"Of course. Congratulations, Young Master Wen -- my congratulations! This one match will bring you over five billion in earnings!" Xiao Luo was beginning to genuinely admire An Liwen. The bastard really knew how to rake in the money.
"Heh heh, naturally. Have you forgotten who I am? I deal only in ventures with no capital at stake!" An Liwen snorted smugly. He was now a man of the hour in the Fire Wolf Gang; his prestige had already surpassed that of his elder brother An Jiande, and he had become one of the gang's financial pillars.
"Indeed. It is truly my honor to work with you, Young Master Wen!" Dr. Yin chimed in, flattering him too.
There was no help for it. These days, whoever could bring money into the gang was a big man. Even Dr. Yin's biochemical research could not survive without An Liwen's support.
An Liwen was the boldest man Dr. Yin had ever seen -- snatching people right off the street to fight and to serve as test subjects. Even the Fire Wolf Gang would not dare do such a thing lightly. Carry on like this, and sooner or later it was bound to blow up.
But since Xiao Luo would take the fall, Dr. Yin did not care. In any case, the arena's income had already far exceeded expectations. Originally the Fire Wolf Gang had set An Liwen a target: within one year, use this underground arena to rake in a billion in black money.
Yet in less than a month, An Liwen had already overshot the target. Tonight alone would bring in at least five billion. And that was without a detailed tally; once the accounts were settled, it would likely be more than five billion.
Under Black Cat's relentless heavy punches, Red Dragon was finally sent flying. His chest had caved in completely, twisted into a horrifying shape. For a man to still be alive in such a state was simply impossible.
The stands fell utterly silent. The spectators were all stunned.
They had never imagined that Red Dragon, their favored champion, would lose just like that. This time they did not shout for Red Dragon to get up, because in his condition it was utterly impossible for him to rise.
Red Dragon's entire rib cage had been smashed; his whole body had been crushed flat. How could he possibly get up?
They refused to believe the reality before their eyes, yet they had no choice but to accept it, for Black Cat had already raised both hands, and the countdown was already echoing through the arena... Black Cat had won!
For a moment the arena was quiet, and then wails of grief and howls of abuse rose from the stands.
Nearly everyone had bet on Red Dragon to win. In such a situation, no one at all had wagered on Black Cat, so they had all lost. In an instant, they went from big-shot bosses to debt-ridden paupers.
Some beat their chests and stamped their feet; some howled and wept; some wanted to end their lives on the spot...
Looking at the suffering people around him, Yunhai Shuku felt like dying. Five hundred thousand! Five hundred thousand -- how was he ever going to repay it? Where would he find the money? His savings amounted to just over twenty thousand yuan, money he had set aside for his daughter Yu Yuanyuan's dowry...
