Chapter 8: The situation is serious

Everyone was stunned when they saw Ethan suddenly end this wonderful duel with a weird counter-slash.

When they reacted, they stood up and applauded.

"What a wonderful duel!"

"Mr. Miloch, you made a fortune. This young man is beyond imagination."

"Yes! I thought the legendary gladiator came out to abuse the novice, but I didn't expect this result!"

"Who is this young man? Mr. Miloch, are you willing to give it to me?"

...

Ethan succeeded in one strike, and he himself was a little unbelievable.

Just now, he was anxious because the ten-minute time limit was about to expire. He wanted to take some risks, reveal a flaw, and attract the opponent's full-strength attack.

Unexpectedly, the opponent suddenly approached like suicide and gave his life.

"What happened?

By the way, there was a whistle just now, and it seemed to be from Rand.

Could it be that Rand asked him to die? Did he intend to elevate himself?

This doesn't make sense!"

Thinking of this, Ethan turned his head and looked at Rand, the former cheap father, in confusion.

At this time, Rand's face was as gloomy as water, and it was as ugly as it could be.

"What a waste! He can't even beat a sixteen-year-old child.

Also, when did Ethan cultivate the Force?

Otherwise, how could he use such a weird counterattack?

No need for forward swing, no angle, and the force is amazing, half of the head was cut off.

How can he be so strong after leaving home in just one day?

Could it be that he has been hiding his strength before?"

Rand has never cared much about Ethan, even if Ethan won the swordsmanship championship in the academy.

Anyone who has mastered extraordinary power doesn't care much about what is taught in the academy.

Those fancy swordsmanship are just for fun for the nobles.

In front of the real killing skills with the Force as the core, those so-called swordsmanship are not worth mentioning at all.

Rand believed that if he took action, he would not need any empty moves at all.

One move, just one move, if Ethan dared to block, he would be cut into two pieces with the sword.

But after seeing Ethan's strength today, he was a little unsure.

However, he was sure that Ethan had indeed cultivated the Force.

In this world of swords and magic, the wizard is the master of this world. Those who cannot practice magic can only practice the Force.

This is a power that comes from the soul, which is very similar to the magic of the magician, but the effect is very different.

The wizard can use magic to cast all kinds of incredible magic, but the Force can only enhance his own physical fitness and provide powerful explosive power. At most, he can use the Force to cast sword energy, which is already the limit.

Although the effect of the Force is far less than that of magic, it is not something that everyone can learn if they want to.

Not to mention the practice methods of the Force, they are all in the hands of the nobles, and ordinary people have no chance to contact them at all.

Even if there is an awakening method, there is no way to practice in the later stage without cultivation consumables.

And it costs a lot to practice the Force.

For example, various precious medicinal materials and magic stones are all valuable and cannot be practiced by ordinary people.

Rand was very curious about when Ethan practiced the Force. He never let Ethan get in touch with the cultivation method, and strictly controlled Ethan's expenses, and sent people to keep an eye on Ethan.

"I haven't seen Ethan show any signs of practicing the Force. Where did he learn it from? Who supports his expenses?"

"No matter who it is, he can't be allowed to grow like this, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

In a flash, Rand had already moved his will to kill, and his face became more and more fierce, but he immediately returned to his usual expressionless appearance.

And Ethan saw all this and was shocked.

Just when he saw Rand's sinister eyes just now, he suddenly felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Oops! Rand's killing intention is much stronger than I thought. I must take the money and run away."

With the intuition of a swordsman, Ethan has realized that the situation is more serious than he thought.

So after the duel, he didn't even bother to check the short-selling income, and immediately ran to Miloch to ask for the bounty.

Milochi looked a little embarrassed. It's not that he didn't want to give it, but this matter was impromptu and he didn't prepare it in advance.

600 gold coins are not a small amount, and he couldn't take out so many gold coins at the moment.

So he said: "Sir Ethan, I don't have so many gold coins at the moment. I will ask someone to get it now and send it to your residence in the evening. Is it feasible?"

Ethan also knew that this was the case, so he could only nod and agree, and asked the other party to send it quickly.

Seeing that the other party agreed, he didn't even sign the tutor contract and left in a hurry.

Seeing that Ethan didn't even sign the employment contract, Sarno hurriedly chased after him with the contract.

But he didn't expect Ethan to walk so fast, regardless of his shouting behind him.

"What happened to Mr. Ethan? Why did he suddenly become so cold?"

Although Sarno didn't know what happened to Ethan, he knew that now that Anderik was dead, all his hopes were on Ethan, and he couldn't give up no matter what.

So he chased him all the way.

This chase actually took him from the training ground to the hotel where Ethan was staying.

After finally catching up with Ethan, Sarno said breathlessly: "Mr. Ethan, your employment contract has not been signed yet! According to the previous agreement, we will pay you 1 gold and 60 silver coins per week, what do you think?"

Ethan now has a bounty of 600 gold coins, how can he still be interested in such a salary?

However, he did not refuse immediately, but said: "I am not satisfied with this salary now, because I just defeated the legendary gladiator, and I hope my salary is 5 gold coins per week.

Sir Sarno, what do you think?"

"You bastard, you don't know what's good for you, and you dare to ask for a sky-high price!" Sarno spat in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said: "This may be a bit difficult. Sir Ethan, you know.

In our gladiator industry, a mentor can get more than 80 silver coins per week, which is already a high salary. We have given you twice the price, which is our greatest sincerity.

At the same time, as long as you sign, we will immediately provide a signing fee of 10 gold coins."

Ethan did not want to sign the contract, and he did not look down on the signing fee of 10 gold coins, so he continued: "No matter what, I want 5 gold coins per week, this is my bottom price. If you agree, I can sign now."

"You are making it difficult for me, I don't have the right to approve such a high salary!" Sarno looked bitter.

What Ethan wanted was to embarrass Sarno, so he smiled and replied: "If you can't make a decision, why not ask Mr. Milochi first.

Just now I saw him bring a bunch of nobles to watch the battle. I think it's not a coincidence that they met on the road, so just invite them by the way!"

Ever since he saw those nobles, Ethan guessed that Milochi must want to win over the nobles.

Although he didn't know his specific purpose, Ethan was sure that Milochi's plot must be big.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to offer such a high bounty to please the nobles.

In this case, as long as this entry point is used, Milochi can be persuaded.

And the reason why Ethan told Sarno this entry point was not that he really wanted him to persuade Milochi, but just wanted him to leave gracefully.

Sure enough, when Sarno heard Ethan's implicit mention of Milochi's desire to win over the nobles, he immediately realized that he was being manipulated.

During negotiations, the most taboo thing is that your bottom price is known to others.

"Ethan is young, but he has such deep thoughts. Mr. Miloch just invited a few nobles to watch the battle, but he guessed that Mr. Miloch would be inseparable from him in the future. Is he really a 16-year-old kid?" Sarno thought secretly.

He wanted to agree directly, but 5 gold coins per week was indeed beyond his rights, so he could only say: "I may need to discuss with Mr. Miloch and give me a reply."

"No problem!" Ethan said readily.

"But before you reply, you can't accept other people's offers, okay?" Sarno added before leaving.

"No problem!"
