Ajin hurriedly made sure he knew everything there was to know about the situation. He immediately picked up his speaker-type soul tool and announced on stage, "Everyone placing your bets, please wait a moment. There's a minor interlude that I have to tell everyone about so that everyone can make better judgments. Just a few moments ago, 98 and 66, who are both mighty soul engineers, have announced their own wager! 98 will use his own carving knife as the stake, and 66 will use a powerful soul tool as his! We will invite the tournament's chief judge to a.s.sess these two items so that we can confirm their value. Of course, the wager has been announced and completed, and both parties cannot take anything back anymore."

　　98 grabbed the speaker-type soul tool from his hands and said loudly, "My stake is a carving knife. It's the same one that will be used later on in the compet.i.tion."

　　He stuffed the speaker-type soul tool back into Ajin's hands after this sentence. When he turned around at Huo Yuhao, he could see that Huo Yuhao's head was lowered, and there seemed to be sweat dripping down from his temples.

　　"Why don't we let it go, brother?" He Caitou whispered into Huo Yuhao's ear.

　　"Let it go? No, it's too late. The announcement has already been made." His ears were pretty good, and 98 could clearly tell what they were going on about.
