Chapter 73 Does That Look Like A Newbie To You?!

"Is this a championship really? I don't think you should participate in a championship competition, you're only demeaning the meaning of the word championship." At this moment, Jack's words reached Dingo's ears, telling him that everything was true.

Jack didn't shout out his words and only Dingo heard him. Although he thought that way, if he said it loud, he was sure that someone would take it as a provocation.

As a result, he would have to deal with a few more annoying flies and would be forced to put into action, FSP. It wasn't that Jack didn't want to earn more money. It was just that he still had other things to handle and there was no reason to bulk work on his head.

Jack turned and gazed at the dazed host. Then, upon seeing that he wasn't announcing the end of the match, he asked, "Have I won?"

Host: "…."

It was only after a moment that the host finally nodded. He looked at Jack and upon seeing that Jack's gaze was still on him, he couldn't help but ask I'm a shaky voice, "A..anything?"

"You haven't announced the results yet." Jack was speechless at the host's behavior. But, after looking around, he noticed that it seemed that it wasn't just the host, but the spectators as well. They were currently staring at him and Dingo, who was still dazed, with blank expressions on their faces.

He wondered what had happened. He had simply played with Dingo a few times before deciding to end the match. In the end, the way that he'd won had make the crowd quiet.

The moment that Jack decided to humiliate Dingo, he had planned on this. Surrendering before the fight was one of the most shameful means of losing in such a competition.

But, if your opponent was far stronger, there was nothing wrong with admitting defeat. But, there was one that was shameful no matter if your opponent was strong or weak.

That was, being thrown out of the ring. This was shameful as it showed that you couldn't even maintain standing in the ring with the opponent and was pushed to the edge.

What was even more shameful was to throw oneself out of the ring, just like what Dingo had done. Although it was under the influence of Jack, at the end of the day, he had jumped out of the ring without anyone touching him.

What's more, he had been defeated even though Jack never attacked, not even once. This when added to his boasting words at the start, it surely would be a huge blow to Dingo.

The moment that Jack reminded that he hadn't announced the results yet, the host finally understood that there was a duty of his that he'd not carried out.

He rushed to the stage as excitement appeared on his face. The moment that he got to the center of the ring, he shouted, "Dingo was kicked out of the ring by JK Silver. For this round, JK Silver wins and proceeds to the second round of the preliminaries. On the other hand, Dingo is eliminated from the competition!"

Jack: 'When did I kick him?'

Normally, after the host announced the results, there would be boisterous cheers from the crowd. But this time, the cheers were only minimal. The reason for this was because most of the people who had placed bets had betted on Dingo winning the match.

Now that he'd lost, how were they supposed to celebrate? Celebrate for losing the money that they had thought that would bring them even more? No way that was going to happen.

Although the gamblers didn't cheer, there were those that didn't bet. They were cheering as they seemed to have found it funny the way that Dingo who was arrogant not long ago had been defeated.

There were a few that were cheering even louder as they were the ones that had betted on the dark horse, trying their own luck. Although most of them had placed a small stake, they still won something and this made them happy. Furthermore, they could still brag about it in front of their friends.

"Hahaha, did you see that? I told you that he would win."

"I thought someone told me that this wasn't a novel. But it seems that the MC is right there in the ring."

"So what? He was just lucky that Dingo jumped out of the ring."

"Why don't you go down there and try your luck and let's see how lucky you are?"

"I think this is all a prank. They must be playing with us so that they could get our money."

"That's right, we bet on that Dingo, only for him to lose in such an embarrassing way."

There were different discussions from the crowd. Everyone had their own opinion about this match. But at the end of the day, even if this match was rigged, there was nothing that they could do about it.

After all, this wasn't their first time here. They had already seen the situation where those who dared to make such claims in front of the big bosses were crippled. From that moment, nobody dared to shout something like that.

But again, there were several times that they had won the bets that they had placed. So, to know if the match was rigged, they would just have to wait for Jack's next match.

….

"What the heck was Dingo doing in the ring? Was he even serious about fighting?"

"Damn it, I just lost my half a million just like that!"

"What's half a million? I lost two million on that idiot. Just wait, I'm going to teach him a good lesson after tonight's competition is over!"

"Aah! I just made a bet worth five million and they were lost in such a stupid way? I want to kill someone! Who's the one that said that Silver is a newbie? Does that look like a newbie to you?!"

"Stop being unreasonable. Didn't you see that that Silver was formidable?"

In the VIP room, shouts of anger could be heard. As big shots were here, the bets that they placed were worth a good amount of dollars. Although it was a trial one and they didn't dare to place something that they couldn't afford to lose, they still won't accept having their hard-earned money being thrown away in such a stupid way.

"Edwin, you and Linus aren't good people. Did you plot something with that Dingo and Silver?" As the others were still cursing and lamenting, Austin looked at Edwin and Linus as he asked. Of all the people that had placed their bets in this round, the two were the only ones that had won.

Furthermore, he too had placed a bet of three million that Jack would surely lose. If Jack lost, not only would he earn some dollars from the bet, he would also win the bet between Jack and him.

But now, he had not only lost the bet, but he'd also began having bad premonitions about the bet that he'd made with Jack. But, there was nothing that he could do other than making do with what he had and pray that he would make Jack lose.

Although he was confident that Jack wouldn't win the championship, there was no harm in taking precautions. Previously, he had sent scarred tiger to make trouble for Jack and if possible, injure him before the match.

But, it turned out that the plan hadn't succeeded as Jack had come to the ring in perfect condition.

"Your mother! Since when did your dog eyes see me making such shady deals? If you did something, stop throwing blames on others." Edwin retorted.

Currently, he was in a very good mood. It seemed that Jack was his lucky star. After all, not only had he purchased the company from his hands, he had also made him win extra $250M.

Now, he was regretting not having placed a higher stake. Otherwise, he would surely have won a lot. But, he could do that in the next round that Jack was going to fight.

"Y-you!" Austin pointed his finger at Edwin as he almost burst with anger. Though, he was quite guilty as he thought that Edwin had found out his plan as he had indeed planned on doing something.

'So what if you know? There's nothing that you can do about it. Now that the fighters are in the locker room and we're not allowed to enter or contact them, it's obvious that scarred tiger will do it. Then, let's see what you'll do after that brat loses!' Austin thought to himself as he decided to ignore Edwin.

"You surely got a good seedling." Linus said as he let out a sigh.

"What do you mean?" Edwin asked in confusion.

"Stop playing dumb, will you? I know that you've gotten that kid over there to help you win some cash from betting, right?" Linus chuckles as he replied.

"You've gotten it all wrong Linus. With my status, I'm not eligible to hire him to do something for me personally." Edwin shook his head as he smiled bitterly.

Linus frowned as he asked, "What do you mean? He's got some good background?"

"Maybe more than just background. He seems to have some abilities as well. After all, you can see him in the ring. And one more thing, he's the one that has just bought over my company today."

The moment that Linus heard these words, it was like an explosive had been set off in his mind. He stared at Edwin wide eyed as he asked in disbelief, "Are you serious?"
