Ou Yongen took a blank check out of her bag and handed it to Jian Aowei, saying, "Godfather, you'd better not listen to my husband's side of the story. If he loses, you'll lose everything."
Jian Aowei took the check, wrote five million on it, and said, "Ah Dong dares to gamble even a billion US dollars, what is my five million Hong Kong dollars?"
After saying that, Jian Aowei went to the side to make a phone call.
After a while, a man came up to Jane Austen and took the check from his hand.
As the host of this competition, Shen Dong naturally reserved the best seats for himself and his family—the middle of the third row.
At 2:40 p.m., the doors of the Kowloon Bay Convention and Exhibition Centre opened.
Hong Kong Island residents flocked in.
Soon, all two thousand seats were filled, and the atmosphere in the venue became noisy.
Just five minutes before the duel, Mitsui Taku suddenly stepped onto the dueling platform and looked directly at Chen Dong.
Shen Dong was secretly delighted, but deliberately put on a serious expression.
He turned to look at the group of wealthy Japanese patrons who had come to watch the match, and thought to himself, "These Japanese guys seem to be quite rich. They've raised a billion dollars in just over ten minutes. Impressive."
Mitsui Taku coughed and said, "I am Mitsui Taku, the vice president of the Japan Karate Association. Just fifteen minutes ago, I made a bet with Mr. Shen Dong, the director of the Tengfei Martial Arts Academy. Mr. Shen thought my bet was too low and did not agree. Now I have borrowed 800 million US dollars from more than 30 Japanese entrepreneurs, plus my own 200 million US dollars, which brings me to a total of 1 billion US dollars."
“Mr. Shen, aren’t you very confident in Xia Guo Kung Fu? Do you dare to come up on stage and sign a 1 billion US dollar betting agreement with me? If you don’t dare, that’s fine too. Just say that Xia Guo Kung Fu is all talk and no action, and we’ll call it quits.”
"boom"
Mitsui Taku's words immediately ignited the entire audience.
A bet of one billion US dollars? I've never even heard of such a thing, let alone seen one.
Everyone turned to look at Shen Dong.
Shen Dong stood up and said, "Xia Guo Kung Fu is the best in the world, that's a fact recognized worldwide. Even your karate is just an evolution of Tang Shou. Mr. Mitsui, why are you so insistent? One billion US dollars is no small sum. I advise you to think twice before you act."
Taku Mitsui sneered, "Mr. Shen, enough nonsense. Do you dare to sign a performance-based contract with me?"
Shen Dong sighed and advised again, "Mr. Mitsui, you'd better call your father and ask for his opinion. To be honest, I really don't want to bully a junior like you."
Mitsui Taku said dismissively, "In the end, Mr. Shen just doesn't dare to gamble. This shows that the so-called number one Chinese martial arts in the world is a joke. Even the number one master in Hong Kong doesn't have confidence in his own martial arts school's master, so he might as well just cancel the competition to avoid making a fool of himself on the competition stage later."
Seeing Mitsui Taku's arrogance, some of the audience members couldn't stand it anymore.
"Damn, that little Japanese devil is so damn deserving of a beating."
“Mr. Shen, don’t be afraid, bet with him.”
"When has our Chinese martial arts ever lost to the Japanese devils?"
"It's just a billion US dollars, right? If I had that kind of money, I'd definitely bet with him."
......
Ou Yongen whispered in Haitang's ear, "My husband is setting a trap for Mitsui Taku again."
Haitang nodded and said, "This guy is really too insidious."
The public outrage was exactly what Shen Dong wanted to see.
He walked directly to the fighting platform and said to the audience, "Mr. Mitsui Taku's remarks just now have greatly angered me. Since the establishment of our Tengfei Martial Arts Academy, we have never encountered an opponent. Japanese karate is nothing in our eyes. Since Mr. Mitsui Taku insists on having a match with me, then let's have one."
"By the way, other wealthy people from Japan are welcome to participate as well. I, Shen Dong, will accept whatever amount you're willing to offer, since you're all destined to lose anyway."
"good."
"Domineering."
"Clap clap clap clap clap"
The Hong Kong Island residents at the scene erupted in applause and cheers.
A wealthy Japanese businessman stood up and said angrily, "Mr. Shen, you're too arrogant. I'll bet you fifty million US dollars. Do you dare to accept?"
"I'll offer thirty million US dollars."
"I'll offer forty million US dollars."
......
Shen Dong's words thoroughly angered the wealthy merchants of Japan.
They all expressed their willingness to make a bet with Shen Dong.
Shen Dong naturally accepted all comers.
After some calculations, the total amount wagered in Japan reached an astonishing 1.82 billion US dollars.
Mitsui Taku was quite pleased with himself and said, "Mr. Chen, do you have that much money?"
Shen Dong said, “I don’t have cash, but I have shares in New Territories Warehouse. How about this, I’ll offer 20% of New Territories Warehouse as US$820 million, plus the US$1 billion I have, for a total of US$1.82 billion. If you want to play, then I’ll play with you to the end.”
Mitsui Takudo: "Okay. Let's sign the share transfer agreement and the performance-based agreement now."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "No problem."
Because of the bet, the entire competition was delayed by twenty minutes from the original plan.
If it were any other event, the audience would probably have already caused a huge uproar, but not a single person dared to cause trouble today.
A $3.64 billion bet is enough to shut everyone up.
After the relevant agreements were finalized, the competition officially began.
The first match is between Hong Dali and Kentaro Mitsuda.
Perhaps due to the rule of the United States, the outdated practice of signing death contracts for martial arts matches still exists in the martial arts community of Hong Kong.
Unless there is intent to kill, no matter how badly the other party is beaten, no action can be taken.
After the two signed a waiver of life and death, Kentaro Mitsuda made a provocative gesture toward Hong Dali, as if he were cutting his own neck.
Hong Dali just gave him a cold look and said nothing.
"start."
With the referee's whistle, Kentaro Mitsuda launched the first attack.
He took small, quick steps and rushed towards Hong Dali at an extremely fast speed, delivering a powerful roundhouse kick to Hong Dali's abdomen.
Shen Dong shook his head and said, "That's just asking for death."
Jian Aowei, who was standing next to him, was stunned. Just as he was about to ask him why, a loud shout suddenly rang out like a thunderclap, making Jian Aowei's ears ring.
