Chapter 1052: Reaction!

"Hey, system, remove the temporary expansion effect," Aakesh requested of the system since there was no longer any need for the effect to continue.

The next moment, a blue light swept over the store's insides, and in no time, the store returned to normal.

Aakesh then waved his hands: the platform disappeared, and the pill counter appeared with the rule board.

***

While the store was busy returning to normal, the people outside the store were still shell-shocked by what they saw.

Forget the battle, just the ability to let the beasts battle to their full potential without any fear of death was something unimaginable to the likes of the majority in Thorr City.

"I still can't believe that I saw that competition without paying anything," Furor exclaimed.

"You are right. It's incomprehensible, and here we were treating the store owner as some evil, notorious personality," Roran replied, nodding to his friend.

Furor and Roran were only two of the several people having such thoughts.

"How much did you win?" Furor suddenly asked since Roran went to the platform to receive the difference amount while Furor went there to pay.

A wide smile spread across Roran's face when he heard his friend. He didn't reply to the question, but the smile on his face explained that he had won big.

Favan was gasping for breath as he finally returned to his house. After leaving the store, he ran at full speed and didn't stop for even a moment till he reached home.

As for why Favan acted like this, the bulging pouch tied to his waist was the reason.

Favan untied the pouch and then emptied its content on his bed. The next moment, a mountain of shining stones appeared, blinding his eyes.

An awestruck expression was visible on his face. It suddenly turned solemn, and he turned around.

After seeing that the door to his house was locked, he breathed a sigh of relief. The wondrous expression reappeared after he returned his focus to the mountain of stones.

There were more than a thousand people in the crowd who bet, and out of them, Favan was the only one who won on all his bets.

Many also won on all bets, but they bet on both sides, playing conservatively, but that wasn't the case for Favan.

He made a successful bet on William and then never stopped being correct.

On William, he bet five hundred lesser Sacred stones, a chunk of his net worth.

The gain from William awarded him ninety-five stones. The win from the bet seemed to awaken the risky side of Favan.

In the second final battle, Favan bet his entire wealth, only keeping a week's worth of stones for entry into Panagea. He bet all his savings on Bratty, going with his gut feeling.

Bratty had the betting odds of 2.01, rewarding Favan with more than what he bet.

At that time, Favan had become wealthier than ever. For the third stage, after the betting odds came, Favan became even riskier.

He divided the combined sum of his winnings and the wealth he had into four parts and then equally distributed it among the four bets.

At that time, Favan had taken a risk he could never take back, and he finally understood it when the battle between Ayriel and Elwynn began.

The consequences of losing the bet eventually hit him, making him restless.

Fortunately for him, his heavenly luck only seemed to be starting, and he won one bet after another.

In the end, he was the only one on the list to bet on all battles and win all of them without being conservative in betting.

His heart was beating like a rumbling cloud when he saw the wealth of several ordinary Sacred stones.

If not for the loan from his mother, he would have had to stop entering Panagea long ago. But now he wouldn't need to worry about it anymore. Just the amount he earned from today's competition was enough for him to enter Panagea for years without any worries.

Favan couldn't help but become even more grateful toward the store and more respectful toward the store owner.

Before knowing about the store, he was only a street vendor who didn't have enough to cultivate, but after learning about the store, he was growing stronger every day through Panagea.

Favan's level in Panagea was nothing in comparison to his actual strength in the Sacred Dimension, but there, he was not only leveling up but also earning at a faster rate than he ever could in the Sacred Dimension.

"How are you?" Riddley asked Fidel after returning.

Even though Fidel was acting fine, Riddley could see that he wasn't since the battle between William and him.

Fidel wasn't one to lose his mind over a battle loss, or he would have long become serious after losing to her thousands of times.

A wry smile appeared on Fidel's face as the scene of the Suleon crushing the Shadow Hunter's head repeatedly flashed in his head.

Fidel would have stopped thinking about it, but he sensed the Shadow Hunter's condition. It was also affecting him.

***

"If you care about dignity, then become stronger," Riddley reprimanded the Shadow Hunter for acting like this.

"Now, stop brooding and act like a strong creature should," Riddley added and then left the room.

The Shadow King Wyrm had its entire back wet with sweat as Riddley left it in the room with the Shadow Hunter alone when it was feeling down.

The wyrm still remembered the mocking expression it had made toward the hunter after losing.

The Shadow Hunter also remembered it, so after only the two of them were left in the room, it looked at the wyrm.

A grin spread across the hunter's face as it slowly proceeded toward the wyrm.

The wyrm took steps back in fright, but soon, it found the wall blocking its way.

The wyrm could break the wall and leave, but it found its owner to be even more dangerous than the Shadow Hunter, so it willingly stepped forward.

The Shadow Hunter vowed to get stronger and beat the Suleon one day while punching the wyrm and venting its anger.

The hunter's mood got better and better as the venting was also for all the wyrms bullying him in front of Riddley.
