Chapter 320: Mage Archery Tournament(1)

"Why did you even have to do that? Couldn't you have just announced it directly?"

This was the first question that Faxul asked Daneel after getting over the shock of seeing such an excellent performance.

"Competition, my friend. There are too many established betting organizations in the continent. I needed mine to have an impact; I needed something that will make those people run to the stall and start betting. Comparison makes one understand the value of something. And besides, with Arafell putting up such an 'unexpected' performance, there were bound to be a lot of people who were sore due to losing their bets. I just…cashed in on the opportunity."

Gambling was, after all, one of the most profitable occupations in the continent, provided that there were enough customers and enough things to gamble on. Daneel had had the idea to enter since long ago, as he knew very well about the success of the gambling business back on Earth.
