Jiang Xiaobai, following AnRan, was momentarily stunned but quickly remembered that he had asked AnRan to place a bet for him earlier.
He couldn’t help but chuckle.
“For someone as unknown as me to challenge a sect’s saint, the odds must be high, right?” Jiang Xiaobai said.
AnRan, walking ahead, seemed a bit excited, “Not high, just one to five.”
“Damn, only one to five? They think so little of me?” “Well, the odds for others are one thousand to one…
“That’s better, balances things out a bit.”
But as Jiang Xiaobai was speaking, he felt something was off about AnRan; his eyes were filled with excitement.
He had seen that look a few times; it was the same one AnRan had when watching him barbeque meat.
He couldn’t help but wonder, how much had the kid bet to get so excited?
“How much did you bet?”
At his words, AnRan paused, awkwardly smiling and turning his head, “Heh heh, boss, I promise, don’t hit me when I tell you.”
“You didn’t bet it all on one person, did you? That won’t do. One billion, one to five odds, five billion top-grade spiritual stones, they can’t afford to pay that!”
Jiang Xiaobai was immediately anxious: “Hurry up and take me there. We have to get back as much as we can. Damn, I’m going to lose big!”
But when Jiang Xiaobai tried to pull AnRan along, he found that AnRan had not moved from his spot.
“What’s wrong?”
“Boss, um… it’s actually not one billion.”
Jiang Xiaobai let out a sigh of relief: “I was just about to say, you’re smarter than that, even though sometimes you’re too…”
“I bet ten billion top-grade spiritual stones.”
“Huh… What?”
“Ten billion!”
Jiang Xiaobai croaked, clutching AnRan and staring wide-eyed at him.
Even so, he felt as if his heart had stopped in that moment.
Ten billion!
“Tell me, who can afford to pay off such a sum!” Jiang Xiaobai, frustrated, grasped his hair. He had never anticipated AnRan, the little fatty, to be so wasteful.
AnRan earnestly began to explain to Jiang Xiaobai.
Firstly, the ten billion capital came from previous winnings at several casinos, and also included some of his own money.
Moreover, their bet had been backed by the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, with supporting documents to prove it.
“Boss, look, I even had them change the certificate. Now, this money is given to us by the Thousand Yuan Dynasty.” AnRan excitedly handed the certificate to Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai glanced at it and slightly narrowed his eyes.
“That may be true, but have you considered if the Thousand Yuan Dynasty simply decides to default on their loan, what will you do?!”
“Your family’s power isn’t enough, even if your father is strong, would he dare to challenge the Thousand Yuan Dynasty?”
“Ah… uh…”
Only then did AnRan think of this.
“Your calculations are good. If the Thousand Yuan Dynasty defaults, you could get your family involved, and, with the help of other sect forces, perhaps force a compromise. However, they will certainly not yield easily.”
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, sighing: “Your thinking is not incorrect, but you underestimated one thing.”
“In this world, the strong rule.”
“Big fish eat little fish. Anyone stronger than you can do whatever they want with you, you can’t do anything about it. That’s reality.”
“Fatty, you didn’t consider enough.”
These words made AnRan’s face bitter. He lowered his head, his hands sullenly behind his back, giving off a pitiful vibe.
“Boss, I’m sorry, I…”
“All right, don’t apologize. This bet had to be made. Rejecting money is stupid, and more so when it’s the Thousand Yuan Dynasty’s.”
Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand: “Hurry up and find that guy; even if it’s impossible, we have to get back that ten billion principal.”
“Right, that’s it!” AnRan quickly nodded his head, then hurried off with Jiang Xiaobai towards the casino.
Unfortunately, they were too late.
Wang Laowu, hearing that Lin Yucheng had announced Jiang Xiaobai’s victory, immediately ran. He didn’t care about anything else and escaped straight out of the arena.
AnRan was fuming. He had anticipated that the bastard would run, but he didn’t expect him to be so decisive!
“Damn it, where the hell is Wang Laowu!”
Back at the casino, AnRan grabbed someone by the collar and angrily demanded.
After following Jiang Xiaobai, AnRan had always been wearing a disguise, which allowed him to act quite assertively and unafraid now.
Seeing AnRan, the man he grabbed began to panic.
He knew about the ten billion bet.
“I, uh, I don’t know.”
“Bullshit, you don’t know. You’re one of Wang Laowu’s crew, how can you not know?” Jiang Xiaobai snorted and delivered a slap to the man’s face.
The man, being a mere waste of gold Danding stage, couldn’t block it. He nearly died from the slap.
Immediately seeing stars, he was completely disoriented.
“Tell me or don’t tell me, don’t blame me if I kill you now!” AnRan roared, his eyes bloodshot.
The kid is extremely attached to money. A sum of ten billion had been taken away; how could he not be raging?
At this point, he didn’t care about the rules of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty and wished he could kill the man in front of him.
“I genuinely do not know, big brother, please spare me, I know nothing!” The man cried out, begging for mercy.
“You don’t know?” Jiang Xiaobai coldly snorted, delivering another slap: “Then you must at least know where that dog Wang Laowu usually goes, right? Where does he live? Where are his wife and children?”
Jiang Xiaobai was starting to lose it at this point.
Ran off with his ten billion, how could he not be furious?
“I-I-I… I only know that Wang Laowu goes to the City Lord Mansion every night!” The man was panicked. He’d realized just how shameless Jiang Xiaobai truly was.
At this point, AnRan returned to his senses: “Exactly, boss, Wang Laowu works for the lord of Qiankun City. He might run, but the city lord’s mansion can’t!”
“Good, then let’s go find him!”
Jiang Xiaobai snorted, tossed the man back to the ground, and walked out with
AnRan.
Just then, Jian San and Elder Hu Changleng appeared in front of them.
“Young Master Hong, what are you in such a hurry for? What do you need to do at the City Lord Mansion?” Jian San asked with a smile.
Although Jiang Xiaobai defeated their Sword Sea Sect’s saint today, his demonstrated strength, talent and daring had impressed them.
Now, they were already thinking about establishing a good relationship with him.
“Do you need my help, brother? Even though this is Thousand Yuan Dynasty’s territory, our Sword Sea Sect’s reputation still has some weight.” Jian San chuckled.
Jiang Xiaobai, holding back his anger, saluted Jian San.
“Thank you for your kindness, Elder Jian, but this is a minor issue. I can handle it.”
“Don’t worry, it’s just a small matter..”
