Chapter 17 The South China Tiger That Bit the Beauty's Throat

He had won 4.86 million in one go!

For Ying Yue, that was definitely a huge amount of money.

But, there were others who had won more!

"Sister, you won 30 million in just one go, I'm so envious!"

Yunyang looked at his sister with envy, his eyes gleaming. 30 million in one go, that money came way too easily.

"Who told you not to listen to me?"

Zhao Huahua's face showed pleasure, but she scolded him, "I told you earlier to follow the 'pervert' and bet, but you just wouldn't listen. Regretting it now, aren't you?"

"Regretting! Deeply regretting to the point my intestines are turning blue!"

Yunyang was very annoyed, "Looking across the entire arena, probably only the three of you and Old Three Ding won money; everyone else lost. Sigh, four people splitting the money from so many people, that's a big win!"

At that moment, Old Three Ding came over again, looking proudly at Yunyang, "Young Master Zhao, wasn't I right? You were bound to lose this round!"

"I only lost 200,000, it's nothing!"

Seeing Old Three Ding's proud face, Yunyang scoffed coldly, somewhat disgusted.

"200,000 isn't much, but do you know how much I won?"

Mr. Ding smiled triumphantly, glancing meaningfully at Ying Yue, a spark gleaming in his eyes as he laughed loudly, "24 million, haha, I won a whole 24 million, enough for me to play for quite some days!"

"Humph, don't be so proud, your time to lose is coming!"

Yunyang's face looked ugly, as if he had swallowed a fly.

"Young Master Zhao, look at you, losing two rounds in a row, you might as well go home and drink milk, hahaha. If you keep losing and even lose your family's pharmaceutical factory, that would be bad, hahaha!"

Old Three Ding taunted a few more words, then left, full of pride.

"Bastard! I am so pissed!"

Yunyang looked very upset and cursed a couple of times, then glanced at Ying Yue, and decided in his heart that in the next round, regardless of what Ying Yue bet on, he would definitely follow.

This guy was too uncanny!

If he hadn't known that fraud was impossible in this kind of gambling, he would have suspected that Ying Yue was a master of cheating, very uncanny indeed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as we know, the tiger is a highly efficient and focused hunting machine; it can swiftly and decisively attack its prey. On the other hand, the brown bear is an opportunist, using its strength and stamina to seize the prey right before its eyes!"

The host's voice resonated, "So, between the tiger and the brown bear, facing each other on a narrow path, which one is more formidable? Now, let us welcome the next two contestants with warm applause!"

"Blue side, South China Tiger!"

"Red side, Brown Bear!"

The host's voice swept away the dissatisfaction in the arena, as people got excited again, craning their necks towards the doors on both sides of the Beast Fighting Arena, eagerly waiting.

"Damn, a tiger fighting a brown bear?"

"Mom's spaghetti, coming today was so worth it!"

"These two big guys clashing, it's truly a visual feast, just thinking about it gets me excited!"

Gao Xiaoguang's eyes gleamed with excitement, but more than the coming visual feast, he cared about how much money he could win, "Old Ying, what do we bet on, what do we bet on this round? I can't wait anymore!"

Zhao Huahua and Yunyang both looked over.

"Hehe!"

Ying Yue glanced at the three of them, then swept his gaze towards Old Three Ding, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, "Bring your ears closer, because walls have ears!"

Hearing this, Yunyang seemed to understand something and looked towards Old Three Ding. Seeing him pricking up his ears and eavesdropping on their conversation, Yunyang felt furious.

So it was Old Three Ding! So he eavesdropped on our conversation last round and that's how he won, damn it, this is infuriating!

At the same time, Yunyang also noticed that not only Old Three Ding but many wealthy young ladies sitting around them were also quietly listening in, all wanting to know what Ying Yue would bet on this round.

Damn these bastards!

Yunyang cursed incessantly in his heart.

But, he couldn't blame them; the noise from their side was too loud!

Gao Xiaoguang, having won money, was shouting excitedly—people far away couldn't hear, but those nearby could hear very clearly.

Winning two rounds in a row?

Even winning the previous round!

Simply amazing!

With this, how could others not eavesdrop?

Realizing all this, Yunyang felt both angry and amused; everyone was so cunning, only he was naive, despite his sister's warnings…

"This round, we'll bet on…"

Ying Yue quietly pressed a number on the betting device, then placed the money.

The three of them nodded at the gesture, then each discreetly placed their bets.

"Old Ying, you must win this round; I've bet all the 900,000 I just won, a total of 915,000!"

Gao Xiaoguang trembled as he pressed the betting device, "This is all my money; if I lose, I'm doomed!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you lose money!"

Ying Yue smiled, then glanced at Yunyang and Zhao Huahua's bets, feeling speechless.

Yunyang had bet 15 million in one go!

Zhao Huahua was even more ruthless, directly betting 45 million!

"Can you siblings show some shame? Betting so much at once, are you even letting us win money?" Ying Yue chided them, these siblings were too hateful.

"Heh, we've been losing for a while, so..."

Yunyang scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed; the more they bet, the more they would eventually split, leaving less for Ying Yue.

"Little brother, never mind him, if he has the ability he can also bet that much!"

Zhao Huahua showed no embarrassment, instead snorting proudly.

