Chapter 341
The three of them stood in front of Quin Lin''s office. They looked at each other anxiously.
Finally, the patriarch of the Qian Family hesitated slightly and took a step forward. He seemed to
have decided on his choice. The patriarch of the An Family and the Dai Family both stared at him
intently.
At this moment, the sound of a faint yet clear voice was heard ringing beside everyone''s ears in
Long City. "It is time now. Anyone who does not select the Sun Family will be seen as enemies of
the Sun Family."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Qian Family patriarch,who was at the entrance of the
office and ready to enter, couldn''t help but tremble and almost fell onto the ground. At this moment,
the patriarchs of the An Family and the Dai Family had also pale faces, and cold sweat oozed from
their foreheads.
They couldn''t imagine how terrible it would be for their families to be the enemies of the Sun
Family.
Concurrently,many people found themselves in this dilemma everywhere in Long City. With
the announcement of Francesca Sun, the Long City businessmen werepletely divided into two
halves.
Those that chose to support the Sun Family could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Thinking of the
benefits they had gained from this situation, they could not help but smile.
As for those businessmen who did not choose to support the Sun Family, or were indecisive, they
felt as though they had been struck down. This announcement had named them as the enemies of
the Sun family. They felt dizzy and their faces were extremely pale.
There were not many people who firmly believed in Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, or put their trust in
Fade Chen. Even if they chose to do so, they had to ept certain defeat, because no one could
believe that Fade would be able to defeat the elder of the Sun Family,the top expert in Long City.
Just as the patriarchs of the An family, the Qian family and the Dai family were about to faint at the
doorstep of Quin''s office, the door opened. Fade walked out with ease, his hands in his pockets and
whistling. Before leaving, he did not forget to kiss his wife and said with a smile, "Honey, don''t worry.
Just wait for the good news of my victory!"
After that, Fade nced at the three people at the door. His body seemed to sway gently, and in a
sh he had left swiftly and disappeared.
Seeing Fade with such self- assurance, the three of them, who almost fainted, regained some
confidence.
At this time, as Francesca made the announcement, it seemed like she was dering a war. The
atmosphere at Green Peace Lake became lively and full of excitement.
Iing martial-artists had gathered around theke. The surrounding area was bustling with
people. As they gazed at the vastke, they were filled with anticipation and exhration.
Looking around, one could spot many well-known martial- artists and warriors from around town. At
this time, they were all crowded around theke. They were all ready to watch this rare battle, which
happened maybe once in many decades.
As the crowd continued to buzz, there was nock of discussion about who would emerge
victorious or who would suffer defeat. Some people even started to ce bets on the winner.
However, these bets were mostly one-sided. Ny five per cent of the ced bets were people
who were betting on Francesca''s sess. The remaining five percent were people who bet on
Fade''s victory. They were mostly people who wanted to increase the odds forthemselves in gaining
some profit.
Original from N?velDrama.Org.
After all, the odds of betting on Fade''s victory were one to fifty. If someone invested ten thousand, it
might turn into five hundred thousand if they won.
Almost all the martial- artists and warriors present did notck in wealth. Therefore, there were
some people who ced bets on Fade''s victory. Of course, everyone was very rational and had
calcted the risks. They put in around ten thousand each, or a few thousand, but none of them
ced bets valued more than one hundred thousand in his favor.
In a stark contrast,bets were ced on Francesca around the amount of a few hundred thousand, a
few million, or even more than ten million. The amount of money ced on Fade paled in
comparison.
Some people couldn''t help but tease the bookie who was involved, telling him that he would surely
make a loss.
The bookie seemed to take it in his stride . He said with a smile, "When one gambles, there will be
winners and losers. Anyway, if I knew exactly who would win or lose, I can''t be a bookie right?"
Although he spoke in a rxed tone, the bookie still seemed rather worried. ording to the
current betting statistics, Francesca had reached nearly one billion in ced bets, while Fade had
only reached around two million. Although the amount which he needed to pay if Francesca won
was considered low, he would still need toe up with more than one billion.
Therefore, the bookie desperately tried to recruit people to ce bets on Fade. "Mr. Chen''s
nickname is Lunatic Chen, and he is great in skill and strength. Don''t you want to ce bets on him
that he will win?"
Unfortunately, no matter how frantically the bookie urged and persuaded the people around him,
everyone still swarmed to bet on Francesca.
Suddenly, a group of young men and women d in designer clothing could be seening over.
With confident smiles on their faces, they strutted with an air of exclusivity.
At the sight of this group of people, the bookies''s eyes lit up.This group of young men and women
were all outstanding martial-artists of the younger generation.
For example, the young man wearing red was Logan Huo of the Huo family. The woman with a pair
of beautiful eyes was Naomi Ying, the daughter of Lord Ying. And behind them were many others
who were uing young talents.
They were all descendants of well- known families,so naturally they did notck in wealth. Their
simrity to Fade was due to the fact that they were all uing young talents. Perhaps they
would appreciate this simrity and ce bets on Fade to emerge the victor.
As he thought of this, the boss couldn''t resist calling out to them. "Gentleman Huo, Miss Ying,
everyone, would you like to have some fun and ce some bets?"
Upon hearing his voice, several of the young people nced at each other and smiled. After
discussing for a while, they came over.
The boss was filled with joy. He quickly made his sales pitch, "All of you are uing young talents
of Long City''s martial- arts circle. I am not sure of your opinion on this uing battle. Fade seems
very young, just like you. His odds are not bad. Do you want to ce bets on him?"
Gentleman Huo, who was at their helm, interrupted the boss. He said with a smile, "Boss, there is
no need to try to make a sales pitch. Although Fade is powerful, he is no match for Francesca ,who
is the top master of Long City. This time, he is bound to lose." While speaking, he directly took out a
bank card and said in a clear voice, "I will ce a bet of one hundred million that Francesca will
win!"
Hearing this, the boss was stunned. He originally wanted to recruit them to ce bets on Fade to
emerge victor, in order to reduce the loss for himself. But he didn''t expect that they would ce
such high bets on Francesca. A hundred million was a lot, and his loss instantly became steeper.
Seeing the hesitation of the boss, Gentleman Huo said, "What''s wrong? Old Mr. Hu won''t let us
have fun and ce bets?"
With so many people present, Old Mr. Hu did not want to ruin his reputation. He could only grit his
teeth and grimace. Even if it was a huge loss, he had to ept it. "What are you talking about,
Gentleman Huo? Since my small stall is open for business, you are considered my guest. Naturally,
I will not refuse."
