Chapter 470: Chapter 470: Betting Battle
Lin Dong had already sensed that soone seed to be tracking him from the shadows.
However, that person’s concealnt skills were simply too extraordinary.
Even when Lin Dong activated his ‘tracking’ ability, he still couldn’t determine the tracker’s exact location.
“As expected of an assassin from the Hall of Dark King, indeed like a ghost…” Lin Dong secretly said.
The breath had just appeared, and then it vanished imdiately.
He didn’t plan to return to the Jingzang Linglong Community tonight but instead intended to head to his villa at the Wuying Resort.
After sending a covert ssage to Sister Bai Jue, Lin Dong made his way toward Wuying Resort.
Upon arriving at the villa, he found his apprentice Li Qingdai already there.
Lin Dong had tasked Li Qingdai and Zhuge Lingyou with taking care of the herbs he had planted at the villa, so the two had been taking turns looking after it for so ti.
Today happened to be Li Qingdai’s turn.
Seeing Lin Dong arrive, a smile appeared on Li Qingdai’s face, and she hurried over.
“Master, you’ve co…”
Lin Dong nodded slightly at her.
Li Qingdai noticed Lin Dong’s grim expression and thought it was because of the news from the past two days.
She had also seen the news about Lin Tiance’s engagent to Qiao Xue.
She was even aware of Lin Dong’s past marriage agreent with Qiao Xue.
So she couldn’t help but console him:
“Master, regarding the engagent between Qiao Xue and Lin Tiance, don’t be too heartbroken.”
Lin Dong chuckled wryly, “Her engagent, why should I be heartbroken?”
“Then why do you look so upset, Master?” Li Qingdai asked, puzzled.
“It’s not about Qiao Xue, it’s about the assassin situation,” Lin Dong said gravely.
“Is it about the Hades order?” Li Qingdai asked anxiously.
She too was a martial artist, and although her strength was only at the Gold Realm Martial Artist level and she couldn’t compare to the likes of Ye Linglong or Liu Qingshan, she was aware of so matters in the Martial Arts World.
And owing to her family, she had access to the Martial Arts Dark Web.
She had naturally seen the ssages there.
Lin Dong nodded, “The first order of assassin from that Hades order is already lurking in the shadows.”
Li Qingdai’s face also changed, and she began to worry for Lin Dong.
“Let’s talk inside the villa!” Lin Dong said and entered the villa.
Li Qingdai followed closely behind.
After entering, Li Qingdai opened the Martial Arts Dark Web.
She was scrolling through ssages about the ‘Hades order.’
She noticed that although a few days had passed, this ssage was still the hottest topic recently.
Moreover, in the Martial Arts Black Market Section, it had beco a ans of ‘Betting Battle’ for everyone.
Betting Battle was like betting on football, a favorite gambling thod among those in the Martial Arts World.
“Master, co and look, in the Martial Arts Black Market Section, everyone is betting and predicting about your situation!”
Lin Dong frowned and ca over.
Sure enough, he saw a ‘Martial Tournant’ subsection within the Black Market Section. In this ‘Martial Tournant’ area, you could place bets on the ‘Hades order’ assassination task.
The Hades order issued by the Gu King generally had four orders.
Starting from the first order, the assassins sent out were increasingly strong. If the first three orders failed to kill Lin Dong, then the Gu King himself would make a move on the fourth order!
The current betting thod was to predict the outco of these four orders.
There were various outcos to bet on, each with different odds.
Betting Lin Dong would be killed by the first order, the odds were 1.2 tis.
Betting Lin Dong would be killed by the second order, the odds were 3 tis.
Betting Lin Dong would be killed by the third order, the odds were 9 tis.
Betting Lin Dong would be killed by the fourth order, the odds were 12 tis.
And then there was betting Lin Dong would survive all four, with the odds being a whopping 100 tis.
Clearly, from the betting odds, it seed most likely that Lin Dong would be killed by the first order. Hence the lowest odds!
As for Lin Dong surviving all four orders, everyone thought it was almost impossible, or else the odds wouldn’t have been as high as 100 tis.
At the mont, people on the Martial Arts dark net forum were betting like crazy.
These were all martial artists, each possessing considerable wealth.
Most bets were in the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, over a million!
There were even people betting tens of millions and even hundreds of millions.
About fifty percent of the bettors had chosen the first one, that Lin Dong would be killed on the first order.
About thirty percent had bet on the second one, that Lin Dong would be killed on the second order.
About fifteen percent had bet on the third one, that Lin Dong would be killed on the third order.
About five percent had bet on the fourth one, that Lin Dong would be killed by the Gu King on the fourth order.
As for the last one, where Lin Dong survives all four with odds of one hundred, hardly anyone bet on it.
Only about zero point sothing percent had placed that bet. And those bets were on the smaller side, the gamblers’ way of thinking to win big with a small stake. Though they thought it impossible, they felt it was no big deal to spend a little money.
What if it hits, right?
Lin Dong thought, should he place a bet on himself too?
He wasn’t short on money now, as the Beautifying Powder kept earning him dividends.
Li Qingcheng had transferred money to him several tis already, although, to be exact, Lin Dong hadn’t checked the amount.
Because to him now, money was essentially just a number.
He logged into online banking and checked how much money was in that card.
This one look startled him too.
It was actually a nine-figure sum.
And it started with a six!
Over six billion.
“Buy it all,” Lin Dong secretly said.
