Do You Dare to Bet!?

Ian handed the [Translation Konjac] to the two of them.

Although at this moment, Aimina and Eluna are, respectively, a soul and an illusion.

However, both of them possess the ability to perceive things.

You can enjoy all the delicious food.

Not to mention [Translation Konjac].

The two were not worried and quickly ate the [Translation Konjac] after receiving it.

"So, can you understand our language now?"

Ian asked.

At this moment, the surrounding noise that Aimina and the other person could hear gradually became clearer.

Even the conversations of people bustling about in the hall not far away could be heard by them, and they could understand their meaning very clearly.

It's like... returning to the bustling Gandor Dynasty of yesteryear.

"I understood it completely... What an amazing gadget."

Eluna pointed to the crowd bustling about in the hall preparing for the banquet, glancing at Ian with undisguised surprise on her face.

"It's good that you can understand it..."

Ian smiled, then pulled over Uvogin, Chrollo, and the others beside him, pointed them out to Eluna and the others, and grinned.

"You haven't forgotten your promise, have you?"

Ian's gaze became more serious as he spoke.

"These are my companions. I hope that you two will completely impart to us the knowledge about Nen Ability from the Gandor Dynasty era."

"This is our agreement, so there's naturally no problem."

Aimina nodded calmly, while Eluna, standing beside her, glanced at Chrollo, Uvogin Nobunaga, and the others, a hint of disappointment flashing in her dark eyes as she pouted.

"I thought your companion was like you..."

"Judging from this, their abilities are quite mediocre..."

Eluna's words caused a slight change in everyone's expression.

Ian frowned slightly and gave the other person a deep look.

"Eluna, shut up."

Aimina turned around and glared at Eluna, but only scolded her for talking nonsense; she didn't refute Eluna's words.

"Ian, who are these two guys? They're so arrogant!"

Uvogin was naturally indignant at being evaluated in this way, feeling completely looked down upon!

Nobunaga frowned slightly but said nothing more.

Chrollo, standing to the side, remained calm, but after observing the two women a few times, he was secretly surprised. In his perception, these two were... very strong...

"Hey, while I admit you guys have some skill, to openly mock us like this... aren't you being a bit too arrogant!"

Beside Franklin, Feitan glanced coldly at the two women and spoke in a chilling voice.

Pakunoda, Machi, and the others remained silent, choosing to observe for the time being.

Further away, Illumi and Milluki, standing beside Tsubone, also heard Eluna's words.

Illumi curiously pointed at the other person and asked Tsubone, who was standing next to him.

"Tsubone, is that guy very strong?"

Milluki, standing to the side, also pricked up his ears, listening curiously.

He had assumed these two beautiful women from other races were Ian's girlfriends, but judging from the current situation, it seems to be a misunderstanding!

Tsubone observed the two women, and the more he observed, the more alarmed he became.

"Illumi, if Young Master Ian agrees, you may have the opportunity to ask them about Nen..."

Upon hearing Tsubone's words, Illumi understood.

It seems the opponent is exceptionally strong...

Ian took a deep breath and said to Uvogin and Feitan beside him.

"Uvogin, Feitan, calm down..."

Then, he looked at Eluna and said expressionlessly.

"Since you put it that way, what do you think their qualifications were like during the Gandor Dynasty?"

Eluna glanced at Ian, then shook her head and sighed.

"Don't blame me for being blunt, but although I don't know the Nen users in your era, their talent probably wouldn't even crack the second tier in the Gandor Dynasty..."

She raised a slender finger and gently tapped it on her chin. After a moment of contemplation, she smiled slightly.

"Probably... around 50,000 people..."

Uvogin and the others' expressions changed slightly. Although they didn't know where the number of 50,000 people came from, there was no doubt that this was implying that they were insignificant!

The key is that what the other party said sounded so convincing that it was hard not to believe them.

The others are unaware.

But Ian knew the inside story.

He looked at Aimina; compared to the somewhat overly lively Eluna, Aimina was clearly more composed and reliable in her speech.

Aimina noticed Ian's gaze, understood his meaning, and nodded slightly.

It seems...

Eluna wasn't talking nonsense...

Considering that the Gandor Dynasty had over 400,000 Nen users.

Those ranked outside the top 50,000, while still among the elite, certainly don't qualify as top-tier, no matter how much they try to deceive themselves...

But.

Ian wasn't too worried about it.

So what if I lack talent and aptitude!?

With Doraemon's gadgets at his disposal, even if he were to force Uvogin and Chrollo to have cheat codes, he could still turn them into top-tier seed players!

After taking a deep breath, Ian said calmly.

"It's alright. If they lack talent... that's their problem. You just need to focus on teaching them diligently..."

"However, I don't think my companion is as... mediocre as you say?"

Ian chuckled when he said the last word.

"How about we make a bet?"

"I don't know what your standards of judgment were during the Gandor Dynasty..."

"But you once said that Kim, Netero, and I were roughly at Sashado's guard level, right?"

Aimina and Eluna nodded.

"That's right, reaching the level of Father's Imperial Guard is already a top-tier talent..."

"Smack!"

Ian snapped his fingers and said calmly.

"Then let's use this standard as a reference. I bet my teammates can all reach this level, provided, of course, that you teach them properly and diligently."

"Let's set the period at one year..."

"If I lose, I can grant you one wish. Remember, any wish."

"And if you lose, what do you consider to be equivalent to your wish in this wager?"

Upon first encountering Ian's assertiveness, Aimina and Eluna frowned slightly, unsure how to respond.

After all...

They have now lost their chips in the bet.

Even their own existence depended on this young man.

Aimina couldn't help but glare at Eluna.

It's all that girl's fault for saying such careless things and angering the other party...

Eluna turned her head away; she didn't want to look. As long as she couldn't see her sister's fierce gaze, it was none of her business. However, she did really want to win the bet, so she spoke up.

"If we lose, I can decide for you to marry Aimina..."

As soon as she said that...

The expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

Aimina's pretty face turned bright red with embarrassment; she wished she could tear her sister's mouth apart.

Machi and Pakunoda, who were standing to the side, both frowned.

Uvogin, Nobunaga, and the others exchanged glances, then stealthily looked at Machi, not daring to utter a sound.

Ian looked embarrassed and glanced at the people behind him before quickly speaking.

"There's no need for such jokes!"

"If you lose, the Gandor Ruins will belong to me!"

Ian said earnestly.

"You dare to stake everything on the country you once dedicated yourselves to?!"

Both of them were taken aback by Ian's words.

They never expected that the other party would propose such a bet.

Although the Gandor Dynasty had once been incredibly important to them, they both knew that it was all in the past...

Time has destroyed everything, and the Gandor Dynasty can never be restored.

But... why would the other party use this as a wager?

Aimina's eyes narrowed as she thought of the magical gadget Ian had taken out. Although she was somewhat skeptical, she still tentatively asked him about it.

"If... we win, you will grant our wish: we demand the restoration of the Gandor Dynasty. Can you do that?"

Eluna looked at Aimina in surprise, not understanding why her sister would come up with such a fantastical idea.

However, immediately afterward, she heard the young man in front of her speak calmly.

"Certainly..."

"Since it was said to be fulfilling your wishes, to restore your Gandor Dynasty, that's naturally included!"

Upon hearing this...

The two women present both gasped for breath!

As if an electric current had shot from their tailbone to their brain, they stared at Ian in disbelief.

The other party... wasn't lying!

On what basis...?

What gives them the audacity to make such an absurd promise, one that they wouldn't even dare to consider!?
