Cupid's Arrow hit me hard!

"If Julian loses, that pool of money would be for all the bettors' supper. If he wins, all of your money will be mine."

Quinn did not want Julian to be embarrassed as everyone here would surely place their bets on Will.

No one knew how skilled Julian was. However, based on his refined appearance and how Will addressed him as Mr. Bucham, some of them guessed that Julian was probably a CEO.

For someone like that to be trained in martial arts, they would at most learn the foundation. How could he possibly defeat the future owner of the gym?

The coaches took their cash and bet on Will's victory.

While the students were not little kids, they were still teenagers and did not have much money. However, they still joined in on the bet in small amounts. "I'll follow Quinn and bet on Mr. Bucham."

One of the students gave Quinn his money after some thought. He said, "I'll follow your lead, Quinn. We'll be rich if Mr. Bucham wins."

Since everyone placed their bets on Will, the money he could obtain if Julian won was a lot to a teenager like him.

He could split the earnings between him and Quinn if Julian emerged as the winner.

Quinn accepted his money with a smile. She said, "Kai, aren't you afraid of losing your money and your chance to have supper altogether? However, if Mr. Bucham wins, we can split the money evenly and have a good supper ourselves."

The young boy smiled sheepishly. "Something tells me something unexpected might happen. Maybe Mr. Bucham is a dark horse."

Upon hearing his words, Quinn patted Kai's shoulder and praised, "You're bold and have your own mind. Let's cheer Mr. Bucham on when he comes out later. We can't lose in spirit despite our small numbers." Kai replied, "That's for sure."

After that, he stood beside Quinn while the rest who bet on Will stood on the other side. They laughed at Quinn and Kai for being on a losing bet.

Julian was puzzled when he saw everyone split into two sides when he walked out with Will after changing.

Will said, "Mark must've started a bet on who's going to win."

He glanced at Mark's team, then looked toward Quinn and the student who bet on Julian. He asked, "How much money did you two bet? Is it enough to treat all of them to supper if you were to lose?" Quinn countered, "Why don't you place a bet too, Will?"

"Why should I? You two might change your minds if I bet on myself winning. If I do the opposite and bet on Julian, the rest will complain that I lost on purpose to win money."

Will was certain of his victory over Julian.

Many skilled fighters had challenged him ever since he became well-known. He defeated every one of them.

Quinn mentioned that Julian was agile and had some serious skills. Nevertheless, none of them had seen Julian in action. Moreover, he was also a rich kid. Even if he was trained, he could never beat Will, who had been training since he was young.

Therefore, losing had never been a possibility for Will.

Julian asked Mark, "How much is the total bet?"

Mark had already counted the money. "About five thousand dollars. The students don't have much money. They're just joining for fun. The pool mainly consists of the coaches and my money."

He then added, "You have to deliver, Will. I spent all my money on you. It's about three grand. If you were to lose, I'd have to go hungry till my next pay."
