Honestly speaking, letting women fight was something that Hong Dali was very unwilling to do, so he prepared to reject it.
But very quickly, he changed his mind again. The situation was very obvious now, the other party was clearly here to scam him. Being a superprodigal, it would not be right for this profession if he didn’t jump into the trap.
Therefore, Hong Dali turned around at looked at the Zhang Yi, who was obviously eager to try. He smiled and asked, “Sister Xiao Yi, do you want to try?”
“Sure!” Zhang Yi excitedly squeezed her fist and directly agreed.
Speaking of which, watching women, especially beautiful women fight was really quite an interesting scene. Putting the problem of win-loss aside, it would be worth the ticket just based on their appearance and figure.
Therefore, the crowd instantly howled like wolfs upon hearing that such a good thing was going to happen and hurriedly cleared a space for the fight.
Hong Dali said, “Hm, how may I address you, Uncle?”
“The brothers in the underworld show respect for me and calls me Fifth Lord.” Fifth Lord laughed and asked, “How about you?”
“Yup, my lackeys show respect for me too and call me Young Master,” Hong Dali laughed and said.
Everyone around them instantly dropped onto the floor laughing.
This Fifth Lord was a person who truly fought hard for many years in the underworld. Although this planet was the heart of the galaxy alliance and looked very high and magnificent, underworld people like the Fifth Lord, in fact, had existed for as long as humans had existed. In the story of Jing Ke assassinating Emperor Qin of the Qin dynasty, Jing Ke was akin to being the leader of the underworld at that time. Another example was the Han emperor Liu Bang who started off as a village hooligan.
Therefore, the saying that heroes mostly came from humble birth was not wrong. In this Silver-blue super-planet, there was the Galaxy Aristocrats at the top of the chain. Naturally, there were also the underworld mafias like Fifth Lord who ruled amongst the commoner level.
Although Fifth Lord came from a prestigious family, he wasn’t considered to be one of the main descendants. Therefore, when young, his status was comparable to that of a small hooligan. Towards the back, because of his smart brain and ruthlessness, he rose to today’s position. He said that the people in the Underworld respected him, that was because those people indeed did.
Not counting the Galaxy Aristocrats and the Honorary Aristocrats, in this district, Fifth Lord was practically a true king.
But Hong Dali saying that his lackeys respected him seemed nonsense—wasn’t he just wasting words, who else should his lackeys respect other than him?
“Little Brother, you must be making a joke.” When Fifth Lord said this, he subconsciously glanced at Li Nianwei’s face, then looked away without showing any emotion.
But in his heart, he was thinking: “Challenging him is only an attent to understand his background. If I didn’t recognize wrongly, this woman beside him should be the new generation goddess who obtained 85 million in support in this times’ Sing! Milky Way. Judging from the relationship between them, this young man must be the legendary Young Master Hong Dali? Being someone who Li Nianwei looks so heavily upon, he is definitely not simple. It’s better to test his fighting ability first. If it’s possible, humph…”
Hong Dali naturally didn’t know what the Fifth Lord was thinking about and he was also too lazy to bother. Hong Dali only insipidly nodded and, with his usual grinning face, said, “Since you want to bet with me, how much money do I need to bet?”
“Up to you.” Fifth Lord smiled and said, “I have a few friends who are quite interested in this bet too. We won’t bully you with our seniority, the five of us will just place a bet of five million each. You are alone by yourself, so you just have to double that to bet against us. You only have to bet 10 million, how about that?”
Hong Dali bet 10 million and Fifth Lord’s side would bet five million each for five people. Speaking of which, this ratio was not bad. Hong Dali directly nodded and said, “Okay.”
Therefore, both parties started making preparations.
In total, the pool in this gamble was 35 million dollars. This huge gamble was rarely seen in this casino. Very quickly, the attendant brought them to a special room allocated for such gambling battles.
This room had a total land space of 10,000 square meters. Except for battles that were over a certain level, this place was enough for people to fight all they wanted.
Fifth Lord’s side.
The other four people who were equal of status to Fifth Lord shared a look, then one of them softly laughed and said, “Little Five, this Fire Rose of yours haven’t fought for quite a few years already, right? How is it? Are you confident?”
Lizard Man said, “This lad must be quite capable since he was able to bring the goddess Li Nianwei out with him in broad daylight like this. But your Fire Rose is a Fourth-Order Planet Warrior, so it naturally shouldn’t be a problem. However, what’s your plan on whether we win or lose?”
“Just see how things go and decide from there,” Fifth Lord insipidly replied. “Test this kids’ capability first. If he is a tough nut to crack, we shall just use this five million each to buy an impression of us from him. If he’s soft, what happens naturally doesn’t need more talking.”
“Right, that’s what I meant.” Lizard Man violently nodded in agreement.
To be honest, he had laid his eyes on Li Nianwei for a long while. Previously, because Li Nianwei mentioned the Young Master, he was still a bit afraid of this mysterious Young Master and didn’t dare to take action. But now, since the Young Master had appeared, he naturally had to test his background.
If this Young Master was weak enough…
“Hehe, looking at her from such a close distance, Li Nianwei is a hundred times more pretty than her projected image!” Upon thinking of this, the scales on Lizard Man’s entire body almost stood up.
