Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Gambling

“Hahaha…” Young Master Li couldn’t help but burst into laughter and said, “You dare to bring this thing? Even if you can deceive Young Master Liu and Young Master Bo, you should at least find something presentable. Look at this kid, with his delicate skin and tender flesh, how does he look like a boxer?”

Young Master Liu and Young Master Bo also felt a little ashamed.

“Mo Shaocong, can this kid really handle it?” Young Master Liu asked coldly.

“Young Master Liu, rest assured. He definitely can!” Mo Shaocong quickly said.

“Let’s get one thing straight, if he can’t cut it, I’m making you get in the ring and fight!” Young Master Liu glared at him unhappily.

“Yes!” Mo Shaocong immediately nodded and said, “Definitely.”

With Mo Shaocong’s assurances, Young Master Liu’s heart eased a little. Knowing what Mo Shaocong was like, he wouldn’t bring someone over without some level of confidence. If that kid really had no skills, Mo Shaocong probably wouldn’t dare to present him.

“Fine, let him up!” Young Master Liu waved his hand.

Young Master Liu took this step rather reluctantly—if Xiao Han didn’t step up, they would virtually be conceding defeat. The silver mine in the Northwest could really be snatched away. A silver mine meant an endless wealth. Even for someone with his own net worth, the loss was considerable.

“Yes.” Mo Shaocong nodded.

He turned and took Xiao Han by the hand towards the entrance. As they walked, he earnestly said, “Xiao Han, my future is in your hands now. If you can take down Dark Angel for me, then I’ll be fully part of the Capital’s young masters’ circle. If we lose this time… I won’t blame you. Just take care of yourself, that’s all I ask.”

“Right!” Xiao Han nodded.

Dark Angel was very strong; the guy had a sturdy build and was only about 1.75 meters tall. Not very tall, but with reaction speed that was clearly superior to ordinary people. With such agility, one couldn’t help but be impressed.

Xiao Han’s lips curled into a mysterious smile as he leisurely made his way to the entrance.

The referee shouted from the ring, “Great, Dark Angel has finally met his fifth opponent of the evening. Will Dark Angel be able to defeat ten men in a row tonight?”

The crowd cheered thunderously, all beginning to applaud excitedly, their expressions frenzied and eyes revealing a wildness.

Xiao Han stood 1.8 meters tall, a little taller than Dark Angel, but the audience didn’t seem to favor this pale and soft-looking young man. At first glance, Xiao Han didn’t look much different from a student. Liu Sandao on the Spectator Platform noticed Xiao Han at once.

“Xiao Han?” Liu Sandao exclaimed in surprise.

“Dao Ye, that’s Xiao Han,” said an assistant hastily.

“The old man is not blind,” Liu Sandao snorted coldly, then said, “Didn’t expect Xiao Han to really show up. Interesting.”

“Dao Ye, what do you think are the odds of Xiao Han winning?” The assistant asked curiously.

“Hmph, hard to say,” Liu Sandao shook his head, then said, “But I have high hopes for Xiao Han. I’m quite familiar with this kid’s strength. However, it’s uncertain whether he’ll agree to fight this person.”

Liu Sandao had witnessed how formidable Dark Angel was. Monkey King, White Tiger, King Kong—his three War Generals had faced him, and all had been brought to their knees. The opponent’s attacks were incredibly sharp and swift. This made Liu Sandao unsure, although Xiao Han was strong as well. But this tender and young Xiao Han, it was unknown whether he could actually win.

“Dao Ye, what about…” the assistant chuckled suggestively.

“I’d like to, but it’s hard to judge!” Liu Sandao shook his head.

“Risk goes hand-in-hand with riches,” the assistant smiled. “If you don’t take a gamble, how will you know whether you’ll lose or win?”

“Eh!” Liu Sandao nodded and said, “Since those scions from the Capital are willing to run the books and have a bit of fun, the old man might as well join them today. Go, send a message saying that Liu Sandao wants to bet big and see if they’d like to take it.”

“Yes!” The assistant immediately turned and ran off.

It wasn’t long before the assistant hurried back.

“Dao Ye, they said it doesn’t matter how big you play, they’ll take it,” the assistant returned excitedly.

“Right, what are the odds for both sides?” Liu Sandao inquired.

“The betting odds just went up, Dark Angel is at one to 1.1,” the assistant hastily replied. “As for Xiao Han… the odds are at one to two.”

“Heh heh…” When Liu Sandao heard this, he chuckled, “These odds for Dark Angel are too low. But correspondingly, the risk is smaller. Since that’s the case, we’ll try to snatch a chestnut from the fire. I don’t believe that fate would not favor me.”

“Dao Ye, how much shall we bet this time?” the assistant eagerly asked.

“Ten million!” Liu Sandao held up one finger.

“Roger that!” The assistant was just about to head to the betting counter.

“Wait!” Liu Sandao immediately stopped the assistant and added, “Put down thirty million!”

