Chapter 681: Chapter 681 Bets in a Casino
In the competition, the odds of the casino for the bulky man were one to one, while the odds of the short man were one to two. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Although the odds were high, there were more people who bet on the victory of the bulky man. Many of those in the audience recognized him. He had a nickname, God of Strength, who had made his name known out there.
After scanning the area, Ye Liuyun advised Wu Qingcheng to bet on the shorter guy.
Captain One-eyed had just settled back in his seat when he saw Ye Liuyun ordering Wu Qingcheng to place a bet. He immediately followed Ye Liuyun by placing ten upper-grade spiritual stones to bet on the victory of the shorter guy.
On the other hand, Wu Qingcheng directly withdrew 200 upper-grade spiritual stones to bet on the success of the shorter guy.
"Young lady, the little guy is bound to lose!" A young man next to her had been staring at the few of them since Ye Liuyun and the others entered the room.
Seeing that Wu Qingcheng was going to bet, he took the opportunity to come over and greet them.
He felt that he had a higher chance of winning since he was on the Fourth Level of the Yin-yang Realm in comparison to the young man with Golden Phantom Eyes beside Wu Qingcheng.
To his dismay, Wu Qingcheng did nothing more than dart a glance at him without bothering to take a proper look at him.
The young man explained to himself, "This tougher guy is known by the address God of Strength. He can strike out the strength of the Third or Forth Level Yin-yang Realm in one punch. I don’t think the little guy is capable of taking a single punch from him."
After completing the formalities, Wu Qingcheng directly turned around and left without even a glance at him.
The young man trailed behind, pestering non-stop, "What’s your name, young lady? I’m an inner disciple of the Fire Cloud Sect. My name is Yan Gang. I don’t know if I’m lucky enough..."
Halfway through his words, Wu Qingcheng had disappeared into the distance without the slightest intention of attending to his questions.
The defeated Yan Gang stood awkwardly rooted to the spot.
When those around saw that, they couldn’t help but laugh out loud, while some even started to kick up a fuss.
"Humph! Stop pretending to be all high and mighty!"
The embarrassed Yan Gang was ridiculed by the crowd, and so wasn’t he allowed to fight in the arena. It was why he had no choice but to throw out a harsh sentence in a fit of anger, flick his sleeves, and turn back to his seat.
Wu Qingcheng had encountered many people like him, so she didn’t take him seriously at all.
After Captain One-eyed returned to his seat, he wanted to ask Ye Liuyun, "What’s your judgment? Will that little guy win?"
"It’s a random guess. Their strength is about the same. I just don’t like that big guy!" Ye Liuyun’s tone was casual.
"D*mn... I was almost tricked to death by you!" As soon as Captain One-eyed settled down, he immediately hopped up and ran back to the place where the bet was made. He added 20 upper grade cystral stones to the bet on the God of Strength’s victory.
The corners of Ye Liuyun’s mouth were slightly raised, but he was wildly cackling in his heart.
As a man who collected resources everywhere, how could he allow his money to go to waste?
If he wasn’t 100% sure, he wouldn’t let Wu Qingcheng take action.
Ye Liuyun’s Golden Phantom Eyes had seen through the two of them. The quality of the short man’s genuine energy was a level higher than that of the God of Strength.
In addition, he was about to break through to the next realm, which was higher than the Second Level Yin-yang Domain of the God of Strength.
The contest between martial art artists could not be determined by size, nor could it be compared with brute force.
With the small man’s reserved character, Ye Liuyun wouldn’t bet on the larger guy’s win.
When Captain One-eyed returned to his seat, the God of Strength had started his fight with the shorter man.
As soon as the commencement of the battle was launched, the God of Strength attacked with all its might and gained the upper hand.
The relieved Captain One-eyed spoke up, "Fortunately, I bet on God of Strength again. As such, I can still make a profit. Otherwise, I’ll be suffering a terrible loss for this round!"
Ye Liuyun said nothing, while Wu Qingcheng and the others all snickered with their mouths covered. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
They all believed in Ye Liuyun’s judgment and were waiting to witness the expression on Captain One-eyed’s face after being at a disadvantage.
In the distance, Yan Gang couldn’t help but feel a burst of malice in his heart seeing Wu Qingcheng covering her mouth as she giggled.
"Let me see if you’re still in the mood to laugh after you’ve suffered a loss! D*mn woman, you embarrassed me. You’d better pray that you will no longer offend me!"
His eyes were full of resentment with hatred swirling in his gaze locked on Wu Qingcheng.
In the fighting ring, the shorter man fought back with all his strength, but all the while, he had never taken the first move in launching an attack.
"Oh, it’s blocked again!"
Captain One-eyed stared nervously at the battle between the two of them. Every time the God of Strength’s attack was blocked, he would feel regretful.
He was beginning to worry. God of Strength clearly had an advantage, but he failed to win even after attacking for some time.
Out of nowhere, Ye Liuyun spoke up, "The result will be unveiled soon!"
After his words died away, the shorter man seemed to be under his control. He blocked the God of Strength’s attack with one palm before punching out to send the God of Strength flying.
The tough guy, God of Strength, crashed heavily onto the ground with a bang. He tried to stand up several times, but it was all in vain.
"Kill him, kill him!" The audience below the stage shouted.
To everyone’s amazement, the short man stopped and did not take the opportunity to give him another punch.
The audience erupted in an uproar, showing great dissatisfaction toward the short man’s mercy.
Those who bet on the God of Strength winning the duel even began to curse.
When the God of Strength stepped onto the stage, they cheered him on excitedly. In the blink of an eye, all kinds of vicious words were used right on the spot.
Ye Liuyun was deeply disappointed in the audience. Wu Qingcheng and the others, too, were full of disgust.
One with greater displeasure on his face was Captain One-eyed.
In normal times, he had always been a composed and steady person, but right then, he seemed to be unable to afford to lose. With a pat on his thigh, he regretted having placed his bet on the God of Strength.
"I’m such a b*tch! Why was I in such a hurry to shower him with money!"
He got up to his feet nonetheless and took part of his stake on the shorter man. It was all thanks to having placed his bet on the shorter man, else, he would suffer more losses.
Similarly, Wu Qingcheng retrieved the 400 spiritual stones she had won, which stirred the envy of those present.
As Yan Gang, he had the uglist expression on his face!
Initially, he had been looking forward to Wu Qingcheng’s defeat. Never would he have expected himself to make a wrong judgment!
"The God of Strength idiot, didn’t he take his meal in the morning!"
He blamed the reason behind his embarrassment on the God of Strength, so he could barely hold himself back from cursing in his heart. His hatred for Wu Qingcheng intensified as minutes passed.
In the following battles, although Captain One-eyed urged Ye Liuyun to predict every battle, he remained silent all the while, not saying another word.
He found that once Captain One-eyed grew addicted, he would lose his mind as if he had completely changed into another person.
Seeing that he did not speak, Captain One-eyed could guess what he was thinking.
"Hey, why are you so serious? It’s not easy for me to relax, but you won’t let me have a good time!"
It was only after hearing the words that Ye Liuyun eased up.
"It turns out that he’s deliberately indulging himself to relieve his tensed nerves."
Deep down, Ye Liuyun agreed that it was an idea not bad for relaxation.
What was more, Captain One-eyed would always place a bet of 10 or 20 upper-grade spiritual stones, never anything higher than that.
The blood of the Star Devouring Beast he sold had earned him more than 10,000 spiritual stones, so he wasn’t bothered by the large sum of money.
At the thought, Ye Liuyun let him be. There were a few times when he was particularly confident that he would be able to win.
