Chapter 493: Gaining more attention
After the fight was over, the audience once again cheered, the opponent who didn't even take a single attack was needed to be taken away.
He couldn't even take the pressure much less the hit.
After they left Sam walked to the center of the stage and bowed down before speaking to Rana.
"Boss, with all due respect, I think you should increase the standard of fighters, it is no challenge at all, and I didn't get to use ten percent of strength. I hope you can resolve this and throw some more challenging tasks at me."
Rana who is grinning wildly because of the one-sided performance and the revenue he would get was surprised and flustered to be called out like this, but he didn't show it openly. He looked at Fidi, for him to provide an out.
And Fidi also got a bit flustered, but he remembered the talk he had with Sam before the match has started and whispered something to Rana, who smiled and looked extremely excited as he stood up and said in a loud voice.
"Our Iron-Level fighter Sam said that he needs more challenge and so does our audience. That is why I made a decision and tomorrow there will be another exciting for you to watch.
A one versus five fight. Sam against the five bronze level fighters at the same time.
Today, Sam proved that he can fight with twenty opponents and even more if they come at him one at a time, but let us see how he will fare against more skilled opponents in a fight and how he would deal with the fact that he was going to be outnumbered.
I hope everyone can come tomorrow to see the fight and who knows, there might be a surprise waiting for us if Sam really did win."
When he said this, the audience cheered. The VIPs stood up and looked at San with interest. They noticed Sam's excited expression when Rana announced and they all came to one conclusion.
This guy seemed to be too much of a battle maniac.
And Sam would be happy if he knew that they have that impression.
His goal is that and he almost achieved it. He looked at the nobles and saw that the three Naga women are looking at him weirdly, he could sense the emotion they are feeling and it seemed to be a little bit of lust mixed with.
He heard that sex is not that big of a deal in the Naga race, in fact, they liked to have sex with humans so much that their armies are mostly made with the humans that have faint Naga bloodline and some higher positions will be occupied by Half Nagas.
This perspective of sex is even spread amongst the ladies of Nagas and the whole race. Except for infidelity after the marriage, everything they do before marriage is completely fair in their nature as Naga's lust is almost top-notch in all races.
Particularly, their lust towards humans.
He shuddered at the looks of these three naga women in the VIPs and hoped that he wouldn't need to mess with them.
Apart from that the Vip who is most casual of all and kept on drinking and yelling at the battles also looked at him with interest and threw a wine gourd towards the attendant who collects the winner bonuses.
The attendant ran towards Sam and gave him the wine gourd. Sam removed the cork and sniffed the aroma of the strong wine and looked at the Purple-Orange scaled young man.
He raised his gourd towards him as a toast and the latter reciprocated the gesture and two of them took a swig of the wine at the same time.
Sam then asked the attendant.
"May I know the young master's name?"
"He is young master Yodha. He is the son of one of the Dukes and is quite famous for being a drunkard."
When Sam heard this, he had a particular idea in his mind and took out a crystal bamboo jar from his storage. This is the spatial ring that contained the food from Mackey and it also has wine.
He just said to fill it up with every food item they can and they also filled it with this wine.
He gave the wine to the attendant and asked him to deliver it back to Yodha.
The attendant nodded and went back with the Bamboo jar.
Yodha became interested when he saw the jar and he looked at Sam with a smile. He opened the lid and took a sniff. This wine's aroma is not as strong as the one he sent. But it has a peculiar and mellow aroma enticing him to have it immediately.
He took a sip and his eyes lit up in surprise. He once again toasted to Sam before leaving the place as he enjoyed the wine from the bamboo jar.
After they left, Sam went back backstage and waited for Fidi to come.
Fidi's face is glowing as he looked through the spatial rings as he made his way towards the private room.
He handed over one of the spatial rings to Sam and said.
"There is not only the winner bonus of the arena and the audience, there is also extra bonus from the fight bonus for you.
Boss personally approved of this special bonus to you, today's income is off the charts. It is even more than the income of the past week combined."
He is ecstatic. He earned a lot as Sam's supervisor and the rest of the supervisors are grinding their teeth. Even though they also earned some money because the people who got their ass beat by Sam are fighters under the other promoters and they did earn a lot, but compared to Fidi, it is peanuts.
They are all grudgingly looking at Fidi and Sam from outside the room.
They didn't expect that one of them would get such a jackpot. Sam really is like a pot of gold.
Sam started sorting out some of the rewards and separated them into another spatial ring and handed it over to the attendant and said.
"Distribute among yourselves."
The attendant was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a moment, but when Sam gestured once again, he came to his senses and took the ring.
He took a peek at the contents and was beyond joyful.
He thanked him profusely and ran out of the room without a care for what Fidi or other supervisors would think.
Fidi was stunned too. He saw the amount Sam separated and gave away. It is actually a lot. It is almost forty percent of the winner bonus. This is a huge amount.
There are around a hundred attendants in this wing of the residences of the fighters and even for them, this is more than three months' worth of salary for each of them.
"Why did you give away so much?"
"What is the point of all the money? I have a sufficient amount for my immediate growth and more. And I am sure that I can get more before that. So, what is the point of holding so much? If it is some food, wine, or any other consumable, I might have been interested. It is just spirit stones. Nothing I can't get with little effort.
Anyway, is there a way for the fighters to bet?"
"Bet?"
"Yeah, there is a betting section, right? Is there a way for me to bet on myself?"
"There is, but it is not led by the Boss directly. It is mostly run by Boss's family. We only get some commission."
"Why is that?"
"Some family politics. Even though the subordinate who runs the betting is Boss' subordinate in name, he is actually working right under Boss' elder brother."
Sam thought for a moment and understood. Even though the revenue would be coming to Rana, it would be no more than some pocket change.
There is no way the full and exact amount will come to Rana. He wanted to take advantage of this situation.
"How do they jumble the money proceedings? They should send the data regarding the number of bets put on them, right?"
"They will just send some false data and pay the arena according to that."
"Then, I actually have a plan that could benefit us a lot. If Boss, wants to know please do tell him to grant me permission to visit him."
"I will talk to him."
Fidi's and Sam's talk was completely natural as if they are peers, because of the profits he made, Fidi is talking to him like this without even knowing.
After a few minutes, Fidi is back and he took Sam to another room deeper into the building where Rana is sitting.
Sam was offered a seat and both of them started discussing what they should do tomorrow regarding the matter of betting.
When Rana heard this, he had an interesting expression. The Idea is actually quite simple, but they never got this Idea.
But now, they are going to do this.
