Chapter 788: Scheming From All Sides (7)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Terrifying!
Qian Duo Duo swallowed and whispered, âDid Xu Chang Qing do that?!â âShh-!â The old woman quickly covered her mouth in fear, âMiss, itâs better to be cautious with your wordsâŠâ
Qian Duo Duo immediately understood that it was indeed Xu Chang Qing who had done it.
When Xu Chang Qing first arrived in Moon City, her mother had personally sought her out, warning her not to challenge Xu Chang Qing under any circumstances, and stating that in Moon City, almost no one could match Xu Chang Qingâs strength.
initially, she didnât take it seriously, but now, seeing Zhuge Yingâs guardian injured so easily, she felt a chill down her spine.
After all, Zhuge Yingâs status in the Zhuge family was not low, similar to her own status in the Qian family, and their accompanying guardians were equa y strong. YetâŠ
Unbelievable!
Qian Duo Duo immediately restrained herself, deciding to stay low-key and not attract Xu Chang Qingâs attention.
On the other side, Xu Chang Qing glanced at Zhao Yu with interest.
He had noticed Zhuge Yingâs abnormality but didnât know what Zhao Yu had done.
This intrigued Xu Chang Qing. In Qian State City, he had seen many top-tier experts, but none seemed like Zhao Yu, who had consumed multiple immortal herbs and possessed at least two abilities at the first tier.
This kid wasnât simple either!
He recalled warning Zhao Yu earlier about Huo Ying stealing the third-rank magical artifact, yet Zhao Yu still agreed to fight for Cai Xun.
Did he still have confidence in victory?!!
On the other side, Zhao Yu was also surprised that Xu Chang Qing had injured Zhuge Yingâs guardian with just a glance after he had shown a hint of killing intent.
This delighted him, realizing how strong his guardian was.
Zhao Yu seized the opportunity to transmit his voice to Zhuge Ying: âThat was just a warning. Iâve changed my mind. You used me to host the bet, and you didnât even bet on yourself. Three millionâŠâ
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Ying couldnât even care about the old manâs injury.
He immediately went to the betting table, lifting all the money tickets, showing that there were only two million and wondering how Zhao Yu expected three million.
Zhao Yu chuckled and transmitted his voice, âThen make it four million. Your choice. Disagree, and it will be five million!â
Zhuge Ying was dumbfounded.
He wanted to speak up but feared exposing Zhao Yuâs ability, causing him to deliberately lose the match and cost him millions.
Understanding Zhao Yuâs intention to extort money from him, he nodded reluctantly.
âFour million. Looks like I still underestimated you, kid. You have a lot of moneyâŠâ
Zhao Yu transmitted with a click of his tongue.
Zhuge Ying, terrified, kept bowing in submission.
The others, seeing this, didnât think much of it, assuming Zhuge Ying was apologizing to Xu Chang Qing for his guardianâs earlier provocation.
âLetâs make it four million. Iâm a man of principles!â Zhao Yu said, grinning
from ear to ear.
Four million meant that Zhuge Ying had to contribute two million alone, which was much better than losing eight million.
Of course, Zhao Yu could have demanded five million, but that would have completely offended Zhuge Ying.
Xu Chang Qing had advised him to avoid offending members of the five major families whenever possible. Offending someone of Zhuge Ying too severely would not be wise.
After all, he had no personal grudge against Zhuge Ying. He was just envious of him making money off him, especially since Zhuge Ying had previously prevented him from placing a bet.
On the other hand, when Zhuge Ying heard Zhao Yu only asking for four million, he let out a sigh of relief.
To be honest, under normal circumstances, it would have been reasonable for Zhao Yu to ask for six million. After all, if he lost, he would have to pay ten million. Deducting the two million he had already recovered, asking for six million would have balanced things out.
âWait, Iâm losing two million. Why do I feel relieved?!â
Zhuge Ying quickly realized that no matter what, he was still losing money. Moreover, he had already confirmed this loss even before the competition started.
This kind of loss was completely different from the previous ones he had pretended to make.
After all, he knew the inside story.
Before arriving at the scene, he had received a message from his brother Zhuge Dali, who had gathered intelligence.
Before Zhao Yu agreed to help Cai Xun in Huang Zhe fight, Xu Chang Qing had informed Zhao Yu about the Silent Array Flag, yet Zhao Yu still agreed to battle.
This indicated that Zhao Yu was confident he could win the match under the influence of the Silent Array Flag.
Although he didnât know how Zhao Yu planned to win, the Zhuge family had always trusted their judgment.
Therefore, Zhuge Ying came to act as the bookmaker, believing Zhao Yu had a sure chance of winning.
As it turned out, his judgment was correct, but he didnât make any money. Instead, he incurred a loss.
At this moment, he really wanted to shout out loud, telling everyone that Zhao Yu would win and that they shouldnât place any more bets.
But he feared Xu Chang Qing on the other side might give him a deadly look. After all, he didnât want to end up like his guardian, who might be killed by Xu Chang Qingâs glare.
Zhuge Ying sighed deeply and slumped into his chair, looking utterly despondent.
Unlike the facade he had put on for others before, this time his reaction was completely genuine.
He couldnât help but feel regret. If only his brother hadnât eavesdropped on Xu Chang Qing, if he hadnât known this insider information, he wouldnât have acted as the bookmaker, and he wouldnât be in this mess now.
âHurry up and start! Everyoneâs waiting to get their money!!â Qian Duo Duo urged as seeing that the fight hadnât started after such a long time.
Since the eldest daughter of the Qian family had spoken, the others naturally had no objections. The referee in the ring quickly stepped to the center and announced the start of the match..
