Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 1626
Mackenzie nodded in silence, offering no verbal response.
Hattie watched her from afar. She somewhat knew what thoughts might be
occupying Mackenzie’s mind.
What Beatrix said wasn’t the crux of the matter.
The issue was that if Eshal Silverbane won this 3 billion, the Quillen family
would entail a wager challenge from Eshal in the next match, which would
total 6 billion or more!
At that juncture, would Mackenzie accept or decline?
The atmosphere climaxed even before the competition commenced due to
the head–to–head betting between factions.
In the audience, Joe breathed a sigh of relief as the spectators‘ attention was
finally diverted.

Ring!
The bell rang, signaling the commencement of the first match of the finals as
scheduled.
Emmanuel was observing the battle from the preparation area as well.
He had previously faced off against Quinn and Ruben before.
Honestly, Ruben’s skills were slightly superior to Quinn’s, but Aaron, being

younger than his brother, possessed skills that were not inferior to his
brother’s!
Emmanuel wasn’t intimidated by the prospect of facing Ruben at all.
Moreover, his Falling Petals Palm technique was on par with Quinn’s!
Based on the rating standards set by the organizers, Emmanuel would rate
Quinn an S-, but this Aaron truly warranted an S rating!
Why did the organizers offer such significantly high odds for him?
78%量
Chapter 1626 The Poisoned Match
He possessed the potential to cause an upset, yet the organizers exhibited
no fear of such a possibility.
The showdown between the two S–level masters on stage remained evenly
matched within the first hundred moves!
“Wow, am I doomed? I should have bet on the underdog!” Shane nervously
observed the scene,
He got carried away with the removal of the upper limit today, betting the tent
million he had won over the past two days on Eshal Silverbane.
On the other hand, Frederick appeared somewhat pleased but remained
silent.
He had secretly placed a bet with 9 times odds on Aaron!

Firstly, the Quillen family and Eshal Silverbane were archenemies. As
someone with a stance, he would never support the enemy, even at the cost
of losing money.

Secondly, both were S–level. On what basis would Ruben definitely win?
Thirdly, he also wanted to recover his losses.
So, he secretly borrowed 1 million from Beatrix, intending to redeem himself.
Now, watching the two combatants fighting fiercely with no clear advantage,
to bet on the side with high odds!
a was pl
Half of the audiences present shared the same thoughts as Frederick and
Shane.
However, the next moment, the audience suddenly widened their eyes like
Frederick.
As the two clashed again, it was evident that Aaron’s vigor had significantly
waned.
On the other hand, Ruben was still able to maintain his expected standard
even though he was experiencing a slight decline in stamina.
Chapter 1626 The Poisoned Match
“How–How could this happen? Something’s amiss!” Frederick exclaimed.

Others shared his sentiments.
Is there a blatant conspiracy at play?
How can this be happening?
Emmanuel also found it peculiar but didn’t perceive it as some sinister plot.
He knew Aaron had done his best!
Mackenzie had the same thought too. With the Stewart family wagering 3
billion, why would they willingly concede another 3 billion to Eshal Silverbane
to stage this spectacle?
The couple hence concluded that the issue must lie with the two martial
artists.
Being closer to the ring than Mackenzie and possessing more vital abilities,
Emmanuel quickly pinpointed the problem–Aaron had been poisoned and
likely wouldn’t last much longer!
Chapter 1626 The Poisoned Match
On the other hand, even after his defeat, Aaron remained unconscious in the
ring, still unaware of what had transpired and why his strength had
diminished so rapidly.
“D*mn it, I’ve lost again!”
Frederick’s frustration peaked, prompting existential doubt.
I

Am I indeed cursed? Why on earth do I always lose regardless of whom I bet
on?
“You didn’t bet on the Stewart family again, did you?” Shane observed his
dismayed expression and realized he couldn’t resist placing another bet.
Frowning, he warned, “Let me tell you, if you keep this up, you’ll lose
everything!”
Beatrix, however, chimed in with a playful smile, “Didn’t you promise to repay
his debt on his behalf?”
“Well...” Shane grumbled, but he still asked Frederick, “How much do you owe
now?”
Chapter 1626 The Poisoned Match
Frederick’s expression was one of despair. “More than 6 million!”
Shane was speechless.
I wish I never knew Frederick!
How can I help him to repay? It’s more than 6 million!
Quickly, Frederick grinned and said, “Shane, can you lend me another 6
million? I’ll win in the next match!”
