An Understated Dominance Chapter 2266-“Bet on contestant No. 19?” Noemi looked at Dustin and asked in confusion, “Dr. Rhys, why do you think No. 19 can win?”

“Yes, Dr. Rhys, contestant No. 5, is an ascetic monk. At the same level, he is almost invincible. Although contestant No. 19 is the young master of the Yam Palace, he is too young. From all aspects, he is ineligible to compete against No. 5.” Kassidy followed up.

It was undeniable that Briggs’s appearance was extremely outstanding, but in terms of strength, Sawyer was more powerful.

They were very puzzled as to why Dustin’s opinion was contrary to theirs.

“I know contestant No. 19. Don’t look at him as a weak and timid person. In fact, his cultivation is unfathomable. It shouldn’t be difficult to defeat that ascetic monk.” Dustin gave a simple response.

“Oh? Really?”

Noemi raised her eyebrows, quite surprised.

She didn’t expect Dustin to know Briggs, and after seeing the other party’s calm appearance, he should be very sure of what he said.

“Since Dr. Rhys thinks No. 19 can win, then we’ll bet on No. 19!” Noemi decided without any hesitation.

Regardless of whether what Dustin said was true or false, or whether there was any problem in her judgment, as long as the other party spoke, she had to face him.

Even if she ended up losing, she wouldn’t have any complaints.

After all, compared to gaining Dustin’s favor, losing some spirit stones was nothing.

“For Dr. Rhys to value him so much, No. 19 must be very exceptional, so let’s bet on him!” Kassidy quickly understood Noemi’s intention and chose to speak out in support.

“In that case, I’ll join you.” Grace also joined in on the fun.

Soon, the three women bet all the spirit stones in their hands on No. 19, Briggs, expressing their full trust in Dustin.

But their actions did not resonate with the gamblers around them.

According to the gamblers, although these three women were very beautiful, their brains were not very good.

Regardless of the circumstances, betting all the spirit stones was simply stupid.

Anyone with a bit of insight knew that this match was a complete one-sided crush.

Even a martial arts master-level strongman, let alone a little white face, may not be able to get an advantage in front of Sawyer, the ascetic monk.

Betting on the little white face to win was simply giving away money.

Only betting on Sawyer to win was the real wise move.

“Senior sister, should we bet on Master Ethier or the ascetic monk?”

Sullivan, a gambling addict in the audience, felt compelled to question Rivka. If the situation had been different, he would not have asked and would have made the decision himself.

However, over the last two days, he has suffered significant losses and accrued substantial foreign debt. On the contrary, Rivka had a sharp eye and always won.

Sullivan had to admit it.

“Although we should support Master Ethier, the chance of winning ascetic monk No. 5 should be greater, right? If we are more rational, we should bet on No. 5.” Halle touched her chin, looking thoughtful.

“The ascetic monk is powerful, but Master Ethier is not an ordinary person. So far, I’m unable to see through Master Ethier’s depth. If you must bet, I suggest betting on Master Ethier.” Rivka gave her own opinion.

“Senior sister, you’re not on Master Ethier’s side because of his face, are you?” Sullivan asked tentatively.

“Do you think I am that kind of person?” Rivka glanced sideways, her face as serious as ever.

“Of course not.” Sullivan smiled embarrassingly. “Since Senior Sister said so, let’s bet on Master Ethier?”

As Sullivan said that, his eyes turned to Halle again.

“Let’s give it a try!” Halle gritted her teeth and finally nodded.

So, the two of them took out a few spirit stones and placed a bet on Briggs.

They bet, but not much, so even if they really lose, they won’t feel bad. In the final analysis, they still lacked some confidence in Briggs, and most of the reason was because of his face and Rivka’s words.

After all, they rarely saw Briggs take action, and they didn’t know much about his strength.

“Come on! The game is about to start! Everyone, hurry up and place your bets! Bet on it!”

At this point, Abigail, the dealer, resumed her shouting, and she, along with a few others she had invited, initiated a stirring atmosphere.

“I’m betting on Master Sawyer, No. 5!”

“I also bet on No. 5!”

“Get out of the way! You are hindering my fortune! I bet everything! I don’t believe that a pretty boy can be the opponent of the ascetic monk?”

“…”

At this moment, the gamblers began to scramble to place their bets.

Most of them chose No. 5 (Sawyer), and only a tiny number of people bet on No. 19 (Briggs) to win.

Among this group of people, 80% were young women.

Although they know that Briggs would most likely lose, they would still support him wholeheartedly. Even if they lose, they are willing to do so.

This was the lethality of attractive looks.

“Are both players ready?”

The referee walked to the middle of Briggs and Sawyer, glanced left and right, and after the two nodded, he slowly raised his hand and then waved it down fiercely: “The game! Officially begin!”
