Chapter 485: Chapter 131 Ah, Just Playing_1
“So what?”
No matter what Sandra thought internally, she must maintain an air of strength in this predicament.
“No matter what, it’s our internal matter. At present, whether it’s the competition or the bet, you’ve lost. You’re not trying to wimp out, are you? We signed a magic contract for our bet.”
“Keep blabbing.”
Verna, the Three-Point Witch, displayed the stake between the two of them: a Third Ring level magic accessory. She smirked and said, “Please continue uttering words of bravado. I’m just here to enjoy the show, a drama titled ‘Civil War’.”
“Take it.”
Sandra accepted the accessory and casually handed it to Lanny, then rebutted Verna’s schadenfreude. “You won’t get what you want!”
“Is that so? Let’s wait and see.”
Verna chuckled, her face full of disdain. “I just wonder whether you’d dare to make another bet with me.”
Sandra gritted her teeth: “Bet! What could I possibly be afraid of betting on?!”
Verna revealed her fangs: “This time, I don’t want material goods as the stake. If you lose, just record a video and upload it to all the major forums of the Mitchell District, saying that Ravensmouth College tendencies infighting.”
A fierce glint passed through Sandra’s eyes, yet she found herself in a difficult position.
If the stake were physical items, she wouldn’t hesitate for a second, even if it were a Third Ring magic tool.
But the stake Verna proposed related to the college’s reputation.
If she accepted the bet, she might lose face for the college in the future.
If she retreated now and declined the bet, she would lose face for herself immediately.
“Oho, dare not to bet?”
Verna, seeing her reluctance, took the opportunity to provoke her. “If you don’t dare to, that’s okay, from what I see of you, you’re always cautious and indecisive.”
Sandra, pricked by Verna’s taunts, counterattacked immediately. “Nonsense! Do you think I’m afraid of placing a bet? I am just thinking about what stake to demand.”
Meanwhile, Lanny whispered a suggestion in Sandra’s ear: “If she wants a video, we can ask for the same. Let the content be her admitting that the Flame and Metal Trading Company lacks strength and cannot stand a wave.”
Sandra thought a moment, found the proposed stakes were roughly equivalent, and agreed.
She directly conveyed Lanny’s idea, and pulled out a blank magic contract.
“Let’s make it a contract!”
Sandra wrote down the bet and stakes, signed her name, left her spiritual power imprint, and handed it to Lanny to relay it to Verna, the Three-Point Witch.
She disdained to come into direct contact with Verna.
“If you insist on a contract, so be it.”
Verna snorted, showing no hesitation at all.
She had this bet in the bag!
After signing the contract, Verna took her seat again, watching the live filming with a smile on her face, awaiting the curtain rise on the drama.
The team leader of Shadow City and the Scholar from the White Tower Alliance, who both were losing interest after their withdrawal, were also invigorated again due to the unique stakes set between Sandra and Verna.
Regardless of who wins or loses, they’d have a good laugh.
Entertaining, indeed!
Back to the Competition World.
Beams of light fell one after another.
After discovering that Shadow City’s team was teleported out of the boundary, the members abruptly encountered a sudden change and lost their strong backup. One member of the Lucia family swallowed hard and asked with a hoarse voice, “Cousin, what should we do?”
The other two Lucias and three peripheral members looked over.
The Lucia family had confirmed through some channels that Link Grande’s split-second victory against Scott Colonna at the on-site rematch for selecting the leader of the Shadow City exchange learning program was no fluke.
Link Grande truly possesses stable strength which is capable of instantly killing a First-Level Wizard.
Therefore, these Lucia family members knew they themselves wouldn’t be enough to handle Link Grande.
Otherwise, why would their family seek external assistance?
Now that the external support was gone, should they continue with the plan?
“What should we do? Continue!”
The cousin gave an unequivocal response, with no hint of hesitation.
“Alright.”
The Lucia who asked was glared at by his cousin and swallowed back his words, continuing to put on an unconvincing act of “fleeing in disorder.”
To be honest, at this point, he was wondering why the family insisted on making such a move in this competition.
Is it that hard to eliminate Link Grande?
If it were just up to them, as First-Level Wizards, then it would definitely be hard.
Even with a Senior Second-Level Wizard leading them last time, they still failed and were given the runaround.
However, if the family had been as resolute as they were today and sent a Third-Level Wizard earlier, they would have definitely succeeded.
There was no need to end up in the current predicament.
Nor was there a need to collude with outsiders during a competition between the college and other Wizard Organizations.
The cousin believed that, even if the other two Lucias didn’t know the full picture, they could roughly guess what they were thinking.
After all, he had been there himself.
It’s just that after one conversation, such thoughts were completely suppressed.
The cousin felt a heavy sense of duty and continued the act of “fleeing in disorder”, implementing the original plan with determined eyes.
He no longer cared about success or failure.
He had only one thing in mind: to complete the significant mission personally assigned to him by the clan leader.
No matter what, he was willing to take any risk, at any price.
Then he spotted a shadowy figure flying overhead.
The Reconnaissance Magic Tools also captured the figure’s face, and they could even track the flight path of the figure.
Upon closer inspection, the cousin realized it was Link Grande.
For a moment, he felt chills running down his spine.
