"Albert! Show them to the door!" Mason ordered in an aggressive voice.

"Yes Sir," Albert said with a bow before disappearing from the place, leaving dust in his wake before suddenly appearing behind the chubby old noble and his son, dragging them by the hand towards the exit of the room.

"NO! Please have mercy my lord! It was an honest mistake! Please have mercy!" He screamed with tears in his eyes as he was aggressively dragged on the floor along with his son.

"Why are you so stupid! I should have never brought you here! You ruined my life! You will be disowned as soon as we get home!" The chubby old man said, punching his son's scared face so hard that he lost multiple teeth.

"HOLD UP!" Moby screamed, grabbing everyone's attention.

"I like how that kid was talking! I say you should be more lenient to him, future father-in-law. We should give him another chance," Moby announced with a smile.

"Huh? So, did you have something else in mind?" Mason asked with clear curiosity and anticipation. 

'Father in law? I will be the judge of that!' Mason thought with a smile.

"I say we put his claims to the test! I propose we make a bet! If you can beat me in a fight I will forgive you and pretend like nothing happened. But, if I win, you will be kicked out of the house and give me half of your entire net worth!" Moby announced in confidence, making the crowd go silent and wide-eyed as they were not at all expecting such a proposal.

"HALF! Are you crazy! Now why would I do that!" The old man replied in anger without any hesitation at all.

"Oh! I see that you are not willing to cooperate. Or are just too pussy to accept?! Take him away and out of my sight!" Moby ordered, making Albert drag them both away once more.

"W-wait!! Fine! I agree to your terms! However, I have only one condition. I get to choose what arena the fight will be fought in!" The chubby old man said, making the entire crowd whisper amongst themselves with smirks on their faces.

"I also have another question, what is your power level? My son is at 15,160. It would not be a fair fight if one party is much stronger than the other now would it?" The old man said with a smirk.

"I am at 12,240," Moby confidently replied.

"Hahahahah! Within the 3000 power level range! It should be more or less a fair fight! I accept your offer!" The old man said with an arrogant and amused smirk, getting up from the ground, him and his even more amused son.

"Heh! I see what that sly old fox is doing!"

"Ya! That's no fair! I almost feel bad for the little kid! So naive!"

"Why don't we do a bet amongst ourselves? I can organize it! I'll put 50 grand on Leon!"

"20 grand on Leon!"

"I like rooting for the underdog and I have a lot of extra money so I will do 100 grand on the new kid!"

"Will this be okay, father in law? Will you allow this wager to go on?" Moby said, turning to Joseph with a confident smile.

"Hey! Kid! Do you understand what you are doing! Spencer's kid Leon has been undefeated in the small ring arenas for the past 5 years! His Ability is too good for the environment! You don't stand a chance! Even people with a power-level higher than him still lost in the smaller Arenas! I recommend that you retract your statement! It will be slightly embarrassing but trust me when I say that the embarrassment will multiply if you challenge him and lose after talking so big! Trust me, this is for your own good! Don't be a greedy and naive child! I expected better from my daughter's boyfriend," Mason whispered in his ears trying to convince him to stop the match.

"Hahaha! It's okay, father in law! I have confidence that I am going to win!" Moby whispered back with a bold smirk.

"Fine! But it's your funeral! I wanted to test out your strength in battle and your personality and arrogance so this is a good way for me to do it!" Mason replied back with slight annoyance that his advice was being ignored.

"Attention everyone! I, Mason Griffith will authorize this wager!" Mason announced to the crowd making them roar in excitement. 

"I will now announce the rules! This will be a 1 vs 1 fight that will take place in one of the many arenas I have in my estate that will be chosen by Spencer and his Son according to the agreed-upon bet. Each fighter will be given standard none magical equipment from my personal armoury as to make the fight as fair as possible! The fight will have no time limit and have no ring outs. The victor will be decided when the opposite party is unable to fight! I will personally be the referee of this match so don't try cheating or any underhanded tactics or else I will shove… Sorry, I meant I will show you the door and never allow you to enter my mansion again and I will make it a promise and a mission to myself to ruin you for the rest of your life! Does anyone have any questions?" Mason announced in a serious voice, making the entire room go silent.

"Also! As for those setting up bets, I have no gripes with that. That's always how things have functioned in my house. But, and that's a big But. If something goes wrong or you lose all your money, don't come crying to me!" Mason said, making the crowd nervous before making them really happy and excited once again.

"Spencer, which arena do you choose?" Mason asked with a serious look in his eyes.

"Arena E2," Spencer replied with confidence.

"Hahahhaha! Of course! As expected!"

"You guys betting on the underdog are stupid! Leon has never lost in that arena!"

"Hey! Don't call me stupid! I am just betting for the underdog for fun!"

The crowd started to whisper amongst themselves.

"The match will start in 30 minutes! Please follow Ryan, he will lead you to Arena E2 where you will patiently wait for the match to start," Mason said, pointing at Jayden's butler who was standing straight as an arrow beside the main door.

