School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Won

Boom…

Suddenly, a muffled sound, as Xiao Han’s foot tapped on the throat of Dark Angel.

Rumbling…

Dark Angel immediately rolled out, his body tumbling several times on the ground.

Splutter…

Dark Angel spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Struggling to his feet, he looked at Xiao Han with an incredulous gaze and said, “You… how is this possible!”

“A mere Minor Forbidden Technique cannot hold me,” Xiao Han replied disdainfully and asked, “Did you think you could kill me?”

“You… how did you do it?” Dark Angel’s eyes widened in shock.

“Want to know?” Xiao Han took slow steps towards him. Pinching a steel needle in his hand, he said, “Then I shall tell you.”

Xiao Han squatted down in front of Dark Angel and whispered in his ear, “I am that person from the Outer Domain.”

Hisss…

Dark Angel gasped in horror. He stared blankly at Xiao Han.

Sizzle…

The steel needle, held between Xiao Han’s fingers, swiftly pierced into Dark Angel’s temple.

“You…” Dark Angel gasped sharply, then his body slowly fell back, eyes wide open, never to close again.

Seeing this, the referee hurried forward to check the situation.

“This round, Xiao Han wins!” the referee shouted loudly.

Whoosh…

A burst of exclamations filled the venue.

“***, it’s a fix.”

“Definitely a fix.”

“Damn it, are they disregarding human life just to make money?”

Many people in the audience started to shout out loud, protesting against Dark Angel’s death. They had placed a lot of money on Dark Angel. For them, with Dark Angel dead, their money was completely lost.

Thousands of spectators, with tens of millions bet on Dark Angel alone. Xiao Han’s side had little to no bets, and even if there were any on Xiao Han, it was a minuscule amount. Aside from Liu Sandao’s thirty million, there was only a pitiful sum of over two hundred thousand.

Seeing Xiao Han’s victory, Liu Sandao was immediately ecstatic, “Fuck, won, damn it, the old man won!!”

“Congratulations Dao Ye on the windfall of thirty million!” his assistant hurriedly said.

“Hmm!” Liu Sandao took a deep breath of satisfaction. It was such a thrilling feeling. Initially, he found it very exciting, but now that he had won the money, Liu Sandao felt an unparalleled thrill, more so than earning the thirty million himself. Liu Sandao took a heavy drag on his cigarette and then said, “Go and retrieve the money.”

“Right away!” The assistant scurried off.

The venue was still chaotic, and Liu Sandao ordered his men to stabilize the order. People could die on the ring, but absolutely not in the spectator stands. If a stampede accident occurred in the stands, it would be real trouble, not to mention his own misfortune, but also his venue might get shut down. Thus, Liu Sandao would not allow anyone to cause trouble in his venue or let anyone disrupt his business.

Dao Meng’s men quickly brought the order back to the scene.

Although the people protested and felt helpless, there was no one to blame for such behavior in the gambling arena. Even if they wanted to call the police, it would probably be futile. First, there was no evidence; second, the authorities would not and dare not intervene. Third, anyone who reported it would certainly not be spared by Dao Meng. This was not the first time such incidents had happened. Money and life, which is more important? Everyone had a scale in their heart and did not dare to act rashly.

Compared to these people’s bets, the bets of the young masters in the sofa area were really extravagant. They gambled copper mines, private clubs, and even plots of land in Beijing City. This was indeed a rare, sensational gamble of a lifetime.

Young Master Liu smoked his cigarette in silence, not speaking.

“Young Master Liu, you have lost this time,” said Young Master Li with a smile. Wearing a white shirt, covered with a long coat, he played with a string of prayer beads in his hand and chucklingly said, “I won’t be polite then about that gold mine in the Northwest?”

“Hmph!” Young Master Liu replied disdainfully, “A mere gold mine doesn’t matter to me.”

That gold mine indeed wasn’t worth worrying about since it had been exploited for many years. Although it’s still being mined, the output had been increasingly dwindling. Previously it could earn several billion a year, but now it barely makes one billion. However, even this output was still considered a piece of fat meat, an endless fortune for the average person.

Young Master Bo, being the youngest, not yet thirty, and one of the prominent young masters of Beijing, smiled at Young Master Liu, “Young Master Liu, that plot of land in the third ring, I’ll have someone take over it soon.”

“So what if it’s just a plot of land?” Young Master Liu said with disdain, “I have many more pieces of land in Beijing City. That small plot is nothing. If you want it, go take it.”

Young Master Liu was wealthy and spoke in an astonishing tone.

To think, properties in Beijing City could go for tens of millions per square meter. To sell the buildings constructed on that plot of land would amount to a huge fortune. Just thinking about it made people drool. Yet, that Young Master Liu had quite a number of these plots in Beijing, stirring envy.

“Young Master Liu.” At this moment, a man in a black suit hurried over.

“What’s the matter?” Young Master Liu was already in a bad mood, and being disturbed only made him more irritable.

