Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Willing to Accept the Loss after Betting

Betting three hundred to win three hundred thousand, betting five hundred to win five hundred thousand. Everyone was holding piles and piles of money, beaming with joy, and extremely excited.

This amount of money might not mean much to the children of the wealthy, but for them, it could change their entire family’s circumstances!

The one who had bet the most was the bespectacled boy, to whom Su Yang had given eight hundred thousand. Looking at such a large pile of money, the boy was still in a daze.

He had bet the eight hundred merely out of stubbornness, originally with the mentality that it would just be money down the drain.

But who could have thought that eight hundred would turn into eight hundred thousand?

Eight hundred thousand!

In the average neighborhood in Nanluo City, eight hundred thousand was enough to buy a house and have it well furnished.

The boy’s family was still renting a house, and it was precisely because of their poverty that his brother’s marriage prospects were so difficult.

They had met a few girls, all of whom had ultimately broken off the engagement because of his family’s situation.

Now, with this eight hundred thousand, buying a house and furnishing it would enable his family to completely escape poverty. His brother’s marriage would no longer be an issue!

All of it seemed like a dream; he could hardly believe it.

Just then, Su Yang spoke up again, "By the way, I remember there was another side bet, wasn’t there? Something about kneeling and bowing heads or such. Does everyone still remember?"

All eyes turned to Huang Fa, who was completely flabbergasted. He had just bet over three hundred thousand, and more than a hundred thousand of that was borrowed from Hidden Dragon Villa. His family was only modestly rich, and with such a hole to dig out of, how was he going to explain it when he got home!

Hearing Su Yang’s words, he suddenly remembered the bet and his complexion turned pale in an instant. Now he was set to lose money and face!

"Was it you who made the bet just now?" Su Yang looked at Huang Fa, smiling, "Alright, now the result is out, isn’t it time for you to pay up the bet?"

Huang Fa was dumbfounded and suddenly roared loudly, "I fuck your ancestors, I lost over three hundred thousand, and you fucking want me to kneel and kowtow, do you want to die? Give me back my money, or I’ll stab you to death!"

The bespectacled boy, somewhat frightened, spoke in a low voice, "Brother Yang, let it go, he’s lost so much money, just leave it!"

"How can this be let go?

Su Yang slowly shook his head, "He bet over three hundred thousand today. If Chen Bing hadn’t knelt and begged for mercy, I’d have to pay him over thirty million. Do you think if he had won, he would let go of the money? Also, if you win, you would forgive him, but if he won, would he forgive you?"

"As the saying goes, one should honor a bet. He made the bet of his own accord, and he proposed the side bet with you. Since that’s the case, he should follow through with everything."

As Su Yang spoke, he had already walked slowly towards Huang Fa, "I’ll ask you one more time, kneel or not?"

"I won’t kneel!" Huang Fa bellowed, "What, you’ve got the guts to kill me?!"

Su Yang placed a hand on Huang Fa’s shoulder and whispered, "It’s not up to you whether you kneel or not!"

With a light press, everyone heard a crack, as Huang Fa’s leg bone was broken by Su Yang’s press. Huang Fa screamed miserably and finally could not hold on; he collapsed to his knees on the ground.

Su Yang kept his hand on Huang Fa’s neck, making him kowtow three times toward the bespectacled boy before finally stopping.

"Alright, you’ve paid off your bet," Su Yang waved his hand, "Brother She, take him away. Remember to have his family come with the money for the ransom."

"Okay!" Brother She immediately ran over with a bunch of people and carried Huang Fa away.

Huang Fa, who was so defiant just moments ago, could now only whimper and cry out in pain. The surrounding crowd was stunned into silence, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, grateful they didn’t get involved in this underground betting.

Su Yang continued distributing the money. The least anyone from Destiny Martial Arts earned was hundreds of thousands, with the most earning close to a million. They were reaping immense rewards, and every one of them was over the moon. The money was enough to change their destinies.

Others watched with envy as the people from Destiny Martial Arts divided the earnings, leaving Su Yang with tens of millions remaining in front of him. The betting for this match had been enormous, and Su Yang had made a fortune.

"Brother She, help me take the money back," Su Yang called out, and Brother She immediately came over with his men to take care of it.

"Alright, no need to stand around stunned—be happy, and let’s continue," Su Yang said as he turned to Wang Hao, "Who’s next? Is anyone still betting?"

The crowd all turned their heads away. Damn it, being fooled once was enough; did they expect us to be fooled a second time?

Despite no one buying in, the competition had to go on.

With Su Yang’s help, Wang Hao breezed through his opponents and quickly entered the top eight.

Only then did Su Yang realize that Lin Kai, Chen Hu, and others were not among the quarterfinalists. They were likely arranged to fight in the underground matches later on.

Of course, this was even better. Su Yang was worried about encountering them.

According to Fang Ziyu’s analysis, the strength of Lin Kai, Chen Hu, and the like should have reached the Elementary Qi-refining Realm.

Su Yang might be able to use Devouring the Heavens to help Wang Hao cheat his way through, but Devouring the Heavens had its limits. People like Li Yanbing and Chen Bing were too weak; Su Yang easily devoured their strength. However, if it came to those who had reached the Qi Refining Realm, even if Su Yang could devour their strength, how many could he possibly handle?

Now that Wang Hao didn’t need to face them, the path became much easier. Among Wang Hao’s opponents, only one was in the Early-stage Qi Refinement, posing no real threat.

The first in the quarterfinals that Wang Hao faced was the current president of Tiger Prestige Martial Arts, but the match had no suspense.

This president had watched Wang Hao’s previous fights, especially the one against Chen Bing. He had bet heavily and lost everything. He wasn’t sure what was going on but had been fidgety ever since he heard about Chen Bing being unable to concede.

After getting knocked down by Wang Hao, he saw no hope in resisting and conceded defeat neatly, no longer willing to continue the fight.

The battle ended in less than half a minute from start to finish.

Even the referee wasn’t fully ready when the fight was already over.

The entire place was flabbergasted, with everyone staring open-mouthed. The current president of Tiger Prestige Martial Arts, a hot favorite for the championship, had lost just like that?

People were clueless about what had happened, assuming Wang Hao was just that skilled. Therefore, the way they looked at Wang Hao now was filled with admiration.

Lin Shuang sat dejectedly in the spectator stands. She was the most pained one there.

She had borrowed tens of thousands, hoping to make a big profit. Instead, she lost it all and was ruined.

And most crucially, the man on the stage receiving everyone’s admiration was the same man who once loved her dearly, yet she had cruelly pushed him away.

When she brushed off Wang Hao, she never imagined a day like this, nor did she think she would ever regret it.

But now, she regretted it so much she wanted to die!
