Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 600 - Placing a Bet I
When Lin Ming's group arrived, many guests stood up, enthusiastically greeting him.
Lin Ming then smiled, cupping his fists to return everyone's greetings before Goddess servant Hao Shie escorted their group to the seat reserved for him.
Lin Ming then sat down while Dong Fang, Bai Yunfei, Huan Rong, and Zhang En stood behind him. In the banquet, only Gold God Experts upwards were qualified to obtain a seat.
Just as Lin Ming was seated, a faint voice sounded, “Lin Ming, based on the strength of your disciples, how thick would their faces be to come and participate in this banquet? Aren't you afraid that you will be humiliated by them?”
Zhang En tilted his head slightly towards the source of the sound.
It turned out that the person who spoke was the Heavenly Dragon Sect Master Long Qin. Zhang En had met Long Qin at Xin World while defeating Ming Zhi at the Alchemist Grandmaster competition.
Coincidentally or not, Long Qin's chair was beside Lin Ming's chair. Long Qin's voice was loud enough to attract the attention of the surrounding guests.
Lin Ming's face darkened hearing this, replying, "Long Qin, do you really think Goddess Hao Shie will choose her heir from your sect?"
Long Qin then laughed proudly, confidently, "Hahaha! In terms of strength, our sect has better chances than your sect."
The bold words of Long Qin drew whispers and a low but angry voice from the nearby guests. The few Patriarchs and Patriarchs who had good relations with Lin Ming frowned at Long Qin's arrogant words.
Although they did not like Long Qin's arrogant and proud demeanor, in terms of strength, the, they could not deny that Yu Cang from and the others from the Heavenly Dragon Sect were indeed stronger than Dong Fang, Zhang En and the other two.
Hence, no one dared to say anything to reproach.
Lin Ming then let out a cold snort, answering "Let's wait and see the results."
Long Qin then let out another mocking laugh, “Lin Ming, how about we make a small bet? If the heir to be chosen by Goddess Hao Shie comes from my sect, you will give me a hundred billion, if the chosen one comes from your sect, then I will give you a hundred billion as a bet.”
^-^
"Why? You don't have the guts to bet?” Seeing Lin Ming remain silent, Long Qin sneered with a mocking laugh, “Or, as the Spirit Fire Sect Master, you are unable to issue a hundred billion bet? Please, don't tell me you're poor!”
Lin Ming's face was darker, "What if the disciple chosen by Goddess Hao Shie is not from one of our sects?"
“If that's the case, then our bet is off.” Long Qin paused for a moment before replying.
"Alright, I'll bet a hundred billion with you!" An unyielding light shone in Lin Ming's eyes, agreeing with a serious voice.
"A verbal promise is not a guarantee, I ask everyone present here to testify, both sides will now issue a hundred billion bet." Seeing Lin Ming agree, Long Qin laughed happily, a cunning light shining in his eyes as if his plan had worked.
With a wave of his hand, a spatial ring floated to the table in front of him. The barrier on the spatial ring had already been opened, so everyone present could see many dragon coins stacked high like mountains inside. Dragon coins were the currency that existed in the Sky Dragon Galaxy.just like the currency in the Star Galaxy, it had the currency of star coins. As well as other galaxies, they own their own currencies.
It seemed like Long Qin had prepared himself well before.
From all directions, spirit senses swept across that spatial ring. Inside were exactly a hundred billion.
Lin Ming's facial expression turned grim. Even though he could spend a hundred billion, who would actually bring so much money to it at any moment?
“Haha, Lin Ming, you don't plan to agree to a bet based solely on empty words, do you?” Long Qin Yi sneered.
At this moment, Zhang En spoke up nonchalantly, “Our teacher is thinking that the hundred billion bet is too small, therefore he wants to change the bet amount to one trillion. It's just that our Master isn't sure if Master Long Qin can issue that much amount of a bet.!"
The surrounding guests almost choked on their own saliva hearing the words and the amount of the bet Zhang En said. Including Long Qin. Just like everyone else, his gaze was fixed on Zhang En right now.
A short while later, Long Qin then glared at Zhang En even as he laughed even bigger, “Fucking boy, are you sure that you can take out as much as a trillion bets? As long as you can show it now, I will bet a trillion with you! But, if you can't put out a bet with that amount, then, hehe ..." Long Qin's eyes turned sharp, "I'll teach you how to speak manners on behalf of your Master!"
Hearing this, Zhang En sneered inwardly, "Now you're in an old man's betmen trap! Hehe! Besides, I will kill that proud Yu Cang in front of you, above the battle arena!"
This time, Zhang En did not want his prey to place a small bet, he wanted to bet a large sum. Moreover, he had already decided to kill Yu Cang who also looked as arrogant as Long Qin.
