Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Chapter 1601 1596: The Stake

Otherwise, they probably wouldn't easily take action against the Fraser Family.After all, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse; once the Fraser Family decides to fight to the death with them,

facing a family with assets worth tens of billions and resources that could shock hundreds of billions of US Dollars, anyone would need to be cautious. A slight misstep could trigger an incredibly terrifying financial crisis.

Therefore, the battle between Su Chen and Towas now holds extraordinary significance.

No matter who wins between the two, the loser's fate will likely be extremely miserable.

However, Su Chen has never worried about this aspect. Lose to Towas?

He's never thought that a High Rank Saint would be enough to beat him.

Moreover, Su Chen is confident that as long as Bic doesn't intervene, defeating and even killing Towas and Master Gray one against two would be a piece of cake!

From Bic, Su Chen senses an aura similar to Barney.

If nothing unexpected happens, Bic is likely also a wizard-like figure.

Even if not, he probably has untangleable connections with wizards.

...

The doors of the boxing arena closed with a bang. At this moment, everyone in the arena, except for Janet and Allen who were there for the spectacle, had a stake in this match.

Whether or not Su Chen can defeat Towas will determine the fate of the Eight Great Families of the United Consortium!

This is no exaggeration. If Su Chen easily loses to Towas, would Master Gray just watch from the sidelines?

No, even if Su Chen defeats Towas, Master Gray won't just stand by.

Therefore, from the beginning of this match, its outcome was already destined.

When Su Chen stepped into the boxing arena, it meant he was ready to fight two at once.

If he harbors any illusions, he would not be qualified as a Holy Realm Martial Artist!

"How do you want to compete?" Towas asked in a muffled voice.

This is his home ground, and he has a psychological advantage when facing Su Chen.

Moreover, he knows that if he cannot withstand Su Chen, Master Gray will definitely not sit by.

Because at least for now, he and Master Gray are in the same boat, and in such critical moments, he doesn't believe Bic would just sit still.

Therefore, when Su Chen walked in here, it was almost equivalent to facing three Holy Realm Martial Artists; even Towas couldn't evaluate Su Chen.

Whether you say he's bold because of skill or simple-minded, now he has no extra choice!

"Any way is fine, but the loser must accept the corresponding punishment," Su Chen said.

"Punishment?" Towas's eyes flashed with a peculiar light.

"Yes, let's temporarily set aside the compensation your Seven Great Families owe the Fraser Family. We need some stakes when the two of us fight, don't you think?" Su Chen asked kindly.

"Alright, then let's set a stake. If I lose, this boxing arena will be yours," Towas said.

But Su Chen shook his head at him.

Towas's expression darkened: "What, you think it's not enough?"

Su Chen still shook his head, but this time he took out something: "You must understand the value of this thing, right?"

What Su Chen took out was nothing other than the 'Sword Fragment' he unexpectedly obtained from Song Xiaotian.

The special aura emanating from the Sword Fragment, as a Saint, he's still sensitive to Ancient Weapons. Towas's pupils constricted when he saw the Sword Fragment in Su Chen's hand.

Ancient Weapons are rare in the world, but each has immense power.

Even a Martial Artist in the Extraordinary to Saint Realm, armed with an Ancient Weapon, can contend with a Holy Realm Martial Artist.

The sharpness of Ancient Weapons is evident.

Though the Sword Fragment in Su Chen's hand is just a fragment of an Ancient Weapon, its value is hard to estimate.

If other parts could be found, remaking it might recreate it as a sharp blade!

Towas also understood why Su Chen kept shaking his head at the stakes he suggested.

After all, the value of a Sword Fragment from an Ancient Weapon is immeasurable.

Not to mention just a single boxing arena, even if someone proposed to gamble with ten boxing arenas, he'd still disdain it.

An Ancient Weapon fragment!

Even Master Gray showed greedy eyes, unexpected that Su Chen would still have such good stuff!

But regrettably, now it's Towas who's betting against Su Chen, not him, but only Towas can bet with Su Chen.

Towas stared at the Sword Fragment in Su Chen's hand for a moment, then spoke: "Since you use it as a stake, I, Towas, am not petty either."

Towas took off an ornament from his neck.

A silver cross was displayed in front of Su Chen: "This Holy Cross was awarded to me for merit while serving in the Glory Knights. It is blessed by the Lord, has strong defensive ability, and can withstand a full-force strike from a Saint Realm Peak strongman. If you win, it's yours."

A small, simple silver Holy Cross was taken out by Towas, and this cross had been with him for over ten years.

The Archbishop who awarded him this cross passed away, and at that time, he was just a minor character in the Knight Order.

Now he's a High Rank Saint, a cross that can withstand a full-force strike from a Saint Realm Peak strongman still holds considerable value for him.

But compared to a fragment of an Ancient Weapon, the allure of the cross is much less for Towas.

Thus, he didn't hesitate to take out the cross pendant as a stake to bet with Su Chen for an 'exchange.'

Withstand a full-force strike from a Saint Realm Peak strongman?

Su Chen did not pay much attention to this point.

Because he simply does not take the threat of Holy Realm Martial Artists to heart, but while he can disregard a full-force strike from a Saint Realm Peak martial artist, it doesn't mean those around him are fearless of Holy Realm Martial Artists.

So he's fairly satisfied with this stake.

"Alright, how about leaving the items with this friend? Whoever wins takes both items." Su Chen pointed to Janet.

Su Chen's proposal was not opposed by Towas, and among the crowd present, Janet's identity was most suitable for this task.

After all, whether in the hands of Jesse Fraser or people from the Seven Great Families like Bic,

Towas and Su Chen would not be assured.

Janet is different. Her presence here was entirely accidental, and her identity is unique. By letting her act as the arbitrator, both Su Chen and Towas can accept it.

Janet was also quite surprised by this but soon gladly agreed.

Because with her identity, there's no one more suitable for this task, and besides, she wants to see how this arrogant Easterner Su Chen will fall under Towas's iron fist!
