The three of them stood in front of Quin Lin’s office. They looked at each other anxiously. Finally, thepatriarch of the Qian Family hesitated slightly and took a step forward. He seemed to have decided onhis choice. The patriarch of the An Family and the Dai Family both stared at him intently At thismoment, the sound of a faint yet clear voice was heard ringing beside everyone’s ears in Long City." Itis 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 officeand ready to enter, couldn’t help but tremble and almost fell onto the ground. At this moment, thepatriarchs of the An Family and the Dai Family had also pale faces, and cold sweat oozed from theirforeheads. They couldn’t imagine how terrible it would be for their families to become the enemies ofthe Sun Family. Concurrently,many people found themselves in this dilemma everywhere in Long City.With the announcement of Francesca Sun, the Long City businessmen were completely divided intotwo 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 thosebusinessmen who did not choose to support the Sun Family, or were indecisive, they felt as thoughthey 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 inFei Enterprises Holdings Inc, or put their trust in Fade Chen. Even if they chose to do so, they had toaccept certain defeat, because no one could believe that Fade would be able to defeat the elder of theSun Family,the top expert in Long City Just as the patriarchs of the An family, the Qian family and theDai family were about to faint at the doorstep of Quin’s office, the door opened. Fade walked out withease, his hands in his pockets and whistling. Before leaving, he did not forget to kiss his wife and saidwith a smile," Honey, don’t worry. Just wait for the good news of my victory!" After that, Fade glanced atthe three people at the door. His body seemed to sway gently, and in a flash he had left swiftly anddisappeared. Seeing Fade with such self-assurance, the three of them, who almost fainted, regainedsome confidence. At this time, as Francesca made the announcement, it seemed like she wasnovelbin
declaring a war. The atmosphere at Green Peace Lake became lively and full of excitement. Incomingmartial artists had gathered around the lake. The surrounding area was bustling with people. As theygazed at the vast lake, they were filled with anticipation and exhilaration. Looking around, one couldspot many well-known martial artists and warriors from around town. At this time, they were all crowdedaround the lake. They were all ready to watch this rare battle, which happened maybe once in manydecades. As the crowd continued to buzz, there was no lack of discussion about who would emergevictorious or who would suffer defeat. Some people even started to place bets on the winner. However,these bets were mostly one-sided. Ninety five per cent of the placed bets were people who werebetting on Francesca’s success. The remaining five percent were people who bet on Fade’s victory.They were mostly people who wanted to increase the odds for themselves in gaining some profit. Afterall, the odds of betting on Fade’s victory were one to fifty. If someone invested ten thousand, it mightturn into five hundred thousand if they won. Almost all the martial artists and warriors present did notlack in wealth. Therefore, there were some people who placed bets on Fade’s victory. Of course,everyone was very rational and had calculated the risks. They put in around ten thousand each, or afew thousand, but none of them placed bets valued more than one hundred thousand in his favor. In astark contrast,bets were placed on Francesca around the amount of a few hundred thousand, a fewmillion, or even more than ten million. The amount of money placed on Fade paled in comparison.Some people couldn’t help but tease the bookie who was involved, telling him that he would surelymake 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 bookieright?" Although he spoke in a relaxed tone, the bookie still seemed rather worried.
According to the current betting statistics, Francesca had reached nearly one billion in placed bets,while Fade had only reached around two million. Although the amount which he needed to pay ifFrancesca won was considered low, he would still need to come up with more than one billion.Therefore, the bookie desperately tried to recruit people to place bets on Fade." Mr. Chen’s nicknameis Lunatic Chen, and he is great in skill and strength. Don’t you want to place 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 clad indesigner clothing could be seen coming over. With confident smiles on their faces, they strutted with anair of exclusivity At the sight of this group of people, the bookies's eyes lit up. This group of young menand women were all outstanding martial-artists of the younger generation. For example, the young manwearing red was Logan Huo of the Huo family. The woman with a pair of beautiful eyes was NaomiYing, the daughter of Lord Ying. And behind them were many others who were upcoming youngtalents. They were all descendants of well-known families, so naturally they did not lack in wealth. Theirsimilarity to Fade was due to the fact that they were all upcoming young talents. Perhaps they wouldappreciate this similarity and place bets on Fade to emerge the victor. As he thought of this, the bosscouldn't resist calling out to them. "Gentleman Huo, Miss Ying, everyone, would you like to have somefun and place some bets ?" Upon hearing his voice, several of the young people glanced at each otherand smiled. After discussing for a while, they came over. The boss was filled with joy. He quickly madehis sales pitch, "All of you are upcoming young talents of Long City's martial- arts circle. I am not sureof your opinion on this upcoming battle. Fade seems very young, just like you. His odds are not bad.Do you want to place bets on him ?" Gentleman Huo, who was at their helm, interrupted the boss. Hesaid with a smile, "Boss, there is no need to try to make a sales pitch. Although Fade is powerful, he isno match for Francesca ,who is the top master of Long City. This time, he is bound to lose." Whilespeaking, he directly took out a bank card and said in a clear voice, "I will place a bet of one hundredmillion that Francesca will win!" Hearing this, the boss was stunned. He originally wanted to recruitthem to place bets on Fade to emerge victor, in order to reduce the loss for himself. But he didn'texpect that they would place such high bets on Francesca. A hundred million was a lot, and his lossinstantly became steeper. Seeing the hesitation of the boss, Gentleman Huo said, ‘What’s wrong? OldMr. Hu won’t let us have fun and place bets ?‘ With so many people present, Old Mr. Hu did not want toruin his reputation. He could only grit his teeth and grimace. Even if it was a huge loss, he had toaccept it. ‘What are you talking about, Gentleman Huo ? Since my small stall is open for business, youare considered my guest. Naturally, I will not refuse.".
