I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 710: Won the Bet

Chapter 710: Chapter 710: Won the Bet

When the butler brought over the money, Shen Dong was particularly proud and directly accepted it. It happened to be the exact amount Kang Yue had bet, which Shen Dong had now recouped. She pursed her lips and walked over to Shen Dong, extending her hand to take the money back. Shen Dong glanced at her and said with a smile,

"Didn’t you say you wouldn’t ask me for it later and that I shouldn’t ask you either? Why are you coming over to ask me for it now? It’s really funny. Will you listen to me next time or not? You’ll eventually learn your lesson if you keep this up. You can’t just win one round and then bet on another without observing each person’s physical condition.

That’s the key to winning, you know? Don’t be careless next time. Here, take it; stop looking at me with those eyes. It makes my heart waver. You know I can’t stand that look."

Shen Dong originally wanted to continue teasing this girl, but seeing her increasingly aggrieved expression, he felt that if he continued with the jokes, he wouldn’t be able to finish them before he’d be "killed" by her. So, he decided to just give up the jokes and give her the money. It was better to make her happy.

"Forget it, I was just joking with you. Here, it’s yours now. But tell me, after watching so much, have you found anyone you’re interested in? I think that kid from the first round wasn’t bad, quite agile, and he’s not exactly a dwarf either; he only seemed so next to that tall black guy. In terms of height, he’s actually pretty good. He’d make a great security guard if recruited.

You could consider elevating him to be the head of security, managing the others. I think that would be a good move. Having someone manage those people would ensure that they don’t slack off. Anyway, whatever you do, having a leader upfront is always best. What do you think?

Of course, this is for you to consider. I’m not saying it should be one way or another. This way, if something goes wrong later, I won’t be the one to blame."

He said with a laugh, unwilling to take the blame. Kang Yue simply offered a suggestion, but Shen Dong thought it was a feasible idea and immediately told the manager to bring the person up for a discussion, as they had watched several bouts by now; there were matches on this side, and on the other side as well.

They only bet on the ones they were watching. Shen Dong saw that this was a promising candidate, so he asked the manager to bring the person over. The manager was very pleased when he heard someone wanted Bai’s fighter to come up, as Bai’s fighter wasn’t initially favored here and had to fight several matches to win before people gradually started accepting him.

In this place, nobody wanted a thin person fighting against them; it felt disrespectful, and they were unwilling to bet on him. Overtime, the thin person was gradually ignored. Such a desperate venue was the only place where someone might bet on him, given the disparity in strength.

But that was life-threatening, and a small mishap could mean death. However, the young man was fearless, seemingly to earn a large sum of money, indifferent even if it cost him his life.

He only prayed he could make enough money to save someone. Though the manager felt pity, there was nothing he could do since he was just an employee with no control over many things. However, now that this influential figure was willing to see him, it was the best possible outcome. He set about making the arrangements immediately.

The young man arrived quite quickly, because he had just been boxing and naturally could not claim to be unmarked.

It’s inevitable to get injured a bit, and now his face bore some signs of injury. The young man looked up with a proud yet humble expression. Shen Dong opened the conversation, "I heard you were looking for me. May I know what for?"

After saying this, he waited on the side. He didn’t appear overly obsequious, perhaps the manager had mentioned something during the process. However, the other party didn’t fawn over Shen Dong because of his status; he just stood there calmly, asking why he had been called, without excessive expectations.

It felt like his good fortune depended on impressing his wealthy observer. He came to this place looking only to earn his keep and save someone, not to strike it rich. So, even now, with a patron seeking him out, he had no interest in pandering. He thought it was probably just someone wanting him to risk his life again, considering his life cheap. He couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, having already decided to ask the manager to decline.

But the manager kept insisting he come, portraying him as a benefactor who would guarantee a great future. Ultimately, he couldn’t refuse the manager,

so he had to come. The manager usually took good care of him, so he was willing to trust the manager. After bringing him over, the manager spoke to Shen Dong.

"Mr. Shen, this is a good kid. If you want him, you must cherish him properly. This isn’t someone you can use arbitrarily and then discard. I’ve seen his growth, and it’s heartbreaking. He’s one of the few decent people around here, so if you really want him, please cherish him properly," the manager repeated several times.

Touched by this, Bai felt an obligation to honor the manager’s kindness by staying to see what the patron would ask of him. Aside from illegal activities, he was willing to do anything for money.

"What’s your name?" Shen Dong asked first.

"I’m Chen Shili," the young man replied, clean-cut and more like a college student currently in school, except that his scars made him look rugged, a clear mismatch in his otherwise scholarly appearance.

His scars, however, suggested he wasn’t just any good student.

"Why did you choose to box here?" Shen Dong inquired further.

"Because I’m short on money. I need to take care of my family and support my sister’s education, but I don’t have enough money. My sister requires a lot, and my mother has fallen seriously ill.

If I don’t have enough money, I can’t support my family. I have to stick with this method for now. So, what do you plan to have me do?" Chen Shili replied with a smile, curious about what the other party would ask him to do.
