Chapter 1490
Meanwhile, in Conata.
The underground casino was crowded with people.
Female staff dressed in skimpy clothes were going around the tables, serving their customers and pouring them
drinks.
When the clock struck, a bell rang out in the establishment.
Rapid clicking sounds followed as the gambling tables were folded by sadvanced mechanism, and a fence
rose from the floor of the center hall.
Moments later, the gambling den had turned into an arena.
The clients, who had been blowing cash on their cards and chips just minutes before, swarmed around the arena.
There was a collective roar as everyone yelled cheers.
In the pit were several cages containing different wild beasts.
The animals themselves seemed used to the roaring of the crowd.
They lay on their stomachs, slowly wagging their tails as they waited for the signal to strike.
Zayden was in the private seating on the second floor, smoking a cigar.

He looked rather lonely.
Just then, a handsblond walked over and joined him.
“What's wrong, Zayden?” he asked, smirking.
“What's got you so down this time?”
The man placed two glasses of wine on the table and prattled on under the pretext of distracting Zayden from
his problems.
But his eyes were filled with mockery.
After all, the incident in Eleymond was no small matter.
In fact, it had been broadcast nationwide.
Now, practically everyone knew that Zayden had turned over most of his enterprise in Mistlyn to the Fredrick
Group.
Holden had set him up and succeeded.
Seeing Zayden remain silent, the man decided to provoke him more.
“What brings you back here all of a sudden? Are you planning to stay here in Conata for good?”
Looking down at the arena, Zayden took a slow drag of his cigar.
He had been quiet for a long time, feeling too embarrassed to tell the truth.
“Nothing much.
| just haven't been here in ages.
Figured it was about tforto cback.
” Zayden forced a smile.
The blond man smiled back, though he was aware of the rumors in Eleymond.
Still, he had to show respect to Zayden; after all, the people on the second floor weren't ordinary.
Even though Zayden had been tricked by Holden, his strength still couldn't be ignored.
Zayden had made a lot of money in Conata.
If he stayed here for a few more years, he could easily make a comeback.
Zayden didn’t say anything else.
He didn’t seem interested in what was happening in the arena.
He had only cto watch the match to blow off ssteam.
But he found the scene boring.

He was still plotting his revenge against Holden in his head.
The blond man noticed that Zayden didn’t seem willing to talk further.
He fell silent, waiting for the match to start.
Soon, the match began.
The blond man got excited, but Zayden remained uninterested.
As the blond man watched the bloody scene in the arena, he said to Zayden, “I heard Bennett got a new group
of strong beast slaves.
When Zayden heard that, he reacted strongly.
Uncrossing his legs, he asked, “Is Bennett here today?”
As soon as Zayden finished speaking, the door on the opposite side opened, and a group of people entered.
Among them, the leader stood out, his appearance refined.
With neatly combed hair, the leader exuded an air of sophistication.
His sharp features were accentuated by a row of piercings adorning his ears.
He wore narrow sunglasses, and his black attire, along with a half-turtleneck sweater, revealed a hint of a tattoo
on his neck.
The man who entered was Bennett Olson, a renowned arms smuggling tycoon.
Consequently, many sought to curry favor with him.
