Chapter 190: I shouldn't be a Parasite!
"Sister... Senior sister, you should see this." A lady disciple of the healing sun peak hurriedly reached Sophia, who was brewing a potion in a big cauldron.
"What is it?" Sophia asked without moving her gaze from the cauldron.
"First, see this... Your brother and sect disciple, Kent, were in the arena. Kent asked your brother not to interfere in your love if he wins the fight." Taking heavy breaths, the disciples explained. She is gasping for air because of her hurriedness.
The fire under the cauldron exhausted in the next second as Sophia stopped everything and snatched the glass orb to see what is going on.

In front of the whole crowd, Zi Chen stood like a statue. Without knowing it, he fell into his own trap. The act of mocking Kent all turned around as he became the center of mockery and ridicule.
Even though he felt like punching Kent on the spot, he is bound by Arena rules and the presence of Lady Arbiter. The commotion died down among the crowd, and everyone is waiting for Zi Chen's answer.
As the question related to Chen family personals, many people took out glass orbs to record what Zi Chen is going to say. The lady arbiter placed the wand before Zi Chen, indicating him to answer Kent's question.
Zi Chen glared angrily at Kent, and anger is evident on his face. Releasing a heavy breath, Zi Chen controlled his emotions.
"Will you stop following my sister like a dog if you lose this fight?" Zi Chen asked, ignoring the crowd.
"Sorry, I can't do that. Your sister stuck to me like a love gum. No one can separate us." Kent replied immediately with a dramatic expression. The crowd erupted into laughter after hearing his answer.
"How dare you..." Zi Chen took out a spear in anger. But before he took a step, the arbiter raised the wand and placed it against Zi Chen's face as a threatening gesture.
To ease up the tension, the lady turned towards Larry, who is a gambler for Zi Chen. "Hey Larry, are there any special offers for betting against your master?" The lady asked, pointing at Larry, who stood at a long distance.
Larry shook his head with a cursing gaze. Somewhere in his heart, he believed that Zi Chen had a chance to lose. That's why he didn't dare to gamble and lose thousands of spirit stones.
With a disappointed sigh, the lady turned towards Fatty Ben, who stood on the opposite side. "Hey, fat guy... You seem to be shouting 1:3 every time. Will you dare now?" The lady asked in a husky tone with a bit of mischief.
Fatty's gaze turned towards Kent. But Kent stood seriously and didn't gesture anything to Fatty.
"Tsk... Tsk... I thought the gambling of a divine justice fight would break all records in Arena. It seems like it's not going to happen. What a disappointment!" The lady spoke dramatically, addressing the crowd.
Gritting his teeth, Fatty went inside the gambling room. "If I can't trust my master, what is the use of being a golden root? I shouldn't be a parasite. I must trust and support the master." Fatty's thoughts stirred as he clenched his fists. He leaned close to the magic circle in the gambling room and began speaking in a serious tone.
"I, the Golden Rat, heir to the Stoke family, rank 1 gambler of syndicate, am offering 1:5 returns to this divine justice match. My master may be low in cultivation. But he is not someone, any Tom, Dick, or Harry could bully. If anyone of you dares to question the honor of my master, get ready to lose your wealth."
Fatty's voice turned emotional in the end, and tears stirred in his eyes. He directly fell back on his seat, and his body is shackling for an unknown reason.
"Is he crying?" Kent thought.
But no one in the Arena is in the right mind to care about Fatty. The words of 1:5 created tremors among the crowd. It is a 99.9% losing match for Kent, in everyone's opinion. So, no one could believe Fatty's announcement. Even the lady in the Arena hesitated to announce the same.
