Winner Takes All

Bang!

Cynthia's voice was heard echoing in the chamber medical hall, generating a commotion in the audience.

He was the Hun King, and his statement was cut short in fury. He was taken aback by Cynthia's expression.

"Beast fighting cage? Oh my goodness! "Does the princess wish to save or murder this man?"

"Beast fighting cage can exempt him from the death penalty, but not many humans have come out alive from the Beast Fighting Cage in Hun history."

"The Wolf is above! The death sentence is a fast death, but entering the beast fighting cage will result in beast devouring you!"

The whole medical hall was filled with the Hun King's commanding aura and was carefully guarded by guards.

However, everyone on the scene was startled and whispering to one another.

Jack frowned looking at Cynthia and the King. All of the murmurs made him curious.

What was that? A fighting cage? Did she make a daring step to save his life?

Cynthia hesitated as she looked at the Hun King, who was staring at her.

"I'm sorry, Father, it's Medea's fault, but... I think it's worth it!" she finally said sternly.

"Do you believe he'll make it out of the beast fighting cage alive?" The Hun King pointed towards Jack.

"I'm not sure. But having hope is better than nothing," Medea said as she shook her head in Jack's way. "Hahaha... Hahaha..."

With his chin up, the Hun King laughed heartily, and his laughter resonated throughout the entire hall.

His laughter drowned out all the voices and brought the hall to a halt.

Anyone could hear the cold and malicious purpose behind the King's chuckle; it was like an ice breeze piercing flesh and bones.

In an instant, the Hun King stopped smiling and stared furiously at Cynthia. "Excellent! I granted my approval. Let's see whether this child makes it out of the beast fighting cage alive!"Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"Thank you very much, Father." Cynthia let go of the King and bowed, with her head touching the ground.

The Hun King ignored her and turned to Jack, saying, "Tell me now, what happened in the Wolf House, and how did Guy die?"

"Is he dead?" This information astounded Jack.

His experience in the chamber of the Seventy-two Constellations of the Wolf raced across his memory, along with all of the dreadful recollections.

Also, the hazy vision of the person he saw before passing out!

He took a long breath and calmly stated, "Mr.Wilson came asking me about my memory loss and brought me back to my recollections, but my head was in terrible agony, and as he approached to check on me, I inadvertently shoved him..."

He had no intention of revealing that he had mastered the Seventy-two Constellations of the Wolf.

He noticed how surprised Guy was when he found out. It's possible that revealing it will cause further problems.

For the time being, Jack decided it was best to keep it a secret.

A vague explanation was a nice one. He was the only one in the room, and Guy was dead, so no one would know. "Inadvertently push him?" The Hun King was taken aback.

Everyone, even Cynthia, was taken aback

It just took an unintentional nudge to take the life of the all-powerful Mr.Wilson?

"Huh... anyway, since you're about to enter the beast fighting cage, I'm not going to interrogate you any further."

"Two of my finest warriors perished since you entered the palace," the Hun King said, looking at Jack. His eyes squinting as if he were staring at a corpse. "If you die in the beast fighting cage, that will be the revenge for them, but if you come out alive, that implies you are not yet meant to die. And I'm going to forget about Wolfgang and Guy's death!"

Some sympathized, some ridiculed, and some simply enjoyed the situation.

They all gazed at Jack in the same manner as The Hun King did as if he were a corpse.

"Guard, take him into the beast fighting cage!"

In line with the King's instruction, the guard approached Jack right away.

Amanda positioned herself in front of Jack, ostensibly to protect him. Jack gently drew her aside and requested Cynthia to look after her.

He wasn't an idiot; he was now pitted against the enraged Hun King as a result of Amanda shortly after waking up.

Cynthia's decision was to save him while also protecting The Hun King from disgrace.

If they continue to clash violently, the King will undoubtedly order him to be executed.

"Jack..." Amanda was concerned as she watched the soldiers take Jack away. "Don't worry, Amanda; I believe Jack... will survive."

Cynthia comforted Amanda while she bit her lower lip, unsure if he would live.

Cynthia didn't pause as she watched the team leave the medical hall; instead, she matched their pace, bringing Amanda along with her.

The icy terrain under the lights.

Cynthia dashed forward, Amanda at her side.

"Greedy Wolf, you must be psychologically prepared!"

Cynthia lowered her voice and fixed her eyes on The Hun King, who stood in front of the squad. "You were very rash just now; the situation might have been much better if you hadn't held firm against him."

"I can give up everything, but not Amanda; if she hadn't saved me from the snow, I would have died."

"I owe them my life and don't mind risking it again for Amanda!" Jack marched forward, his face solemn.

"You... why are you so stubborn?" Cynthia was helpless.

When the snow landed on her hair, she appeared even colder.

"Please don't blame me for asking Father to put you in the beast fighting cage; I was just trying to help," she gritted her teeth.

"I won't blame you; you've done a lot for me," Jack said with a shake of his head. Cynthia was his wife and The Hun King's daughter; it was tough to be the middle person just now.

"What exactly is a beast fighting cage?" after a little silence, Jack inquired.

"Due to prolonged time living in extreme cold and terrible climate, the Hun and other tribes believed in the strong will always consume the weak."

Cynthia said sternly, "Hence, the internal management of Hun constructed the beast fighting cage, although I'm not sure when it started because it wasn't specifically written on the history book."

"The beast fighting cage is significant; it might be viewed as the Survival Medallion. Those that survive the beast fighting cage, on the other hand, may have a significant effect on even the King. Walking out of the beast fighting cage alive represents a tremendous power and the completion of a god's destiny. In this world dominated by strength, strength is seen as the ultimate power."

"There were even ancient heroes or warriors who were forgiven for their crimes and held major positions in the nation after walking out alive from the beast fighting cage, and it was all documented in the Hun history book. But, of course, not everyone was allowed to enter the beast fighting cage."

"When you were fighting Father just now, the atmosphere was too heated, and the beast fighting cage was the only option I could think of. If you enter the cage, you still have a chance of survival; otherwise, you would have been executed straight away!"

"I understand," Jack said, nodding.

"Once entered the beast fighting cage, you will fight the beast inside. If you survive, it indicates the god is with you; otherwise, you will be consumed by the beast!"

Cynthia gave Jack a concerned expression, saying, "May God bless you and bring you luck when you draw the beast. If snow lion is the one you drew, it's maybe the most deadly beast of all..."

Cynthia didn't utter the final word, but it was apparent enough that even Amanda picked up on it. She gradually became white.
