Chapter 1625


    In recent years, Stanley aged, and a significant amount of power within the


    Silverbane family gradually shifted to Bobby. This shift led to ongoing.


    suppression of the Stewart family, who were constantly vignt to avoid


    drawing attention.


    In response to this frustration, Richard Stewart, the head of the Stewart


    family, spared no effort and spent arge sum of money on inviting a


    grandmaster–level expert, Aaron Miller.


    “I never expected Quinn’s younger brother to make it to the top eight!” ke


    remarked beside Hattie. He was wearing an eye patch due to serious injuries


    but was demonstrating his strong will by attending the event despite his


    condition.


    “ke, who do you think will win this match?” Hattie asked for his opinion. She


    knew that ke had previously worked with Aaron’s brother, Quinn, and


    would have a good understanding of Aaron’s strengths.

    “It’s hard to say,” ke said, furrowing his brow. “Aaron’s moves are not as


    ruthless as his brother’s, but his talent is not inferior. The organizers have


    upgraded Aaron’s rating from S- to S, proving their recognition of his strength.


    and belief in his grandmaster–level ability.”


    “In terms of moves alone, I think this match is fifty–fifty. However, the


    organizers have offered odds of 1 to 9 against Aaron, indicating they are


    certain he will lose. I think it’s safer to bet on Ruben.”


    Hattie nodded, refraining from cing a bet herself. Instead, her gaze turned


    to Mackenzie.


    Mackenzie seemed to understand without words and nced over,


    seemingly able to read Hattie’s mind. Hattie gave her a thumbs–up, their


    agreed signal for betting on Ruben, while a thumbs–down indicated Aaron.


    Mackenzie nodded.


    Since Emmanuel had already gone to the yer’s preparation area and was


    not with her, she decided to ce a bet after some consideration, her


    expression remaining stoic.

    Shane took a peek behind her, his whole body tensing as he drew in a breath.


    In the next moment, like everyone else, his attention was drawn to the two


    “Wow, 3 billion! The Silverbanes bet 3 billion on their own family’s fighter!”


    The audience erupted in excitement.


    This excitement marked the final day of thepetition and underscored


    why the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown could determine the rise or fall of


    a family.


    In the final eight, it was a gamble between families, and the organizers did


    not influence these odds; it was a fair one–for–one exchange.


    “Haha, Richard, are you bold enough to join?” Bobby provocatively challenged


    Richard through the microphone provided by the organizers. “Just admit if


    you’re too scared to fight back, and I won’t continue to bully you!”


    Chapter 1625 The Grand Showdown


    Richard, a rtively young man who appeared to be under 40, had his face


    contorted with anger and his fists clenched.


    ording to the rules, the Stewarts could admit defeat and not bet, but they

    would have to pay ten percent of the opponent’s bet.


    Not betting would mean losing 300 million for nothing, while betting could


    lead them to either win 3 billion or lose 3 billion.


    “Haha, are the Silverbanes iming they don’t bully others? They’re using


    their power to bully others, like coercing through authority!”


    Shane enjoyed the spectacle, joining in the excitement.


    On the other hand, Frederick worried for Mackenzie, knowing that this rule


    would soon apply to the Quillen family as well. The other women of the


    Quillen family also watched quietly.


    Mackenzie remained calm andposed, showing no signs of nervousness.

    Chamber of Commerce, she couldn’t let this pressure get to her. This was just


    a warm–up for the challenges toe in the future.


    “I’ll bet! The Stewart family is cing a bet!” Richard gritted his teeth and


    pressed the button. The screen representing the Stewart family disyed the


    number 3 billion. The scene erupted in excitement.


    ording to the rules, if the Stewart family had admitted defeat and not bet,


    then the Silverbanes‘ 3 billion bet would have been open to everyone in the


    audience. But no one dared to participate now that the Stewart family had


    ced a bet.


    “Mackenzie, 3 billion is not a small amount!” Beatrix, sitting next to Mackenzie,


    quietly reminded her. “Although the Stewart family has assets of over 10


    billion, spending 3 billion in liquid assets could lead to an imminent


    bankruptcy crisis!”
