When Zayn arrived, the crowd briefly went silent before going back to normal. They averted their eyes from favonovel.com as if they had already disregarded favonovel.com completely.
Nearby, Shaelyn and favonovel.com Aeolus House’s colleagues were eating. Instinctively, favonovel.com wanted to wave at Zayn and call for favonovel.com to join her. However, favonovel.com was immediately stopped by someone next to her.
She could only drop favonovel.com arm with a rather sad expression on favonovel.com face.
Even favonovel.com felt that Zayn was doomed for sure this time from the bottom of favonovel.com heart.
Zayn smiled nonchalantly. He did not mind this at all. He bought his meal and carried his tray to look for a seat. When favonovel.com approached a table, the expressions of the people seated there briefly froze. One of them stood up and said, “Yup, I’m full.”
“What a coincidence, I’m full too. Let’s take a walk outside.”
All at once, everyone at the table left.
There was no expression on Zayn’s face. He began having his meal as if favonovel.com was oblivious to their discrimination and hostility.
After the meal, Zayn walked out of the hotel and began to take a stroll. As it happened, no matter where favonovel.com went, everyone nearby would disperse when favonovel.com approached, avoiding favonovel.com like the plague.
While favonovel.com walked, favonovel.com found himself before a wooden shed, clamorous noises coming from inside it.
He could faintly hear his name being mentioned, and after considering for a moment, favonovel.com decided to walk over and check it out.
He soon figured out what was going on.
He saw more than 20 people gathered inside, and they were all wealthy business owners from various cities. They had gathered there to gamble.
“Everyone, the Great Hunt is going to begin tomorrow. It is also the battle of the century between Xander Griffin and Zayn Larson. Wilson, Davis, and I are the dealers and you may place your bets as you wish now. The odds for Xander are 1 to 1.13.”
Someone said aloud in a soaring tone but was immediately opposed by others, “F*ck, 1 to 1.13 is too low! If I bet 10 million dollars, I’ll only make 130,000! That’s not even enough for my mistress’ monthly allowance!”
“That’s true, 1.13 is too little. It has to be 1.2 at the very least!”
The man claiming to be the dealer said, “Why are you complaining that the odds are too low, huh? The odds for Zayn are 1 to 7.3. You can place 10 million dollars and earn 73 million if Zayn wins.”
“F*ck, that’s even more absurd. How can Zayn possibly win? You’re talking about 1 to 7.3? No one’s gonna place a bet even if the odds were 1 to 17.3! There’s no way! There’s absolutely no way!”
“That’s right. Those with discerning eyes can tell that Zayn is bound to lose and you’re still talking about 1 to 7.3?”
“Zayn is doomed, 100 percent.”
Many people were cursing and scolding the three dealers for giving odds that did not make sense.
The other dealer said, “There’s no need for you to make a fuss here. Since all of you assume that Zayn doesn’t have a chance, place your bet on Xander. The odds of 1 to 1.13 is still money. However, we’re just going to put this out there. The highest bet you may place is 15 million dollars and nothing more.”
The third dealer chuckled and said, “However, since we’re all old friends, there’s no ceiling to the bet you wish to place on Zayn. You could even wager 150 million dollars, hah-hah.”
“Placing a bet of 150 million dollars will earn you 1.1 billion dollars!”
Many people were visibly stirred by that amount of money, but they calmed down and considered the outcome. It was utterly impossible for Zayn to win. Betting on favonovel.com would be giving money to these three dealers for nothing.
As a result, they all placed their bets on Xander in succession. Some placed 1.5 million dollars while some placed 3 million dollars, with the highest amount reaching the limit of 15 million dollars.
This made the three dealers furrow their brows. They were quite concerned if all the bets were placed on only one side. If Xander were to win, they would suffer a huge loss.
“Hey, you’re all betting on Xander? Why do you underestimate Zayn so much? I heard that he’s already a master fighter, and being such a young man, perhaps Zayn can beat Xander to death.”
The dealer’s words immediately drew in the others’ displeased retorts. “Heh-heh, Zayn can beat Xander to death? Heh-heh, do you think that’s possible?”
“That’s right, do you think we’re idiots or something?”
“Even at the odds of 1 to 1.13, you’re going to have to compensate a lot this time. Hah-hah.”
The dealers panicked. They should have offered even lower odds!
Meanwhile, a voice was heard coming from behind the crowd. “I’d like to place 300 million dollars on Zayn winning.”
The crowd was startled upon hearing the voice. They turned around and looked back to find Zayn standing at the door watching them with a smile on his face. They were embarrassed.
