Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Not Even Worth Missing, Kelsey’s Unusual Behavior
“What… what do you mean? How many do I want?” Logan stared, pointing at himself with his finger.
Did he want how many, and could Aiden just come up with that many Epic Demon’s Hearts?
That’s impossible!
“Don’t act like that. Just show me five Demon’s Hearts first. What if you lose in the end and can’t show anything at all? Then I’ll be the one losing out big time!” Logan took a deep breath.
He tried to stay calm. Epic Demon’s Hearts were not easy to get.
As one of the top geniuses in the Sovereign City, he had seen a lot of big scenes. How could he…
At that moment, Logan saw several Epic Demon’s Hearts in Aiden’s hand. He immediately opened his mouth wide and instinctively reached out to take them.
“You… you actually have them!” Logan stammered, sounding just like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world before.
He was completely shocked. How could someone just pull out so many Epic Demon’s Hearts at once!
“One, two, three… seven, eight! Eight of them!” The top geniuses from the Sovereign City nearby couldn’t help but start counting the Demon’s Hearts in Aiden’s hand.
Eight of them!
Many people swallowed hard, and unconsciously took two steps closer to Aiden.
Even Empress Eira from the Great Shaw Empire slightly opened her mouth, staring straight at Aiden’s hand.
Under everyone’s gaze, Aiden remained completely calm. Eight Epic Demon’s Hearts? He still had nearly two thousand in his storage space.
If he showed them all at once, the people here would probably be shocked into silence.
But if too many Epic Demon’s Hearts appeared in a short time, the supply would be more than the demand, and the price would drop a lot.
Even if Aiden wanted to sell Epic Demon’s Hearts, he would only bring out a few at a time.
He looked at Logan coldly and said.”I’ve already put my chips on the table. Eight Epic Demon’s Hearts. If your score in the College Testing is higher than mine, they all belong to you.”
Logan almost drooled. He quickly turned to the people around him and said.”You’re all witnesses. This bet wasn’t forced on me!”
Without hesitation, he pulled out his phone and made a call.
“Dad, just trust me. I’m sure I can win!”
“It’s eight Epic Demon’s Hearts! Please, just believe in me once. I promise I’ll win!”
At that moment, Empress Eira thought for a moment and walked over to Aiden’s side. She spoke in a low voice.
“Logan is very talented. His level is already 23. And the College Testing doesn’t allow the use of high-level equipment. His score might be higher than you think.”
“Epic Demon’s Hearts are very hard to get. Maybe you should think about it again. Your professional tier still needs to improve.”
As Eira kept trying to stop him, a light, pleasant scent slowly reached Aiden’s nose.
It was a very special smell. If he had to describe it, it was like a beautiful rose blooming in the middle of a snowy, icy field.
Aiden looked at Eira. She was wearing a magnificent royal robe that showed off her neck, which looked like a piece of art. It was very tempting.
He finally said.”Your Majesty, I still have a lot of these Demon’s Hearts. Even if I lost eight Epic ones, I wouldn’t feel any pain. There’s no need to worry.”
When she heard this, Eira froze. Her beautiful eyes stared directly at Aiden.
What did that even mean? “Even if I lost eight Epic Demon’s Hearts, I wouldn’t care.”
As the Empress of the Great Shaw Empire, she couldn’t even imagine losing just one. She would feel sad and regretful.
Was Aiden holding dozens of Epic Demon’s Hearts?
That couldn’t be right. There had been no major losses in the Abyss lately.
If so many Epic Demons had died, the empire would definitely have received the information!
Eira couldn’t figure out whether Aiden was just comforting her or if he really had that many Epic Demon’s Hearts.
At that moment, Logan hung up the phone, excitedly turned to Aiden and said.
“It’s too late to back out now. My father has already arranged the money—1 billion!”
“Aiden, there are so many people here as witnesses. Even if you try to cheat, you can’t get out of it. Hahaha, eight Epic Demon’s Hearts are mine!”
Logan couldn’t hide the smile on his face. He never expected to get such a big reward today.
As for losing? That was never going to happen.
In the College Testing, without high-level equipment, Aiden was just a weak Magic Apprentice. How could he possibly win?
