Chapter 618
In the following matches, the Huang family had almost equal numbers of victories and defeats.
Hence, they did not suffer much loss.
As for the Sun family, although Shinnie won the first match, they had more defeats than victories.
Moreover, as the current organizer of the Martial Arts Convention, the other great families and ns
challenged the Sun family a lot. Therefore, the Sun family ended up fighting in more than ten
matches. In the end, they won only three matches and lost the rest.
So far, the Sun family had umted approximately a hundred million yuan in losses.
The Sun family had lost a lot, whereas the Yue family had the most gains. Hitherto, the Yue family
had engaged in eight matches, but they had lost only two matches. As a result, they had earned
more than 100 million yuan, and they appeared to be more powerful than the other great families
and ns.
The martial artists who were watching thepetition started to worry about the Sun Family. After
all, most of the martial artists
present were local, so they were rooting for the Sun Family.
Francesca''s face fell. Although she had expected results like this, all of the great families and ns
constantly challenged the Sun family from the very beginning of thepetition, especially the
Lightning n and the Yue family of the Westamor District. She found it strange that they
challenged the Sun family in every match.
However, the situation was not at its worst yet. After all, the bets on these matches were around a
few millions yuan only. Even if the Sun family lost most of these matches, they would only lose a
hundred million yuan.
For the Sun family who had arge business, it was nothing at all.
However, the betting amount would get bigger and bigger. If the Lightning n and the Yue family
continued to target the Sun family like this in the following matches, things would get a little difficult.
After all, most of the averagely ranked members in the Sun family had lost, and almost no one
advanced to subsequent rounds. If there was a match invitation again, it would definitely end in
defeat.
Just as Francesca was worried about all these, there was a scream on the stage. A person got
knocked off stage, spitting a mouthful of blood.
The other members of the Sun family hurried out of the ship to save that person.
Francesca''s expression darkened. She threw a note in the direction of the Lightning n. The Sun
family had lost again.
The winner was none other than Zachary Chang from the Lightning n.
After Zachary won the match, he cupped his hands to show his obeisance to the crowd. Then, he
nced at the great families and ns. Finally, his gaze fell on the Sun family, and he dered,
"Elder Sun, it is my intention to challenge the Sun family next."
As soon as he said that, everyone nced at Zachary. They were startled.
Although it was not against the rules to challenge the same family consecutively, doing so was
practically dering war on that family.
For a moment, everyone looked at the Sun family and the Lightning n, curious of what would
follow.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
Francesca''s face fell slightly, and she didn''t offer much reaction other than her cold nce at
Zachary.
On the other hand, Franklin Chang, the Guardian of the Lightning n, stroked his white beard
gently and smiled with indifference. He did not appear to take his disciple''s challenge to the Sun
family seriously at all.
Narrowing her eyes slightly, Francesca snorted softly and said, "Of course you can challenge the
Sun family. Erasmus, it''s your turn to fight."
Francesca called out for one of the men in the Sun family, who was in his thirties. The man nodded
and went on stage.
But just then, Zachary sneered, "Elder Sun, the previous matches were fought by the youngsters.
For this match, the Lightning n wants a bigger game. Do you, Sun family, ept the challenge
or not?"
"What is it?" Francesca answered in a cold tone as her expression darkened.
Zachary took a contract from his pocket and said, "The Lightning n will bet with thend where
the Dragon Source Herb Farm is!"
As soon as he said that, the crowd was astonished. Everyone was talking about it in an instant.
"Thend where the Dragon Source Herb Farm is? The Lightning n is really ying a big game,"
a martial artist eximed.
"What is the Lightning n doing? Are they
looking for trouble with the Sun family? It''s indeed a big bet," another martial artist said.
"Thend where Dragon Source Herb Farm is located is priced real estate. Its environment is very
conducive for nting high- quality spiritual medicine, and the price of this medicine is very high on
the market. Hence, the farm is a big source of ie for the Lightning n! It''s definitely worth
more than one billion yuan," the other martial artist imed.
"If the Sun family gets the Dragon Source Herb Farm, they would definitely be even more
powerful," the first martial artist uttered.
"However, the Lightning n also have a high ask of the Sun family if they are using the Dragon
Source Herb Farm to bet," he added.
As the crowd grew frantic over what Zachary had just dered, Francesca''s expression was
complicated. Then, she threw a nce at Franklin and said, "It''s the Dragon Source Herb Farm.
The Lightning n is really generous!"
Franklin smiled gently and replied, "It''s just a game. Elder Sun, you are too serious."
Zachary immediately added, "Elder Sun, since the Lightning n is using the Dragon Source Herb
Farm to bet against the Sun family, I wonder if the Sun family is willing to return the favour?"
"What is it?" Francesca asked.
Zachary said, "A token! The one left behind by the person you served many years ago, Elder Sun."
The crowd did not understand what token Zachary was talking about, and they didn''t know who
Francesca used to serve.
However, when Francesca and Fade heard what Zachary said, they immediately understood which
token Zachary was referring to. It was the token that Quin Lin''s mother, Chrystal Xie, had given to
Francesca.
For a moment, Francesca''s face fell. She looked at Zachary and Franklin as she chided, "If you
want me to bet my token, the Dragon Source Herb Farm is not enough."
After all, the token was from the Wushuang Tower, a Heaven Level n. Moreover, it belonged to
one of its important members, Chrystal. The value of the token was self-evident, and it could not be
compared to the Dragon Source Herb Farm.
In fact, none of the worth of the great families and ns present at the convention could rival the
value of the token.
Thus, the Lightning n''s offer to use the Dragon Source Herb Farm to bet with the token of
Wushuang Tower was very tricky.
Those who did not know the real situation might not understand the difference in the value of the
token and thend. However, it was impossible that Franklin, the Guardian of the Lightning n,
not to know that. Yet, he still asked his disciple to provoke the Sun family.
He clearly had contempt for the Sun family and wanted to challenge them. Francesca instantly
became angry. She looked at Franklin coldly.
However, Franklin pretended not to know the truth. He was still smiling and gazing at the stage
calmly, as if Zachary''s request was very reasonable.
