Chapter 2691: Chapter 2691: Shameless Andrew Campbel
"Thank you, Vice Sect Leader Campbell."
After Wyatt Barnes received the two Storage Rings sent over by the Third Prince of King Cooper’s mansion, he immediately looked at the Vice Sect Leader of the Poison King Sect, Andrew Campbell, and said with a hoarse voice and a smile.
For a moment, Andrew Campbell’s face turned extremely sour, as if he had swallowed a fly.
"Do you dare to bet with me again?"
Suddenly, as if recalling something, Andrew Campbell abruptly stood up, looked at Wyatt Barnes, and asked sternly.
"Bet again?"
Wyatt Barnes was taken aback, then asked, "Bet on what?"
Meanwhile, the individuals in the VIP seating area also looked at Andrew Campbell in unison, curious about what he was planning to bet on with the Flying Dragon Sect’s inferior alchemy Immortal Master Sacrificial Officer.
"It seems the Vice Sect Leader of the Poison King Sect does not admit defeat."
Behind the curtain, the Third Prince of King Cooper’s mansion chuckled.
Outside, one could not hear the sounds from behind the curtain, but those behind the curtain could clearly hear the sounds from outside.
The soundproofing effect of the curtain was only effective towards the outside.
"I’m curious... what can he bet on at this point?"
Ares Cooper said.
"At this point, besides betting on whether Wyatt Barnes, the trump card of Nine Nether County, will come... what else can he bet on?"
A wise glint flashed between the eyes of King Cooper, and his words seemed to have guessed Andrew Campbell’s ’intentions’.
"Bet on whether Wyatt Barnes will come?"
Ares Cooper was stunned.
"If I guess correctly..."
With the reminder from King Cooper, the Third Prince squinted his eyes and said with a faint smile, "He will surely bet first, wagering that Wyatt Barnes from Nine Nether County won’t come... At this point, since Wyatt Barnes hasn’t appeared, it’s almost certain he won’t come."
"Isn’t that shameless?"
Even though Ares Cooper hoped that Wyatt Barnes wouldn’t come, after hearing the Third Prince’s words, he still felt:
If Andrew Campbell, the Vice Sect Leader of the Poison King Sect, did that, it would simply be shameless to the extreme!
"Moreover... setting such a ’bet’, would the inferior alchemy Immortal Master Sacrificial Officer from the Flying Dragon Sect agree? In my opinion, unless his brain was kicked by a donkey, there’s no way he would agree to such a bet."
Ares Cooper said.
Fortunately, Wyatt Barnes did not hear these words from Ares Cooper, otherwise, he would have been speechless.
What’s meant by agreeing would mean his brain was kicked by a donkey?
Isn’t that deliberately insulting him?
"Just as Robert, you said... unless the inferior alchemy Immortal Master Sacrificial Officer from the Flying Dragon Sect had his brain kicked by a donkey, otherwise, he wouldn’t agree to such a bet."
The Third Prince said with a smile.
Meanwhile, outside the curtain, in the VIP seating area, the Vice Sect Leader of the Poison King Sect, Andrew Campbell, spoke under everyone’s watchful eyes:
"Let’s bet on whether Wyatt Barnes, the trump card of Nine Nether County, will participate in the Sixteen County Conference Combat!"
As soon as Andrew Campbell said this, the entire place fell into a dead silence.
Moments later, many in the VIP seating area shook their heads and said, "This bet is not worth making!"
"Indeed... This bet is entirely meaningless! At this point, that Wyatt Barnes, the trump card of Nine Nether County, hasn’t appeared, indicating it’s almost certain he won’t appear."
"Unless this Vice Sect Leader of the Poison King Sect, Andrew Campbell, bets on Wyatt Barnes coming to participate in the Sixteen County Conference Combat... otherwise, who would be willing to bet with him?"
"Would he bet on Wyatt Barnes coming to the Sixteen County Conference Combat?"
...
Amidst the discussions in the VIP seating area, everyone’s gaze fell upon Andrew Campbell, curious whether he would bet on Wyatt Barnes appearing at the Sixteen County Conference Combat while issuing this ’challenge’.
Even the group from the Flying Dragon Sect fixed their gaze on Andrew Campbell.
Facing everyone’s scorching gaze, Andrew Campbell looked at Wyatt Barnes and said without flushing or heartbeat racing, "I place a heavy bet of one hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones, betting that Wyatt Barnes, the trump card of Nine Nether County, won’t participate in the Sixteen County Conference Combat..."
Just as everyone in the VIP seating area was deeming Andrew Campbell shameless after hearing his words, Andrew Campbell continued, "Of course, given the high probability of my victory... you can bet just fifty thousand top-grade Immortal Stones that Wyatt Barnes will participate in the Sixteen County Conference Combat."
Almost the instant Andrew Campbell’s voice fell, Cohen Yellow, the Vice Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect, couldn’t help but sneer, "Shameless! Andrew Campbell, you are extremely shameless!"
"Shameless! Too shameless!"
"Such a bet could probably only be conceived by the shameless people of the Poison King Sect!"
"Wyatt Barnes, the trump card of Nine Nether County, hasn’t shown up yet, it’s almost certain he won’t come... Never mind Andrew Campbell betting ten thousand top-grade Immortal Stones against Sacrificial Officer Laird’s fifty thousand top-grade Immortal Stones, even if it were twenty thousand top-grade Immortal Stones against five thousand, Sacrificial Officer Laird would still be at a loss!"
