Chapter 44 (2/2)

Xu Yi had hired Yuan Qinghua to do this. He took a stack of gold vouchers from his pocket and placed it on the stone table. “In total, 1000 gold vouchers. Buy them all.”

The 900 Gold from Jiang Shaochuan along with his original 350 Gold made up to a total of 1250 Gold. He used 1000 to place a bet.

Yuan Qinghua had known that his boss was arrogant, but not this arrogant. 1000 Gold on a bet? Not even a rich noble would dare to do this.

“Alright, do not worry sir. I will go and come back to try and attain thirty to one before buying them back for you.”

Yuan Qinghua was afraid that the odds would change as he grabbed the golden tickets and bolted.

“Hold up! I haven’t said who to place the bet on. Place it on Yi Shenbu and buy from whichever stall has the highest odds,” Xu Yi grabbed Yuan Qinghua’s wrist and commanded in a low voice.

“What!?”

Yuan Qinghua was shocked, making his hair stand. “Sir, are you sure!? That is equivalent to burning your money. If you think you have too much money, you can just give it to me!”

“What rubbish! Do you know who Yi Shenbu is?”

“Could it be that Boss knows?”

“He is your Business Owner!”

Yuan Qinghua widened his eyes in shock as if he had seen a ghost. He thought about his boss’s surname and the signboard of Guang’an that was hung in Furong Town. He finally understood.

“This, this, how…”

Yuan Qinghua was speechless.

He did not know what to say. He wanted to advise his boss to run away quickly, yet he also knew that the odds were released from the gambling stall and that his house was under close surveillance. It was ridiculous to persuade the boss that Gao Pan would win, and he could not bring himself to do it. What was worse was that he had just been hired, and the room in East City had been rented out before he came. He had just brought his luggage over. Was Heaven playing a joke on him? He had yet to officially begin working and his boss was about to die.

Xu Yi pondered and thought about it. He smiled. “Don’t just stand there; I know my place and am aware. Quickly place your bet for me. Don’t worry, if I die on the fighting stage, you will have a year’s allowance given to you.

Yuan Qinghua’s face changed as he hurriedly said, “Boss! I am not doing this for the commission! Forget it, forget it. As a favour to you and a token of my loyalty, wait here!” After speaking, he bolted into the darkness.
