550: Chapter 545 Eyesight as Bright as Torches!
“Thank you, sir, this time, let me serve you!”
With those words, Jenny had someone bring some red wine, namely Lafite with a high vintage, the crème de la crème of red wines.
Moreover, because of the distinguished identity of the guest, Ye Tian, the red wine was supplied for free.
While accompanying Ye Tian in drinking the red wine, Jenny introduced the two contestants on the stage.
“Sir, the two contestants, one is a Mongolian wrestler, and the other is from Japan, using Aikido.
One has immense strength while the other possesses formidable Inner Strength.
What do you think, which side shall we bet on?”
“Hmm, let me take a look!”
Ye Tian scrutinized the two fighters on stage who were already battling fiercely.
In the Underground Black Fist market, betting was still allowed as long as neither side showed signs of defeat.
The wrestler’s strength was enormous; every movement on the stage resulted in a whooshing sound.
Nevertheless, the Aikido master was no pushover, nimble and measured in his advance and retreat, never getting caught by the wrestler.
While dodging, the Aikido master timed his counterattacks, which were also sturdy and powerful, revealing the depth of his Inner Strength.
Jenny suggested, “Sir, if it were me, I’d bet on the Japanese guy.
An expert who fights with ‘bear paws’ cannot match internal kung fu, although the Mongolian has been on the offensive, he’ll surely grow weary eventually, leaving an opportunity for the Japanese.”
But Ye Tian shook his head, saying, “I don’t think so!
The Aikido master from Japan does possess some Inner Strength, but it’s far from being powerful.
On the other hand, that Mongolian’s attacks are well-measured, and he’s intentionally conserving his strength.
If they continue this fight, the Mongolian should be the victor.”
Jenny was momentarily taken aback by Ye Tian’s words.
“You think the Mongolian is holding back?
That’s impossible!”
From any angle, it seemed the Mongolian was giving his all, but Ye Tian claimed he still had reserved strength, which was hard for Jenny to believe.
Having spent many years in this Underground Black Fist Casino, Jenny had developed a sharp eye for gauging people; she was never wrong, and naturally, she didn’t agree with Ye Tian.
Seeing Jenny’s expression, Ye Tian smiled and said, “I won’t bet on this match.
Jenny, how about we have a wager instead?”
“A wager between us two?”
Jenny looked at Ye Tian incredulously, not understanding the meaning of his words.
“Yes, a wager just between us!
You bet on the Japanese, and I’ll bet on the Mongolian!
If you win, you can take half the money from the briefcase.
If I win, I’ll take half of your person!”
“Half of my person?”
Ye Tian’s words left Jenny breaking out in a cold sweat.
Was he suggesting to split her in half?
“Don’t worry, I won’t dissect you!”
Ye Tian said with a laugh, and only then did Jenny relax.
“Alright!
I accept your bet!”
Jenny said, gritting her teeth.
On one hand, she didn’t believe she could lose.
On the other hand, the stakes that Ye Tian offered were simply too tempting – half of 10 million Rubles was 5 million, enough to ensure a life of luxury for the rest of her days.
“Let’s see then!”
The agreement between them reached, their focus returned to the stage.
The bout between the Mongolian wrestler and the Aikido master was heating up, and beads of sweat covered their foreheads.
The wrestler charged at the Aikido master with ferocity, his hands like clamps, viciously reaching for the Aikido master’s gi.
The Aikido master suddenly ducked low, slipping through the wrestler’s legs like an eel.
The agility of the maneuver drew loud cheers from the audience!
“Hey!”
Watching the Aikido master’s performance, Jenny’s lips curled up in a quirk.
How could this skilled Japanese man possibly lose to a simple-minded brute?
Although the wrestler’s attack failed, he wasn’t discouraged but continued to drive the Aikido master into a corner of the ring, his goal still to catch the Aikido master.
Once caught, the wrestler was confident he could overpower his opponent with his strength!
However, the Aikido master was exceptionally agile and the wrestler couldn’t lay a hand on him.
Before he knew it, the wrestler was gasping for breath and started moving sluggishly.
Seizing the opportunity, the Aikido master swiftly closed the distance and threw a heavy punch.
“Bang!”
With all his might behind it, the punch held deadly force.
The wrestler took the blow and dropped unconscious to the floor…
The audience rose to their feet, excited, filling the venue with thunderous applause.
A smile appeared on Jenny’s face as she said to Ye Tian, “Sir, it looks like half of your money is mine this time!”
Yet Ye Tian remained exceptionally composed, replying, “The count isn’t over yet, don’t rush!”
