"Can't refuse?" Ryan asked.
Hans shook his head. "No, refusing is the same as admitting defeat. There's no draw in the battle for the throne, only victory and defeat!"
Ryan was silent for a while, frowned, and said.
"So what was that challenge you just mentioned?"
Hans said, "Although the rules don't specify how the challenge will be conducted, based on the results of previous challenges, there's a 90% chance it will be a 'stone fight.'"
"That is, both parties took out three of their best forbidden stones to compete in a bet, betting on which party would reveal the most valuable treasure."
"In addition to the Forbidden Stone Man's fame and 30% of the profits over the next ten years, the winner can also take home all three treasures opened by the loser in the challenge."
Listening to Hans' explanation, Ryan understood why Finn was so angry.
The God's Forbidden Stone held this opening ceremony in order to restore the God's Forbidden Stone's current declining reputation.
Now the other two forbidden stone owners want to snatch it away. This is clearly an attempt to take the life of the God's Forbidden Stone Owner...
As Finn, who was standing on the second-floor stands, and Zeni and Eric, who were standing below, stopped their confrontation, the Forbidden Stone Hall fell into a deathly silence.
Finn looked at the two people below the stage with a gloomy face. If looks could kill, Zeni and Eric would have died countless times already.
Faced with what the two said about stealing the pawn, Finn was somewhat helpless.
The two people in the audience saw Finn's gloomy face and silence, and looked at each other secretly. A triumphant smile appeared on their faces, forming a sharp contrast with Finn.
"Finn, Eric and I have already brought over the three best forbidden stones from our respective collections. If you feel you can't win, just admit defeat and save yourself the embarrassment."
Zeni took out three forbidden stones from the magic box and placed them in front of himself, looking at Finn on the stage with great confidence.
After all, these three forbidden stones are the best three forbidden stones he has collected in the past ten years, and Zeni is full of expectations for them.
Seeing this, Eric on the side also took out his three forbidden stones.
Six forbidden stones were neatly placed in front of the two of them, and under the illumination of the crystal chandelier above the hall, they looked particularly extraordinary.
Some appraisers in the mixed crowd were amazed when they saw these six forbidden stones.
Because each of these six forbidden stones can be regarded as the best among the best, and some of them even have the quality that can compete with the Forbidden Stone King.
Finn looked at the six forbidden stones below the stage, and his heart tightened.
As the head of the forbidden stone keeper for many years, he could tell the quality of these six forbidden stones at a glance.
Looking at the six forbidden stones, Finn cursed inwardly at the two old foxes below the stage. These two old foxes had planned this long ago.
Otherwise, how could one collect forbidden stones of such high quality in such a short period of time?
Facing the two people chattering incessantly in the audience, Finn remained silent.
His silence was naturally due to his promise to Ryan.
After all, he said that after the stone-opening ceremony, he would give Ryan the eighth-level treasure as a reward.
Therefore, the forbidden stone king is now considered to be Ryan's property. Finn dare not use the forbidden stone as a bet in the stone fighting game.
But without Ryan's forbidden stone, Finn really couldn't imagine how he would win.
Just as Finn was struggling, Ryan, who was standing beside him, saw the hesitant expression on Finn's face and understood something, so he whispered to Finn.
"Captain Finn, are you worried about making a promise to me?"
"Master Ryan, you have a keen eye, indeed, but the Forbidden Stone King is already yours. I cannot use your things as a bet. If I win, it's fine, but if I lose, I, Finn, will die."
