54 Gathering Of Super Rich. (1/2)
The first bet that A'Xiu had made was a win. A'Xiu's face blushed for winning a huge amount of cash. She looked at Brother Zhang and Xiao Wang excitedly.
”Brother Chen, why don't you have some fun too?”
Xiao Wang wrapped his arm around Yang Li and asked Chen Fan with a cold smile.
The moment that A'Xiu rose to the bait, he had already forgotten about Chen Fan. He invited Chen Fan to join the group only to lure the girl into his trap.
The excitement was written all over A'Xiu's face. However, her mind was calm and clear. She spoke quietly under her breath, ”Mr. Chen is a powerful man; he wouldn't bet on such small games.”
”Powerful man?” Xiao Wang pouted his lips as he tried to suppress a peal of laughter.
”You mean him?”
Chen Fan was so stingy that he would not even give his girlfriend ten thousand yuan for some fun. What kind of powerful person would do that?
However, seeing the sincerity in A'Xiu's eyes, he let the matter rest and didn't say anything more.
In the next few days, Xiao Wang guided Chen Fan and A'Xiu around the village in the day and went to bet on the tournament matches in the night. A'Xiu had borrowed a lot of money from Xiao Wang, but she had won even more. Despite her excitement for her streak of luck, she didn't let herself get carried away. For most of the time, she stayed close to Chen Fan and only bet on the matches once or twice in a night. Seeing his advance was slowing down, Xiao Wang started to loath Chen Fan and wanted to remove him out of the picture.
Chen Fan was not interested in the tournament at all. It was still very early in the game, and therefore, most of the fighters were not very powerful as those who survived until the final.
At last the final match was going to draw back its curtains.
Chen Fan arrived at the outskirts of the village in the afternoon, and right away, he noticed the stage set up was different. There were no more enclosures. Instead, the wall had been taken down to make space for a tall platform beside the stage.
The platform was surrounded by buff and brawny bodyguards who looked like very powerful fighters.
The audience sat in their chairs and waited in silence.
This was the day when all the bosses in Jiang Bei region came to gather around. To these tycoons, this event was like an annual conference.
”There they are.”
A murmur rose from the audience as a group of people walked to the platform.
”That one is Boss Xin Zhong from my home town: Tian He City.”
”Humph, Baldy Liu had come as well.”
”Wait a minute, I only see Zhou Tianhao, where is the Third Lord of Wei?”
Every time a businessman appeared at the platform, a swell of murmurs rose from the audience. Some voices were packed with jealousy, and others loathing.
”How come Lord Wu of Jiang Zhou City had sent a girl to come in his stead?”
Some visitors from Jiang Zhou spoke under their breath.
After a while, the last tycoon appeared on the stage. The entire arena fell into a reverential silence as everyone gazed at the middle age scholarly looking man.
”The Greatest Lord of the Jiang Bei Region.
”Xu Ao of Hai Dong”
Of all the people on the platform, Xu Ao was the most powerful one.
Not only did he control the biggest city in the Jiang Bei region, but he also owned a majority share in a public company that was worth tens of billions of yuan. Thanks to his powerful protectors and immense financial capability, he overwhelmingly dominated the power dynamic with the other tycoons.
Seeing Xu Ao's imposing demeanor, some business magnates snorted.
Xu Ao let their jealous insults slide off his mind and sat stately in the center seat of the table. Master Gu, however, gave the scorner a cold and sharp glance.
The scorner was none other than Xin Zhong.
To Master Gu's surprise, he only saw Master Wu sitting beside Xin Zhong, but didn't see the overseas master that everyone had been talking about.
”Humph! Laugh while you still can.” Master Gu thought to himself.
After everyone had sat down, Baldy Liu stared at the only woman among the bosses and said with a smirk,
”Is there really no one else in the Jiang Zhou City that they had to send a girl?”
The person who represented Jiang Zhou City was a girl in a green shirt.
She was not the drop-dead gorgeous kind but looked dainty and refined. She wore a green Qipao dress and a pair of silk slippers with delicate embroidery. Her snow-white arm was decorated with a pair of wrist bands made out of green jade. Her unique style of antiquity and culture made her look like a beauty from ancient times.
The girl didn't even grace Baldy Liu with a glance, but a middle age bodyguard stepped forward angrily.
”Calm down, both of you. Lord Wu is not feeling well and therefore, had asked Miss Lu to come in his stead. Lord Wu had informed me about it ahead of time. ” Xu Ao explained slowly.
Baldy Liu murmured something under his breath and kept his silence.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
