Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Goo Yuexing, Dirty to the Point of Oozing Oil

Because there were a lot of people placing bets, and Lu Xiao wasn’t being secretive about it.

So, the news that he had placed a bet of five hundred million US dollars on Edson under the name of Chen Fei spread throughout the entire competition area in a very short time.

It wasn’t just the competition area; even people watching and betting remotely had already received the news.

Although the total amount of money bet could reach two hundred billion or even more.

But as of now, Lu Xiao’s five hundred million US dollar bet was indeed unique.

Moreover, Lu Xiao had only placed his bet on Edson and did not hedge his risks by betting on other competitors.

If he won, Edson’s odds were merely 1.2, merely netting him six hundred million US dollars.

But if he lost, that would be a whole five hundred million down the drain.

At Hua Country’s 17th Bureau, Goo Yuexing’s eyebrows were furrowed as he paced back and forth in his office.

In the end, he had placed his bet on Lu Xiao, totaling ten million.

Before placing the bet, he was full of confidence.

After all, Lu Xiao had entered the competition with Chen Fei, surely planning something big.

Moreover, Liuli Hong had told him that Lu Xiao’s goal in joining the Master Group was to win the championship.

Although Lu Xiao was just Third-tier, based on the kid’s past actions, he must have been more than fifty percent confident to go for it.

But now... things seemed to have gone awry.

Chen Fei had withdrawn, and Lu Xiao’s bet was on Edson.

Five hundred million US dollars, if he wasn’t sure Edson would win, would Lu Xiao crazily just give away so much money?

After pacing back and forth for half an hour, Goo Yuexing couldn’t resist and called Liuli Hong.

"Hello, what’s up?" Liuli Hong’s slightly impatient voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Liuli, did you know Lu Xiao placed five hundred million US dollars on Edson? What is Lu Xiao thinking? Does he think the championship is out of reach so he’s just trying to scrape some benefits off Edson?"

"What should we do? If we lose this money, what will we do?"

"I shouldn’t have bet at all. I shouldn’t have!"

Goo Yuexing ranted and raved for a while.

On the other end of the phone, Liuli Hong could hardly stand Goo Yuexing’s do-or-die screaming.

"It’s just ten million Hua Coins! Stop yelling, if we win it’s yours, if we lose it’s mine, okay! Hanging up!" After shouting, Liuli Hong directly hung up the phone.

Listening to the dial tone from the phone, Goo Yuexing’s lips gradually began to curl upwards.

This was perfect.

This was the highest realm of betting: no loss if losing, sky-high gains if winning.

"Crazy, all day long." After hanging up, Liuli Hong couldn’t help but mutter a few words about Goo Yuexing.

He was the Director of the Seventeenth Bureau after all; how many calls had he made, how much grumbling had he done for a ten-million bet.

However, the next second, Liuli Hong suddenly froze.

Yeah, Goo Yuexing was the Director of the Seventeenth Bureau, a cunning old fox.

Could such a person really lose his composure over a bet?

"Damn it!" A few seconds later, Liuli Hong suddenly cursed loudly.

All of this was Goo Yuexing’s trick!

All that worry, all that loss of composure, was all an act by this old thief.

That old fox was just gunning for his promise of ’you win it’s yours, you lose it’s mine’.

If he wasn’t mistaken, Goo Yuexing probably had already recorded their recent conversation, and if they lost, he would come demanding money with that recording.

"But speaking of which, who knows what Lu Xiao is really up to?" Liuli Hong took a sip of his tea, then closed his eyes to savour the flavour, the essence, and every change in taste within the tea.

Goo Yuexing was still too young, unlike me, I’m a hundred and fifty years old and have let go of everything.

So what if all his assets are on the line, isn’t it the same for everyone?

It’s no big deal, win and be happy, lose and so be it.

Even without money, I, a Fourth Rank big shot, still have people taking care of me, feeding me, holding me in high regard.

Look at Lu Xiao’s mansion, worth God knows how many billions, and now it’s the old man, I, who is living in it.

...

"Achoo!" In the guest room of the Meili Country competition area, Lu Xiao sneezed heavily.

"What’s wrong?" Chen Fei was a bit surprised. Lu Xiao was a Third Stage Heavenly Man after all, with a remarkably strong physique. Could he have caught a cold?

"Don’t know, I just feel like someone is scheming against me." Lu Xiao rubbed his nose.

"Let’s not worry about that now, Fei. You’ll have to work hard tonight," Lu Xiao turned to Chen Fei, taking a deep breath.

Tomorrow was the final, and he needed to absorb the two Mutated Crystals given by the Superpower Alliance tonight.

This way, he would stand a chance tomorrow.

But during the absorption process, he needed Chen Fei to block the leakage of superpowers.

If someone detected it, they would definitely come to investigate.

If his ability to absorb superpowers was exposed, then there really would be no more game to play.
