His expression changed drastically. It was Kawahashi Yume, the man who owed Mirai fifty million dollars!
The Prince of Water beside him clearly noticed the change in Kawahashi Yume. To his surprise, he too was staring at Mirai, who stood before the battle table.
However, after watching for a while, the great Water Prince could not see anything unusual about Mirai. Kawahashi Yume said nothing either. He merely stared at Mirai as though he were looking at the enemy of his life.
The more Kawahashi Yume acted this way, the more curious the prince became. His eyes remained fixed on Mirai as he began turning the name "Mirai" over in his mind.
"Mirai..." the prince murmured. Then his eyes suddenly lit up. "Is it him?!"
At the competition grounds, there were not only private rooms, but also ordinary wealthy spectators nearby. Countless workers in uniforms moved among them.
"My lord, the betting has opened. Would you like to place a wager?"
This was impressively the opening bet for the match between Mirai and Kakuzu.
"Of course. How could a place for making money like this possibly not have betting?"
A well-dressed tycoon spoke casually as he placed a bet of one hundred thousand.
In his eyes, a giant like Kakuzu was almost impossible to defeat in this match. Even the island owner might not necessarily be able to beat him. Just as the staff member was about to leave, he asked a question.
"What are the odds for Mirai and Lord Kakuzu?"
"My lord, you are the third person to place a bet. However, the first two lords both bet on Kakuzu winning."
The staff member replied with a smile, then moved on through the wealthy crowd to take their bets.
Clearly, this betting pool had only been opened
