Chapter 70: Found Out By The Family
“Urgh——!”
A Hao supported himself on the railing and vomited up his dinner.
“Fuck, A Jun, you did that on purpose to embarrass me, right?” A Hao rubbed his stomach, looking at Chen Wujun with shock and suspicion.
He knew Chen Wujun’s progress over the past few months had been fast, but he didn’t expect it to be this fast.
A few months ago, Chen Wujun’s strength was far inferior to his, yet under the ambush of three Initial Construction Stage New Technique Martial Artists and nine ordinary henchmen, he relied on the night and sneak attacks to take down eleven people.
He originally thought Chen Wujun would rely on Old Technique movement technique and some other means to fight this Gambling Battle.
But in just a few months of Kung Fu… the opponent’s progress speed was frighteningly fast, and even clashing head-on, he himself was not his opponent.
Was progress in practicing Old Technique this fast?
Then why develop New Technique?
“Your fists were so ruthless, I couldn’t hold back either. I’ll treat you to another meal… let’s go eat hot pot, you coming?” Chen Wujun laughed.
The gang’s most basic logic was strength.
The stronger your strength, the more respect others would give you.
If your strength was insufficient, even with Sha Jiu backing you, others would still look down on you deep down.
“Of course I’m going, why not?” A Hao said through gritted teeth, then turned to curse at a henchman nearby: “What are you looking at? Hurry up and get the stuff to clean this up?”
The two put on their jackets and walked out shoulder to shoulder, with several henchmen following behind.
“Hao Ge, Brother Jun!” The Martial Arts School henchmen all greeted them.
Chen Wujun glanced at them and noted it down.
He felt a surge of anger in his heart.
In these henchmen’s eyes, A Hao’s status and reputation were still higher than his own.
But after the Gambling Battle, that should change.
“A Hao, did you bet on me to win?” Chen Wujun turned his head to A Hao.
“Of course I did, I bet several hundred thousand! You know I have big monthly expenses, not much spare cash…” A Hao immediately said.
He had previously bet 300,000 on Chen Wujun to win, and after today’s fight, his confidence increased a lot, planning to bet another 500,000 tomorrow.
Chen Wujun went to call A Yue downstairs to join them for hot pot.
“Call him Hao Ge!”
“Hao Ge!” A Yue greeted, then happily hugged Chen Wujun’s arm with excitement in her expression.
This was the first time Chen Wujun had introduced her to others.
Under the Walled City lights, A Yue’s features were as beautiful as a painting.
“This is A Yue, right? Kai Lun said she’s the most beautiful in the Walled City… indeed pretty, and great figure too! Next time have Kai Lun introduce one to me!” A Hao laughed.
The group went to the hot pot restaurant where they had eaten the first time they met Sha Jiu.
Inside and outside the Walled City were two different worlds.
Looking at the fashionable clothes of the diners in the Hot Pot Restaurant, then at A Yue’s cheap T-shirt, Chen Wujun suddenly felt the need to buy some clothes for A Yue.
Otherwise, others might think he had no money to buy clothes for his woman.
The next day, Chen Wujun arrived at the Martial Arts School, and A Hao sat down beside him.
“I bet another 500,000 today. Now it’s not just my entire fortune on you, I even borrowed money to bet. A Jun, you have to win! Otherwise I’ll be drowning in debt.”
“I’ll beat him to death!” Chen Wujun grinned, revealing a ferocious aura.
Hearing this, he felt no pressure, only more excitement.
As the Gambling Battle drew closer, excitement gradually built in his heart, every cell in his body starting to thrill.
He liked standing at the center of everyone’s attention.
“By the way, your odds were up to 1 to 2.3, then a big whale placed a heavy bet, 20 million on Yu Wei to win, now your odds are at 2.6.” A Hao suddenly said.
“Who?” Chen Wujun immediately looked over, the ferocity in his eyes making A Hao’s heart skip.
‘A Jun has no greenness left at all, his aura is getting more ferocious, like a tiger locked in a cage about to break out.’ A Hao thought to himself.
Since A Hao called it a big whale, it definitely wasn’t He Tu or Li Dong’s two gangs, nor any other gang.
It was some super rich guy.
“Don’t know, just heard it’s a big whale. I’ll ask around later.” A Hao said.
……
Outside the Walled City in a Bar, Yu Wei put his arms around two petite, young-looking girls as he came to the booth.
He saw Wen Long and a man with a harelip, cruel and cold temperament, sitting there talking.
“Boss!”
