Chapter 506: I can betray everyone in the world but one person (2/2)

This was utterly unbelievable.

”No way... why would Luoqin listen to him?!”

”What is happening?”

”You have to be kidding me. Is the boss of the Seven Star Lane mad? Why would he let Luoqin come down? That's 1.3 million silvers!”

”No way... I must be seeing things... I must be seeing things...”

No one could believe their eyes when they saw Luoqin now to them. They were so stunned that they forgot to scream and clap.

Calling this a miracle would be a gross understatement. There were no words to describe the shock they had just experienced.

”Ding!”

The music from the Guqin filled the air.

It sounded calm and smooth, almost like a light breeze caressing the surface of a lake. Then, there was the feeling of a light drizzle causing little ripples on the surface.

Everyone calmed down when they heard this music. It soothed the raging ocean of emotions in the room.

A calming and relaxing sensation came over everyone.

Finally, the music stopped.

Everyone looked away from Luoqin. They turned to look at the seated figure in the middle of the room.

Fang Zhengzhi!

”He guessed it!”

”How did he manage to guess that? Is he even human?”

”Is he a monster? Even monsters aren't capable of being so accurate in their predictions. Do you think he is related to the Seven Star...”

”No way! How powerful is the Seven Star Lane? He is a peasant by birth! Why would he be related to them?”

”Most importantly, this is the capital! There are so many people going in and out every day. He couldn't possibly have been hiding here for the past year!”

”Yes, the only reason why he managed to enter the city this time was because Chi Hou and Yan Xiu were escorting him. Furthermore, he had assistance from Ping Yang. Else, he would not have been able to enter! How could he possibly have hid here over the past year?”

The crowd had calmed down initially. However, when they looked at Fang Zhengzhi, a wave of emotions came over them and they began to become boisterous again.

They couldn't understand...

Why would Luoqin appear right after Fang Zhengzhi said 'come down!'?

Was it a coincidence?

The crowd looked at each other and nodded. They couldn't think of any other possibilities

After all, Fang Zhengzhi's background was an open secret.

He was a peasant.

He only had one friend, Yan Xiu. Even though Yan Xiu was powerful and influential, his family would never meddle in the affairs of the Seven Star Lane.

Without considering anything else...

Yan Qianli wouldn't allow it!

As for Ping Yang?

That was impossible as well! Why would a princess open a place like this in the capital? Ping Yang didn't need the money.

So how did Fang Zhengzhi manage to get it right everytime?

Even if Fang Zhengzhi knew the person who owned the Seven Star Lane, this night would cost the owner 1.3 million silvers!

What relationship was worth that much money?

Even the tax collected by a single province barely reached one million silvers. Even though business was brisk, 1.3 million was not a small sum.

As such...

This should never have happened!

The only possible reason was that this was a coincidence! But what was the boss thinking? Why would he not change the plan knowing that he would lose 1.3 million silvers?

Was he really that willful?

No one in the crowd could understand it. At that moment, a figure fell to his knees, tears of regret rolling down his cheeks.

Young Master Fang, I, Wen Dabao, am an idiot... I should never have doubted you. I should have followed your bets! Next time, I will bet on whatever you bet. Even if you bet on eight, nine, or even 10! I will never doubt you... since you won 300,000 silvers, please spare me some!”

Wen Dabao lunged for Fang Zhengzhi's right leg as he bawled.

At that very moment, there was a voice next to him.

”Scram!”

Then, he felt a wave of force crash into his face. He began tumbling backward.

He crashed into the seat of another member of the crowd.

”Plonk!”

Before that man could react, Wen Dabao was sent crashing into him. He fell to the ground and broke a tooth.

Just as he was about to swear, he saw a red figure stand up.

Then...

Both Wen Dabao and that member of the crowd shut up instantly.

Usually, they would have the right to speak. However, when faced with Ping Yang, all their rights went out the window.

”Not bad, this place is pretty generous!” Ping Yang chuckled and smiled at Fang Zhengzhi.

Actually...

Anyone who had just won 450,000 silvers in one sitting would be smiling this radiantly, even if they didn't need the silvers.

”I can let everyone but one person down!” Fang Zhengzhi smirked when he looked at Ping Yang. He knew what she was thinking.

Sometimes, a decision may look dumb or stupid. No one may understand your decision and everyone may think that you've lost your mind.

But it didn't matter.

That was a necessary cause of action.

In his previous world, there was a saying. I would rather betray everyone in the world than to have one person betray me.

To Fang Zhengzhi, he could betray everyone in the world but one person. That person had rushed to the Northern Mountain Village from Western Liang in three days.

That man's name...

Yan Xiu!

It was decided from the moment Yan Xiu bet on all seven stars appearing. He would not be disappointed tonight!
