Chapter 158: The Witch's "Deterrence"
Lin Xiao bet a total of 5 billion and 50 million gold coins on Gollum to win.
According to the rules of the arena, the prize money he received would be 10.1 billion gold coins.
plus his principal, a total of 15.1 billion and 50 million.
In this way, the total amount of gold coins that Lin Xiao took away has exceeded the total amount of the "staking pool".
As a result, for Donald, less than 30 million of the gold coins he had staked could be returned.
1.5 billion becomes 30 million.
The Earl did not have a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot, which is quite determined.
"What should I do if I have no liquidity?"
Donald is a qualified businessman.
Of course, he knew how devastating his loss tonight would be for his entire family.
Once the capital chain is broken, the countless shops he runs will go out of business, and countless assets will be liquidated and auctioned.
I am afraid that the industry that my family has worked hard for more than 100 years will not survive.
Donald's heart was full of regret.
Why did you come to the Colosseum tonight bet?
Soon, though, he put regret behind him.
It has already happened, and it is useless to regret it.
Now we can only find a way to solve the problem.
But is there anything I can do to make up for this terrible loss?
The Count's brain was racing, and in an instant, a flash of light flashed.
"I remember that guy called Midnight was a 'black household' who didn't have an invitation to the arena and came in by donating gold coins!"
As soon as he thought of this, Donald's face, which was originally as dead as ashes, turned a trace of blood on his face.
Lin Xiao divided the entire "betting pool" with a huge amount of money, and I am afraid that most of the nobles who participated in tonight's bet have lost all their money.
He was "guilty of the wrath of the people."
Originally, for a "black account" like Lin Xiao who came in by donating money to bet in betting, the arena would not interfere too much.
But this time, things are very different.
Tonight's Colosseum Tournament was attended by some of the most powerful nobles in the Boon Empire.
If he can use Lin Xiao's identity as a "black household" to make many nobles who lost a fine game tonight put pressure on the arena, he will be able to invalidate all the betting tickets in Lin Xiao's hand!
At that time, won't his 1500 million be returned to his own hands?
Thinking of this, Donald immediately had his servant call the management of the arena.
"I'm going to report it! This man is a black household! They didn't have an invitation and they came in by donating money! ”
The Count's hoarse cry startled the goddess Sifna.
"What are you doing? If you lose, you lose, what does it mean to lose like this? ”
The goddess's words only made Donald even more excited.
"Heh, wait for me, and you'll cry in a while."
The Count's eyes glowed red, and his nails were sinking into the flesh of his palms.
"A few of you, hurry up and contact a few adults on this list, and say that I have something important to discuss with them."
Donald, of course, knows that the arena will protect the rights and interests of its customers.
Just by reporting that Lin Xiao is a black household, I am afraid that the arena can only refuse him to watch other performances in the future.
In order for the arena to decide that Lin Xiao's betting slip is invalid, it still needs the help of those dukes and even the princes.
Donald is well-known in arena betting circles.
Although his title is not high, he has always had a good relationship with the few nobles who also like to "mow the lawn" in the arena with him.
According to Donald's estimates, the losses of the bigwigs on the list tonight are also very huge, and they will definitely not let go of this opportunity to recover their losses.
However, no sooner had he sent his servants out than an arena administrator walked into the box with a pink letter.
"This, this is ......"
Looking at the coat of arms on the pink letter, Donald's feet immediately fell to his knees.
As a nobleman of the Boon Empire, of course he recognized the emblem of the eldest princess of the empire, known as the "Boon Witch" Camilla.
As a big businessman, Donald has a very wide range of information.
Naturally, he has also heard about Camilla's evil deeds.
Originally, it was impossible for a sleek businessman like Donald to provoke a big devil like the Witch of Boon.
So why did this letter, with Camilla's emblem, arrive at such a time?
The fat earl's heart was naturally puzzled.
He opened the letter tremblingly, fearing that the envelope had been poisoned by the witch.
Donald had heard of the tragic deaths of those who had been poisoned by Camilla.
Therefore, the process of opening the envelope was even more uncomfortable for him than the Grim Reaper holding a scythe against his neck.
When the fat earl took the lightly scented letter out of the envelope, he didn't even realize that his whole body was drenched with sweat.
"Count Donald, although you and I have never met, your great princess has also heard of it."
“……”
Donald read the beginning of the letter, and really didn't know whether he should be happy or unlucky, the famous princess of the empire actually "heard something" about a small person like herself.
"The lord you reported is a far-sighted, wise, gentle, kind, and extremely elegant person."
"Although he did not have an invitation, as a great person I admire and admire the most, coming to visit the arena is undoubtedly the greatest honor of my Boon Empire, and I hope you know this."
Donald read the letter in his hand, and an unparalleled sense of fear welled up in his heart.
Camilla's tone in the letter seemed to be quite polite to herself, and she didn't even mean to reproach herself.
But because of the notoriety of the person who wrote the letter, the Count felt that the polite words were like a death sentence against himself, and indeed on his entire family.
"So I hope you can retract your report and convince others not to disturb the person I have so much respect for."
"Besides, you should apologize to that elegant and beautiful lady for your actions."
"At the end, I ask you not to tell anyone the content of this letter, thank you for your cooperation."
"I suggest that you eat it after reading it, so that others will not be able to see the contents of it."
After reading the letter, Donald barely resisted the urge to faint and shoved it into his mouth.
Camilla wrote about her actions in such detail in the letter, she must have been observing her actions not far away.
The words she used in her letter were so polite, which should be a sign that she was angry to the extreme.
Some people laugh angrily, and Camilla's attitude is understandable.
In Donald's mind, since he had offended the eldest princess's "extremely respectful" person, there was absolutely no chance of survival.
But for the sake of his family, he could only act according to the instructions of the eldest princess of the empire.
"Perhaps, this letter is a kind of poison that has a delayed onset......
Thinking of his beautiful wife and lovely children, Donald's heart was full of peace at this time.
It would be worth it if they traded their own death for their peace.
Even if the family business goes bankrupt, they can live a worry-free life with a wealth that they have transferred in advance.
Don't look at this fat earl's bad look, in fact, he is still a good man who cares about his family.
After swallowing the letter, Donald pulled himself together and walked in front of the goddess Severna.
"My lord, I was wrong."
With that, he threw himself to his knees.
"Punish me as much as you want......"
Donald's unusual behavior made Siffner a little uncomfortable.
What's wrong with this man?
Didn't you say you were going to report us a second ago?
Why are you kneeling and apologizing now?
"You said I should punish you, how should I punish you?"
"Whip it, that's more resentful."
I have to say that at the critical juncture, Donald blurted out words out of some of his "personal hobbies" on weekdays.
The goddess doesn't understand this.
She already didn't like the ugly and fat earl, and since he asked to whip him herself, there seemed to be no reason to refuse?
Seeing this, Lin Xiao finally understood the cause and effect of everything.
He shook his head with a wry smile and looked in the direction where Camila was hiding.
