Clearing The Table (5)

Many seemed awestruck by the beauty turned market woman, while others that knew she was with Ed's team could not help their twitching brows. Nti Anem was no different. It did not help that many broke out of their daze and rushed over to make bets.

"I bet his skull will be crushed from one swing of Hammer's head's hammer."

"Lady, I bet he will loose an arm."

"He will be split right in the middle!"

"His blood will flow enough to fill a bucket!"

The bets were getting more outrageous, as they all waved pouches of spirit stones in Ku Jian's face.

"Ho ho... anyone for gouged eyes?" she said, collecting money from here and there with just a wave of her hand.

"Here, here! Gouged eyes!" someone betted.

The commotion in the audience angered the usual betting bosses, causing them to pry their way through the crowd till they got to Ku Jian.
