Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 278 One Wolf and One Man Competed in the Arena

Trenton caught a glimpse of the wolf leader's poised stance from the corner of his eye. Just as the wolf leader lunged at him, Trenton didn't dodge but faced it head-on.

Crossing his arms, he resisted the impact of the wolf leader's front paws.

The wolf leader's strength was immense, and the force of the beast's impact caused Trenton to stagger back several steps. Fortunately, there was a large stone monument behind him. Trenton turned his head, braced his leg against the memorial, and managed to steady himself.

No one had anticipated the wolf leader's move, and they watched with their mouths agape.

The disciples of the Divine Doctor Association began to discuss this again.

"What do you think the wolf leader means by this?"

"Who cares? This is the most spectacular show I've ever seen in my life."

"The more I look, the more it seems like the wolf leader is the father-in-law, and Trenton is the son-in-law."

"Father-in-law fighting the son-in-law, who do you think will win?"

The discussion grew louder, and the previous atmosphere of tension and fear was replaced by one of excitement.

"I bet the wolf leader will win."

"I bet Trenton will win."

"Wolf leader wins."

"Trenton wins."

The shouts rose and fell, wave after wave.

Mildred also joined the betting, raised her hand, and said, "I bet the wolf leader wins, but Trenton will take Scarlett away. So, I ultimately bet one thousand dollars on Trenton. Are you in?"  

The members of the Divine Doctor Association became interested and raised their hands. "Just one thousand? I bet two thousand on the wolf leader."  

Flora stood by, watching the scene, couldn't help but laugh, and then joined in as well.

Martin, of course, couldn't miss out on this. He pulled Philip along, and they both joined the betting.

In no time, the members of the Divine Doctor Association were as excited as if they were watching a heavyweight boxing match.  

The place was filled with high-spirited voices.

Lela felt speechless.

How come everyone was so tensed up, but the next moment, they were placing bets?

Hearing the noisy crowd, the wolf leader looked displeased and turned to roar at them, emphasizing that their fight had nothing to do with the other humans.

How noisy!

Seeing the wolf leader's displeased and fierce expression and hearing the deafening roar, the crowd was intimidated and quieted down.  

Seeing the humans had become sensible, the wolf leader was satisfied and turned his focus back to Trenton.  

Trenton lowered his leg, rubbed his wrists, and got serious.

For a moment, the man and the wolf were locked in an intense battle.

Trenton was low on energy after being bitten by a venomous snake, and the wolf leader didn't use his full strength either.  

In the end, the wolf leader made a swift leap and pinned Trenton to the ground.

Scarlett's heart leaped to her throat, and she shouted, "No."

The wolf leader turned to look at Scarlett and saw the worry in her eyes. A mysterious glint flashed in his blood-red eyes. He then turned back, his sharp gaze fixed on Trenton beneath him, and let out a sound.  

It seemed Trenton had passed the test.

The wolf leader then released Trenton, withdrawing his heavy front paw from Trenton's shoulder, and stepped back a few paces. He then raised his head to gaze at the red full moon in the sky.

He howled a few times.

Hearing this, the male wolves followed suit as if performing some ritual.

The dozens of male wolves who had been there before retreated in a disciplined manner, their green eyes fixed on the members of the Divine Doctor Association. Baring their teeth, they slowly backed away and eventually disappeared into the forest.
