Chapter 1585: You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a child

“Junior, how dare you insult me!”

After receiving a definite answer, Hong Sihai immediately flew into a rage, slamming his hand down on the table in front of him, shattering it into pieces.

It was no wonder he was so furious; the odds reflected pure, unadulterated contempt.

Just moments ago, he had been mocking them, expecting them to tremble in fear and even fantasizing about them kneeling and begging for mercy. Yet, they hadn't taken it seriously at all; instead, they had offered such Heaven-Defying odds.

“Grand Elder, your status is lofty. There’s no need to bicker with someone who is about to die.”

The speaker was an old man beside him, Xu Liang, the Third Elder of Yunxia Mountain.

“That’s right, Grand Elder, what is your status? There’s no need to get angry with a mere yellow-mouthed child…”

“Exactly, exactly. No matter what, tomorrow is Ye Bufan’s death day…”

The others also tried to persuade him, and Hong Sihai’s anger finally subsided a little.

When his emotions stabilized, Li Hai Zheng smiled and said, “Ye Bufan is truly arrogant to offer such odds, but this also gives us an opportunity.

Originally, our February Group would have had to wait until after the great battle to take over their assets, and there would certainly have been some twists and turns. However, since he’s offering the money with both hands now, we can’t be blamed for simply accepting it with a smile.”

Park Jae-sang’s eyes immediately lit up: “Does Mr. Piao mean that we should directly bet to extract their cash?”

“Exactly.”

Li Hai Zheng said, “The Grand Elder is sure to win this challenge. Betting is like getting money for free. How can we miss such an opportunity?”

“That’s right.”

Park Jae-sang turned to his bodyguard captain and ordered, “Pass on my command: mobilize all of the company’s liquid funds and put them all on Yunxia Mountain to win.”

Guan Ping said, “Mr. Piao is brilliant. Our Yunxia Mountain will certainly not disappoint you.”

Seeing Park Jae-sang’s trust in him, Hong Sihai’s expression finally softened considerably.

At the same time, the entire upper-class society of the Imperial Capital was in turmoil. The news of Yunxia Mountain challenging Ye Bufan had completely spread.

Especially after the Three Great Families opened their betting lines, these people completely exploded.

“Brother, who do you think will win this great battle?”

“Does that even need to be said? I heard that Yunxia Mountain is from a hidden Sect, and the Grand Elder is incredibly powerful. Ye Bufan is no match at all…”

“Then why are the odds like this? If they win, it’s ten to one…”

“It’s a bluff, don’t you understand?

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

This is all an illusion. My old uncle, who runs a boxing gym, told me that Yunxia Mountain will definitely win…”

Through this method, Yunxia Mountain’s reputation quickly spread in the Secular World, and everyone soon knew that there was such an incredibly powerful hidden Sect.

At the same time, the vast majority of people chose to place their bets on Yunxia Mountain, while only a scattered few bet otherwise.

In a luxurious suite at a hotel, Di Qingsheng and Yang Zixiong were sitting together.

Ever since selling Xiongba Entertainment Company to February Group, the two of them had nothing to do and spent their days drinking and having fun here.

“Uncle, do you think we sold our company at a loss this time? It was clearly worth 5 billion, but we ended up selling it to February Group for 2 billion.”

“What do you know? February Group is at its peak right now. Even if we didn’t sell, the company would have been swallowed by them sooner or later.

Now we can sell it for 2 billion, and they can also help us get rid of that kid Ye Bufan.”

When Ye Bufan’s name was mentioned, Yang Zixiong gritted his teeth in hatred.

Di Qingsheng said, “But Uncle, so many days have passed, and Ye Bufan is still fine. Why is there no movement at all?”

“You’re right, I’ll call and ask.”

Yang Zixiong said, taking out his phone, but before he could dial, Park Ji-sung’s call came in.

After the call connected, his expression became increasingly excited. By the time he hung up, he was already gesticulating wildly.

“What’s wrong, Uncle? Is there something good happening?”

Di Qingsheng watched from the side, baffled.

“Hahaha, this time Ye Bufan is dead for sure.”

Yang Zixiong burst into excited laughter, then recounted the story of Yunxia Mountain challenging Ye Bufan from beginning to end.

Finally, he said, “Park Family’s Young Master also told me that Yunxia Mountain’s Grand Elder is an Imperial Realm expert. Even looking across the entire Imperial Capital, no one is his match. This time, Ye Bufan is sure to die.”

“That’s truly great.”

Hearing this news, Park Qingsheng also became excited.

“There’s also good news: we can make a fortune again this time.”

Yang Zixiong said, “Ye Bufan’s side must have eaten the wrong medicine. Not only did they open a betting line for tomorrow’s great battle, but they set the odds for Yunxia Mountain at ten to one.

Now we’ll put down 2 billion, and by tomorrow, it will be 20 billion. What company would we even need to run then? We can live comfortably for the rest of our lives.”

At this point, he couldn’t help but laugh again, “Hahaha… Tomorrow

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

we can personally watch Ye Bufan die, and we can also seize his family fortune. Is there anything more joyful than this?”

Di Qingsheng was also very excited, but then he said with some nervousness, “Uncle, is this reliable? We only have that 2 billion. What if we put it all in and lose?”

“There’s absolutely no way we can lose.” Yang Zixiong said confidently, “Just now, Park Family’s Young Master made it very clear that Yunxia Mountain’s Grand Elder Hong Sihai is invincible. Ye Bufan cannot possibly win, no matter what.”

Di Qingsheng said, “But I always feel it’s a bit unreliable. How about we bet half, 1 billion is already a lot.”

“What do you know? You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a cub. This kind of opportunity is once in a lifetime.”

Yang Zixiong said, “I’m telling you, Park Family’s Young Master just told me that their February Group has put all of their liquid funds on it, going all in.

They’re not afraid with hundreds of billions in assets, so why should we be afraid of our 2 billion? This kind of opportunity to get rich is once in a lifetime; if you miss this village, you won’t find this shop.”

Park Ji-sung had indeed incited him just now, not because their relationship was particularly good, but simply to pull in one more person and take more assets from Ye Bufan.

“Since that’s the case, then let’s bet.”

Hearing that February Group had already put hundreds of billions in liquid funds as a bet, Di Qingsheng stopped saying anything.

The two then proceeded to place all 2 billion as their bet.

The next morning, the sun rose in the east, the sky was cloudless, and the sun shone brightly. Ye Bufan, accompanied by the people of the Three Great Families, headed towards Yanbo Lake.

In fact, since yesterday, Dongfang Jianye and the others had begun preparations there.

They cleared everyone out, even cordoning off Yanbo Lake for dozens of miles around, leaving only one entrance, where they set up a ticket booth to charge an entrance fee of 100,000 chinese yuan per ticket.

After getting into the car, Ye Bufan asked Changsun Cangsong, “First Uncle, how are our betting lines doing?”

“Sales are booming. February Group alone has bet 100 billion chinese yuan, and with other miscellaneous bets, the total investment capital is approximately 200 billion.”

“That much?” Ye Bufan was slightly surprised. His suggestion to set up betting lines was entirely spontaneous, and he hadn’t expected to collect so much money at once.

He smiled and said, “February Group is quite rich, to send us so much money all at once.”
