Free Web NovelChapter 260: Chapter 260: The Wild Bear’s Massive Bleeding
"Hey, what kind of host are you, why haven’t you reported the betting situation yet? I’ve bet ten million that Wang Hao can win. Are you trying to welch or what?"
"Right, I also bet ten million; does your boss not want to pay out? Does he no longer wish to hold boxing matches in the future?"
"Yeah, I’ve bet all my belongings on Wang Hao too. Pay up quickly!"
These boxing organisers had all stayed at the Peninsula International Hotel yesterday, and they had seen with their own eyes last night how Wang Hao crippled Hammer.
Therefore, they were very confident in Wang Hao and wanted to seize this opportunity to make a big score.
As soon as they heard Wang Hao’s name, they had promptly bet all their belongings on him.
Bear almost passed out with rage upon hearing this.
Thirty-five million, a two-to-one payoff—that was a total of seventy million.
Subtracting the twenty-five million bet on Shangguan Hu, there was still forty-five million left.
Bear had just lost forty-five million in an instant, which was a massive blow for him.
"Bear, you’re not thinking of welching, are you? Hurry up and pay out!"
The boxing organisers sprang to their feet, having bet big this time and standing to win a lot. Even with Bear’s extensive influence in Zao City, they were no longer willing to defer to him.
If Bear refused to pay up this time, they were ready to turn their backs on him.
"Hurry and pay! Pay up!"
Faced with the clamor of nearly the entire crowd of boxers and their bosses, Bear had no choice but to concede.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the rage inside him, he then turned to the host beside him and said,
"Go report the results now and then pay everyone their money. Do you want to make a bigger fool of me?"
Then he took out his anger with a kick to the host’s backside.
"Bear, what about the money you promised me?"
At this point, Billy wouldn’t stand for it. They had agreed that he would get half of the money, and now it was gone just like that.
"Would you stop making trouble for me, okay? Wait until the fight is done by the rules. Aside from your prize money, I’ll give you an additional twenty million, alright?"
Bear couldn’t afford to offend Billy now; he still needed him to make money in the upcoming matches, so he grudgingly agreed to give Billy an extra twenty million.
This was a huge loss for Bear—on top of the twenty million he had to give Billy after the match, Bear was now down by sixty-five million in total. How many more fights would it take to make that back?
"You have to kill Wang Hao in the end, and it has to be a slow torture!"
Bear was furious, staring at Wang Hao on stage and grinding his teeth.
"There’s no need for you to remind me; I came here to kill him this time!"
Billy’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
Shangguan Hu was so scared that he didn’t dare to enter the ring and directly admitted defeat, so the host didn’t need to announce the result. Wang Hao strode out of the cage, waving at the audience as he went.
Bear watched Wang Hao’s triumphant demeanor with bloodshot eyes.
It was bad enough that he was waving to the crowd, but he had to come back and stand beside Bear and Billy too—wasn’t that an obvious provocation?
The audience erupted into cheers, and Bear couldn’t do anything to Wang Hao; he had to force a smile instead.
"Wang Hao, don’t get too smug. There will be plenty of chances to take you down later!"
Bear could barely contain his anger, finding a trace of satisfaction in his words.
"Well, I’m looking forward to it. But before that, I had my third brother bet ten million on my victory. Bear, you might as well settle my payment first," Wang Hao said to Bear with a cold smirk.
"You!"
Bear’s face turned beet red with fury.
"You better not welch, Bear. There are so many witnesses here! If you want to keep making money, you’ve got to keep your cool."
After finishing his statement, Wang Hao waved to the audience again, instantly drawing cheers. Everyone’s attention was focused on this spectacle.
With so many eyes on him, Wild Bear could not only not lose his temper, but he also had to pretend to be happy and go along with it, which was truly suffocating.
Wild Bear had been forcing a smile until he could no longer bear it, and then he cast his gaze towards a person in the audience.
This person was sent by the Wu Family to supervise Wild Bear, and as he saw Wild Bear in such an embarrassing and sorry state, the man’s face grew increasingly uglier.
After giving Wild Bear a ferocious stare from the distance, he turned and walked away.
Wild Bear thought to himself in panic, what if he conveyed some bad news to the Wu Family, and they stopped supporting him? What should he do?
Wild Bear feared that his plans to take control of Chicheng County might not go so smoothly.
Wild Bear couldn’t help but glance at Wang Hao twice, thinking that he had already lost so much just now and now he might have lost the Wu Family’s support as well, all because of this jinx, Wang Hao.
Why not just be done with it and get rid of Wang Hao today?
"Billy, do you want to avenge your disciple?"
Wild Bear asked.
"I think about it all the time, I wish I could kill him immediately, right now!"
Billy’s face twisted ferociously, revealing a strong murderous intent.
"Good, I will give you that chance right away!"
After saying this, Wild Bear left the fighting arena.
Because Wild Bear had never lost money on bare-knuckle fighting before, he hadn’t expected to suddenly have to pay out so much, so he hadn’t prepared that much money. Thus, he went out to raise funds, which caused the competition to be interrupted.
However, in Zao City, Wild Bear was quite famous, and he quickly raised all the funds needed, distributing the money to everyone immediately.
"This is the difference between us and Wild Bear!"
Seeing Wild Bear’s men carrying tens of millions in cash in just a short while, Sun Lao San frowned and sighed.
Although the Sun brothers were currently managing all the industries in Chicheng County, the thought of having to come up with tens of millions in cash in such a short time was still somewhat challenging.
But Wild Bear could do it, and this is where they differed greatly in terms of their economic power.
Looking at the Sun brothers’ subordinates, they had a total of just a few hundred men, while Wild Bear had over a thousand underlings throughout Zao City.
If they were to really fight, in terms of both financial and manpower resources, the Sun brothers would stand no chance against Wild Bear, so they could not confront Wild Bear head-on; they had to outsmart him.
"After coming out, I was still thinking about swiftly completing the revenge I hadn’t achieved five years ago, but now it seems..."
Sun Lao San suddenly recalled his grand aspirations from five years ago, but when he looked at the current reality of the gap, he felt somewhat deflated.
After all, the difference between him and Wild Bear was starkly apparent.
Just five years ago, the strength of the Sun brothers was more than enough to protect Chicheng County compared to Wild Bear.
But in recent years, Wild Bear’s influence had gradually expanded, and he had already taken over the entire Zao City. Now, to fight Wild Bear to the finish, they truly felt somewhat powerless.
"Third brother, fortune favors the bold. How do you know it won’t work if you don’t try?"
Wang Hao patted Sun Lao San’s shoulder, comforting him.
"While that’s easy to say, it’s just that..."
Sun Lao San began to speak but then trailed off, shaking his head resignedly and smiling bitterly.
"Alright, I believe that you can definitely fulfill your grand ambitions. With me here, you can rest easy!"
Wang Hao said with a firm look in his eyes.
Sun Lao San was momentarily stunned by Wang Hao’s words, feeling grateful and curious about Wang Hao’s confidence in everything he did.
But then he thought, as a man with aspirations of greatness, if even the basic self-confidence was lacking, how could one ever succeed?
"Alright then, let’s achieve our grand ambitions together, you and I!"
Inspired, Sun Lao San’s eyes hardened with resolve.
After speaking, the two of them also approached Wild Bear to collect their money. Since Sun Lao San had also bet ten million, he could collect double the payoff; it was like free money, not to be missed. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Just then, Billy suddenly slipped back into the cage...
