Chapter 183: They Have Arrived
The Colosseum.
Because the audience was too excited, they arrived too early. Conversely, the parties participating in the Gambling Battle, the people from the Scorpion Society and the Qibao Association, were the last to arrive.
The audience had already waited for an hour, and seeing that the people from the Scorpion Society and the Qibao Association had yet to appear, they gradually grew restless.
"Where are they? Why haven't the people from the Scorpion Society and the Qibao Association arrived yet?"
"We came too early, don't be anxious. By the way, do you think the Qibao Association can win?"
"Of course that's impossible. The Qibao Association is an emerging force from Shanghai; it's impossible for them to win. To be honest, I don't have any expectations for the result of the Gambling Battle at all; I just feel that the Jinling underworld hasn't had a Gambling Battle in a long time, so I came to join in the fun."
"I don't think so. The fact that the Qibao Association dared to smash the Red Leaf Club shows they still have some ability. And since they dared to accept the Gambling Battle, they must have made preparations."
"Impossible! Many forces have challenged the Scorpion Society before, and what was the result? Those that weren't finished were forced to leave. If you ask me, the result of this matter will definitely be the same. Let's just join in the fun, place a bet while we're at it, and earn some pocket money."
"Speaking of which, the odds on the forum have now risen to fifteen to one. How much are you betting?"
"With odds like these, it's a sure win with no risk—just bet whatever!"
"Don't say that, I see there are still some people betting on the Qibao Association."
"What? Are these people crazy? The Qibao Association can't possibly win; betting on them will just lead to losing everything!"
"I feel like it must be the people from the Qibao Association betting on themselves; otherwise, no one would bet on them to win, and that wouldn't look good."
"Makes sense, hahaha..."
Most of the audience believed the Qibao Association was bound to lose, and they all came to watch the battle with the mentality of spectators.
Huang Feng and Ma Ziai sat in the middle of the spectator stands, listening to the discussions of the crowd around them, with smug smiles appearing on their faces.
"It looks like the Qibao Association is bound to lose today!"
Ma Ziai suddenly remembered something, her expression worried, and she asked Huang Feng beside her, "But Chen Che is a Martial Artist and can kill a Grandmaster; is there really no problem?"
Huang Feng waved his hand dismissively and said, "Bai Fengye isn't a fool; he will definitely think of that. Besides, ever since the Gambling Battle was founded, there has never been a time when a simple one-on-one decided the outcome."
"Chen Che just arrived and doesn't understand the tricks involved. Bai Fengye isn't the type to act upright either; he must have already figured out how to humiliate and torture Chen Che, so don't worry."
"That's good!"
Ma Ziai's brow smoothed out, "Once Chen Che is dead, I'll go find that bitch Ma Menghan, disgust her properly, and make her wish she were dead!"
At this moment, the image of Ma Menghan appeared in Huang Feng's mind; although he had never seen her in person, he had seen a Photograph, and she was a stunner.
He pinched his chin, pondering that once Chen Che was dead, he must first taste Ma Menghan's flavor before handing her over to Huang Zhu to deal with.
Just as Huang Feng was immersed in his fantasies, Ma Ziai suddenly nudged him.
Huang Feng turned his head in confusion and discovered that Ma Ziai had put on a mask.
Ma Ziai covered her face and gestured with her chin toward the entrance of the Colosseum. Huang Feng followed her gaze and saw Ma Zijun pushing Ma Menghan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, with Lin Su following behind, walking in.
Because the front seats of the spectator stands were all occupied, the three of them had to walk further up and sit in a position far from the central arena.
"We arrived late, but sitting here is fine too; the big screen is still visible."
Ma Zijun positioned Ma Menghan facing the big screen and sat in the seat beside her; Lin Su also sat down next to Ma Zijun.
"This is just fine."
Ma Menghan looked around, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Wait a little while; it should take a bit longer for Chen Che to arrive."
Ma Zijun said, seeing Ma Menghan's gaze searching.
"He has been staying at the hospital to accompany me these past few days, but he actually didn't tell me such a big thing happened. If it weren't for you, Big Brother, I wouldn't even know."
