Chapter 184 Workshop Gamble
"Heh, someone’s got guts!" Zhao Dangyuan sneered as he looked at Jing Yan.
But hidden behind his smile was a trace of cold cruelty.
"However, just fighting to the death seems a bit too dull!" Zhao Dangyuan’s eyes shifted slightly, "Since Zhao Zhenyan of the Zhao Family and Jing Yan of the Jing Family are going to clash, why don’t we two families put something exciting on the line as a bet?"
The words that followed from Zhao Dangyuan were directed at the Jing Family Patriarch, Jing Chengye.
"A bet?" Jing Chengye inhaled sharply.
"Yes, how about wagering your Jing Family’s West District Square as the stake for the battle between Jing Yan and Zhao Zhenyan? Patriarch Jing, since Jing Yan is so confident in his own strength, you couldn’t possibly lack confidence in him, correct?" said Zhao Dangyuan, with a sly grin on his face.
Donglin City has Four Major Markets: East District Square, West District Square, South District Market, and North District Market.
Jing Family has control over the West District Square.
Zhao Dangyuan wanted the Jing Family to stake the West District Square as a bet, of course with his own machinations in mind. If a prodigy like Jing Yan were to be killed, and the Jing Family were to then lose the West District Square, it would spell the inevitable decline of the Jing Family.
Unless the Jing Family could produce another figure like Jing Tian! But that was simply out of the question.
The Four Major Markets of Donglin City were controlled by top-tier families without exception. The importance of a market to a family was something every martial artist in Donglin City knew all too well.
For instance, the West District Square controlled by the Jing Family accounted for at least one-third of the family’s annual revenue.
