Chapter 154 – Would You Like To Make a Bet?
<hr>
Old Sea fell silent, not saying a word . Chief Manager Wu had an ugly complexion and Clearwood watched with a bit of helplessness . They also thought that this would be the final result . When Wu Zetian had finished his task, this challenge was doomed .
Right now, there was still some time before the compet.i.tion ended . But was there any need to wait? More than one person had this thought . Slowly, eyes began to gather towards the committee members .
Chairman Xu coughed, maintaining his calm . “The three day limit still hasn’t arrived . Mister Ning may still continue . I believe that Grandmaster Wu wouldn’t mind this . ”
Old Sea had stated that whoever dared target Mister Ning would be the same as kicking him . The ever-intelligent Chairman Xu didn’t want to stir up any trouble for himself . In any case, what he said now was completely correct .
Grandmaster Wu Zetian had an indifferent look . With a look of grace and benevolent mercy, he faintly uttered, “It’s fine . Give the junior some time . ”
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a yawn . The door to the coral house was pushed open and a black-robed figure stepped out . “As I thought, the older you are the slower you are . I slept for a long time but now I’m finally out . ”
At this time, many seafolk were left speechless . How could you always talk about sleeping like this? Moreover, to say that at such a time, do you think we will believe you? What hollow boasting! Many eyes turned cold and started to look at Qin Yu with contempt and gloating . As they saw Qin Yu’s arrogant demeanor, they couldn’t wait for him to cry .
In front of Grandmaster Wu, could you still take out your Blue Sea Lotus seed?
Hehe, they were really looking forward to it!
Boos reverberated like an endless tide .
A thought suddenly formed in Qin Yu’s mind . His lips crooked and he lightly said, “It looks like many people aren’t satisfied with me . Then, how about we make a bet?”
Chief Manager Wu covered his face . This stream of conscious thinking had made a return!
Just what time was it that he actually had the mind to say such things?
Beside him, Clearwood also had a shocked expression .
Old Sea asked a question . After obtaining a response, he shook his head and bitterly smiled . His thoughts couldn’t help but begin racing .
This little friend Ning seemed to be quite confident in his words .
Chairman Xu lightly coughed . “Mister Ning, this doesn’t seem to align with the rules . ”
<hr>
Grandmaster Wu waved his hand . “It’s no problem . I also want to know, just what sort of bet would Mister Ning like to make?”
“It’s very simple . I think I will win, and those who don’t believe me can bet on Old Wu . If I win, then all bets are mine . If I lose, then I will compensate accordingly . ” Qin Yu smiled . “Old Wu, would you like to make a bet too?”
Grandmaster Wu smiled, not seeming angry at all . In fact, his eyes were quite gentle . “Very well . Since a junior like you dares to open a bet, it would be unfair to you if I didn’t join in . ”
He turned around and beckoned . Several people immediately flew forwards from the square and arrived at the altar .
“Calculate how much in a.s.sets I have and just how much money I have on hand . ” Grandmaster Wu Zetian was a Purple Card so it was natural for him to be incredibly rich . It came as no surprise that he had people who specially managed his finances .
Soon, the chief accountant replied, “Grandmaster, you have 75 million spirit stones you can use . If it isn’t enough, we can find more capital . ”
Grandmaster Wu Zetian turned and faintly smiled . “Junior, did you hear that? Can you accept that amount?”
Whoosh –
From inside and outside Prosperity Square, there was an uproar!
75 million spirit stones would be a horrifying amount of wealth to anyone . Perhaps only the royal palace and peak sects and families would be able to produce such an amount .
The sea races were wealthy and loved gambling . It was one of the most popular pastimes in the capital city, and there were always many high rolling players .
But 75 million spirit stones…that was completely unprecedented!
Qin Yu smiled . “I’ll accept, of course I’ll accept . If Old Wu wants to give me money, how can I refuse?” His eyes turned around . “Then, is there anyone else that would like to join? Everyone else can also join in; I will accept all bets . ”
“Will you really accept all? Can we also join in?” An old man in the audience suddenly spoke up . He was surrounded by a bevy of beautiful women and had a large gem-adorned ring on his finger .
Qin Yu raised a finger . “Of course . I will accept every bet!”
“Then put down a million for me!” The old man was also quite interested . He pulled out a spirit stone card .
“I will also join in!”
“Record down 100 thousand for me!”
“50,000!”
“I’ll also bet 30,000!”
The capital city never lacked the rich . Although there wasn’t anyone who placed such a colossal bet, the amount of arms that thrust out and waved spirit stone cards was like a dense and dreadful jungle .
This was an almost guaranteed chance to win money! Of course no one wanted to miss out on it!
Grandmaster Wu grew increasingly happy with every additional bet . He seemed to already be imagining the horrifying lifetime of debt that Qin Yu would suffer with for the rest of his life . However, this still wasn’t enough . His eyes brightened and his smile widened . “Junior, today’s amount will be astronomical . How can you guarantee that you will be able to compensate everyone?”
Qin Yu nodded . “Old Wu is right . Since I opened the bet, I should at least give a guarantee . ”
But before he could continue speaking, Old Sea’s voice sounded out . “I will act as a guarantor for little friend Ning . ”