"Only a fool would agree to such a bet!"
...
The group from the Flying Dragon Sect looked at Andrew Campbell, muttering amongst themselves, all agreeing on Andrew Campbell’s extreme shamelessness.
Even the group from the Poison King Sect thought their own Vice Sect Leader was shameless, but they couldn’t side with outsiders to criticize their Vice Sect Leader, could they?
So, they also looked at the group from the Flying Dragon Sect, repeatedly arguing, "What shamelessness? If you people from the Flying Dragon Sect don’t dare to take up this bet, just say it, can we take a knife to your throat and force you to agree?"
"Exactly! If you don’t dare, just say it!"
"In my opinion, the people from the Flying Dragon Sect are just scared!"
...
The Poison King Sect group looked at the Flying Dragon Sect group and argued forcefully.
"Shameless!"
"Too shameless!"
...
Now, a group of people in the VIP seats, neither from Flying Dragon Sect nor Poison King Sect, felt not only was Vice Sect Leader Andrew Campbell of Poison King Sect shameless, but also that everyone from Poison King Sect was shameless.
"The people of Poison King Sect... are too shameless!"
Behind the curtain, Ares Cooper was also somewhat righteously indignant, standing up for the Flying Dragon Sect.
"In this world, there are plenty of shameless people... this is nothing."
The Third Prince shook his head and said, "Actually, everyone knows who is truly shameless... no one will agree to this wager."
At the same time.
"Lord County Governor!"
In the sky above the arena, the host of the Sixteen Counties Martial Tournament focused his sharp gaze on the spectator seats where the Nine Nether County group was located, directly locking onto ’Field’.
"Will your ’Trump Card’ from Nine Nether County forfeit?"
The host asked bluntly.
"Sir, I hope you can wait a little longer..."
Field said with a stiff expression.
Until now, Wyatt Barnes still hadn’t appeared.
Although, in his heart, he felt it unlikely that Wyatt Barnes would show up, he was still reluctant, subconsciously hoping Wyatt would appear just in time to bring ’hope’ to Nine Nether County.
For this reason, he wanted to try to buy Wyatt some time.
What if Wyatt appeared in the next moment?
"Wait? At this moment, wait for what?!"
"Hmph! Nine Nether County’s Trump Card must be that ’Wyatt Barnes’... if Wyatt was going to come, he would be here already. How could he still not have shown up by now?"
"In my opinion, even waiting is useless! That Wyatt Barnes definitely won’t show up."
...
Almost the moment Field’s words fell, similar voices rose around the spectator seats surrounding the arena.
More than ninety percent of people believed Wyatt Barnes would not come.
Upon hearing Field’s words, the host of the Sixteen Counties Martial Tournament frowned, eventually taking out a ’communication Immortal Talisman’, infusing it with Immortal Origin, and shooting it into the area behind the VIP spectator seats covered by curtains.
He was seeking a decision from the Third Prince, who was overseeing this Sixteen Counties Martial Tournament.
"Brother... do you think it’s necessary to wait any longer?"
The Third Prince, receiving the communication Immortal Talisman, looked at King Cooper beside him and asked.
"Let’s wait another hour."
King Cooper’s eyes flashed, "This is also a reflection of my appreciation for Wyatt Barnes... after all, such a monstrous genius appearing in the area we govern isn’t easy."
"Understood."
The Third Prince nodded while returning a communication Immortal Talisman to the host of the Sixteen Counties Martial Tournament.
Upon receiving the communication Immortal Talisman, the host immediately announced:
"Orders from King Cooper... given his appreciation for Nine Nether County’s monstrous genius Wyatt Barnes, they will be given one more hour. After an hour, if Nine Nether County’s Trump Card hasn’t appeared, the Sixteen Counties Martial Tournament will conclude."
"By then, Kaison Truman from Windbreak County will be recognized as the ’first’ in this Sixteen Counties Martial Tournament!"
The host finished his declaration uninterrupted.
Although everyone present believed another hour of waiting was a waste of time,
since it was an order from their suprememe ’King Cooper,’ even if they were dissatisfied, they dared not voice any complaints.
For those in the region governed by King Cooper, he was an untouchable presence on high.
"Thank you, King Cooper."
Upon hearing the host’s words, Nine Nether County’s County Governor Field quickly bowed toward the direction of the VIP spectator seats to express gratitude, but he was burdened with heavy concerns.
At that moment, he even felt regret, regretting his effort to buy time for Wyatt Barnes.
As most people have suggested:
If Wyatt Barnes was going to come, he would already have arrived. His absence till now was telling.
"Lord County Governor, is it necessary to wait any longer? Wyatt Barnes definitely won’t come..."
the senior elder Nathanael Knight from Nine Nether County said.
Even Christian Clark, the senior elder who had always supported Wyatt Barnes, remained silent at that moment.
Because he had no ’confidence.’
By now, even he felt Wyatt Barnes wouldn’t come.
"However, Wyatt not coming must be due to some incident, or he may have encountered trouble himself... otherwise, given his temperament and character, he would come!"
Christian Clark thought to himself.
