Chapter 1584: A Stone Dropped Into the Well

ome things before, everyone was still a little surprised when Dao Nv said it herself.The most shocked was Su Ruyue, who asked in surprise, "You are Zheng Huafie, the renowned figure in China's financi...Ho Dongping wore a sneer of disdain on his face: “I truly don't know if this person has a brain or not. Does he really think his strength can surpass Hong Sihai”

Or is it that he has so much money he can't spend it all, and wants to give some away"

In his view, Ye Bufan had no chance of winning this duel. He was destined for a dead end, and setting such odds at this point was essentially the same as giving away money.

Ho Jian laughed and said, "Grandpa, since this guy is such a sucker, let's spend more of his money."

Ho Dongping glanced at him: "What do you want to do"

Since he opened the bet, we naturally have to put something on it, or else it would be disrespectful to him.

"After Huo Jian finished speaking, he directly took out a bank card from his pocket and threw it to the butler, "Now place my bet, there's 10 billion yuan inside, all on Yunxia Mountain winning."

As the saying goes, "the poor have literature and the rich have martial arts." Huo Dongping was originally the suzerain of the Aoki Sword Sect. He was wealthy, and as the deputy palace master of Tiangong, he also received a considerable salary. Over the years, he had mostly saved up some family fortune.

Even so, 100 billion is all they have.

Seeing that Sunzi had bet all his money on Yunxiashan, Huo Dongping just smiled and didn't mean to stop him at all.

Now, in the eyes of both the grandfather and grandson, Ye Bufan is clearly an enemy. It's only natural to try and gain some benefits from the enemy.

"Master Si, this isn't appropriate, is it"

In his eyes, Ye Bufan had no chance of winning this duel. Betting on Yunxia Mountain at this time was tantamount to digging one's own grave.

Ho Jian frowned: "What's inappropriate about that Since he opened the betting, can't people place bets"

"This..."

Sithu Changkong was speechless for a moment, he really didn't know how to refute. This game was set up by Ye Bufan himself, it wasn't anyone else's fault.

He looked at Huo Dongping, originally hoping the old man could persuade him, but before he could speak, the other's expression turned grim.

"Master Situ Changkong, your authority stretches too far! Is it within the purview of your Xuanyuan Pavilion who my grandson bets on"

"Alas!"

In the end, Situ Changkong could only let out a long sigh and then remain silent.

Ho Jian ignored him and simply asked the butler for the betting address, placing his bets himself. He quickly wagered all 10 billion on Yunxia Mountain.

Seeing the successful betting notification, he arrogantly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Ye Bufan"

"By this time tomorrow, you'll see what it means to be completely broke."

Si Tu Changkong and the other person left the door. He took out his phone and dialed Ye Bufan's number again, wanting to persuade him to stop the gambling game as soon as possible, but the other end of the line was busy.

I called Situ Dianmo's phone again, but it still went straight to voicemail.

Si Tu Changkong's face was full of anxiety: "This child, how come his phone is still turned off"

In contrast, Andouquan seemed much more composed: "Old friend, you don't have to worry so much."

Think about it, if Xiao Fan really lost the duel, money and possessions are nothing but fleeting things. What use would they be to him anyway

If Xiao Fan wins, then this bet will naturally be won. That's a great thing, you don't need to worry anymore."

"Master Situ Changkong thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, so he finally sighed and said: 'Let him go!'"

The banquet hall of the February Group's Beijing branch was abuzz with activity.

In the center seat sat an elderly man with white beard and hair. Though he was quite old, his expression radiated authority. This was Hong Sihai, the Great Elder of Yunxia Mountain.

Beside him sat several elderly men, who were the four elders of Yunxia Mountain.

This time, Hong Sihai personally led the team to the Imperial Capital, accompanied by the four elders of their sect. This almost encompasses half the strength of Yunxia Mountain, showing the importance they placed on this trip.

Beside their seats, accompanying the head of February Group Park Jae-sang, was Lee Hae-jung on the other side.

Both of them knew what Yunxia Mountain meant to them now. It could be said that if Yunxia Mountain won, the February Group would prosper; if Yunxia Mountain ultimately lost, they would be finished.

They wore ingratiating smiles and hovered around cautiously.

After three rounds of wine and five courses, Park Jae-sang said excitedly: "The news that the Great Elder challenged Ye Bufan has spread throughout the imperial capital. No one in high society doesn't know about it."

I wonder what that boy is doing now. Probably hiding in a corner, trembling with fear

Before, Guan Ping, who sent the previous letter, said: "Our Yunxia Mountain and the Great Elder's majesty are not something an ordinary person can withstand. I guess that kid must be terrified right now, and he might even come to apologize in a while."

Hong Sihai shook his head, saying with a haughty expression: "It's useless. Offending Yunxia Mountain will only lead to death in the end, there is no other choice."

Even if he came crawling and begging, it would be useless. At most, I'd leave him with his life.

Park Jae-sang followed with a fawning smile, "Elder, you're so merciful. In my opinion, this boy should..."

"...pieces, not even a whole body left for him..."

Li Haizheng said: "Young people have a little bit of skill, they are arrogant and boundless, even daring to offend Yunxia Mountain. They can't blame others for what happened today."

Several people were talking excitedly, their words revolving around Ye Bufan's fear and regret, and the overwhelming power of Yunxia Mountain.

When they were engrossed in their conversation, the head bodyguard rushed in from outside and whispered a few words in Park Jae-sang's ear.

"What This can't be!"

Park Jae Sang's face changed drastically after hearing this.

"At the same time, he also asked, 'Mr. Park, what happened'"

"This..."

Park Jae-sang hesitated for a moment and said, "The three major families of the capital city have jointly opened up the betting market for tomorrow's battle at Lake Yanbo."

"What's all the fuss about" Guan Ping said with disdain, "There is no suspense in this gamble. Tomorrow, Yunxiao Mountain will surely win. These three prominent families are brainless and destined to lose everything."

Park Jae-sang said, "It's not this, or the opening of the market is a bit strange."

"What's so strange Did they give my master odds of a hundred to one, or even a thousand to one"

Guan Ping said proudly, "This was to be expected after all, the strength between the two sides in this duel is vastly different."

Li Haizheng smiled and said: "That's right, it was a ten-to-one final result, and the win is still a win. The gambling stakes of the three major families are destined to lose."

Listening to the disguised flattery of the crowd, Hong Sihai's expression grew more and more smug.

Park Jae-sang swallowed nervously and stammered, "It's not like that. The three great families offered odds of 2 to 1 for Ye Bufan to win, while Yunxia Mountain was offered odds of 10 to 1."

Now the expressions of all the people present changed drastically. Everyone knew what this meant, that they were not optimistic about Yunxia Mountain and Hong Sihai, but rather optimistic that Ye Bufan would win.

To put it another way, this is a veiled insult to Yunxia Mountain.

Hong Sihai's expression instantly darkened: "You're not wrong, are you"

Lee Haizheng quickly followed up, “Yes, Master. Didn’t you say it the other way around”

In the eyes of everyone present, this ratio was barely acceptable in reverse, and even a 2:1 ratio wouldn't be worthy of Hong Sihai's status.

"That's right, that's the odds." Park Jaesang quickly explained, "But Elder, don't worry too much about it. After all, these three families are backed by Ye Bufan; they're all on the same side."trictions before starting to refine pills in his furnace.Power always prevails.
