Chapter 2118: Chapter 2116: Scramble

Peter Brown had a very clear understanding that in the land of the Demon Clan, weakness invites bullying; the more low-profile you are, the more likely you are to be bullied. His own family didn’t seem to be weak, and if he were weak, the family would look down upon him. Therefore, faced with Ariana’s challenge, Peter directly accepted the fight.

Up until now, Peter had always appeared weak and easily fooled. Ariana did not expect Peter to say such words in front of so many people, and she became furious on the spot, pointing at Peter and loudly saying, "Jackson Wood, I want you dead!"

"Ariana, you know that you can’t kill someone in a duel here, right?"

The arbiter looked at Ariana and said.

"I can cut off one of his arms, right? That’s at most a penalty of five thousand Devil Crystals."

"No, Ariana, it’s ten thousand Devil Crystals; he himself will receive five thousand in compensation. Of course, if you lose, the opposition can kill you, and if you wish to survive, you must also pay ten thousand Devil Crystals. I believe everyone is aware of this rule," said the arbiter.

At this point, Peter was speechless, having not expected such a rule to exist.

However, regardless of the rules, Peter had no choice but to fight.

Looking around at the audience, Peter believed that many people were looking forward to a duel with him.

This might actually be a good place to make some money!

After witnessing this situation, Peter had a new idea. Since arriving here, his need for Devil Crystals was not small, and if possible, taking this opportunity to get some Devil Crystals wouldn’t be bad.

"I want to fight!"

Ariana truly hated Jackson Wood, and she immediately expressed her desire to fight.

The arbitrator magician, however, was delighted; this kind of event was something he enjoyed seeing. Aside from the school making money, he would also receive a commission.

"Jackson Wood, Ariana has issued a challenge to you. Do you wish to accept the duel, or if not, you can pay to avoid it."

"Fight!"

Peter directly jumped onto the stage.

Upon getting closer, Peter also took a good look at this beauty and could not help but silently praise Jackson Wood. No wonder that lad wanted to flirt with this beauty; she truly had an alluring aura, beautiful enough to stir one’s heart.

Peter also wanted to relax a bit and smiled at Ariana, saying, "Your family must be quite wealthy, huh? But even if you’re rich, you shouldn’t squander money unnecessarily, right?"

"You’re courting death!"

Ariana lunged at Peter immediately.

Originally, Peter could have easily defeated his opponent, but now he did not display his strength; instead, he seemed very reluctant to fight, and often retreated in the face of her attacks.

As expected, most of the spectators were on Ariana’s side. Seeing how strong the beauty was, they were all vigorously cheering for her.

"It’s actually Ice Magic!"

After watching for a while, Peter also exclaimed in admiration. The beauty did have some talent in magic. It was just unfortunate for her that she encountered him; had it been someone else, they might not have been able to withstand her attacks.

With each of Ariana’s attacks, Peter would pretend to narrowly dodge them. After a good while, seeing that Ariana had nearly exhausted her methods, Peter feigned an inadvertent attack, which just happened to force Ariana off the stage.

The audience, who had all along thought Ariana would win and were cheering for her, had not expected Peter’s strike to make Ariana seemingly step into the void, tumbling off the stage.

"Jackson Wood wins!" The magician immediately declared Peter’s victory.

Everyone was shocked; no one expected Ariana Cantrell to fall off the stage.

"I don’t accept this!"

Ariana Cantrell then shouted loudly.

The Magician said: "Ariana Cantrell, according to the rules, you can only challenge again after a month. Today, falling off the stage means your defeat. According to the rules, not only do you have to pay ten thousand Devil Crystals, but you also have to pay an additional ten thousand to Jackson Wood, otherwise you will become his servant for a month."

To go along with the Magician’s words, Peter Brown deliberately looked Ariana Cantrell up and down, as if he would take her to bed the moment she stepped into his home.

"What are you looking at?" Ariana Cantrell was truly frustrated. She was supposed to win, but an oversight caused her to fall off the stage.

The twenty thousand Devil Crystals were transferred to the Magician.

"Jackson Wood, congratulations on your victory. The school will collect a fee of five thousand Devil Crystals, and you will receive fifteen thousand."

Seeing that the Devil Crystals were indeed transferred to him, Peter Brown also had some realization. No wonder they set the price for such duels so high; it’s to let everyone know that these matters cost a lot of money, and it’s best not to go down this path.

"I challenge Jackson Wood."

"I also challenge Jackson Wood."

In a moment, everyone was shouting loudly, demanding a challenge.

"Jackson Wood, now so many people in class are challenging you, you can request a non-combat period of one month with twenty thousand Devil Crystals. Do you agree?"

"Teacher, to help the school’s income, I still want to fight."

Ah!

Income?

Everyone looked at Peter Brown in astonishment, and the Magician teacher also blushed, saying sternly: "The choice to fight or not is yours."

Peter Brown said: "Then let’s fight. I don’t think many people can beat me."

His words once again angered the crowd; everyone was already displeased with him; naturally, several people were eager to fight.

Actually, everyone had already seen clearly that Jackson Wood was not strong; the only reason he defeated Ariana Cantrell was luck. Now, spending a bit of money for a duel was sure to be profitable, and you might even win the favor of a beauty.

Everyone had the same mentality, so challenging Jackson Wood became a popular affair.

Standing above, Peter Brown looked at the crowd competing for challenges and said to the teacher: "Teacher, since so many people are challenging, let’s collect their money first, and I’ll deal with them one by one. After all, my family is wealthy, isn’t it just spending some money? I can afford it."

The teacher was also sweating profusely, looking at Peter Brown, thinking how this kid was so annoying that everyone wanted to fight him.

However, thinking about Peter Brown’s suggestion, the teacher became tempted. After collecting the money, regardless of their situation, Jackson Wood said it himself—his family has money. With that, a lot of money would be collected.

Thinking of this, the teacher looked at Peter Brown with a questioning gaze: "Have you really decided?"

Peter Brown posed as a simpleton, patting his chest and saying: "It’s fine, I should be able to beat most of them. If I can’t win, I’ll just pay."

"Alright, everyone listen up, Jackson Wood agrees to your challenges. Now come up one by one to register and pay. Those who have paid cannot back out."

With that, those jostling people shouted to get a number in line, convinced that as long as they fought Jackson Wood, they could at least earn five thousand Devil Crystals.