Everyone’s eyes were on Aiden and Logan. No one noticed that Victor’s expression was slowly returning to normal.
He quietly clenched his fists, thinking in his mind.”I was right. If I had been in The White City, with my tactics, I could have saved more people.”
Victor took a deep breath and suddenly spoke to Aiden.
“I will also prove in the College Testing that, besides tactics, strength is equally important.”
“If it were me, I wouldn’t have let so many people from The White City die.”
Aiden slightly raised his eyes, sneered and said.”I’d really like to see how strong a Mythic-level practitioner is.”
“If either you or Logan scores higher than me, I’ll admit I lost.”
Logan’s face changed. He looked at Victor and his tone turned annoying.
“This is my bet with Aiden, you…”
He didn’t finish his sentence. Victor waved his hand and said.”I don’t want the Epic Demon’s Hearts. I just want to prove myself.”
In an instant, Logan smiled with relief and confidently said:
“Relax. My score will definitely be much higher than Aiden’s.”
Eira quietly sighed. If Aiden gave up in the middle, she could still try to fix things.
But things had already gone too far. It wouldn’t be long before the whole Sovereign City heard about it.
Whether it was Aiden, the hero of the empire, or Victor, the genius of the empire, or even the crazy bet, all of it would cause a lot of talk.
Not to mention Victor, who had a Mythic profession. Even if Aiden managed to get a higher score than Logan in the College Testing, it would already be a miracle.
Eira thought for a moment. This was actually a good chance to announce that the College Testing would happen earlier than planned.
She held her imperial scepter and spoke in a serious and solemn tone in front of everyone.
“The Great Shaw Empire College Testing will take place in one week, as usual. All candidates must take the first round in their home provinces.”
“Only those who make it into the top 1,000 in their province’s first round will be allowed to take the final test…”
Empress Eira kept announcing the details about the College Testing. Meanwhile, Princess Kelsey quietly pulled Aiden’s hand.
Aiden slightly bent down. Kelsey stood on her toes and whispered.”Aiden, Kelsey believes in you. You will definitely get a very high score!”
“After the banquet, Kelsey has something for you.”
In Kelsey’s big, black eyes, there was full of trust.
Aiden felt a warm feeling in his heart. He nodded seriously.
Today’s mood was really bad, especially because of Logan and Victor.
If it was about something else, Aiden wouldn’t care at all. But they just happened to bring up the White City.
“Anyway, I was aiming for the top in the whole country from the start. Both Logan and Victor will end up being my defeated enemies!” Aiden thought to himself.
When Empress Eira finished speaking, Kelsey took Aiden and walked outside.
“Here, this was given to me by others. Take it, Aiden.” Kelsey pulled out a bunch of things.
Aiden looked at the items. There were a lot of Platinum Rank and Diamond Rank equipment, plus many Enhancement Gems and other items.
But none of them were useful to him, and he didn’t need a little girl’s treasures to get stronger.
“You can keep them for yourself.” Aiden said, crouching down and couldn’t help but pinch Kelsey’s round cheeks.
Kelsey shook her head and said sadly.”I don’t need them.”
“When you wake up your profession later, you will.” Aiden didn’t think too much about it.
Kelsey looked down and said slowly.”I’m sick. Mom didn’t let others tell you, but I know I don’t have much time left.”
Aiden was shocked. The princess of the Great Shaw Empire, suffering from a deadly disease?
Kelsey lifted her head and forced a sweet smile, saying softly.
“Sorry, Kelsey shouldn’t have said that.”
“Aiden, I’m not feeling well…” As she spoke, Kelsey’s face suddenly turned pale, and sweat beads appeared on her forehead.
Aiden got a bit nervous and tried to take Kelsey away, but he heard light footsteps behind him.
When he turned around, it was Empress Eira, James, and the head of the Sovereign City Reclasser Association, Atlas.
“Let me take her.” Eira said in a low voice, her eyes full of worry. She picked up Kelsey.
Kelsey weakly waved her hand at Aiden.
She was about to say goodbye, but suddenly closed her eyes and fainted.
Aiden wanted to ask what was going on, but then he saw Kelsey suddenly open her eyes!
Her eyes had turned completely black, and a powerful feeling of death and destruction surrounded everything around her.
