Chapter 42 Words are sharp, and I am shocked to hear that the strong man of the Sword King attacked and killed
Justin was surprised and asked, "There are so many?"
Lucas explained, "Your stake is twenty gold, of which sixteen are from defeating Bruce. The odds of betting on you to win is 1:8 and the odds of betting on opponents to win is 1:0.6, which is why your odds of winning are so high because everyone doesn't believe you. ”
Justin asked suspiciously, "I defeated Bruce the day before yesterday, why is everyone not optimistic about me?"
Lucas smiled bitterly: "Everyone thinks that Bruce deliberately lost in order to repay you for helping him advance and not killing." Moreover, the other three major families and some small families revealed that they were going to take your life in the arena, so everyone was not optimistic about your victory, which pushed up the chances of winning. ”
Justin asked, "How can there be so much money with a 1:8 win rate?"
Lucas calculated: "Your first match is 1:8 and you have a stake of 20 gold and you get a bet of 160 gold. Although the win rate of the second match is reduced to 1:5, you bet 200 gold, so the profit reaches 1000 gold. ”
Justin asked, "Twenty gold coins get a bet of one hundred and sixty gold coins, which is only the principal amount of one hundred and eighty gold coins!"
Lucas said: "Since yesterday's match had the gimmick of the Great Sword Master vs. the Sword Lord, the ticket price is more expensive, and you get twenty gold coins after you win, and I will also bet on you." So it's a bet of two hundred gold coins. ”
Justin snickered in his heart, he had already figured it out: "This Lucas can't see that he is making money, and wants to win all his money, so he will cash out his bet so quickly, but instead he will make a small profit." ”
Lucas smiled bitterly: "In the third game, your principal is 1,200 gold coins, and the winning rate is 1:2, so your profit reaches 2,400 gold coins." ”
Justin asked suspiciously, "Why didn't you bet my martial arts win?"
Lucas explained: "Your bet is so big that I'm afraid you won't get a penny if you lose, so I didn't make a decision anymore. ”
Justin sneered in his heart: "Look at my brother who has won too much, I don't dare to bet, really!" But he still said with a haha: "Manager Laulucas bothered, I actually have two thousand four hundred and forty gold coins so quickly, and these forty gold coins will be used as a thank you gift to Chief Lucas." ”
Manager Lucas shirked and said, "How dare I take my son's money." This time I am not only here to give you gambling money, but the second prince asked me to invite you to lunch, and I hope that your Excellency will not postpone it. ”
Justin shook his head and said, "I was very unhappy with the second son last time, let's forget about eating together!"
Manager Lucas wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve without grace, and hurriedly said: "The second prince guesses that Your Excellency will refuse, so let me remind you that he has news that is vital to Your Excellency. ”
Justin said with a solemn expression: "It seems that those families are not willing to fail!"
Lucas just waited in silence for Justin to make a decision.
Justin thought for a while and said, "Let's go, I'll go and hear what the second son has to say to me." ”
Lucas led Justin to a courtyard deep in the arena, and opened the courtyard door to see a towering pavilion. He bowed down and said in the direction of the pavilion: "Second son, ****** Du has arrived." ”
The second son said indifferently: "Okay, you go down first!"
Lucas bowed away and closed the courtyard door with his hand.
Justin walked into the pavilion and walked up the stairs step by step, and saw the handsome second son sitting on the top floor, and a sumptuous lunch was placed in front of him.
The second prince said: "The main purpose of inviting the lord here this time is to discuss the matter of the other three major families uniting with several small families to jointly plan against you. ”
Justin snorted and said: "They should have dealt with me, but they can make the second son pay attention, it must be that the other party wants to send a master that I can't deal with!"
The second prince praised: "The lord is really smart. Being able to develop the Thorn Territory from a small and dilapidated territory of 500 people to a large territory with a population of millions, the scale is comparable to that of a principality, and the annual profit is the envy of the kingdom, the lord is really eloquent!
Justin shook his head and said, "Time is also fate, if it weren't for the coincidence of the ogre king Dubibie, my territory is estimated to be the same as before." Therefore, the Thorn Collar has been able to develop so far, and the ogre has made great contributions. That's why I, the Thorn Leader, are so supportive of the ogres. ”
The second prince asked in surprise, "I don't know how the lord and the ogre king met?"
The scar in Justin's heart was mentioned, and he was very unhappy, he said: "This matter is a long story, and besides, it is also a secret between me and the Ogre King, and it is really not enough for outsiders. ”
The second son really thought that Justin's acquaintance with the ogre king was a secret, so he didn't ask any more questions. He said: "The lord can leapfrog and kill a sword lord level powerhouse at a young age, and his talent is enviable!"
"I never thought of myself as a genius, every point I got was earned by hard work and sweat. ”
The two sons collided with their knives and forks, making a pleasant sound, and he said: "The lord is so modest, his future achievements will be limitless. I have a message here, I wonder if the lord has a heart?"
Justin said: "The news that the second son is concerned about is naturally very important, not to mention that it is related to my life, I don't know what price the second son wants to offer?"
The second prince said angrily: "How can I be a good person, and the lord also underestimates me." ”
Justin pretended to be sincere and frightened and said, "Don't dare, the second son is a god-like figure, naturally not for these copper smells." ”
The second prince smiled angrily and said, "It turns out that Lord Justin is waiting for me here, are you afraid that I will force you to open a shop here?" Justin looked like you, which made the second prince even more annoyed.
Justin looked at the sumptuous lunch table, mostly a variety of meat and vegetable products, not a single seafood. He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Childe, this feast doesn't even have seafood, it's too shabby!"
The second prince laughed and said, "I know that Lord Justin has come up with a lot of incredible promotional methods in order to promote the way to eat seafood, and he is really a genius in the business world. It's just that you don't have to react so much just because you can't eat seafood! We just didn't negotiate a share, and we didn't refuse to settle in the Thorn Collar business. ”
In this way, the two of them went back and forth, showing their wit in their words, blocking each other's unreasonable demands, and putting forward their own interests and demands. In the end, when the dishes were cold, the two looked at each other and smiled, feeling that heroes cherish heroes.
The second son said: "I won't say more." The other three major families joined forces with several large and small families to come up with rich resources to invite the king-level genius of the Xishan family to kill the Xishan sword, ready to wait for the opportunity to ambush you, I don't know how the lord can deal with himself?"