"Just this once, never again!"

Ying Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of displeasure flashing through them, "In the next betting round, the stakes you place cannot exceed one million!"

Zhao Yang readily agreed, but Zhao Huahua was dissatisfied, "Why should we? Why should we listen to you?"

"You don't agree?" Ying Yue asked coldly, "Then in the next betting round, bet on your own, stop following my bets!"

"..."

Zhao Huahua was left speechless!

"This young man!"

At this moment, seeing that Ying Yue and his group had quietly placed their bets, the surrounding wealthy young ladies couldn't sit still anymore and started gathering around.

Among them, Old Three Ding was the most enthusiastic. He walked up to Ying Yue, took out a box of cigars, and tried to ingratiate himself, "It's your first time here, huh? My name is Ding Yixi, let's be friends!"

His face bore an enthusiastic smile, and he casually placed his hand on Ying Yue's shoulder, appearing very friendly. Those who didn't know them would think they were old friends.

"Be friends? Who wants to be friends with you!"

Ying Yue swatted his hand away disdainfully, slapped his own shoulder, and said indifferently, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to; you're not getting anything from me!"

This comment caused a round of murmurs from the people around.

Although what he said was true, there was no need to say it so bluntly, right? Saying it like that was just slapping Old Three Ding's face...

Sure enough, Old Three Ding's face darkened, and he forced a smile, "What are you saying, brother? Mr. Ding here just wants to make a friend, nothing more. How may I address you, brother?" he asked, stretching out his hand for a handshake.

Ying Yue glanced at him, "You're blocking my view!"

Old Three Ding's hand hovered in mid-air, his face turning alternately pale and flush, his gaze cold as he stared at Ying Yue for a long while before saying, "Alright, alright! There aren't many in Yunyang who would refuse to give Mr. Ding face; you're the first. I'll remember this!"

Ying Yue smiled slightly, not taking Old Three Ding's words seriously, his eyes returning to the Beast Fighting Arena as the duel between the South China Tiger and the brown bear had begun.

"Brother Ying, you've already offended Old Three Ding!"

Zhao Yang reminded him kindly.

"So what?"

Ying Yue scoffed, obviously not concerned.

"Alright then, you're tough!"

Zhao Yang gave a thumbs-up, feeling speechless inside, truly a man who fears nothing.

"Roar~~"

As the king of the forest, the South China Tiger dared to hunt any opponent that entered its territory. The tiger before them was already ravenous.

So, upon seeing the brown bear, it didn't hesitate to pounce, its claws flashing out like blades instantly, slashing across the brown bear's chest.

With a "pu-chi" sound, it left five deep wounds, blood spurting wildly, but the severe pain also enraged the brown bear, which roared and stood upright, swinging its paw down heavily.

The blow landed on the South China Tiger's rear, causing the tiger to stagger and be sent flying, the brown bear relentlessly pursued, stepping forward and ferociously pouncing, its jaws snapping at the South China Tiger's rear.

However, the South China Tiger's agility was ultimately unparalleled by the brown bear, it darted out, turned around, and clawed down again...

"South China Tiger, go for it, kill the brown bear!"

"Way to go, South China Tiger, finish off the brown bear!"

"It's all riding on the South China Tiger this time, it must win!"

"..."

This was a rare ultimate showdown, with both the South China Tiger and the brown bear being powerful predators at the top of the food chain.

Their clash captivated countless eyes and driven by the money at stake, the crowd became even more frenzied.

The shouting and cheering almost overturned the entire basement's ceiling.

"Do you hear that, Old Ying!"

Gao Xiaoguang pointed to the frenzied crowd and whispered to Ying Yue, "This time, clearly more people have bet on the South China Tiger than on the brown bear!"

"Of course, tigers are feared much more than brown bears in people's hearts. It's normal for more people to bet on them!"

Ying Yue said indifferently.

"Roar——"

The battle escalated to a climactic state, with both the South China Tiger and the brown bear trading attacks. The bear's body was bloodied, wounds covering it deep to the bone.

In contrast, the South China Tiger was much better off, almost unscathed.

Seeing this, those who had bet on the South China Tiger became even more excited, screaming hoarsely as the battle continued and the bear's injuries worsened.

In the end, perhaps from too much blood loss or sheer exhaustion, the brown bear finally collapsed, eyes rolling back as if it had died.

"We won!"

"Hahaha, we won, the South China Tiger won!"

"We've won!"

The majority of the audience screamed excitedly, waving things around and shouting with joy.

"Kid, sorry, but I won this round!"

Old Three Ding came over, looking triumphant as he stared at Zhao Yang and Ying Yue, "You thought I won by eavesdropping on your conversation? Don't be too..."

Just then, the crowd suddenly gasped, drowning out Old Three Ding's next words.

They saw the South China Tiger in the center of the Beast Fighting Arena make an action that no one expected. It roared, its four paws pounding the ground, and it surged forward with tremendous force.

As it approached the wall, it suddenly leapt, soaring several meters high, its claws grabbing the wall and running up it diagonally.

Boom——

Ultimately, it even leapt onto the ten-meter-high wall, climbed onto the Viewing Platform, and rushed into the crowd.

"Ah——"

A hungry tiger entering a crowd, what kind of scene was that?

That's what it was now!!!
