Chapter 1265: Heavy Bets
Even though Carefree Squad was also an old squad who had been around for many years, they weren’t especially outstanding. They were at about the same level as Heavenly Dragon Squad.
If the unlucky Great Desolate Squad hadn’t met Kyushu Squad so early on, Carefree Squad might not have the chance to make it into the top four.
When they met Kyushu Squad, the outcome was as expected.
All of them were professional experts who were bound to see others around when playing the game. If Boundless Ocean was not afraid that he might spoil the relations.h.i.+p between the two parties, the score might even be N:0.
This was also the reason why the Quan Zhen Sect did not want to face the Kyushu Squad. Getting humiliated by an opponent in front of so many spectators must be an incredibly bad feeling.
After two rounds of compet.i.tion, two teams managed to rise above the others to make it into the finals.
The Undefeatable – Kyushu Squad.
The Up And Rising – A Murder Of Crows.
…
It was no surprise that the Kyushu Squad could make it to the finals. However, the majority of the spectators were still in disbelief that the Quan Zhen Sect’s A Murder Of Crows actually made it this far.
This bunch of weirdos were supposedly just ordinary players to fill up the spots as a representative of the amateurs. Who knew that they would turn out to be one of the greatest black horses in the tournament? Whether they could go all the way to clinch the champions.h.i.+p is now dependent on this last matchup.
Since there were only two teams left in the final, there was naturally not going to be the random selection anymore. Therefore, the odds for the final came out immediately after Team A Murder Of Crows won their semi-finals round.
Kyushu Squad 1:1
Team A Murder Of Crows 1:2
It seemed like many people still believed that Kyushu Squad was going to clinch this champions.h.i.+p.
After all, they were an old squad and every one of their members was a peak grade expert in his own rights. In comparison, the Quan Zhen Sect was slightly weaker in terms of their personnel. Other than w.a.n.g Yu and the two others, there was a huge gap between the quality of players in the two teams.
<> had never been an individual game so even an extraordinary expert like w.a.n.g Yu wouldn’t be able to carry his team all the way by himself. Under such circ.u.mstances, it was only natural that everyone leaned towards Kyushu Squad, who had a better combined squad in terms of abilities and experiences.
Of course, there were definitely many players who contemplated hard on who to bet on.
Even though the Quan Zhen Sect was a name not unencountered often and their squad was filled with weaknesses, the individual style of these players left a deep impression on everyone.
The self-destruct Priest.
Shockingly calculative Shaman.
Powerful Magician.
…
There was even the legendary Pugilist who could convince G.o.d of War Tranquility Yields Transcendence of his abilities.
n.o.body could confidently claim that a squad like this would definitely lose to the Kyushu Squad. Even the players from the Kyushu Squad themselves wouldn’t have that confidence.
At this moment, the Quan Zhen Sect also saw the odds for the two teams through Frost Blade.
Vainglory said proudly, “See that? Our odds are pretty low even when we are up against Kyushu Squad.”
One team was a champion for consecutive years while the other was an amateur team. If this was Great Desolate Squad in their place, the odds would definitely be higher than 1:2. To have an odd like this, it proved that many people thought highly enough of them.
A child tends to be more vain than others. He was naturally going to feel satisfied when he saw that there were many people supporting him.
“Tsk!” Fearless rolled his eyes, “Isn’t our goal to be the champion? With Old Bull and myself here, do you guys really think Kyushu Squad can win us?”
“This…”
Everyone remained speechless… They were not going to doubt w.a.n.g Yu… But Fearless… This bunch of b*stards don’t even believe in themselves enough so why would they trust a shameless fella like Fearless…
However, everyone was certain of something. If they mentioned that they didn’t believe in w.a.n.g Yu, they would at most suffer a beating. If they say the same about Fearless, they would definitely end up worse. Therefore, all they could do was shake their heads helplessly, “No no, nothing like that. We’re just casually saying.”
“That’s good!” Fearless sneered coldly, “In order to prove yourself, bring out all your cash deposit to bet on our team to win!”
“F*ck…” Everyone frowned, “Must we really do this? You should at least let us have either fame or money, right?”
This bunch of fellas had already made plans for the worst possible outcome. They were planning on putting their money on Kyushu Squad to win. In this way, even if they couldn’t clinch the champions.h.i.+p, they would have some money as consolation.
One had to admit that this bunch of fellas were really constantly making sure they earn from something.
Fearless had already seen through all of them from the very beginning so he was not surprised to hear them say this, “So you guys are implying that you don’t have enough confidence in me and Old Bull, right? Old Bull, what do you think we should do to them?”
Fearless turned around to look at w.a.n.g Yu.
w.a.n.g Yu clenched his fist and said, “I will do whatever you deem appropriate!”
“What?!” Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
It was an obvious choice between keeping their lives or keeping their money.
At the thought of this, everyone hurriedly asked, “Of course we have the utmost confidence in Boss Fearless and Boss Iron Bull! Tell us, how much should we bet?”
“10,000!”
Fearless showed one finger.
“10,000 ah… That’s fine!” Everyone quickly took out their bag to take out their money. Splitting among all of them, each person merely needed to fork out about 1,000. It was still affordable for all of them.
Fearless corrected himself, “10,000 each!”
“10,000 each?” Everyone cried out, “Boss, really?”
“Old Bull…” Fearless turned to look at w.a.n.g Yu.
w.a.n.g Yu glanced at everyone.
The cold s.h.i.+vers down their back resulted in them taking out their bag, “10,000 only… Not that much…”
Fearless took over the money bag before taking out a huge bag of his own as he handed all of them to Frost Blade. “Bet on us and remember, make sure you do it in a high-profile manner!”
“High-profile manner?” Frost Blade asked, “What do you mean?”
Fearless replied, “It means that you don’t have to intentionally hide the fact that we’re betting on ourselves to win.”
“What are you planning?” Frost Blade was confused.
It was never rational for the partic.i.p.ant competing in a compet.i.tion to bet, yet this fella wanted everyone to know they are doing so… Wasn’t he worried that others might accuse them of faking a fight?
Fearless smiled and responded, “You don’t have to worry about this! Just do as I say.”
“Alright then!” Frost Blade nodded as he went to place the bets.
Not long later, Kyushu Squad’s Smooth As Silk, who had always been the one to look out for news, smiled and said, “Haha! I’ve just heard very interesting news regarding the Quan Zhen Sect.”
The fellas from Kyushu Squad were also extremely gossipy people. Sacred Mountain immediately asked, “Oh? What is it?”
“You know how the bets for the winner is open right? Someone placed 200,000 gold on Team A Murder Of Crows to win!”
“200,000? Who is that rich?”
Everyone was astonished when they heard this.
Two hundred thousand gold is not a small amount and to bet on A Murder Of Crows? Just how much confidence must he have on them?
Smooth As Silk replied with a smile, “Who else? I’ve heard rumours that they were the ones who placed the bet themselves. Don’t you guys think that they are really an interesting bunch of players?”
