When everyone was laughing, Stallon looked at Darryl with a strange smile. "You really want to compete against me?"
Stallon's eyes were full of contempt.
'That young man looks thin and weak. He is simply looking for trouble to compete against me!'
Darryl smiled faintly and asked, "Why? Is there anything wrong? Mayor Hunter said earlier that it is not a real battle but only for entertainment. Winning or losing is not important as long as we enjoy the process!"
Many people laughed at Darryl's innocent remark.
'How interesting! He said that winning or losing is not important, so it seems that he has absolutely no confidence in winning.'
"Well said! Just enjoy the process!"
Kelly nodded approvingly at Darryl and said with a smile, "This warrior is brave to accept Stallon's challenge. You all shouldn't laugh! Now, get started!"
Kelly was impressed by Darryl's calm composure.
Everyone stopped talking after the Prince's sister commented on it.
"Your Excellency!"
Then, Hunter stood up slowly and said respectfully to the Prince, "A competition on its own is no fun. Shall I introduce a bet?"
"Yes." The Prince nodded with interest. "What bet would you place?"
Darryl's guess was correct. The Prince was incompetent, and he indulged in pleasure-seeking activities all day long. He was an avid gambler, and Hunter's proposal to place a bet immediately caught his interest.
Hunter nodded and looked at Dominic with a strange smile. "Dominic, that is your follower, right? If he loses, he would be my slave, and you would have to give me a thousand gold coins. Do you dare to accept my bet?" The Roland Continent's currency was calculated with gold coins. A thousand gold coins was definitely not a small amount.
Hunter trusted Stallon's ability. He was sure that the man would win the competition, so he took the opportunity to make a fool of Dominic.
Dominic's face turned sullen. 'F*ck! Hunter is a b*stard! He is trying to embarrass me in public.'
Even though Mister Darryl was a descendant of Master Franklin, he was not Stallon's opponent in terms of brute strength.
The crowd watched excitedly.
"What do you think?"
