Chapter 1060 — The Last Gamble

"Hold on, hold on, young man, it will be too late in a moment!" How could Yu Ren possibly wait until the betting was over? By then everything would be too late! He wanted to place his own bet right now!

"Ah, you can just borrow from the casino! Up to 500,000, you only need to sign an agreement!" The young man waved his hand impatiently. He did it on purpose, for if he acted too warmly, Yu Ren might grow suspicious.

Sure enough, the colder he acted, the more anxious Yu Ren became! Yu Ren threw all caution aside, and the moment the man taking bets arrived, he demanded a loan outright! Such a stroke of luck came once in a thousand years. Place the bet and you were guaranteed to profit, and Yu Ren had no intention of letting it slip by!

Arranging a loan, however, could not be finished in an instant. The man collecting bets took out a walkie-talkie and summoned the arena's special loan officer to handle Yu Ren's paperwork, while he himself went on taking wagers from the others.

To Yu Ren's bitter and unavailing regret, although the loan finally came through, the second bout had already begun! No more bets were being accepted, which meant he could only stake his money on the very last bout!

He was filled with remorse. Why had he not borrowed the money sooner and thus thrown away a golden chance to make a fortune!

Why was Yu Ren so certain that he could make a fortune this time? The reason was simple. Only five minutes into the fight, it had become completely one-sided. Red Dragon was beating White Sheep senseless all on his own, and White Sheep could barely fight back. In no time he was battered all over!

Although White Sheep kept struggling to strike back, it had almost no effect! He was simply no match for Red Dragon. Before long his nose was streaming blood, and his body was a patchwork of black and blue!

"Go, Red Dragon!" Cheers burst out across the arena once more. These people had all staked heavily on Red Dragon! And Red Dragon did not disappoint them, still crushing his opponent with overwhelming power! It was plain to see that the moment his opponent fell was not far off!

Yu Ren was burning with regret. What a perfect chance! And who knew whether Red Dragon would be allowed to fight in the third bout! After all, at this rate the owner of the arena would lose his shirt. Surely Red Dragon would be taken off for the third bout?

The result was without suspense. Red Dragon won again! Cheers rang out from the stands once more, while Red Dragon's opponent died with his chest caved in by Red Dragon's blows! A thing like that could not be faked!

Excited cries rose and fell through the arena, for Red Dragon had brought everyone another great fortune! It set everyone's blood boiling! Many had placed huge wagers on this bout. One could say this single fight had earned them unimaginable wealth!

Just when everyone was certain the casino owner would change fighters, the unexpected happened!

After finishing his bout, Red Dragon did not step down from the ring, but sat down at the edge of the ring to rest! That meant Red Dragon would still appear in the third bout!

This excited everyone all over again. Could Red Dragon really keep on fighting? Would that not bring another great fortune?

Very soon the lineup for the third bout was posted on the big screen. It was still Red Dragon, and his opponent was still a newcomer, one called Black Cat.

In the stands, the people grew excited again, all of them frantically making phone calls!

"Secretary Wang? Send over all the company money, into my account. I am going to play big this time... Yes, that is right, all of it!" A bald boss barked the order into his phone.

"President Sun? I will put up our company building and all my real estate as collateral. Lend me two hundred million, yes, yes... Do you not trust me? I will have the property deeds sent right over. You transfer the money to my account immediately..." A middle-aged fat man who looked like a big boss said into the phone.

"Dad, it is me... Transfer all the money at home to me, quick, I have a big deal here!" A fellow with the air of a rich young master was also calling.

"Son, it is your father. Pull back the overseas investments for me, at once, right now, I need it this minute... What is a little penalty fee? Let me tell you, give me the money now, and after tonight your old man will be on the rich list!" It was yet another boss scrambling for funds.

"Brother Li? It is Scarface. Lend me five hundred million..." This was a red-eyed gambling gang boss, borrowing through an underground bank!

In the arena, people making such calls were beyond counting! They all realized this was the greatest chance of their lives. Red Dragon would actually fight bout after bout! They knew this was likely Red Dragon's last appearance! Tomorrow the arena owner would surely never let him fight again. To field such an ever-victorious champion again would only mean losing money!

Of course, no one present worried that the arena would have Red Dragon throw the third bout, for real or fake could be seen at a glance. The arena owner would never do a thing to enrage the crowd, unless he had conspired with Red Dragon to have Red Dragon beaten to death!

But that was impossible. No matter what reward was offered, Red Dragon would never agree to work with the arena and be beaten to death! Once dead, what use would any reward be? Besides, a fighter of Red Dragon's skill was a pillar attraction in any underground ring!

Yu Ren had not wanted to stake the whole 500,000 at once, for if he lost he could never repay it, but seeing the people around him frantically raising money, and the youngster throwing in everything he had -- over 1,500,000 in all -- his resolve wavered.

And the meat-selling boss had also staked 600,000!

Yu Ren's eyes turned red in an instant. Gritting his teeth, he staked the entire 500,000 loan.

Yu Ren thought, since everyone was so confidently staking all their money, there could be no mistake!

Only, the third bout defied everyone's expectations!

Red Dragon was indeed formidable, and in the third bout he fought bravely as ever, but his opponent seemed no weakling either, and was not quickly knocked down like the two before him!

Of course, the people in the stands did not think much of it. After all, recalling the final bout last night, Red Dragon's opponent then had also been quite strong, and had not gone down so easily!
