The manager was trying to make sure that Zayn would meet his end during the next Colosseum Challenge.
He used the Artifact of the God's Era museum as bait while restricting him from continuously betting for his own victory.
After all, if Zayn won another bet with a high multiplicator it would ruin the Colosseum's business. Betting on an Artifact was much more secure, especially with the increased danger Manager Tilan had proposed. Manager Tilan was 100% certain that Zayn wouldn't be able to escape the next battle alive.
Of course, Zayn had been hoping to fight the Chimera. It was his plan from the beginning!
Manager Tilan didn't even know that he fell right into Zayn's trap, but he could continue being oblivious.
"The crippled Chimera?" Zayn enquired, continuing to fake his confusion.
"Exactly, the crippled Chimera would be your next opponent!" Manager Tilan answered, smiling gently at Zayn.
