Everybody was surprised when Simon agreed to such an unfavourable bet.
In their minds, he had a lot to lose than to win.
If he lost, he would have to pay five thousand merits and he would also have to battle five elites of their class in a life and death battle.
The five thousand merits was a lot of money and many wondered if he would even be able to pay it at all.
But the bigger risk was the life and death battle.
How could Simon risk his life so easily and calmly?... Many wondered.
But what these people didn't know was that in this situation, Simon was a bookie, and a bookie always set the odds in their favour.
"How are we certain that you won't run away from the life and death battle? You can refuse to participate if you lose." Jorra asked with slightly narrowed eyes.
This was what he was truly worried about.
