Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 332: The 2 Billion Super Bet

Chapter 332: Chapter 332: The 2 Billion Super Bet

As Lu Xiao had predicted, Edson launched an attack with full force as soon as the match began.

"Let’s go, let’s place our bets over there," Lu Xiao said, grabbing Chen Fei’s hand and pointing to a temporary betting station not far away.

Bets could be placed before the final began.

Of course, the odds were variable, and the closer it was to the final, the lower the odds might be.

Lu Xiao had just seen that his own odds had dropped again, and now they were only 101.

If they didn’t place their bets now, the odds were likely to fall below one hundred soon.

Chen Fei immediately nodded and followed Lu Xiao toward the betting station.

As for the fierce battle between Edson and Qiao Liefu on the stage, she lost interest after a glance.

After all, neither of them was a match for her.

So far, it seemed only Mr. Luli could pose a threat to her, the other Fourth-stage Mutants didn’t seem up for the challenge.

Chen Fei had been quite wary of Edson before since he had a big reputation.

Moreover, Edson was one of the world’s top three Mutants, universally recognized as the Defense King.

But having seen Edson fight Qiao Liefu, Chen Fei felt this so-called Defense King seemed just average.

The Earth Attribute barriers Edson erected looked solid and thick, but... they didn’t seem as formidable as she had imagined.

If she were in the ring, Edson probably wouldn’t last even a second move.

After all... the entire arena’s marble floor was underlaid with poured steel.

In an arena like this, Chen Fei felt she could take on three Liuli Hongs by herself.

"Where is that scoundrel Lu Xiao taking big boss Chen Fei?"

"Seems like they’re heading to the betting station."

"Betting again? I reckon he’s still betting on big boss Edson."

"Damn, I have to go bet another ten million US dollars too. If big boss Edson wins this match, the championship is as good as his."

Thus, a good number of people silently followed behind Lu Xiao and Chen Fei.

Soon, Lu Xiao reached the temporary betting window, and coincidentally, the staff member inside was the same one from yesterday.

"Ah, Mr. Lu Xiao, welcome back!" The staff member recognized Lu Xiao and even remembered his name.

After all, yesterday Lu Xiao had placed a five hundred million US dollar bet at her window.

She had made quite a tidy commission.

"Hello, hello, my girlfriend wants to place a bet," Lu Xiao said, pointing at Chen Fei.

"Understood, understood. How much does Mr. Lu Xiao’s girlfriend want to bet, and on whom? Still betting on Mr. Edson?" the staff member immediately asked.

The corners of Lu Xiao’s mouth lifted slightly, and then he shook his head.

"No, today my girlfriend wants to bet on me," he said.

The staff member was taken aback upon hearing Lu Xiao’s reply, but she quickly regained her composure and smiled.

Such a situation was, of course, allowed. It didn’t matter if a girlfriend was betting on her boyfriend or a wife on her husband, as long as it wasn’t someone betting on themselves, it was not prohibited.

"Alright, Mr. Lu Xiao, then how much does your girlfriend wish to bet on you?" the staff member continued to inquire.

Usually, these kinds of bets weren’t large; they were mostly considered luck bets, with amounts in the tens or hundreds of thousands.

"Twenty," Lu Xiao said, handing over his bank card.

"Okay, that’s twenty million US dollars, right?" said the staff member, preparing to write up the bet.

"Twenty billion, US dollars."

Silence fell over the place instantly.

The previously noisy crowd behind Lu Xiao went dead quiet.

The girl at the betting window also gaped, her mind struggling to process the information.

"Lu... Mr. Lu Xiao, are you sure it’s twenty billion US dollars? Not twenty million?"

"Yes, twenty billion, swipe the card," Lu Xiao said with an indifferent expression.

"Okay, okay, please wait a moment," she stammered.

After about two or three minutes, the girl at the window handed over a slip.

"Mr. Lu Xiao, your bet has been successfully placed, twenty billion US dollars, betting on yourself to win the Master Group championship. According to the current odds, it’s 101 times. Please... make sure you keep hold of your receipt."

"Okay, thank you," Lu Xiao said, passing the receipt to Chen Fei, who tucked it away.

"Thanks, darling. With you supporting me so much, I have to win a championship for you," he said, before wrapping his arm around Chen Fei and leaving the scene.

No sooner had Lu Xiao and Chen Fei left than the entire temporary betting station erupted.

"Is Lu Xiao out of his mind?"

"Did he just spend twenty billion on himself winning?"

"Twenty billion US dollars! I want to know, are all Heavenly Men this rich?"

"And isn’t Lu Xiao just throwing his money at the Superpower Alliance?"

"Does he actually think he can beat big boss Edson?"

"He’s gone mad!"

Due to the explosive nature of the news, it took less than two minutes for the story of Lu Xiao betting twenty billion US dollars on himself to spread throughout the entire competition area.

At that moment, the battle between Edson and Qiao Liefu had just ended.

There were no surprises, no underdog victories; Edson dominated and secured his victory over Qiao Liefu.

Before Edson could step off the stage, the personnel responsible for maintaining order informed him of the situation with Lu Xiao.

When Edson heard about Lu Xiao’s twenty billion dollar bet, his brow furrowed deeply.

His instincts told him there was definitely something fishy going on.

But he couldn’t figure out what; Lu Xiao was Third-tier, while he was Fourth Rank. No matter what, Lu Xiao shouldn’t be able to defeat him.