Ma Menghan's face flushed slightly, showing worry, "Big Brother, do you think Chen Che didn't tell me because he didn't want me to worry? Is there danger in today's Gambling Battle?"
Ma Zijun laughed: "I guess he didn't tell you because he wanted you to recover in peace. As for danger... when has Chen Che ever feared danger? Besides, this doesn't count as a big deal for him; he'll solve it easily."
Ma Menghan nodded, feeling much more at ease.
Huang Feng looked at the smiling Ma Zijun and Ma Menghan and snorted coldly: "That animal Ma Zijun, for the sake of a bastard, actually dares to defy my aunt, his own biological mother!"
"It's not just Ma Menghan; this cousin of mine is also very good to Chen Che, even having a fan-like admiration for him. It's truly incomprehensible!"
Ma Ziai snorted, recalling Ma Zijun's actions, and felt it was extremely absurd.
"Idiot!"
Huang Feng said in a low voice.
Ma Ziai took out her phone, opened the forum, and said: "Ma Zijun really did place a bet, and he bet on the Qibao Association to win! It seems he really trusts Chen Che, and he didn't even bet anonymously. This is clearly telling others that he supports Chen Che!"
"The odds have now risen to twenty to one; let's bet a little too, and win back Ma Zijun's share!"
Huang Feng smiled sinisterly, took out his phone, and began operating it.
Ma Ziai, however, looked up at this moment and said: "They're here!"
"Awoo!!!!"
As soon as the words fell, a heaven-shaking cheer erupted from the spectator stands!
At the entrance of the Colosseum, Bai Fengye led his people in, walking with an arrogant swagger, and waved confidently at the spectator stands.
"Bai Shao is still so handsome!"
"Bai Shao is mighty! Teach that bunch of ignorant bastards from the Qibao Association a lesson today!"
"Beat them until they go home to find their mothers!!"
In the spectator stands, besides the people there to watch the fun, there were even more representatives of underworld forces who had defected to Bai Xiangjin and his son, Bai Fengye.
Seeing Bai Fengye enter at this moment, the applause and cheers were deafening; the display was very impressive!
Amidst the cheers, Bai Fengye led his people to sit in the seats near the arena.
Subsequently, Shen Qi led the members of the Qibao Association into the Colosseum as well.
However, their treatment was the exact opposite of when Bai Fengye entered.
"Grandsons of the Qibao Association, kneel and beg for mercy!"
"You little brats, today is your death day! If you don't want to die, kneel down now, admit your mistake, and call us Granddaddy!"
"Sons of the Qibao Association, your daddy just finished planting seeds in your mother, hurry home and suckle! Hahahaha..."
The lackeys of Bai Fengye exerted themselves once more, shouting and hurling insults at the members of the Qibao Association.
If not for the personnel from the Justice Patrol Division maintaining order, they would have even started throwing things, spitting, and urinating down below.
"Are you bastards looking to die?"
"If you've got guts, come down here and see who beats whom until they run home to their mommy?!"
………
Including Shen Qi, everyone from the Qibao Association was red-faced, pointing at the lackeys shouting from the spectator stands and cursing back.
Bai Fengye and the underlings behind him all watched this scene with smug and gloating expressions.
It felt just like a master setting his own dog to bite a fool who didn't know any better, while that fool lay on the ground biting back at the dog.
The real battle hadn't even begun, but the war of words between the two sides had already given the gossiping spectators a thrill.
And just as the war of words was taking place in the Colosseum, Chen Che was outside the Colosseum, not in a hurry to go in.
Because he saw a familiar figure.
Chen Che tiptoed toward a military transport vehicle of the Justice Patrol Division.
Tang Ying's face was pressed against the window, her mouth wide open, sleeping soundly without a shred of ladylike decorum.
Her face was pressed flat against the glass, her nose squashed into a pig's snout, and drool flowed from the corner of her mouth, leaving a sticky trail on the glass.
The radio on the vehicle's console was calling out over and over, but this young lady was sleeping too soundly and never heard it.
Chen Che chuckled, took out his phone to snap a picture of this rare moment, and then knocked on the glass.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
Tang Ying furrowed her brows, smacked her lips, and slowly opened her eyes, dazed.
When a handsome face with a half-smile came into view, Tang Ying's eyes suddenly widened!
