Chapter 292: Zhao Mu’s words came true, but Qinglong Casino was in a panic!
"What? You won't give it to me? Why wouldn't you give it to me? You're such a big gambling house, are you still cheating?"
Yan Hongling put her hands on her hips, pointed at the people in Qinglong Casino and cursed loudly. Her uncontrollable voice instantly attracted the attention of many people.
"What's happening here?"
"I heard that those people bet 150 high-grade spirit stones on Zhao Mu's complete victory, but the Qinglong Casino refused to honor the bet."
"A perfect win? Someone actually bet on this odds. They really pulled off an upset. If I remember correctly, the odds were a full 200 to 200 when the betting was closed. One hundred and fifty high-grade spirit stones, doesn't that mean...hiss...30,000 high-grade spirit stones?"
"What a pity! As it stands now, they won't be able to get these 30,000 spirit stones!"
"Is Qinglong Casino so deceptive? After all, it's a big casino, but they also do things like defaulting on their debts? Losing their reputation for 30,000 high-grade spirit stones isn't worth it, right?"
"If it's just for 30,000 high-grade spirit stones, it's certainly not worth it. I heard that besides the three of them, there's another mysterious person who bet a thousand high-grade spirit stones. For 200,000 high-grade spirit stones, it's worth it for Qinglong Casino to operate."
"Hiss~ Two hundred thousand, that's for sure!"
“…”
Wu Zixu and Xia Ningzhi both subconsciously looked at Zhao Mu. They didn't expect that everything was exactly as the latter had expected. Even the attitudes of the other gamblers watching were exactly the same as Zhao Mu described.
No one stood up to speak for them. They were all just watching the show, and some people even gloated over their misfortune.
This made them sigh: This is the human heart, this is human nature!
Yan Hongling's temper wasn't great. She slammed her hand on the table, pointed at the people from the Qinglong Casino and cursed, "If you don't honor your bets today, don't blame me for making a big deal out of it. You're playing dirty, aren't you? I want to see which is more important, thirty thousand high-grade spirit stones, or the reputation of your Qinglong Casino."
Wu Zixu and Xia Ningzhi both turned their gazes towards Zhao Mu.
Since this guy could foresee this situation, he must have a solution!
"Don't look at me, you two. I don't have the ability to force the Qinglong Casino to spit out the spirit stones!"
"What should we do? Should we just let them get away with it? These are 30,000 high-grade spirit stones..."
Even Xia Ningzhi, the ninth princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, showed a reluctant expression.
"Don't be impatient!"
Zhao Mu chuckled and said calmly, "Didn't you just hear from the onlookers that besides you three, there's another person who also placed a bet here, and it's a thousand high-grade spirit stones. That's two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones. Let's just wait and see.
After all, anyone who can put up a thousand high-grade spirit stones as a bet at once must be extraordinary."
uh~
Wu Zixu and Xia Ningzhi were both stunned when they heard this. It seemed that this was really the case. They were right to be anxious, but that person should be more anxious than them.
"I'm truly sorry, the odds for this handicap were incorrect, and there were only four people placing bets, so before closing the bet, we at Qinglong Casino decided to cancel this handicap.
Before the cancellation, we at Qinglong Casino looked for you guys, but we couldn’t find you…”
Another person came out of the Qinglong Casino with a very good attitude and apologized to Yan Hongling repeatedly.
"Cancel? Are you kidding me?"
Yan Hongling sneered.
"This isn't a lie, it's the truth. I know you must be feeling uncomfortable right now. How about this: In addition to returning your principal, each of you will receive an additional 500 high-grade spirit stones as compensation, is that okay?"
The people at Qinglong Casino were very humble, but Yan Hongling was arrogant.
It makes as if Qinglong Casino is the victim and Yan Hongling is the persecutor.
"Thirty thousand high-grade spirit stones, and you, the Azure Dragon Casino, only want to get rid of us with fifteen hundred? Haha!"
Yan Hongling sneered and said to the crowd, "My fellow seniors, please take a closer look. This is the true face of the Qinglong Casino. We were cheated today, and you will not be an exception in the future."
Then she said to the people in the Qinglong Casino, "Today's matter is not over yet. I won't let you get away with giving me 30,000 high-grade spirit stones so easily..."
After cursing for a few words, Yan Hongling retreated back to Zhao Mu and the others.
Because she knew very well that it was impossible for her to get the spirit stones she deserved back on her own. As for those onlookers, they were exactly as Zhao Mu had expected, indifferent to the matter and even a little gloating.
"Brother Liu, will this really be okay?"
After Yan Hongling left, someone whispered a question to the person in charge.
"It's okay. We did it openly and no one can find fault with us. We've also given them the compensation plan they deserved. It's just that they disagreed. What's more, these three are freshmen and don't have any connections."
"I see!"
.....
"Zhao Mu, what should we do now?"
Yan Hongling was so angry that her eyes turned red. If she hadn't been seriously injured and her strength was not enough, she would have wanted to overthrow this rogue Qinglong Casino.
"wait?"
Zhao Mu only uttered one word.
"wait?"
Yan Hongling looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"Literally, of course!"
Zhao Mu chuckled and said, "After all, the one who bet a thousand high-grade spirit stones is more anxious than you."
"What if that person has no choice but to admit defeat?"
"It's better to wait until you are strong enough in the future before you come to settle the account with this Qinglong Casino. By then, it won't be enough to just give 30,000 high-grade spirit stones. You'll have to add interest."
The corners of Zhao Mu's mouth curled up slightly. "Not to mention you and me, Brother Wu and the Ninth Princess alone will be enough to make them suffer in the future."
To be honest, Zhao Mu still couldn't see what kind of talent Yan Hongling had, let alone predict her future achievements, but Xia Ningzhi and Wu Zixu were destined to have extraordinary futures.
"Zhao Mu, you are really insightful. Forbearing? Interesting!"
Xia Ningzhi pursed her lips and smiled, obviously agreeing with Zhao Mu's plan.
However, just at this moment, a beautiful woman in a blue and white Confucian fairy dress appeared in the square. She walked lightly, like a fairy descending to the earth. The only pity was that she was a little too cold.
Wherever she passed, all the disciples couldn't help but take a second look at her, while subconsciously moving away and avoiding her.
"Why is Senior Sister Yan here?"
"Is this Yan Qingyue? She is indeed very beautiful."
"I hate it. Senior Sister Yan must be here to look for that freshman Zhao Mu."
"My goddess....wuwuwu~"
“…”
Under the envious and jealous gazes of everyone, Yan Qingyue slowly walked up to Zhao Mu.
"Hello, Senior Sister Yan!"
"Hello, Senior Sister Yan!"
Wu Zixu and Xia Ningzhi were able to remain calm, but Yan Hongling was different. She nudged Zhao Mu's arm with her elbow and made faces at him, almost forgetting to greet Yan Qingyue.
"Senior Sister Yan, why are you here?"
Looking at Yan Qingyue who suddenly appeared, Zhao Mu was also a little surprised.
"I'm here to get the spirit stones."
Yan Qingyue said calmly, "I've placed a bet of one thousand high-grade spirit stones at the Qinglong Casino, betting on your complete victory."
Upon hearing this, not only Zhao Mu's eyes lit up, but even Wu Zixu and others' eyes also shone.
