    Ehud flew from the stage and soon crashed onto the wall of the spectator''s stand. No one was able to see his figure yet since dust clouds covered the crashing site.


    Tens of meters away from where Ehud had crashed on, Erson could be seen slowly walking towards his location. Hisnce was positioned to his left side, ready to defend whenever Ehud would suddenlyunch an attack again.


    As soon as the dust cloud settled down, everyone could finally see Ehud''s sorry figure lying at the very center of a web-like cracked wall. He was coughing out a mouthful of blood while gasping for air to breathe. In the next moment, his entire body fell to the ground. As his legs were now very weak to remain standing, he couldn''t help himself from kneeling on the ground.


    Minor and severe wounds could be seen almost around the entire body of Ehud, with blood continuously oozing out from them.


    "I..."


    As much as Ehud wanted to not admit his defeat, but with the current state of his body, he knows for certain that even if he stands up and continue to fight, he wouldn''t be able to handle even a single finger push from Erson. Anyways, he had already tried his very best in this fight and didn''t even hold back anything.


    Looking at Erson currently walking towards him, Ehud slowly formed a smile on his face. Basing on how much damage he had caused Erson, he can rest assured that he had done a lot of improvementspared to his previous battles with him. In the past, despite their simr cultivation level of 5-Star Mage, the farthest he could go against Erson was only a few exchanges. This was because thetter knows plenty of techniques when using his Magic spells, which was obviously the main reason why he had still lost the fight.


    While Ehud wasforting himself, the entire crowd watching the fight from the spectator''s stand immediately erupted in loud cheers. Regardless of who they have supported before the fight, they all celebrated for Erson''s victory.


    The supporter of Erson, in particr, was the loudest of all. They began chanting Erson''s name in rhythm as if they have already nned this beforehand.


    Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Erson finally arrived a few meters of distance away from Ehud. He slowly closed his eyes, trying to carve this triumphant scene to the most important part of his memory. As soon as he opened both of his eyes, his hand holding thence instantly shoot forward and right after began swinging thence as if making it dance in celebration. The moment he stopped, he said to Ehud, "I win!"


    Sitting inside one of the VIP rooms, Leo can''t help shaking his head after seeing Erson''s action and saying, "No wonder a considerable amount of people called you a show-off!"


    The way Erson had acted just now was as if he was ying the main character of a theater show after defeating the greatest viin of the story.


    Only Fate knows why exactly Erson was acting like this, but it doesn''t need one to ask Fate in order to know what the consequences of the action would result in.


    Instantly, numerous booing sounds erupted from the spectator stand after seeing Erson showing off his skill with thence, especially the loyal supporters of Ehud.


    In their opinions, Erson''s action was like insulting, or worst, an act of disrespect to a great Mage like Ehud. After all, Ehud still gave them a good fight to watch. Although from the very beginning until the end, Ehud was being suppressed by Erson, every single time he was still able to break free from it through the most admirable and exciting scene he could possibly show to them.


    Such an action of never conceding and giving up was worthy of their respect and support.


    In fact, even a few supporters of Erson can''t help shaking their heads as they found his action a bit out of ce. If he wanted to show-off, do it in a theater show, not in the arena, especially not after defeating Ehud.


    Erson was instantly dumbfounded after seeing the sudden turn of events. He could only turn to look at Ehud as if asking thetter for an answer.


    But, it was very obvious just from Ehud''s expression alone that even if he does indeed know of the answer to Erson''s question, he wasn''t nning on telling him so that he could at least rejoice at his unfortunate situation.


    In Ehud''s mind, he thought, "You might have won the fight, but you have lost the hearts of the spectators!"


    Back inside the VIP room, Elmont and the others were also feeling the same as the majority of the spectators right now.


    "Can''t argue with you in that," Elmont nodded his head in agreement to what Leo had just said.


    "Even though I won the bet, I can''t help but think of iming my prize only after everyone finally emptied out the arena," General Luke expressed his feeling of a bit of shame for putting his bet on Erson.


    "You don''t have to worry, you can also im your prize from me," Elvisforted General Luke. This was also what he really dislike about Erson. But what can he do? Every person has their own character, especially those with capability. Since Erson was one of his loyal men, then no matter what his character is, the only thing he could do is either to ept such behavior or to act like he doesn''t know him.


    On the other hand, Darvis was sulking by the side while muttering, "My wife will definitely kill me after losing one hundred thousand gold coins! Ahhh! Why was I such a fool! I could have enjoyed such a great fight without feeling this kind of remorse and fear!"


    Hearing Darvis'' words, Leo and the others could express their silent condolences for him.


    "Since the fight is already over, then let''s get right into the main business," Leo said while looking at Elmont.


    Seeing Leo''s look, Elmont could only heave a sigh of helplessness. He was the one who had created this bet against Leo, so he obviously can''t just back out of it, especially now that he had lost. He turned to look at General Luke and saying, "I want to be alone with Brother Loki for a moment,"


    "Yes, your Highness," General Luke quickly stood up from his seat and went to Darvis and assisted thetter on leaving the room where he could then continue his sulking and regret.


    Elvis also followed along as he understood that Leo also wanted the same thing.


    The moment Elvis, General Luke, and Darvis left the room, Leo immediately activated the Istion Magic Array so that no one would be able to hear any of their words.


    This Istion Magic Array was long already present in this room, and this was invented specifically to cater to those VIP''s who are unlike them who enjoy hearing and joining in the fun of the people sitting in the spectator''s stand, which is also the main reason why they didn''t choose to activate it during the fight.


    "First and foremost, here are the five hundred thousand gold coins," Elmont handed Leo a Storage Ring, as he then quickly continued, "As for the other half of that money, I''ll send someone else to give it to youter since I didn''t really bring that much of money with me right now,"


    This was the main reason why Elmont only proposed a bet of five hundred thousand gold coins to Leo.


    "No problem, I know that Brother Elmont wouldn''t cheat me for the sake of a mere five hundred thousand gold coins," Leo replied.


    "It''s just money, not a huge matter for me at all. In fact, if I really wanted to, I could even easily take out ten million gold coins without any of the Evergreen royal family having a problem with my decision. My only concern here is the second prize," Elmont can''t help but feel a bit nervous of what Leo would be requesting from him.


    "I fully understand how you feel," Leo said. He indeed understood how exactly Elmont is feeling right now. In fact, he''s actually also feeling the same. Deep inside of him, he''s hesitating and feeling a bit nervous about whether he should say his intended request to Elmont or just change it to something else. His mind is telling him to change it to something else, but his heart is telling him to say it or else he might regret not saying it in the future. Anyways, his request wasn''t really that much. And honestly, if Elmont chooses to reject it, he won''t have a problem with it because this kind of request would be something, although not considered as life-threatening, but it would certainly be a life-changing decision.


    As for what exactly was his request from Elmont?


    Well...


    "I don''t know if this is something that a prince like you would likely to choose, but what I''m going to request from you might be something that you will not just readily ept," Leo said, obviously beating around the bush.


    "Just say it. Anyways, the final decision would still be for me to decide, just like what we have agreed from the very beginning," Elmont replied.


    "Indeed," Leo said while wearing a wryly smile on his face. That''s exactly what he is worried about, that Elmont won''t ept his request. Because once he does, then he might just lose the chance of having a Special Mage, a holder of the unique capability of Gluttony on top of that, from joining the Mischievous Lion Guild.


    Without hesitating any further, Leo said, "I would like to request from you to join the Mischievous Lion Guild and be one of the Executives,"
