552: Chapter 547: Win Streak in Betting!
Ye Tian didn’t lay all his cards on the table because he had spotted that the soft-style martial arts master had suffered internal injuries.
It was through his own clairvoyant ability and not because he detected it from the martial artist’s movements.
“Miss Jenny, when does the next match start?” Ye Tian asked again.
“In five minutes, but I can now introduce you to the martial artists in the next match.”
Jenny replied slowly, but Ye Tian added, “Miss Jenny, I have a request!”
“A request?”
Jenny, puzzled, wondered what Ye Tian was up to.
Ye Tian smiled and pointed at the frenzied gamblers outside the box, saying, “Miss Jenny, starting from the next match, I will bet all my rubles on each fight.
In return, please announce my betting situation to the audience, as well as the results of my wins and losses.”
“What does that mean?”
Jenny was taken aback.
Why did Ye Tian have such a request?
However, this was a minor task for Jenny, and even if she reported Ye Tian’s betting and results each time, with Ye Tian betting all his money every time, she feared it wouldn’t be long before he lost it all.
“No problem.”
Jenny nodded and then went to the door of the box and whispered a few words to a subordinate, who also looked surprised but still obeyed the order.
It wasn’t long before the hall’s loudspeakers announced Ye Tian’s betting and the results—
“The gentleman in the Rose Box has bet on number 16, 10 million rubles, victory!”
The audience gasped in astonishment.
Betting 10 million rubles at once was unheard of in the Underground Black Fist Casino, and moreover, he had bet on the weaker-looking Russian strongman.
Was this a wild guess, or had he really seen through to the truth?
Of course, what astonished the audience was that Ye Tian had won 10 million rubles in one go.
As the next match started, the loudspeaker once again announced Ye Tian’s betting—
“The gentleman in the Rose Box has bet on number 17, 20 million rubles!”
The audience was confounded.
Was this gentleman in the luxury box a tycoon or a fool?
Even if you are wealthy and bet big, was there a need to show off like this?
“Sir, what exactly do you mean?”
Jenny was also mystified, clueless about what Ye Tian was aiming for.
Nevertheless, she had no choice but to follow Ye Tian’s wishes.
In the ring, the two combatants this time were women.
One was from China, dressed in an elegant cheongsam, graceful as a model, hardly looking like someone skilled in martial arts.
The other was an obese lady, weighing at least 200 kilograms!
Comparing the two, anyone would think the fat lady would win.
However, this was a black market ring, and every fighter had martial arts skills, so you can’t judge winners or losers by appearances alone.
Since Ye Tian was Chinese, Jenny naturally assumed that he would bet on the cheongsam-clad woman.
To her surprise, Ye Tian bet on the fat lady to win.
This left Jenny unable to understand Ye Tian’s logic.
What criteria was Ye Tian using to place his bets?
As the match began, the two women clashed fiercely in the ring!
Although both were female, their combat strength was by no means inferior to that of male fighters, especially the cheongsam woman, who was as light as a swallow, obviously excelling in Qinggong.
The obese woman was slower and less agile than the one in the cheongsam, who landed several blows with ease!
But even though the cheongsam woman’s Qinggong was impressive, her stamina was lacking.
The obese woman had thick skin and for the moment, the cheongsam woman couldn’t get the upper hand at all.
The obese woman seized the opportunity to counterattack, each move accompanied by the whistling of wind, revealing its tremendous power!
The contrasting styles of the two fighters were well-matched, making the fight evenly matched!
The contest turned into a drawn-out battle…
After fighting for about ten minutes, the fat lady suddenly discovered the cheongsam woman’s weakness.
Every move was aimed at the cheongsam woman’s abdomen and lower body, causing her to repeatedly retreat, unable to confront it head-on.
The audience was taken aback; why had the evenly matched contest suddenly turned one-sided because the obese woman changed her attack pattern?
Jenny was also shocked as the turn of events was too abrupt for her to comprehend.
Before long, the cheongsam woman was cornered with no escape.
Clutching her abdomen, she said in a pained voice, “I’m done, I concede!”
“What!?”
The audience was shocked beyond belief.
After all, this was the Underground Black Fist Casino, where the fighting martial artists never gave up until the end, and there was no such thing as conceding a match.
The actions of the cheongsam woman left those who had bet on her greatly dissatisfied, and the crowd erupted in vehement protest.
“Die, you old hag!”
“Better to die than to concede!
That would be more straightforward!”
“This is a rigged match!
A rigged match!”
…
The audience was full of righteous indignation, but Ye Tian whispered a few words into Jenny’s ear, and her expression immediately turned to one of shock, and she relayed a sentence to her subordinates.
Her subordinate immediately went out, and before long, the following announcement was broadcast throughout the hall!
“Ladies and gentlemen, we’re terribly sorry, ‘Bear’s Paw’ failed to thoroughly investigate the condition of the contestants, and this is a lapse on ‘Bear’s Paw’s part!
