, he will leave on you like you're nothing. I'll not promise you my love but if you become my woman, I'll make you break into the Law Manifestation Stage by the time you're a century older than right now." Another man confidently spoke with a jeer at the man who spoke before him.
The last person smugly took out a High-Level Earth Grade Alchemist Token, "Miss, I am from the Brightwood Family and want to spend a night with your ideal and lovely self."
His tone was full of arrogance and praise for the beauty. It was as if he didn't expect the lady in front of him to possibly reject him.
Davis looked at the three men who were using all sorts of incentives to attract his wife to warm their beds.
He then saw the three men look at each other with a smile that all men knew. They were like betting who exactly could obtain this lone woman, seated without a companion.
Since it was the city and the tournament where the guards were present in every entrance, they didn't dare do anything to her directly.
Looking at Evelynn listening to all this bullshit without fighting back, rage threatened to encroach his mind!
Looking at her just close her eyes while ignoring their words while trying not to fight back, he knew that she was doing it for him!
Low-key... She knew how he did things, so she didn't want to cause trouble for him.
The three men suddenly jerked. They all felt an enormous killing intent directed at them and instantly regretted their actions, thinking that they had offended someone powerful.
They instantly lowered their postures as if they were cowering.
However, when they slowly turned to look at the source of the killing intent, they were stunned.
"A Law Seed Stage Trash!?" One of them dumbfoundedly muttered.
Even the other two had similar expressions of disbelief on their faces, not able to believe that they were just scared by a person who was at the Law Seed Stage.
At this time, Evelynn, who also felt the killing intent stood up and looked back, "You're back!"
The three men looked at the woman's joyful expression and were instantly displeased.
The Alchemist who still had the token plate in his hand looked at Davis in a furious light, "Scram!"
The undulations from his Law Manifestation Stage Cultivation spread to Davis as it tried to suppress him, however, the next moment, he became confused.
Davis looked at the one who told him to scram with a cold gaze. The pressure the other party released through the undulations didn't even manage to leave a semblance of suppression on him.
"Scram!"
Davis coldly spoke.
The alchemist's expression became ugly when he heard the Law Seed Stage trash telling him to scram. His face flushed red with humiliation but he did not forget himself in the eyes of the public.
Indeed, his actions had already brought the attention of the people sitting around them.
Seeing that the situation was not good, one of them uttered, "Let's go..."
"Tch..." The alchemist clicked his tongue before looking at Evelynn one last time. He then spat two words out of his mouth before making his way out with the other two.
"Fucking slut!"
Evelynn froze! Her expression visibly contorted!
Davis's expression became furious as he instantly walked towards them. With clenched fists, the momentum he walked towards them was as if he were going to punch their faces into nothing but bloody meat paste!