“Ah?” The assistant was shocked when he heard this and exclaimed, “Dao Ye, isn’t this…isn’t this bet a bit too big? After all, Xiao Han’s chances of winning are not that great right now. If he loses, your thirty million will have gone down the drain.”

“Hmph!” Liu Sandao snorted coldly, then said, “What’s thirty million, anyway? Just let it be if I lose. Consider it as if I’ve earned nothing this month. Go place the bet, today I’m putting it all on Xiao Han.”

Liu Sandao was somewhat acting on impulse.

Because his three Brave Generals were rendered useless, Liu Sandao was somewhat annoyed. Moreover, he had already lost over ten million on those three. Therefore, he placed all his hopes on Xiao Han, wishing that Xiao Han could win back a victory for him.

Soon, the thirty million bet was placed.

Wow…

The crowd on-site was immediately astounded. Had the thirty million been bet on Dark Angel, perhaps they would have accepted it. Even though Dark Angel’s odds were low, the money was a sure bet. Thirty million thrown down would result in a net profit of three million after the fight at an odds of 1.1 to 1. But if Xiao Han lost, that thirty million would have gone down the drain.

“Who placed that bet?”

“Who knows?”

“That’s too fierce, too terrifying, to place such a big bet.”

Many people started discussions, clearly not optimistic about Xiao Han. Some were even disdainful.

Meanwhile, in the sofa area.

Young Master Liu blinked his eyes and said, “Interesting, there’s such a big bet on Xiao Han. Hahaha, looks like this trip to Z province wasn’t in vain. Easy pickings of thirty million and a silver mine to boot.”

“Young Master Liu, the match hasn’t even started yet, and you’re already celebrating?” Young Master Li laughed.

“Young Master Liu.” At this moment, Young Master Bo laughed and said, “How about I join in on this round?”

“Oh?” Young Master Liu with the cock’s comb haircut suddenly laughed and asked, “Young Master Bo, you’ve never been fond of gambling before, what size wager would you like to place with me this time?”

“I have a club in the capital,” Young Master Bo laughed and continued, “Although it’s not as valuable as a silver mine, its revenue isn’t much less. If Young Master Liu is willing, I’ll bet this club, how about it?”

“Good!” On hearing this, Young Master Liu immediately became overjoyed and asked, “Are you talking about the Red Building?”

“Right!” Young Master Bo nodded and said, “Red Building has been a part of my business empire for many years, with a fixed customer base. It makes half a billion in annual revenue.”

“I know!” Young Master Liu became interested and said with a laugh, “I often go there, indeed it’s pretty good.”

“But, shouldn’t you put something on the line as well, Young Master Liu?” Young Master Bo asked with a smile.

“Hmm!” Young Master Liu nodded slightly, with one leg over the other and then with a smile, he said, “Oh right, I have a plot of land within the Capital’s Third Ring. It’s not very large, with an auction price of five hundred million. Let’s use this for our wager.”

“Deal!” Young Master Bo nodded.

Amidst the laughter, a bet worth several billion, even tens of billions, had begun. To them, it seemed like nothing, but those around who heard could not help but be astonished. They inwardly marveled at how these scions of the capital were casually gambling with hundreds of millions, casually referring to gold and silver mines.

…………

Xiao Han walked into the boxing ring with measured steps through the front entrance.

Atop the boxing ring, his opponent stared coldly at Xiao Han, eyes carrying a strange glint. There was an additional shade of murderous intent in his gaze. On closer inspection, Xiao Han realized that the man was mixed-race. From a distance, he seemed to be an Eastern man, but up close, it was apparent with his high nose bridge and pair of azure blue eyes that he was a Western hybrid. A cold smile lifted the corners of Xiao Han’s mouth.

“Are you here to die?” the man uttered with a guttural voice.

“To die?” Xiao Han shook his head and said, “I’m here to defeat you!”

“Really?” the man looked at Xiao Han disdainfully and then said, “With just you?”

“Yes!” Xiao Han nodded and declared, “Just me.”

“Waste of space!” the man huffed lightly, leaped into the air with both legs, like a bird taking flight. He pounced toward Xiao Han with terrifying speed, probably the strongest opponent Xiao Han had encountered so far.

Xiao Han’s eyes were like radar, closely tracking the opponent. His brain nerves were operating frantically, running at a crazy speed. Xiao Han’s brain was working incredibly fast, directing his limbs to respond as swiftly as possible to the opponent’s attack.

Bang, bang, bang…

Both moved swiftly; Xiao Han blocked the opponent’s three consecutive attacks in succession.

Swoosh…

Xiao Han flipped backward, landing steadily a yard away.

“Well done!” Young Master Li saw this scene and immediately cheered. Xiao Han’s ability to catch such a fierce attack indicated he had some skills. Young Master Li quickly shouted, “Young Master Mo, may I ask what’s the name of this guy?”
