Chapter 53

This Zhang Brother, as a member of the provincial sanda team, truly lived up to his reputation. Once he stepped onto the stage, he almost swept through everyone. Those guys who usually fought and wrestled in the surrounding villages were no match for him. A single heavy kick would knock them to the ground, and in the end, almost no one dared to challenge him.

"Boring."

Zhang Brother jumped off the stage, shaking his head as he walked over.

"It's because you're too strong, Zhang Brother."

Yang Li's boyfriend, Xiao Wang, flattered him. His family had a few tens of millions of assets in Jinling, which was why he could date a girl of Yang Li's caliber. However, for someone like Zhang Brother, who was a member of the provincial sanda team, he was never short of rich second-generation friends.

After all, rich second-generation often got into trouble and needed someone to back them up. When Zhang Brother and his sanda team mates arrived, just mentioning their team's name would make the other side back down before the fight even started. After all, they were just ordinary people, how could they compare to someone who had been trained in martial arts since childhood?

Therefore, Xiao Wang was very eager to curry favor with Zhang Brother, hoping that Zhang Brother could help him back up in the future, which would make him look good in front of his friends.

This trip to Qingyang Town was also planned by Xiao Wang, who even asked his girlfriend to invite a few more pretty female companions. Unfortunately, the timing wasn't right, and only one girl came, and she was less attractive than Yang Li, so Zhang Brother wasn't very interested.

Xiao Wang was secretly worried, but then Yang Li met an acquaintance, and when she saw Ah Xiu, even he couldn't help but be moved.

This little girl was really too cute!

Sure enough, since Zhang Brother saw Ah Xiu, his eyes couldn't help but linger on her. Xiao Wang decided in his heart and smiled.

"Since there's nothing interesting here, the underground black boxing match is about to start. Let's go over there."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Fan and the others with a smile.

"Xiao Fan, you two are still young, and wandering around Qingyang Town is dangerous. Why don't you come with us? With Zhang Brother as our bodyguard, who would dare to cause trouble?"

"That's right, that's right, Xiao Fan, come with us. If I meet you here and don't take care of you, your sister will blame me," Yang Li nodded frequently.

"No need," Chen Fan frowned slightly.

He could already sense that, except for Yang Li, the others were slightly hostile towards him. This made him puzzled; why would they be hostile on their first meeting?

"Of course, you should. Didn't you see that someone's head was broken on the stage just now?" Yang Li put her hands on her hips and said with a strong presence. "You have to stay with me for the next few days, or I'll call your sister right now."

"Eh?" Chen Fan was speechless.

We've only met once, why are you being so enthusiastic?

However, her threat did have some effect. If his cousin Chen Ning knew, it would mean that his mother in Zhonghai would also know. If she found out that he had come to Dongjiang Province instead of studying, it would be troublesome.

"Alright," Chen Fan said indifferently, as he was just here to wander around and gain some experience.

The seven of them drove in two cars out of Qingyang Town.

The underground black boxing match was illegal, so it wasn't held in town but in a small village by the mountains and water.

At this time, many cars were already parked there, and most of the people who found this place were quite wealthy. By the small lake, a huge curtain had already been set up, enclosing a large area like a giant yurt, where the match was likely held.

Chen Fan and the others arrived relatively late and were immediately stopped by several black-clad men at the entrance. This kind of match wasn't something you could just walk into. The basic ticket cost 1,000 yuan per person, and only cash was accepted.

Xiao Wang paid for all seven people and even paid double to get seven seats closer to the front. As he paid, he subtly noticed Ah Xiu, and when he saw a hint of envy in her eyes, his smile became even more satisfied.

After entering the giant yurt, a wave of heat hit them.

Chen Fan looked around and saw that the place was already half full, with hundreds of people. The match hadn't started yet, and a stage performance was ongoing. The singer was a somewhat famous second-rate star, but no one was paying attention to her. They were all eagerly discussing which fighters to bet on.

