"But, from the Stephen family~" Carlos said hurriedly.

"I have already agreed with the teacher!" Kaz said lightly: "As long as you can win, you can get Catherine. He won't blame you! But if you lose, your sister must marry you!"

When Carlos heard Kaz say this, his eyes lit up and he shouted, "Really? Father?"

"That's right!" Kaz said dissatisfiedly: "The teacher said that even if you use all your strength, you are not a match for Stephen Little. He also asserted that Stephen Little can easily deal with you, hurt you if you hurt you if you hurt you, and you will die if you die. He simply looked down upon you!"

"Not it?" Carlos immediately frowned and said, "Does the Lightning Fasaint look down on me so much? Why do I say that I am more than 20 years older than Stephen?"

Kaz did not say nonsense, and directly signaled the guards outside to bring in a large package, then opened it directly, revealing the exquisite armor inside. Then he said depressedly: "I saw that he was afraid that he could not control the murderous nature of Stephen, so he gave me a set of magic armor for you. Once you lose, you can save your life and not destroy the relationship between the two families, and it will also serve as your sister's betrothal gift."

"What? He actually looked down on me so much? This is too much!" Carlos then said angrily: "Don't worry, Father, I will definitely deal with Stephen's little!"

"Very good!" Kaz then said, "Remember, you must do your best to fight tomorrow. If you have a teacher personally protecting it, you don't have to worry about being injured by accident. Even if you can't win, you must ask them to see it. My son is not a fool!"

"Yes. I understand!" Carlos promised immediately, "I will defend the honor of the family to the death!"

"Very good!" Kaz nodded, and then said, "Also, I hope you can promise me something!"

"Father, please tell me!" Carlos said hurriedly.

"If you win tomorrow's battle, with the temper of the Stephen family, they will definitely fulfill their promise and let Catherine marry you. At that time, I hope you can maintain the demeanor of the Knight and not stimulate Stephen little, so as not to think about it and commit suicide!" Katz said.

"Don't worry, Father, I'm not that kind of villain, how could I do that?" Carlos promised: "As long as I can marry Catherine, even if Stephen humiliates me in public, I will never do anything to our benefactor!"

"Very good!" Kaz nodded with satisfaction, and then instructed: "But if you lose, I also hope you can maintain the demeanor of a knight. Never harass Catherine again, is that OK?"

"Yes!" Carlos immediately said proudly: "If you can't beat Stephen during the duel, even if you don't say it, I won't have the shame to bother Catherine!"

"Don't end your life for this, it would be like completely breaking our two families!" Kaz said worriedly.

"Father. I am already 40 years old, not a child! I can still bear this setback!" Carlos said with a wry smile.

"Haha, I'm too worried. Then go and rest. I'll wear this armor to decide the outcome with Stephen tomorrow. Don't let them underestimate us." Kaz said then.

"Yes!" Carlos immediately agreed, picked up his armor and turned around and left.

After Carlos left, Vivian came over and asked in confusion: "Father, since the Stephen family has been kind to us, why should you ask your brother to work so hard? What if you hurt Stephen?"

"Haha, why, you can't bear to leave him before you even cross the door?" Kaz immediately teased.

"Father, I'm talking to you about the serious matter!" Vivian said shamelessly. After saying that, he twisted Kaz's arms and shook them.

"Haha, OK, I understand!" Katz surrendered quickly, "You underestimate the Stephen family too much. They don't need a hypocritical farce. Besides, Stephen wants to marry my heart and soul, how can you do without showing some skills? How can you do that cheap?"

"You're so sure my brother will lose?" Vivian frowned.

"If it was my judgment, your brother would naturally win, but obviously, the teacher's vision was much more accurate than me. So since he said that Stephen will win, I would have to overturn my own opinions!" Katz shrugged helplessly, "To be honest, I can't figure it out yet. Why is Stephen so powerful? He is only 17 years old? Why can you easily deal with a 40-year-old genius who is diligent in practicing hard? I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out!"