"As for our two competitors, follow Albert who will lead you to the armoury to choose your preferred weapons and armour. That will be all!" Mason said before sitting back down at his seat to take a breather.

"You two! Follow closely behind me!" Albert said to Moby and Leon as he exited through one of the side doors of the dining hall.

"Hey! Moby! Are you really sure this?" Jayden asked Moby with concern in her voice, using mind-link.

"Ha! Please have no fear! It might seem like I have a clear disadvantage but trust me when I say that I know what I am doing! I did my research..." Moby replied with confidence.

"Oh! Also! Bet all your money on me! Ask your dad for 1 year in allowance extra or something and put it all on me! You too Abby and Alex! Bet as much as you can on me! Trust me when I say that we will be filthy rich!" Moby said with a comically evil laugh.

"Okay, we'll do it! But you better win or else I will make you owe me all the money I am betting and more!!" Alex said in a playful tone.

"Same here!" Jayden agreed.

"I am sorry my lord but I only have $500, will that be enough?" Abby nervously asked.

Everything was going exactly as planned, his entire family agreed to bet on him, the underdog. 

At this rate, he might be able to win 500,000 to 1,000,000 dollars from 1 fight alone which made him really excited.

The entire way to the armoury, Leon, Moby's opponent kept on talking shit about him and about how much he was going to beat the shit out of him which started to really get on his nerves.

"Hey! Whatever your name is stop ignoring me! Am I really that intimidating?! Why won't you even tell me your name!? Don't think that by hiding it, it will save you some face when you lose! Just watch me! I am going to beat the shit out of you in front of everyone, including Jayden making her see how much better I am than you! Then, I will pipe her from the back so hard while making you watch as my little new pet dog! Giving me another chance was the wors…"

"Can you please be quiet…" Moby said, interrupting him with an ominous smile, a vein bulging out from his forehead, his eyes glowing purple and staring straight into Leon's soul, sending shivers down his spine for a split second as his body was telling him that whatever he planned to do was a bad idea only for it to fade away in the next moment.

'I don't get paid enough to babysit people like this…' Albert thought with a long sigh.

"Heh! You don't scare me!" Leon kept following Albert like nothing happened until they finally reached the armoury.

The room was gigantic, filled with many different weapons and armour lined up in rows and shelves for as far as the eye could see.

As Moby looked around at the various armour and weapons, he noticed that a lot of them looked really strong and cool which really existed Moby. However, when he used his energy sense to check if there was any special or magical armour, it came back with 0 results which slightly disappointed him.

'Damn, all of this armour is standard armour… I am scared to find out how the actual magical armoury looks like…' Moby thought, slowly inspecting all of the weapons and armour to see what he would choose. 

"Listen up you two! You will only have 20 minutes to choose and try on any armour you want! If the time is up and you didn't find anything I'll find one myself and make you wear it!" Albert told the two who were still inspecting the armour, making them nod in understanding. 

25 minutes later, Arena E2…

"LAST CALL TO MAKE A BET! Leon or the new kid! Place your bets now before it's too late!" The person collecting all the bets screamed to the masses who were all having a cheerful conversation before Mason started talking, making everyone go silent.

"Attention everyone! It's the moment you've all been waiting for! The Fighters have finally arrived!" Mason announced making the entire crowd cheer, sitting in an upper stand with his and Alex's family, along with Abby, and spencer who had an evil smirk on his face.

"On the left we have the undefeated champion of the small E2 arena! Leon Dave!" The crowd roared cheering as he entered the small arena, hands in the air in celebration like he already won.

"Hey! Kid! You better win! I bet good money on you!"

"Hahahaha! What are you even worried about! This is a guaranteed victory!"

"Kick his ass, Leon!"

"And! On the right side, we have my sweet little daughter's boyfriend, Moby Kane!" Mason announced, making the crowd go silent and whisper.

"W-wait! Come to think of it it's my first time hearing his name… What family does he come from? Kane? Have you ever heard of that?"

"Nope, never have… Maybe it's some sort of new upcoming family…"

"WAIT! I recognize his name! Moby Kane! One of the most hated guys in military school Z-7! I heard rumours say that he was an orphan F rank that was taken by Jayden Griffith as a pet, not a boyfriend! Also, I heard rumours say that he got a new ability from the exam and that's how he got to B- rank! That man is a fake! A lucky, filthy F rank orphan and nothing more!" A young man in the audience said, making the rest of the crowd roar in outrage.

However, before the crowd got too riled up, Jayden interrupted, standing up and addressing the crowd bellow with extreme rage in her voice.

"Who the fuck said that! You are lucky that I don't have your tongue chopped and fed to the dogs! He's not a fake! He is my boyfriend! If anyone dares to talk shit like this again be prepared for me to make your worst nightmare become your reality! That's all! You may now continue!" Jayden screamed, making the entire crowd go silent.
