Chapter 329: Chapter 329: I Surrender

"Lu Xiao, your odds have dropped a lot," Chen Fei pointed at the TV screen and said from inside the shack.

The Superpower Alliance was quite considerate in that aspect: once the finals started, they displayed real-time odds right next to each contestant’s name.

Lu Xiao’s odds were now 102, a significant drop from 117.

"It seems that quite a few people have a good eye!" Lu Xiao nodded.

The odds dropping from 117 to 102 meant that the betting amount had to be at least a billion US dollars.

"The battle lineup is also out; your opponent is Joel Vince, oh, that guy’s brother," Chen Fei added.

That guy’s brother?

Oh, Sol Vince, that dirt thing.

You two brothers are really picking a fight with me.

"Are the Fourth-stage battles still up first?" Lu Xiao squinted and muttered.

"Right, there are only four people left in Fourth-stage now, and after they battle each other two by two, the winners will compete for the finals slot. Typically, the winner among the Fourth-stage is equivalent to the Master Group champion, after all, a Third-tier can hardly overturn a Fourth-tier. The Third-tier matches are more like the fruit after a meal, refreshing and relieving the greasy taste."

"That means our betting is quite advantageous." Lu Xiao’s lips curved slightly upward.

He had been thinking of waiting until before the finals to place his bets, but now there was no need.

Once the final battle of the Fourth-stage began, they could go ahead and place their bets.

This way, even if the Superpower Alliance wanted to set up an early Fourth-stage match for themselves, they would be too late.

"When the last Fourth-stage match starts, I’ll place the bet," Chen Fei said, also a bit excited.

"I’ll transfer another billion US dollars to you, then bet twenty billion on me," Lu Xiao said, raising an eyebrow.

It appeared that the stakes for this round were huge, and with Edson participating, a massive amount of money had been placed on him.

If I could beat Edson, then the Superpower Alliance could devour all the bets placed on him, and they might just grit their teeth and be able to afford a hundred billion.

But with two hundred billion, the Superpower Alliance would definitely flip the table and show their true colors.

It’s better when everyone turns against each other, easier to play dirty.

"Okay," Chen Fei nodded. She was also eager to see what the scene would be like when twenty billion US dollars were placed on Lu Xiao.

Probably, everyone’s minds would be blown.

"First match of the finals, Spear of Judgment Reno Mertens versus Bursting Light Farman, please come to the stage," the broadcast announced on time, its tone serious and earnest.

As soon as the broadcast ended, Farman burst onto the platform, his body surging with his Fire Element Superpower.

"Reno! Get up here!" Farman’s roar echoed throughout the entire arena.

Under the platform, many people were stunned; Farman and Reno had a personal grudge!

That meant the battle would definitely be spectacular.

"Fei, who do you think will win?" Lu Xiao was also looking forward to the match.

Farman was really geared up for revenge on behalf of his granddaughter, especially since Reno had publicly harassed Victoria at the Mertens family’s place, and if it wasn’t for Chen Fei, Reno would have attacked Victoria then.

Victoria was just a Second-Order Mutant; if Reno’s superpower had hit her, she would have been seriously injured or killed.

The attack of a Fourth-stage Mutant was incredibly terrifying, not to mention Reno was known for his destructive power as a Gold Element Mutant.

"Strength-wise, they’re actually quite similar; it’s hard to predict the outcome," Chen Fei shook her head.

She had watched the elimination rounds, and both Farman and Reno were evenly matched.

"Farman will win."

"Why?" Chen Fei was somewhat surprised, Lu Xiao didn’t even consider the possibility, he was so certain?

Farman indeed had a thicker accumulation of superpower than Reno, but Reno was stronger in combat, and the Gold Element also had some advantages against the Fire Element.

"Because of you," Lu Xiao grinned, "you are Victoria’s good friend, and now you are also the honorary president of the Civilization Book Club, and Reno isn’t stupid."

Chen Fei chuckled; that actually made sense.

Even if Reno defeated Farman, there was Edson standing in his way ahead; he shouldn’t even dream about being champion.

So, losing to Farman was the best choice.

"I concede!" Suddenly under the platform, Reno raised his hand and shouted.

The venue went completely silent in an instant, everyone looking at Reno in disbelief — concede?

"Damn!"

"What the hell, how can you just concede! I placed twenty million US dollars on you, and you’re pulling this?"

"Where are the organizers? Isn’t anyone going to do something? This is obviously a rigged match!"
