Bellena who only had her nona but did not dare to ask for help, could only endure her fear. At that moment, someone surprised him. His body felt so weak that he was unable to stand.
How could they all laugh? Bellena did not understand their humor at all.
But his cruel, cruel,
"Don't bother him. She's just a normal girl. But I still need her."
it turned out to be on his side and defend him.
"So, lay a finger on her and I'll fuck you up."
So thought Bellena.
Ashley's face looked so calm. As if saying 'no problem' but anyone who understands Ashley's sentence, will think otherwise.
The men looked a little relieved, indicating they did not understand Ashley's words, except for one person, the only woman in their group. Ashley realized the woman's difference in expression from the others and assumed that she understood her speech.
"What's your name again?" Ask the woman.
He just silently looked at Ashley, then looked at his friends, acting as if he did not understand her words.
Ashley then ignored him, giving the impression that what he said using a foreign language was not important.
It was not the fear of Ashley that he and his group felt. But vigilance.
A young girl wanders around at night with only one subordinate who is also a girl. He's not even afraid of them. He also did not mind following them through suspicious places.
If not stupid, then he is a dangerous man.
They also continued their journey. Bellena looked a little calmer because she felt they weren't as scary as she thought.
Then, they arrived at a knick-knack shop. They then pay 1 gold coin per person before entering the basement where there is a large enough room.
There are so many people gathered there. A cheering sound rang out into the hallway upon entering the room.
Their attention was all centered on the central part of the room which was deliberately given space for a jotos show.
Not long after, the match was over. Ashley looked excited throughout the match while Bellena closed her eyes, not daring to watch the show in front of her.
Ashley's eyes and the woman had met. Ashley then smiled and asked,
"What's wrong?"
Which was answered with a head.
Ashley's eyes slightly changed as if he had caught her lie. He was surprised to realize the mistake he spontaneously made. Ashley did not dispute that. Good if anyone understands the warning he gave.
The man who had previously surprised Bellena walked down the stairs towards the fight area.
"I'll give my victory to Bellena. My sorry sign!" The man said confidently that he would win.
Ashley's interest is growing. The expression drawn on his face could make anyone who saw him become excited.
"All in! 400!" Shouted Ashley lifting a bag full of gold coins that Bellena brought today.
By risking 400 gold coins in a single match made everyone who was there dumbfounded. So did Bellena who couldn't hold Ashley back from squandering money.
That place is a gambling place. Bet their money on one of the fighters and are returned with an additional percentage if they win. The higher the probability of losing, the more multiples the money will be earned based on the number of bets given.
80% of all bets will be used to pay the winners. The rest is given to the winning fighter. The organizers only receive their entrance fee money.
What if one fighter gets 80% or more votes? So the money paid to the winner is less? Then the percentage plus 10%.
But the organizers have matched one fighter with another so that their chances of victory are not very far apart.
Although the difference of 50% and 60% is seen a little, but the difference of 70% and 30% looks very large. For example, the person Ashley supports right now. His winning chances were only around 30% so more people supported his opponent.
But without thinking about the opportunity, he risked all his money. Once again this crazy woman managed to attract a lot of attention. There were about 30 people risking his money, but only 6 people were betting on the man.
Ashley is always ready to face defeat,
People cheered every time the male opponent managed to take him down.
but defeat was a miracle for Ashley.
Unyielding, to fulfill his promise to apologize to Bellena. The man kept getting up and fighting back.
It was as if luck was always on his side.
People began to show his anger, not expecting a candidate with a 30% chance of winning could make him lose a bet. An ability? Nope. It was his determination and struggle that led him to victory.
Plus the burden of 600 more gold coins that would just disappear if he lost.
His luck even exceeded the luck of the Stick Maker.
"Well, the burden you give. is too heavy..." Said the man with a breath.
Ashley showed a smile of victory. He looked at the man satisfied. With a face drenched in blood and a staggering body, the man became the one who was still standing to the end. His opponent lay not far from him, giving him victory over his hard work.
The burden of 600 more gold coins that he carried, now he managed to save.
Of the total 900 gold coins, 720 coins were distributed to the winner. Ashley, who bet 61.5% of all bets on the man, made a profit of 42 gold coins. On the other hand, he made the man get paid 180 gold coins.
Look little? No. gabe. With 1 gold coin, one can actually eat 3 times the normal portion for 3 days.
A fortune of 42 gold coins, and a pay of 180 in one fell swoop was not something that was common. Usually, most only bet around 5 to a maximum of 15 coins, which is actually quite excessive.
When compared to the pay of a hitman that Ashley hired, it would be very far behind. Their jobs have their own advantages and risks.
The atmosphere there was still quite chaotic as many people lost. Yet some like the man and his group, cheered in celebration of the victory of that fierce fight.
The match winner waved his hand at Bellena as if saying 'this is for you' made the girl's face flushed like it was steaming. He also laughed out loud at Ashley for making him get paid big.
In the crowd, a woman who had also just lost a bet, approached Ashley.
"Your instinct is very good. Want to try somewhere else? With people your class?" Ask one of the women standing next to him.
The people who come and bet here can be said to be quite wealthy people. Spending 10 gold coins so easily. But the woman thought the place was still not worthy enough. Moreover, that place was an illegal place.
Without saying goodbye to her new friend, Ashley picks up her gift and leaves with Bellena to follow the man.
