Chapter 261 Could It Also Be Played In This Way? (1/2)
After knowing the amount of the bets everyone had placed, Qin Sheng could not help laughing. What the hell? Even he was not sure whether Lao Chang could win or not. He had just asked Lao Chang if he was interested to go there to practice his fighting skills and become famous or not. How come those people trusted him that much?
Qin Sheng could not help but mumble and said, “It is not easy to make money. When you are gambling, you need to be prudent.” He was also doing that to give them a piece of kind advice. Otherwise, they would blame him if they lost at that time.
Yang Deng said happily, “Qin Sheng, I believe you. It is just two million dollars. If we lose, that’s it. We won’t blame you. We just can’t put up with the arrogant attitude the group of people on the other side have been holding.”
To Yang Deng, originally, two million dollars had been nothing at all. Plus, he had won a lot that night, which was totally credited back to Qin Sheng’s judgment.
Ma Chao also echoed as he said, “Brother Qin, as for one million dollars, it is just a petty thing. I will pretend that I have spent that to buy a car.”
At that moment, Luo Changgong, who had placed a ten-million-dollar bet, was silent. Actually, by doing that, he was also taking the risk. However, he did so mostly for his dignity. He did not think of Qin Sheng as a pretty bold person. Based on his understanding of that young man, he would not do something he was not confident of.
Qin Sheng could understand all of them, except for Boss Li from Shanghai. He had bet five million dollars, which Qin Sheng found it confusing, more or less.
“Boss, we don’t need to be in the middle of this. Those local tyrants in Hangzhou are trying their best to win back their dignities,” Boss Li’s trusted subordinate muttered.
Li Jun replied smilingly, “Did you already forget what happened in Shanghai? If Qin Sheng had not been capable, since he had successfully killed Zhou Wenwu, he certainly would have some masters under his charge. Moreover, to me, five million dollars is nothing at all.”
The trusted subordinate replied in a hurry, “You are right. Boss.”
Li Jun said to the female fighter by his side, who had helped him earn money that night, “Yueji. The way you see it, how is that man? Who could win?”
“He is of a low profile, introvert, and he is of outstanding bearing. Even if he loses, he won’t lose in an awkward way. However, only after they start fighting will I see more clues,” The female player named Yueji said randomly.
Li Jun said laughed happily as he said, “Then, let’s see first.”
The people on Luo Changgong’s side all finished placing their bets. Except for those ones who had already placed their bets, excluding the bets made by the audience, there were several other tycoons on Luo Changgong’s side who had placed bets. The total amount of the bets made by them was already at 35 million dollars, which was enough to set off the gambling odds set up by the boxing field.
At that moment, the people on Yuan Ke’s side were also discussing about how much they were going to bet. Since Yan Qing had never been defeated, Yuan Ke was confident about him the most. Originally, he had been constantly winning, so it was a matter of course, he would not let go of the last chance to make money. He placed a 15 million-dollar bet without any hesitation at all. The total amount of the bets made on his side was at 30 million dollars.
Half an hour later, the time for betting was finally up. The bets made on Yan Qing’s favor was estimated to be at 60 million dollars, including those placed by the audiences present. After Qin Sheng knew of that number, he was directly astounded. How f**king wild the people in this boxing field had dared to play. Obviously, it was not a boast at all that the turnover for the boxing field per night was at several billion dollars. As for the bets placed on Chang Baji’s side, it just exceeded 40 million dollars; of course, the 35 million dollars placed by the tycoons on Luo Changgong’s side was also included. Obviously, the audience did not trust Chang Baji at all.
Since the time for betting was up, then, obviously, the last fight was about to begin.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I announce that the match initiated by the challenger begins now,” the host said pretty excitedly. Since another fight had been added on the spot, he certainly would earn a healthy commission.
Chang Baji looked at Qin Sheng sitting below and nodded silently. To him, he had already taken advantage of Yan Qing since Yan Qing had just finished one fight. He was fresh and fit. Instead, his opponent was weary and exhausted.
At that time, the two contenders were two meters apart. Neither of them took the initiative to strike out first. They were both observing each other. All the people in the boxing field were silent. The atmosphere was nervous, defensive, and aggressive. They were all waiting for a good show to be displayed.
At that moment, Chang Baji said indifferently, “Since you have just finished one game, even if I beat you, I will have an unfair advantage over you. I will concede to you by only using one of my legs, namely, my right leg. I would not use my left leg. It could be counted as a fair game, more or less.”
After Chang Baji finished that sentence, all the people on the scene went wild.
Chang Baji had gone somewhat too far to act posingly. Some were directly astounded on the spot. Was he confident or self-righteous? Qin Sheng did not know whether he should laugh or cry, he thought in secret, Lao Chang, Lao Chang, since you knew you would win, that would do. Why did you intend to make an unnecessary move all of a sudden? You are doing this to increase the level of the difficulties of the game.
“He is posing amazingly,” Ma Chao said, also feeling confused.
However, Yang Deng did not think so. He thought it was not self-righteous of Chang Baji to do so. The reason why he had done that was that he felt f**king confident. He actually was playing with his opponent by only using one leg.
However, the group of people, including Luo Changgong and Li Jun, did not like what Chang Baji had done. As experienced Old Foxes, who had been hanging around society for many years, when it came to the things which could be settled by paying ten dollars, they certainly would not be willing to pay two more extra dollars. They thought of it as a troublesome issue.
“He does f**king make light of us,” Old Monk said somewhat indignantly. What Chang Baji had done was a complete insult to them. He was also doing that to humiliate them, indicating that he did not give a damn about them at all.
Yuan Ke sneered as he said, “If he intends to act posingly, let him be. Let’s see how silly they look later on.”
There were only Chang Baji and Yan Qing on the stage. Upon hearing Chang Baji’s wordings, obviously, Yan Qing did not feel happy at all. However, since he had concealed his delight and anger, he did not show any outward emotions, indicating he felt dissatisfied. He needed an authentic opponent instead of a false one, who kept talking silly things without practicing any skills at all. As long as Chang Baji was powerful enough, he would feel sufficiently excited.
