Chapter 235: Sect Competition-3 (Placing bets)
Averting his eyes away from Xerome, who was flirting with an aged woman, Jayden looked around and saw all his fellow disciples chatting and laughing, some seemed excited and some were nervous.
He looked to the side and saw a boy with a burly body sitting beside him, he sat there with his eyes closed and was acting as if he was cultivating, even though Jayden could clearly see that he was just trying to eavesdrop in the conversation of the girls sitting behind.
” Hey, What are you doing? ”
Jayden asked and the boy was instantly startled, as if he is caught doing something wrong, he coughed and pretended to look around in confusion.
Then looking at Jayden he asks with an unhappy expression:
” What? Who are you? ”
He was stunned to see someone so handsome sitting around him but he didn’t show it on his face.
” I’m Wang Jin, and you are? ” Jayden asks, with a small smile.
” I’m Gang, just call me Gang, so why did you do that earlier? ” He asked in an irritated tone.
” No reason, anyway how confident are you in winning this competition? ” Jayden spoke.
” Humph, if I’m the second then there would be no first, of course, I’m the one who will win. ” Gang said, raising his nose high.
” Damn, you really are something, by the way, is there a way to place bets?” Jayden asked in a whisper.
In a similar tone, gang replied while looking around carefully:
” Of course there are ways to place a bet, do you want to place your money on someone? ”
Gang asked and then continued: ” Let me give you a tip, place your money on me, I’m going to be the final winner anyway. ”
Jayden ignored his last sentence and asked again: ” So how do I place a bet? ”
” Can you see that man in a green robe, right over there, yes he is the one you are looking for. Just go to him and give him the money, he is trustworthy. ” Gang said, with an assuring look.
” Then preserve this seat for me, I’ll be back in an instant. ”
Jayden said as he stood up and started walking towards the man in a green robe.
” Yeah, remember my tip, do as I told you to. ” Jayden nodded and then walked away.
As he approached the green robed man, Jayden saw various people coming to him and placing bets,
‘ They are using the Sword points on betting right? Haa, I had already spent most of my remaining points today in the treasure pavilion, I won’t win a lot with what’s remaining. ‘ he thought, thinking of ways to get more points.
Then he looked towards Jia and wondered if he should ask to borrow some Sword points from her just then he saw Bao walking around.
The boy who looked feminine and was interested in boys, then Jayden spoke: ” Hey Bao ”
Bao turned and saw Jayden some distance away, with his gentle smile he approached Jayden, and after getting closer asked:
” Hello, Wang Jin are you here to ask that favor? ”
Jayden shook his head and asks:
” Do you have some Sword points on you? ”
Bao couldn’t understand why he asked that but still replied:
” Yes, I have, but why are you asking? ”
Jayden nodded and spoke: ” Great, give them to me. ”
Listening to his words Bao showed a confused expression then it turned to a little panic, Jayden rolled his eyes and said:
” I’m not extorting points from you, just lend me some I’ll return them after the sect competition. ”
Bao heaved a sigh of relief and asked:
” How many do you need? ”
Jayden asks without answering:
” How many do you have? ”
Bao looked into his bracelet and then said in a whisper:
” I- I have around 8 million S- Sword points. ”
Now, Jayden was stunned, he looked at Bao with questioning eyes wondering if he was just messing with him.
” Ah… You don’t know? My father is the first elder of this sect, that’s why I have so many points, so how many do you need? ”
He asks again. ” Um… Give me five million, and I can also help you increase your points.”
Jayden said showing a smile.
” Wh-? Five million? And how are you going to-? Wait you aren’t going to place a bet, are you? ”
Bao asked looking at all the people who were placing the bets.
” Yes, I am. You should bet too, after all I’m going to win and I don’t believe anyone would have placed their money on me so we both will get a lot in return. What do you think? ”
Bao shook his head and passed his Bracelet to Jayden:
” No, just take these points, I don’t want to lose so many points, my father will kill me. ”
Jayden shrugged and said: ” Well, your choice, don’t regret it later. ”
After thinking for a bit longer, Bao sighed and said: ” Fine, then please place my bet too, use all the remaining points. ”
Jayden nodded and walked away, leaving behind a confused Bao who wondered if he made the right choice.
Approaching the man in green robe who seemed to be in his late forties, Jayden spoke:
” I want to place a bet. ”
Without showing much interest and just keeping his head down, he asks: ” On whom and how much? ”
Jayden replied: ” Eight million points on Wang Jin. ”
Then, he finally looked up with a startle and observed Jayden, before speaking:
” Eight million? On Wang Jin? Are you sure? ”
Jayden just nodded and extended Bao’s bracelet towards him, the man looked surprised but then he proceeded normally and added his points under Wang Jin’s name.
” You know that you are the only person to place your money on Wang Jin, right? I advise you, to change it when you still have the chance, you might regret it later. ”
The green robed man said, maybe feeling a pity for him.
” Thank you for your concern, but just do that, And my name is Wang Jin, so please do it. oh by the way who is the person who is most likely to win? ”
Jayden asked, wondering if the Gang named boy he met was telling the truth.
” It’s Chang Ho. why, do you want to change your bets? ” He asked.
” No no, it’s alright I was just curious. ” Jayden said and walked away.
‘ Haa, I can’t believe someone is just throwing away such a large amount of points, well whatever not my problem. ‘ he shrugged.
Jayden walked back to his previous seat and sat beside Gang, who had his eyes closed again, as he listened to girls.
*SLAP*
Jayden slapped his back making him cry out in surprise, pain and panic.
” Wh- Wh- Who? Huh? What happened? Wang Jin? Why did you hit me? ” Gang asked in annoyance.
” No reason, I was just telling you that I placed my bet on you. ” Jayden said innocently.
Immediately Gang’s anger disappeared and was instead replaced by joy and pity, then hiding his emotions he spoke:
” Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you get your money’s worth, you will soon be ultra rich, just wait for the competition to end. ”
