An Understated Dominance - Chapter 2399
“Since Madam Penelope has spoken, I’ll follow her lead,” Alloy said with a smile. “What about Mr. Hadley and Sage Foyer?”
“I’m in if you want to make a bet,” Cyrus replied coolly.
“It’s not every day we get an opportunity like this. Let me stir things up a bit,” Kaden said, nodding with a grin.
Once the three agreed, Penelope waved for Abigail to come over.
Abigail approached them with a wide smile. “Esteemed guests, I hear you want to bet. The current odds are: if you bet on Dustin to win, you’ll get 1.6 times your stake. If you bet on Glenn, you’ll only get 0.4 times.”
She added, “And don’t worry—if you win, I’ll exchange your winnings for celestial stones.”
Abigail’s bright smile made the others’ eyes sparkle with excitement. Many had already placed their bets with her. Though she couldn’t control the match, she knew how to adjust the odds to her advantage. Over time, that could lead to a big fortune.
“I’m betting on Glenn to win.” Cyrus quickly tossed a translucent, greenish orb to Abigail.
The orb glowed softly, swirling like liquid inside. It gave off a faint, calming light.
“An Aqua Orb? Mr. Hadley doesn’t joke around when it comes to betting,” Penelope said, her interest piqued.
The Aqua Orb was one of five elemental orbs. It allowed the user to control water flow, similar to having an extra water-related divine power. It also sharpened the mind, sped up training, and improved martial skills. It was a rare treasure that everyone valued.
“What’s wrong? Are you afraid to accept it?” Cyrus raised an eyebrow.
“Of course not. I’ll accept whatever the big shots are betting,” Abigail assured, nodding eagerly. After all, there were…
support, everyone!” Abigail said, feeling grateful and excited.
“1.6 odds sounds tempting, but I still trust Glenn. I’m betting on him to win,” Alloy said with a chuckle as he pulled out a bottle of pills from his robe and handed it to Abigail.
“Adamantinol? Wow, that’s amazing!” Abigail’s eyes sparkled with excitement. Adamantinol was a rare pill from the Celestial Alliance, famous for boosting strength and endurance. It was highly sought after by martial artists who wanted to refine their bodies.
However, making Adamantinol wasn’t easy. The ingredients were hard to find, making the pills very rare. Only a lucky few disciples ever got to use one.
“Sage Foyer, who are you betting on?” Penelope asked, glancing at him.
“Since Mr. Marshall and Mr. Hadley are betting on Glenn, I’ll take a different route. I’m going to take a risk and bet on Dustin,” Kaden said with a smile as he pulled out three colorful talismans.
He handed them to Abigail and added, “I don’t have many treasures, but these should help.”
“Sage Foyer, you’re too modest! These talismans are priceless!” Abigail exclaimed, her face lighting up with joy.
These were Divine Talismans, charged with Kaden’s internal energy, making them much stronger than ordinary ones. Even ten of Caleb’s best wouldn’t match their power, making them extremely rare and valuable.
“I’m with you, Sage Foyer. I’m betting on Dustin too,” Penelope said, raising her hand. A black cloak quietly floated into Abigail’s hands.
The cloak had a special aura that could make its wearer almost invisible in the dark, as long as they didn’t bump into anyone.
“Thank you for your support!” Abigail said, feeling more determined than ever.
“Let’s see who comes out on top,” Abigail said with a smile.
She felt like she had struck gold. This was another opportunity to earn big.
