Chapter 650
The ring player was a man of medium build and was well-proportioned but other than that, he looked pretty ordinary. Meanwhile, the challenger was a tall, muscular man and even after he entered the ring, the fight didn’t start immediately. Instead, the big screen above them displayed the challenger’s identity.
The content on the screen showed that the challenger was a retired mercenary who had performed many missions in war-torn areas and killed countless people. Furthermore, judging from his muscular figure, it was obvious he was not a man to mess with.
All of a sudden, Don murmured, “The bet has started. If the challenger wins, people that bet on him will have a return of 1.5 times; if the ring player wins, those that bet on him will have a return of 0.8. Morin, what do you think?”
Looking like a professional, Morin replied, “It seems that the dealer is quite confident in the ring player. However, I prefer the challenger. Look at his background; he’s a retired mercenary who has killed countless people. People like him who are used to dead bodies and blood everywhere are the most dangerous kind. The dealer doesn’t know about this and I can’t believe that he dares to look down on the challenger. He’ll definitely regret it later because the challenger will probably beat the ring player to death in one round!”
Hearing this, Don instantly got excited. “Should we place a bet?”
Herman chuckled and replied, “Sure. Let’s treat this round as a warm up and place a smaller bet—five hundred thousand.”
Herman had casually spent 500,000 and with a delighted smile, he looked at Crystal once again. Unfortunately, she didn’t even spare him a glance, which made him feel quite annoyed.
“Mr. Larson, since you’re here, why don’t you place a bet? Morin is a professional in this kind of thing and his guesses are never wrong. You should buy-in because you’ll definitely make a profit,” Herman
commented with a smile.
Matthew, however, shook his head. “I don’t like this kind of thing. Also, I advise you not to place such a big bet. The chances of the challenger winning are pretty low.”
When Morin heard this, his expression turned sullen and he asked in a solemn voice, “What are you saying? Are you saying that you think the ring player will win? Pampered people like you have only lived a luxurious life. You have no idea how dangerous the battlefield can be and will never know how terrifying a king of the battlefield is!”
Zanya sneered and chimed in, “Matthew, don’t act like an amateur in front of a professional. Morin is the taekwondo champion of Eastshire and one of the best fighters in the country, so his analysis can’t be wrong! Just admit it, do you dislike the game or have no money to place a bet? Oh right—I almost forgot that everything you have right now belongs to the Cunningham family so you yourself definitely don’t have much money!”
Upon hearing that, Matthew frowned slightly. Zanya’s words are really bitter and mean.
With a smile, Herman then said, “Hey, since we’re here to have fun, money is not important. Mr. Larson, if you don’t have money, I can lend you some. It’s a steady profit anyway!”
Matthew shook his head in response. He would not have bothered with these people if he wasn’t curious to come in to take a look. Seeing this, Herman ignored Matthew and turned to Crystal. “Miss Harrison, why don’t I place a 100,000 bet for you? If he wins, you’ll get the winnings but if he loses, I won’t ask you to return the money.”
If it was any other girl who heard this, she would definitely be shocked. However, Crystal was not an average girl. She glanced sideways at Herman and replied, “No thanks. The challenger looks silly. He’ll
definitely lose.”
Herman couldn’t help but feel furious and he glared at Matthew angrily, but there was nothing he could do. He could only secretly hope that the challenger would quickly defeat the ring player, which would be a slap in Matthew’s face. In less than ten minutes, the tournament began. At first, everyone thought that the challenger would easily defeat the ring player.
However, the situation in the ring went completely beyond their expectations. Although the ring player looked ordinary, his skills were absolutely terrifying. In less than three minutes, the challenger fell on the ground covered in blood, and the crowd couldn’t tell whether he was dead or alive.
