Mountain village beauty: Brother, don't stop!

Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Scared into Surrendering

"Bets are in, bets are in! Next up in the ring are the runner-up of the upper realm boxing competition, Shangguan Hu, and the farmer, Wang Hao!"

To liven up the atmosphere, the betting area specifically added the descriptor ’farmer’ for Wang Hao. It seemed that this was also Wild Bear’s arrangement, aimed at humiliating Wang Hao.

"Wang Hao? A farmer? What does that mean?"

"That guy really looks like a farmer; could he actually be one? Can a farmer even come here to box? Wouldn’t it be laughable to even say it out loud?"

"Anyone who bets on this guy must be a fool!"

"There are no restrictions on moves this round. I’m definitely betting on Shangguan Hu to win. As much as there is, I’ll bet it all!"

The crowd around the betting on the fight boiled with excitement upon seeing Wang Hao, convinced that he had no chance of winning, so they all placed their bets on Shangguan Hu.

At the same time, they were already looking forward to a sure win.

"Alright, betting is over! This..."

When the host took the stage and saw the results of the betting in the pool, his face underwent a myriad of changes, and he shook his head at Wild Bear.

Wild Bear frowned at this. What did the head shaking mean?

But since the crowd around the betting had just said they all bet on Shangguan Hu to win, he didn’t take the matter to heart.

"Alright, the match is about to officially begin. Please welcome the boxer, Shangguan Hu, to the stage!"

Seeing that Shangguan Hu had yet to enter the ring, the host urged again.

"Shangguan Hu, where’s Shangguan Hu?"

The host called out loudly a couple more times.

Still, there was no response from below.

What’s going on? Everyone felt bewildered, and all eyes swiftly turned to search the boxer resting area.

If Shangguan Hu really hadn’t shown up, it would mean he had forfeited, which is to say, he had lost.

The people who had bet on the fight had all placed their money on Shangguan Hu. If he didn’t show up, then the money they wagered would all go down the drain.

"Where is he, he’s there, hiding around the corner!"

Suddenly someone pointed at the corner.

Following their outcry, everyone’s gaze shifted there, and true enough, Shangguan Hu was indeed cowering in a corner, trembling.

"Why is he hiding? Why won’t he enter the ring to fight?"

The surrounding crowd was extremely shocked, looking at Shangguan Hu with puzzled faces.

"I... I don’t want to fight this monster. He will definitely kill me. I forfeit, or I surrender! I don’t want to die!"

Realizing he had been spotted, Shangguan Hu walked out tremblingly, pointing at Wang Hao in the cage and shouting in terror.

He had witnessed the scene at Peninsula International Hotel the day before, and now the sight of Wang Hao made him quiver. How could he dare to enter the ring and face Wang Hao?

The entire audience was astounded at Shangguan Hu’s words.

Everyone looked at Shangguan Hu with disbelief because he was the runner-up of the upper realm boxing competition, stronger than Wu Dong.

Wu Dong had been killed by Billy with a single move, and while everyone was shocked, they found Billy’s strength unfathomable.

However, killing the runner-up with a single punch was nothing compared to this. Just by standing in the ring, Wang Hao had frightened the upper realm’s runner-up so much that he outright surrendered.

The extent of this farmer, Wang Hao’s strength, was beyond everyone’s imagination.

Although Billy was very strong, Wu Dong had at least dared to fight, and both sides had made moves.

But now seeing Shangguan Hu hiding upon seeing Wang Hao, it was clear Wang Hao was a master too.

The upcoming fight between Wang Hao and Billy would definitely be worth looking forward to!

"This... this is impossible!"

Billy had thought that his own stunning move had already amazed the crowd and was an unbeatable act, but he never expected that Wang Hao hadn’t even made a move yet had already scared his opponent into submission.

Compared to this, his punch seemed insignificant, and Billy’s face changed in an instant.

All the limelight was now stolen by Wang Hao.

"Hmph!"

Billy stood up angrily and let out a cold snort, kicking the chair beneath him to smithereens.

At this moment, the expression on Wild Bear’s face also fluctuated between green and white. Originally, he had arranged for Wang Hao to face Iron Hammer.

But now that Iron Hammer was unable to enter the ring, he had to make a last-minute change to the matchup, thinking that at least Shangguan Hu, the runner-up from the last boxing championship, could hold his ground for a few rounds, which would also enhance the impact of Billy’s punch.

But now things had taken a turn for the worse, as Shangguan Hu seemed to be too scared to step onto the stage, allowing Wang Hao to take all the glory. So much for raising Billy’s profile! freewebnovёl.ƈom

Wild Bear glared fiercely at Shangguan Hu, wishing he could get on the stage and deal with him right then and there, but since Shangguan Hu wasn’t his man, there wasn’t much he could do about him for the time being.

"Oh, I remember now, he’s the same Wang Hao who just yesterday at the Peninsula International Hotel, with his bare hands, shattered the steel plate on Iron Hammer’s arm!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted out loud.

"What? Shattering a steel plate with bare hands? Are you sure this is not a movie scene?"

"For real? Does this kind of thing actually exist in real life?"

"Oh my God, is this even possible for a human to do?"

Noises of surprise came from the audience below the stage. Evidently, Wang Hao had become the center of attention, with some people even taking out their phones to capture this legendary figure to share with friends and family.

At this point, Billy was so angry that his face was nearly green, and he shot Wild Bear a fierce glare.

"Calm down, Billy. It’s true that this bout has boosted his fame, but most people bet on Shangguan Hu to win, and we’ve made a good sum off that, at least twenty million. How about I give you half of that this time?"

"Later on, I’ll arrange for you to face Wang Hao. Then you can settle all the scores, old and new. You can deal with him however you want. Isn’t that satisfying enough?"

Wild Bear hurriedly consoled Billy.

"Big brother, we didn’t make any money on this fight!"

At that moment, the host approached Wild Bear with a cautious tone.

"What? Impossible! So many people bet on Shangguan Hu to win. Now that he’s conceded, how could we possibly not make money?"

Wild Bear looked at the host with a confused face.

"It’s... it’s because someone bet a lot of money on Wang Hao to win!"

The corner of the host’s mouth twitched as he replied in a low voice.

"What? Someone bet on Wang Hao to win? And they bet a lot? Why didn’t you tell me earlier so we could cancel the match?"

Wild Bear immediately stood up in anger.

"I gave you hints, but you didn’t respond to me. I had no choice but to continue the match. I thought you had arranged for someone to do this on purpose!"

The host said with an aggrieved look.

"Exactly how did they bet this time?"

Wild Bear became anxious.

"Bets on Shangguan Hu totaled twenty-five million..."

"Well, that’s not bad. We shouldn’t lose too much then!"

Upon hearing that twenty-five million was bet on Shangguan Hu, Wild Bear breathed a sigh of relief, and his anxious heart settled down.

"But... there was a total of thirty-five million bet on Wang Hao!"

The host’s following words immediately doused Wild Bear with a bucket of cold water.

"What did you say?!"

Wild Bear almost jumped up, grabbing the host by the collar and shouting furiously.

"Who the hell placed that bet, and how could they bet so much?"

At that moment, a few boxers’ bosses approached the host...
