Transcending the Nine Heavens

CHAPTER 40: Let You Lose Everything!

“Cough cough... I don’t have much money either, just a poor person here, merely contributing a little to the scene.” Chu Yang touched his nose, took out a large stack of gold notes from his pocket, and said, “This is it, just for fun. As the ancients say, a small gamble brings joy, winning is a delight, and losing isn’t too bad either.”

Ou Duxiao received the stack, counting each note; his expression grew increasingly astonished. When he reached the last note, he mentally calculated and suddenly exclaimed, “Three million taels of gold?!”

Immediately afterward, he was stunned by the number he just shouted out, standing there in disbelief.

The conversion rate between gold and silver is one to one hundred. This three million taels of gold translates to three hundred million taels of silver! Who would have thought that Chu Yang would be so bold, betting three hundred million at once!

Now the odds are six to one! If Ji Mo wins, the four major stakeholders would have to pay out a staggering eighteen billion!

These notes were all taken from the Great Zhao Imperial Palace. After all, gold and silver notes are universally accepted, so Chu Yang casually brought them out for gambling.

Three hundred million?! Ao Xieyun and the others were also shocked, immediately crowding around Ou Duxiao to glance at the gold notes, then turning to look at Chu Yang with eyes full of astonishment.

Chu Yang smiled humbly and said, “Uh, it’s just a little play, a way to earn some pocket money.”

The four young masters looked at Chu Yang with eyes of disbelief: just a little play, earning pocket money? Damn it, is your pocket money measured in ‘hundreds of millions’?

Ao Xieyun shook his head and chuckled, saying, “Just a little play... Brother Chu, your stakes really are something... However, Brother Chu, we aren’t outsiders here. Ji Mo has a greater chance of losing in this match, so it’s better to consider it carefully.”

Chu Yang’s gaze flickered; he thought to himself that this evil young master really knows how to handle people, his words were quite eloquent. He replied, “No need, I believe Ji Mo will definitely win. Haha, even if he doesn’t win, it’s just three million taels of gold, a paltry sum, truly a pittance, a mere trifle.” As he spoke, he looked at Mo Tianyun with a somewhat strange smile.

Mo Tianyun was already in a bad mood. Although Chu Yang took out so many gold notes, if they lost, the four of them would profit; but upon hearing Chu Yang’s words and seeing the seemingly dismissive look he gave him, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, thinking: Damn it, did I offend you? You’re so polite to others, yet you treat me with such disdain? Do I have a grudge against you?

Mo Tianyun was right; Chu Yang not only had a grudge against him, but it was a significant one!

Mo Tianyun’s anger flared, and he scoffed, “Just a little play... But I wonder how big a gamble would be if Brother Chu went all out?”

Chu Yang grinned, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light. He thought to himself, here it comes, Mo Tianyun really is greedy. Squinting at Mo Tianyun, he countered, “Brother Mo, are you implying that you want to go big with me?”

Mo Tianyun was being sarcastic, but for Chu Yang, it felt like a direct challenge.

In just a few words, they had reached a standoff!

Mo Tianyun chuckled, saying gently, “If Brother Chu wants to play, our four brothers will surely accompany you.” A sharp cold light flickered in his eyes, thinking to himself, no matter how much you have, I’ll make you lose it all! You won’t survive this first-time upstart!

Chu Yang looked at Ao Xieyun and asked, “What do you three think, Brother Ao?”

Ao Xieyun smiled and said, “Brother Chu, it’s best to act according to one’s ability, there’s no need to force it.”

Xie Danqiong also smiled, “Brother Chu can decide for himself.”

Ou Duxiao took a deep breath and said, “This is already quite a lot.”
