Capítulo 1694: Chapter 1694: Closing the Market
“Scam you? When did I ever scam you? Sangba, hurry up and place your bet! The odds are already at 5.” Deji didn’t have ti to bother with Xi Hai and quickly turned to glance at Sangba.
Sangba hurried to the bookmaker, taking out all his private savings, “I bet three million on Little Song!”
Three million was no small sum for the bookmaker, either. If he lost, according to the odds of 5, he would have to pay fifteen million!
The bookmaker didn’t issue the ticket imdiately but asked solemnly, “I don’t oppose betting from Tanmu Village, but I need to make sure—the Little Song from your village, is it the little squirrel in your arms?”
Following these words, the village chiefs’ noise abruptly stopped, all turning their heads to look at Sangba!
What the heck! Had they been played again?
Luckily, their worries were completely unnecessary. Sangba nodded slightly, “Of course, Little Song is our guardian beast of Tanmu Village!”
Hearing this, all the village chiefs were relieved. Such a small squirrel could easily be defeated by their mastiff king, let alone the White Wolf.
“According to the rules, a squirrel can indeed beco a Guardian Beast. If this little one is entering the arena, I accept your bet!” The bookmaker, with a sweep of his pen, accepted Sangba’s bet.
All the chiefs looked at Sangba and Little Song with incomprehensible eyes. Was Tanmu Village really so flush with cash they could afford to waste it like this?
“Yuqi, do you want to have a go?” Seeing Mo Yuqi looking a bit sleepy, Qin Yu asked softly.
“Alright, I’ll play a little.” After saying this, Mo Yuqi walked up to the bookmaker and said nonchalantly, “I bet ten million on Little Song.”
Ten million? The bookmaker swallowed hard. If Little Song won, he’d be bankrupt!
“What? You won’t take my bet?” Seeing the bookmaker staring blankly at her, Mo Yuqi glanced at him coolly.
“No, it’s not that… it’s just… this bet is too big. If I lose, I can’t afford to pay.” The bookmaker was a plainsman, very straightforward.
“Oh, then pay as much as you can afford. If that isn’t possible, giving a piece of land will also do.” Mo Yuqi smiled slightly.
“Land, huh? That can be done!” The bookmaker visibly relaxed, their village lacked many things, but land was not one of them.
The stakes raised by Mo Yuqi made the other village chiefs grim-faced. One person might be foolish, but how could two be foolish at the sa ti?
Moreover, that white-haired woman was so beautiful, her eyes sparking with shrewdness, how could she be foolish? What exactly was going on?
With two large bets placed, Little Song’s odds were instantly slashed to 0.1, and the other chiefs had no chance to get their bets in even if they wanted to take advantage of the situation.
“There are two minutes left until the start of the competition. Any more bets? If there are no more bets, I’m going to close the betting now!”
After asking twice and receiving no responses, the bookmaker decisively closed the betting.
The appointed referee was the old Village Chief of Wumu Village, who spoke solemnly, “Since Tanmu Village’s Guardian Beast is this little squirrel, let’s start the battle of the Guardian Beasts! Please welco the two Guardian Beasts to the stage!”
With a whoosh, all eyes turned to Little Song, wondering whether the squirrel would be killed with a single bite by the White Wolf.
“Guardian Beast Little Song, please.” Sangba took a deep breath, gently placed Little Song into the Beast Fighting Arena, then quickly ran up to the high platform to avoid accidentally getting injured by the White Wolf.
