Nobilis of War novel Chapter 136

When Colin and Lino heard the voice of the Holy Lord, both of them were utterly confused. How could the Holy Lord give her consent?

After a while, Lino turned to Colin with an inconceivable expression. He walked over to Colin and asked, "Why do you think this is happening? I only just reported what happened to Darren to the Holy Lord. I did not expect that she would make such a decision. A pretty hasty decision, if you ask me."

Colin knew how strong Darren was, but never, in a million years, did he expect that their Holy Lord would get on board with such a huge bet. He knew that Darren was thinking the same thing, so he turned to Darren and said, "Come on. You and I should go and see our Holy Lord so that we can have a proper discussion before making a decision."

Darren nodded in agreement. Lino also found himself on the same page as the two. They all knew how important it was that they should talk to the Holy Lord in person about this case.

"Everyone, we need to meet our Holy Lord to discuss the bet in detail. Please wait here for a moment," Colin said to the chiefs.

The chiefs could not help but be surprised at what they heard. Did they really want to discuss the bet with the Holy Lord? Why on earth would they do that? Was there actually a possibility that they would approve the bet? Was there anything they were counting on?

As they thought of all the things that could go wrong, the chiefs' worries started to grow.

But they had already spoken out, and there was no way they were going to show that they were frightened by their opponent. Besides, even though their opponent was strong, he was still only a young man less than twenty years old. They might just be trying to find an excuse to change the bet!

"Humph! Fine! Go ahead and discuss it. But we're only going to wait for you for three quarters of an hour, not a minute more," the representative of the Ancient Families replied.

At once, Colin and Lino grabbed Darren and flew up into the sky towards the deep area of the palace.

"What? Why did they take that young man with them?" The chief of the Yu Clan said as he furrowed his eyebrows, apparently upset.

"Mr. Yu, are you frightened? You look very worried. Is it because you think that the young man from your clan is not strong enough, or are you just so timid that you are actually worried about that young lad?" The chief of the Ji Clan sneered upon seeing the serious expression on the chief of the Yu Clan's face.

"Shut up! I am just worried that the Holy Lord wouldn't dare to make the bet!" the chief of the Yu Clan retorted.

"Hah! If that is the case, then it's okay. Actually all of us should know that the Holy Lord would never agree to the bet. So they will change the bet. If that happens, we can blackmail them greatly. At that moment, the one who has the best skills will benefit the most."

"Of course! It all makes sense now. If the Holy Lord does agree to the bet, does that mean they're going to send us their inheritable magic item for free? Who will even be stupid enough to do that? So, that way, we can fool the Holy Lord into betting millions of ink stones! That will be enough for each and every one of our young people! Ha-ha!"
