Chapter 223: Chapter 147: Loving Father, Filial Son (2)_3

The Duke’s face had gone green, and just thinking about that scene gave Bernard goosebumps.

It seemed like his father was planning to send Carol over to the Hero, probably within the next couple of days.

Bernard withdrew his gaze, "Carol, you seem to trust the Hero quite a lot, huh? However, you might be overthinking it. Although I also despise my elder brother, his talent and strength are, without a doubt, formidable."

Carol sneered disdainfully and said no more.

In fact, in the Duel Arena, almost everyone shared Bernard’s opinion—no one believed Qin Chu could win. The gap in strength between the two was simply too great.

The Prince publicly revealed his level was Level 75.

The Hero, on the other hand, had a publicly announced Level of 47. His most notable achievement was defeating Horn, who was Level 60, and that seemed to be through a surprise attack as well.

Keep in mind, the higher the level, the greater the gap between each one becomes.

Although the Prince had several wine bottles smashed over him by Qin Chu at the banquet, that was just Qin Chu’s unscrupulous surprise attack that had momentarily stunned the Prince.

Once the Prince was prepared, Qin Chu would have no opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

At some point, the direction of the discussions on-site had changed, and even the betting odds had shifted. Instead of betting on who could win, the question had become how long the Hero could hold out against the Prince.

"I’ll bet one thousand mana that the Hero can last five minutes."

"Are you joking? That is the Prince we’re talking about, Level 75, while the Hero is only Level 47. A gap of twenty-eight levels is practically impossible to withstand for that long. Besides, I’ve heard that the Hero has even stolen the Prince’s fiancée; she’s currently staying in the Hero’s palace. They might already be romantically involved. Just think about how the Prince must feel. He must absolutely loathe the Hero. Once the fight starts, I reckon it’s going to be like a fierce storm. Under those circumstances, I bet the Hero won’t last even a minute. I’ll also bet one thousand, three seconds..."

"You should never be too certain with your words. Of course, I’m not saying the Hero could win, but have you ever heard of a cat toying with a mouse? I feel the Prince might not defeat the Hero so quickly. Maybe he will toy with the Hero for a while to make him lose all face in front of so many people. I bet half an hour..."

"Heh heh, I don’t see it that way. I believe the Prince will use his overwhelming strength and finish the Hero in one blow. I’ll bet five hundred, one second..."

In the preparation room, Qin Chu sat quietly on the chair, resting with his eyes closed.

Angelica, Violet, Catherine, Asina, and Antasia were all with him.

The soundproofing here wasn’t very good, and the noise from outside penetrated Angelica’s ears clearly, which annoyed her quite a bit.

"Angelica, there’s no need to get angry over those people. Everyone is just looking for entertainment..." Qin Chu stretched his arms lazily.

"However, if absolutely no one bets on my victory, it would indeed be somewhat embarrassing for me."

"Though it’s true my level isn’t as high as the Prince’s, having been under Asina’s guidance for the past three days and nights, I do have a bit of confidence."

Asina’s pretty face flushed slightly, and she glared at Qin Chu irritably.

"So let’s have a little fun as well, a small bet to lighten the mood..."

"Angelica, go to the betting counter and place a bet. Just a symbolic gesture, not too much..."

"One billion should do!!"