Wen Long pointed backward, Yu Wei glanced and immediately understood, pushing the two girls beside him to go wait in another booth.
Then he sat on the sofa.
“Boss, something up?”
“Heard you’ve hooked two chicks lately, legs going soft? How’s the prep?” Wen Long sat on the sofa with legs crossed.
“Don’t worry, not just two, even four more wouldn’t affect me!” Yu Wei said confidently.
“Don’t underestimate that guy! Sha Jiu dared set four months, she must be confident. And this time Sha Jiu bet 10 million on him to win.” Wen Long said gravely.
“Boss, Sha Jiu definitely bet on her henchman to win, right? Otherwise bet on me?” Yu Wei smiled.
“I know Boss wants to say Sha Jiu is confident, but I am too!”
“Confidence is good, you know this guy, right?” Wen Long looked at the man beside him.
“Beng Zui She, Snake Bro!” Yu Wei said, with a bit of flippancy in his expression.
Nowadays Beng Zui She was just a stray dog, who took out his boss’s whole family was still unknown… maybe even him.
Beng Zui She glanced at him and saw what he was thinking from his eyes, suppressing his anger: “That kid uses the same Kung Fu as Sha Jiu, they should be from the same sect.”
Hearing this, Yu Wei finally turned serious.
“That day Sha Jiu injured me, half my body couldn’t move, but even a tiger fallen to the plains isn’t for any tomcat or dog to provoke. That kid slipped away from me relying on the same movement technique as Sha Jiu, slippery as an eel.”
“If you want to win, be extra careful.”
“I hope you beat that kid to death on the fist stage, at least cause some trouble for Sha Jiu first.”
Yu Wei thought for a moment: “I’ll keep it in mind.”
“Stay away from women lately, train properly, watch out those two might be sent by Sha Jiu to make your legs soft by fight time.” Wen Long continued.
“I bet 10 million on you!”
“Don’t worry Boss! Won’t delay the main event. I’ll beat him to death in the ring!” Yu Wei smiled confidently, letting Wen Long’s words go in one ear and out the other.
The two women beside him, he’d already had people check them out: family needed money, fishing for suckers in the bar.
And he had absolute confidence in his own strength.
He was originally an elite from the special suppression unit, went on the run after killing a colleague while drunk.
He’d fought people under Wen Long, and He Tu’s people; those Walled City boys, aside from New Technique levels, were no match for military elites like him in other aspects.
Moreover, everyone thought his Magnetic Field Reinforcement Reconstruction was 50%, but actually it had reached 58%.
Only at this level did he know the huge gap between Reinforcement Reconstruction at 58% and 50%.
The biggest difference between them was… he had started reinforcing his five senses, now twice as sharp as before.
That was his trump card.
Beneath Yu Wei’s lazy demeanor, his gaze swept like a hawk’s, he could even hear the dice sounds from a distant booth under the noisy music.
As for the kid he was gambling dueling, punching practice for less than a year.
What right did he have to fight him?
The only thing he cared about was that the kid used the same movement technique as Sha Jiu, they were likely from the same sect, so worth noting.
After all, Sha Jiu, a woman, made her name in the Walled City with her Kung Fu, fighting her way up.
Of course, just a bit of note, the kid wasn’t Sha Jiu.
He would beat him to death in the ring.
……
April 14th, the outer betting opened.
All the Gambling Dens in the Walled City opened markets.
“Outer market opened, He Tu vs Li Dong Gambling Battle, who you betting on?”
“Yu Wei of course… that guy’s fierce and ruthless. Who’d He Tu send? Never heard of him.”
“He Tu’s guy is called Jun Zai, something like… Chen Wujun? Too bad can’t watch live, heard they signed Life and Death papers…”
Smack!
Huang Meizhen, who was buying vegetables, dropped the bag of veggies to the ground, her face pale, filled with panic.
Chen Wujun?
Her son?
Signed Life and Death papers with someone?
“No way… same name, definitely same name… how could it be A Jun…” Huang Meizhen flailed in panic, like a giant hand gripping her heart, making it hard to breathe.
Back home cutting vegetables, her mind still full of worries, she accidentally sliced a big cut into her finger.
Until Chen Hanliang came home, she hesitantly said: “Today buying veggies, I heard them talk about He Tu and Li Dong Gambling Battle, said they signed Life and Death papers…”
“Why worry about that? Got nothing to do with us.” Chen Hanliang sat on the sofa, turned on the Television, unconcerned.
“They said one is called Chen Wujun, same name as A Jun…” Huang Meizhen put down what was in her hands, face full of anxiety and unease.
