The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 3782

Since the black-robed man had said so much, there was no point in denying it, and both Marth and Lourain fell silent.

The black-robed man scoffed and said, "Though, even if you know each other, you're probably not that close. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used a hundred thousand spirit crystals to leave his bet to me."

Those words bristled with Marth. Unlike Lourain, he did not have any conflict with Fane and only followed Fane because he wanted to establish a good relationship with Fane. Alas, things did not go the way he wanted. He had taken a step back during the most important moment.

He was truthfully conflicted when Fane let the black-robed man handle the matter. On one hand, he was thankful that Fane did that since it would not expose their relationship with Fane and they would not end up being hated by the Star Continent. On the other hand, it also showed that Fane did not trust them both.

It was also possible that he saw how doubtful the two of them were and did not want to make things difficult for them. Regardless, he lost the chance to curry favor with someone strong.

The black-robed man could basically see from their expressions what they were thinking, so questions were unnecessary.

He raised an eyebrow. "I'll bet six million. Why don't we do this bet together? Since you don't trust each other, just hand the spirit crystals to me. I can sign a contract with you both too so that there will be no room for regrets."

Marth and Lourain's eyes widened. Once a contract was signed, anyone who went against it would have their soul destroyed. If the three of them signed a contract, there would be no need to get stuck on the details. There was no way to go against any contract, after all.

Normally, warriors very rarely signed any of those contracts, and some would rather die than sign it. The black-robed man, however, seemed quick to agree to sign it. In truth, that was probably the only way to solve the problem.

Thus, the three of them decided to work together and handed all the spirit crystals to the black-robed man, totaling their spirit crystals to 14 million. That was equal to one and a half pieces of purple gold, which was pitiful in comparison to Fane's bet. With another 14 million-bet, Fane's odds dropped by point zero four percent, stumbling down from 1:1.83 to 1:1.79.
