Volume 1 The New Life Chapter 24 Premeditated
There are no impermeable walls in the world, and the bet between the Gilant family and the Bruce family was soon spread among many nobles, and more nobles joined it, and now even fools can see that this game is obviously a public alliance ceremony, announcing that the Gilant family has officially joined the camp of the Bruce family.
The odds of the game, the Bruce family is 1 to 0.3, which is a very low odds, but there are still a large number of people who buy the Bruce family to win, after all, this is a game without suspense, the Bruce family is determined to win, and even if the Gilant family loses, the odds of 0.3 can't lose much, for a duke, this money will not hurt the bones.
In a high-class VIP room on the right side of the middle of the venue, a middle-aged man in a golden gown calmly put the crystal wine glass on the table.
"Very well, the Gillant family wants to borrow flowers and offer the Buddha with the gold coins that they stole from me before, and they want to form an alliance with the Bruce family. Hehe, this Faemon who has been hiding for a year also appeared, I want to see what tricks you can play. ”
The middle-aged man snapped his fingers, and a young guard not far away stepped forward and knelt down on one knee respectfully, "Master, what do you command?" ”
The middle-aged man casually threw out a heavy cloth bag and said, "Go, all bet on the Gilant family to win." ”
The young guard's face changed when he took the cloth bag, but he didn't dare to have any doubts, so he promised and left quickly.
"Hmph, since you want to play, then let's just play bigger, I want to see, this bet, do you dare to take it. ”
......
In a private room in the backstage of the venue, an elderly man with gray hair and a duke's robe looked at the bet slips on the table, his brow furrowed into a twisted shape.
And kneeling under the old man was none other than Curris, whose face was pale at this time, and he did not dare to say a word.
"Curris, you have always been steady, why don't you tell me about such a big matter!" The old man was the owner of the arena, Duke Gillant, and Faemon's father.
Curris said in a trembling voice, "This, this...... I don't know who leaked the bet on the Bruce family and us, I've adjusted the odds temporarily, and even if we lose in the end, I estimate that we will lose about 5,000 gold. ”
"Report, report. A servant hurried in through the door, looking panicked.
"Lord Curris, someone came to bet just now, this amount is too big, I, I dare not accept it. The servant said tremblingly.
Curris jumped up at once, walked over to the servant, took the list and looked at it, only to see the signature at the beginning and feel a sigh in his heart. He hurriedly sent the list to the old duke's hand.
Duke Girant took a look at it, and his face suddenly changed. "Well, the Arrant family is really calculating, and that one of the minerals came to gamble with me, which really roasted me on the fire. ”
Curris on the side was also shocked by the bet, "Lord Duke, what should we do?"
"We took the bet. ”
Just as everyone was quietly holding their breath, waiting for the duke's final answer, a voice suddenly came from the door, breaking the dead silence of the entire room.
An obese middle-aged, bald man walked in through the door, followed by a well-proportioned, wheat-skinned teenager. The two officially Faimon and Ron.
Faemon walked up to Duke Gillant, picked up the list on the table and glanced at it, he also gasped, he didn't expect that the Arrant family would make such a big move.
The old duke's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was not angry at Fermont's unauthorized decision, but calmly looked at the son whom he had not seen for more than a year and said, "Oh, tell me what this bet means, and why we take it." ”
Faemon took a deep breath and said: "The Gillant family is obviously targeting us, their bet is a mineral, then if he loses, it means that we lose to the Bruce family, then we will lose the arena, although we can win a mineral in the Arrant, but he didn't say which one, it is completely possible to use a garbage waste mine to prevaricate." And if he wins, then we will win the game and keep the arena, but we will also lose our only mine, and we will offend the Bruce family. ”
"Haha, well, it seems that this year has made you a lot better outside. The old duke burst out laughing.
Some of the servants around were also puzzled for a while, and they all looked at each other.
At this time, Faemon did not continue to speak, but handed the list to Ron, who only glanced at it and said, "Hello, Dear Duke of Gillant. Faimon has already told me about your family. Actually, the reason why I want to take this bet is because I have a better way. ”
As soon as Ron's words fell, the old duke's originally kind face changed instantly, and a terrifying aura on his body instantly exploded, which belonged to a grandmaster's aura. "Little one, I heard about it from Curris! I don't care what mysterious origin you have, but before you have the strength, you are also an ant!"
Everyone present was shocked by the old duke's terrifying momentum and took a few steps back, but Ron in the center of the storm was already standing there steadily, although his face looked a little pale, but he still held his head high, neither humble nor arrogant.
Ron also knew in his heart that his current strength was indeed too weak, and the world sometimes had to rely on strength to speak after all.
Seeing this scene, the old duke was also slightly stunned, and coughed lightly: "You can tell me what is the better way." ”
Ron said with a confident smile on his face: "The Bruce family and the Arrant family have their own plans, whether you win or lose this game, for both of them, they can always occupy more weight on the balance of interests, I believe you should know this better than me." ”
The old duke's fingers tapped lightly on the chair's deputy, and the golden light in his eyes flickered, and then nodded slightly.
"I'm sure you should have done a lot of deduction for this competition, for the Arrant, who was already suspicious, if you want to protect the Gillant family, you will eventually compromise with the Bruce family. But all your intentions are based on winning or losing the game, but have you ever thought about what happens if the match ends in a draw?"
Ron's words were exquisite, and although they were not high, they suddenly plunged the whole room into deep thought.
