Chapter 1721  The wife who is loved the most.

"Ho ho, would you look at that? How long has it been since the Arena was so full of life? And why would it not be? Fortune's Call has taken all of Nexus by surprise with the recent mission they posted! Even we, at the Arena, were surprised when they came to us to arrange all this! It was only five days, but our excitement was so high that even five days felt like five hundred years! Now, however, the wait is over! So, Mercenaries! Are you ready for today's show!?" A beautiful woman, standing in the middle of the stage, questioned out loud. Her voice echoed throughout the Arena. "YEAHHHHH!!" The crowd cheered. The stadium, capable of holding more than two hundred thousand beings, was filled to the brim. Usually, not even 20% of this stadium is filled unless it's some sort of special event. Today, however, things were different. A mission that attracted the attention of mercenaries all over Nexus. A mission with a grand reward of 10,000 Nexus Credits without any failure penalties whatsoever. Who would possibly want to miss this mission? "Since today's event might last for a long time, all other battles have been rescheduled, so without having to wait any further, we can jump directly to our main event!!" The woman announced. "YEAHHHHHH!!!" Once again, the crowd cheered. The woman waited for the crowd to settle down. It had been a while since she had seen such a large crowd, so she was enjoying the moment and taking her time. When she was satisfied, she continued, "A total of 20,530 Sovereigns have registered for the Mission 'Show Your Might!', so the event might last a few days! Of course, until then, refreshments will be provided by the Arena, so you can enjoy the show without worrying about anything! Because of the Auction held by Fortune's Call Mercenary Hall, we already have the order of the fights ready. The battles will only end once Nux Leander loses. Nux Leander will not be given any rest between battles and will need to face more than twenty thousand opponents one by one. How long do you think our champion will last!? If you think your predictions are right, you can also test your observational skills at our bidding center and earn some money! As they say, it's only interesting when money is involved! Biddings are open for all, and your personal information will be kept hidden! So go bid now! And while you do so, I shall call our Champion, the one who dared to stand against the entire world, the one who has blessed us with such a grand event, The Bravest of all Sovereigns, Nux Leander!!" The crowd cheered. Of course, while quite a few people supported Nux and were impressed by his boldness, most were disdainful. Some even pitied the fool who would lose his life today. Of course, the man in question didn't care. He simply stepped into the Arena, and as he did, more cheers erupted, especially from the fairer gender. Even in a completely new world with different races and beauty standards, he still attracted the attention of the fairer sex, something the rougher sex didn't like. While the women cheered for him and even showed their worries, the men shouted, screaming at the participants to kill Nux. The excitement in the Arena was sky-high, and not wishing to lose this chance, the announcer continued, "Surprised, aren't you? I didn't know our champion was such a treat to the eyes before I met him. Now, let's call the first participant of today's event, the first being to fight Nux Leander, someone most of you probably know: a mercenary known for his efficiency and high completion rate, a mercenary who is not only strong, decisive, and intelligent, but also ruthless and tactical when needed. One of the finest Assassins of Nexus, Leader of the Solitude Mercenary Group, one of the best Nyklian, known as dangerous assassins feared all over the universe, Nathan Nyks!" As the woman announced, a being with a humanoid but slightly smaller and leaner figure, with elongated limbs and sleek, shadow-hued skin, walked in. His skin had a faint sheen, appearing almost translucent, as if it could adapt to the environment's colors, giving the being a natural camouflage. Nathan's eyes were large, with pupils that could dilate fully to capture any available light, making him adept in total darkness. Nux could also see retractable claws at his fingertips, likely useful for silent and quick kills. "Nathan! He came!" "He really did! I thought he was gone away on a mission!" "Then isn't the event as good as over?" "I pity that Human now…" "A Human against a Nyklian in a one-on-one duel… it's not even fair at this point." "I heard Nathan bid 2,500 Nexus Credit Points to fight first." "2,500? That's a big number. I guess once he wins, he'll get four times the amount he paid, so it makes sense." "Indeed. The order of bidding started from the furthest, all the way to the first one, and from what my friend told me, Nathan didn't bid for any other spot except the first." "Hahaha! How bold of him! It's quite unlike his usual meticulous attitude." "I guess he's that confident." "Heh." "This battle is as good as over." "Why do you think I bet that this Human wouldn't even last one round? I knew the first one to fight was Nathan." One laughed. "You knew!?" "Didn't I tell you my friend was at the auction?" "Why didn't you tell me!? I would have made the bet as well!" "The more people bet on the same thing as I do, the less money I'll win." The man shrugged. "Don't blame me; it's pure business." "You!!" As the people continued to talk about it, in the bidding office, something shocking was happening. "W-What did you say?" The Office Head, who looked like a goblin, stared at the beautiful woman standing in front of him with a shocked look on his face. "Are you not going to accept the bet?" The woman frowned. "Are you sure you want to bet on it?" "Yes, Nux Leander wins all the fights. I bet 10,000 Nexus Credit Points on it. The ratio is 1:100, correct? A million Credits should last for a while." "I-I usually don't say this, but don't get lost in your greed." The Head spoke, but the woman continued to stare at him without saying anything. In the end, the Head just sighed and said, "Well, if you're that eager to lose your money, I won't stop you. What name should I use while I register your bid?" "Riona Leander." "Are you sure you're going to use your real name? Most people use fake names, mostly titles, to ensure secrecy." "Titles, huh…" Riona thought about it for a while and then said, "The wife who is loved the most." "Huh?" "What? You have a problem with that?" "…" The Head completed the registration in silence. Riona smiled. "I will be back soon." She spoke. "You won't have to; it's not like you're going to win."
