Chapter 1240 The Plan

In the span of just half a month, the number of killing points that were bet on Darren's victory in the duel had reached tens of millions. There were a number of people who wanted to place their bets, but since not everyone could afford the one million killing points, the Gambling King lowered the minimum bet to ten thousand killing points. This was the reason why so many people had joined in.

"Darren, it's been half a month, and the number of killing points that were put on you winning the fight has far surpassed that on Caleb. He is running on only a three million killing point bet on his victory," said Murphy worriedly.

"There is no need to rush." Darren smiled and said, "Master Murphy, do you still have any killing points on you? If we bet more killing points, we could make a fortune."

"Darren, don't think too far ahead. Think about how to win the battle first." Murphy shook his head, trembling with a queasy feeling in his gut.

"Don't worry about it. I have the confidence to easily win that battle. At the very least, I can guarantee that the Gambling King won't be able to play any tricks on me behind my back," Darren said boastfully.

"So, what's your plan? Now that the killing points bet on you winning the fight are many more than the bets on Caleb."

If Darren managed to win this duel, the Gambling King would lose ten times the killing points people had put in on the bet! That was to say, unless the number of killing points bet on Caleb exceeded several hundred millions, the Gambling King would play tricks behind Darren's back.

"It's not a big problem. If I get seriously injured, the people who placed bets on me will definitely be antsy about taking their money back, and thus increase the bet on Caleb."

"What are you going to do about that?"

"You'll find out pretty soon."

After Darren said this, he quickly soared off.

Later, Darren found Lindsay and asked her to summon General Kerr.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

"I have something very important that I need you to do," said Darren, very sternly as he gave Kerr the instructions.

"Yes, sir!" Kerr nodded and took his leave.

Darren then went to Murphy and asked, "Master Murphy, do you have many friends in the surrounding area?"

"Why do you ask, Darren?"

"I want to ask you to invite the warriors from the different forces to a banquet. Let's enjoy ourselves for a change."

"What the hell are you pulling here?"

"Haha, let me tell you the truth. I've arranged for one of my subordinates to attack me and seriously injure me while everyone is enjoying themselves at the banquet." Murphy immediatel

in the area.

"Today I invited all of you here to introduce Darren. He is now a nominal disciple of our Lord Starry Sword in the Starry Sword Region. I only hope that if Darren unintentionally does anything that offends you in the future, please forgive him."

He made up an excuse for holding the banquet, and it sounded reasonable.

"Haha, since he is the nominal disciple of Lord Starry Sword, we will naturally be polite to him. Please rest assured, Master Murphy."

"Don't worry, Master Murphy. Of course we will be nice to him for yours and Lord Starry Sword's sake."

"Well, I don't think that would be so necessary. Darren is set to duel some guy at the Celestial God Realm. I don't think he'll survive it."

"Nonsense! I heard that Darren could kill someone a realm higher than him. Even if the opponent were a warrior at the top level of the Celestial God Realm, when he is degraded to be at the same level as Darren, they might lose to him, more so one at the low-level of the Celestial God Realm."

People at the banquet started to have heated discussions on Darren's strength and odds at winning the duel as soon as Murphy finished his words.

"I happened to have bet on the old man named Caleb or something winning the duel. I think I can take this opportunity to attack this lad and test his real strength."

Suddenly, someone soared through the air and landed right beside Darren.

"Boy, it is said that you have the strength at the upper-level of the Star God Realm. I'm Donnelly Huang, let's fight to see if you really have the strength everyone talks about," the boastful man sneered.

"Trust me, you are not qualified to fight me. I'm afraid that one slap from me would be enough to kill you," spat Darren coldly.