In fact, contestant number 18 is pregnant, and she had to choose to admit defeat for fear of harming the fetus in her womb!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was astonished.
It turned out that the woman in the cheongsam was pregnant, which explained why a match that was evenly matched at first ended up being so one-sided.
Thus, the doubts surrounding the woman in the cheongsam were also clarified.
Surprised to be publicly revealed as pregnant, the woman in the cheongsam was taken aback.
She had always kept it well hidden and did not expect that a few rounds on the ring would expose her.
The spectators, who had been incessantly complaining just moments before, fell silent upon hearing about the woman’s pregnancy, and could only accept the outcome…
With the outcome decided, the audience looked forward to the next pair of martial artists to take the stage!
“The gentleman in the Rose Box, betting 20 million Rubles on number 17, at the end of the match, wins 20 million Rubles!”
The broadcast accurately reported Ye Tian’s bet and the outcome of his wager.
Jenny, somewhat puzzled, then asked, “Sir, how did you know contestant number 18 was pregnant?”
Ye Tian said with a smile, “After a woman gets pregnant, even the strongest will show differences in their movements.
I often keep women’s company; naturally, I understand these things quite clearly.”
When using his clairvoyant ability to examine the two female contestants, Ye Tian had already detected that the woman in the cheongsam was pregnant.
For Ye Tian, the outcome had been revealed even before the match began.
“…”
Jenny was left speechless, and Ye Tian further asked, “Miss Jenny, since the woman in the cheongsam had to admit defeat due to her pregnancy, how will the Underground Black Fist Casino handle this matter?”
Jenny sighed and said, “We are the house; contestant number 18 concealed her physical condition, which caused the match’s outcome to deviate.
She indeed should be held accountable, but since she caused an upset, the house actually made quite a bit of money.
So in terms of compensation, she won’t lose a single penny.”
“Heh, that’s good to hear!”
Ye Tian smiled contentedly, approving of the way the situation was handled.
“A woman, depending on black-fist fighting to support the fetus inside her, it’s truly not an easy thing.
The way you’re handling this is actually rather nice.”
Jenny then said, “As long as the gamblers don’t feel they’ve been cheated, it’s fine.
If they demand a rematch or the killing of contestant number 18, ‘Bear’s Paw’ can only comply with the gamblers’ wishes.”
“However, the gamblers seemed to have softened their hearts, after all, seeing the woman in the cheongsam pregnant, they couldn’t bear it.
It seems that coming here wasn’t a mistake this time.”
Ye Tian then uttered another seemingly nonsensical phrase, and Jenny couldn’t help but admire him more and more.
Who exactly was this Chinese man?
“Miss Jenny, why are you staring at me?”
Ye Tian asked with a smile.
Jenny quickly looked away.
“No, it’s nothing…”
After a while, the next match’s contestants entered the arena, two Europeans of the typical Europa race, both towering over two meters tall; one was exceptionally fat, while the other was as thin as a rail.
Ye Tian found it amusing that the Underground Black Fist Casino, ‘Bear’s Paw,’ always arranged for opponents with contrasting styles in every match, probably to make it tougher for the spectators to judge…
But even if the two martial artists had stark differences in appearance, they couldn’t escape Ye Tian’s clairvoyant ability.
With just a brief examination, he could discern the basis of the two martial artists!
“20 million on contestant number 20!”
Ye Tian revealed his judgment, and Jenny immediately placed the bet for him and had her subordinate broadcast Ye Tian’s betting situation over the loudspeakers.
“The gentleman in the Rose Box, betting 40 million Rubles on number 20!”
—The broadcast timely reported Ye Tian’s bet.
Some in the audience, who initially thought Ye Tian’s actions were a bit too ostentatious, began whispering among themselves.
“What’s up with this person?
Betting on himself, why does he need everyone to know?”
“Who knows?
Maybe it’s just a whim of the wealthy!”
“But he was right on his last bet!”
“True, I wonder if it was luck or absolute confidence.
Shall we also place a bet following him this time?”
“I think it’s worth a shot, let’s gamble a small amount and see.”
…
Among the numerous gamblers, some followed Ye Tian and placed their bets on contestant number 20.
The fight between the fat and the thin martial artists began; contestant number 19, the fat one, was like a ball of flesh with thick layers of fat, imposing tremendous pressure on the thin martial artist, contestant number 20.
Hits from the thin martial artist seemed to sink into the fat one without effect.
The fat martial artist had the upper hand, his aggressive attacks pushing the thin martial artist into a corner.
“Slap!”
The fat martial artist swung his palm and smacked it heavily onto the thin martial artist, who took a heavy hit and spat blood continuously.
However, just as the fat martial artist was feeling triumphant, the thin martial artist suddenly poked at the sole of the fat martial artist’s foot.
That one poke turned the fat martial artist limp, like air had been let out of a balloon.
