Chapter 1138 - 1133: Car Racing
The moment Demon Slaughter swallowed the Poison Pill, his heart was already dead. He didn’t even hear Ah Mao’s words.
"Remember, this Poison Pill acts up once a month. I’m the only one in this world with the antidote. As long as you behave, you might still have a chance to live to a hundred," Ah Mao said, patting Demon Slaughter’s cheek, Wei Xia speaking.
Demon Slaughter nodded numbly, looking completely lost.
Ah Mao and Qin Hao exchanged a smile, both feeling the satisfaction of avenging a great grievance.
Having almost finished dealing with matters here, Qin Hao was ready to leave.
However, the crowd suddenly stirred, making way, and Xia Youde walked over, "Mr. Night Emperor, please stay."
Qin Hao turned to look at him, his face expressionless.
Xia Youde hesitated for a moment, then smiled, "Since Mr. Night Emperor is here, why rush to leave?"
Qin Hao did not answer, but Ah Mao jumped in, "Do you want to turn things around?"
"Turn things around?" Tom echoed, full of confusion.
Ah Mao explained, "The guests present, including Demon Slaughter, are basically all people from the Rose Society. This bird society values face the most. Now that the boss has embarrassed them, they want to save face."
"I see." Tom nodded, then wondered, "Didn’t they lose miserably? How do they plan to turn things around? Is everyone on site going to join in?"
Xia Youde couldn’t help but laugh, "Indeed, we wish to regain some face, but please don’t misunderstand, regarding martial prowess, we admit that Night Emperor’s martial arts are unparalleled and invincible. We hope to compete in car racing instead."
"Car racing!" Tom’s eyes lit up, "No wonder there are so many supercars parked at the hotel entrance. It’s your doing!"
Xia Youde’s face showed a hint of pride, "Hehe, truth be told, the original purpose of establishing the Rose Society was to create a supercar club. Only as it grew did members from various fields join, venturing into all sorts of areas. Underground boxing is merely one of our projects."
"This Rose Society is quite impressive," Ah Mao said, resting his chin in his hand.
"Not too bad." Xia Youde had a trace of smugness on his face.
Ah Mao continued, "If we could take over such a big organization, it wouldn’t be bad. Boss, what do you think?"
Xia Youde’s expression froze.
Take over?
Is he talking about convincing the Rose Society?
Haha, do they really think we’re some third-rate organization?
In reality, the Rose Society doesn’t have a single leader; it’s run by seven founders sharing power. Because it’s a situation of competing factions, there’s no true person behind the scenes.
Now, Ah Mao actually said that, isn’t he brain-dead?
Yet Qin Hao nodded seriously and said, "We can consider it, but I already have too many organizations under my name."
Xia Youde found it amusing in a frustrating way.
Consider it?
There’s no one who plays pretend as well as you do!
Xia Youde admits that Qin Hao’s combat prowess is through the roof.
Currently, no member present can rival him.
However, that doesn’t mean the Rose Society has no skilled individuals.
And the Rose Society excels in car racing, so what if you are good at fighting?
Once my car starts, can you catch up?
"President Xia, would you like the boss to participate in car racing?" Ah Mao asked, rubbing his hands.
"Precisely, I’ve long heard that Night Emperor is skilled in both literature and combat, so I thought he must have some experience in racing, hence the invitation," Xia Youde said with a smile, although his eyes suggested an ulterior motive.
"No stakes or anything?" Ah Mao said, somewhat excited.
Xia Youde felt a chill in his heart. What does this guy’s expression mean?
Planning to use the race as a scheme to make money?
Does he really have that much faith in Qin Hao?
But he smiled and said, "Of course. And the first prize has over a billion USD in rewards."
"That much?" Ah Mao’s interest perked up immediately, "If I take first, not only would I avoid bankruptcy, but I could make a huge profit?"
"That’s correct." Xia Youde was quite pleased, worried only that Qin Hao wouldn’t participate.
Hehe, as long as he participates, he must be shown the strength of the Rose Society.
Seemingly afraid Qin Hao would refuse, Xia Youde quickly said, "Mr. Qin Hao, you’ve just defeated the ten fighters we invited. If I’m not mistaken, the accumulated prize money can reach up to five billion USD. If you participate in the Rose Society and take first, the prize can be doubled. That means you could earn a total of ten billion USD."
"Ten billion!" Ah Mao gasped. He had worked hard to complete so many thrilling tasks, and with Qin Hao’s generous hand, he barely saved up fifty million as marital funds, and that’s in RMB.
What concept is that a hundred million?
Even Tom, the boss, felt a bit tempted.
Such a large sum of money is enough to accomplish many significant things.
Yet Qin Hao’s face remained calm, merely frowning slightly.
Xia Youde was nervous. Was he unwilling? Wouldn’t want a chance to earn an extra five billion dollars with a little risk?
"Mr. Night Emperor, even if you lose, you won’t suffer any losses," Xia Youde continued.
Qin Hao sighed, "Actually, I didn’t intend to participate. After all, you don’t often gather for such an event, and it’s not good if someone steals the spotlight."
"However, considering your sincere invitation, I’ll participate this once."
These faint words made Xia Youde a bit annoyed.
I’ve seen people play pretend.
Never seen anyone play pretend so well.
As if you guaranteeing first place for just participating?
Truly arrogant!
Because the scene was quiet, Qin Hao’s voice inevitably reached others’ ears.
Immediately, the members all smirked.
"High combat value is nice; it’s just that his emotional intelligence is a bit low."
"With such arrogant tones, even the underground world’s Car King Schumacher wouldn’t dare speak this way, right?"
"Hehe. My Ford GT has been racing for years, and it’s never lost!"
"Since he dares to participate, I must thoroughly humiliate the Night Emperor!"
Xia Youde felt much more at ease after hearing this.
It seemed the members were angry, Night Emperor; prepare to embarrass yourself!
On the other side, unwilling to lag behind, Ah Mao loudly shouted, "Come on, come on, the car race is about to start, let’s bet on it!"
The members in the distance rolled their eyes.
You’ve just lost, and they couldn’t escape, yet you still have money to bet?
Tom was thinking similarly and couldn’t help but say, "Where do you get the money to bet?"
"Aren’t you here?" Ah Mao said, looking somewhat confused.
"Me?" Tom’s face was full of disbelief, "You think I’m an ATM?"
"You’re stupid; this bunch definitely doesn’t believe in the boss, so we can make a big haul."
Tom nodded accordingly, "True, if the boss is the one taking action, then it’s surely first place."
Nearby, Demon Slaughter felt a bit better watching these two.
So they’re this kind of simpletons.
Do they just blindly trust someone like this?
Qin Hao is powerful, but racing is a completely different concept than fighting.
Being so arrogant, he’s certainly doomed!
