Merrick plunged five thousand magic stones at once, not because he believed Duke could win, but simply to support Duke, as well as to support Black Sail.
For him, he didn't expect to get back these five thousand magic stones, much less make money from it.
In the audience of the gladiatorial arena, many people's eyes flickered, looking at the tempting odds on Duke's side, feeling restless.
"Let's take a gamble!" someone gritted their teeth, got up, and quickly went to find the arena's people to borrow money.
There were not few such people. Some thought that Duke was bound to lose, so they bet a lot of magic stones on Bell, intending to earn a little money.
But there were also some who, with a gambling mindset, placed a significant bet on Duke.
Vivian bet one thousand magic stones on the ticket, all of it on Duke.
She was different from Merrick. Merrick did not believe Duke could win, while Vivian believed Duke was sure to win.
