Chapter 121: Con artists.
Because of his inner struggle, Xiao Lian’s shout turned out to be so loud it was heard by everyone. While most people began to laugh at him, there were few who immediately wanted to make the use of the situation and bully him into making the bet.
"Brother Xiao, I accept your bet!" There were three who shouted at the same time, and began to pester him.
"Brother Xiao, you can’t go back on your word! I’ll match your bet!" One rushed to him, climbing over a couple of rows of annoyed spectators.
"No! I agreed first! Don’t meddle in!" Another one argued.
I the end there were six people who claimed they had the right to bet with Xiao Lian, and his own opinion apparently didn’t matter. The whole place instantly turned into a chaotic marketplace.
Someone claiming the scrawny kid was capable of defeating him pissed off Xie Wuking. He noted he had to teach Xiao Lian a lesson next, but decided it would be only proper to take the free points first.
Xie Wuking walked over to Xiao Lian, and said, "If you want to bet with anyone, I have the right to take this bet first! How many contribution points do you have?"
"Five thousand ..." Xiao Lian said, and was immediately drowned in regret.
He began to have a bad premonition and his stomach churned as he noticed the sudden excitement in the eyes of the people around him. As expected, there were too many who wanted to take the bet – even if one didn’t witness Lee’s fights during the past months, the difference between the two parties was too obvious.
