693 OPPONENTS

"You...." ,Luke was baffled a little by Jimmy's rapidly quick response. He knew that Jimmy was very considerate person. He didn't agree for public apology. He didn't give his response even for the most beautiful woman in the entire city. But he immediately said "yes" for five plots of land?

Luke snorted in disgust over Jimmy's greed. He thought Jimmy was a cheap person as he immediately agreed for just five peaces of land over a girl. For the likes of Luke five plots of land is nothing. For him it was like giving a casual begging for a beggar.

But he didn't know what exactly was going on in Jimmy's mind. Luke thought Jimmy is cheap. In fact, all the rich people thought it the same way. But no one knows why Jimmy agreed immediately for the five plots of land.

Jimmy could imagine what was going on in the minds of these rich people. After all, back in Life Realm his real body was a fucking emperor. He could guess what exactly these rich people were thinking. But he didn't care.

He has his own needs and urges. When he registered his name for the citizenship in the Solar City, he was given a temporary residence to stay. This residence would be taken away from them after ten years. After ten years, it doesn't matter whether they could build their own residence in this period of time. After ten years, their residence will be taken away from them.

Jimmy needed a house of his own very desperately. He made his enquiry. And from his enquiry he learned that the price for buying a piece of plot is highly expensive than constructing a house there. The price was not just expensive but it was ridiculously expensive.

And Jimmy was worrying that the ten years of time limit was not going to be enough for them to buy a plot of land and build their own residence. Ram, Grabber(Gutherson) and Gnanwell works in the City Lord's workshop. But they earn very little.

Jimmy knew that with their family's elders earning, they had to manage their daily necessities and other things. With the three people's earnings, seven people are studying in a campus. Due to all these situations, they couldn't save anything.

Jimmy was having a hard time to look for a steady source of income which helps them to save money. But as the earnings system is so low in the Solar City, Jimmy couldn't find any ways to make money.

As he was still thinking, Luke has given him an opportunity to solve the issue. If Jimmy let this opportunity go, then he is definitely not Jimmy. He doesn't care what others think about his greed. If his greed is going to solve his problem, then he will take his chances to win the bet.

"You.... you accepted it that quickly for five plots of land?" ,Luke asked surprised. But he smiled quickly and said, "Whatever. Since you agreed for the bet, then don't go back on your word."

Neil was also looking at Jimmy angrily. He said, "Be prepared to apologise us publicly. There is no way you are going to win this bet. Young Master is trained by Master Thorfinn. Master Thorfinn is the best combat master in the city which enhances the Combat abilities of Young Master Luke. And what's more, Young Master Luke is assisted by none other than Young Master Wright! So give it up."

Jimmy didn't speak. He stood and listened silently. Neil looked at relaxed Jimmy and grit his teeth in anger. He gave "I will kill you one day" look and left along with other rich kids.

As all the rich kids left, only poor people remained. But at this moment, they all had stunned facial expression. They looked at Jimmy with pity. It was as if they already know the outcome of the bet.

Farah also maintained the same expression as others. But since all this mess has started because of her, she said, "Brother Jimmy! Thank you for supporting me. It means me so much."

"I didn't do anything for you." ,Jimmy replied with an expressionless face, "He messed with me first. So I had to reply with twofold shame. I did this for myself. No need to thank me."

"But..." ,Farah wanted to say something. But she knew that whatever she would like to say is pointless at the moment. So she came to the main topic, "Brother Jimmy! You need to be careful with your opponent. I don't know why the Emperor had moved the schedule of the tournament ahead of time. But it looks like all the major powers are taking the tournament seriously this time."

"I know what I am doing." ,Jimmy simply replied.

Farah shook her head and said, "No. I think you still underestimate your opponent. Young Master Luke is the disciple of the famous Master Thorfinn. Master Thorfinn is a skilled master who is s very good teacher. Too many people in the city desired to learn from Master Thorfinn. But Master Thorfinn teaches only the best and quick learners. And you should worry about Young Master Wright as well. Young Master Wright is the best Lifestyle Master in the city. He is definitely going to be a tough opponent. And Young Master Wright is the direct descendant of the Golden-sparrow Clan. Golden-sparrow Clan is the clan who grows only the Lifestyle Masters. And just like Luke's clan, Golden-sparrow Clan is one of the three Tier-1 powers in the Solar City!"

Jimmy was ineffective with Farah's caution. In fact, he smiled mockingly. He said, "What a bunch of cowards."

"Eh?" ,Farah was speechless. In fact, everyone remained speechless. They didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Despite cautioning him, Jimmy is taking their opponent so casually. How could they not be speechless?

Jimmy said, "I know what you people are thinking about my reply. I don't know anything about that Young Master Wright. And honestly I don't care at all. But that Thorfinn guy truly undeserved to be called a "Master". A teacher is called a "Master", if he takes a weak and late learner as a disciple and groom him to be the best. If he take a best and quick learner as a disciple, then why is he called a "Master"? You should call him an ordinary instructor, right?"

Jimmy completed his sentence and left the crowd. He found Dick and others a while ago who were watching everything unfold. So he was going in order to regroup with his friends.

But the crowd who heard Jimmy's final words before his departure truly stunned them to their core!
