“Please give me a moment.” Sebastian noticed the bookmaker’s stall for placing bets. He was nearly broke after buying the Aether Script. Of course, he wouldn’t pass up on such a good opportunity to make bank.
The bookmaker immediately beamed at his new customer. “Mr. Wilder, are you placing a bet too?”
“That’s right. I bet on my victory. Here’s 630 million dollars.” Sebastian placed a bet with all the money on him. If he won the bet, he would get a billion dollars in return.
“Mr. Wilder, you’re indeed generous. I pray for your victory.” The bookmaker grinned widely at him. At first, the bookmaker was worried that Sebastian might place a small bet. Thankfully, Sebastian placed a bet of 630 million dollars, which saved him from suffering devastating losses.
“I’ll bet a billion dollars!” Lana approached the bookmaker.
The bookmaker asked, “Ms. Sanders, who are you betting on?”
“Nonsense! Of course, I’m betting on Sebastian to win,” Lana snapped.
Although she wasn’t confident in Sebastian, she would like to show her support with her actions.
“Me too. I’ll bet a billion dollars on Sebastian.” Harvey followed suit, much to the delight of the bookmaker.
After the Sanders siblings placed their bets, the bookmaker was sure he would not suffer a loss. Not only that, he might even profit from the dealings.
“Lana, you should’ve bet on me. You don’t have to waste your money, you know,” Flynn advised Lana.
“Flynn, stay out of my business. Do you think you’re guaranteed to win? Who knows? Maybe it’s Sebastian who’ll kick your ass later,” she remarked with a scoff.
“She’s right! Sebastian will win.” Harvey snorted.
“That’s impossible. Since you don’t believe in me, I’ll prove it to you through my actions. I’ll beat his ass up in front of you later!” Flynn proclaimed proudly.
“Pfft. Quit bluffing,” Lana said with contempt, but her eyes betrayed a look of worry.
After placing the bet, Sebastian went out to the beach with Flynn. The others stood back to offer them space for the duel.
Instead of starting the duel right away, Flynn stared at his opponent and announced, ” Sebastian Wilder, you’re a dead man if you fight with me. But I can grant you a chance at life. I’ll spare your life if you agree to get on your knees and surrender to me. Otherwise, today
shall be your last day on earth!”
Sebastian replied disdainfully, “Flynn York, you’ve overestimated yourself. I’ll say the same to you. Surrender to me and I might consider sparing your life.”
“You’re playing with fire!” Raging, Flynn unsheathed his sword and attacked Sebastian at lightning speed.
Even grandmasters might not be able to dodge the speed at which Flynn attacked. Flynn was not only swift but violent and aggressive as if he wanted to split his opponent in half.
However, Sebastian showed no fear. He agilely stepped aside and dodged the attack.
At the same time, everyone heard a rumble from the ground, which had split in half and formed a trench.
Flynn smirked. “Good for you on dodging my sword attack. Let’s do this a second time!”
While speaking, he directed his sword at Sebastian. Sebastian leaped into the air, avoiding Flynn’s attack.
The crowds gasped. “Sebastian Wilder is really something for surviving two attacks by Flynn York. He’s indeed the man who defeated Maverick Sanders.”
Lana looked thrilled but clenched her fists nervously. After all, Flynn had just started. His attacks were merely a warm-up.
Flynn started taking Sebastian seriously after Sebastian successfully dodged two attacks.
“Not too bad, but you can’t go any further than this, I’m afraid,” Flynn snickered.
Then, he kicked his feet off the ground and launched himself at Sebastian like a rocket while yelling, “Die!”
