Chapter 179: The Draw and the Old Friend’s Visi (2/2)

Then, Bai Xiaofei gave a random excuse to leave with his classmates. The match would only start in the afternoon. Everyone still had some time to rest.

Unfortunately, Bai Xiaofei was not given any chance to rest. The moment he entered his classroom, he was surrounded by a few of his old friends. Xie Guangyun and the other bosses were here to see him.

“Sorry for disturbing you right before the match, Brother Bai.”

Xie Guangyun rubbed his hands apologetically. The other bosses were behaving similarly as well. Apart from remorse, a trace of anticipation could be seen in their eyes as well.

“We are all old friends here. There is no need to be so polite. Say it. Why are you looking for me?”

Bai Xiaofei said with a faint smile. It was quite rare to see him so amiable and approachable.

“Mhm…how should I put it? We are here to clarify one thing with you.”

Xie Guangyun gulped and entered the main topic with a somewhat awkward look on him. Bai Xiaofei gazed at him and waited silently.

“We want to know how confident you are in becoming the champion of this tournament.”

The moment this question was asked, their eyes shone with a sharp gaze. Bai Xiaofei immediately understood why they were here. They were here for the bet. People wanting to get rich overnight could be found anywhere gambling services were provided. This would never change. For the four bosses, Bai Xiaofei was their hope to make an easy and quick profit off the bets.

Bai Xiaofei had a faint smile on his face. Rather than answering immediately, he slowed himself down and started speaking leisurely.

“This…I am not sure. After all, the other classes are still hiding their true strength. It won’t be nice of me to bluff and mislead you guys, right?”

Immediately after Bai Xiaofei spoke, the four bosses understood the true meaning behind his words. Since he had not outright denied the possibility of his class winning, there was indeed a chance they could win. The reason he hadn’t told them anything was quite obvious for the four bosses who were all smart people.

“Don’t worry, Brother Bai. You will receive your fair share of the profit. We will give you 20% of our winnings from the bet.”

Xie Guangyun proposed without bothering to beat around the bush.

He would never believe that Bai Xiaofei would not be able to see what they were trying to do. The four bosses had interacted with Bai Xiaofei a few times recently and they knew the type of person he was. That was why they had immediately placed their offer on the table. A share of 20% was, in fact, a very big share.

Bai Xiaofei was very satisfied with this offer. After smiling, he took out his bet receipt.

“I will make it simple. I had previously betted 3.25 billion Amethyst Coins on my class winning. Of course, you guys are free to interpret this as you wish.”

Facts would speak louder than words. The bet receipt Bai Xiaofei was holding was the strongest evidence of his confidence. The four bosses gulped before making up their minds.

They had believed that Bai Xiaofei wasn’t so stupid that he couldn’t understand why they were here. Similarly, they would not believe that Bai Xiaofei was stupid enough to give the Babel Merchant House free money.

“Thank you, Brother Bai. We will go place our bet now and wait for your good news!”

The four bosses bade Bai Xiaofei farewell and hurried towards the Babel Merchant House. At this point in the tournament, the odds of betting on the winning class were very different than earlier. The Savage Class had the highest odds among the top ten classes. Therefore, the four bosses had to make the bet as soon as possible.
