Chapter 175: Setting Conditions
Maxwell's eyes narrowed and shocked at Shi Tu's aggression, he never expected that Shi Tu would really dare attack them.
Not only Maxwell, but even Lu Huang and Sun Chiwei didn't expect this, as heirs to the Sun and Lu family, after the ancestors came out, they knew about Zhan Xieshen and knew very well that Shi Tu is just a replacement, so they really didn't expect that he would dare to attack a direct descendant of the Farren family because this is like slapping their face.
" How dare you?!! " Max roared fiercely.
Max was shocked by Shi Tu's sudden movement and couldn't respond so quickly, he couldn't even see Shi Tu's movement.
" Stop! if you dare do something to ...."
Max tried to say something to help Alex but he froze in place with fear upon looking into Shi Tu's deadly eyes, all his instincts told him he would die if he moved one step forward so that his body didn't respond to him.
It seemed that Shi Tu's hand had extended, or he didn't perceive the distance properly, or he may have moved without noticing, but his throat suddenly became between Shi Tu's other hand and was raised high to Alex's side.
Maxwell felt his guts green from regret, who told him to be so cocky and confident?
Now he has made a mistake that cannot be undone, believing that Shi Tu is a rational person who appreciates his life and will not dare to do anything threatening his life, but he was wrong and this reminded him of a quote that his ancestor told him.
' Even the greatest emperors and kings, even if they did everything to suppress the peoples and their enemies, but they don't dare to go too far against the powerful who don't fear death and have nothing to lose '
Maxwell didn't understand this well at the time but he understood now, the source of Maxwell's strength isn't himself but his background, people fear him not because of his abilities but because of his background, if someone dares to touch him then the Farren family will chase all his family and friends in order to take revenge, so it is natural that no one dare to oppose him for his and his family's safety.
But what if he encounters a person without family or friends and isn't afraid of death? It is clear that he will die.
Maxwell is considered strong among his peers of the same age but he is well aware that Shi Tu is a true miracle and that he doesn't have the power to resist him, if he says anything at this time then Shi Tu will inevitably kill him.
Thinking about this, Maxwell gritted his teeth and closed his eyes with sorrow and remorse so that he wouldn't witness the death of his two brothers.
' Just wait, I didn't want to involve in this and help Lawrence because he is from the Shadows Garden but you forced me, this humiliation and my brother's blood, you will pay for it!. '
Shi Tu pressed harder on the necks of Alex and Max with the intention of killing them but he hesitated to do so, he didn't want to break his promise to Arcana not to cause trouble but as expected, this tolerance was considered a weakness and now a group of insects dared to say what they wanted?
This mess caught the attention of those looking for the gold card and turned to see what was going on.
" What is happening? It looks like there is a fight. "
" Hey, aren't those Alex Farren and Max Farren? How did it come to this? "
" What is Shi Tu doing? How does he dare attack them? the Farren family is stronger than any of the three great families of Huaxia and the Sun family inevitably will not oppose the Farren family for Shi Tu "
While Shi Tu was hesitating to do it, he heard a voice from behind.
" Stop, Shi Tu. "
Shi Tu looked behind him to see Arcana, again to stop Shi Tu.
Shi Tu hesitated a little bit before dropping them off and throwing them aside.
" Cough "
" Cough "
The Farren brothers raised their head and looked at Shi Tu fiercely but with a deep fear in their eyes.
" This is the second time arcana stop me, but there will not be a third time "
Maxwell put his in hand to help Alex and Max, who were barely breathing.
" Well, where were we? "
Shi Tu spoke as if nothing had happened.
After inspecting Max and Alex's condition, Maxwell stood up and looked at Shi Tu but didn't dare show any hostility and smiled.
" As you were saying, there are no limits. The winner can demand literally anything from the rest of the losers. "
"It looks like there are people who were skeptical about this point so I'll ask again, who would agree? "
This time the rest are not sure, these conditions are really hard, what if the body or all the wealth is asked? They cannot take this risk.
Fan Ru hesitated, then her teeth gritted, " I agree as long as Young Master Shi agrees. "
Fan Ru had no choice. She must take this necklace back no matter what the cost. Even if she is forced to risk everything, her father will not blame her. Without this necklace, her family's fate is death.
She can participate and give a favor to the winner even if it is her body hoping he will help her get this necklace back.
"What?! What are you saying? Say you are kidding, even if this necklace is valuable to you but it isn't worth the risk to lose everything to get it back. "
Rui Feiyue was surprised by Fan Ru's decision and urged her against it, such a necklace that can barely sell for hundreds of thousands yuan, isn't worth the effort no matter its emotional value.
Looking at the situation, Maxwell frowned somewhat, apparently nobody was willing to take the risk, " Don't worry, I will pre-order my request, I don't want anything from anyone, I just want the Gambling King to become my follower if I win. "
Everyone looked at Maxwell and they understood his intentions, this bastard wants to get Lan Chen for himself? Isn't that a lot of greedy? Even they want to get a favor from him, but not to monopoly me, monopolizing him means opposing of all the powers in the world who prefer to get rid of Lan Chen rather than allow him to help a specific party.
Lan Chen's face didn't change much because this was expected, all those trying to get close to him are pursuing his abilities, and those who accepted Maxwell used all methods for this, including the threat, even the Assassins League was hired to deal with him, but he made them all lose a lot of wealth in The interviewer before realizing that it is unwise to pressure him, and of course, Maxwell isn't the first person to challenge him, and it is clear that Maxwell doesn't intend to play with the rules, but he didn't care because Lan Chen was so confident of himself.
" I agree, and for me, I pledge that I will not ask for anything from anyone if I win. My only request would be for Master Shi to return what he stole to Miss Fan Ru. "
Looking at this, Sun Chiwei didn't hesitate and said, " Well, I don't want anything too, I just want Young Master Shi to tell me why my sister died. "
This statement from Sun Chiwei was a shock to all because it represented the death of Sun Jie.
"What?! then what Young Master Su said is true and Princess Sun is really dead? Doesn't that mean that Shi Tu really killed her since Young Master Sun is asking such a question?"
" How is this possible? Who is this Shi Tu? How can Young Master Sun not be angry at his sister's killer? "
" Damn!! Princess Sun, how could she die at such an age? I couldn't even meet her. "
It is normal for a woman like Sun Jie to have a lot of stalkers and secret fanatical admirers of her, so the news of her death was shocking and sad for all men, after all it is sad to lose such a beauty.
" I also agree, and my condition will only be for the master to accept me as a disciple. "
Before everyone calmed down from the shock of Sun Jie's death, Lu Huang fired another bomb.
Accepting him as a disciple? Didn't he call him master before? Doesn't he mean this relationship is one-sided and that Young Master Lu is the one who wants to be Shi Tu's disciple?
Su Yang said, " About myself, I don't want anything because this is useless anyway, but I will participate because it sounds fun. "
No one was surprised by Su Yang's decision, since Lan Chen has declared that he will not ask for anything, there is no reason to fear because Lan Chen will win anyway.
" Well, I will join too, and my only condition will be for Shi Tu to return the necklace and jade stone to Fan Ru. "
Rui Feiyue joined to support Fan Ru so that she wouldn't be left alone.
" Well, I will join "
" And me "
Both Shi Tu and Arcana agreed easily and without hesitation but didn't announce their condition, and this only caused the crowd to ridicule, from their point of view, Shi Tu just wanted to correct his mistake and return the necklace and the jade stone without losing much face, and since Lan Chen announced he will not ask for anything else, there is no need to worry.
