Chapter 316: Chapter 316: The Arena Bet

Chen Dashan, with a cold face, looked at the rapidly disappearing car in front of him and felt annoyed, "Smack!" He slapped the steering wheel.

This Black Wolf actually used this sort of tactic to disgust him, and Chen Dashan couldn’t swallow this anger.

In the car, the two women were still trembling with fear from the previous incident. Hearing no collision sounds, they slowly opened their eyes and looked around in panic.

Qi Shuzhu’s face was as white as a sheet.

Staring at Chen Dashan’s profile, she thought for a moment and said, "These people are all Black Wolf’s subordinates. I have seen the one who spit at us. He is a core member of the Black Wolf Gang. In Hengshui City, any wealthy family that needs dirty work done, as long as they pay, usually gives the job to him!"

"These people are all desperados. They would dare to cause trouble even in such a dangerous place as the highway. Chen Dashan, do we really need to go to the General Temple?"

"Yes, I think they’re not here to spar; they want your life!" Qi Junya also anxiously chimed in.

Chen Dashan squinted his eyes, looked at the now disappeared car, and said coldly, "They’ve invited me warmly. Even if it’s a dragon’s lair or a tiger’s den, I have to give it a try."

Seeing that persuasion was futile, Qi Shuzhu worriedly turned her head to look at the scenery receding outside the window.

Qi Junya looked helpless, turned on her phone to check the news, and the three had no mood to talk after the recent events.

More than half an hour later, the three arrived at a hotel near the General Temple in Hengshui City.

In the car.

Qi Shuzhu looked out the window and surveyed the Vienna Hotel, smiling, "The General Temple is considered a tourist attraction in Hengshui City. During New Year and other festivals, many people come here to travel. More importantly, this General Temple is a place for martial artists to exchange and spar. Look at this grand hotel; it’s more upscale than the best hotels in Furong County center."

Listening to Qi Shuzhu’s introduction, Chen Dashan looked up and examined the surroundings.

The sound of gurgling water could be heard at the hotel entrance. The circular fountain was both grand and beautiful, with lifelike statues made of white marble in the center, and the crystal-clear water in the pool bottom sparkled with crystals. The hotel’s exterior walls were magnificent, built in European style and looked very luxurious.

The entrance of the hotel was filled with luxury cars, and the guests coming in and out were all impeccably dressed.

"What happened here?"

"There must have been a car accident on the road?"

"The crash looks serious; hope no one got hurt."

"This car isn’t from Hengshui City..."

Chen Dashan’s arrival immediately drew a crowd, and everyone gathered around the severely damaged vehicle, whispering.

Chen Dashan ignored them and directly walked into the hotel.

The floors inside the hotel shone brightly, the lobby was spacious, and the lights were glaringly bright. The massive crystal chandelier on the ceiling highlighted the hotel’s wealth. Chen Dashan glanced around and walked directly to the front desk.

At this moment, the front desk was crowded with guests checking in.

Someone joked, "This time, I heard Black Wolf challenged an unknown rookie, can such a unevenly matched fight be interesting?"

Another person laughed, "That’s why Black Wolf set a bet; I heard he put ten million all on himself."

"Hahaha... This time, he can’t take our money. Only an idiot would bet on that, what’s his name again?"

"Chen Dashan!"

"Yes, exactly, Chen Dashan. Isn’t he clearly going to die?"

A few people discussed among themselves and immediately shouted to the attendant, "Place a 300,000 bet for me, on Black Wolf. It’s a sure win."

"Place 500,000 for me, even if the earnings are lower, it’s like picking up money for free!"

"Me too, I’ll put 500,000 on Black Wolf!"

The crowd at the front desk eagerly placed their bets.

Seeing this lively scene, Qi Shuzhu was furious, her brows furrowed, "This is too much, what do these people mean? The fight hasn’t even started yet."

"They’re looking down on us. How do they know we’ll definitely lose?"

Finishing her words, Qi Shuzhu took a step forward in her high heels, but Chen Dashan grabbed her hand and gently shook his head. Under the puzzled gaze of the two women, Chen Dashan took a step forward and shouted, "Place one million!"

A million?

The crowd turned back in shock to see a young man in his early twenties, dressed plainly and looking righteously at them.

Someone whispered, "He must know Black Wolf’s strength and is betting all his assets. Although the leverage for betting on Black Wolf is low, it’s quicker than making money in business. The fight is tomorrow, and there’s at least a 100,000 profit on a million bet."

The others nodded, regretting they didn’t have more cash on hand.

The attendant looked up, handed the card machine to Chen Dashan. Chen Dashan said, "I bet on Chen Dashan!"

What?

The crowd was stunned, looking as though the young man had taken leave of his senses.

"Sir, did I hear that right? You’re not a local of Hengshui City, are you?" The attendant kindly reminded him. Chen Dashan smiled, "That’s right, bet on Chen Dashan. Swipe the card!"

"Beep!" The sound of the card being swiped echoed.

Those standing beside him were stunned, staring at Chen Dashan in disbelief.

Suddenly, someone loudly exclaimed, "I remember now, he is Chen Dashan. He came in that crashed car. This must be Black Wolf’s revenge. This guy has guts, showing up like this!"

"Chen Dashan?"

This statement hit like a thunderbolt. Everyone, who had entered the hotel before and after Chen Dashan, turned their gaze towards him. The crashed car was nearly totaled; this was Black Wolf sending a warning to Chen Dashan.

Realizing this, the onlookers quickly stepped back, afraid of getting involved in trouble.

In an instant, the once noisy lobby fell into complete silence.

Chen Dashan didn’t care, completed his check-in procedure, and headed toward the room with two women to rest.

As soon as Chen Dashan left,

the lobby exploded with noise again, "That’s Chen Dashan. He’s just a reckless youth. How can he be a match for Black Wolf?"

"Yes, I heard that the Black Wolf even invited Lu Wenshan, the president of Hengshui City Martial Arts Association, to be the referee..."

"Would Chairman Lu come for such a mundane event?"

"Chairman Lu is a real expert. It’s said that he’s invited to national martial arts competitions..."

The crowd buzzed with chatter and quickly forgot about Chen Dashan.

Chen Dashan took Qi Shuzhu and the other woman back to the room to rest.

They came to Hengshui City a day earlier because of Qi Shuzhu. The Qi family had called, saying that Qi Shuzhu’s grandfather was critically ill and needed her to return home urgently. Since Chen Dashan had a fight scheduled for the next day, they decided to come to Hengshui City a day earlier.

This Black Wolf, attacking him on the road, knowing his whereabouts so well, and he had no clue.

Chen Dashan frowned slightly.

As he pondered, Qi Shuzhu had already packed up her things and reluctantly walked over to Chen Dashan, "I have to go back and check on him first. I’ll definitely be there to cheer for you in the arena tomorrow."

"Don’t worry, just take good care of your grandfather!"

Chen Dashan spoke, reached out, and patted Qi Shuzhu’s shoulder, continuing, "Do you need a ride?"

"Someone’s coming to pick me up. Just have a good rest."
