Chapter 277 Hiro's authority

"We won"

"We are the winner"

"Yeaahhhhh!!"

Clap!! Clap!! Clap!!

The crowd around them burst into applause as they commended Hiro's efforts and congratulated their side for attaining this deserved victory.

Having witnessed such marvellous and entertaining show, everybody present in the crowd seemed quite satisfied and exhilarated. They felt like this show was worth their time and attention.

Thrilling moments which took place during the duel was flashing in the minds of some people even to this moment.

People present in the crowd simply couldn't hide their excitement.

The opposing players however were wailing. Their watery eyes filled with grief and regret was desperately trying to avoid meeting the gazes of the people around them.

Losing this duel meant public humiliation for them. And what more, they even had set the condition of the duel themselves.

Thus right now, they were being haunted by a sense of humiliation and regret.

The sense of humiliation was so overbearing that some of them were even thinking of retorting or running away.

But if they did that they knew that their reputation would get tarnished. Thus they were quite reluctant to resort to that option as well.

'Is there really no other way? Do I really have to kneel and ask for forgiveness?' While sweating profusely, Park Seung-gyu thought while gritting his teeth.

As if a dark shadow was looming over his face, his face seemed quite ashen.

He had extreme confidence in his abilities. That's why he had suggested this duel. Had he known that Hiro was better than what he had expected, he wouldn't have suggested this duel in the first place.

Infact he wouldn't even have deliberately found trouble with them.

But now there was simply no turning back. The bullet had been fired and the result was right infront of his eyes.

He had hit his own leg with his own axe.

At the same time, congratulatory message from the system was resounding inside Hiro's head.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the quest]

Amidst the raging chaos taking place around him, it was like music to his ears; extremely soothing and rejuvenating.

The fatigue which he had accumulated both physically and mentally was getting washed away upon hearing this message.

'So which wow-factor should I choose?' Hiro mused inwardly.

Thinking about the reward, unwittingly his face lit up as his eyes shone with excitement and his lips curled into a smile.

The reward which he was about to attain was just too appealling for him to hide his happiness. Thus unwittingly despite trying his best to maintain his demeanor, Hiro displayed a joyous expression.

However at this moment, while he was still pondering about the selection of the reward, his teammates suddenly stepped infront and started to walk towards the opposing side.

"I'm sure you all remember about the bet, right?" Shun snickered as he spoke in a disdainful manner while facing the South Korean players.

"Yeah, it was your side who suggested this bet afterall" Honda who was right beside Shun sniggered as he supported Shun.

He was no longer timid like before when he was on the losing side.

Just as South Korean players heard this, their eyes shone with indignance. Veins popped out of their forehead as they clenched their fist tightly.

They wanted to retort however they were simply powerless at this moment. They could only gnash their teeth and accept the punishment without any struggle.

Although their body said otherwise, extreme sense of helplessness pressed them down from moving their body as per their will.

They were like fish on the chopping board.

The crowd upon hearing about the bet became extremely curious. Non of them had heard about the bet. They were only thinking about this as a casual duel.

"So they had made a bet?"

"No wonder both side seemed so ferocious earlier..."

While such chatter resounded among the crowd, Hiro who was still pondering about the reward selection strode towards the direction of his teammates.

Witnessing the hesitation of the opposing players, Shun snorted grumpily, 'Hmph.. unwilling to admit your loss. But I won't let you go'

As he thought so, he probed further with a disdainful tone, "As per the deal, you all should apologise to us while kowtowing"

The other players who were standing beside Shun expressed their agreement as they probed the opposing players to fulfill the bet placed between them.

"Yeah, it was you all who set the condition"

"Are you going to go back on your words"

Ken who had been made an scapegoat by Park Seung-gyu before was the most adamant. The lingering sense of humiliation which he had felt before, he was determined to pay them back tenfolds.

Thus, he wasn't willing to let go of this moment under any cost. He desperately wanted to see this people kneeling infront of him. And only after that would his anger and hatred subside.

However Hiro's next sentence completely spilled water on his desire, "You all don't need to fulfill the bet. That bet is simply childish"

As Hiro said those words, players from both the side abruptly shot their gaze towards Hiro. Their eyes filled with shock and surprise couldn't stop looking at Hiro.

Opposing players were perplexed by his decision however Hiro's teammates were even more perplexed.

Most of his teammates eyes flickered strangely as they reflected displeasure and unhappiness.

They then immediately started to rebuke his decision, "Why are you exempting them from this punishment? No... You can't simply say so..."

Ken who was the most furious was the one who was most dissatisfied with Hiro's decision.

Thus out of everyone else who were rebuking his decision he was the one who was strongly rebuking Hiro's decision as he expressed his disagreement to accept Hiro's decision, "No... No... No... They've already lost the duel. And the condition of the duel was set by them. Thus they should fulfill the bet. It won't be fair to us if they are exempted from the bet."