As he spoke, Ye Tian’s eyes continued blazing focusedly on the ring, where the referee had already entered to start the count.
That was the rule in bare-knuckle boxing: even if knocked out or killed, if one falls to the ring floor, they must be counted down.
If they still can’t stand up after a count to ten, the opponent is declared the winner.
“Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three…”
The referee counted aloud, but the attention of the audience was no longer on the ring.
Every spectator was cheering, eagerly anticipating the start of the next match.
“Two, one…”
The referee counted two more numbers, and the count was about to end, but an astonishing scene occurred in the ring.
The wrestler suddenly opened his eyes, spun his body violently, and lunged at the Aikido expert.
The Aikido expert was momentarily stunned.
Wasn’t his opponent knocked out by him?
Why could he still counterattack?
Seizing the moment of the Aikido expert’s astonishment, the wrestler finally managed to grab his opponent!
However, even though the wrestler came at him with ferocity, the Aikido expert was not intimidated, for from the previous exchanges, he held an absolute advantage!
“Don’t think you can beat me!”
The Aikido expert shouted loudly, threw a punch, channeling all his strength, and bombed towards the wrestler’s stomach.
“Bang!”
Another loud noise echoed.
The Aikido expert was sure this punch would defeat his opponent, but unexpectedly, the wrestler’s abdomen seemed as hard as a slab of iron.
With all his might behind the punch, the wrestler remained unshaken…
The Aikido expert was utterly amazed.
Until now, the wrestler had not shown such formidable defensive power.
Could it be that he had not been using his full strength just before?
However, the wrestler did not give the Aikido expert a chance to continue his attack, as his head violently collided with the other’s.
With a “thud,” the heads of the two experts clashed.
The wrestler’s body was like steel, and in contrast, the head of the Aikido expert was extremely fragile.
After being struck by the wrestler, blood gushed out, and he fainted.
“Wow~~~~~~~~”
The venue erupted in boos, the audience never expected the match to end this way.
The Mongolian wrestler had been feigning weakness all along and took the opportunity to counterattack when his opponent was off guard.
It was evident that this Martial Artist, despite his large size, had a rather nimble mind.
After the referee finished the count, the victory was declared for the wrestler!
In the luxurious private box, Ye Tian’s expression was calm as he slowly savored the red wine in his glass.
But Jenny was anything but composed!
However, a bet was a bet, and now that the wrestler had won, Jenny had to honor her wager.
“Sir, you’re amazing!
I didn’t expect you to be right.
The wrestler is indeed formidable and has been hiding his strength!
I lost this time.
What do you want?
Just say it outright!”
Jenny said generously, not knowing what Ye Tian meant by “half.”
“Heh heh!
Such politeness!”
Ye Tian smiled and looked at Jenny, his eyes roving up and down.
Jenny was already dressed scantily and felt something amiss under Ye Tian’s gaze, but as the social butterfly of the Underground Black Fist Casino, she did not have the modesty of an ordinary woman.
So, Jenny tentatively asked, “Sir, when you say you want half of me, you don’t mean that, do you?”
“Quite perceptive!”
Ye Tian passed the wine glass to Jenny.
“Body or soul, choose one to give to me!”
Upon hearing this, Jenny wound around Ye Tian like a black Mamba, coyly saying, “Oh, you’re naughty.
Whether it’s my body or soul, they’re all yours, sir!”
This woman was so forward, Ye Tian simply smiled.
But at this moment, Ye Tian’s thoughts weren’t on Jenny’s voluptuous body; he gently pushed her away.
“Jenny, I am a gentleman, after all.
Keep your body for now; give me your heart instead!”
“You want my heart?”
Jenny was taken aback by Ye Tian’s words.
How exactly could she give her heart to someone else?
“Yes.”
Ye Tian nodded, his demeanor somewhat cold.
“But not now, it will be in the near future, and it won’t just be for show; you will give me your whole heart!”
“…”
Jenny was puzzled and wanted to ask Ye Tian more, but he stopped talking and instead focused on the ring.
Following the battle between the Mongolian wrestler and the Japanese Aikido expert, two more players took their positions on the ring.
The audience boiled with excitement, each placing their bets.
Jenny went straight to the point, “Sir, I lost just now, but that was between the two of us.
Since you’re here, naturally, you’ll want to bet.
With your keen insight, sir, you’re bound to win big this time!”
As she spoke, Jenny began to introduce the two new experts on the stage to Ye Tian.
The two experts, one from India, practiced the Indian Soft Fist, his body flexible as if boneless.
The other was the exact opposite, a local powerhouse from Russia, large and burly, with a stature like that of a tiger or a bear.