“We lost the betting pool,” the man in the suit said awkwardly, “Dao Meng’s Liu Sandao placed thirty million on Xiao Han, and now we have to…pay him thirty million. The pool was only twenty million. We’re short by nearly ten million.”

“Just pay him off,” Young Master Liu said dismissively with a wave of his hand.

“Yes!” the man in the suit quickly nodded.

He had thought they would make a killing here today, but instead, they had lost both their principal and a troop—disheartening and irritating.

Youth Master Liu exhaled a deep breath and then said, “Alright, let’s go.”

“Young Master Liu, what’s the rush?” Young Master Li smiled and said, “You’re leaving just like that after the fight? Not going to sit for a while?”

“I’d rather not sit,” Young Master Liu shook his head, his heart was so tormented, who would feel like sitting here?

At this moment, Mo Shaocong and Xiao Han returned to the sofa area.

When Xiao Han won, Mo Shaocong was so excited that his heart nearly burst out of his throat—he was ecstatic. Two copper mines, yielding an annual production value of nearly a hundred million. Although he was wealthy, that wealth was earned through the family business. Now, he had finally made his first pot of gold relying on his own abilities and connections. This was equivalent to owning two huge gold mines.

“Xiao Han, I really owe you one this time,” Mo Shaocong said excitedly to Xiao Han.

“No need to mention it!” Xiao Han shook his head and said, “You’ve helped me a few times, too.”

“That was nothing,” Mo Shaocong shook his head and said, “Trivial service, but this time you risked your life for me. I feel ashamed as a big brother.”

“You’re taking it too seriously, big brother,” Xiao Han gestured.

When the two reached the sofa area, Young Master Liu squinted his eyes at Xiao Han and asked, “Xiao Han? Not bad in terms of strength.”

“You flatter me,” Xiao Han responded with a slight smile, neither arrogant nor humble.

“I’ll remember you,” Young Master Liu sneered, then said, “You killed my capable brave general. Sooner or later, I’ll settle this account with you.”

“Hey, hey…” Young Master Li quickly stood up and said, “Young Master Liu, that’s not right. You lost the match, are you going to lose your integrity, too? Xiao Han won against your man, how can you threaten him like that? That’s not your style!”

“Hmph!” Young Master Liu snorted coldly and turned to leave: “Let’s go!”

With that, he took his people and left the underground boxing ring.

Young Master Li and Young Master Bo revealed a smile, then said, “Young Master Liu lost, he must feel like a million ants are crawling in his heart.”

“Indeed,” Mo Shaocong laughed heartily and then said, “He must be very unwilling to accept the loss. Definitely very annoyed. So, I guess this guy will go back and beat someone up again.”

“Haha…” Young Master Li patted Mo Shaocong’s shoulder and said, “Mo Shao, you really did us a favor this time. We should really thank you.”

“Not at all, not at all!” Mo Shaocong hurriedly shook his head, then said, “I just did what I had to do.”

“We will definitely give you the two copper mines we promised,” Young Master Li assured Mo Shaocong, adding, “We feel great about this time. Hahaha…”

“I’m thrilled just watching,” Mo Shaocong smiled and replied.

Young Master Bo stood up, looked at Xiao Han with a smile, and asked, “Xiao Han, I’m very curious what you said to him at the end?”

“Young Master Bo, I didn’t quite catch it,” Xiao Han shook his head.

“I mean, what did you say to Dark Angel when he died?” asked Young Master Bo curiously.

“Nothing much, just told him that he couldn’t possibly beat me,” Xiao Han said with a smile.

On hearing this, Young Master Bo laughed, “Impressive, a real master. Even in his death, he couldn’t escape that pressure.”

“Yes!” Xiao Han nodded.

“Good, very good,” Young Master Bo nodded and then said, “Mo Shao, you really need to thank Xiao Han for us later.”

“Certainly,” Mo Shaocong nodded and said, “I will. Xiao Han is already my brother. Thanking him is what should be done.”

Young Master Bo nodded slightly and said, “Very well, Young Master Li, we should be going now.”

“Yes,” Young Master Li nodded.

The two young masters from Beijing also left the underground boxing ring, walking slowly away under the protection of their bodyguards. Their departure was quite grand, illustrating their distinguished backgrounds and considerable power.

However, Xiao Han didn’t have much regard for these so-called young masters. To him, they were just so-so. Xiao Han had stepped forward to help solely because Mo Shaocong had asked him; otherwise, Xiao Han’s nature would have prevented him from getting involved, no matter the amount of money offered.

“Xiao Han, are you alright?” Mo Shaocong said, supporting Xiao Han.

“I’m fine,” Xiao Han’s vital energy was somewhat depleted.

The battle was fierce. Despite lasting less than twenty minutes, it was one of Xiao Han’s most exhausting fights. First, the enemy’s Plum Blossom Needle had pierced his legs. That steel needle had even gone through his leg bones—the pain was unbearable. Most importantly, freeing himself from the Dark Angel’s Forbidden Technique had drained all his strength. He had almost been killed by his opponent.
