Howl—
Along with a reluctant howl, Little Black collapsed.
At the same time, Huang Xiaomeng and the gang’s fragile little heart collapsed too.
“This…this…”
Huang Xiaomeng was on the verge of tears, unable to accept reality. She muttered in disbelief, “I lost? I actually lost?”
Li Muxue looked sympathetically at Huang Xiaomeng, not knowing how to console her.
Leopard and the rest were in a daze. Their lips trembled, unable to even make a sound. The woman that was enticing Ye Lingchen broke down into tears on the spot. Her cries were filled with absolute sadness, extremely pitiful.
“Leopard, you dog, how dare you trick us?!” The crowd immediately looked at him threateningly.
Leopard had a horrible look on his face. “This is not my fault. I lost all my money too! It must be the organizers intentionally arranging it. They must be using some underhanded methods behind the scenes!”
“Hot damn! I won?!”
At that moment of sadness, a dissonant voice cut across the air. All they saw was Ye Lingchen with an excited look on his face. “Amazing! Your inside information is surely accurate. I won! Thank you for helping me win this much money out of nowhere!”
As Huang Xiaomeng stared at Ye Lingchen’s overjoyed face, her heart was shaking, blaming the heaven’s for being unfair!
At the same time, an employee approached them. “Young Master Ye Lingchen, here are your winnings, totaling RMB1,200,000. You’re welcome to continue gambling.”
“Mm, thank you.”
Ye Lingchen received the RMB1,200,000 with a smile.
The payout rate for dogfighting was one to one. Ye Lingchen bet for RMB600,000 so his payout was RMB600,000. If he lost, then all that would be gone.
“Eh?”
Ye Lingchen embraced his inner drama king. He looked at Huang Xiaomeng and the rest in feigned surprise. “Didn’t you guys bet too? Why didn’t you win anything?”
Huang Xiaomeng’s face almost turned purple, pushed to the point of tears. She said through gritted teeth, “We bet on Little Black.”
“What?!” Ye Lingchen was ‘flabbergasted’, then said in a ‘touched’ voice, “You’re so nice to me. You have me place my bet on Little White while you placed your bet on Little Black. You’re just letting me win intentionally!”
Huang Xiaomeng could feel that pent up frustration stuck within her chest, almost suffocating herself.
The others were going through the same thing. They all looked at Ye Lingchen, very much tempted to give him a good beating as their hearts were bleeding!
That was their entire savings! At first, they thought they could make a killing, but who would have thought that they would lose it all. Instead, Ye Lingchen had won a huge sum out of nowhere. His luck was truly amazing!
To think that they treated him like some idiot. In the end, they were the idiots.
“Ye Lingchen, I recommended you to bet on Little White. Now that you’ve won so much money, you should give me some commission right?” Huang Xiaomeng asked Ye Lingchen pitifully as she was penniless at the moment.
She stared at the pile of cash beside Ye Lingchen, drooling at the amount.
“That’s true,” Ye Lingchen nodded profoundly.
He did not take any money from that pile of cash but instead started searching in his pockets. After some time, he finally fished out a crumpled up RMB20 note and passed it to Huang Xiaomeng.
“Here, keep it.”
Huang Xiaomeng stared at the RMB20 with a dumbfounded look.
Her own transportation cost to bring him here was already more than the RMB20. Was he sending her away as he would a beggar?
“Don’t be shy. Keep it!” Ye Lingchen added, stuffing the RMB20 note into the dazed Huang Xiaomeng’s hand, speaking in a generous tone, “Please don’t think it’s too much. It’s what you should get.”
‘I…’
‘How can you even do such a shameless thing?!’
‘Humiliation. This is a direct and plain humiliation!’
“The first round is done. Next will be the second round that everyone was anticipating for!” The emcee’s voice announced, “Let’s have a look at which two dogs would be taking part in the next fight.”
On the big screen, the names started to rotate quickly.
Finally, it was Black Fur and White Fur.
Immediately, the cages holding the two dogs were slowly pushed forward.
Black Fur and White Fur’s size were not as big as Little White and Little Black from the last round. However, they were famous for their strength. Naturally violent, fierce, quick, and aggressive.
They too were barking at each other, baring their fangs.
Black Fur, “Hey, you won’t forget about the bone you owe me from this morning right?”
White Fur, “Relax, I’m a good dog that returns its favor. I won’t forget.”
Black Fur, “Good, then let me win this match.”
White Fur, “No problem. However, the humans won’t be happy if we don’t fight. Let’s just put on a show and make it look serious.”
…
“Ye Lingchen, which one do you plan to bet on?” Huang Xiaomeng asked.
Both the dogs had decent fighting strength, being more or less the same. It was really difficult to tell which one would be stronger.
“My luck today is quite good. I’ll bet everything on Black Fur. What do you think?” Ye Lingchen asked.
“Sure!” Huang Xiaomeng immediately nodded, “Your fortune is great. Don’t miss this chance. Place everything on it!”
“Bro, don’t hesitate!”
The rest were also fanning the flames, eager to have Ye Lingchen place everything on the line.
From their perspective, Ye Lingchen had tasted some benefits and got addicted to gambling!
There was the saying where nine out of ten gambles result in a loss. They refused to believe that a rookie like Ye Lingchen would continue to win.
Seeing Ye Lingchen winning, they were already jealous to start with. They naturally wanted him to lose everything.
They had to convince him to continue gambling no matter what!
“Alright!” Ye Lingchen was excited, “since you guys say so, I’ll place my bets!”
He immediately signaled for an employee and placed all RMB1,200,000 on Black Fur.
“Brother Ye, you’re so cool!”
“Brother Ye, you’re so generous! I’m impressed!”
Leopard was respectful on the surface, yet within his heart, he sneered and was waiting to see Ye Lingchen’s expression when he lost everything.
“End of betting phase. Next, let the dogs out!”
Clank!
The cages opened slowly. Black Fur and White Fur roared at each other then darted outwards, biting at each other.
The crowd immediately broke into cheers.
“Get him! You must win!”
“Bite it, I’ve bet all my assets on you!”
“Go, go, go!”
Huang Xiaomeng and the rest were also watching the match with rapt attention. Their palms were sweating, growing even more anxious than Ye Lingchen.
Although they did not place any bets, Ye Lingchen did!
Ye Lingchen bet on Black Fur, which meant…
‘White Fur you must do your best! You must win!’
The fight between both dogs turned heated. They exchanged bites and went all out. The cheers from the crowd never stopped and all their faces were flushed red from the excitement.
Finally, Black Fur’s paw raised up high and swung down hard on White Fur’s face. That slap seemed to have stunned White Fur, leaving it dazed on the spot.
The next moment, it was given a thorough beating by Black Fur.
Huang Xiaomeng’s eyes narrowed.
‘That…Black Fur won?’
“F*ck, that kid won again?!” Leopard was stunned. He looked at Ye Lingchen with bloodshot eyes.
This time his RMB1,200,000 just turned into RMB2,400,000!
The others were also hyperventilating, their chest heaving as they took deep breaths.
‘Damn it, I’m so jealous!’
