Chapter 1120 The Number One Fighter in Elaria

“Our bet expires at midnight tomorrow,” said Aeron, his face a mask of anger.

“The bet isn’t over, you can’t claim victory yet!”

Eryndor chuckled, “Aeron, you’re deluding yourself. No one would believe that you could enlist the aid of the world’s top fighter within such a short time. I’ve witnessed every scheme in Elaria. This bet is over. Destiny itself confirms it. Bastien is gone, vanquished by the Divine Drakebane. Glenoril’s agency rights in Southeast Aurientia belong to me. Surrender, Aeron. Perhaps I’ll grant you a small regional concession.”

Aeron snorted, “Everyone in Elaria knows about this bet. Force my hand, and you’ll lose everyone’s trust!”

“Is that so?” A burly man stepped forward. This man was none other than Thorne Winterstrike, the number one fighter in Elaria.

“Aeron, your gambit failed. Bastien, the top warrior of Sakurania, is nothing but dust now. What’s your next move? You’re just delaying the inevitable. No one in Southeast Aurientia can withstand my Iron Fist. Just surrender.”

Aeron, Ryden, and the several sturdy bodyguards behind them immediately tensed up.

If they could not defeat Thorne, Aeron knew that would mean the forfeiture of Glenoril’s Southeast Aurientia agency rights.

The precious gem that they had fought with blood, sweat, and a large sum of money would be gone.

If Thorne made a move now, that would be the end.

-The sudden appearance of Thorne sent a wave of astonishment through the assembled onlookers.

Although Aeron and Eryndor were relatively unknown, Thorne–the undefeated top fighter of Elaria–was a household name.

Overwhelmed by their combined public pressure, Ryden’s face twisted with rage as he shouted, “Thorne, Eryndor, this is outrageous! The terms of the bet are valid until midnight tomorrow! Demanding a surrender now is completely unreasonable! Do you really think your status gives you the right to ignore all sense of fairness?”

Thorne’s eyes narrowed as he turned to Ryden. “A challenge, then?”

Ryden’s defiance ignited. “I’ll challenge you! Your reputation is all talk. I’m not
