Chapter 733: The Beast-Fighting Arena

Seeing these bored wealthy men all crowding around and screaming for it.

Pei Qianyun laughed heartily and waved his hand, and immediately several fully armed Liangzhou soldiers, after a great deal of effort, separated the tiger and wolves that were in the midst of a fierce struggle.

At this, the others would not have it and began to shout one after another.

"What are you doing!"

"Let them keep fighting!"

"It was just getting good, really..."

The tiger and the few wolves that had been pulled apart were also clearly ferocious and terrifying, wanting to continue the fight.

These wealthy men had never seen such a bloody scene, especially in such a boring situation, and one by one they became excited, waving their arms.

Pei Qianyun laughed heartily and looked around: "Gentlemen, gentlemen, wealthy bosses, don't be impatient, don't be impatient! We will let them fight again! But..."

He left them in suspense.

Immediately someone roared: "Hahahaha, do you want silver? Come, come, come, say how much, I, your grandfather, will pay!"

Others also chimed in one after another.

In such a tedious situation, with such a stimulating spectacle being staged, what was there to fear about spending a little silver?

Pei Qianyun chuckled and shook his head: "No, no, no, that's not how we play... As for tickets, we don't need them!"

"Then what are you dawdling for?"

"Exactly, hurry up!"

Pei Qianyun continued: "Tickets are not needed, but you can place bets..."

At this, everyone finally understood. Place bets? So this Pei Qianyun wanted to set up a beast-fighting casino?

Pei Qianyun pointed at the tiger and the pack of wolves and said: "Gentlemen, will the tiger win, or will the wolves win? The odds are over there, everyone can place your bets! No matter the amount of the stake, we will accept it!"

Everyone understood this way of playing.

"Good, good, good, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"How could a tiger not beat wolves? I bet on the tiger to win!"

"Me too!"

"No, no, no, Viscount Wang, you are thinking about this wrong! Though the wolves are small, they go in packs! A pack of wolves will definitely defeat a single tiger!"

The people at the scene were all talking at once, arguing until their faces were red.

Pei Qianyun and Ji Yong exchanged a glance.

Their eyes were full of smiles.

This was the effect they wanted!

"Gentlemen, gentlemen..."

Pei Qianyun continued: "But this time, we are not just simply placing bets..."

"Ah?"

"What other way is there to play?"

"Why make it so complicated?"

The group of people began to get curious again.

Ji Yong spoke up at this moment: "It's very simple. Besides being able to place bets, we can also use money to buy these fighting beasts! To use them to gamble against others! Afterward, this beast will be registered under your name, and we will only charge for the purchase and feeding costs!"

Boom!

The whole place exploded upon hearing this. There was such a way to play? Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Adopting a beast?

This had almost never been heard of in the Longyan Dynasty!

Looking at that majestic tiger, looking at that lynx with its eerie eyes, looking at that incredibly violent wild boar, every single person felt their blood boiling. Who wouldn't want to adopt such a beast? It was likely that as long as they were men, they would all have such a dream! To adopt them, and then let them fight for themselves!

If this matter were to spread back to Longyan, how much face would that bring?

They know how to play!

This Pei Qianyun really knows how to play!

"Good! I'll buy this tiger, and I'll name him Overlord!"

A wealthy merchant stood out and laughed arrogantly.

When the others saw this, they began to discuss it among themselves.

This person was the number one wealthy man in Hanzhong, a member of the Xiang family, and the younger brother of Xiang Chenglin who was in the Western Regions—Xiang Chengfeng!

The strength of the Xiang family was among the best in the Chamber of Commerce that followed the Vice Minister to Liaodong this time.

As soon as he made his move, it made many people sigh in admiration.

"Hmph, Overlord? Such a tacky name! I want this tiger, and I'll name him Mighty Dragon!"

The whole place was in an uproar.

Everyone looked over, and the person who came out was a relatively thin wealthy man. When they saw this person, everyone's expression changed. This person was from the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and he was equally powerful.

Sensing the provocation from others, Xiang Chengfeng smiled coldly: "How much silver does Lao Zhang intend to offer?"

That Lao Zhang laughed: "One thousand taels of silver!"

One thousand taels!

This price was already not low! Many people looked on with envy.

Who would have thought that Xiang Chengfeng would give a mocking laugh: "My Overlord, you want to buy him for one thousand taels? You're thinking too much, aren't you? Two thousand taels!"

The whole place roared again.

Lao Zhang was furious: "Three thousand taels!"

"Four thousand taels!"

"Five thousand taels!"

Pei Qianyun was stunned silly.

This single tiger, worth so much money? He truly had not expected this, and furthermore, this tiger had been caught without costing a single cent! Did these wealthy men truly not treat money as money? He had made a killing! He was going to get rich!

"Six thousand taels!"

"Eight thousand taels!"

The two men's bidding finally stopped at eight thousand taels!

That Lao Zhang had won!

Eight thousand taels!

Everyone was shocked.

However, what they did not expect was that this was only just the beginning... this myth of creating wealth had not yet truly unfolded.

Having been beaten by this Lao Zhang, Xiang Chengfeng was clearly somewhat unable to swallow his anger, and in one breath, he spent three thousand taels to buy that Wolf Pack! This made quite a few people laugh out loud, all feeling that this Xiang Chengfeng had lost face and was finally trying to find a Method to make up for it.

Everyone knew.

This tiger was the king of the mountains; how could it possibly lose to a pack of wolves?

"The two of you, do you need to place a wager?"

Pei Qianyun smiled again and asked.

It was still possible to place a wager?

Xiang Chengfeng had actually regretted not securing his "Overlord" just now. The matter of money was small, but face was a big matter! Hearing that he could still place a wager, and with the people at the scene all watching him with schadenfreude, he suddenly felt his blood boil and roared: "Of course I want to bet! I bet ten thousand taels that my Wolf Pack wins!"

The entire venue was shocked once again.

Ten thousand taels?

"What, do you dare or not?"

Xiang Chengfeng looked at Lao Zhang provocatively.

Lao Zhang was already laughing so hard he was rolling on the floor: "Hahahaha, you're killing me, Old Xiang, aren't you just rushing to give me money? Fine, ten thousand taels, it's a bet!"

The atmosphere of the entire venue was ignited once again.

Everyone followed suit and placed their bets.

Since it was a bet, the stake had to be put down first; very quickly, gold, silver, and Silver Note were all thrown over. Pei Qianyun and Ji Yong's eyes turned red. Lao Zhang and Xiang Chengfeng alone had thrown twenty thousand taels of silver into the pot!

In a short amount of time.

The stakes alone had reached two hundred thousand!

As for the odds and such, they still had specialized personnel responsible for calculating them... After a quick tally, no matter the result, they could net a profit of one hundred thousand taels!

They were rich!

This time they were truly rich!

Everyone was shouting, waiting for the beasts in the arena to fight.

Very quickly, the other beasts were dragged away, leaving only that tiger and the Wolf Pack.

Everyone held their breath.

Who would win, and who would lose?