…
On Hong Dali’s side.
Whilst Fifth Lord and the rest were discussing their strategy, Hong Dali naturally wasn’t just resting too.
Now that they came all the way here to send benefits to him, Hong Dali and his people were all naturally beaming with delight. Elentina looked at the expressions on their faces and felt even more surprised. She softly asked Li Nianwei, “Miss Nianwei, are you sure that we can win? That woman under Fifth Lord, the one called Fire Rose, she is very powerful. She was the one who fought and won half of Fifth Lord’s empire for him. Are we really able to win against her?”
“Don’t worry.” Li Nianwei smilingly and pointed at Zhang Yi, who was doing a warm-up. “The people around Young Master are all very powerful, it will be fine.”
“That’s for sure!” Zhang Yi was so excited that her whole face was red. “I haven’t fought for such a long time. Dali, tell me, how do you want me to fight her? Just tell me the duration, I will fight her for as long as you say! Hehe, they actually dared to try and scam you, I shall teach them a lesson!”
Being the Zerg Queen who came from Earth, Zhang Yi was naturally not someone to be trifled with. In her days with the Queen of Blades, Ji Zining, she didn’t waste her time too. Now, she had enhanced the Zerg DNA in her again. It wasn’t an overstatement to say that even if her opponent was a First Order Planet Warrior, she would be able to fight against her too—she had practiced everything that was in the Last Words by Tianji left behind by Mo Tianji!
“Oh…” This was a huge gamble worth 35 million dollars, this was definitely not a joke.
Although Elentina responded as such, she was still so nervous inside that her palm was completely wet from sweat.
Today, she had truly seen what was called huge spending. Speaking of which, she had even wanted to buy Hong Dali’s virginity for 20,000 dollars previously…
Tang Muxin and the rest were all very eager for the competition to start too. However, Hong Dali touched his chin and suddenly said, “Sister Xiao Yi, for the competition later, you mustn’t win.”
“Huh!?” Hearing Hong Dali’s words, everyone was instantly stunned.
Mustn’t win? What meaning was that? Zhang Yi was unable to win against that Fire Rose?
“I can defeat her.” Zhang Yi anxiously said, “Dali, do you think that I will lose to her?”
“Of course I know that Sister Xiao Yi is the most capable.” Hong Dali smiled and said, “But for this fight, we mustn’t win. We must purposely lose.”
“Oh.” Actually, Zhang Yi wasn’t really concerned whether she won or lost. What she cared about was how Hong Dali viewed her. Now that Hong Dali had shown confidence in her strength, she wasn’t much concerned about other stuff anymore. She instantly nodded and said, “Yup, okay.”
Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei shared a look, unable to fathom what Hong Dali was thinking. Instead, they asked Lucifer, “Heartbreaker, what do you think is the reason for Dali to ask Sister Xiao Yi to purposely lose the match?”
“I’m not able to guess the wisdom of a god.” Lucifer had been following Hong Dali around for a long walk today and he was even more unsure of what Hong Dali was thinking now. “Whatever the case, let’s just wait and see. I’m certain that Young Master has his own plan.”
“That’s all we can do now.” Tang Muxin pouted and said, “Then let’s see what he is actually trying to do now.”
Very quickly, the casino sent a profession judge. Then, the sound of the whistle sounded and the competition was about to start!
Both combatants entered the stage.
For Fifth Lord’s side, the person was Fire Rose, Sabrina. As for Hong Dali’s side, the person was the Zerg Queen, Zhang Yi.
The two of them went up the stage together. There naturally wasn’t a need to describe Zhang Yi’s looks, but Sabrina was very beautiful too. Although not to the standard of Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, and Zhang Yi, she was at least on the same level as that of Heloise.
Therefore, this scene now was really a very pleasant sight to behold.
The audiences were all softly discussing—
“The person sent by this Young Master is really good-looking. Who do you think will win?”
“In my view, it’s definitely Fire Rose who will win! She fought and won half of Fifth Lord’s empire for him. Her level is that of the Fourth-Order Planet Warrior, that isn’t a joke.”
“That’s right. Fire Rose’s name in the underworld is practically the same level as that of the Fifth Lord, she is really very capable.”
“That’s not for sure. The beauty beside this young man is Li Nianwei, right? Judging from their relationship, he must be the Young Master that Li Nianwei mentioned on Sing! Milky Way, right? Being able to make the goddess so infatuated with him, this Young Master must be quite capable too.”
“Yup, it’s definitely an even-sided fight. This is really thrilling!”
While the audiences were discussing, the two women on stage didn’t speak and made their own preparations. Very quickly, the judge blew the whistle and they started fighting!
Previously, these people watching didn’t know what beautiful women fighting together would look like, but now they knew.
Even during such a battle, the two women behaved very beautifully too. Any move they made was also a beautiful sight to behold.
Once they started fighting, they had exchanged ten plus blows in an instant. Everyone could tell that Fire Rose had the upper hand the whole time and Zhang Yi was only barely able to defend herself. After another ten plus moves, Zhang Yi was caught off-guard and Fire Rose’s palm landed on her shoulder, causing her to be knocked back a few steps.
“Thank you for the fight.” Sabrina slightly bowed, turned around, and retreated.
For this battle, Hong Dali lost!
