Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Baldy Qiang Goes All-In_1

"Actually, we’re mainly concerned about Ma Li’s safety, since we’re all classmates after all."

David and the other classmates explained somewhat awkwardly.

Ning Fan didn’t take them seriously. After greeting the security personnel at the door, he led everyone inside.

The building was a small gymnasium, remodeled into an arena modeled after ancient Roman coliseums.

There were stands all around, and the place that should have been a basketball court was now a spacious ring.

After Ning Fan led Ma Li and the others inside, they casually found a spot to sit in a corner of the stands.

By this time, the Coliseum was already filled with people from over a dozen underground forces. The leaders of these forces were sitting in the innermost circle, right around the ring.

Yao Xiangdong from the East Three Gates, Fan Pili from Thunder Hall, Zhang Dachui from the Hammer Society, Wild Wolf from the Wild Wolf Gang, Big Bear and Little Bear from the Black Bear Gang... all brought their own martial arts experts, each looking disdainfully at the others, eyes brimming with hostility.

Baldy Qiang was among them, of course.

Recently, Baldy Qiang had managed to overpower Big Bear and Little Bear and had snatched a lot of the Black Bear Gang’s territory, nearly monopolizing South City. This caused many other underground forces to regard Baldy Qiang with fear and enmity.

But despite these underground bosses being eager and ready for a fight, no one dared to make a move just yet.

Because the host of the Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting hadn’t arrived yet.

A few minutes later, as someone announced "Young Master Xu has arrived," everyone’s eyes turned toward the entrance.

Under everyone’s gaze, Xu Qingfeng arrived slowly with Old Qin.

According to the rules of the Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting, the wealthy families behind these underground forces were not allowed to attend, except for the Xu Family, serving as the host.

This was a special privilege for the Xu Family as the number one family in River City!

"Eh? Mr. Xu didn’t come this year? He just sent Young Master Xu to host the Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting?"

"With the Xu Family’s status, Mr. Xu doesn’t need to personally host anymore. It’s the same if Young Master Xu hosts it."

"Hehe, since Mr. Xu sent Young Master Xu instead of Miss Xu, doesn’t that imply..."

"Don’t overthink it. With matters of fighting and killing, Miss Xu is a woman after all, how could she handle it?"

The crowd was abuzz with conversation. Once Xu Qingfeng and Old Qin made their way to the central seat in the inner circle and settled down, they all said in unison, "Greetings, Young Master Xu!"

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xu Qingfeng showed no expression on his face, nodded faintly, and declared calmly, "I announce the start of the Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting!"

The Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting allowed the underground bosses of River City to settle grudges and reorganize territories through combat in the ring.

So, the specific rule was for each underground force to send one expert to represent them in the ring.

They could challenge the expert of another force, and they had to be ready to face challenges from others as well.

Before each fight, a bet had to be made, which could include money, territory, women, or a particular business project...

"Wild Dog, I want to fight you, with a bar street in the East City as the bet!"

"Zhang Dachui, you stole my woman last time. Let’s fight today and bet your canary that just got pampered last week, how about that?"

"Mr. Yao, I’ve been envious of your construction materials business for a long time. Let’s fight. Whoever wins takes the business!"

Suddenly, everyone started to fight, their various interests jockeying as stakes, and the structure of River City’s underground forces began to change drastically.

As the most outstanding underground boss recently, Baldy Qiang was naturally challenged by many.

But Liao Zhenting was no weakling; he blocked three or four challenges in a row. Not only did he not lose anything, but he also won several streets’ worth of territory.

"Baldy Qiang, the person you hired this time isn’t weak. Do you dare to take a big gamble with us?"

At this point, Big Bear and Little Bear stood up, looking at Baldy Qiang with a cold sneer.

"A big gamble? How big are we talking?" Baldy Qiang asked fearlessly.

Big Bear and Little Bear grinned viciously: "We bet all of the Black Bear Gang’s territory against all of your Bald Club’s territory!"

"What?"

Baldy Qiang’s pupils shrank instantly.

The other spectators also gasped in shock.

At the Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting, the major forces gambled on fights to vie for benefits and territory, but usually the stakes involved no more than a few streets of territory, a few business projects, or cash in the hundreds of millions...

But Big Bear and Little Bear had just proposed gambling all their territories against Baldy Qiang’s, which was going all-in!

Winning would mean swallowing the opponent’s entire territory, but losing would be total ruin!

In all the years of the Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting, no one had ever gambled this big!

"What’s the matter? Are you scared, Baldy Qiang?"

"That shiny dome of yours really does look like an egg! No, a coward’s egg!"

Big Bear and Little Bear mocked mercilessly.

Baldy Qiang’s face turned red as he looked toward Liao Zhenting.

Liao Zhenting gave Baldy Qiang a proud nod, signaling him to accept Big Bear and Little Bear’s challenge.

After all, he hadn’t been defeated once in his three or four fights in the ring today!

"Fine, Big Bear and Little Bear, this is your own death wish. I’ll take the bet!"

Baldy Qiang fell silent for a moment, then said between clenched teeth.

"Good!"

With a loud shout of agreement from Big Bear and Little Bear, they turned in unison towards the entrance and shouted together, "Please welcome Mr. Yan!"

The dozens of their followers also joined in the chanting, "Please welcome Mr. Yan!"

Boom!

Amidst the collective shouting, the doors burst open.

The imposing and fierce Yan Hu slowly walked in.

"Eh?"

The moment Yan Hu entered, Ning Fan let out a soft ’eh’ from a corner of the stands.
