Chapter 271 Phantom

“That’s true!”

The short-haired woman giggled in amusement.

From their conversation, one could tell that they treated the competitors in the arena like beasts instead of humans.

In their eyes, underground boxing was similar to a fight between beasts in the Colosseum of ancient Rome.

Winning mattered more than their lives.

“How do you place a bet in here?” Jonathan casually asked Lydia.

From earlier events, he could tell that Lydia frequented the place.

“The underground gambling den works together with the underground boxing ring. Before every match, the gambling den would offer different odds. For every boxer, the bets change too.”

Pointing at the defeated man lying on the ground like he was about to pass out, Lydia continued, “For a novice like that guy, who fought only once or twice, the odds of him losing is ten to one. However, the greater the risk, the higher the payout. If he surprises the crowd and wins, the people betting on him will earn tenfold. Therefore, many people here like to bet with a lot of money. As you know, there are many gamblers in a place like this. They might not be interested if the risks are too low.”

“Ah, I see,” Jonathan acknowledged before turning his attention to the boxing ring.

Bang! In that instant, a loud sound rang through the arena.

The man on the ground received a punch directly to his skull, and blood splattered everywhere.

“Ah!”

Horrified at the bloody and gruesome sight, Sophia screamed and hid behind Jonathan. She could not bear to look up.

Never in her life had she ever witnessed such a gruesome scene.
