- Hahaha, is this a joke? What could some rank five boy oppose me so much that I can't stand the stakes. - As if hearing the joke, the eldest of the brothers started laughing.
- Brother, don't give a damn about that puppy. He's just interfering with our trade, what can we do with him? - The younger brother entered the dialog. They seemed to have a mastery of trapping stupid and irascible people, which Kai seemed to be now.
- Big Brother Kai, you must avenge me! I know how great you are, you just have to take everything away from them! - Diso shouted.
The situation looked extremely funny as it looked like the four people were childishly arguing and slinging mud at each other. The brothers were trapping Kai and Diso at this moment, not knowing that they were being trapped.
- I'm a puppy? You got a lot of nerve talking to me like that! Here's my bet, what's it gonna be, you paupers?! - Kai shouted and loudly hit the counter and put the ring on it.
He had decided to place the spatial ring as a bet from the beginning. It was a magical item, and a rather rare one at that, it was definitely worth this retail outlet in a good neighborhood. Perhaps even more expensive, but he pretended not to realize that, luring the brothers into placing the bet.
Just as the brothers wanted to laugh, they fell silent and looked at each other, already realizing what lay on their counter....
"Where did this kid come from?" - They thought. They had hit the jackpot today, they had to find some rich idiot. Rank 5, the middle of the Cultivator, what's there to be afraid of?
- It's a nice ring, what do you want in return? What kind of item would suit you? - They didn't show their delight, they decided to play it off as indifference so as not to scare off the victim who enters their net.
- Don't take me for an idiot, your rights to the outlet, with all the merchandise! That would be equal, otherwise your beggarly endeavors don't interest me. Hahaha! - Kai said very proudly and pathetically, he was really acting like a spoiled rich boy now.
- Hmm, brother, this guy is not an idiot, he definitely knows the value of this ring... Maybe we shouldn't mess with him? - Whispering discreetly, the younger of the brothers said.
Kai's hearing was very sharp, he heard what was said. He realized that he had to finish them off or the victim would be off the hook. He started reaching for the ring.
- Ha ha. See little brother? I told you you didn't even have to worry about them, they're just paupers. Think of your four energy stones as alms for the needy. Hahah. - Laughed Kai saying that towards Diso.
At that moment, his hand was stopped by another. It was the eldest of the brothers, now glaring angrily at Kai. He wanted to crush this rich fool.
The eldest of the brothers was hesitant only because he didn't know what kind of argument this puppy would choose, he was figuring out how to provoke him into a fight... As a peak cultivator, he didn't regard Kai as an opponent at all, he just doubted this guy's other talents. He decided to force him into a fight.
- What are the terms of the bet? - Through clenched teeth, the guy said.
- What do you mean, what are the terms? I won't agree to any other terms where I can't force you into the mud, hehe. - Kai said smiling.
- So you want a fight? - A little cheerful, said the older brother.
- Naturally... - Kai answered calmly, he already realized that the hook had been swallowed completely and it was necessary to hook it.
- Well not to death, I'll leave you a chance to surrender, hahaha! - Kai laughed.
- It's on! Fight until the opponent surrenders or can't continue the fight! - The boy said in anticipation.
At that moment, the younger brother quickly went to the corner of the square. In a minute, he returned with a man in the Cloud Sphere, with a sword and shield insignia on his chest. This was the representative of the Law of Law and Order! It seemed that little brother had already explained the terms of the dispute on the way, he wouldn't dare to lie or withhold anything, so there was no need to worry about it.
- So, dispute by battle method, you need to sign the contract with your blood! - Saying that, the man calmly took out a piece of yellow paper. It seemed that witnessing disputes was also one of the duties of the members of the Law of Law and Order.
With a wave of his hand, the sheet flew to the boy's tablet, touching it, and then to Kai, doing the same and returning to the man.
- So Kai and Enan, what are the subjects and terms of the dispute? - Asked the man.
- The ring. - Said Kai.
- Possession of the trading post and all items in it. - Saying this the older brother, as it turned out named Enan took out a golden scroll and placed it on the counter next to the ring.
- Good. Kai, Anan. The spatial ring and the entire trading point are on the bet, fight until voluntary surrender or inability to continue the fight. Mark the contract with blood! - As per regulations the man said.
Kai first went to the ring and took out two black daggers from it. As he approached the contract he cut his finger and made a bloody imprint. Anan did the same.
- Please, everyone disperse! There will now be an argument by combat! - Shouted the man.
When everyone heard this, they began to quickly disperse, forming an impromptu scene in the square. It seemed to be a fairly common sight in this city. And no one feared for the destruction of the infrastructure. Since the entire city was built of solid gray stone, it seemed that even a Cloud Sphere master wouldn't be able to do any serious damage to the buildings.
- Good luck Brother Kai! - Said Diso, it was obvious that he was a bit nervous... He hadn't noticed Kai's ring before, but when he saw that he had pledged the stakes, his heart jumped.
Although Kai needed it too, he was literally risking a very expensive item in order to get a trading point for Diso. At this moment, the fatty decided, no matter what it cost him, but if they won today.... He must lead their business to unprecedented prosperity! He must repay Kai in some way!
- Don't worry fatty, you can get ready to trade, you'll have a lot of goods in addition to your shop, hehehe. - Saying that, Kai with two blades began to walk out into the center of the square.
Next to him came Enan, you could see that he was already anticipating his victory. He must have done something very good in his past life that the heavens have granted him such great luck. He thought to himself.
- Kid, I'm not going to pity you, so you better come to your senses and give up. Otherwise you might end up crippled, haha. - Enan said condescendingly.
- Yes, thank you, and I wish you the same. - Kai answered stupidly.
Anan pulled a broad saber from his belt, the blade of which was completely blue and had cloud patterns on it. It seemed that this weapon was of fairly good quality.
They were now looking at each other carefully. Both of them were carefully trapping their opponent, and they would not underestimate each other in the final stage. There was a very large stake at stake, literally one could say that each of them had bet their entire possessions. It was even incomprehensible how things had even gotten to this scale.
- Ready! You may begin! - The man from Law and Order shouted loudly.
