Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 384: Chapter 383: Still Want to Catch People Off Guard?

Hu Shao glanced at Su Yang and sneered inwardly.

In his view, Su Yang was just a fool blinded by greed. Seeing that Su Yang had a good understanding of the boxing match, he wanted to get some information from him to make money.

Before, Hu Shao certainly wouldn’t bother with someone like Su Yang. But now, he had his eyes on Ye Wantong beside Su Yang and would not miss the opportunity.

”Do these kinds of little matches even need watching?” Hu Shao arrogantly said, ”Look at the two guys up there, the tall one is bulky but not agile enough, so he’s been at a disadvantage, and many people think he’s going to lose. But the shorter one is clearly using up too much energy, and his speed is declining. Plus, he lacks the strength, and his punches don’t do enough damage to the tall one. On the other hand, if the tall one can seize the opportunity to strike, the short one will undoubtedly lose. So, this match is definitely going to the short one!”

”For real?” Su Yang’s eyes widened, ”Is it really the short one who wins? Then... then I’ll go bet on the short one to win!”

”Bet with confidence!” Hu Shao waved dismissively, ”I’ve never been wrong before, these little matches are a piece of cake to me!”

”That’s great!” Su Yang wore a face brimming with joy as if he was about to strike it rich, which made Hu Shao even more scornful. Taking the girl from this kind of guy would be a piece of cake.

Su Yang seemed oblivious, and when he approached the bet-placing area, he hesitated again, turning his head and saying, ”Hu Shao, is this... is this really reliable? I’m going to bet a lot this time!”

”How much are you betting?” Hu Shao said impatiently, ”What are you fussing about, how can you be out here playing like this?”

While talking, Hu Shao also sneaked a glance at Ye Wantong, only to find that she remained unreactive, which puzzled him even more. What was going on, wasn’t his performance attractive enough for her?

”I’m betting ten thousand!” Su Yang said loudly, instantly attracting the attention of many around him.

After a moment of silence, everyone burst out laughing, especially people like Hu Shao, who were almost doubled over with laughter.

”Ten thousand? Brother, are you kidding me!” Young Master Ding laughed heartily, ”You could spend tens of thousands with just a casual bet on the small matches outside. And you call ten thousand a big bet in a place like this today? Bro, have you never seen money before?”

Su Yang looked confused, ”Isn’t ten thousand a lot? Doesn’t the betting start at a thousand?”

”It starts at a thousand, but you can’t just come out and bet ten thousand!” Hu Shao approached, ”Here in this villa, even an egg costs a hundred, so you’re betting the equivalent of a hundred eggs?”

”Really?” Su Yang scratched his head and said softly, ”But that’s all I brought, can’t I bet it all at once?”

”You only brought this much money and you’re here to play?” Hu Shao glared, ”Are you planning on betting it all in one game and then scram?”

”Didn’t you say it was a sure win?” Su Yang questioned.

”Er...” Hu Shao curled his lip, ”Sure win is sure win, but you brought too little!”

”Hu Shao, it’s really a sure win?” Su Yang suddenly looked doubtful, ”Then why aren’t you placing a bet?”

”Such a small match has a limit of five hundred thousand, it’s not interesting at all!” Hu Shao shook his head outright.

”Isn’t five hundred thousand still money?” Su Yang looked askance at him, full of skepticism, ”You have a sure win but won’t bet, is it because you’re tricking me, or you have no money?”

”Fuck, what are you talking about!” Hu Shao suddenly flared up, ”Would I trick you? Would I not have money? Damn it, I’ll show you today!”

Hu Shao stormed over to the bet-placing area, and exclaimed loudly, ”Come on, put down five hundred thousand for me, on the tall one winning!”

With just one sentence, many people at the scene looked over with envy. After all, this was a preliminary match, and not a very professional one at that. The people playing here weren’t the type with lots of money. It was indeed rare to see someone like Hu Shao, who started with a bet of five hundred thousand!

Hu Shao was also looking quite pleased with himself. After placing his bet, he glanced provocatively at Su Yang, then turned to look at Ye Wantong.

However, to his disappointment, Ye Wantong still didn’t show any reaction, as if the fifty thousand Hu Shao had whipped out were a mere fifty bucks.

Su Yang, on the other hand, looked shocked. Before he could start, a bunch of people immediately ran over to bet on the tall guy winning.

It took a while for the area to clear up. When Su Yang went over to place his bet, the staff glanced at him and said with a smile, ”Buddy, betting ten thousand on the tall guy now gives you pretty low odds, are you sure you want to do that?”

”This...” Su Yang scratched his head and asked, ”What are the odds for the short guy?”

”Seventeen to one,” the staff member said with a sneer. ”What, trying to go for the long shot?”

”Let’s try it, might as well make a bundle if I’m lucky!” Su Yang said with a smile, ”Ten thousand on the short guy to win!”

People all around looked over again, sneers on their faces. The tall guy had already gained the upper hand, and the outcome of this battle was already very clear. Su Yang still betting on the short guy to win—was he courting death?

Hu Shao looked over with a cold, sidelong glance. After Su Yang had finished betting, he finally said coldly, ”What, you don’t trust me? I’ve bet on the tall guy to win, and you’re betting on the short guy? Do you think I’m setting you up, trying to cheat you out of your ten thousand?”

The crowd laughed uproariously. Young Master Ding shouted, ”We’ve bet millions here, using millions to cheat you out of your ten thousand, haha, sure is easy money!”

”You really think too much of yourself, being so cautious over a mere ten thousand. Why didn’t you just go and deposit it in a bank instead, collecting interest would be much safer!”

”Ah, you guys, don’t talk nonsense—ten thousand is all that guy has, of course he has to be careful.”

”Careful, my ass! If the short guy can win, I’ll eat this fighting ring!”

The crowd burst into laughter, looking at Su Yang with disdain. This time, not only were they going to make him lose his ten thousand, but they were also going to make him lose face here. That way, Hu Shao would have a chance to take care of the lady by his side!

Throughout, Su Yang’s face always wore a faint smile; he didn’t respond to anyone, just watched the ring with a light laugh.

When no one was paying attention, he had quietly channeled his energy, infusing strength into the short guy’s body. This was one of Su Yang’s secret techniques, capable of temporarily boosting the short guy’s strength.

The short guy had speed but lacked power, which was his greatest weakness. Now that Su Yang had enhanced his abilities, the outcome of the battle was predictable.

In less than two minutes, the tall guy was knocked down and couldn’t get back up.

Amidst everyone’s shock, the referee announced the short guy as the final victor, and the crowd was stunned.

”Yeah!” Su Yang cheered, laughing, ”Won, won, I won!”

The crowd looked at each other, utterly unprepared for this outcome. Hu Shao and the others had intended to mock Su Yang, but now they were the ones being mocked, and it felt awful.

”Damn it, this has got to be a fixed fight!” Young Master Ding suddenly jumped up, shouting loudly, ”We’ve placed so many bets, and they’re throwing the fight, it’s definitely fixed!”
