Chapter 1406: Chapter 1378: Let’s Make a Bet, You Scumbag (Part 4) Chapter 1406: Chapter 1378: Let’s Make a Bet, You Scumbag (Part 4) Behind every ignorant child, there inevitably stands a supporting ignorant parent.

Although Edward Farmbright hadn’t yet grasped this truth, he meticulously remembered what his master had advised.

In public, he must protect Kiara’s interests; whatever she says represents Yuzo Joel.

When scholars asked Edward Farmbright to confirm the validity of Kiara’s statements, Eldest Brother bit back his fury and swallowed it.

“Do as she says.”

Kiara, seeing how Eldest Brother consistently played the role of green tea in public, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of guilt.

Was it really okay to treat Eldest Brother this way based on Dad’s advice? Unexpectedly, this guy, who usually bickered with her privately, still looked out for her interests in critical moments, which moved Mrs. Kiara slightly.

Fine then, she wouldn’t tease him anymore. She would stop sprinkling pepper powder into his spicy hot pot.

“How much… do you want to bet?” The scholar was also encountering this situation for the first time, a newcomer daring to challenge Akatenango, who was ahead in points.

Kiara thought for a moment. Dad said betting a few points would be okay, it wouldn’t cripple Eldest Brother. Edward Farmbright said points were calculated based on winning probability, his appearance fee was 1 million, so there should be at least 100 points, betting 5 points shouldn’t be a problem.

“Then let’s bet 5 points.”

After she finished speaking, the whole room fell silent.

Edward Farmbright turned to stone.

Only two people didn’t understand why everyone was reacting this way: one was Kiara, and the other was Mario Yuno, a spectator. So, Camden asked his father-in-law.

“Why are those people making faces like they ate excrement? Is 5 points a lot?”

“Not a lot at all, just 5 points,” Yuzo Joel laughed cryptically.

Kiara saw that no one was talking and wondered if she had bid too low, making them think she was cheap. Just as she was contemplating whether to discuss adding more points with Eldest Brother, she heard the scholar stammeringly ask.

“You… really want to bet 5 points at once?”

“Too little?”

“No, no, no, if you want to challenge Miss Akatenango, that amount of points is already the maximum. But I need to ask for permission to see if Miss Akatenango accepts your challenge.”

Whispers spread among the wealth conglomerates behind him, and seconds later, they erupted like a pot boiling over.

“Is this… Seven-Acre Farm completely breaking with JR?”

“Are they coming to take over?”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a big bet, this piques my interest…”

These words drifted into Mrs. Kiara’s ears, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition, sneakily nudging the still petrified Edward Farmbright.

“Senior Brother, what’s happening?”

“Senior Brother is being played to death by you… Do you even know how much one point is?”

“Ten thousand?”

“A hundred thousand.”

Kiara fell silent for a few seconds, her eyes shrinking to the size of beans.

In other words, she was betting everything against Akatenango in one go? If she lost, Eldest Brother’s appearance fee would be halved, and if she won, Akatenango would have to start from zero.

She had been duped by Dad.

This old man was a scammer!!!

Little did Kiara know, these points were extremely hard to obtain; one must complete ten flawless treatments in a row to accumulate a single point. Even for a master like Edward Farmbright, it was tough to maintain a ten-game winning streak. One issue could be facing a strong opponent, and another was that the outcome of these treatments depended not only on skill but also on luck. That’s why these people have been practicing since their apprenticeships, and it took Farmbright so long to earn ten points.

Of course, players of their calibre earned a substantial income from not only appearance fees but also commissions from each event. Edward Farmbright was a top-tier player, Akate was above average, and the level of players like Yuzo Joel basically didn’t play anymore; if he were to compete, it would be otherworldly.

Kiara had made quite a splash by challenging Akatenango as a rookie, even demanding to clear her opponent’s score in one fell swoop.

Once the news spread, it shook all the spectators; even Akatenango couldn’t believe her ears when she heard about the newcomer’s challenge.

“How much does she want to bet?”

“Five points, she borrowed five from Young Master Nong.”

“Has she gone mad… Everyone from Seven-Acre Farm is a madman, a madman!”

“Miss Akatenango, may I ask if you will accept the challenge?”

Akatenango fell silent. Rejecting this challenge would mean being scared of a newcomer’s dare, and she would lose prestige–but five points…

“What’s her background?”

“Junior Leader from Seven-Acre Farm, recommended by Young Master Nong. Currently, her appearance fee is $1,000.”

“…Madman!”

The mysterious man wearing the mask beside her simply flashed an understanding smile at the sour delight of being provocated by an entry-level price.

“Accept,” came the slightly grating voice through the voice changer.

“Have you gone mad too?” Akatenango glared at the Mysterious Man.

“If you don’t accept, you might as well leave JR,” replied the Mysterious Man emotionlessly.

Akatenango knew she couldn’t afford to offend the soul of JR and had to bite the bullet.

“Accept, I want to connect with her!” After all, it was just a newcomer; there was nothing to be scared of.

“Certainly, please hold on,” came the reply.

Soon, Kiara and Akatenango were video calling. This unusual showdown caught the attention of all the onlookers, feeding their schadenfreude perfectly.

“Who are you?”

“Junior Leader.”

“Where do you come from? Who is your master?”

“Nothing to disclose. What’s the matter, scared by a nameless rookie?”

“Ha ha, young lady, I just feel sorry for your Young Master Nong. The points he’s worked so hard to accumulate will now end up in my hands. Young Master Nong, how generous of you.”

“Our Farmstead’s Emily Martin just arrived from the Countryside, inexperienced in the City Market, just playing around,” Edward Farmbright said, showcasing his family’s acting talent.

Akatenango was fuming at that moment. Daring to bet it all against her without having seen the City Market? Just arrived from the “Countryside” and already so ostentatious; given time, she might even aim for the sky!

Yuzo Joel was conversing with Mario Yuno.

“Is that woman’s face about to crack under all that makeup?” taunted Camden, the vicious commenter. As an ardent husband devotee, he naturally took issue with anything that displeased his wife, including the lady on the screen who looked a bit like Aka but was clearly a vulgar tramp.

“Yes, I reckon she’s cursing inside already. Hahaha! We’ll have to add chicken legs for Yacob and Kiara when we get back,” Yuzo Joel added, clearly amused.

This father-in-law and son-in-law duo were surprisingly in agreement in this matter.

Mrs. Kiara didn’t disappoint them; no matter how her dad had tricked her into coming up here, now that she was in this place, she couldn’t lose face or value.

“So, you’re afraid to gamble with a newcomer who hasn’t seen the City Market, huh? If you’re afraid, then you’re this.”

Kiara extended her little finger, her Butterfly Mask adding to the full effect of her provocation.

“Nothing scares me, just don’t cry when you lose,” Akatenango found herself backed into a corner.

She intended to dominate from the start with a commanding presence and confidence. As for the competition itself, it was all up to luck now. Mrs. Kiara was thinking, if she really lost Eldest Brother’s points, she might have to work off the debt for years to come.