Many women dressed as bunny girls, wearing revealing outfits, were walking past the guests with trays.

On these trays were betting slips. You could bet on the fighter you thought would win, and you could sign a check on the spot. The organizers weren't worried about you backing out, as this was organized by the big shots in Jiangbei. If you dared to back out, they would come to your door and take the money by force.

Chen Fan shook his head slightly at the scene.

This kind of match clearly didn't make much money from tickets and drinks; the big money was in the betting pool. Even if it couldn't compare to the tens of millions of dollars in the gambling pools on the high seas that Master Gu mentioned, the turnover here was still substantial, likely reaching nearly 100 million yuan a day.

Especially since this was just the first day, the final match on the last day would be even more extravagant. Not only would the wealthy who came for the event participate, but the big shots themselves would also join in, with their assets ranging from hundreds of millions to billions. A betting pool of several hundred million was not impossible.

"How about it? Want to play?" Xiao Wang held a betting slip and smiled at the group.

Zhang Brother quietly bet 100,000 yuan on a retired city sanda athlete. The others also bet varying amounts, and even Yang Li was led by her boyfriend to bet 10,000 yuan.

At this point, only Ah Xiu and Chen Fan hadn't bet.

When Ah Xiu saw that the minimum bet was 10,000 yuan per person, she quickly shook her head in fear.

Xiao Wang smiled. "Don't worry, if you don't have the money, Brother Xiao can lend it to you. Just pay me back when you win."

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Fan.

He knew that young people at this moment were often hot-blooded and couldn't stand to be provoked. Especially in front of their girlfriends, even if they didn't have the money, they would borrow it to bet.

However, Chen Fan remained unmoved, like an old Buddha.

Ah Xiu, on the other hand, seemed somewhat tempted. She had grown up in poverty and valued money greatly. But seeing that Chen Fan didn't move, she didn't dare to speak up and sat quietly beside him.

Xiao Wang smiled, knowing that he still needed to add a bit more pressure, but he didn't mind.

Soon, the match began. Two tall boxers stepped onto the stage, one a boxing disciple and the other a street fighter with a fierce style. Their intense fight instantly excited the audience.

The entire venue entered a frenzied state.

As the fighters took the stage and were defeated, the match gradually reached its climax. Many people even took off their outer clothes and waved them in the air. After each match, those who won were elated and generously tipped, while those who lost cursed and some were so angry that they wanted to bet all their assets.

"Another win, at least doubled this time, Zhang Brother, you're amazing."

As the fighter on the stage fell, Xiao Wang jumped up, waving his fists excitedly and looking at Zhang Brother.

Zhang Brother also smiled proudly. As an insider, he could tell who would win, so under his guidance, their chances of winning were high. After a few matches, they had earned at least tens of thousands of yuan. Everyone, including Yang Li and her female companion, looked at Zhang Brother differently.

Even Ah Xiu couldn't help but be moved. The money earned in this short time was enough for her to go to college with plenty to spare.

At this moment, Xiao Wang encouraged them again.

"Xiao Fan, Ah Xiu, are you coming?"

"With a master like Zhang Brother, we're here to make easy money. Don't worry, Brother Xiao will lend you the money, and you can pay it back when you win."

"Okay."

Ah Xiu was very hesitant, but seeing that Chen Fan didn't object, she bit her lip and nodded.

Xiao Wang's eyes gleamed with satisfaction, and he couldn't help but exchange a glance with Zhang Brother, both of them excited.

The fish was finally about to bite.

Chen Fan watched coldly, his mind as clear as a mirror, but he had no intention of speaking. Whether it was Ah Xiu or Xiao Wang and the others, they were just first-time acquaintances, with no connection to his past or present. As long as they didn't provoke him, why should he get involved?

He was a cultivator, seeking his own freedom and ease, not a do-gooder who saved everyone he saw.
