Chapter 445 The Heavenly Tiger Hall’s Plans (2/2)

Innkeeper Chou saw the smile on Sima You Yue's face, and took note to keep an eye on the crystals under the counter. He said, ”This is not certain. If you guys get killed by the Heavenly Tiger Hall, I'll lose a lot of this money!”

With that, he tossed out a book and said, ”Look at this thick book! All these people are betting on your death.”Sima You Yue grabbed it and looked through it. Huh. At least ten thousand individuals had bet on the fact that they Heavenly Tiger Hall would destroy them!

Innkeeper Chou took out another book and said, ”These are those that bet on you being safe.” Sima You Yue took the book and went through them very quickly. Because there were only a few hundred people who had this sentiment, it barely took up a few pages.

”What about the last outcome?” She recalled that there was one last option where they destroyed the Heavenly Tiger Hall, yet he had not taken out that record.

”There's not a single person betting on that.” Innkeeper Chou said. ”I say, if I wasn't the one carrying out the gamble, I would have bet on that one. But I can't bet on that, because I won't get paid anyway.”

Sima You Yue saw that Innkeeper Chou's expression seemed as though he thought that he would lose a lot of money, and said, ”If you dare to bet like that, aren't you afraid that you might lose everything?”

”I've lived for so long, I know how to read people.” Innkeeper Chou said.

Sima You Yue smiled and said, ”Seeing Innkeeper Chou's attitude towards the Zhou siblings, and his refined mannerisms, I might conclude that you might actually be a monster that has lived for more than a thousand years.” Indeed, Innkeeper Chou did look like a middle-aged man, and his white clothes made him look even more graceful, except that his eyes, that were filled with greed, were a dead giveaway. Hearing what she said, Innkeeper Chou's lips curled.

A thousand year old monster? He wasn't that old! He should at least get that right!

”Let's say, as we had agreed, since you've taken us on a bet, then we must have a share of the winnings. I don't want much, I just want half of it.” Sima You Yue smiled, saying.

”Half?” Innkeeper Chou jumped at the words that came out of her mouth. ”You guys did nothing, why should you get half?”

”Why not?” Sima You Yue said. ”Don't you do nothing as well? You just write down people's names and stuff, but we're actually putting in the effort to fight!”

”But you can't do that!” Innkeeper Chou flatly disagreed. ”I'll give you a third.”

”A third…” Sima You Yue put both her hands on the counter and stared right at Innkeeper Chou, saying, ”Do you believe me when I say that I can make it such that you do not earn a single cent, and even have to sacrifice your fortune for it all?”

Innkeeper Chou's eyelids twitched. His intuition told him that she might actually do as she says.

”Alright, alright.” He waved her off, saying, ”I can give you half. But don't ask me for such a high price next time.” He was shocked by what he said, how did he give way so easily?

Sima You Yue smiled and said, ”We'll see how things go! But seeing how easygoing Innkeeper Chou is, next time, I'll give you a discount of ten percent.” With that, she and Bei Gong Tang prepared to leave, only to come back after taking a couple of steps, saying, ”All these outcomes aren't accurate, you can entice more people to come and make their bet.” They then turned around and left, leaving Innkeeper Chou to savour what she had said.

Not a single prediction was accurate? Could there be other possibilities? Should he believe what he said?

Forget it, it might be better to believe him. If he had to pay at the end of the day, that fellow would not be able to earn anyway.

Thinking about all this, he suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, ”Darn it! We've agreed that if I won, then he would have half of the winnings, but we said nothing about him paying half of it if I lost the money!”
