I Can Contract Beauties-Chapter 35: Gasper’s Motive

"Haha- so you are hiding here, fool!"

As Gasper approached the clearing where the trio was at, Miguel took a subtle glance at Marcel, curious at what he would do now.

It was true that Miguel had taken a step back before to save Marcel some face, however, if it happened over and over again, Miguel wouldn’t just take it lying down.

Marcel shook his head in displeasure as he saw Gasper approaching them with an arrogant walk.

"Gasper you brat! Have you not learned your lesson from the previous time?" Marcel’s deafening shout escaped his mouth.

This nephew of his was truly testing his patience. What’s more, he kept on offending Miguel, which even he, not dare to do so anymore. He doesn’t know if Gasper was just dense, dumb or both, just like his mother. No wonder his brother no longer returned ever since Gasper was born.

Upon hearing his loud voice, Gasper obviously cowered. He recalled how he was made to face the wall in a kneeling position the other day. In fact, his knees were still sore due to that event.

His neck shrunk like a tortoise, visibly afraid. But he still gritted his teeth and continued to move forward towards them.

He strengthened his courage and stated as he cupped his hands together and bowed like a martial artist as a greeting, "G-good morning, uncle." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Marcel nodded his head upon seeing his attitude, however, he was still dissatisfied about his earlier actions, "What are you doing here? Scram if you don’t have anything good to do. Go train with your summon and get better instead, will you? Don’t embarrass our branch when the time comes, do you understand?"

Gasper almost choked from Marcel’s heartless words. However, he could only grit his teeth in anger and nod his head before finally stating his real intention, "Uncle, it’s like this. I heard from my friends that Miguel has defeated a very huge Yak? I wanted to make sure that it’s not a lie so I went to his house in the servant quarters earlier and see for myself if the story is not fake. But he was no longer there when I arrived. And then I heard from the guards that he is here."

"Uncle, please let me have a duel with him and let me witness if the story of my friends is real and not fake!" He suddenly declared in a loud voice as he stared at Miguel menacingly.

As for the story of his so-called friends, of course he did not believe it. They said that Miguel had killed a very huge yak that allowed all of them to eat their fill last night. He felt that they were just exaggerating things. Those brats were not grimoire summoners after all and they were very ignorant. A huge yak to them might just be a normal yak for him.

After all, how can Miguel have such a power when he could not even react to his attack a few days ago? He guessed that he just got lucky by finding an injured ordinary yak and brought it over to brag to his neighbors.

He actually has another ulterior motive for challenging Miguel. Not only was it to prove to his ’friends’ that Miguel was nothing in front of him, he was also here to implement the plan that his mother had told him.

"Of course, uncle, in order not to waste anyone’s time, I have an interesting proposal," he stated with a confident grin.

Knowing Miguel’s strength, Marcel was about to shut-off this brats delusion when Miguel himself finally broke his silence.

"What kind of proposal?" He asked.

Miguel was indeed curious about his proposal. He was not afraid of fighting Gasper.

The only reason why he did not act on their previous encounter was because he was worried that it might ruin his chances of being able to cultivate the Return of Origin Cultivation Technique.

However, now that he no longer has those worries, he was looking forward to what kind of entertainment this Gasper could give him.

Upon hearing that he was interested, Gasper grinned internally.

’This fool is indeed greedy just like what mom said,’ he commented.

His mother has already told him that Miguel would surely take this bait. After all, he even took the longsword even with the threat of being killed by her, hence, Carlota judged that Miguel was a very greedy person.

"It’s simple actually. We will bet something valuable of equal value. The one who wins the duel will take it all," he said with a daring tone.

He looked at Miguel provocatively, as if daring him to accept the bet.

Miguel looked at Gasper deeply. Now he realized where this was going.

"Sure, what kind of valuable thing are you gonna bet?" He replied.

His reply just made Gasper even more certain that Miguel was indeed a greedy bastard.

’He didn’t even bother thinking whether he could win against me or not. He directly accepted the proposal just because there’s something on the line, hmmp! He is indeed a fool!’ Gasper thought to himself.

"For this duel, I’m gonna bet a graded armor," he said with confidence.

He observed Gasper and did not notice any graded armor on him.

Miguel chuckled, "Sure, where is it then?"

Hearing that, Gasper was suddenly at a loss for words. Indeed he was very hasty. The graded armor was not on him yet. This was his mother’s plan. She only said to use the armor as the stake, but she did not hand him the armor yet.

At this moment, Marcel who has been silent since earlier finally spoke, "It’s fine. I can be the guarantor that he indeed has graded armor."

This brat was really wishing for it. Might as well make this an opportunity to teach him a valuable lesson.

Gasper smirked, "Haha, you hear that? So, what are you gonna bet?"

"I’m gonna bet what you are eyeing for. This graded dagger and this graded longsword. However, I have a proposal of my own."
