Angela observed Bobby and Blaze’s expressions and couldn’t help but pity
them. They had unwittingly provoked the Northern Region Wolf, and now their
fate had been sealed.
Suddenly, Yosef lowered his head, and a sinister chuckle escaped his lips. The
chuckle grew louder and turned into a chilling laughter that reverberated
around him.
The crowds couldn’t help but notice his resemblance to a character from
King of Fighters. Initially intrigued by his eerie laughter, they soon found it
spine–tingling.
Yosef didn’t restrain his murderous intent. Under the spotlight, his entire body
seemed to exude a faint black energy.
“Hold on. We want to place our bets!”
Just when things were getting intense, an unexpected interruption diverted
attention from the two main characters.

All eyes turned toward this unfamiliar figure, Gautier, and his background was
a mystery to many.
Emmanuel and Yosef were itching to settle their score, but this wasn’t the
time or place for personal vendettas. Instead, it was at the Nuthana Grand
Martial Showdown.
This event stood as the epitome of honor in Nuthana. So, they were required
to comply with the rules laid down by the organizers.
“Sure, just let us know your bet amount,” Joe said calmly. His forehead
glistened with sweat as he tried to stay calm and keep control of the
situation.
He was well aware of Yosef and Emmanuel’s volatile natures. Yosef was
unpredictable, like a ticking time bomb, while Emmanuel harbored hidden
depths akin to a dormant dragon. If they clashed, it could escalate beyond
the control of even the entire Martial Arts Association.
Such a scenario would flagrantly violate the event organizers‘ rules.

Joe was glad that Yosef seemed relatively calm and Emmanuel hadn’t made
any aggressive moves. They were at a temporary standstill.
“30 billion!” Without illuminating his betting device screen, Gautier stated a
figure and then smiled at Mackenzie. “I’ll wager all the renining assets from
the Onza conversion, totaling 30 billion. Care to bet?”
This proposal sparked another round of discussion in the room.
The Quillen family had already amassed over 30 billion in funds and assets
from Eshal Silverbane, which solidified their dominance in Nuthana. However,
if they lost in the final round, the third Silverbane family would ascend to the
leadership position.
Could this situation be likened to a mantis attempting to catch a cicada,
unaware of the sparrow lurking nearby?
Before Mackenzie said anything, Envoy Azure immediately sneaked up to Levil
and whispered, “Don’t you worry that he’ll double–cross you?”

Levi frowned at Gautier. “Honestly, I can’t read him. But I trust people generally
since nobody will gamble with their own life.”
Envoy Azure nodded.
They couldn’t discern Gautier’s intentions, but staking 30 billion showed his
unwavering confidence.
If Yosef emerged victorious, the third Silverbane family, backed by the
influential chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, would inevitably secure
the position of Chairman of the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce.
However, a defeat would mean relinquishing the Onza Silverbane assets,
painstakingly built by the Chamber of Commerce chairman over the years,
to the Quillen family.
This outcome would herald the ascent of a superfamily with assets soaring
into the hundreds of billions. With control of the Nuthana Chamber of
Commerce, the Quillen family would rival the esteemed Four Great
Aristocratic Families of Zovince.

Confronting the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce would be much
more challenging than dealing with Stanley if the Quillen family decided to
do so.
“Alright, I accept the challenge,” Mackenzie declared as she pondered
Gautier’s motives.
Regardless of his intentions, whether supportive or undermining toward the
Quillen family, she felt there was no reason to turn down the challenge.
After both parties placed bets, it was the public’s turn to wager. The odds.
remain evenly split at 50:50.
“This is the last round. I’m sitting this one out. Shane, I hope you’re betting on
Emmanuel, Frederick stated earnestly as he stared at him.
Frederick was aware of his unfortunate streak where his chosen bets always
ended up losing. He refused to throw his support behind Yosef. However, he
couldn’t bring himself to bet on Emmanuel either, as Frederick feared he
might jinx Emmanuel.

“Fine, I’ll go all in on Emmanuel. Let’s do this!” Shane boldly wagered his entire
30 million winnings on Emmanuel.
He put his arm’arqund Frederick’s shoulder and added boldly, “If we win, we
party hard. But if we lose, we’ll be broke together!”
