Chapter 653: Chapter 653: Going Wild with You!
King’s Boxing Ring is the largest underground fight arena in Las Vegas, located inside the King’s Grand Hotel, and capable of accommodating thousands of spectators at once.
Underground fighting has always been filled with violence and gore; almost every day, a boxer would meet their demise on the black boxing stage, afterwards being dragged away and disposed of.
Underground fighting has never been a legal enterprise, but David, the owner of King’s Boxing Ring, pays the local police a generous sum of money each year as a tribute, so the police turn a blind eye and allow its operation.
Those who come to watch the underground boxing matches are either materially wealthy but spiritually empty individuals looking for an alternative thrill, or gamblers hoping to strike it rich in the ring.
Over at the casino, because of the limits on betting amounts, the size of wins and losses isn’t too outrageous. But in the underground fight arena, these limits are far looser, with many wealthy individuals betting tens of millions of U.S. dollars, or even hundreds of millions, on boxers they favor.
Therefore, to make a fortune or suffer a huge loss is much easier here than in the regular casinos.
For the boxers who fight in the underground ring, there is a great allure - if they fight and win a single match, they can usually take home several hundred thousand, or even millions, of US dollars.
But the consequences of losing are tragic, either death or crippling injury, with no exceptions.
Thereby, the boxers who participate take great risks, and they have to sign a life-and-death contract before stepping onto the stage.
Despite the risks, under the drive of massive profits, there are still boxers from all over the world who volunteer to sign up.
Fang Bai and the others learned a lot about the underground fight arena on the way to the King’s Hotel, from what Yang Xudong shared with them.
Yang Xudong mentioned that in King’s Boxing Ring, there were quite a few martial artists from the Ancient Martial World of Huaxia participating, some of whom were descendants from Ancient Martial Sects or Prominent Clans, but Individual Cultivation Martial Artists were even more common.
Yang Xudong had fought in the arena before and was thus a regular, so under his guidance, Fang Bai and the others easily bought tickets and entered the boxing ring.
In the center of the boxing ring, a black boxer and a white boxer were engaged in a match.
For visual excitement, the boxers on stage usually didn’t wear any gloves, so the fight was quite bloody, with spectators getting even more frenzied.
"If you want to wager on a few matches, you can place your bets before each boxing match starts... We’re a bit late, so we can’t bet on this one; we’ll have to wait for the next," Yang Xudong whispered after they had settled into their seats in the spectator area.
Long Da, Long Er, and the others had won quite a bit of money previously at Caesar Casino and were eager to bet now that they heard it was possible here.
The skill level of the two boxers currently fighting on the stage only amounted to a mid Yellow Level for martial artists, which naturally didn’t attract much interest from Fang Bai and the others. However, the surrounding spectators were very passionate, occasionally letting out sighs of disappointment or shouts of excitement.
Soon, the black boxer was struck in the abdomen by the white boxer’s knee, bloodied from mouth and nose, collapsed on the floor, curling up like a shrimp, obviously in excruciating pain.
A referee stepped onto the stage and declared the winner and loser; the black boxer was carried off on a stretcher, while the white boxer circled the ring with his arms raised high, excitedly making cries like a hungry wolf.
Those who had bet on the white boxer erupted into hysterical cheers.
Those who had bet on the black boxer swore frustratedly, utterly disheartened.
A moment later, two new boxers climbed onto the stage, and after the host had introduced their identities and previous records, he began to encourage the audience to move towards the betting station to place their wagers.
Two boxers, both around the age of thirty-five, one is a short Japanese man in samurai attire, and the other is a white man wearing only red shorts.
The white man was at least a head taller than the Japanese man and his body was muscled, making him look very strong. A blood-colored wolf head was tattooed on his chest, which looked somewhat horrifying, and he exuded a fierce aura all over.
On the other hand, not only was the Japanese man short, but he also looked quite weak, as if he was malnourished. He stood there expressionlessly, his gaze cold, occasionally glancing at his opponent who was warming up with punches and kicks, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the white man’s height and imposing manner evidently gave him the advantage, and he seemed more likely to win.
However, to martial artists like Fang Bai, Long Da, and Long Er, the Japanese man seemed slightly superior, holding the winning ticket.
After Long Da, Long Er, and others asked Yang Xudong about the betting rules, they couldn’t hold back and got up one after another to go to the betting counter.
Here, the minimum betting standard is ten thousand US dollars, and the maximum is ten million US dollars. You can bet in multiples, but no more than ten times.
In addition, spectators can also bet against each other, and the amount of such bets is not limited. The casino will take a certain percentage of commission from the boxing match results.
For example, if Fang Bai and Dragon Maiden bet against each other, they each choose the boxer they think will win, and then bet one hundred million US dollars each. If Fang Bai wins, Dragon Maiden’s hundred million US dollars will belong to Fang Bai, and the casino will take a million US dollars as a commission from this hundred million.
Most of the people making bets on-site at the boxing match are billionaires, and the bets are often above tens of millions of US dollars.
Seeing Long Da and the others go to bet, Dragon Maiden also got interested and said to Fang Bai, "Lend me some money; I want to try my luck too."
"How much?"
Fang Bai asked with a smile.
Dragon Maiden said, "One million US dollars! I see Long Da and the others betting that much!"
Fang Bai replied, "If you’re going to gamble, go big! Ten million US dollars, tenfold bet!"
Dragon Maiden was startled and shook her head, "A tenfold bet? Then... if I lose, it’s a hundred million US dollars! Grandpa would kill me if he knew. No way, a small bet is a pleasure, a big bet is harmful. Just one million is good!"
Fang Bai insisted, "If you lose, it’s on me, if you win, we split it. How about that? I’m not scared, what are you afraid of? That’s not your style!"
Dragon Maiden gritted her teeth and said, "You said it! Fine, I’ll go crazy with you just this once!"
Fang Bai took out a bank card that could be used at all major banks worldwide and handed it to Dragon Maiden, then took Xiao Yu from her arms and asked, "Who do you plan to bet on to win?"
Dragon Maiden pointed towards the boxing ring and said, "I’ll follow Long Da and the others; I’m betting on the Japanese warrior to win!"
"Good! That’s what I was thinking too!"
Fang Bai nodded with a smile.
Both boxers on the ring were equivalent to the high rank of Yellow Level, and although Dragon Maiden’s cultivation level was not as high as Long Da and the others, being in the mid-rank of Profound Level, she could also see who was stronger and who weaker.
As for Fang Bai, his Divine Sense had infinite uses, even more impressive than that of Meta-Humans with the ability to see through things. The abilities of martial artists were laid bare under the sweep of his Divine Sense, so it was clear to him who would win and who would lose.