"I will understand everything tomorrow!" Vivian suddenly said, "By the way, father, I have withdrawn all the cash from my family. Since the bet on tomorrow is so obvious, can I bet on Stephen all the time?"

"Ah?" Kaz was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "Daughter? Are you planning to play big? If you lose, our family will only eat braised vegetables?"

"No problem!" Vivian said with a smile: "First of all, it is unlikely that we will lose. You must know that the Lightning Dharma Saint has been a patron saint of the Griffon Kingdom for decades. With his close to legendary masters and nearly 200 years of experience, he almost won. Since he said Stephen Xiao will win, it is almost impossible to make a mistake. Besides, I have seen Stephen Xiao take action with my own eyes. Although my strength is not very good, I am by your side, so my eyesight is not good. As far as I see, Stephen Xiao is indeed perverted, I am afraid that my brother is really not an opponent!"

"Even if your brother was not good before, now your brother not only has a top-notch mount, but also has such a strong magic armor. I think Stephen can win, so it must be enough!" Kaz shook his head and said, "So, this bet is unstable!"

"What are you afraid of!" Vivian said without caring: "The bet was run by the Stephen family. If you win, there is no need to say much. If you lose, Humph, I will send the money to him personally, and see if he is embarrassed to ask for my private money!"

"Haha!" Kaz laughed and said after hearing this, "Okay, okay, you're smart, my daughter! That little Stephen has always been generous in his life, and his subordinates often spend tens of thousands of gold coins. If you come forward, he can't help asking you for this little gold coins! After all, you're the one who wins, and it's him who makes you lose money. So, maybe this guy who wants to save face will not only want your money, but also compensate you with more interest!"

"Hehe!" Vivian smiled proudly and said, "That's it. I'll put all the money in my family on Stephen!"

Early the next morning, the entire Griffin Kingdom's kingdom suddenly became boiling, because the news of the duel between Lao Xie and Carlos was finally completely spread, and there were discussions everywhere in the streets and alleys. At the same time, odds were also issued in various casinos. Various news about the strength of the two people were also released by those who were interested.

As a young master Lao Xie, everyone knows him the most profound. It is mainly through two battles, one with the elf prince Arthas, and a battle at the palace, destroying a martial arts field, but it ends up being a draw. In addition, when the demon appeared during the Akisaki period, he killed several abyss demons with one blow, and his strength was shocking. Therefore, many people were actually optimistic about him at the beginning.

However, at this moment, other rumors suddenly came out. Some said that Lao Xie was seriously injured while going out and is now less than half as strong as before. Some said that Lao Xie participated in the battle this time as a mage and could not carry his terrible pets and a few bull kings according to regulations. If these news were groundless, that would be fine, but the problem was that most of the news was reported by the servants of the Stephen family. As a result, Lao Xie's supporters hesitated immediately.

Correspondingly, Carlos's strength was exaggerated step by step. For example, when he came back at the border, he brought a level 5 monster mount, the violent rhino that he occasionally obtained, and at the same time he also obtained a set of magic armor from a dwarf master, which made his strength soar. Moreover, being able to subdue a level 5 monster itself means that he has the strength of at least a level 5 warrior. In this way, after comparing the two, Carlos' winning rate is much higher.

While making the final preparations in the morning, Kaz noticed this problem keenly and couldn't help but worry about Vivian's judgment. So he pulled Vivian to a secluded place and said worriedly: "Daughter, it seems that people outside don't like Stephen. All kinds of news are not good for him. Do you think our bet should be? Although losing may not necessarily lead to losing money, it's not good-looking in terms of face?"

"No!" Vivian shook his head firmly, "It is precisely because of this that I am more optimistic about Stephen. You know, the big casino responsible for this duel is from the Stephen family. If they have no confidence in Stephen, will they release so much unfavorable news? Obviously, they are deliberately misleading others to bet on my brother!"
